Only eight, but it went onto land and THEN went into the river. My dwarves kept walking across this one tile passage to get by the river.

You approach your father, and are about to ask why he is not at work, when you notice his leg; it bears a blood soaked bandage.

You are behind him, he still has not noticed you.

Gruff Voice: No, you were meant to have the merchendise by TODAY!
Hesitant Voice: L-L-Look, the boss is having some trouble with negotiations, our agents has been searched and executed! We're trying to get more, but they jacked up the price!
Gruff Voice: Look, you idiot! Get us the Cuteboldogpraphy by tomorrow, or you and your family are DEAD!

Then again, you could probably carve some Cutebold figurines yourself, and sell them for a good price.

Continue brutally killing the ogre?
