Question, since we picked demigryph knights as our not dawi help, shouldn't be like, try to get their numbers up relatively soonish? Demigryphs would shit on any mount the seven kingdoms have and would be a potent symbol of prestige and power.
The only problem with demigryphs for us I think is the fact that dwarfs are well, short, so unless we figure out a way to get dwarfs saddled up on the demigryphs we'll have to leave that to the umgi.

Despite all of your duties you found time, each day for one hour in the morning, to placate the dispute that had risen among your clan. So you sat in an ornate chair, carved from a great oak found in the valley, and dispensed justice to those in need; while you where a relatively good diplomat that faithful day you where sure that a great grudge was about to be called. A Elder of the Stonebrow was out for blood in regard of one of your engineers; and you knew that you had to allow him to repay the offense received in blood, most probably starting a feud between the two's families. A feud with the Hold not yet officially founded could destroy all of your efforts and dreams; but before you were forced to sentence your kin to death Dorin came forward and spoke to the enraged Elder, and despite your knowledge in ruleship you barely managed to understood what they were speaking about; something about precedent and stale beer. In the end the grudge was not called and the Elder, strangely thankful of you, gifted to your person is most prized possession, an entire barrel of Bugman's XXXXX, you are not ashamed to say that you wept by the joy; a few days later Grunni Stonebrow personally expressed his happiness for your decision to chose as an advisor Dorin Gromund.
Action Successful. Gained a barrel of Bugman's XXXXX that give you a one-time reroll or a +20 to a chosen action or a+50 to a personal action regarding interacting with other dawi. Gain a +1 Hold Stability
[X]Placate the Thanes: For various reason you have refused the Thanes of the Stonebrow and the Ironshield a position in your council; and they are justly offended by such decision. Better to find a way to calm them or otherwise they may oppose your decision or even leave the Hold. CoS 40% 1 Turn
Rolled 1+17+10=28
At the end of the first month of the year you organized a meeting with the other Thanes in order to explain your decision to exclude them from the council; and the meeting started quickly with the wrong foot, while Grunni was not pleased with his exclusion he understood why and didn't take it personally, so this problem was averted. But Sven was enraged by your decision; the screamed, he grumbled and finally he threatened to take his clan and leave the hold. When he said that you started screaming in his face that he was mad at even thinking about that, you where in uncharted lands and he wanted to take his clan and leave; thus leaving both of you vulnerable to the dangers that could surround you. Thankfully Grunni managed to calm you down for a few minutes, minutes that you used to sworn a oath to Sven, you would found him a position of influence in the Hold and help his clan to settle; or you will take the Slayer Oath.
Action Failed.-2 Hold Stability, you have sworn to give Sven Ironshield a position of prestige and influence in the Hold and you have to spent at least an Action in the next turn to help his clan. If you fail you will take up the Slayer Oath; and because you have no heir the Quest will end
[X]Establish outposts in the valley: While your rangers have not found any sign of foes around you they could be hiding themselves, in order to prevent them to arrive unnoticed you gave the order to build a series of outpost around the future Hold; even if they are manned only by a few dawi they will be useful to notice enemy movement.

Rolled 55+18=73
At the start of the year you send out a portion of the throng, divided in group of twenty strong they march across the valley; there, in points previously chosen, they make camp and start to build a small shelter from which they can fire on approaching enemy. During the rest of the year those position are reinforced with logs, and path cut through the forest to unite them in a defensive ring.
Action Successful. Now if an enemy force make is way toward your Hold you have a first line of defence.
[X]Create a training field: Currently you lack a place where to train your warriors; both for keeping their skills sharp, and for training new regiment; the creation of this place would be a start towards a truly dawi military infrastructure. CoS 70% 2 Turns
Rolled 11+18=29
The idea to built a training field is well received both among your throng and the member of clan Ironshield; but the tension raising with their Thane have stopped the work before they could begin. Even if you, in the end, managed to convince Sven to work with you again most of the year had already passed so while you have managed to find the location you will have to wait the next year for the project to start.

did the dwarves mistake a population of asoiaf giants for trolls?
Thank you for the update!
So that nat1 has us loosing 2 actions next turn?
1 To get their Elder a prestigious job
The other 1 one to help their clan(probably a clan residence)
As for the tools we went from -6 per turn to -4 per turn, we will need to upgrade the toolmaker or build more of them.
Clad we got coal,iron and silver. I'd like to start making steel asap.

Well fuck that diplo roll sucked
Giants in the mountains ? Arent they all in the far north ?
Okay what exactly do we do now? We need to give the guy a high ranking position else we become a slayer and essentially end the quest so that's no good. Hmm, perhaps exploring the newly found ore veins and continuing to smooth things out in the hold?
On the other hand I'd like to expand out army because fuck trusting the humans, @Orsocinghiale, do we have any concrete numbers for our military forces?

I'd put that as unlikely, simply because giants are too tall to be trolls, and are far to 'humanlike' (pink and fleshy) compared to trolls (leathery, green, rocky, slimy, warty). Though they would think that ASOIAF giants look very wierd (essentially being dwarven giants, squat looking [by comparison] and shorter than their WF counterparts).
Though these could be a native form of troll. Essentially akin to grunkles and snarks; driven to extinction in most of westeros by human/CoTF/Giant hunting.
I say drive the trolls away we could use a consistent familiar forge resource

Summer
With the coming of the new year you found yourself in a difficult position, the oath you swore hang over your head like a boulder; and while many of the elder of your clan are saying that you made a mistake you know that this was the only way to appease Sven Ironshield. Fortunately you are roused from your grumbling by Drong, who enter in your tent with the full might of his authority as an elder, "My Thane, I bring news" he say with calm voice; "What is it, have the Troll started moving?" "No Thane, my rangers have found a herd of goats in a nearby valley; we have been following them and for now they seems to be happy to graze in it, but for how long we do not know" "Good, finally a good news, anything else?" "The leader of the Umgi is coming to speak to you, he doesn't seem happy" "Ah" is your simple answer, another headache for you; a few moments later, with Drong at your side, you receive the commander of the Dawongr. Ser Gottfried Heinrich Von Pappenheim is a imposing figure, standing over six and a half feet, with a neck like that of a bull and arms the width of a normal man thighs, he is as always covered by his armour, proudly carrying his panther pelt draped over his shoulder. "Thane Frostbeard, may I speak to you?" he say with his thundering voice; despite your mood you answer with joy in your voice, after all this man and his fellow knights saved both your life and those of your clan, "Ser Gottfried come, come, would you like a tankard of ale?" "How I could refuse" he replied, then he proceeded to drain the tankard in a couple of gulp; the after having put it down he looked you in the eyes and said "Thane, I have a complaint to make" "Tell me and I will do anything in my power to help you" "While we don't mind sleeping in tents and living in the wilderness, my knights and me need a place to properly worship Ulric and the other gods, also our mounts need a stable to be taken care in the appropriate way. So I have come to ask your help in building a small Chapter House in this far away land". You pondered your response for a few moments before replaying.
What is your replay?
[]Help them build a small Chapter House: You will help them build a small Chapter House, composed by a small temple, a barrack and a stable, all surrounded by walls
[]Build them a small Keep: Instead you could build them a small Keep, built as the previous option but with a fortified tower in the centre
[]Build them a Castle: A good choice would be to build a Castle, four great tower at the corners and tall walls surrounding a donjon
[]Build them a Citadel: Only the best for the Dawongr; a massive complex of towers and walls, with artillery position and iron portcullises, and a great moat surrounding all
Notice that for both the Castle and the Citadel you will first build a momentary place to house the knights

The Forces of the Hold
The Throng
1 Dawi Lord Gotrek Frostbeard
The leaders of a Dwarf throng are its Lord and Thanes. These are the most powerful fighters in the army, fell-handed warriors equipped with the finest arms and armour of the Clan's weapon hoard. As a rule, Dwarf Lords and Thanes are a grim sort, for they are leaders of a dour people. Upon their broad shoulders is carried the weight of untold debt - the inherited grudges of a long-suffering and unforgiving race. It is their lot to avenge all wrongdoing to their Clan, Hold or race, not just in the present, but also for all time. Failure to redress an injury from antiquity is particularly galling, an act of disrespect to the much-revered ancestors. While Dwarfs are notably an infantry force, there are a few exceptions among their leaders; some Lords are carried into battle by Shieldbearers - stout warriors who serve their liege by hefting a shield as a fighting platform. This is common amongst Dwarfs of the southern Holds and has been continued elsewhere, notable by King Alrik Ranulfsson of Karak Hirn. In other Clans, especially northern ones, Lords and Thanes prefer to fight atop Oath Stones, rocks upon which runes are struck - listing out the Clan's honour, or perhaps the Lord's lineage or deeds. The stone is a symbol of their homeland, a piece of their Dwarfhold made manifest.
1 Thane Rorek Proudbeard
300 Warriors
Dwarfs make formidable fighters - they are strong and extremely resilient, broad of shoulder and wide of girth. Although by no means quick, they are physically robust and can maintain a steady plodding pace, marching for days on end despite being loaded down by burdens and heavy mail. When they charge into battle, the momentum generated by their wide, armour-clad bodies is remarkable, hitting the foe with a resounding impact. They have broken many enemy battle lines this way, splintering Elven phalanxes, carving through Orc formations and hacking apart the great masses of Skaven that make up their verminous armies. Protected by their heavy mail, their skillful use of overlapping shield walls and, finally, by their own tough and obstinate nature, Dwarf individuals, units and armies as a whole seem able to absorb punishing blows that would cause other races to break and flee. With Dwarfs, such suffering only serves to make them angrier - and with beards bristling and hands clenched around axe hafts and mighty warhammers, the Dwarfs regroup to charge anew. Their feeble-limbed foes, too worn out and tired at the end to even lift their weapons, are slaughtered, save for those fast enough to flee the iron-shod and implacable advance of the Dwarves.
100 Thunderers
Standing in closely packed ranks, Thunderers take aim and then discharge their handguns - unleashing a thunderous fury and a cloud of gun smoke. Although not quite as long-ranged as a crossbow, the sturdy Dwarf handgun packs an even deadlier shot, its bullet fired with such velocity it can tear through armour and better take down more heavily protected foes, such as Chaos Warriors. Being methodical, the Dwarfs continue to load and fire in a disciplined manner, so long as their foes are within range. Even when the enemy advance close, almost right up on top of them, Thunderers will seek to get off one last shot. While the onset of bloodthirsty foes might cause lesser races to rush their aim, the steady coolness of the Dwarfs, not to mention the precision of their weaponry, ensures that every volley is fired with the same lethal accuracy as the last, until the moment the Thunderers take up their axes and meet the foe's charge in the bloody press of close combat.
The Dawongr
Whilst many of the monstrous creatures ridden by the heroes of the Empire have been raised from birth, such is not always the case with demigryphs. Amongst some Knightly Orders, an aspiring Knight's final trial is to capture a demigryph and break it up to his will. Unsurprisingly, many fail and are torn to bloody ribbons. As a result, there are relatively few Demigryph Knights in the Empire and even the Knights Griffon, who count fully two dozen of these majestic beasts amongst their number, still rely primarily on more conventional steeds. However, those few small Orders, such as the Knights of Taal's Fury and the Knights of the Vengeful Sun, whose entire brotherhoods can take to war upon these monstrous beasts, have a roll of victory honours surpassed only by the most ancient of Knightly Orders. Demigryph Knights do not tend to overwhelm their prey in great sweeping charges. Instead they are more likely to engage the enemy in protracted assaults where the strength and endurance of their fearsome mounts becomes decisive. Demigryphs are well suited to the savage and bloody nature of such fighting, with their claws and razor sharp beaks cutting a bloody swathe through their foes. In such close confines, a Knight's traditional lance loses much of its effectiveness, and many Demigryph Knights have thusly adapted their fighting style to wield heavy cavalry halberds in battle instead. These weapons strike the perfect balance between reach and power, and are far better suited to the Knight's role on the battlefield.

ok we have fulfil that oath
Yep, otherwise it's slayerhood for us, god sometimes I hate having to deal with oaths. Well, either way I propose we also work on the hold and do something for the demigryphs or at least some miliary actions.
