Month 4, Year 2:
Keep - We roll a 62 and everything is fine (There is a 2 in three chance nothing happens each month). 4 more work weeks roll off and…just 10 more weeks left!
Dominion – Same as before - Bergholm is +20% growth, and the others just +5% each as Spring continues
Alzar has begun communication with the small elf-hold next to his land, and then, a small group of dwarves from an unknown dwarf-hold in the Ljallenvals arrive with a problem. A few weeks ago, some extremely large versions of creatures (called Gargantuas) broke into their lair, and then were unable to be forced back out again, due to the lack of many magical weapons among the dwarves. They have come to Alzar for aid, since he cleaned out the giants a few months ago.
They offer one of two payments – 100,000 gp in verite ingots for cleaning out their small home, or a “pledge of call” that would require them to assemble their forces, one time, to fight whomever Alzar tells them to, for 3 months. (Verite is a greenish metal, slighter harder than the alloy steel, and more malleable).
This dwarfhold, named Hammerhelm, is apparently the only dwarfhold in the mountain range, and it’s actually right next door to Evenarrow.
In particular, these creatures have taken the forge of power that is sacred to their clan, so Alzar needs to head in, and take them out, and free their stuff. Alzar decides to go with the “pledge of call” in case he wins.
This underground mining operation apparently holds slightly more than 2000 dwarves, and he didn’t even know!
