Letting out a humm you could only glare at the war table, the grobi were coming and if the ranger's had anything to say it would be soon despite their efforts. Sipping your ale you fiddled with a token meant to represent the umgi horse lords and wondered if they would be any use.
Their skill was not in doubt, the ranger's were adamant that they could fight but you were unsure if they had the grit and loyalty for the fighting. It wouldn't surprise you if they left with how umgi could be especially with those only loyal to coin or distant lordlings.
Placing the token down you called for a runner, you'd have to send a few messengers to your cousins anyway, though you were unsure if diverting them would be worth it. At least the Engineers and clan had done well in entrenching the hold for the coming battle.
Diplomacy: Mordin Mildbrow +19
Diplomacy: 2 Actions
[X] Improve relations with your Fellow Dwarven kin:
While there are few holds within the lands that your fellow kin call home they do exist and while not as large or great as the Karaz Ankor it would be best if relations with them did not turn sour, even if they are not the best they are still dwarfs and in your diminished stats, not that you'll admit such a thing it would be better if you at least managed to maintain strong ties with the few that remain.

-[X] Establish a Trade deal with foreign powers:
--[X] Gundabad
Rolled: 43+19+25+10(Synergy)=98 (Trade deal in your favor)
(Rolled into one thing due to synergy)
Mordin bowed respectfully to the young prince, the lad looking at ease as his guards eyed him warily. The deal struck had been a good one and while Balin seemed to be a touch put out he'd mostly been mollified with a rotation of the clan's warriors and a promise of war machines to help fortify their newly reclaimed hold.
Something that was in great demand if some of his jaunts into the hold had shown him, it was an adequate fort if what he'd seen and the people somewhat resolute but their industry was in shambles, much of their skilled craftsman unable to work without the umgi of dale to support them.
A foolish thing in his opinion but he'd managed to organise what they would need, though he'd pressed just how vital it was that they started growing their own crops and local forests if only so that they could be self sufficient.
Though as he stared at his assembled party he wondered why it was he'd been dragged into assembling another minor council of Khazad to help their young prince, as it stood he'd probably have to start writing treaties and outlines on how to do this thing by themselves if only to resolve the headache he had to deal with all the Khazad. He just hoped he wouldn't have to settle the guilds for them with how some things were shaping up under the direction of Prince Thorin and Balin.

[x] Wargames:
The Throng requires both a strong leader and one that can adapt to a variety of situations. The battlefield is often a place of chaos and confusion. Something that has sent many armies into disarray. But you are dawi and will seldom let this happen, though to ensure this

Shaking your head as your throng moped up the last of the Khazad formations under the mid day sun, you could only rub your hands together, Falstad owed you an ale for thinking the umgi would spot the throng.
Letting out a huff you sipped on some old world ale, it would be some time before your allies managed to reorganise themselves for the coming feast. Not that they would be all that cheerful with their results but they had fought well. Better than could be expected in an ambush springing up from the very ground they walked.
You'd even admit that they had fallen into near seamless cohesion as they fought in adhoc formations to fight you off. Not that it saved them under the onslaught of your holds warriors. It was rather anti-climatic really and the longbeards would no doubt grumble at not having to face the elgi again but you'd consider it a win for now.
Max Cohesion reached. (Casualties for all Blue mountain aligned armies reduced by 25% and will not suffer any debuff in offensive actions and +5 to attack rolls in offensive stance)
[X] Fortify the Mountains around the hold Further: Defence in depth is something all holds use, something that has been neglected in securing the hold in recent times but no more, send the warriors of the hold alongside a few builders to establish Migdhal(Small Fort's/Outposts) along the path to the hold and that of it's new vassals to ensure that no army approaches your new kingdom unseen or unimpeded. (Reduces the risk of Hostile forces approaching your kingdoms territory uncontested and provides safe havens for skirmishing rangers.) (Will have expanded options in the Intrigue tree once completed.)

Falstad smoked on his pipe, the hobbit herb's burning nicely he thaught as he stared over the mountain atop the highest fort within the clan's domain. It was honestly the smallest of the lot but it's importance in his eyes was far greater, it had clear enough site lines that should a fort be besieged the signal flares could be seen in times of need while also covering one of the few minor passes that lead directly to the hold.
Not that anything outside of a few stragglers could make it to the fort itself, that was unless the outer forts were taken but that's why plans were made, the grobi wouldn't take this place and as far as he was concerned the Throng was more than ready to face the coming threat. He just hoped that the drakes wouldn't prove him wrong.
Stewardship: +18 (Advisor Alrik)
-[X] Extensive Fixed defence expansion:
The Valley while secure with a single sturdy albeit short wall is enough to deter any would-be attacker, it is only a single measly wall that would have many a dawi warrior wonder if they were going to the halls of Gazul should it be attacked. So it is about time that you made like a proper dawi and turn your over-glorified mine into at least the beginnings of a true Karak worthy of it's name. (+1 Wall connecting draw bridge and a moat along with additional artillery emplacements +2)

Alrik took a gulp of ale to parch his throat as he surveyed the latest work done by his guild with a critical eye, he'd have to give the clan's engineers a reward, their actions had allowed for the completion of the latest defences, it was solid and while the walls had gained some height it wouldn't really stop a determined enemy.
Still two was always better than one, he just prayed to the Ancestors that these walls would never be tested with how many other fortifications were built but he'd still draw up a few more plans for this section, it was better to be prepared should Gotri need it and a few more traps couldn't hurt though with all the traffic they would need some careful implementation.
(Valley defences upgraded)
[X] Expand the Underground Fortress facing the Grobi: The Grobi of the depths are an ever present threat, though they are mostly unaware of our presence they could either breach our mines or flood the mountains surface with the only entrance left, set the holds masons and architects to work on fortifying if further for the safety of our allies and the hold. (Adds two additional walls and traps to the Melkor fort facing the grobi)

Watching as the Grobi ran from the fort Alrik could only give out a contemplative humm before glancing towards his youngest apprentice and giving him a nod. "It'll do lad though a bit tight on the spacing of your traps but I'll let it stand, though I'll need to inspect the control scheme just so no accidents occur." He said not admitting that it was rather ingenious in some ways.
Not that he would mention that to the lad, couldn't have him get to big a head and while the additional traps, ditch and even some rather nice Barbican's for each wall. The Grobi would pay dearly to try and assault it though not nearly enough, especially if the drakes came despite everything done to ensure that the gates would hold. It would be a coin flip if everything they'd added would only stall them.
He just hoped that all their work would hold for their was no doubt in his mind that they would come this way, mostly because they knew of it though they might use another route he doubted it, their aversion to sunlight would ensure that.
(Melkor Fort upgraded with reinforced walls and additional portcullis and traps)
(Total number of Gates: 3 Total number of Portcullis's: 5)
[X] Submarine Headquarters and facilities:
The Clan's more radical and crazed Dawi have taken to gusto amongst the minor drydock used by the Naughtilus scout submarines, their work more than enough to sustain the two within operation whilst providing upgrades though that is not the least of their ambitions already they are drawing up further plan's for their operation, many of which are far from cheap and will require the aid of the clan's treasury to implement. Though that is a small price to pay when most of their plan's involve a Dock large enough to produce the ships used by the Diving clan's of Zhuffbar while also running their own expeditions. (Unlocks the Construction of the Standard and Large Dive Submarines and the ability to research the Advanced Water tech tree and reduces construction costs of minor sub craft and construction time.) (Experimental tech locked off due to choosing land-based specialty.) (Note the Standard deep diver is capable of deep-sea exploration) (Also your submarine dock is connected with the sea somewhere) (+8 Berths added to your Hold Dock Yard)

Snorri polished off the last of the crane while praying to Morgrim for gifting the king the foresight to at long last grant his guilds needs, the new machinery and by all rights hall that it sat in was well hidden and would be hard to spot at the best of times. Made all the more harder now that it was sealed within the mountain the only access a hidden elevator that none save the clan knew how to operate.
It was a boon and even a better place to build submarines now that only those trained in the engineering art were allowed access outside of their crews, a bigger relief than he'd like to admit with how many of them seemed to want to get themselves killed with all their accidents.
Though as he gazed at the now properly built and furnished hall he could not help but be glad for it, the machinery within enough that they would no longer have to trek back to the hold for newer parts or even fabricating the needed components. Well most of them except the most advanced and while it would probably be awhile he looked forward to all the empty berths being filled with great works.
(Submarine headquarters built)
[x] Expand the Halls of the Holds defences:
Should those who threaten the hold ever find it's way into the heart of your peoples hold it would not do to let them remain uncontested and while outside of the standard gate and few positions within the hold it currently remains barren, see to it that the hold is reinforced and should any grobi or urk enter your home they are given the most hellish of greetings befitting those who would lay such an insult upon your clan and hold. (Gate's added along the main junctions of the hold while small armoury forts are built throughout the larger halls to ensure all dwarfs have both a strong fighting position and weapons at their disposal.)

Rolled: 82+18+25=125
Looking over the map within the council chambers you could not help but wonder just who was put in charge of this project because it was surely not a traditionalist, oh their was work that you could see that had been from older more ancient holds but the sheer amount of ridicules if not out right insane fortifications and improvements made could only mean the radicals were at it again.
Not that you could grumble or complain at what had been done, the most notable being all the forts and towers now within each hall, their entrance's only accessible through hidden passage ways or kill boxes. The Traps were also nothing to scoff at if what you were reading was right and with how it all inter-mixed the grobi would pay a hefty price to just threaten never mind hurt any of your subjects.
Though you'd have to speak with a few of the clan and inspect just how all these traps were activated, if only for the sanctity of your own mind with how some of them were so damn dangerous.
(Hall's fortified excessively now, each holding multiple forts or towers along with a plethora of supporting traps. Any fights within your hold will give you a decisive manuvering advantage due to hidden tunnels and fortifications also civilians within the hold are no longer at risk unless the Throng is defeated.)
[x] Fund the Clan's speciality Hall: While the Splintering was rather unfortunate with how it went, you can at least take solace in the knowledge that you no longer have to worry about which group is which and with it and renewed purpose as it is much easier to plan around a dedicated clan than the weird mess that they had stuck to. Now if only you could instil some initiative in them would things improve but first a bit of responsibility should help them.
-Foambear (Not Built) (Basic Maintenance and Naval Learning) (Cost's 2000 Gold) (will eventually start building monitors and gun boats for the hold)
1 Turn
Rolled: 69+18+25=112
Watching as the Khazad of clan Foambear trickled into the new hall you could not help but wonder if this was a good idea. The guild would of course be happy to spread it's more fundamental knowledge with them but you could not help but think that it was a risk.
It wasn't that you didn't trust your kin and subjects to maintain the secretes from the umgi but you couldn't imagine the Khazad spending a third of their life just learning the basic's of such an important trade. Though while they would likely never be master's of the trade you supposed it would have to do you just hoped no shoddy work would result from it.
(Khazad Naval-Engineering Guild support established Khazad engineers will show up some point in the future and sooner than planned)
[x] Expand the Steel Hall to a Steel Foundry:
With the hold finally producing steel at a good rate it is still not enough, at least if you're considering adding even more steel goods to your trade caravans outside of the more basic weapons and the occasional piece of armour it is still far from being enough to feed the demand of your allies of which there is much and exporting the raw steel will reduce the Burdon your clan's smiths and maybe get the umgi some proper equipment. (+1 Trade deal Capacity and adds Steel Ingots to trade list with a base value of 250 Gold and increases the base value of Arm's and armour to 800 Gold(It was at 500 Gold))
60% chance of success Cost: 2500 Gold (Maintenance cost of 800 Gold)
1 Turn
Rolled: 47+18+25=90
The sound of hissing steel emanated from the depths of the hold, the red hue cast from the expansions to the smith's hall easy to see. Many were even avoiding it from the sheer heat released through the doors.
Only the most experienced and hardy of your clan able to handle the temperature's. All the while cart after cart could be seen been lead into the hall. It would no doubt be a hard task to feed such a hungry foundry but your distant kinsman were if nothing else determined to meet the demand and in turn it would no doubt boost your hold's reputation.
You just hoped the umgi would know how to work such high quality steel and not let it go to waste. Though knowing them, you wouldn't be surprised if they managed to fail at it even with the blessing of a longer than average umgi life.
Master Engineers: Master-Craft Small Aircraft Hanger (Your getting a headstart) (made use of Stone Mason Hall)
Standing below the highest peak of the Mountain, Master Engineer Gunnar could not help but marvel at how far the clan had come. True the Hanger built by his fellow guild members was no ancient wonder but the genuine lack of threats had let them reach a point he'd honestly not thought he would see at least for a few decades more.
Stranger still was that so many of his fellow elders were still alive, a few had fallen true but he'd expected their to only be a handful after all the fighting. Not that he was going to complain since it had allowed his fellow Master Engineers to cooperate with one another to ensure the knowledge of the clan did not dwindle.
Even better was that they had managed to pull together enough resources to at least get the basic for each of their chosen fields built, a bit of a struggle but all the trade had made them wealthy and now with trade open with their distant kin. It would only grow and was honestly the main reason they had backed this project.
Not that he'd ever get into a gyro-copter or if Ancestors bid a Thunder Barge but the chance to travel quickly to their allies would be a welcome addition to the hold. Though as he watched the elevator bring up the last of the equipment he grinned. It seemed they were ready to call their job done.
(Has a ability to produce Master Craft Gyro-Copters and Gyro-Bombers) (Due to lack of advanced components hall, you are unable to build thunder barges from it just yet.)
(Capacity increased to 4 Wings of Aircraft or 2 small Thunder barge's)
Intrigue: Skill of Hokul +15 (+10 To opening combat Rolls and ambush rolls) (Debuff removed from next turn)
[X] Antagonise two major warbands to face one another in combat: The Larger grobi warbands are a threat but like all of their ilk, they are prone to violence it should be easy enough to spark a few major battles to weaken them, though it will be far from easy it will no doubt reduce their numbers.

The ground shook beneath Hokuls feet as fire engulfed the caverns below him. The sheer amount of dead was something he would treasure and thank the ancestors for the rest of time. The enemies of the clan littered the floor and while this was indeed a large clash it was by far one of the smaller ones.
Though he conceded as he watched the drakes set ablaze yet more grobi, the differing warbands had been bled badly over the last few years. It had taken a lot of effort and a fair bit of cunning but he and his fellow rangers had pulled out all the stops.
It had been easy at first to fan the flames of war as it always was when the grobi lacked a fight. A few patrols taken out and even a few meetings taken apart, it had sparked the needed aggression and they had guided it. Though while the grobi had fought resuming their obvious age old feud, it was the holds rangers that had tipped the balance.
Strongpoints were assaulted or poisoned the grobi none the wiser to their presence and were wiped out, it had taken a bit more effort to ensure the fortifications could not be used but ensuring a few fight's occurred near them always provided enough cover to do what was needed.
Though it was by far the Engineer's guild along with the clan's younger ranger's who had gotten far to enterprising as they started using explosives and all other sorts of devices to wreck havoc amongst the grobi in inventive ways. The elder Ranger's only seeming to jump on the idea as they started collapsing bridges and tunnels atop them to show the beardlings how it should be done.
In the end it had accumulated into a hefty amount of dead, though far fewer drakes had died than he would have liked. Their task was successful he just preyed that it would be enough to stall them.

Burlock shook his head and marked the Bolt Thrower model as defective if innovative idea, it would have to be scrapped but it spoke well of the clan's youngest learning engineers that they could come up with this. Especially as it finally showed that they could actually show some ancestors be damned restraint.
At least the Bolt thrower would only need slight modification now. though their were some ideas for their munitions that just couldn't understand why it was tested and proposed, they were in theory a terrible idea but the guilds more radical members had already started figuring out ways to make some of them more stable.
It would be a lengthy progress but at least those were a ways off and as it stood the new types of bolts would be an excellent addition to the Throng should they ever be needed.
(Guild reduced to a neutral leaning now though with minor radical elements.)
Personal: +7 to Improvement actions
[X] Put more effort into Mentoring the Younger Rangers:
While you are far from an excellent ranger and out of practice, much to your chargrin you are not above coming to the field when needed, the clan has long been one of the few to hold ranger's within their ranks. Though with recent losses you cannot claim them to be as good as they once were they are at least passable, though that's not good enough for you, so take the time to give a few pointers to the young of the clan on how it's properly done. (Might do Interludes with you in an Intrigue action) (+10 to all Intrigue rolls for 3 Turns) (Warning taking this option over a certain period of time without breaks means you risk gaining the Trait Sun touched wanderer! +25 to all weapon training rolls and +3 to Martial skill and +2 to all weapon skills but -10 to rolls in both diplomacy and stewardship actions)
(Improves your Intrigue Skill)
Rolled: 46+25=71
Letting out a hum gave a nod as the last of the young ranger's stumbled into camp. "I suppose I shouldn't have expected much from you lot, barely even managed to get back to camp though I suppose you made, if only barely." Stretching you scarched your chin. "I think I'll have Uvor run you through a few more drills and you'll be adequate for such green rangers.
Hearing them groan brought a smile to your face, if only cause they had proven decent and while they had managed to do well enough the world was not as harsh as your old one. Ancestors at least half these younger rangers would never have survived half a decade, few survived the old world but some time training had seen to fixing some of their shortcomings. It wouldn't solve their lack of experience but at least they no longer made some of the more Rookie mistakes, it was shame your clan's core of rangers were so depleted that your elders could not impart more knowledge on them before they were let loose but they were learning and experience would eventually solve most of your issues.
Watching them trudge further into camp you could only hope that they would survive the coming battles.
[X] Spend time with your friends and family within the hold: Rolled: 37+25=62
A fire roared in the corner as your family talked amongst one another your cousins actually around for once as you could see your eldest son badgering them for tales of their journeys. Not That Garik had many but he'd joined the ranger's in the last decade and he had seen far more combat than any other's of his fellow generation.
Chuckling you turned back to your spit, a tiny figure darted around the vast boar that spun over it. The horned pig was a nasty brute, large enough to be an urks pet, and a magnificent hunt. While it had been a pain hauling it back to the hold (your guards having their own to deal with), the smell filling your nostrils made it certainly worth it. Already little Groa, helped around by auntie, were seasoning it up. Perhaps a touch too much judging from what was crusting its
hind, but with this enthusiasm you were sure she'd make an
excellent cook in time, though as you went about your day enjoying a simple day you wondered where the hell the years had gone, already near two decades had passed since the birth of your twins and it seemed to be slipping even quicker. Still things were good especially since you'd patched things with Idun but it was still far from ideal in your opinion but you'd take what you could get with the coming trials.
You grabbed an Ale, thinking it was about time to drag her other half in. Sure supper was a good 3 hours off, but it would be good for your youngest son to be away from his workshop. Ancestors, your little engineer was beginning to become a bigger recluse than you had been, and you were a ranger!

[X] Ranged Weapons Practice:
Few can muster the skill to match the aim of a dawi and even fewer can match the prowess of a longbeard, something you are more than capable of and with Valaya blessing you aim few will survive your sight, yet even naturally skilled shooters need to train lest their aim slacken and their kin suffer from such incompetence not that you'd let it slide for a king must set an example for all his subjects to follow.

Keeping a careful eye on the container holding many of the recovered Khazad, Snorri wondered just what had happened within that damned hall since their last visit, though what ever it was had made them rather jumpy.
It had not even taken much to coax them out of the hall along with their large bug mounts, many of them had seemed even glad to board the modified rescue pods despite how cramped it was. Letting out a huff he stowed such thoughts and focused on guiding the ship to dock, he'd speak with them once they were out and safe on the surface. Not that he could quite keep his mind from wondering.

Quest Chain lost. What you could discover will be harder to find now and require delving in some other dwarf ruin. Also you don't gain a fort as it's no longer needed.

Just gonna post and pray I missed nothing you guys have been waiting for long enough. Still, some changes will occur for next turn, mostly shifting each section into a single entry to help speed up the updates and reduce just how much I write other wise I know how this goes.

Letting out a humm you could only glare at the war table, the grobi were coming and if the ranger's had anything to say it would be soon despite their efforts. Sipping your ale you fiddled with a token meant to represent the umgi horse lords and wondered if they would be any use.
Their skill was not in doubt, the ranger's were adamant that they could fight but you were unsure if they had the grit and loyalty for the fighting. It wouldn't surprise you if they left with how umgi could be especially with those only loyal to coin or distant lordlings.
Placing the token down you called for a runner, you'd have to send a few messengers to your cousins anyway, though you were unsure if diverting them would be worth it. At least the Engineers and clan had done well in entrenching the hold for the coming battle.

[X] Improve relations with your Fellow Dwarven kin:
While there are few holds within the lands that your fellow kin call home they do exist and while not as large or great as the Karaz Ankor it would be best if relations with them did not turn sour, even if they are not the best they are still dwarfs and in your diminished stats, not that you'll admit such a thing it would be better if you at least managed to maintain strong ties with the few that remain.

(Rolled into one thing due to synergy)
Mordin bowed respectfully to the young prince, the lad looking at ease as his guards eyed him warily. The deal struck had been a good one and while Balin seemed to be a touch put out he'd mostly been mollified with a rotation of the clan's warriors and a promise of war machines to help fortify their newly reclaimed hold.
Something that was in great demand if some of his jaunts into the hold had shown him, it was an adequate fort if what he'd seen and the people somewhat resolute but their industry was in shambles, much of their skilled craftsman unable to work without the umgi of dale to support them.
A foolish thing in his opinion but he'd managed to organise what they would need, though he'd pressed just how vital it was that they started growing their own crops and local forests if only so that they could be self sufficient.
Though as he stared at his assembled party he wondered why it was he'd been dragged into assembling another minor council of Khazad to help their young prince, as it stood he'd probably have to start writing treaties and outlines on how to do this thing by themselves if only to resolve the headache he had to deal with all the Khazad. He just hoped he wouldn't have to settle the guilds for them with how some things were shaping up under the direction of Prince Thorin and Balin.

[x] Wargames:
The Throng requires both a strong leader and one that can adapt to a variety of situations. The battlefield is often a place of chaos and confusion. Something that has sent many armies into disarray. But you are dawi and will seldom let this happen, though to ensure this

Shaking your head as your throng moped up the last of the Khazad formations under the mid day sun, you could only rub your hands together, Falstad owed you an ale for thinking the umgi would spot the throng.
Letting out a huff you sipped on some old world ale, it would be some time before your allies managed to reorganise themselves for the coming feast. Not that they would be all that cheerful with their results but they had fought well. Better than could be expected in an ambush springing up from the very ground they walked.
You'd even admit that they had fallen into near seamless cohesion as they fought in adhoc formations to fight you off. Not that it saved them under the onslaught of your holds warriors. It was rather anti-climatic really and the longbeards would no doubt grumble at not having to face the elgi again but you'd consider it a win for now.
Max Cohesion reached. (Casualties for all Blue mountain aligned armies reduced by 25% and will not suffer any debuff in offensive actions and +5 to attack rolls in offensive stance)
[X] Fortify the Mountains around the hold Further: Defence in depth is something all holds use, something that has been neglected in securing the hold in recent times but no more, send the warriors of the hold alongside a few builders to establish Migdhal(Small Fort's/Outposts) along the path to the hold and that of it's new vassals to ensure that no army approaches your new kingdom unseen or unimpeded. (Reduces the risk of Hostile forces approaching your kingdoms territory uncontested and provides safe havens for skirmishing rangers.) (Will have expanded options in the Intrigue tree once completed.) (will build 5 forts) (Current number of locations for forts amount to 12 within your direct area (Check map)) (7 out of 12 possible forts built) (this will enclose the surrounding mountains with your forts)

Falstad smoked on his pipe, the hobbit herb's burning nicely he thaught as he stared over the mountain atop the highest fort within the clan's domain. It was honestly the smallest of the lot but it's importance in his eyes was far greater, it had clear enough site lines that should a fort be besieged the signal flares could be seen in times of need while also covering one of the few minor passes that lead directly to the hold.
Not that anything outside of a few stragglers could make it to the fort itself, that was unless the outer forts were taken but that's why plans were made, the grobi wouldn't take this place and as far as he was concerned the Throng was more than ready to face the coming threat. He just hoped that the drakes wouldn't prove him wrong.
Stewardship: +18 (Advisor Alrik)
-[X] Extensive Fixed defence expansion:
The Valley while secure with a single sturdy albeit short wall is enough to deter any would-be attacker, it is only a single measly wall that would have many a dawi warrior wonder if they were going to the halls of Gazul should it be attacked. So it is about time that you made like a proper dawi and turn your over-glorified mine into at least the beginnings of a true Karak worthy of it's name.

Alrik took a gulp of ale to parch his throat as he surveyed the latest work done by his guild with a critical eye, he'd have to give the clan's engineers a reward, their actions had allowed for the completion of the latest defences, it was solid and while the walls had gained some height it wouldn't really stop a determined enemy.
Still two was always better than one, he just prayed to the Ancestors that these walls would never be tested with how many other fortifications were built but he'd still draw up a few more plans for this section, it was better to be prepared should Gotri need it and a few more traps couldn't hurt though with all the traffic they would need some careful implementation.
(Valley defences upgraded)
[X] Expand the Underground Fortress facing the Grobi: The Grobi of the depths are an ever present threat, though they are mostly unaware of our presence they could either breach our mines or flood the mountains surface with the only entrance left, set the holds masons and architects to work on fortifying if further for the safety of our allies and the hold. (Adds two additional walls and traps to the Melkor fort facing the grobi)

Watching as the Grobi ran from the fort Alrik could only give out a contemplative humm before glancing towards his youngest apprentice and giving him a nod. "It'll do lad though a bit tight on the spacing of your traps but I'll let it stand, though I'll need to inspect the control scheme just so no accidents occur." He said not admitting that it was rather ingenious in some ways.
Not that he would mention that to the lad, couldn't have him get to big a head and while the additional traps, ditch and even some rather nice Barbican's for each wall. The Grobi would pay dearly to try and assault it though not nearly enough, especially if the drakes came despite everything done to ensure that the gates would hold. It would be a coin flip if everything they'd added would only stall them.
He just hoped that all their work would hold for their was no doubt in his mind that they would come this way, mostly because they knew of it though they might use another route he doubted it, their aversion to sunlight would ensure that.
(Melkor Fort upgraded with reinforced walls and additional portcullis and traps)
(Total number of Gates: 3 Total number of Portcullis's: 5)
[X] Submarine Headquarters and facilities:
The Clan's more radical and crazed Dawi have taken to gusto amongst the minor drydock used by the Naughtilus scout submarines, their work more than enough to sustain the two within operation whilst providing upgrades though that is not the least of their ambitions already they are drawing up further plan's for their operation, many of which are far from cheap and will require the aid of the clan's treasury to implement. Though that is a small price to pay when most of their plan's involve a Dock large enough to produce the ships used by the Diving clan's of Zhuffbar while also running their own expeditions. (Unlocks the Construction of the Standard and Large Dive Submarines and the ability to research the Advanced Water tech tree and reduces construction costs of minor sub craft and construction time.) (Experimental tech locked off due to choosing land-based specialty.) (Note the Standard deep diver is capable of deep-sea exploration) (Also your submarine dock is connected with the sea somewhere) (+8 Berths added to your Hold Dock Yard)

Snorri polished off the last of the crane while praying to Morgrim for gifting the king the foresight to at long last grant his guilds needs, the new machinery and by all rights hall that it sat in was well hidden and would be hard to spot at the best of times. Made all the more harder now that it was sealed within the mountain the only access a hidden elevator that none save the clan knew how to operate.
It was a boon and even a better place to build submarines now that only those trained in the engineering art were allowed access outside of their crews, a bigger relief than he'd like to admit with how many of them seemed to want to get themselves killed with all their accidents.
Though as he gazed at the now properly built and furnished hall he could not help but be glad for it, the machinery within enough that they would no longer have to trek back to the hold for newer parts or even fabricating the needed components. Well most of them except the most advanced and while it would probably be awhile he looked forward to all the empty berths being filled with great works.
(Submarine headquarters built)
[x] Expand the Halls of the Holds defences:
Should those who threaten the hold ever find it's way into the heart of your peoples hold it would not do to let them remain uncontested and while outside of the standard gate and few positions within the hold it currently remains barren, see to it that the hold is reinforced and should any grobi or urk enter your home they are given the most hellish of greetings befitting those who would lay such an insult upon your clan and hold. (Gate's added along the main junctions of the hold while small armoury forts are built throughout the larger halls to ensure all dwarfs have both a strong fighting position and weapons at their disposal.)

Rolled: 82+18+25=125
Looking over the map within the council chambers you could not help but wonder just who was put in charge of this project because it was surely not a traditionalist, oh their was work that you could see that had been from older more ancient holds but the sheer amount of ridicules if not out right insane fortifications and improvements made could only mean the radicals were at it again.
Not that you could grumble or complain at what had been done, the most notable being all the forts and towers now within each hall, their entrance's only accessible through hidden passage ways or kill boxes. The Traps were also nothing to scoff at if what you were reading was right and with how it all inter-mixed the grobi would pay a hefty price to just threaten never mind hurt any of your subjects.
Though you'd have to speak with a few of the clan and inspect just how all these traps were activated, if only for the sanctity of your own mind with how some of them were so damn dangerous.
(Hall's fortified excessively now, each holding multiple forts or towers along with a plethora of supporting traps. Any fights within your hold will give you a decisive manuvering advantage due to hidden tunnels and fortifications also civilians within the hold are no longer at risk unless the Throng is defeated.)
[x] Fund the Clan's speciality Hall: While the Splintering was rather unfortunate with how it went, you can at least take solace in the knowledge that you no longer have to worry about which group is which and with it and renewed purpose as it is much easier to plan around a dedicated clan than the weird mess that they had stuck to. Now if only you could instil some initiative in them would things improve but first a bit of responsibility should help them.
-Foambear (Not Built) (Basic Maintenance and Naval Learning) (Cost's 2000 Gold) (will eventually start building monitors and gun boats for the hold)

Rolled: 69+18+25=112
Watching as the Khazad of clan Foambear trickled into the new hall you could not help but wonder if this was a good idea. The guild would of course be happy to spread it's more fundamental knowledge with them but you could not help but think that it was a risk.
It wasn't that you didn't trust your kin and subjects to maintain the secretes from the umgi but you couldn't imagine the Khazad spending a third of their life just learning the basic's of such an important trade. Though while they would likely never be master's of the trade you supposed it would have to do you just hoped no shoddy work would result from it.
(Khazad Naval-Engineering Guild support established Khazad engineers will show up some point in the future and sooner than planned)
[x] Expand the Steel Hall to a Steel Foundry:
With the hold finally producing steel at a good rate it is still not enough, at least if you're considering adding even more steel goods to your trade caravans outside of the more basic weapons and the occasional piece of armour it is still far from being enough to feed the demand of your allies of which there is much and exporting the raw steel will reduce the Burdon your clan's smiths and maybe get the umgi some proper equipment. (+1 Trade deal Capacity and adds Steel Ingots to trade list with a base value of 250 Gold and increases the base value of Arm's and armour to 800 Gold(It was at 500 Gold))
60% chance of success Cost: 2500 Gold (Maintenance cost of 800 Gold)

Rolled: 47+18+25=90
The sound of hissing steel emanated from the depths of the hold, the red hue cast from the expansions to the smith's hall easy to see. Many were even avoiding it from the sheer heat released through the doors.
Only the most experienced and hardy of your clan able to handle the temperature's. All the while cart after cart could be seen been lead into the hall. It would no doubt be a hard task to feed such a hungry foundry but your distant kinsman were if nothing else determined to meet the demand and in turn it would no doubt boost your hold's reputation.
You just hoped the umgi would know how to work such high quality steel and not let it go to waste. Though knowing them, you wouldn't be surprised if they managed to fail at it even with the blessing of a longer than average umgi life.
Master Engineers: Master-Craft Small Aircraft Hanger (Your getting a headstart) (made use of Stone Mason Hall)
Standing below the highest peak of the Mountain, Master Engineer Gunnar could not help but marvel at how far the clan had come. True the Hanger built by his fellow guild members was no ancient wonder but the genuine lack of threats had let them reach a point he'd honestly not thought he would see at least for a few decades more.
Stranger still was that so many of his fellow elders were still alive, a few had fallen true but he'd expected their to only be a handful after all the fighting. Not that he was going to complain since it had allowed his fellow Master Engineers to cooperate with one another to ensure the knowledge of the clan did not dwindle.
Even better was that they had managed to pull together enough resources to at least get the basic for each of their chosen fields built, a bit of a struggle but all the trade had made them wealthy and now with trade open with their distant kin. It would only grow and was honestly the main reason they had backed this project.
Not that he'd ever get into a gyro-copter or if Ancestors bid a Thunder Barge but the chance to travel quickly to their allies would be a welcome addition to the hold. Though as he watched the elevator bring up the last of the equipment he grinned. It seemed they were ready to call their job done.
(Has a ability to produce Master Craft Gyro-Copters and Gyro-Bombers) (Due to lack of advanced components hall, you are unable to build thunder barges from it just yet.)

The ground shook beneath Hokuls feet as fire engulfed the caverns below him. The sheer amount of dead was something he would treasure and thank the ancestors for the rest of time. The enemies of the clan littered the floor and while this was indeed a large clash it was by far one of the smaller ones.
Though he conceded as he watched the drakes set ablaze yet more grobi, the differing warbands had been bled badly over the last few years. It had taken a lot of effort and a fair bit of cunning but he and his fellow rangers had pulled out all the stops.
It had been easy at first to fan the flames of war as it always was when the grobi lacked a fight. A few patrols taken out and even a few meetings taken apart, it had sparked the needed aggression and they had guided it. Though while the grobi had fought resuming their obvious age old feud, it was the holds rangers that had tipped the balance.
Strongpoints were assaulted or poisoned the grobi none the wiser to their presence and were wiped out, it had taken a bit more effort to ensure the fortifications could not be used but ensuring a few fight's occurred near them always provided enough cover to do what was needed.
Though it was by far the Engineer's guild along with the clan's younger ranger's who had gotten far to enterprising as they started using explosives and all other sorts of devices to wreck havoc amongst the grobi in inventive ways. The elder Ranger's only seeming to jump on the idea as they started collapsing bridges and tunnels atop them to show the beardlings how it should be done.
In the end it had accumulated into a hefty amount of dead, though far fewer drakes had died than he would have liked. Their task was successful he just preyed that it would be enough to stall them.

Burlock shook his head and marked the Bolt Thrower model as defective if innovative idea, it would have to be scrapped but it spoke well of the clan's youngest learning engineers that they could come up with this. Especially as it finally showed that they could actually show some ancestors be damned restraint.
At least the Bolt thrower would only need slight modification now. though their were some ideas for their munitions that just couldn't understand why it was tested and proposed, they were in theory a terrible idea but the guilds more radical members had already started figuring out ways to make some of them more stable.
It would be a lengthy progress but at least those were a ways off and as it stood the new types of bolts would be an excellent addition to the Throng should they ever be needed.
(Guild reduced to a neutral leaning now though with minor radical elements.)

[X] Put more effort into Mentoring the Younger Rangers:
While you are far from an excellent ranger and out of practice, much to your chargrin you are not above coming to the field when needed, the clan has long been one of the few to hold ranger's within their ranks. Though with recent losses you cannot claim them to be as good as they once were they are at least passable, though that's not good enough for you, so take the time to give a few pointers to the young of the clan on how it's properly done.

"I think I'll have Uvor run you through a few more drills and you'll be adequate for such green rangers.
Hearing them groan brought a smile to your face, if only cause they had proven decent and while they had managed to do well enough the world was not as harsh as your old one. Ancestors at least half these younger rangers would never have survived half a decade, few survived the old world but some time training had seen to fixing some of their shortcomings. It wouldn't solve their lack of experience but at least they no longer made some of the more Rookie mistakes, it was shame your clan's core of rangers were so depleted that your elders could not impart more knowledge on them before they were let loose but they were learning and experience would eventually solve most of your issues.
Watching them trudge further into camp you could only hope that they would survive the coming battles.
[X] Spend time with your friends and family within the hold: Rolled: 37+25=62
A fire roared in the corner as your family talked amongst one another your cousins actually around for once as you could see your eldest son badgering them for tales of their journeys. Not That Garik had many but he'd joined the ranger's in the last decade and he had seen far more combat than any other's of his fellow generation.
Chuckling you turned back to your spit, a tiny figure darted around the vast boar that spun over it. The horned pig was a nasty brute, large enough to be an urks pet, and a magnificent hunt. While it had been a pain hauling it back to the hold (your guards having their own to deal with), the smell filling your nostrils made it certainly worth it. Already little Groa, helped around by auntie, were seasoning it up. Perhaps a touch too much judging from what was crusting its
hind, but with this enthusiasm you were sure she'd make an
excellent cook in time, though as you went about your day enjoying a simple day you wondered where the hell the years had gone, already near two decades had passed since the birth of your twins and it seemed to be slipping even quicker. Still things were good especially since you'd patched things with Idun but it was still far from ideal in your opinion but you'd take what you could get with the coming trials.
You grabbed an Ale, thinking it was about time to drag her other half in. Sure supper was a good 3 hours off, but it would be good for your youngest son to be away from his workshop. Ancestors, your little engineer was beginning to become a bigger recluse than you had been, and you were a ranger!
Training Actions:
[X] Ranged Weapons Practice:
Few can muster the skill to match the aim of a dawi and even fewer can match the prowess of a longbeard, something you are more than capable of and with Valaya blessing you aim few will survive your sight, yet even naturally skilled shooters need to train lest their aim slacken and their kin suffer from such incompetence not that you'd let it slide for a king must set an example for all his subjects to follow.
(x4 on any roll you make to weapon Improvements) (increases skill with 3 ranged weapons at random) (Trait-Blessed marksman increases results of training) (Trait-Blessed of Grimnir +40 to all practice rolls)
Time: 1 Turn
Rolled: 44+7+25=76 x7 x2,5=1330 Points of Progress Skill Increased
Was for Dwarf Rifles – 17, (Progress to next level is 1167/2000) (Main Combat weapon)
Now for Dwarf Rifles – 18, (Progress to next level is 497/2000) (Main Combat weapon)
Naval Actions:
-[X] Establish a Fort within Nogrod's Royal Armoury: While it is deep within the flooded hall's of Nogrod it is without doubt a hall filled with riches but also dangers as Thorgrimsson and his crew has discovered, this is not to mention of the Khazad within the hall, it will require many decades to recover what was lost within the hall and a great deal of effort to evacuate the Khazad within without a large fleet. (No longer requires a Martial action) (Quest Chain lost, once done you gain the wealth and khazad within) (If you navy grows large enough this quest chain auto completes. Though you might lose out on the goodies their if you take too long)
1 Turn
65% Chance of Success
Rolled: 10+20(Martial action)+25=55
Keeping a careful eye on the container holding many of the recovered Khazad, Snorri wondered just what had happened within that damned hall since their last visit, though what ever it was had made them rather jumpy.
It had not even taken much to coax them out of the hall along with their large bug mounts, many of them had seemed even glad to board the modified rescue pods despite how cramped it was. Letting out a huff he stowed such thoughts and focused on guiding the ship to dock, he'd speak with them once they were out and safe on the surface. Not that he could quite keep his mind from wondering.
+350 Khazad (Clan name to be voted on)
Quest Chain lost. What you could discover will be harder to find now and require delving in some other dwarf ruin. Also you don't gain a fort as it's no longer needed.
+35 000 Gold
Runic Commissions:
-[X] Commission a dawi regiments worth of Basic Rune armour:
- Mainline Troops (1 Turn and Cost's 5000 Gold for 20 Sets of Armour) (+5 To Defence Rolls)
-[X] Runic Research:
--[X] Intermediate Offensive Runes (Complete)
Intermediate Runes require no roll, as they auto succeed this will change once reaching the next stage which are standard followed by high runes which will lead to master runes.
The new gates took a surprisingly short amount of time, the khazad having worked fast, at least for what you could compare to dawi runesmiths. Still, while it's not as grand a thing as Runesmith's work from the Karaz Ankor, it will do.
Guild Actions:
-[X] Gift a few guilds some gold for their own use or gift all the gold to a single clan: (Choose 3 Guilds with only a minor boost to their Appeasement or choose 1 clan to receive the gold for a large boost at the cost of 1200 Gold)

You know sometimes, I really wish I could keep to an update schedule still I think this turn turned out relatively well, still I think this turned out okay but it could be better I think. Just gonna post and pray I missed nothing you guys have been waiting for long enough. Still, some changes will occur for next turn, mostly shifting each section into a single entry to help speed up the updates and reduce just how much I write other wise I know how this goes. Still Until next time enjoy.
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS I LAY DORMANT, WHO HAS DISTURBED MY- Oh, it's Mad0Slayer with a new chapter of Rings and Grudges.
Nice.
Nice.
After years of failure intrigue finally crited and it crited hard

Yes a good turn
Damm we fucked up the orcs and our fortifying is going well
And we are on the in roads for a wider dwarf alliance
To bad about the quest chain we have seek those goodies eslewhere but atleast we have another clan
And it seems we need to expand our brew trade ability now we are over the limit
And now almost all the dwarfs on the surface is save behind the walls of our kingdom

... Sauron probably thinks God hates him now.
So unlucky.
So unlucky.
I mean technically
lmao
Eru: "Always has been."
So i think its safe to say that the "Current Grobi Conflict" is gonna be very high now as the minor factions well smell weakness and the name factions are gonna be out for blood
AIR CAVALRY OF KARAK LHUNE!
Ok we need two gyro coptors and two small thunderbarges.
Presumably, we more or less with all of our Intrigue actions criting, just wiped out close to a third of all the Grobi we have to deal with and wiped out a little bit more then half of the Minor Dragons the Cultist's of Glaurung had at their disposal. With both of the major factions in the Case of the Melkorians and the Black hand, losing a fourth and half, respectively of the hosts. They are absolutely going to go on either a war path for vengeance, a desire to recruit all of the minor factions to fill in their loss's, or both options at the same time because of our Rangers.
we should really get to building some farms or something if we get sieged we die hard
Very nice turn.
Posting original Drake numbers for comparison.
Drake Numbers:
1 Large Fire Dragon (Fairly large for this day and age)
5 Wingless Fire Dragons (The biggest of which is only a third the size of Smaug)
20 Winged Drakes (They are quite small)
65 Wingless Drakes
200 Newborn Drakes
Losses:
Cult of Glaurang Warband Losses: 39 000 Orcs
12 Winged Drakes
14 Wingless Drakes
2 Large Wingless Drakes
90 Newborn Drakes
Drakes take a long time to mature, so we dealt a massive blow to that clan this turn.

No Dawi hold dies easily to siege of all things.
Yeah. We have 3 turns worth of food stocks. 15 years of stored food. That's a hell of a long time for a besieging army to stick around. Disease, famine and spoiling raids from the besieged tend to wreck armies that spend years sieging fortresses.
I knew this was gonna happen I did warn not to put all our eggs in one basket and it didn't even have any overflow to other projects just managing guilds powers over one another which is not bad honestly but it does leave the taste of lost time but oh well we'll get them next time.

Yeah a few more turns of flaming the orc conflict and delaying the dragon cult will be good for us we need to futher Fortify next turn i want to build a siege mill to help with filling up the arti placements and takes time
Doing some nearby expedition into nogrod would be good
Does anyone have a good idea to name the new clan

What do you mean with "now"?

Nope. No major Dawi holds fell at all, the hill Karaks that did were not easy.
Yet the Dawi lost of their territories anyway which the vacancy was filled by the Umgi making themselves at home and formed nations post-War of the Beard.
Also r/whoosh.
