Opening scene

The wagon wheel creaks on its third revolution before Brakkur Stonereach speaks. "You're quieter than the last sword I hired," the dwarf rumbles, not unkindly. His beard is forked, iron-banded, and stained at the tips with the rust-orange dust of the deep mines. He sits cross-legged on a crate of mining picks at the back of the wagon, oiling a hand-axe with slow, practiced motions. "Suits me. Last one talked enough for three men. Got a goblin arrow in his throat outside Ashvale, before he could finish a single song." The wagon rolls on through the pines. Ahead, the road curves around a low ridge of grey stone. The afternoon light is thinning. You can smell the changing air of the high country — pine resin, cold water, woodsmoke from somewhere distant. Brakkur jerks his chin at the road ahead. "Aldwick's another half-day. Get the supplies to the trading post, get my brother and me his payment, and you're done. Easy coin." He pauses, then adds, quieter: "Mara — my brother's wife — said something queer in her last letter. Said the mountain's been *singing* at night again. Hadn't done that since before the empire fell. She said Borric's been going out to listen to it." He looks at you sidelong, and for a moment the joke has fallen out of his voice. "Probably nothing. Probably the wind in the old shafts. Probably." Up ahead, where the road bends behind the ridge, something *cracks* — a single dry sound, like a stepped twig amplified by the silence around it. The horses falter. Brakkur's hand is already on the axe. "Down," he says. What do you do?
