==== [[Grymforge]] ====
'''At the [[Clan Flameshade]] [[Grymforge#Duergar_encampment|camp]]:'''
* ''(Arriving at the Grymforge):'' “Fascinating architecture. Doesn't match the style of any Underdark civilisation that I know of.” (also serves as a Responding remark)
* ''(Met a [[Scrying Eye]]):'' “That's a scrying eye. Someone's monitoring the place.”

** ''(Did not recognize the symbol):'' “Someone sought to deface Shar it seems, though not with a symbol I recognise.”
* ''(If [[Nere]] died in the cave-in):'' “Nere must be long dead by now. I suppose that makes it slightly more palatable to sever his head from his body.”

** ''(Successful):'' “Left out in plain sight? I'd rate the Harpers too smart for that.”
** ''(Failed):'' “Seek, and I shall find.”
* ''(Entered a banquet hall, [[Religion]] check):''
** ''(Successful):'' “I suspect many a Sharran was present at this blighted Nightfall feast. An evening of merriment before the real prize - murder.”
** ''(Successful 2):'' “An eerily chilling scene, this. I suspect many were present at this blighted Nightfall feast.”
** ''(Responding remark):'' “Food and drink, followed by murder in Shar's name. Barbaric.”

** ''(Arcana check successful):'' “It belonged to a merregon. Infernal soldiers.”
** ''(Failed):'' “Oh well, a minor mystery it must remain.”
** ''(Arcana check successful, knows about merregons’ habits):'' “This place was rife with merregons. And they never travel without a commander...”
** ''(Doubts whether the merregons’ commander is dead):'' “Merely merregons, however. Their commander might still be at large.”
* ''(Tried to put on the mask):'' “It's heavier than I thought. Must have been strong creatures that wore them.”
** ''(Found a second mask):'' “It's mask after mask in here.”
** ''(Found the third mask (?)):'' “They unsettle somehow - as if they harbour a lingering presence.”
* ''(Found the [[Idol of Shar]], the party knows [[Shadowheart]] is a Sharran):'' “This icon bears Shar's likeness. No doubt Shadowheart will be interested in it.”

* ''(Interacting with mould chamber, has at least one [[Mould]]):'' “There's an aperture in the metal's surface. Perfect fit for that mould, if I'm not mistaken.”
** ''(Doesn’t have any moulds):'' “There's an aperture in the metal's surface. For a mould, I imagine...”
** ''(Filled only crucible, hasn’t any moulds):'' “The forge is not budging quite yet. I must be overlooking something.”
** ''(Filled only crucible):'' “Wonderful. All that's missing now is the mould.”
** ''(Placed only mould):'' “A perfect fit. Now to feed the forge with the right materials.”
** ''(Filled and placed both, seeking how to activate):'' “The forge is ready. Let the games begin.”
* ''(The platform moves down after activating):'' “And so we descend into... more madness presumably.”
* ''(Trying to forge without lava):'' “The forge is not working as it should. I must be missing some crucial ingredient.”

* ''(Approaching lava lake, [[Nature]] check):''
** ''(Successful):'' “Something... unnatural is causing this lake to simmer and boil.”
** ''(Failed):'' “That lava lake boils like a good stew. Lovely.”
* ''(Noticed [[Lava Elemental]], Arcana check):''
** ''(Successful):'' “No wonder this lava lake is churning. It is one with the elemental inside.”
** ''(Failed):'' “A heart and soul of molten fire... That is a lava elemental!”
