"That Drow interrogated me, but at first he pretended that he was here working for Sildar. But when I questioned why a human had anything to do with the mine, let alone a drow, that's when he attacked me. He hit me with the sharp end of some kind of staff and I think it was poisoned."Alice is sitting down, listening to the story, playing with Nezzer's head on her lap.

I apologize for the late introduction! I am Yulya- Peace Cleric of Eldath and leader of this party. These are my companions and friends - Cat the Tabaxi Barbarian and Alice the... Alice![/i]The Alice nods respectfully but still does not really trust the dwarf
Do you by any chance know a druid named Alric of Triboar? He also worked for Nezzer and confronted us outside the mine. His last mistake.Oh yeah, the guy with the troll! Lies outside in his underwear now, frozen stiff. I told them to leave peacefully but no, they wouldn't listen. Hey, didn't Daniella say she followed him because he tried to change the bandits or something? I think she was from this Triboar too!
Unless anyone objects, the party moves everything and everyone onto th elevator and raises it to a secure positionAlice packs up Nezzer's head with the skull inside and helps moving everything onto the elevator
I'm Kingir Grista of Triboar." He pats his body and finds a plate and hands it over. It shows he's a citizen of Triboar as a Scoutsman and Miner. "Pleasure to meet you all, sorry I'm still a little hazy, so you were hired by the Rockseekers to secure the mine from something strange and didn't know about the Cloaked Wolves? Frankly I don't know why they holed up in the mine, it's not the safest place without the map. I remember we had to avoid the mushroom people, there was a giant octopus here somewhere and surely you saw the sign about the land sharks. Nasty beasts seem to know where you are even in the black. I wouldn't be surprised if those bandits lost a few of their own to them."Yulya remembers dwarves are generally honest and reliable but not the greatest talkers or socialites. Getting useful information from this man might be a challenge.

"Have you ever been to Triboar? My sister runs the Stonehill Inn there.I must say I have not, I lived as a hermit before becoming an adventurer. Do you by any chance know a druid named Alric of Triboar? He also worked for Nezzer and confronted us outside the mine. His last mistake.

"The lower entrance was suspected open about a month ago and that's when I was hired but I had to travel back to Triboar ahead of that to get gear since it's so cold this spring and Phandalin didn't have the supplies I wanted. Speaking of which, did you happen to find a pair of fir lined boots, a large coat and scarf? I had those on... but now I remember taking them off somewhere."Yulya shakes her head.
Yulya Nya when will they wake up Nya? We must think about returning Nya! And everyone must be in good shape for that Nya! I'd like to move to the elevator as soon as possible Nya! We are 6 now Nya! Our supplies won't last forever Nya, especially with - picky eaters Nya!Good thinking Cat! The elevator is probably the safest place. Let us move there and suspend ourselves where we cannot be reached until everyone has recovered. Then we will head up.

Yulya takes out her adventurers plate.
The dwarf is exhausted, wondering who has rescued him or where exactly he is, he's near delirious when he's handed a relic of a mug, he considers if he's actually dead but then where are his ancestors? He sips the soup and nearly chokes on it. He does his best to be appreciative but this isn't edible in his estimation. [Could be the dog meat or something else, who knows.]

>chicks are not available in your countryHaha
that would suck
Yulya-sama! Can't you do anything?Yulya shakes her head in an apologetic way.
Alice isn't satisfied with the dwarf's story either, not at all. First of all it lacks two crucial words.Yulya has to agree with her alien friend -something definitely is off here. Yulya nervously glances over to the girls. If only they were to wake up, her options would increase greatly....For now Yulya has to rely on her perception as she tries to analyze the dwarfs intentions.
Furthermore there's an utter lack of any introduction or name. Alice circles the dwarf with growing impatience then turns to Yulya and whispers to her.
Yulya-sama! Does this make any sense? No thanks for reviving him, no name, no info on his relation to the Rockseekers. They mentioned nothing of a scout. I agree we've been had but the conspiracy must go way beyond Sildar. Gundren hired us for a rookie mission without mentioning the valuable map he had. And that well-organized bandits controlled the area. Nobody in Phandalin mentioned the cloaked wolves, neither Daran nor Harbin though this guy knows them as well as the bandits we interrogated. And Gundren's brothers sent us here, not Sildar! 25gp for reaching the throne room and clearing the mine. Even though they themselvs consider the mine unnavigable without a map. Rookie scout mission my ass! The whole story stinks! The Rockseekers and especially Daran must have known what was going on here. You read the inscription at the entrance. And this guy was interrogated for the map? Nezzer was already in the throne room. Why would he need it? Even we traversed the mine without danger of getting lost. The whole story with the map is bogus too! This man is obviously hiding something! Be careful!
