Episode 2: Into the Greyspine Mines

The party has been hired (by their friend Arcanist Allura Vysoren in the city of Emon) to head towards the dwarven town of Kraghammer (as a good friend of hers, and one of the members of the Council of Taldorei) has gone missing. This being a halfling paladin named Lady Kima of Vord, who was on a vision quest as part of a pilgrimmage and was drawn towards some dark evil she said was manifesting somewhere deep beneath Kraghammer and hadn't been heard from since. So the party was sent there to seek her.
Upon arriving in Kraghammer, shenanigans ensued. Made some friends, made some enemies, wandered the town. Brother-sisters walked around as if they were married. Bears almost got into fights in rings. Eventually the party made their way towards the bottom ring of Kraghammer proper.
Talking to Lord Nostoc Greyspine (who is the head of the Greyspine mines at the bottom of Kraghammer where supposedly this paladin disappeared to). After the conversation a bunch of goblins and ogres began to spring from the mines and attack the workers. The party swooped down to aid, realized that the goblins weren't attacking, they were fleeing from something else (which is emerging from within the mines proper), some strange naga-based hydra-ish abomination. The party proceeded to slaughter it.
As all of you are still riding the adrenaline of the battle, Scanlan feeling the tingling in his fingers as the little bolts of arcane energy spartkle throughout. The rest of the nearby workers and miners slowly converge and begin to walk up to the party.

"That was great!"
"Well done!"
"That was fantastic!"
"Where'd you learn that?"
A few moments of this progress before a sudden hush comes over the crowd, and you see about five or six Carvers (the guards of Kraghammer) pull their way through with Lord Nostoc Greyspine himself stepping through. He looks at the rest of the group and goes,
"All right, so you've certainly proved yourselves in battle."
