Hand Grenade

A dragonshard mining operation in Q’Barra came to our attention after the assassination I was framed for in Aundair. Working under a pseudonym we connect this mining operation to the bombing an assassination, I sign up hoping for some payback against these damn mercenaries who have been a thorn in the accord keepers’ side for too long. Ascending the mountain toward the mine was relatively uneventful, until an undead hand attempts to strangle Baldwin in his sleep. The next day we arrive at the mine entrance to find soldiers from “Red Sun Security Solutions.” I distract them with legal blathering while me teammates sneak in, I follow them once the coast is clear.

Inside the mine, we find piles of corpses from dead child miners from the time before this place was closed. It seems though that a new crop of laborers have taken up working in this place. We search the immediate passages around us and find large troves of dragonshards and a bomb several orders of magnitude more powerful than the one used in Aundair. We converse and decide that this mine must be shut down permanently. We arm the bomb and attempt our getaway, overhearing one of the mercenary leaders “Mystral.” Her undead hands try to stop us but we push through and race down the mountain veiled by a stinking cloud. The explosion lights up the night brighter than any city lights and a massive sphere of hands flies down the mountain directed our way. Mystral protected herself with her zombie hands and we defeat her in a short battle with myself lancing her head with my fancy Cannith plasma rifle. We fall from exhaustion and find her body missing the following morning. We return home via airship triumphant.
