'Player, you stand before me accused of the murder of Grímyr of Durin's Folk. My guard discovered you standing over his body, weapon in hand! You would already be clapped in irons if they had not also found this....'
He pulls a small object from a pouch and shows it to you: a small, perfectly round stone, darker than the deepest cave, blacker than night. As you look into it, something within the stone pulls at your mind, bidding you to look deeper. This stone is known to you. Thorin quickly puts it back into the pouch.
'Indeed. This is the Secret Stone. I had ordered it to be moved from its place and hidden once more, but Grímyr must have discovered its location and stolen it away. You are a hero of Durin's Folk, Player, and in my eyes you are innocent of any wrong-doing; do we not know how this stone can affect the mind? But it is clear to me now that the stone cannot be kept safely in Erebor.'0/1
