Subject  The Ring of Two Cousins


Falcone Hawkeye sat disgruntled inside of his small home in
Palanthas.For
years he had hoped to become an all powerful mage,but it seemed
the obstacles
were endless. It was less than a week ago that he was going to
retire to a
small barn outside of Palanthas...this,however,was prevented by
his Cleric
cousin Suramuniku. She told him she had many visions the previous
night.
Visions of two rings,bonded together by a bond only cousins can
share. She
said she envisioned a mage named Tigsvere. Who she said could
help them obtain
the rings. Falcone wasn't stupid,and saw these rings as his
chance to gain
that power that he dearly sought. He agreed to help look for this
local mage.
They didn't waste any time.The next day they set off through
Palanthas, asking
everybody about the mage named Tigsvere. All the townspeople were
clueless,and
our two heroes were on the verge of giving up when finally a
young shopkeeper
gave them good news. "Tigsvere?I think I may know who you're
talking about.Try
looking around Ruby Way."


Sensing the day coming to an end,they hurried off to check every
house near
Ruby Way. They entered the House of Demilion,and sitting on an
oak chair was a
mage. Falcone immediately sensed this to be the mage they'd been
searching
for.Falcone began to explain their purpose,but was cut off by the
mage. "I
have had dreams of your arrival,"said the mage,"and I know what
you seek.If
you want to obtain these rings you are going to need three magic
items."
"Mage,I beg of you,tell us what we need!"said Suramuniku. "Be
patient,eager
one,and I shall tell all.First off,you're going to need a hammer
in order to
forge these rings of yours." "That's not a problem."said
Suramuniku,"I have
one at home" Tigsvere chuckled. "Not just any hammer.The
Mastercraft Hammer.I
last saw it in the hands of an exhausted dwarf in Caergoth, but
chances are it
has spread outside of the city.Second,you will need certain
blacksmith's
tongs. These can be found in the possession of a pirate,a shark
hunter to be
exact,though his whereabouts are unknown. Lastly,you will need a
magical globe
of Krynn ,which with the rings shall be made. Once you have
obtained these
three things you must find the blacksmith who works under the
waves...he is
the only one skilled enough to forge the rings."
Falcone,unsatisfied with
these vague clues,stepped forward."Certainly you can tell us more
about this
smith...under the waves?Where is that?" The mage grinned
evilly,"That is for
you to find out..."Without another word,the mage disappeared...
The next
morning the two cousins sat down and figured their destination.
The Dwarven
Mines near Caergoth,could hold the dwarf they were looking for.
The journey
was long,and they soon found that it was hardly worth it. The
hammer was in
possession of a dwarf named Gronag,but he wouldn't give it up so
easily. In
return he asked for a baby,for him to feast upon,and only then
would he give
up the hammer. The two heroes set off back to Palanthas in order
to find a
nursery....
