The heist reveals itself to be more than what was initially thought. Kiddnapping… Rescue Mission? Either was not everyone will make it out alive, but those that do will definitely have to fight their way out with what they hope are adequate weapons from the armory.

Escape from a lab, a long dark hallway, disappearing dwarves, a room full of body bags, an armory raid, and approaching footsteps… Believe it or not, all this is the characters starting to put the pieces together.
