I sit to gather thoughts together. So much time passed since I felt such emotions, I even started to forget how it's like. I used to think there is nothing that can drive me mad - it was the first, the smallest illusion that was broken today.
After my teacher's defeat I was thinking a lot about what to do next to avoid his mistakes. Instead of changing the world to my will I decided to fit into it, to act according the natural flow of events. That's why I wasn't very willing to participate that venture with the mountain home. But back then I saw only two possible outcomes: either failure when the rouge is captured and our secret dies with him or total success. I had to cover other options and decline but I couldn't. And my decision led to destruction of whole moutain home without any profit to myself. Even master would have called that violence pointless. And the worst is that my criteria of natural stoped working. What should've I done: pass those dwarves, don't succumb to temptation and be glad of three new zombies? But what is the result of my choice now? Anyway if I did other choise I wouldn't have to listen to that mind controlling stick bullshit.
That moment I winced: the ghost was still under the ritual influence and that means he told me just what he saw even if it sounds absolutely unbelievable.

>be crazy and say if he discredited the girl he has to marry her as a gentledwarf. On all objections about being already married say that by the highest decree you give him a right to take second wife in that circumstances. May them give birth to more smiths and warriors in the glory of wise king Likot and dwarven fortress.
>take Tok's smoking pipe and shake the coals out into the hay so that waking up would be more active.

So much tempting ideas came to your mind. Each was better then other, it was so hard to choose one. After several seconds of thinking you decided to stand on the position of morality and family values and sent Tok for Lolor the wizards spouce. After all he was guilty that you've spent half of a year in the prison, so now he owes you.

The spouce was found quickly and arrived just in the moment the cought with his pants down woke up. It was obvious that Nasod hadn't anything to blame but the situation was discreditable and no excuses can deny naked dick of another's husband behind her back.

Dear friends, here comes some glorious news! Authors gathered into mastermind and mystreious construction! They are making point-n-click adventure based on the story!
Here, check the video! There're russian commentaries and few pieces of voicing but it's still gotta be interesting even for all the readers who don't speak russian.
UPD: my bad, should have checked previous messages!

- Ah you..- Lolor squined.
- I can explain everything! - Bembul jumped up covering his groin.
Nasod was apparently surprized with someone's presense behind and shuddered when saw him:
- Lolor, that's not you think about!
- There is nothing to think about - she rolled up her sleeves.
- I'm nothing to do with it, listen...
- Oh, I don't have any problems with you, Nasod - her fingers clenched into fists - I do have some with this old asshole. Come here!
- Honey...
Lolor jumped on husband and started to rip his hair and hit him everywhere. Apparently her anger was caused not for the first time. Obviously she caught her spouse before in similar circumstances. She drove him away thought the corridor with punches and kicks.
Nasod was sitting at a loss and you with Tok were watching the scene. Your royal ego was pleased.

"It was fun but the work is calling". You decided to leave the fighters alone and went to your office with Tok.
You jot down a list of matters requiring royal interference (or noninterference):
1) you need t wright and send the letter to Kisat
2) if she liked the idea with tonnels you should organize the excavations
3) you kinda promised evetyone in the fishers village to get rid of the bandit in gratitude
4) Tok said something about the blasted bridge and entrace to the Shorast's adamantium mine. May be we should do something with misterious demoman.
5) Tok's family is still in Arol-Iton and we should resettle them here.
6) Ivety completely nagged me to visit her mother...I mean father. May be we should go to the Muiya's grove to see your father in law or send a caravan

Tok hints you that while being a King you shouldn't do things personally and delegate some of it to someone else. For example "Mister Fernokzam", mentioned earlier this morning, suits this task most considering he successfully worked as a viceregent while you were away. He also can do it now.
You sent for Sinsot and he arrived soon.
- I have job for you - you started immediately - First we need to start tunneling towards the Mountain Home Arol-Iton.
- The one under the human town Ladthakomage? - Sinsot started to write tasks down.
- Correct. Designate a point at the middle where diggers from both sides meet.
- Very well. Is something else you want?
- Send a military squad to the fisher village north-east. I promised them to help to get rid of the bandit Akkar Baktur. A King must keep his word.
- Of course but there is one problem. A mercenary squad encamped in our inner yard, we've invited them to fight against goblins threat. Their scouts were spotted at dangerous distance from the fortress.
Suddenly Bucketotil jumped in:
- May be we should wait with bandit? We could use spare warriors here.
- Don't fret, engraver - Sinsot winked - we organized our defence much better then our predecessor.
- We are still too few in counts!
- And what you suggest?
- Don't shift your work on me!
While those two were fighting you submerged into writing a message for Queen Vellokum.
"Dear Kisat! Thank you for sending Bucketotil, I missed him. His family is still in Arol-Iton. It would be nice to arrange their reunion in Akrulaban. I've ordered to tunnel towards you. Let your miners dig at my direction. There is a bridge over a river right between us, we can connect the tonnels under it. We'll build rails and Tok's family will arrive in a minecart!"
You look aside:
- Who will deliver the letter?
Sinsot interrupted his arguing with Tok:
- We have an ambassador. It's Shasad Volanunol she've already been to Arol-Iton.
- All right send her - you seal the scroll with the stamp and give it to Fernokzam - The defence is more important. Akkar Baktur will wait. I'm moving out to the dimplomatic journey with Queen Ivety. You are in charge during my absence.
Sinsot bowed and went to execute the tasks. Tok was still strung up:
- I don't like him! He is kinda nasty.
- Noone is perfect. But he is responsible and can rule people. All right, go pack your stuff.
- Where are we going?
- To the elven grove. You are going with us. On your way there we'll try to gather information about your explosions.
- If so then sure. May be we can visit Arol-Iton during the trip?
- It would be strange if I'll deliver my letter to Kisat personally.
- You're right... - Tok scratched his chump.
- Your family will be delivered throught the tonnel.
- I'll go pack myself.

>Make goose another champion
>make him spy on Sinsot
>order to make a battle train. Armored one, with arrows on sides and ballista on top.
First things first you decide to make The Goose a new champion of the fortress and attach it to Sinsot as a observer. Only you and The Goose knew about this secret role, for more secrecy. Then you make a mandate to create an armored minecart with arrows on sides and ballista on the roof. It should defend miners from underground surprizes during tonneling and railway building.

> request for Libash: cling to the leaving King until he take you we him to the joyage
> let's take lama, the goose and Urdim with us

Next you order to find Urdim Stagrumat and go outside to the Queen's Ivety tent. Libash cling to you in the corridor. If she is not satisfied with the night we spent? Or may be she just doesn't want to stay with goose alone after all things happened? It's unclear who did the most licentiousness that night. All right, you decide to take Libash with you.
- Honey... - you start, beveling on lama, but she was ok with it - Ivety, I'm going to accept your offer the visit your father's grove.
- Really? That's amazing! Thank you so much!
- We'll go light as a diplomatic mission. I'll take Buketotil, Urdim... and Libash with us - you tousled lama's wool.
- Oh, are you going to ride on prancing lama?
- Emm... yeah. Wanna take someone?
- For a company? I guess not, I'm ok with those we have now.
- Then pack things up, we're leaving soon.
- Are we going on foot or on a wagon?

So the royal wagon left the Akrulaban.

Meanwhile, in the lair near the fish village, the locally famous bandit named Akkar Baktur finished butchering a boy. The kid misstepped on a mountain path, fall down and broke his legs and neck. There is no such thing as redundant meat so you had to drag the whining snoteater into the cave. The taste was as good as as any other meat and you weren't willing to think about morality in the situation of constant famine. With each bite of roasted shin the bandit hear the voices in his head more and more distinctly. That's something new... They were telling what to do, arguing with each other, spoke about some beach...
