Réveillé par un tremblement distant, vous vous extirpez de la masse de pierre et de poussière qui vous recouvre. À quelques pas de là, une faille profonde a englouti la ferme dans laquelle vous aviez été hébergés la nuit précédente. De la poussière et des décombres… c’est tout ce qu’il en reste.

La lumière s’affaiblit et vous constatez que la famille se tient devant vous. Leurs corps sont tordus et brisés par le Cataclysme, mais il semblerait que cela ne les gêne pas. Leurs yeux blancs fixent un point, mais semblent tellement vides. Leurs membres sont relâchés… trop relâchés, presque mous, on dirait. Au début, vous pensez que ce ne sont plus que des créatures sans vie, mais vous observez pourtant que le sang circule encore dans leurs veines et que leur cœur bat, doucement.

[OUT]From what you know, they are the rarest of dwarven caverns, heavily guarded and said to hold the most ancient of secrets. Clearly the Shattering moved this one to the surface, for you could not imagine your kin abandoning it otherwise. But this one also seems wounded, damaged. Something more than the shakes happened here.

'A burst of light, eh? I will test for that too, then, thank you. Yes, a master of your kind, old enough to have lived in the days before the Awakening -- they may hold such knowledge still.\\nAlthough I would rather hear it from the horse's mouth, as it were. Dwarves seem inevitably involved in this. But your choice.'

+[NODE]6
[STORY]
You finally enter the red cave and you now realise the meaning of its name.\\nThe walls and floor are rough, layered with blood-red moss and black veins. Faint crimson light lingers beneath this odd canopy, pulsating quietly in slow rhythm.

+[NODE]8
[STORY]
You move through this odd tunnel and find several paths, some leading to small alcoves that are clearly used by the bandits as storage. Other paths are entirely collapsed. The only remaining way leads to what looks like an entrance to another, larger tunnel.\\nBut there is a membrane blocking your way.
[/STORY]

[OUT][Orc or strength] Everything breaks, and this thing will too!
[/NODE]

[STORY]
The scholar takes his time to study the membrane, then speaks:\\n'It is beyond me for now. But the samples tell me it is infused with old magic, yet at the same time is organic. Odd, very odd.\\nI see two ways. We can work on a mystical solution or, well, bash it.'

[STORY]
For a time, you are sure the membrane will not break. With every swing, the odd substance simply repairs itself, and the gooey slime stings your skin and hurts your spirit.\\nBut finally, your force overwhelms the thing, and as you push through it, the barrier collapses in on itself.
[/STORY]
[OUT]Take a look around.
[/NODE]

+[NODE]13
[STORY]
You stand in a dark chamber, covered still in the strange moss, but here, you see a deep hole in the middle, the earth and stone around it torn from within.\\nAnd from this hole, cracks spread out like the sun's rays. They are small here, yet you see bright light within and you sense enormous power within, pulsating, spreading.\\nAnd yet, from your divine connection, you also sense that this is a mere outlet, not the source.
[/STORY]
[OUT]Turn to the Alchemist for answers.

'That is an excellent question.

He nods, and as you turn to enter the red cave, the elves arrive. Several of the emissaries are hooded and keep their distance.

[STORY]
'The light-beast drew power from us because of our pure connection to the light. We decided to sever this connection willingly in penance for our kin's folly.\\nThis sacrifice also allowed us to acquire the heart of the forest from a forest demon.

You see the smith standing outside the red cave. He has his smithing hammer and several men are watching him.\\n'Ya got the blood yet?'

[OUT]Oui !
[OUT]Non. Partir.
[/NODE]

+[NODE]49
[STORY]
'I suppose they forgot about poor old me when the earth shook and cities were misplaced. One prison here or there, eh?'
[/STORY]
[OUT][Dwarf]Insist that he cut the bullshit. Dwarves would not forsake a grandmaster, as they are few and far between, almost like a dwarf-wife.
[OUT]But the Alchemist knew where he was?
[/NODE]

+[NODE]50
[STORY]
'Bah, I won't fool ya, will I? I am no grandmaster, not anymore. I was dishonoured, my beard torn, my name struck from stone forever. The fools! They did not understand -- the heart, the giant was weak, I had to find ways! It was all for them! '
[/STORY]
[OUT]So the dwarves decided the prison was his punishment for breaking the dwarven code of ethics?
[/NODE]

+[NODE]51
[STORY]
'A learned man, that one, and like you, touched by your gods or what have ya.\\nListen, I was, well, not popular in my last days.

[/STORY]
[OUT]So they left him here because he was not liked?
[/NODE]

+[NODE]52
[STORY]
'Ethics! Ha! They are afraid, and they should be. I was able to command stone and bend metal to my will. The warrakus - an accident, a shameful sort - but I could make them again and again. The fools did not listen to reason. My runes are an art that they could not grasp. Stone idiots!'
[/STORY]
[OUT]Ask if he regrets his cruel experiments.

'No? Finny that. I'd have said they were. I'd swear no self-respectin' dwarf would pray to a god. So ya see, perspective. I call them idiots, and ya left them and found new fools to follow. Either way, we're both out.\\nI will not speak of it more.'

'Cruel, bah! Exceptional, inventive . . . I do not care for suffering or pain, only results. I was there when the giant gave his heart and it opened my mind to such possibilities.

'Aye, good. So ya understand the process had no meaning, only the results. I was there when the giant gave his heart and it opened my mind to such possibilities. I also knew this day could come.

+[NODE]60
[STORY]
'Kill most of the dwarves so they feed my master rune and thus make an extra-strong heart of the earth to replace the one that was lost.

[/STORY]
[OUT]Agree to kill the dwarves and thus weaken the lightbringers greatly. Then go face the final challenge.
[OUT]Say that you will not sacrifice the dwarves. Agree to go kill the champions, then come back and give your own spirit to forge the weaker heart.

'It depends, really. How much do ya know of the Shattering?'
[/STORY]
[OUT]It broke the world, threatens to keep doing it, and some light creatures came out and keep attacking folk. And the gods want you to deal with it.
[/NODE]

+[NODE]62
[STORY]
'Yes, that covers it. In short, there was once a giant's heart that kept the light down under and kept the earth in one piece.\\nThe heart was broken by some fools. Now we need a new one. And yes, I can make one. But there are no more giants to lend a hand, so I need to improvise.\\nAnd even when I have the heart, ya will still need to slay the light-beast that sits where the heart should be.'
[/STORY]
[OUT]Continuer d'écouter.
[/NODE]

+[NODE]63
[STORY]
'To forge the heart of earth anew, I need another stone heart -- in fact, many. This is what my kin were made for, sadly, and the time is now. We failed to keep the heart safe. Now our hearts will make a new one.\\nIf you agree to it, I will distribute a death-rune to my brethren. Once I craft another, the life-rune, it will connect with its dark twin and take power from it. This power will come at the expense of dwarven lives.'
[/STORY]
[OUT]How many lives need to be sacrificed for this?
[/NODE]

+[NODE]64
[STORY]
'Many, perhaps most.'
[/STORY]
[OUT]Most dwarves will die, and he is okay with it?
[OUT]Never!
[OUT]Ask Ail'yleth if this is why she convinced you to come here and not the elves. They would have to pay a similar price, right?
[/NODE]

+[NODE]65
[STORY]
'You are wise. Yes. This is why. But you do have more than one path here. Both are preferred to the sacrifice of my own kin. Let us not waste time -- make up your mind, champion.'
[/STORY]
[OUT]Most dwarves will die, and he is okay with it?
[OUT]Never!
[/NODE]

+[NODE]66
[STORY]
'Aye, like I said, the process is irrelevant, but the results matter. Those old fools need to die anyway. Stuck in their stone ways, metal heads too stubborn to learn. They pay the price for their own arrogance, for it was them that were supposed to keep the earth-heart safe.'
[/STORY]
[OUT]How will their deaths be used?
[/NODE]

+[NODE]67
[STORY]
'The heart forged from their sacrifice will not only stop the Shattering, it will also be strong enough to pull the light back into the core. It will weaken all creatures taken by the lightbringers, including the beast that you must slay in order to place the heart where it belongs.'
[/STORY]
[OUT]So he will make the runes, then forge a heart and power it with the deaths of dwarves. Then you will need to slay the light-beast and put the heart in a special place, yes?
[/NODE]

+[NODE]68
[STORY]
'Yes. Once the heart is where it should be and the light-beast is banished, things should eventually get back to normal. Until the next genius decides to screw with the world order.'

He nods, his eyes darken, and a grin flashes across his stone-cold face:\\n'Good, excellent! Yes, I mean. You made the right choice. Now I will finish the forging of the rune.'

[/NODE]

+[NODE]70
[STORY]
'I am one of only three grandmasters that live. Even if they choose to forget me, I forged the runes that keep their fires going. The death-rune will be placed by your Alchemist friend in one forge.

[STORY]
The grandmaster works at his anvil for several hours, carefully carving an intricate design onto a single, unimpressive slab of stone.\\nYou notice the tool he uses is dabbed in the druid-tree's blood, and with every stroke a faint red glow briefly lights up the design. The tension is high.

The grandmaster stops, puts the stone away, and begins to clean his tools. The Alchemist appears by your side:\\n'I did not interfere with your choice. It was yours to make. Now it is done. No fireworks, no special effects, but the rune is working now. He will place it in the heart he forged, and we will have it ready when the light-beast is slain. I marked the entrance to the tunnels that will take you directly to the creature.'

[/NODE]

+[NODE]75
[STORY]
'I feared ya may be too soft to do the right thing, and since ya own my arse, I will not waste time arguing.\\nI can make a weaker heart. You will need to defeat the four great dwarven champions that were supposed to guard the heart in the first place, but failed. With their demise I will forge an inferior rune. It will hold the earth and the light, but it will not weaken the beast that you must slay.'
[/STORY]
[OUT]What was the beast again?
[OUT]Anything else?

[/NODE]

+[NODE]5
[STORY]
You've heard of places built by your dwarven kin to hold mythical monsters. Some say it was done for amusement, but you know it was for learning. The runemasters of old were said to collect those creatures in an attempt to bind their powerful spirits to stone and metal, thus creating runes of magnificent strength -- awful stuff to be sure, but marvellous at the same time.
[/STORY]
[OUT]Head straight for the eastern passageway. You know this is where the main holding cells would have been, so it is likely where the dwarf is kept.
[OUT]Even though there is likely danger, explore some of the cells anyway before trying to rescue the dwarf. You may find something useful here.
[/NODE]

+[NODE]6
[STORY]
This place was clearly a prison of some sort, built to hold extremely large creatures, perhaps even dragons.\\nSome cells hold the skeletal remains of such monsters, and other cells are empty or contain piles of ash. You also notice that some of the dirt has been disturbed, so you may not be alone in here.\\nYou uncover some arrows and sigils written in the common tongue that suggest the direction of a central cell, likely where the dwarven prisoner is kept.

+[NODE]10
[STORY]
As you enter one of the cells, a trap door opens beneath your feet and you fall down into a dark space with squishy debris under your feet. You hear the sound of stone slowly moving somewhere nearby.
[/STORY]
[OUT][Dwarf or goblin]A classic trap -- the walls are going to squash you, and your guts would normally feed whatever beasts still lived here. There is usually a hidden safety switch, so find it!

In the middle of this huge space designed for a dragon, you see a lone drunken dwarf, singing and talking to himself:\\n'If I were a rich man . . . oh, how did it go? Eh, over the mountain pass?
