Heljik speaks.

"Perhaps there is truth in your words, Marius."

The evening goes on peacefully, as the council discusses how to change the pantheon after so many years of dedication. It will take a long time, but it can be done.

>Allow the farmers project to continue next year after we stocked up our food storage first to prevent famine.

The plan is set. Food begins to be stored for the next year.

>Research METAL magic and metallurgy in general.

The College gets to work on researching possible magic with metal. The study will take 2 years to finish.

>Put a farmer and a mage on botanic research of useful plant life in the surroundings.

Research is begun, which will take a year to finish.

>Have our warriors host mock battles for entertainment and to keep our population /fit/.

In order to do so, an arena must first be built. Some warriors send in a request for one to be built in order to host these fights.

>EVENT 1
Scouts return from the expedition and report the existence of a growing group of bandits in the north east.

>EVENT 2
The diplomatic delegation has returned, escorting Mirai's leaders into the keep. They include a prince who stands with a regal stance and a young woman dressed as a cleric who accompanies him.

>How will you receive them, and what do you want to accomplish with their visit?

>You have 5 actions for the half year, besides the necessary action needed to be taken above.

>>864048
Action 1: Slay the bandits in the name of the gods!
Action 2: Deal with the prince and cleric for profit and friendship
Action 3: Strike the earth!
Action 4: Chisel a mightly statue for extra culture gains

>30 Goblin Fighters (Armed with knives and small shields. They can sneak)

They are also apparently in the process of building vehicles to carry them around.

>>864183
They should be put to a stop before they could complete their transports, sabotaging might be a good option.

>Slay the bandits in the name of the gods!

Blutig immediately suggests going to war with the growing bandit menace. Most of the council agree, with the exception of Marius. Instead, he suggests first growing their own forces before attacking the bandits head on. In the meantime, sabotage runs could be useful.

>Deal with the prince and cleric for profit and friendship

The visit goes well. The Prince, a man named Androm, is impressed with how the Dwarves have managed to make a life inside the dormant volcano. The Cleric stays silent for the most part, but she seems to have this hint of a smile on her face when she sees the statues the Dwarves erected of their gods, and how all the Dwarves are able to worship together with little conflict.

The Prince offers to increase trade deals with the Dwarves, and offers an alliance on behalf of the Kingdom of Mirai. The Cleric offers to send people of her faith, the Church of the Sea Maiden, to assist the College in its studies.

>If you want to accept the trade deals, then you will need to have a constant supply of minerals and such to trade with Mirai. The pay off is that you will be able to gain tools, weapons, and items that would normally not be available nearby.
>If you want to accept the alliance deal with the Prince, then state three terms of the alliance. These terms must be reasonable.
>If you want to accept the Clerics offer, then you will have an increase in population, as well as an intermingle of faiths.

>Chisel a mighty statue in representation of the Volkanite family spirit

Marius decides to give the guests and the Dwarves a show of their spirit. Standing atop a podium, he breathes in and out deeply. He begins moving his hands, mastering the earth and making it move to his will. The result is a show of stone and magma coming together to create a large statue full of smaller figures. Each figure represents the Dwarves whom left the mountain clans long ago to make their own existence somewhere else. They climb the volcanic stone, picks in one hand and helping their brothers and sisters with the other. None above or below in stature, but helping each other as equals. As a family.

When he is done with constructing the statue, the Prince nods in amusement while the Dwarves smile knowing that they have not failed their ancestors in sticking together as a clan.

>Have a feast, you can never have too much feast
A Feast is held in honour of the visiting guests. However it seems people have eaten more than was necessarily put on the table. The Prince and Cleric enjoy themselves none the less. They leave by the next day.


>EVENT 1:
The College sends a letter to the council. They have made a break through in their studies on earth magic. ([Earth 2] Becomes [Earth 3])

>EVENT 2:
A few days after the royal guests have left, an ominous rumble occurs in the Volcano. No one was hurt, but many are wondering if something has happened. Did they anger the gods? Did the guests do something while they were here? Or......Is something waking up?


>Choose how you want to deal with the bandit menace that is growing in the north.
>After that, you have 5 actions independent of the deals.

>>864475
>Choose how you want to deal with the bandit menace that is growing in the north.
Placing traps on the areas closest for them to get the biggest quantity of materials on, so when they go they loose troops and we slow their process down until building a formidable force.

>Actions:
1. Build that Arena that was requested before, sounds like a good plan.
2. Try to explore where the rumble came from, is the volcano going active again? Make sure it's not coming from the Unexplored Ancestral Keep, that'd probably be bad.
3. In case it indeed is coming from them, preppare an exploration force equipped for both stealth and defense.
4. Make sure that the guests leave with a small souvenir, it never hurts to have Allies.
5. Congratulate the College higher-ups, make sure morale stays high.

I require an answer for what you wish to do with the deals that were offered.

>>864884
Accept the trade deals and the offering of an Alliance, Assure both him and the cleric that their people would be more than welcome here anytime, and that they will be treated with respect both as individuals as well as their religious believes. But urge them to not try to mess with the dwarven faith, gods be easy to anger/offend and all that.

>>864898
What are the three demands you propose for the alliance? I mean stuff like military help whenever either are at war or so on. Make them reasonable.

>>864006
Is this by the person who did the Cyclopes civilization quest?

>>864926
Nope. Why do you ask?

>>864806
This.

>>864925
Let's go with a propped drawn out border first.
Second is a criminal extradition treaty.
Third is a military alliance to deal with Orc and Goblin infestations.

>Build that Arena that was requested before, sounds like a good plan.

The request is approved, and the dwarves get to work on the arena.

>Make sure that the guests leave with a small souvenir, it never hurts to have Allies.

Unfortunately, the guests have left the previous turn. The gift, jewelry made from some of the rarest stones in the volcano, is sent as a gift through the trade trail. (-1 resources)

>Congratulate the College higher-ups, make sure morale stays high.

Congratulations are given, and the college returns the thanks through presenting notes on their expansion of fire magic. (Attunement [Fire 2] becomes [Fire 3]) (Lava attunement can now be advanced)

>Try to explore where the rumble came from, is the volcano going active again? Make sure it's not coming from the Unexplored Ancestral Keep, that would probably be bad.
>In case it indeed is coming from them, prepare an exploration force equipped for both stealth and defense.

The Council meets. The recent rumble and stir in the population has caused concern for the state of the mountain. Phil remarks on how the volcano could not possibly be returning to activity, as the low amount of obsidian shows. Dan fears that something might have awakened from the ancestral home deep within, coming to claim them all. The priests sorrow in the fact that the gods have not given them any answers through communion. They all voiced concern for what the rumble could have meant

Marius stayed silent. As if he awaited something.......

Suddenly, two Dwarves burst through the keep's doors. Its the expedition to the keep. What little remains of it, at least.

They hurry to the council, and spoke the sentence that confirmed Dan's fears.

There is a Dragon deep within their ancient home, and it has awoken. It is larger than the ancestral keep itself, with wings that they claim could blot out the sun. The fear in their eyes and the scorch wounds on their bodies validate the reality of it all.

The council takes this news in silence. For a long moment, they remain silent as their minds process what this all means. For their history, for their people, for the volcano, and for the existence of the clan...

Blutig spoke first.

"Lets kill the damn thing, then."

>>864898
>>866114

The terms are set, and tie Clan Volkanite and the Kingdom of Mirai together in a formal alliance.

>Placing traps on the areas closest for them to get the biggest quantity of materials on, so when they go they loose troops and we slow their process down until building a formidable force.

The plan is set, and the scouts are sent out to deal with the growing menace in the north. They will return in a year with a report of progress.

--------------

>A colossal dragon now infests your ancestral home. You will have to find a way to deal with the beast, if you are ever to reclaim that territory. You must also choose whether to inform the populace of this information, or keep it secret until the dragon is dealt with.

>The Farmers complete storage of 16 food. Botanic research now begins, meaning that there will be no food created for the next 3 years. The stored food will provide for the next 2 years, meaning a years worth of food will have to come from trade. If minor hunger strikes at any time during this period, the Dwarves may begin to starve.

>You have 5 actions.

>>875590
>Action 1
Take the all of our builders and have them focus on making war machines ranging from the golems too lava cannons
>Action 2
Have the college work with some of our warriors to give their most physically gifted mages some weapon and battle training
>Action 3
Have each of the head priest,along with their most zealous warriors and priest, pray for divine intervention or some type of blessing from each of the gods
>Action 4
send a party of diplomats to see if the prince will help us
>action 5
Have some of our warriors do drills on fighting large beast so that we have some type of advantage over the dragon

>>875688

>>875590
Send a diplomat to speak with the dragon... Maybe it's up for negotiations?
