The Dying Slaver's Last Words

Greet Dying
The slaver spits up blood, and backs away fearfully. Bawling like a child, he says:

"Please don't kill me! I'll tell you anything you want! Did the dark-elves send you to punish me for failing to bring in enough slaves? Spare me!"

Ask dying slaves
"Of course slaves, what do you think slavers do? No, don't hit me! I'll tell you anything you need to know. The dark-elves have asked us to capture a huge amount of slaves for some covert undertaking. We don't even know what they're for, they keep everyone in the dark as to their plans."

Ask slaver dark-elves
"A few weeks back, a dark-elf suddenly appeared at our keep. He said that his Queen required a large number of slaves of diverse races for use in some sort of project. Something in his tone said that we didn't have much choice in the matter, but we didn't care anyway as he had a massive bag of gold for just hearing him out. At first supplying the demand was easy-- there are always weak and unwary fools ripe for picking. But their demand didn't decrease, and lately it has been harder and harder to find people to take."

Ask slaver keep
The bleeding slaver looks around furtively, and hurriedly whispers:

"Our keep is cleverly concealed in the Dragon's Teeth hills. What better place to hide a fort than in the hills themselves! Anyone climbing them gets ripped to shreds on their knifelike crags, and no-one can see it as it's nestled up out of sight. Even navigating in the Dragon's Teeth is a nasty proposition, what with its mazelike paths and all the hostile creatures."

Noticing your impatience, he quickly continues:

"Here are the directions to the keep. You follow the road through the Dragon's Teeth west of Silvermere until you hit the fork with the sign. Take the south fork and follow it south and west until it starts to turn to the southeast. DON'T go southeast. Follow the path there to the south and wast. Don't follow any paths that turn east. The path will go south, then west and north, curving up like a U. Eventually there will be another junction of paths, where one keeps going north and one turns to the southwest. Follow that one for a little while until it meets another path going to the southwest. At that junction, hold up this talisman and the secret entrance will be revealed to you."

He holds out an amber disk, and his long speech done, he draws bck fearfully.
