The Lost City of Nuyah Part 4

The Lost City of Nuyah
The voices of the dead become more frantic and more frequent as a person enters the temple.  They beg to be released.  As the party remains in the temple a dark shadow fills the cave and a loud, rumbling voice asks, "Who dare disturbs the dead?"

For the GM this shadow is a red dragon, large enough to fill a good portion of the cavern.  He came in to the cavern as a dwarf, (or what ever humanoid would blend in best with the people working in the cavern), and wants to know what the people here now are doing to the resting place of his friends.  He was content to let people explore until the temple is breached.

The dragon's name is Fornoon.  He had befriended the former leader of the dwarves when they were both young and came to adopt the small settlement as his own.  He was devastated by the death of all his friends, but does not know how to release their souls, for he was never good with magic.  If a character says he may know of a way to do so, Fornoon is all ears.

The way to release their souls is up to the GM.  A priest of Taniger sanctifying the temple once more would do so, but if you want the group to go on a quest to find some magic item, feel free.  Once the dwarves' spirits are freed, the dragon will reward the group with tokens of his esteem.  If there is a dwarf in the party, he will ask the dwarf if he wishes to reestablish the small settlement for mining.
