Incidentally, is Dorgan interested in wielding the axe? Would it be one-handed or two-handed for Dorgan, WOTE?

Dorgan would have the same difficulty with it as Desmond/Mondes. It's a two-hander.

He's welcome to it, if he wants. Just has to ask...

Olaf finds himself alone in the great hall; the sisters apparently letting themselves out during the night. He feels revived, certainly, but not to his full strength (he is restored to veteran status -- 2nd level -- and I have rerolled his hit points).

Olaf stretches and wonders for a few moments if it was a dream...all those women hovering over him, chanting and murmuring...then with a shake of the head he remembers what happened and laughs. Why, he feels so much better this morning, almost his old self again...almost.

"And boy am I hungry!" the young warrior says as he scratches at the mostly healed wound on his side.

Bennug's staff put on a hot breakfast of porridge and honey, toast and jams, with tea and coffee, and everyone eats heartily in preparation for exploring the cellars.

While Olaf eats enough for two he asks the others gathered around the table, "So, what's up for today? Something about an old Abbey we had to clear wasn't it?"

"Ah! Good to see you back in some sort of presentable shape", he observes as Olaf enters somewhat gingerly.
"I trust the Sisters ministrations were...restorative?", he adds with a grin.

"And good morning to you too Gustave!" Olaf says between mouthfuls, "I don't remember much about it, just lots of chanting..." he pauses for a moment thinking, "...and smells."

Not waiting for a reply, he stands and, with some distaste, shoulders his 'temporary' shield. Licking the last crumbs from his (shapely) fingertips, he looks around at all assembled and, raising a brow, says "Right then, something about a wine cellar was it?"

"Huh? What" Olaf asks surprised, "What about a wine cellar?"

The dwarf noticed that Desmond purchased a couple of shields while they were traveling about town together and, should the halfling appear without his Cold Iron Axe, Dorgan will ask him why he's decided to make the switch.

Olaf watches the Dwarf curiously as he continues to tuck into the breakfast, "You're armed for bear this morning Dorgan. Are we heading back to the crypts or heading out for the Abbey?"

Dorgan asks the halfling for a favor.

"Desmond, if ya ain't gotta problem with it, I wouldn't mind takin' that axe with me. It's fine quality, to be sure, and I got a habit of losin' shields. If'n mine breaks again, I like the idea of a bigger axe in me hands, rather'n that letter opener I, uh, found."

The dwarf quickly adds, "Mind you, it's still yours. I wanna borrow it, is all. Just ask and it's back in yer hands."

Dorgan smiles back at Olaf.

"Armed fer giant centipede, let's hope."
