Oddly enough we're still labeled as a Town...not a Barony

Well that could have gone alot worse for me

Go grab the notebook Luke discarded and look through it to see if I can discover why it was locked in a bank vault

11th Felsite

It took little time for the Masons to notice the group moving along the road towards them. The news was passed on and soon Fireheart was at the gates with Newb, Barbarossa and Sir Nil behind him.

It took only a few moments for the arrivals to reach the new walls. As most of the group paused to gaze in wonder at the buildings they could see on the other side of the walls 4 Dwarves came forward.

"This is the fortress of Flamebanner?" Asked 1 of the Dwarves as they halted before Fireheart's group. "It is." Fireheart replied.

"I am Baroness Medtob Ringtemple." Said the Baroness as she stepped forward and gestured to the Dwarves behind her. "My Consort Tekkud Bluntpages, Tax Collector Rith Lancertributes and Hammerer Endok Cloutedslings."

"It seems we were expected." Tekkud said as he joined his wife. "They already have a mansion all built for us."

"Actually that is not yours Baron. That is the home of the Mansionbrimmed family." Fireheart said. "You will have rooms near the Dining Hall but for now you can stay in the temporary quarters with the rest of the immigrants."

"Sleep...in the same room as a bunch of lowborn civilians?" Medtob said, horrified by the very thought.

"Only for a few days until your rooms are mined out. You've traveled with these Dwarves already so a bit more contact won't do anything." Fireheart reassured the Baroness.

"Fine." She said, managing to keep her displeasure from causing a scene.

"Now thats sorted allow me to introcue you to the heads of Flamebanner." Fireheart said with a smile.

"Sir Nil is my Deputy and 1 of our Senior Warriors, Newb is Mayor and Trademaster while Barbarossa is our Head Engraver, Architect and Scribe."

He paused as several fat drops of rain hit the ground. "Why don't we continue our discussions below in my office?" Fireheart said. "Make sure you give your name and profession to Barbarossa before you enter." he continued as he walked back  owardthe fortress with the others following.

Also we now have 103 Dwarves which if the wiki is still correct means that Megabeasts may start showing up.

Nearly every Dwarf in Flamebanner was caught up in the rush that swept over the fortress.

The kitchens and stills were cleaned out and once more brought forth wonderous culinary delights that quickly vanished when the Apprentices took a break from their training in the Barracks.

Sarek and his Smiths spent much of their time in the Forge, bending the blood of Armok to their will as they crafted new weapons and armor for the Warriors while Crafters cut bolts from the multitude of bone that the Undead had so gladly left behind.

On the surface War Wolves made themselves useful hauling loads of Felsite out to the many sites where Masons under the direction of Orwen and Korgan worked dilligently to expand the walls that protected the surface buildings with the aid of the Carpenters.

Even the Miners were busy as Fireheart led them in the digging of tunnels connecting all of the buildings as well as the transformation of the chasm into a base capable of holding back any Undead that appeared on the Northern or Eastern borders until Warriors could arrive.

Even before the fort was built the Undead would have to be wary of the traps that now dotted the territory, waiting for an invader to activate them and be caught in a cage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seriously this is the most activity we've had in years. Almost every guild is doing something now and I'm actually going to create a Miner's Guild...Fireheart won't be our only Miner now!

Also we have 3 Undead in cages. Anyone have a preference on what their fate should be?

Changing my Action then 

Look for some good body armor and a shield

See if assuming an empowered form makes it any easier to mimic their powers by shifting into the form of The Thing and trying to manifest his powers.
