Would be kind of amusing if the chaos dwarfs travelled all the way to vaults to attack us because they have a grudge on us for killing there infernal guard.
Wait do chaos dwarfs have grudges like regular dwarfs?

IIRC it is a fusion of the dwarfen grudge persistence and the human "get fucked!" formal grudge style.
They don't write that shit down with formal rules for recompense, they just whack you. With a slaaneshi daemon-infused bat from (literal) hell.

I wonder how our new Everpeak Mason clan is getting along with the Imperial dwarfs with the same specialization? I think that might be the first time we had two large groups one clan and one non-clan work on the same industry.

The Hochlander
Miragliano, Tilea
The Wonder of the Lower Kingdoms, the city where the rivers make their street. Miragliano is an old and storied city, and possibly the greatest rival to the Imperial city of Marienburg when it comes to trade, wealth, and cosmopolitan ideals. And yet like any city within the old world, it too has its fair share of dark, grimy drudgery. For the city of Leonardo, so carefully designed and built centuries after his death, this came forth in a street filled with such danger and cruelty that not even the Guard dare patrol it after dark. While all manner of illegal vice could be found here, it was particularly known for its tendency of violently murdering its inhabitants. The Street of a Hundred Sins.
Strada dei Cento Peccati.
The cloaked figure scurried above the street, avoiding windows and hopping between allies from roof to roof. Strapped to their back, a signature long-barreled rifle was loaded and ready. They kept pace with their target walking down the street beneath them. A large unit of tilean mercenaries marched down the street with their weapons out and ready, daring any of the dozens of peering eyes from the shadows to try their luck in harming their employer; a tall, slim man, wearing expensive black clothes and whos handsome face was marred by an ugly scar trailing over a milky white eye and a terrible scowl.
The figure paused its quiet pursuit, crouching down like a gargoyle as the unit began to slow down in front of a rather worn down warehouse. The place could almost seem abandoned until the front door opening, revealing a haggard old woman peering out into the street. Upon seeing the man in black, she stepped outside to meet him. Behind her, several young faces peered out from behind the door frame, children who none were older than twelve at most. The old woman began to speak frantically in rapid tilean, clasping her hands together and falling to her knees before the mercenary crowd. The wealthy and scarred man saw this before him and immediately stepped beyond the ring of his bodyguards and approached the older woman, reaching down towards her with a foul look on his face.
This was the moment the assassin needed. Already the rifle was unslung, the hammer cocked back and ready. Using the roof as support, the cloaked sniper took careful aim, their sights resting on the back of the man's head. Then, they squeezed the trigger.
Crack!
Brain matter was sent flying as the would-be snipers skull jerked as a lead ball crashed into one side and continued out the other. The snipers own jezzail went off, but the warp stone shot simply flew several feet over the head of the intended target, bouncing off the stone street and skipping a dozen feet more before finally resting in the gutter. Immediately the body guards moved into action, rushing forward to surround and protect Prince Flavio de Miragliano, with their body's, and by consequence the older woman he had just helped to her feet. Drawing swords and raising crossbows they scanned the roofs for any sign of a shooter when the corpse of the assassin tilted over the edge of the building and crashed into the street. A pair moved forward with blades and torches at the ready, reaching the body and nudging it over with their foot. They cursed in Tilean as the face of a skaven greeted them, half of it reduced to a bloody pulp by the exit wound of the lead shot.
In the distance, a flash of light reflected off of a sniper's scope from the top of one of the city's iconic leaning towers. It was an excellent shooting spot, great view of the closest thing the Tilean city had to a slum. The only problem was that the distance was far too great for most weapons to be fired accurately from, and even then most shooters lacked the skill required to hit anything with accuracy. Well…
'Most,' mused The Hochlander as he lowered his favoured Long Rifle and began the process of reloading, 'but not all.'

Bastard. How are you still alive?
Work has been good in Tilea. Boring though. Babysitter to Flavio 'The Most Kind, Charitable, and Humble' is a lot less fun than I thought it would be. Yeah, he thinks the name is stupid as well. Killed an Eshin last week when he was going to relocate an orphanage in the literal worst part of this dump.
Heard you were doing good work up in Solland. Thinking of relocating there when my contract is done here, especially with the dwarfs paying for bounties. They always pay, and usually for far too much than the bounties are worth.
How's the wife and kids?
The Hochlander
I dont know why but the Hochlander has been sitting rent free in my head for the last few weeks. Decided to get him down on paper so he stops bothering me. Enjoy!

easy.
Imperial Dawi are artisan stonemasons who can be hired to do small projects like individual home redecoration. Everpeak Mason Clans do big projects.

Perfect. Will they be able to help with the canal project at all?

Its mostly gonna be a fluff thing. There being a community of small-scale stonemasons in the hold who do stuff like individual home rebuilding,
To be honest I am just happy to have more dwarfs, their day job could be eating grapes and I would still welcome them.

I wonder if Garek is going to pick up any more apprentices. Having more apprentices for cheap labor is always good.

You'd be down to one Garek action each turn if he took another apprentice, due to all the extra time he'll need to educate them. Unless you wait for Selgrun to be sent away for her journeywoman travels.

@Mayto - would establishing some sort of formal procedure for demanding recompense for grudge be a possible action, to prevent the shit like one clan forcefully barging into another's hold?
Actually, considering how big a factor Reckoners play in the settling of Grudges as well as mediating deals and legal disputes...can this along with the Miner's Guild situation allow us to have a Diplo action to recruit a Reckoner?
Also idk one way or another but are the Reckoners a guild in their own right or something else, does anyone know?

I'm not convinced Reckoners exist outside of Torroars quest.
You have a point there, I don't recall seeing anything about them in novels or such. Closest I can find is them being a follower in Total war where basically act as taxmen.
An excerpt from the Mordrak wiki would support them just being financial tallymen

If you do a search with the keyword Reckoner, by Mayto, there are plenty of mentions in threadmarked posts, so I'm pretty sure they're a thing in this quest.

After brief inspection Reckoners do exist, but I think theyre a mix of tax collector and accountant. They 'settle debts' so I wouldnt be surprised if they also deal in grudges, specifically in seeing them payed out to all parties

Nope.
You don't to make rules for how grudges are handled. You don't have the status or authority to even consider that. At most, you can reprimand them afterwards and force them to pay for the repairs.
But the grudge will still be there. Even if you use your authority to force the Powderhands to pay for the repairs.
They exist.
But Reckoners are more a mixture of tax collector and accountant. Kings or thanes can send Reckoners out to find a Dawi who's done a misdeed and drag him before the ruler for judgement, send him out to collect compensation or taxes, or try to have them mediate a grudge.
But the big judicial courtroom from Torroar is fanon. Good fanon. But still

If you were to try to ban Clans from marching on the doors of another Hall and demanding a grudge be settled... They'd declare a grudge on you for obstructing their attempt to settle a grudge.
What is done automatically is the guards and other local Dawi showing up to force both sides to stand down, and making them take their grievance before you, after the fight is done.
