Then noobies and you among them gave the oath not to break Akrulaban laws. It was a pretty standard set: do not kill, do not steal, do not brawl and destroy, do not hinder artefact creation, work hard for the good of the fortress and protect it fearlessly is case of danger. Sinsot was calling names from his journal and waited for answer. When it came Nux's time you realized that he is not in the hall. You had a bad feeling but you calmed down 'cause Sinsot looked surprised too. He whispered something to the year of the dwarf right to him, he also whispered an answer and shrugged. Obviously Sinsot wasn't pleased with the answer.
- Well - he interrupted an awkward pause - a kobold will live among us. His name is Nux. You can distinguish him by blue pants. If he does anything suspicious tell me immediately. If you have a reason to think that a kobold you met is not Nux - you know what to do.
- So - Sinsot turned a page when he finished his list - officially you are assigned to the rooms on the second living floor. Anyone who haven't settled yet can occupy empty rooms. There is enough place for everyone. Now let's proceed with main part: as you know we faced goblins ambush. It was just a small squad but never the less we weren't ready for it. So the first thing is we form a military squad. Urist and...
- Sir - warrior jumped up and stood at attention.
- You are assigned as military captain. In you squad - Sinsot took thought for a moment - "Omristkurig" you can take Atil Kitigagek, Nasod Kindok, Kadol Mafolgirtol, Datan Tosid. Urdim Stagrumat, Tok Buketotilm and Kadol Izegdakon are in reserve. Train them once in a week, they have to join squad in case of attack. Also you can take Dunan Enentrag as an archer in case you need him otherwise let him hunt. Check the stockpile, make a list of equipment missing. Make sure reservers have full set of. Visit me with the list tomorrow. Got it?
- Yes, sir! - Urist was clearly happy with such appointment.
- Also, after recent incident, which i hope we finished discussing, we have no medic. And that problem became even worse since we have an injured in the hospital. Sodel, I assign you to the chief medic position, you can take assistants: Bomrek Likotolon and Tunam - Sinsot coughed.
- You know I know little in that stuff - he answered.
- Like everyone else here. After all I not giving you our wonderful lama as a helper hoping it appears to be a medic also. Look through records, search Ivety's room, I allow you. I'm not demanding a result just do what you can.
- All right - Sodel agreed - I'll try.
- Minkot Delerrit, Cilob Tosid - Sinsot continued - you are assigned to magma smelters.
- Hell No! - masked dwarf shouted - you can kill me but I won't go to that hell!
- What is this - a very familar grimace appeared on Sinsot's face - you are our only steelmaker!
- And also I almost burned in that place! - Cilob wasn't soothing - I won't go close to magma ever again.
- Very well - Sinsot frowned - what about coal fueled smelter?
- If it is far from magma, it's ok i think. Thanks Boss!
Further distribution was much more calm. You and engraver Urvad were assigned under the leadership of experienced Urist Rumadkab to builer jobs. Plans were to build furnace, to recontruct a small part of mine into a graveyard and the main task was reinforcement of the wall.
Glib woodcutter Tulon volunteered to provision wood which would be burned into coal by Morul under the leadership of Cilob.
Urdim Belbezdurad volunteered to be a recordkeeper and Sinsot agreed.
Then Sinsot told about plans to construct traps on the fortress entrance, using service of some local engineering genius, urged craftsdwarfes to work hard to create enough goods to trade with autumn caravan from Arol-Iton and also told about intention to form an alliance with lake city - Akrulaban's south-west neighbour.
When the meeting came to it's end Shasad approached you.
- I see you've settled here well. The last thing left is to go "the-place-you-asked-to-lead" - she winked - or I'll just show you the living floor?
