Papa Marmaru Dome and Dwarven Restoration
Summary
Following Bridged’s lead, the party reached the dwarven city around Papa Marmaru’s Dome, where Anya Blakedurn revealed that she was a black dragon and offered her help in exchange for restoring the Dwarven kingdoms and recovering Brutor Ruby Eye. The party repaired the army’s leadership and supplies, restored a hopeless force of more than a thousand dwarves, and fought through the Magstein/Grimcrag conflict, freeing captured dwarves while losing soldiers in the bridge battle. They exposed Merikok’s replacement of the High Priest, trapped and killed Peridita, contained the Noxia ooze that escaped from her wounds, and then used the surviving routes and control systems to return toward Grand Towers.
