    Event Roll 93

    You where looking at the sight in front of you with disbelief, not truly understanding what had happened; slowly you turned your head towards the responsible for the strange event and, after a sigh of exasperation, asked "Just once one more time, could you explain step to step what has happened here?", the excited beardling quickly started to speak about his finding. After having listened to the story for the fifth time you could still not believe it; "So, what happened is that you and your friends, who in the future, want to join the rangers, decided that in order to impress the longbeards had to go and climb the mountain, in order to map the surroundings from the best point of view in the area, only for you to discover that the top of the mountain is caved in; and that in the caldera there is a lake of warm waters, and that in the centre of the lake there is an island in which rest a strange lump of rock. Lump of rock that the herein Dolgi, your friend and a miner's son, say is almost certainly a meteorite... Have I got all right?" the young dawi replied with a voice full of happiness "Yes my Thane". Your only answer is to start grumbling like a living ancestor; making the beardlings flee for your presence.

    Later that night, in front of the council Thane Grunni Stonebrow expose his finding "The lads were right, there is a meteorite in the caldera, me and the eldest miners have examined it and we have come to various conclusion, first thing; there is no Warpstone nor Gromril in it" at this news your heart calmed a bit; while the absence of Gromril was sad the lack of Warpstone meant that the presence of Thaggoraki was slim, "A surface examination revealed that the meteorite is almost completely composed by a strange type of iron, but further studies must be done in order to understand exactly what it is.

    You have discovered that the top of your mountain is a caldera, there lies a lake of warm waters that doesn't freeze during winter, also you have find a medium amount of meteoric iron

    So my plan has us keeping everyone calm for diplo actions.
    For military I went with the cheapest options as we don't have lots of wood/tools.
    Stewardship I'm sending out sniffers to find iron or any metal for that matter and a tool maker, we are currently at -6 tools per turn and most options consumes tools as well, so getting more tools is important!
    For intrigue I again chose the cheapest options, explore and hunting.
    Lead a project ourselves to get a clan residence for the miners, I bet they are going to start acting a little Suntouched if they don't get underground soon.
    For training I'd like it if we could hammer down stewardship till it is complete and then move on to the next training.
