Trying To Escape

Erend stepped forward, placing a reassuring hand on Adrius's shoulder.

"It's alright," he said with calm voice. "At least we didn't alarm any of the dwarves. The forging process can continue without interruption."

Billy nodded, his expression serious but understanding. "We did what we could. We managed to prevent immediate sabotage, and that's a win in itself."

"And we learned something important. We know there's a threat, and we can take steps to counter it," Adrien added.

"The impostor mentioned something crucial. We need to discuss it and decide our next move carefully," Saeldir said.

Adrius, still frustrated but composed, nodded in agreement. "Let's talk about what he said."

The group moved to a quieter area where they could converse without the noise of the forge in the background. Erend, Adrien, Billy, Saeldir, and Adrius formed a tight circle, their expressions serious and contemplative.
