They head out. There is a tunnel across from the stairs, and it has a section of the cellar that looks like a newer tunneling job. They arrive at they first room, and a group of three Svartálfar are in the room. They are about 4 feet tall, very dark grey skin, bald heads, but lots of facial hair, they have big, upturned noses, and a pleasant, open face that makes you want to tell them everything.
Alzar greets them and sits at their table at their request. They send one away, who comes back in a minute with a Svartálfar wizard. The wizard casts a spell, and now they can each understand each others languages. They talk. Alzar mentions that he cleaned out their lair and they are very happy they can return. They haven’t been there in months. Alzar mentions that they are searching for The Sentinel, and some guzaks told him the Svartálfar might know where it is, and one nods. They beckon for Alzar and his group to follow. They pass through several rooms taken over by the Svartálfar.
They arrive at a back chamber, with a lot of debris in it. There is an aged creature Alzar does not even recognize, but the Svartálfar tells him it was once evil, put on The Sentinel, and now the conflict between the two has driven it mad. As the party enters, the creature reaches out the hand with The Sentinel and it speaks to Estaish and tells him to take the glove. Alzar is a little upset, but nods him on. You can’t choose an artifact, it chooses you. Estaish takes The Sentinel from the creatures hand and puts it on.
