from Arandor's diary:
Ah, here we go north again, but this time to the cold stronghold of the dwarves. I liked it much better with the elves, even though only ruins remain of their fortress — at least it was warm there.
I think we'll arrive tomorrow. I've never been to any dwarven dungeons before, so this expedition is of particular interest to me. How many secrets and mysteries might be stored there, not to mention magical artifacts... The main thing is to act quietly, otherwise our dwarf friend might interfere. Even if it's not his clan, all dwarves respect the memory of their kin, and this one is also a priest. You can see from his face that he's worried, and the closer we get, the more anxious his gaze becomes. Oh, if only it were just him — there's also Horus. He fancies himself the leader, makes all the decisions for everyone, and still finds time to lecture. Yesss, quite a bore, but at least he can be relied upon, which is more than I can say for that thief who might stab you in the back. I don't trust her; she's treacherous and cunning, like all women. The only one you need to be careful with
It's almost dark now, time to get some sleep. Oh, something's also wrong with my stomach, probably from that stew that thief cooked... likely laced it with poison, the wretch... ugh

And this is a statue of an elf and a dwarf sitting on a single throne. It was made as a symbol of the alliance between elves and dwarves, but those times are past...

This is the ettins' cave)

Descending further, we found dark elves and orcs\ the former turned out to be quite strong

Still there, it was tough going

After the previous incident, we decided to hold a duel between the warriors

Chell-Pal turned out to be stronger than HE-Ranger, but solely due to the amount of HP and a small advantage in strength)

went lower, met Boulder (was normal once, maybe even human), took down the orc chieftain and claimed one of the six badges needed for the main quest
screenshot №12
this is the negotiation room. We solved the room's puzzle and a staircase opened down
screenshot №13
There we met a ghost and had a chat with it)
screenshot №14
After the conversation, we moved on and fought the undead, looting a couple of sarcophagi
screenshot №15
Then we killed the Head Skeleton-Mage, who kept resurrecting himself and the others[br][/br]
screenshot №16
Then we went even lower, did something there, and returned to the statue-forge, took a key from it, and back down to open the door
screenshot №17
The door was guarded by two brutes, whom we only managed to kill with magic
