Redhollow Forge and the Eastern Mine Plan
At the entrance to the Redhollow Forge, a flaming skull attacked us with a fireball. We eventually destroyed it. Tess used the old bellows to coat the skull in coal dust, Vaelis ignited it with fire bolt, and we doused the remains with holy water to prevent its return.
Inside, we encountered a ghost wizard possibly named Kaldrek. He was hostile until Vaelis gave him one of our scrolls. Kaldrek then agreed to provide old books and safe passage past his undead, provided that we dealt with the guardian of the adjacent workshop.
The Workshop Guardian
The guardian was a large floating eye. We convinced it that the mine had been abandoned for centuries and that its shift was over. It believed us and vanished without a fight.
Within the workshop, we found a green flame burning in a brazier that could temporarily enchant a weapon. We used it on Ilyra’s sword. We also discovered two magical items:
- Dawnkeeper, a mace claimed by Bromm
- Wyrmward, armor that protects against dragon breath, claimed by Ilyra
Kaldrek kept his word and gave us an old mine plan pointing east toward a dwarven temple. Near a rift, we found fresh tracks and signs of digging, suggesting recent activity. We rested afterward and plan to follow the tracks next time. Perrin remains missing.
