The Crystal Shard
“They had come prepared for war, some carrying heavy packs and others shouldering the great weight of large wooden beams.The drow's guess about which direction the reinforcements would be coming from seemed the only possible way, and Bruenor knew exactly where to meet them. There was only one pass that afforded easy access down into the rocky valley: Daledrop, up on the level of the tundra yet below the southern slopes of the mountain.Though they had marched without rest throughout half of the n...ight and most of the morning, the dwarves set right to work. They had no idea what time the giants would be coming in, though it probably wouldn't happen under the light of day; they wanted to make certain that everything was ready.

Under Bruenor's direction, the remainder of the clan prepared the area for an ambush.MoreLess
