Utterly Mad

((Slade did show up, though he seems rather hung over and his advisor rather agitated))

An old and battle scarred Dwarf stood, motioning for the two men that accompanied him to sit still and let him get himself to his feet. Haralus knew this man, raised to the rank of noble for his service in the Dwarven military, his name was Durrin Ironhold. He was one of the few nobles who seemed to have a distaste for the politics that the other nobles played. "I have need to address his Highness concerning a member of my family, well several if I am to be honest. One of my children over heard something last night that got some idiotic idea into him that he should gather men loyal to him, which included several of his brothers, and then go into the catacombs before your expedition." He cast a brief and rather angry look towards Slade for a moment before returning his eyes to Haralus "I doubt any of them will survive, much less do anything of substance while they do live, but I felt that your Highness should be made aware of their idiocy."

With that Durrin returned himself to his seat, briefly shaking his head as he did so. All of the others gathered remain silent, waiting for Haralus.
