Editing Amethyst Guard (section)

===The Forge of Fury===
A few weeks later, the adventurers found themselves in the town of [[Blasingdell]]. There, a noble named [[Baron Gustav Althon]] hired them to search the dwarven ruins to the north for a legendary cache of weapons forged by the dwarven smith Durgeddin. Before setting out, they were warned that the ruins had been claimed by a band of orcs. After carefully watching the guards, they managed to ambush them and prevent an alarm from being raised, then slipped inside and descended to the caverns below. There they encountered a tribe of troglodytes, but only after slaying them did they discover they were only protecting their young. The group decided to take the troglodyte children with them, as they could not survive on their own, though they were unnerved by Winnea's disdainful treatment of them. At the back of the caverns, where an underground river had channeled out a series of narrow passages, they found an old, abandoned dwarven storeroom. The path ahead was blocked by a dangerous roper, but rather than find another way around Winnea distracted it by feeding it the young troglodytes, to the horror of her companions. Beyond the storeroom they found a path up to the dwarven foundry, which had been claimed by duergar. Though a fight initially broke out, they were eventually able to negotiate a truce, and the duergar warned them that the upper hallways were infested with undead, while the lower led to the chasm below, now the lair of a black dragon named Nightscale.

After clearing out the undead, the party descended into the watery caverns below. Gilia fell into the rushing water and was nearly swept away until she was rescued by Lizard, but they had only barely rejoined their companions when Nightscale ambushed them. Eventually, they were able to drive the dragon into retreating; after discovering its hoard, they took as much as they good carry and returned to Blasingdell. While the villagers were grateful for the elimination of the orcs, Baron  Althon was overjoyed at the weapons they had found and delivered to him.
