A dwarven woman

Through the keyhole you're able to spy a round dwarven woman. She's bent over in front of some bronze machine, using a box of tools to remove cogs and other mechanical parts and placing them in a leather satchel by her side.

Her body is plump and full, and she's wearing a a hooded cloak and leather pants. Her copper colored hair is intricately braided and her face is stern but kind.

You hear a sound behind you and turn to see Murdoc struggling to suppress a sneeze. But before Glaw can clamp his hand over the smaller goblins mouth to stifle the sound, Murdoc sneezes audibly.

The dwarven woman hastily grabs her crossbow from the floor, points it at the door and says, "Who's there?"

"We mean you know harm!" You reply, pleadingly.

"Open the door slowly." The dwarf demands.

You push the iron door open and it gives a rusty creak.

The dwarven woman looks over you inquisitively.

"What is a human woman doing traveling with a bunch of goblins? You don't seem like a ****." She asks.

"Glaw, Murdoc, and Dai are my friends. They're helping me get to the Dragons Spine. We are just trying to pass through these tunnels to avoid traveling through the deep mire."

"How do I know you aren't trying to kill me?"

You place a hand on Glaw's shoulder and whisper:

"Give her your weapons. We have to show her we mean no harm. Trust me."

Glaw is hesitant but he tosses his club to the dwarven woman and nods to the smaller goblins for them to do the same.

The dwarven woman considers this for a long time. She finally says:

"Alright, I'll trust you for now. I'll keep your weapons with me. We need to leave before anything finds us, I've stayed here long enough as it is. I'll bring you back to Undertown. It's a dwarven village in the tunnels, not far from here. From there I can give you directions on how to get out of the tunnels and past the deep mire. Deal?"
