Legend
You explain yourself and the dwarves nod. Then one of them gets an idea.
"Hey, perhaps he can help us out."
"WHAT? Let an outsider know about a sacred burial place? 'ave ye gone daft man?"
"Well you just said we can't go back, and I'm damn sure not throwing my life away by going back in there, so why don't we ask him if he can get it? He's an adventurer and all, his type do this sort of thing all the time!"
"Uh excuse me, but I'm right here! What am I suppose to be doing?" you ask.
"Oh nothing major lad, just retrieving an ancient warhammer from some tombs."
"Doesn't sound simple, from what I heard of your previous conversation."
"Heh heh! Well yer right about that, I can explain in more detail if yer interested."
When you mention you are, the dwarf who wants you to help says his name is Dagrok, the other is Grarak.
"I don't think this is a good idea Dagrok."
"Eh, he looks trustworthy enough, and if he isn't then we'll just be 'avin' his guts for garters! Right? Hahahahahahahaha!" Dagrok laughs, causing you to laugh nervously.
"Okay 'ere's the situation lad. The king sent some of us down here to fetch some ancient warhammer he wants for some sort of ceremony. Normally dwarven tombs aren't disturbed, but this is special circumstances and it is the king, so it's okay. This burial site is a very old one, its not even used anymore, in fact I don't even think its even been entered since the last king was buried here and that was over 1000 years ago. This was supposed to be just a simple retrieval. Now its common practice to leave some sort of guardian to protect the tombs from possible defilers. We dwarves particularly like to use golems, and we keep track of the command words just in case we ever need to get in there and the things don't attack us."
"But?" you ask.
"But, for some reason the damn golem in there has gone completely rogue, and the command words aren't working. Worse still, it's not a regular golem. Apparently the designer was one of those that felt the need to stray from Dwarf regulations! Reminds me of something you humans would come up with; you're always recklessly fiddling with new ideas and destroying half the bloody land in the process!"
"So if it's that powerful, what makes you think I can destroy it?"
"Well the last attack we did damaged it pretty good, but it also damaged us pretty good as well. We couldn't possibly go back in there right away and survive. But the problem is, the blasted thing has some sort of self-repairing ability. By the time we get halfway better, that thing will be up to its full strength again. We couldn't even beat it with eight warriors at full strength, what chance would two of us have now? It needs to be attacked right now, by someone who hasn't been through the meat grinder. So you going to help?"
"Hey, perhaps he can help us out."
