The title of this one tells you everything you need to know! This is the story of sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong. Did the Boss and her pals agree that some things are "Better Left Alone?" Duh! No need to answer that -- we all know the boss is the biggest butt-in-ski in Dirt City!

This time it was the Wolves who asked the group to nose around, and it sure is hard to say no to them. Probably they expected a total party kill, to get the group out of Wolf hair. The Wolves were running an illegal mine in the north, but the mine had gone silent. Supposedly, the Wolves wanted the party to find out what was going on. Just find out and report back, and that's all! Hah!

So with provisions newly bought, the group headed north out of Dirt City. They fought ghouls on an old battlefield, and found a couple dwarves headed back to Dirt City. These were miners -- Harlv and Bram -- and they said the mine was haunted by a cursed ore, and eight other dwarves were trapped.

Well, the news from Harvl told the party all they needed to know to report back, but did the Boss and her happy-hearted friends return, mission accomplished? Noooo! They just had to press on, risk the curse, and rescue the dwarves! Ten million things could have gone wrong, but trusting to dumb luck, they set out anyway. Ugh! Anyhow, here's a map showing the way.

Sure enough, Devlin got possessed, crazed dwarfs attacked the group, and it all ended badly. The group was lucky to get out alive. They did manage to seal the mine, so they had that going for them. And they "rescued" one more dwarf, named Kurk. Here's a map showing the camp, before the group collapsed the mine and torched the buildings.

So instead of just looking around, like they were supposed to, the group went on a rescue, poked their noses in, got scared, and tore the place down. Lucky for the Boss, the Wolves had bigger fish to fry when the group got back, so it worked out, more or less.

See, the Prince heard somehow about the illegal mine. His men were waiting for the party at the city limits. So the group spilled the beans and told everything they knew. After the party ratted out the Wolves, the Prince called the Alpha Wolf for public punishment -- a public whipping that the Alpha's right hand guy took in the Alpha's place.

Now here's where the Boss's dumb luck kicks in again! Even though they were total stool pigeons, the Wolves were not pissed off at the group, or anyway, not so's you could tell. They even paid off the fee they had promised the group. The Boss still likes the Wolves and even wears that Wolf ring they gave her, but I think its crazy! Some night, I expect, someone hired by the Wolves is going to try to teach the Boss a lesson about overstepping your orders and blabbing to the Prince! Gosh Darn It! The End.
