Grymforge stank of rock dust and lamp oil and the sour edge of fear-sweat. Somewhere ahead, past the lines of haulers and the rubble-choked mouth of a collapsed tunnel, a voice was keeping the whole dig moving by sheer force of obscenity.
Put your backs into it, you limp-wristed cave grubs! That rubble doesn't shift, True Soul Nere chokes, and if Nere chokes I will personally feed the slowest of you to a rothé in heat, feet first, and that goes for the novices too!The voice belonged to a duergar woman planted on a rise of broken stone: grey-skinned, built like a keg of nails, a ledger under one arm and a mattock-handle in her fist. Workers scrambled wherever it swung. Then her eye caught you, and everything about her stopped. You could watch the arithmetic run across her face. Not one of the Flameshade lot. Not one of her diggers. Not on the ledger. Which left possibilities, and some of those possibilities outranked her, and one of them might finally be the help she'd been screaming into the dark for. She came down off the rubble at a stump, wiped her free hand on her trousers, and arranged her face into something that had clearly never practiced being polite.
Well now. Wasn't told to expect anyone. Doesn't mean no one was sent. The Absolute's voice doesn't always travel ahead of her hands, eh?A pause, eyes narrowing, searching you for some mark she couldn't quite confirm.
So let's save us both the embarrassment. If you're here from above, speak it plain, and you'll find this site run proper, whatever the mess looks like. Cave-in's not my doing, the wages aren't my doing, and the boots, well. The boots are a separate grievance.She planted the mattock-handle, leaned on it, and waited.
And if you're not sent...The politeness thinned, just slightly, into something with teeth behind it.
Then you'd best have a very good reason for standing on my dig. Either way: who are you, and can you swing a pick?
