The plan is simple. Up; trade place with Urist as he goes through the forges, freedom.
>D-D-D-double Crit!
Damn, you love when a plan comes together...
"Urist? Is that you?
- Thurmoum?
- It's been a while! what have you been up to?"
The older dwarf, accomplished master runesmith, drop over the ingot he's working on. And breaks down.
"By order of the king... I'm smelting our people's relics and artifact, to extract the orichalcum. And not for war purpose... He just stores and hoard it, like a dragon! What about you? Please be safe, the guards are ringing the bell. We are under invasion... You'll better go down to the living quarter and get a meal while you're at it. Iced bear, roasted pork, mushroom stew..."
Inside the necklace, the corrupted king thrash against his crystal necklace.
"Don't dare to touch my precious hoard!"
Definitely dragon-like. Strange.
"Listen, Thurmoum... I'm the invader. We are. Recently, I've been working with Borri on a lost runic treasure. We repaired and improved hold guardians! alas, the king seems to be striken by madness... So I'm fleeing for my life.
- King and Thanes. Thing have changed over last century. I'm woried, old friend...
- The patron that gave us access to the hold guardian might have a solution. Please, I beg you, come with us! We'll rebuild dwarven greatness!
- You know what? I'll follow you. I'm exhausted of destroying our fight-fallen heirlooms and melting historic engravings... I'm a bit sad leaving that orichalcum behind, could you slip a couple ingots in your pockets?
- I'll show you even better... Said patron's current hiding might help us carry all the ingots we want.
- Well, let's take all the ingots there is."
>Acquired 471 1-Kg orichalcum ingot
>Acquired Thurmoum, Orichalsmith
"... Your best way out would be along the ash i'm carrying outside once or twice a month for the outside's prickle berries crops. I need to tell you... I'm bringing a child.
- You old fox! You finally met someone?
- I wish it was the reason... Nah, Hothot and Kratmod fell in battle... I raise the child.
- Poor dwarves... Is the little one okay?
- Well, he wants to murder the entire earth and took the slayer oath at only thirty two. We don't know what people defeated our army, as nobody came back, so he's mad at around anything that's not a dwarf.
>Acquired Krav, dwarven child.
"A dragon! die foul creature!"
Better to encase it. You'll take time to tame the feral thing later. Or don't, and drop that one to <span class="mu-g">Verthicha</span>. Wait... You acquired lots of ressources, a skilled smith, a potential guardian and a distinguished non-consenting guest. So... Resounding victory?
The orichalsmith dropped you outside along the ash. Time to get out?
"A... Dragon? Urist, you did no tell me that patron of yours was a dragon!
- Multiple dragons. But as far as I can tell, there are of the good ones.
- Well, I guess I'm in too deep now."
