Morguerat 87/105
As the doors to the clan meeting hall close Morguerat explains the reason for their journey, explaining all he knows of the forces at work, the mysterious, Euryale rune engraven upon the weapons of the patrol leaders, the uniforms the grimlocks wear, the shadowhounds serving the Grimlocks (mentioned because I'm not sure if it's a normal occurance), and ultimatly leading up to the rescue of the gnomes and the discovery of the slain dragon, and smashed eggs, and the darkened stone that had been quarried from the dragons lair (along with the careless looting, and how many valuables had been left behind, as though the real treasure was not the magical artifacts, or hard coin but something else, taken for unseen reasons).
As he concludes his tale of ill portents he shows the gnomes some of the teeth he harvested, as well as the claws. "I know the dragon fought for a noble cause, and forfeit it's life as a result, I desire to allow part of it to continue the fight, these claws were severly damaged in it's battle, and I would like to have them strengthened so they could be affixed to a lance, to this end I require a coating of metal to be placed upon it, I would prefer the rare metal, Mithril, but I am realistic and know you probably would be unable to provide it, an alloy of silver and the finest steel would be fine, but my needs require a rare craftsmanship, a level of which would allow the weapons to be later enchanted. I have very little in the way of money, but hope the service of returning your countrymen will help cover the costs, I also have some skill with the forge, and will be happy to aid the smith in whatever way I can."
