Thinking ahead, assuming we survive this encounter, where should we go? If we don't get help/permission from the orcs, I suggest we check out the hill putting out the plume of smoke. I have a feeling that, given what we figured out about the acidic nature of the air, the smoke is exhaust from a forge. We may find a way in near there to check out the mines/forge. I wonder if the acidic nature of the air has anything to do with the poison we found in Sharn? If the dwarves are aligned with the Emerald Claw, we need to get evidence of it as well as figure out what they are trying to do.
