Tasrak: Those bloody morons over there haven't found a scrap of real or yet.
Epson: We don't need swords, we got enough mastiffs to eat a whole battalion of goblins.
Tasrak: Yeh, have you ever seen a mastiff bite through iron?
Epson: Wul, no, but good 'ol Kog back in the mountainhalls-
Tasrak: This was the same Kog that sold you the damn dogs in the furs place, whadn't it?
Epson: O' course! I buy all me dogs from 'im.
Tasrak grabs a piece of diorite and hits Epson with it.Tasrak: YOU STUPID SHROOM HEAD! HE TOLD YOU FLAT FACED, GRASS GRUBBIN' LIES! YOU SPENT HALF OUR COINS ON THE DAMNED THINGS, AND FOR WOT!?
Epson: They can bite through iron O' course!
Tasrak: CAVE SWALLOW SHIT THEY CAN! They barely killed that barn owl that flew in here yesterday! And we stuck 'ere, with copper, a bunch stupid, wrinkely faced dogs, goblins to the west, undead to the south, and caves fulla murderous beasts below!
Epson: Wul when you put it that way....
Dobar: We're gettin pretty close to tha tetra'edrite over there.
Nix: Yeh, but then we gotta go back up to diorite to dig out the bedrooms for the migrants...
Dobar: Ya think we'll find anythin' else down 'ere?
Nix: Whaddya mean? We found tha caves already, and we can get water and seed down thar.
Dobar: Yeh, Yeh, but I mean ore. We need a better kinda iron than this load a rock! The only way we git iron out of it is when we scrap the slag outta the bottom a the smelter! And then the bars are coarse, an we can't forge outta that!
Nix: Heh, I dunt think we'll be doin much forgin any a time soon if Epson had his way with the coin...
Dobar: Well whaddya mean?
