// a little back ground for those wanting to come. This is the latest installment on Gl0in's EDCQ. The Ulgrid Dwarves are sick and dying from an illness we beleave was caused from a undead thing that was lurcking in the wels. We killed a few and took a stange ooze that the creatures were losing.
After traveling Milstone seeking the finest minds looking for a cure, we were directed to the Dwarvin Clan Stonebrow.The first meeting with the Dwarves Went badly as they were very distrustfull of us, and even fired large bolts hurting fellow party members. Gloin proceded in pissing off the king when one of his advisors, made a remark about Vorax that Gloin took the wrong way and, having threatened the adviser with a good thrashing, was promptly tossed out of the Kings audience.
It's seemed hopeless,needing the King's permission for the healer to work on a cure, and slowly succoming to the illness (having carried the vile of ooze for so long). Gloin doned his armor and with a few mates, left the entrenched dwarf positions and went in search of the Drow. Battle was joined and over twenty Drow fell along with many a spel caster, overwelmed by shear numbers Gloin fell. The leader approched and cut off Gloin's right ear.
Hearing the battle a few Stonebrows came looking the the cause of the sound finding Gloin about to meet the Soul Mother they were able to revive him and the others and made it back to safety. This seemed to have aroused their fighting spirit.After that some of the Stonebrow guards decided that if they were going to die that it would be better to die on their feet fighting, and took their axes and went looking forDrow heads. Reinforced by the group the dwarves were able to fight their way to one of the four tunnels that the Drow were using to attack the Dwarves.
upon hearing this Gloin was again called in front of the king, where Gloin spoke for an attack on the Drow to take and hold all the tunnels from the Drow. To fail means to die.
// this is opened to everyone that wants to come that are not Drow chars, and this will give evryone the background. any younger folks need to know that these are nasty Drow so don't go toe to toe with them. i got most every one with invites incase i missed anyone (i'm sure i did) this is it. hope to see you all have fun

In neat handwriting...
War, if waged for an unjust cause, is evil.
War, if just, is worthy of the highest of lore.
Gloin, may your endevours make you worthy of sitting amoung the epic heroes of old.

PS. I do not intend to go, but such an epic battle deserves to be recognized as such.
