GM: Ack. Sorry all heard it yes. Excellent post.
See that's how to do it. Folks complain there's not enough to do
for themselves. The true gamer can act and speak up without prying it
out. So good post.

<x-tab> </x-tab>[Ma 3rd,
1636TH]<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
1:10 pm – South-East of Ma'Dor]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok is still grasping Barbosa by the shoulders after
pulling him off Velf, when Barbosa, seeing Dorhak clinging desperately to
the far cliff's edge, leaps to a stand, crying out to the light
"Take me!"
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok's eyes widen & his mouth falls open as the lights
glow brighter & Dorhak is gathered and lifted in the beams, to
safety. The miner leans forward to grasp Barbosa's shoulder again, and
whispers softly in Dwarf Elder, "I think you might have - did you -
wow, you might have just helped save Dorhak." Suddenly he remembered
his role in this venture, and added, a little louder, again in the
Dwarf's tongue, "Now I have to shake you up a bit for supposedly
disobeying, so," and his volume increased & he shook the dwarf's
shoulders a bit, gripping hard, "you have to be more careful &
remember you're a playing a prisoner here! And so do I!," and
shoving the dwarf back, he released him, glaring at all those around,
eyes ending at the view across the cleft. He knew a bit about how Barbosa
felt at the moment, & he silently sent a prayer upwards, "God of
Dorhak, please keep your servant and our friend safe from harm. So may it
be."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak rises after being unceremoniously dropped by the
dwarvish runes. He's not offended as this is just the way of his
kind. He wipes his nose, and carelessly wipes away some of the
blood onto his clothes. Ouch! That hurts. Broken again.
He doesn’t really care. It’s not like it ruins his Adonis-type good
looks.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He chuckles to himself about that. It’s not like he
hasn’t seen a mirror.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He rather dreads answering the voice. He hopes to the
gods that none of the others on the other side will hear the declaration
of his lineage. It’s just too much shame to endure, especially in
front of Barbosa. The others likely won’t understand even if they hear it
in their own language.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"Yes, I am ready, as any dwarf warrior should be any
time!" he says defiantly. Then nothing happens.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak whispers it low so no one hears but the wall.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He takes a deep breath, and begins to recite in Dvallin,
knowing full well he must succeed despite the chance of failure. He
girds himself and says as boldly as he is able, "I am Dorhak, a new
name given me by my people. My birth name, though I dread to voice
it, is Glanur, son of Henwas Rubysmith, son of Pany Crystalgold, son of
Ergyryad Opaldwarf, son of the Crystal Clan and, ultimately, proud son of
our great king Dvallin, the greatest dwarf, and who is the son of
Goibniu, creator of our race. And if you should strike me down, I
gladly die with pride in my lineage and our gods!"
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From behind the others only hear a murmur as Dorhak gently
moves the still lit torch to the side.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Moments pass that string into an eternity.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Then the voice speaks again this time with a dim green hue,
“Dorhak son of Henwas Rubysmith. You surely would have died if the
fates and your companions did not interfere. You did not have faith
for the crossing. But faith can be replaced by bravery and
determination. The potential sacrifice of your friend is enough to
turn the tide. A second chance, only given once, is granted.
All interference will be stopped now.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
A energy field shows up behind Dorhak at the edge of the
cliff. It is a star field of white particles but clear enough to
see throw.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The voice continues and Raddok translates. Velf nods,
“this is where only a few got to. No one has answered 2
questions. They...found themselves falling and failing. But
good thing is they are allowed more than one guess. Typically we
can hear them but they can't hear us.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
“What is there but not seen. What encompasses the mind
and heart. Without one is lost. With it direction and
purpose. What is it?”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The runes turn to a dull yellow as the wall transforms into
a dark shiny surface like some use to divine visions from a bowl of
water.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn watches and understands no elf was probably
here. Just dwarves. Dwarf magic is not as common and is typically
for armor or weapons. Great craftsman magic can also be done like
this major rune-wall.

Update...Mon/Tue?
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: Sorry
for delay. Been a hectic week with doc visits and losing sleep 2
days due to early stuff to do. Plus staff slacking and storms delay
stuff as well. I can try to work on next post as soon as Dorhak
replies. Others are free to post as Raddok did so well. I'll
try Mon/Tue if I'm delayed this weekend. Thanks for hanging in
there.
