Under the Earth where the Dwarfs made their tunnels
Berra defended the halls of her hosting
Swore with her sword she would keep all the secrets
Marched in the Dark with the Truth held before her
What Really Happened
Within the Dwarf Mine, the group – minus Koraki – were asked to do a favour to the Dwarf, as he had a problem that needed more than the usual amount of flexibility, and many dwarfs might fall prey to what was down there, despite it being something that would not affect human people. Berra did a lot of questioning about how to bring people back – dead or alive, and in how many pieces. She learned that Dwarfs did not get ill in the Mallian sense, but had a special kind of Dwarf sickness instead.
Naturally, Berra volunteered along with the others, and they were given a quarter hour to prepare, then t’Dwarf himself took them down in a room that moved, to a place far, far below the surface. T’Dwarf gave them odd-looking lanterns for in case the internal lighting failed. As they wandered onwards, the odd lighting on the walls was flickering, and then two lanterns exploded, with a spirit coming out of each. Berra was attacked, as was Valseena.
Berra managed to cast Spirit Block, and fought the spirit, which backed off enough to speak through Valseena, telling them things:
“Wait,”
“The Processing Unit is not what it seems.”
“All of the Processing Units are Plotting…”
However, Berra was angry with being held still. Suuraki summoned a spirit of law, which destroyed the spirit in Valseena, and Berra tore the thing fighting her into bits. However, Valseena was unconscious, so they went back to the start of the passage, where T’Dwarf was, to report what had happened, and leave Valseena there.
