Chapter 2

A giant crystaline statue is before you and appears to be grown from the very
ground at your feet. The crystaline pillar resembles a clenched fist and has
the appearance of a fiery translucent ruby. The craftsmanship is incredible,
and could have been made by some of the finest dwarven stonemasons. Each
finger of the fist is perfectly faceted with the utmost care given to detail.
Through the translucence of the ruby, you can see inside what resembles a
a tiny stony man. The inner figure appears to be made of solid granite, and
it makes you wonder how such a figure has been carved inside this massive
gem. The figure is kneeling with his head bowed, and a palm placed on the
earth at his feet. The other hand seemlessly clenches an axe of polished
black obsidian - which looks quite sharp and deadly, even encased in the ruby
gem around it. A large bulbous head is perched upon the figures shoulders
gem around it. A large bulbous head is perched upon the figures shoulders
and seems disproportionate to the body beneath it. A large round nose also
seems a bit out of place in comparison to the other features of the figures
face. Two eyes of black stone seems small when perched above the mass of his
nose, and his face seems to be composed in a state of perfect contemplation.
Although obviously cut from stone, his strangely shaped body - large arms and
huge hands dangle from a relatively tiny torso, seem a bit odd. Short and
stout legs support the work of stone. Silvery veins can be seen running
over the surface of the armor covering the statue - yet you can detect no
marks from chisels or picks upon the entire work anywhere. There are no seams
between armor and body, or gem and stone. The whole work is quite marvelous
to look upon, and must have been created without tools or any kind, or by a
very talented stoneworker.

A small runic inscription at the bottom reads "Stonefist" by Grembolin Stonefist.
