Frau and Fuhrung stood on the landing at the base of the huge sword monument on Tiefes Loch, watching as the dwarves approached. All of Tiefes Loch was anxious to see if the dwarves would return with the necromancer.

Grizzle and Grundel walked toward the base of Tiefes Loch with the necromancer between them. Kraft walked at Grizzle Stoneheart’s right. The others followed behind. The dwarves who had ridden with them had taken the cart and horses, and now they walked up to the bottom of the steps. The mountain was covered with dwarves. Grizzle stared up at the menacing face of Tiefes Loch. Evermount was much larger, but the sheer faces and jagged edges made this mountain look much more dangerous. Evermount was a magnificent sight, but Tiefes Loch was forbidding. Grizzle couldn’t help but think that if they couldn’t stop Bergmann, the mountain would be much more ominous.

Two dwarf soldiers waited at the base of the steps. As the two dwarf kings and the dwarf prince approached, the dwarves brought their fists to their chests in salute. They followed the dwarf guards going up the stairs in two columns. At the landing, they met with Frau and Fuhrung. Fuhrung brought his fist to his chest. Grizzle saluted back, but watched Frau’s eyes, which went to Grizzle, scanning him for injuries. He could see the struggle going on in her mind. She wanted to throw her arms around him, but she was restrained by protocol. She was a dwarf queen and had to maintain her composure.

Kraft must have seen it as well, because he quickly sped things along. “Queen Frau, why don’t you take us to the King’s Hall and let us know what has happened since we left Tiefes Loch?”

Frau nodded to the king of Haufen and made her way up the steps to the entrance of Tiefes Loch. Fuhrung allowed the rest of them to follow her before falling in behind Jerrie and Crissy.

The dwarves of Tiefes Loch cheered as the necromancer who would stop the Phantom of King Bergmann made his way into the kingdom. The cheers of dwarves followed them through the mountain as they made their way toward the king’s hall.
