* Kobal was clearly not happy about leaving the 500 dwarves and men behind. Not only did his own officers have to persuade him again and again, no, he was almost dragged through the entrance to the lower dungeons. In the end it was his responsibility to clan and kin that made him turn his back on the last defenders of the Fort of Last Hope, never to be seen again.
Before leaving he spoke in length with Wessir and his dwarves - during times of waiting, listening to the pounding of the Cult's battering ram against the heavy doors to the inner keep.
Kobal made note of any next of kin, who were to be notified and asked whether such would be able to take care and make a living for themselves after the war. If not, he assured the warriors that he would make sure they were cared for. In most cases that would mean an invitation to live with the Runic Anvil clan beneath Mount Norand. *

The calendar event has been updated with a new starting time. Please sign up in order to give me a chance to plan for the correct party size. Also, only 4 days left. Do you have a strategy?

If we stick to the 21st of May, which we should (Saturday is the weekday with the best likelyhood of people being able to attend - even at late or early hours), I can move the quest to about 4 hours earlier or perhaps 2 hours later.
I will need A LOT of time for setting the stage, so that puts a limit on things.

// It will not be parallel to what is going on at the Fort of Last Hope. It will, however, be happening at the same time as the plot finale at Hilm Castle. People at the Fort of Last Hope can decide where they want to be.

So pushing it back 2 hours wont really help people?
Would 2 hours earlier be helpful?
We are currently trying to see if we can offer a slightly different time...

* Kobal calls a meeting of dwarves - and whoever wants to listen in - relating to the upcoming food shortage. Kobal suggests to send dwarves who have experience as tunnel scouts into the dungeon and tunnels beyond in search of food. They should be accompanied by gifted hunters or marksmen and groups should have a size of 6-8 people who can fend for themselves in case of emergency. The dwarves will know where and how to locate food - it may not be tasty venison and roasted potatoes, but when you are hungry you cannot afford to be picky. *

I suggest that this thread is kept OOC. I will continue to update it with information relevant for the questers. So, please start a new thread for your planning.

Argali pinches the cheek of the Thane to make sure it is him, and, whispering into his ear, asks him:
"Zh'azk poaziurlath urwa k'a ponururt urwa k'a aazhk'?"
// "What becomes of the blood of the earth?" //
Her look to him implies she requires a correct answer. * Kobal furrows his brows and whispers the correct answer into her ear - probably repeating it a few times before she hears it over the noise around them. *

* Taking a break from the fighting to get some food, Kobal seeks out Argali at one of the launchers. *
Argali. * He blinks as another missile is loosened with an audible TWANG! *
Coul' ye ask one of yer goiants ter pray fer some rattlin' an quakin' of tha' ground near our walls? Especially tha' west wall.
We got a feelin' 'em sappers be busy tunnelin' an' a good shake will loikely bring tha' soil dauwn on their heads. *he grins*
T'wont do much ter tha' Fort is mah judgement. Nay worse than wha's already goin' on 'ere.

* Kobal utters an uncharacteristic curse about messengers and the pits of hell and marches back to his post on the wall. *

* Kobal eagerly accepts the help of the giant shaman and the son of the earth - his reservations with regards to their race seemingly momentarily forgotten.
During a short break from his position he shows them the location and bids them direct their efforts at locating and helping to free the passages - perhaps using their elementals. *

* Kobal nods to Griff and heads to the barracks in order to begin his search for A) the oldest dwarf in the Fort, and B) the oldest living or most experienced stonemason or miner in the camp. *

* Kobal clears his throat and offers a suggestion. *
We coul' 'ave a crew start tunnelin' roigh' nauw. A few less 'ands on tha' wall wont do much of a difference. Also, 'em refugees coul' be put ter work. Oi reckon 'em woul' be pleased ter be able to help in some way - ter do their part, loike.
* He speaks to Griff. *
We wont be able ter tunnel a moile away from dis place, so it'll be risky to start movin' people outta dis Fort. It'll 'ave ter be done boi noight an' we will need some form of majical illusion ter cover it. Or sumthin' else alon' dose loines.
Hmm... *he eyes Griff*
Lad, you are connected ter nature loike few. Coul' ye sense whedder dere be airpockets below us tha' we coul' target whoile tunnelin'? Perhaps even Deep paths? Tha' woul' help us a lot an' we coul' perhaps start evacuatin' people in two weeks toime. Tha' way we stan' a chance ter git everyone outta 'ere in toime... Oi hope. Wait a minute... ye're nay Zigrum. W'eres dah lad? Its him tha' we be needin' fer tha' stonesearchin'... Sorreh lad. *he winks at Griff* Gettin' old 'ere.

* Kobal's excitement retreats somewhat and is replaced by a more calculating expression. *
Ye sure about dis? Coul' be a costly mistake, iffen ye wannae pursue it.
Bu' on dah odder han'... wha' 'ave we got ter loose from troin'?
* He shrugs, slightly smiling. *
Oi recommend ye signal fer palaver.
We can always revert ter odder plans aftarwards...

Kromlek stands at the edge of the meeting, still not comfortable being around all the important people. He seems to want to say something for a while and eventually blurts it out.
"Oi got a crazy idea loike. Ifn our job is too hold em here, an nauw we only got a month from dey dragon, do yea think dey dragon will level deh fort no matter whose in it? Oi mean, he killed deh Myr'drachs and deh drachs when he broke deh wall. Maybe he'd wreck deh fort no matter who beh in it? We could work teh hold deh fort and abandon it just before hes return an let deh Cult run in...just in toime for him to return and level it?"
He squirms a bit under their looks. "Just an oidea loike." * Kobal's eyes gleam as he looks at Kromlek and changes into common. * Dis be nay bad oidea cousin! Bloimey, aye, Oi see w'ere ye're goin'! * Kobal slaps him goodheartedly on the back. * We shoul' start tunnelin' already terday! We can do two fings. One is ter tunnel dauwnwar's goin' aftar a deep passage... risky though, since we're goin' bloind. Or we coul' tunnel dauwn an' outta dah Fort, goin' fer a shallow passage tha' will jus' let us leave tha' place. Aftarwards we will 'ave ter fend fer ourselves. Oi sugges' tha' a troup be set on dis task immediately. Also, refugees can be put ter dah task of creatin' puppets outta straw an' cloth ter be put on tha' walls in order ter make it look loike we be all still 'ere. *he grins* Iffen it works tha' red beast will per'aps take out a good number of cultists, whoile we make fer Hilm Castle an' tha' place of der main battle.

Nesar or Rael? * Kobal arches a brow. *
Please consider first how many citizens would be devoured by such a war. Innocents.
My reasoning for Molten Isle was that 2 evils in the form of Ractrafieroz and Fisterion will be replaced only by 1. Also, if Ractrafieroz is less cunning he is less of a danger, I would reckon. That would give our cousins, the Rhugal, an edge that they need.
Also, in the war this contest would require, kobolds, giants and perhaps deep dwarves on Molten Isle would be the casualties.

* Kobal nods solemnly at the explanations from Argali and Kromlek. *
I see. He is no better than Fisterion then.
The reason I ask is that I had pondered offering aid to this beast in toppling Fisterion. If this dragon was any less wretched, less cunning and therefore likely to be a better inhabitant of the Molten Isle, then I might have considered it. It seems that is not the case though.
For this aid I was considering to ask for its aid in winning this war.
