Rolo had briefly conversed with the drow then retreated after they apparently sounded an alarm. Rolo goes back up the stairs and moves 60 ft west down the passage then 10 ft north to a set of double doors, of which he then proceeds to open with the mage hand spell. Inside can be seen the following:   Six cracked marble pillars line the walls of this hall, at the north end of which stands a nine-foot-tall statue of a dwarf seated on a throne, a mighty stone warhammer across his lap. Large emeralds gleam in the statue’s eyes. The dust and debris covering the floor has been swept to one side, and a campsite of sorts now spreads in front of the statue. Half a dozen bedrolls and packs are neatly arranged around a rough-built fire pit. A wooden table stands on the west side of the room between two pillars.   Nezzar says, “It seems I must deal with this myself, a pity it must end this way. Whom is it that pays us a visit today?!"   There is a moment of whispering among the party is had as they debate what to do then Avery  and Roqar, steps in front of the opened double doors.   Nezznar says, “Ah, I see we now have two young ladies here with us today. Who may you two be?"   Avery says, “We are merely adventurers, here seeking a friend. My name is Avery. My friend here is Roqar. May I ask what you are here for?"   Nezznar says, "Quite simply, I am here for the great wealth this old mine has to offer. Whom is this friend you seek? Were you sent here by someone?"   Avery says, “And what might that be?   Nezznar says, “The metals in this mine alone is worth a fortune as well as anything left behind from the battle long ago here!"   Avery says, “On behalf of another friend, yes. Two dwarves, here in this mine. Brothers. We see that one of them is dead, picked clean by forces yet unknown. We are hoping the other may yet still be alive. I don't suppose you have seen him?" Avery repeats what Roqar whispers to her, “We found a map to here and we are looking for someone to help us find treasure.”   Nezznar says, “You must be referring to Nundro, yes he is alive.”   Avery says, "Where is he? His brother is quite worried, and I think it might be best if he were brought home safely now."   Nezznar says, “Nundro, we have visitors here, show yourself!”   A few moments later a dwarf walks into view from a side passage to the east, looking a little beat up.   Nundro says, “Yes, what is it you want from me now?”   Nezznar says, “These girls are looking for you Nundro.”   Nundro says, “Ah, I see, you should not have come here!”   Nezznar says, “Enough, Nundro!”   Avery says, “Perhaps not, but we have come anyways. As has Gundren. We wish to take him home to safety, before something else happens to him."   Nundro says, “Ah! Gundren is here as well! Good, good!”   Roqar, straightens her armor and fingers her weapons.   Nezznar says, “Gundren is your brother, is he not?”, Nundro says, “Yes he is”!   Nezznar says, “Perhaps we can make some sort of deal here?”   Roqar says, “What would it take to be able to leave here with Nundro?”   Avery says, “You said you are looking for treasure, right?”   Nezznar, “Yes right. You could work for me, of course. Would you help me search the caves?”   Avery says, I think that could be arranged. I know of two dangerous places we’ve yet to find our way past.”, Roqar, looks at Avery and nods.   Avery points out the drow with the 3 bugbears over in the next cavern and the huge iron forge room filled with zombies and a flameskull. She refers to the green flamed brazier, (the spellforge), as “Something quite fascinating”, beyond those two areas.   Nezznar says, “I know not what could be here, but my crew and I search for anything to be found.”   Avery says, “I believe there is a Spellforge in this cave. Down the far eastern side. We have already dismissed the one who was guarding it. In return for Nundro's freedom, we will go there together."
Nezznar says, “I see, interesting. I certainly would love to have a look! Nundro can come along for now.”   Aver says, “One question before we proceed. Who are you?"   Nezznar says, “In time, if you prove yourselves worthy, perhaps I will let you know who I am."   Roqar says, “I don’t like this but a deal is a deal.”   Avery questions on whom the drow and bugbears are. Nezznar says they are a part of his crew.   Avery says, “He is. Well, that is a relief. Perhaps we could use his help with those...undead creatures."   Nezznar says, “Yes, I am sure he is capable.”   Marcuria whispers under her breath, “… Avery… You are out of your mind…”   Roqar whispers, “You are just now realizing that?”, Murcuria says, “Shush.”   Avery says, “Wonderful. Let us proceed then, sir.”   Everyone now proceeds down to the cavern where the drow and bugbear were.   Along the way the unseen Nezznar gives an order in bugbear, “The rest of my men shall also come along now! [In Bugbear]: “Attention! To all let us guide our guests to the spellforge!”   Five more bugbears now join the party, coming up from a barracks room off a south passage.   Everyone splits up into two groups to first deal with the undead in the area before the giant smelter room.   One groups goes up the stairs on the cavern’s south west end well other enter through a lower passage on it’s south east side.   Avery, uses her bardic inspiration so that everyone in her group can add a D6 to their ability checks, attack rolls or saving throws.   Initiative rolls are made and Combat Round #01 Begins: [Only hits and spells casts are mentioned to save space due to long battles here!]   Avery, casts Vicious Mockery at Ghoul #03, who fails his wisdom save rolling a 9 needing ≥ 14, so he takes 1 psychic damage and has disadvantage on his next turn!   Rolo, casts a Fire Bolt cantrip hitting a Ghoul for 10 fire damage!   Farren, swings his short sword, slashing Ghoul #02 for 7 damage!   Juan, pounds Ghoul #02 with the magical and glowing  +1 Lightbringer mace, dealing 5 + 1 radiant damage!   Combat Round #02:   Avery, casts the Vicious Mockery spell at Ghoul #05, who rolls a 7 needing ≥ 14 for the wisdom save and takes 4 psychic damage and has disadvantage on his next turn.   Bugbear #05, pounds Ghoul #03 for 13 damage with the morning star, defeating him!   Ghoul #07, bites Farren for 7 damage!   Roqar, stabs Ghoul #02 with the short sword for 5 + 7 sneak attack damage, defeating him!   Farren, slashed Ghoul #07 for 9 damage with the short sword!     Combat Round #03:   Dia, casts the Ray of Frost cantrip at Ghoul #04, striking for 8 cold damage and movement reduced by 10 ft!   Avery, casts the Vicious Mockery spell at Ghoul #04, but he makes his save rolling a 19 needing ≥ 14!   Bugbear #05, pounds Ghoul #01 for 17 damage with the morning star!   Roqar, slashed Ghoul #07 for 8 + 12 sneak attack damage, with the short sword, defeating him!   Marcuria, pounds with a +1 gauntlet punch at a Ghoul dealing 6 bludgeoning damage!   Bugbear #02, pounds Ghoul #04 for 9 damage with the morning star!   Bugbear #03, pounds Ghoul #04 for 10 damage with the morning star, defeating him!   Bugbear #01, pounds Ghoul #06 for 7 damage with the morning star, defeating him!   Juan, pounds Ghoul #01 for 6 + 3 radiant damage with the +1 Lightbringer mace, defeating him!     Combat Round #04:   Dia, casts the Ray of Frost spell at Ghoul #05, hitting for 7 cold damage and reducing speed by 10 ft!   Rolo, casts the Fire Bolt spell, hitting Ghoul #05 for 7 fire damage, defeating him!   Bugbear #02, pounds Ghoul #06 with the morning star, for 16 damage, defeating him!   End of Combat!   Here is what is seen in the cavern they are inside:   Steep escarpments divide this large cavern into three sections—high ledges at either end, and a lower section in the middle. Carved stone stairs climb up to the ledges. Two large tables stand in the middle section, along with a pair of old braziers. A smaller table stands on the eastern ledge. The skeletal remains of dozens of dead warriors—dwarves, gnomes, orcs, and ogres—attest to the fierceness of the fighting that took place here long ago.

The furnace is cold and dark, but heaps of coal are piled nearby, along with carts full of unrefined ore. The waterwheel sits in a ten-foot-wide channel cut into the floor of the room, but the channel is dry. Passages exit to the west, south, and east. The empty channel exits to the north and east. More than a dozen withered corpses are scattered around the room. These slain dwarves and orcs are still wearing the remnants of their armor. Marcuria, Took a few deep breaths to compose herself, before turning to Roqar.   Roqar Says: "Thanks Marcy"   Marcuria Says: "You're crazier than I am, and that's saying something. You alright?"   Roqar says, "I'm fine, love ya to" peck on the cheek   Marcuria grabs Roqar by the arm when she does that, with a smirk and says: "Careful.
