Brave Dwarves: Creeping Shadows

The wizard Fafnir and his brother, the warrior Thorvald, had finally retired after all their adventures. The old dwarven mines had fallen silent, so they moved to live in a river valley somewhere in Scandinavia. Yet the peaceful life of venomous‑spider breeders turned out to be unbearably dull, and soon they received a visit from a goblin named Sly Baptiste Lumière Maria Skinflint — or simply Sly. His boss was having a birthday, and Sly had decided to buy him a star as a gift — but the only place it could be seen from was this very valley. Luckily, the brothers still had a telescope lying around. But instead of a star, they noticed that their friend, the dwarf Vahur, had been kidnapped by some sort of amphibians. The dwarves had long since misplaced all their weapons, so Sly offered to help them — for a modest fee, of course. After taking the weapons he provided, the brothers set off toward the amphibians’ fortress. Having smashed their offenders to pieces, they saw Vahur being carried away in a hot‑air balloon.
