Height Differences

As Astra and Fred rest, trying to stave off the feelings of hopelessness that lay over them in the dank cell, a low rumbling begins. Fred notices it first, perking his ears.

"Astra, do you feel that?" But by the time he finishes speaking, the rumble is most certainly audible, coming from the direction opposite the cell door. Little cracks begin to form in the wall and the pair of prisoners duck for cover, as the loud whirring of machinery pushes against the stone.

In no time a giant drill bursts through the wall, the spinning bit perhaps nine feet high. The drill is followed by a vehicle of some sort. And once, within view, a gruff voice says "Hop on, for Nuhr's sake! There's no time."

Astra begins to question him. "What's go--"

"Shove it, tall one." The figure in the bucket seat is obviously dwarven, beard hanging down to obscure various knobs and gear levers on the console. "We've got to be quick about it. Do you want to be tortured? Get on, and I'll take you to..."

1. Velus, who awaits at a mining camp a few leagues down the tunnel.
2. the Dwarven city of Krahlmuhr.
3. the Wizard, or what is left of him.
4. the lair of the smugglers.
