Good King Finellen has tasked you with a quest to travel to the Outlands.  There, somewhere in the depths of the Dwarven Mountain, a cure for the mysterious ailment stoneblood is said to reside, at least according to his court seer.  Your people's numbers in Highhome have been dwindling for centuries, and should you fail, it could be the end of the once great stronghold.

No pressure though.  You guys got this!

Tone:  Light-hearted and fun despite the seriousness of the quest.  You're dwarves afterall!  You can't help but be brazenly flippant in the face of overwhelming odds, tragic fate, and almost certain doom.  Plus the beermakers of the Dwarven Mountain are legendary!  That might even make the trip more worth it than saving your people.
