Involvement

Act One

Kur can be found speaking with  Brithvar at Grymforge. She seems to be his lieutenant.

Stone Guard Kur is a loyal member of the Clan Flameshade. Should the party conspire with Brithvar against  Nere, she joins them against the drow and duergar cultists.

Combat

Kur is predetermined to end the first turn of battle by retreating to the edge of a nearby lava pool, upon which  Dalthar prioritises dashing and shoving her in over all other actions.

If Dalthar is killed or blocked from pushing Kur into the lava, the remaining hostile cultists take that on as their main priority in a set order, starting with  Greymon.

Idle banter

• Stone Guard Kur

  So say your chum blows Nere out of there. What then?

  • Elder Brithvar

    Then I'll stick Nere up, down, and sideways 'til he's more hole than flesh.

    • Elder Brithvar

      We take his gold. And I got more in mind, if shit goes down smooth.

• Stone Guard Kur

  Let the poison choke Nere and be done with it, I say.

  • Elder Brithvar

    All that rock-thumping and pud-pounding wrecked your mind-brain?

    • Elder Brithvar

      Dead or alive, we ain't get our coin 'til Nere's dug out.

      • Elder Brithvar

        Besides - I'd like to force-feed him some of that shit he's stirred up.

• Stone Guard Kur

  So say your chum blows Nere out of there. What then?

  • Stone Guard Kur

    You sure we can trust 'em?

    • Elder Brithvar

      Shit - 'course I ain't sure. I ain't even trust you most days.

      • Elder Brithvar

        But we got nothin' to lose. It all goes to plan, and our arses get paid.

        • Elder Brithvar

          If it goes belly-up? We got a scapegoat. It's Nere's game to lose.

• Elder Brithvar

  The gnome bolted. Saw it myself. Thrinn still ain't caught a whiff of her - slaves are paying the price.

  • Elder Brithvar

    Those pricks'll get nowhere with just axes. Thrinn's gone touched in the head.

    • Stone Guard Kur

      That's the cult's doing. Dunnol's joined up too.

      • Stone Guard Kur

        Drugh. The cult-pricks are spreading like flies on shit.

• Stone Guard Kur

  See where the gnome sapper went?

  • Elder Brithvar

    Thrinn ain't found a trace. Found a way past the rockfall, is my guess.

    • Stone Guard Kur

      Skarjall still at it, then?

      • Elder Brithvar

        Prick ain't stopped caning those beasts, last I saw. And he still ain't broke through.
