Session 28: The Work Fog

??? High Summer, 498 CE

The party, having learned that they arrived in Dwarfheim yesterday, went to re-enter the city again.
- They recieved a map from Seigagar.
- Their only lead being the aetherite crystal found on the Wanderer.
RED SHIFT - They started by heading to the Middle Ring.
- They first traveled to the Helforge, to see where the Aetherite was smelted.
  - The party met Grim Glumson, the Forgemaster.
  - Grim told the party that they had just discovered the process to create Aetherite.
  - They sussed out that the Aetherite was created through physical process, and was made up mainly of mithril.
  - When asked what they do with the aetherite, Grim told them that the dwarves don't have a use for it yet.
  - They just stockpile it in the Warehouse for now.
- Next, being stuck in the Middle Ring until the end of the shift, Revana wanted to check out the Botanica.
  - They met Bjurna Hildendottir, the head botanist.
  - She asked the party what they were doing there, and they convinced her that they were there to help.
  - Bjurna told the party that a couple of trees had become sentient and were disrupting lumber collection.
  - Revana and co. headed into the underground forest to find the treants to calm them down.
  - Revana cast Speak with Plants, where she heard all the plants chanting 'grow, grow, grow!'
  - She also heard a couple trees howling in pain, exclaiming that the voices were too loud.
  - Revana was able to calm the treants down, turning them back into regular trees.
  - Bjurna was very happy with this development.
GREEN SHIFT - The party then decided to head to the Upper Ring.
- They went to the Temple of Duergamiir, thinking maybe the dwarven religion could point them towards Burden.
  - They caught a sermon being delivered by Stonemother Gunhilda Starolfdottir, the priestess of the temple.
  - They learned about Duergamiir, the Dwarf God.
  - At the end of the sermon, they talked with the Stonemother for a while.
  - Eventually the conversation was broken up by a couple of rowdy forgeworkers.
  - The forgeworkers were hastling some of the priests, wanting them to switch shift crystals with them.
  - The party broke up the commotion and told the party to take it up with the Forelady.
BLUE SHIFT - The party, wanting to get some more info on what was going on at the forge, returned to the Middle Ring.
- Sanglant attempted to use his Wind Walk ability, but was stopped by a Guardian.
- The party then decided to check out the Bindery.
  - The found that the dwarves there were all working really hard, as their actions in the Botanica had solved their lumber shortage.
Deciding to go have a rest, the party went to the trams to head back to Old Dwarfheim, but before they could, everything suddenly went black.
They arrived back in Old Dwarfheim with no memory of what they had done the previous day, only learning about it through Ekhart's journals.
Apparently they lost 3 days.
