Part 6. The Story of the Adventures of Roi; a pleasant yet introverted, middle-aged Dwarf who is not intrepid but who has to overcome his fears to begin an unwanted life as an Adventurer.

They soon left the cobbled town behind and ventured to the outskirts where the terrain became barren and dark; twisted trees their growth stunted, heavy grey rocks casting shadows all around them. Sue Boyle did not say much but tracked at a good pace, Roi and his followers striving to keep up over the rubble strewn ground. They were eventually escorted to the entrance of a recessed cave, a faint glow from inside illuminating the skulls on spikes that marked the cave's entrance. "Lamb Stew" whispered the female dwarf into the darkness. "Ale" replied a deep voice from within. Slowly a Dwarf emerged from the dark, lantern in hand, surveying the group of adventurers and addressing his friend. "I've stayed on guard here as you said, they're still in there somewhere, but evil abounds, i can sense it." 

Sue introduced Daerren to the group and explained how they had been scouting out this location for a few weeks, watching a stream of ne'er-do-wells going in and out. "This seems like the perfect opportunity to find out more about them", shouted Kharmur, "prepare your weapons" echoed Roi.
