Tomio, I'm sad to see you leave. do try to hurry back so that if your dwarf is killed in game, you'll have an explanationI'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with you, Terrahex. I actually think it's possibly more due to other things, either:
Many people seem to be leaving Spearbreakers. I'm starting to get the sense that all the other authors don't want to be around me.

Take a swig of sewer brew, head for the hospital
Ask the nearest dwarf which barrel houses the best tasting booze and drink straight from the barrel6) you grab a random skulker dwarf and demand to know the whereabouts of the finest ale in the booze stockpile. the skulker shyly points at the furthest barrels from the door. you throw the skulker to the ground and skip merrily along to the designated barrels. you find that they are in bleached white barrels with prominent red Xs on them, probably to keep the lesser dwarves from drinking from them.
Find a well and get water for Luthian. Then search for a hospital.3) you set Luthian down on a bench outside the office, intending to return with something for him to drink while also looking for the hospital. you start down the stairs and soon find yourself lost. when you finally find your way back to the staircase, you find Luthian gone.
"Stay out of trouble. I'm going to get you help."
"This place is just too big to be real... I'm gonna need directions."2) you start asking around for gloves, but no one seems willing to talk to you. is it the fact that you're a snowpriest, you wonder, or that you're a halfling? you frown at the injustice of it, but there's not much you can do.
Ask a random passerby where I can find gloves, and follow his directions.
Move around slowly looking for a fletcher or smith, if I discover one ask him to repair by bow so I can kill more enemies of the dwarfs1) you call out to Idem as he walks away, but he doesn't hear you. You have no plans of sitting idle in this new, exciting fortress. you want to explore, to get a new job in this fortress of opertunity, but first things come first. you need to fix your bow. You're reluctant to replace it. it's had a long journey and you spent a lot of money on it.
"I'll behave I'm just gonna find somebody to fix my bow. Thank you for your help."
Prominent... prominent... That's about everyone... but meMake yourself prominent then.
wonder why the GM rolled to see if I could walk. If I had been drinking a lot, maybe...

You... you mean that you've never had or know the beauty of a cat sandwhich?5) After crying a bit when Fischer tells you that their are no cats in this fortress, dead or otherwise, you decide you need a deep, deep drink. You go off in search of the booze stockpile and find yourself in the dining room. mugs upon mugs upon mugs sit on the tables and dwarves bustle about, always adding more mugs to the piles of mugs that are on each table. No one seems to be taking mugs away though. two doors lead off from the dining room on the far end. You pick the one that has a barrel on the front.
Cry as I nurse my broken heart. Search for the booze stockpile
Go inside.1) you walk inside the fortress and immediately get taken by a large surge of dwarves all heading in one direction. you try to fight the surge, but find that you're taken by them all. you're pushed, shoved, and manipulated, surrounded by what seems like a hundred dwarves. finally, you reach the stairs unexpectedly and you tumble off the first step and go rolling down the spiral staircase. Finally you come to a stop at a landing and you groan, rubbing your sore head. -30 HP !!!Slight Bleeding!!!
"So this is the famed Spearbreakers. I wonder if they've got a spare pair of gloves; this sword's making my hands numb."3) you enter spearbreakers, but you're overwhealmed by the size of the place. you're not sure where to begin searching.
Enter the fortress and search for a pair of gloves.
I got you Luthian.5) you haul Luthian to his feet, scolding him for running off. "You can't go running off like that. We're Elves among dwarves! we have to be careful!" His reply is slurred. You sigh, helping him into the entryway of Spearbreakers. you find Wropest staring slackjawed at his surroundings and snap your finger in his face. he doesn't respond.
Let Luthian lean on me, blood loss ain't pretty.
Don't run off again, we aren't in the forest retreats where trees will help you. Plus the few that are here are telling me to fuck off.
"Thank you brother, maybe while we are here we can do something about the forests."N/a) (After Idem's turn.) "Thank you, Idem. you've always been like a brother to me." you say, slurring your words slightly from the concusion of the bolt. "I may need medical attention for this item stuck in my head."
Lean on Idem and head to the fortress.
"I wonder whats caused the forest to become so dark, surely it can not be just the dwarfs."
