+** ''(Successful):'' “Hardy but graceful - a fine crossbow. Made by Sharran hands, if my teachings keep true.”

-==== [[Grymforge]] ====
+'''Exploring the [[Grymforge#Abandoned_Temple|Sharran city]]:'''
+* ''(Found the traces of [[Thulla|Thulla’s]] escape, [[Perception]] check):''
+** ''(Successful):'' “Foot tracks? Someone left their mark.”
+** ''(Failed):'' “The ground is scuffed. It might be worth checking.”
+** ''(Interacting with chains or bloodied arrows, [[Survival]] check):''
+** ''(Successful):'' “Small footprints and discarded shackles. A gnome prisoner fled from here.”
+** ''(Failed):'' “Such a mess. What happened here, I can't fathom.”
+* ''(Respond to Harper’s watchword from [[Undelivered Letter]], History check):'' “'Lux'. Light. Casting the right spell on the chest should get us in.”
+** ''(Failed):'' “''Chk.'' Those words mean nothing to me.”
+* ''(Approaching the location of the [[Harper Stash]]):'' “This must be where the Harper's stockpile is hidden. I should look around.”

+* ''(Saw [[Mimic|false chests]], [[Investigation]] check):''
+** ''(Successful):'' “Either the Harpers are terrible at hiding their stashes - or this is a trap.”
+** ''(Failed):'' “Must be in one of these chests, then. Or all of them, should we be lucky.”
+* ''(Entered a banquet hall, [[Religion]] check):''
+** ''(Successful):'' “Shar worshippers left these rotting ritual dregs behind. Why slow the senses with food and drink before a killing? Pointless.”
+** ''(Successful 2):'' “The rotting ritual dregs of a Nightfall feast - a decadent display.”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “Shar worshippers did this. Why slow the senses with food and drink before a killing? Pointless.”
+** ''(Failed):'' “What manner of fiend holds a feast in a place like this?”
+* ''(Found a loose stone at {{coords|-600|422}} through [[Perception]] check):'' “A loose stone? Someone's secret stash has been found out.”
+* ''(Found a place where [[Philomeen]] climbed up the ledge, knows about her escape):'' “A thick rope, good for climbing. The escaped gnome must have climbed up here.”
+** ''(Does not know about her):'' “Tools and a rope - someone climbed up here. Enterprising duergar? Gnome on the run?”
+* ''(Found a [[Devilfoil Mask]]):'' “Odd. What manner of mask is this?”
+** ''(Arcana check successful):'' “The mask was a merregon's - an infernal warrior.
+** ''(Failed):'' “I've never encountered such a thing, even in wildspace.”
+** ''(Arcana check successful, knows about merregons’ habits):'' “Hmm - a merregon's, most likely. An infernal battle was fought here. But what of the commander?”
+** ''(Doubts whether the merregons’ commander is dead):'' “I suppose the merregons' master returned to the Hells. Unless...”
+* ''(Tried to put on the mask):'' “An unusual metal. Too heavy to wear comfortably.”
+** ''(Found a second mask):'' “A mask. Just like the others.”
+** ''(Found the third mask (?)):'' “My teachings say nothing of them. They could be meaningless trinkets.”
+* ''(Found the [[Idol of Shar]], the party knows Shadowheart is a Sharran):'' “This idol bears the Dark Lady's likeness. Shadowheart might be interested.”
+** ''(The party does not know):'' “This idol bears Shar's likeness. A detailed rendering of a trivial goddess.”
+* ''(Found a bunch of rusty weapons):'' “Useless. Time has ravaged these weapons well beyond repair.” ''(triggers only for the first time interacting with those)''
+* ''(Interacted with the [[Orb of Darkvision]]):'' “A great darkness stirs in me. In Vlaakith's name, what is this?”
+* ''(Read [[Abandoned Journal]]):'' “''Chk.'' Better to face a hellbeast than to leave a record of your own cowardice.” ''(triggers after finding at least one Devilfoil Mask)''
+* ''(Stepped on a platform held by chains):'' “Small steps - this thing is all but rusted through.”
+'''In the [[Adamantine Forge]]:'''
+* ''(Coming closer to the Adamantine forge):'' “Scorching heat, flows of lava. The forge must be near.”
+* ''(Saw the forge for the first time):'' “An impressive device. I didn't think istik were so capable.”
+** ''(Saw the forge for the first time 2):'' “The adamantine forge. Impressive - I didn't think istik were so capable.”
+* ''(Filled the crucible with [[Mithral Ore]]):'' “The crucible's full.”
+* ''(Interacting with mould chamber, has at least one [[Mould]]):'' “There's an opening in the device - a perfect match for that mould.”
+** ''(Doesn’t have any moulds):'' “There's an opening here. For this forge to work, I'll need a mould.”
+** ''(Filled only crucible, hasn’t any moulds):'' “Materials placed. But something's still missing.”
+** ''(Filled only crucible):'' “The mithral is ready. Time to insert the mould.”
+** ''(Placed only mould):'' “Mould inserted. But the forge is useless without the proper ore.”
+** ''(Filled and placed both, seeking how to activate):'' “Everything appears to be in order. Time to start up the forge.”
+* ''(The platform moves down after activating):'' “There we are. A short descent, but no less dramatic for it.”
+* ''(Trying to forge without lava):'' “The forging is not complete. What else is required?”
+** ''(If has already crafted one piece):'' “There can be no forging without a flame. The lava.”
+* ''(Forged the first item, [[Grym]] appears):'' “Right from the flames. By Vlaakith, I will be your end!”
+* ''(Fighting Grym, the forge hammer doesn’t damage it):'' “The hammer's done ''nothing''? ''Tsk'va'' - there must be a way!”
+** ''(Successfully damaged Grym with the hammer):'' “There it is - a perfect strike!”
+* ''([[Magma Mephit]]s appear during the fight):'' “Mephits. Send them back to the Hells!”
+* ''(Defeated Grym):'' “''Vlaakith tavki na'zin.'' Conquest is mine!”
+* ''(Approaching lava lake, [[Nature]] check):''
+** ''(Successful):'' “Lava doesn't flare up like that for no reason. Something's amiss here.”
+** ''(Failed):'' “I should tread carefully. No telling when the lava might erupt.”
+* ''(Saw [[Lava Elemental]], Arcana check):''
+** ''(Successful):'' “What have we here? The cause of the lake's disturbances, surely.”
+** ''(Failed):'' “By Vlaakith, that is no mere fire elemental - it drips with ''lava''.”
