Session 28 - Fear the Cube

Lots of running around this session! In truth I feel kind of bad about how little exp you guys got, but that's the price of staying on the (relatively) low risk low reward first level I guess.

At least you know some more about the dwarfs around here, including that due to the lack of Dwarven females they carve their sons from stone.

You have also made some potential allies in Surly's dwarf guys. They are currently mourning the loss of Shorty and Silly, but they might come back once they've done whatever dwarfs do with their stoney dead. Maybe carve them into tasteful furniture who knows.

See you next week!
