## Synopsis

### A Trip to see Furtin

We decided it was time to go and tell Furtin what we had found out about the Saboteurs and the Meanest Dwarf. While the Professor was preoccupied with something else, we set off for the Norgunson Clan Hold. The guard took us to see Furtin a reception room where we told him all we had to say on the matter of the Meanest Dwarf. Furtin told us that the Meanest Dwarf was a very dangerous man called Harlok Balgorson who, along with the Golden Mug, owned various warehouse in Skalf's Hold.

Furtin said that he cannot go after Harlok as he does not have the power - there are few who do. It would take some real, proper evidence to take Harlok down - the sort of evidence that we don't have. The only lead Furtin could help us on was the human miners he employed that might have given some information to Harlok to enable the Saboteurs. He said he was exploring this lead and would tell us if anything came up. We gave him our address: Our House, Deadgate.

After leaving Furtin, we decided to but the case of the Saboteurs on the back burner - this was clearly something that needed a lot of time and effort. We have time, but are lacking in the effort.

### Shopping!

#### A Trip to the Blacksmith

Whilst we were in Skalf's Hold, we decided to go and see Grundi the Blacksmith . We sold him various bits of loot that we had from our escapades and we each did some personal business.

Snorri sold his axe, shield and scale armour and bought a shiny, new dwarfen set of mail. Rel went in the back room and looked at Grundi's long pole arms. She chose a nice, good shaft with a pointy tip. Aleksi got his mail studded, just how he likes it.

We mentioned to Grundi that we intended to head down into the Ruins and he asked us if we would do him a favour. He told us that the previous day (Wellentag 8th Pflugzeit) his kinsman, Gorek Mordinson, went down into the Ruins with a group of friends. Frundi feared for him as he was young. Grundi asked us to keep an eye out for him down there and to tell him if we saw him. Grundi also told us of his encounter with a Rock Worm in the ruins and showed us his leg that was 'gouged to hell'.

#### A Trip to the Supply Shop

After leaving Grundi's, we went to Grondella's Supply Shop in the Foreign Quarter. On our way, we passed Zambor's Well where we noticed people talking to those who were about to enter the Ruins.

We bought the basic supplies and Rel asked Grondella if she had any specialties. She said she didn't. After a bit of haggling, Rel managed to flog our looted set of leather for 3gc.

On the way out we heard people talking loudly about a competition. We asked Grondella about it and she said that they were talking about the tournament run by Stefano Rivera at the Temple of Myrmidia that happened on the 15th of every month.

### Reading the Stars and Writing Runes

We decided it was a good idea for Rel to read our star signs. It wasn't. Bad luck for four bloody days! Brandr also took some time inscribe a rune into his armour, but stayed up all night doing it.

### The Tournament

We decided to go to the Tournament of Myrmidia before we went down the Ruins. We talked to Stefano and he told us it was a basic melee tourney and the prize was some special time with him. It was to be a test of strength and endurance, like listening to Stefano.

Aleksi decided he was going to take part and the rest of us bet on his to win. First Aleksi faced Darro Runa - Darro threw his sword into the crowd for some reason and Aleksi grappled him, winning the round. Aleksi faught Falco Fiedler in the second round - Aleksi spanked Falco in the buttocks with his blunt spear and the sonic boom ruptured Falco's anus like a rectal newton's cradle. In the third round Aleksi faced Roswitha Nachtigall - she saluted Aleksi but Aleksi did not salute back because he does not respect women and then he munted her, winning the third round. In the final, Aleksi faced Remy Cyrasse who had beaten a big fucker in the previous round. Aleksi did salute Remi because he respects men, but then he sent him down just like a lady. Throughout the whole thing, Aleksi didn't take a single hit and he won his special time with Stefano.
