The Shadow Dwarves
Suddenly it appeared, this bright and burning wall of light, and eyes long accustomed to the dark of the warrens below the tower register the sudden brightness as burning with a terrible heat. As one they come to a sudden stop. Weapons are dropped as hands are pressed to burning eyes. Not only are their eyes made blind, but their skin, the little of it that is exposed, becomes uncomfortably warm with this light.......

The kid’s been blinded. But that’s probably a good thing. ~ he smiles to himself ~ Keep him outta trouble for a bit at least. “He’ll be OK,” he says to the warrior, “probably get his sight back in a couple hours.” At the mention of the book, a genuine excitement dispels his fatigue for a moment. “Yes! The book...... But a deals a deal, I still need to show you what I know about that sword of yours.”
Things are looking up. Just a matter of getting everybody out.......
Of course, a guy doesn’t expect a stabbing at a time like this. “Just like a dame,” he mutters.
