I have suggestions, but I need a map I can work with more easily.

Meh, I only wanted to make the beard shorter. No real reason.

dragonshardz: I don't know, but you're not getting it anyway, so why are you asking?

No need to be an arse, it was a rhetorical question.

CoughDrop, you do realize that the map is most likely not full-scale? And why are we digging down into sand when we have a perfectly serviceable cliff face to dig into? Whoops, nevermind, momentary reversal of the colors.

Also, Begin surveying the area for the best place to begin digging, keeping in mind future defensive structures.

Apologies, was AFK. Just assume I did what was necessary to keep peace in the group

Gar: "How do you make sure you don't ruin the rock - or the ore - that you're mining?"

"Well, that be th'trick'f't. Ye 'ave tae 'ave a feel fer the stone. 'Course, knowin' what raw ore and useful stone looks like is handy, and large chunks of stone're always more useful than bits."

I'll shave my beard with whatever sort of shaving implement is available to me. I'll also give the goblin corpse to whoever wants it. Excluding Shem.

And what use would I have for a goblin corpse if I had any reason to want it?

We are of the same caste.

To Shem: "Do you think you could help me with learning how to properly mine? As a broker, I won't have too much use once we first get to our destination, so I figure I'd help with the digging."

Gar: now on the wagon, will strike up conversations with those who have been familiarising themselves with mining. He seems to have gained a sudden interest, and would like to know what they managed to learn.

"Diggin' isnae tha' hard. You have th' rock face in front of ye an' a pick in yer hands, like so. Ye swing th' pick and catch the stone, shattering't. Ye remove th'shattered stone and repeat 'til ye've dug as far as need be. An' as fer nae bein' o' much use, keep in mind tha' withou' a broker, we'd be forced t' accept whae'er deal we c'd ge' fro' caravans."

Converse with Shem about his reasons for joining the embark.

"Reasons? I didnae exactly choose tae get sent on this trip, tho' I'm nae complainin'. I've been assigned as th' military liaison b'tween th' Mount'nhome and th' Warhold o' Icy Winds. Th' brass figure I'm bes' suited tae't because o' me experience as a siege engineer. After all, ye send a thief to catch a thief. 'Tis the same princ'ple here."

After this, make a recommendation to Litast that Tholtig be punished by being forced to live as a sufacer for a period no shorter than one year.

Support this idea fully, with a hand on my pick and a grim visage on my face.

"What the?! Who are you?!"

Pick myself up and help the dwarfette up.

"My apologies - it seemed to be the only way to get your attention. I am Shem Kilrudtabar, and I assume you are Litast Cattenakgos? I have been sent to act as military liaison to the Warhold of Icy Winds."

Ask at the temple if a group of...mentally count for a moment...ten dwarves passed through recently.

Edit the raws for the dwarves.

Check the wiki, search for that. Many things will be explained to you.
