Spoiler: The Cannibalistic Celebration of Dragon Misfortune (click to show/hide)

Three Human farms are built an consequently burnt. The Dragon relishes in the Humans' reckless expansion and returns home to his lair bearing great bounties of grain and Human flesh. As the Dragon is about to climb his mountain of treasure, he realizes something off: there is no treasure, apart from his most precious possession. As the Dragon is fuming with rage, three Kobolds sneak behind him and grab his new plunder, then rush down the mountain to their camp. Just as they clear the great stone gate, the whole former mountainhome is filled with fire, with it spurting out of fissures in the mountain. The Dragon has been robbed clean, and all he can do now is sit with his crown and ponder as to why the Kobolds didn't take it. Down the mountain across the gulf, Kobold drums beat heavily through the whole night and nearly all of the island's Hobbits join in the celebration. The heap of gold that was stolen is distributed between the Kobolds and Halflings so that nearly every civilian of either race has one or two gold possessions. The long-held Hobbit captives are finally released, and are met with a joyous celebration (that they were too weak and unconscious to enjoy, but still!), while the Dwarves reach weakly through the bars of their cage towards the golden objects as huge rocky tears roll down their cheeks and into their beards. During the party, the Dragon watches on with a rage more furious than is even possible in most sentient beings. It flies overhead, leaving giant scorch marks over the plains, and eventually lands on a farm on the Halflings' frontier. It burns the fields and kills all of the children, who were left behind while their parents partied hard. The Kobolds witnessed this from afar (they have extremely keen eyes), but did not tell the Hobbits (not wanting to spoil the mood). GruGru Rak whispered to his thieves to keep an eye on the lair while the rest partied. The Dragon returned and was ready to enjoy the fruits of his enemy's slaughter, but that too was taken from right in front of him. He sprayed fire everywhere, but the Kobolds had an almost magical agility about them and they made it out without any injury. The dead children bits were added to the communal pot of stew without any of the Halflings noticing. They all agreed it tasted delicious and the Kobolds just told them it was the dolphin offal none of them had bothered to try yet.

[Grek]

On a diplomatic note to the dwarves: How does 5 food and the release of the dwarven prisoners (along with a bit of gold!) sound in exchange for claiming O-14 for the kobolds? Do we have a deal?

E: Or, in addition, an exchange of technologies. Fishing for mining and mining for fishing. A fair trade, yes?

[Ship of Freaks]

I formally request the dwarves get to mining if they don't want me to do it myself. I am interested in trading for coal and iron.

According to my calculations, you only had 22 Population at the beginning of the turn. One fishery was not built. Also just in case you were going to try this: Stealth Maneuvering will not protect you from a volcano. The world just doesn't work like that.

Spoiler: The Conniving Kobolds, Gullible Dwarves, and Unremarkable Elves (click to show/hide)

Two Elvish fisheries are raided by the Dragon. The food is consequently stolen by the Kobolds. The Dragon is beginning to starve, and has taken to hunting blue whales out in the ocean. The Dragon, in his newly low self-esteem begins to fear the Roc more than ever before. He can hear the Roc screech whenever he rests in his lair, and sees the Roc (hard to miss, given the thing's basically the size of a mountain) off in the distance whenever he goes flying. Meanwhile, Kobold diplomats meet with the Dwarves in their mountainhalls. GruGru Rak apologoies profusely for the mistreatment of the Dwarven captives (most of whom were dead by now) and blamed their horrible state solely on the Dragon (read: he lied). Along with the released prisoners, a huge (well, huge for impoverished Dwarves at least) bundle of dolphin fins. The Dwarves were oblivious to the fact that most of the atrocities committed to their kin were inflicted by the Kobolds themselves, and the aforementioned kin were too weak to speak up. Because of this, the Kobolds were praised as heroes and Grek was shown the location of a small cave jutting from the side of the Volcano of Anguish. When Grek and his entourage arrived at the cave, a pack animal was sacrificed (as is Kobold custom) and made into a throne for the chief. Grek had a horrible grin on his face as he looked out from his cave on to the nearby human lands, and the fell laugh that followed caused most of his subjects to leave due to severe discomfort.

Comment: It is disheartening to know that even the masterful GruGru Rak cannot hide himself from the face of death, nor steal the fury of a volcano from the bowels of the earth. Yet.

A count on how many thefts I have stored up on the dragon would be wonderful, if you can provide it.

On a diplomatic note to the Dragon: In exchange for the Crown of Unconditional Loyalty and your vow of eternal peace with the kobold people, we will gladly leave you your food from here on out.

On a diplomatic note to the Humans: I would ask that you extend no further east than the Sandy Spire at the heart of the great desert. Those lands belong to the kobolds.

[Immortal]

Grek I would request that you do not impede on the mountain, my ceding of land to you is a show of trust.
I would also prefer this for all others. If you want a mine, by all means just ask.

I intend to claim nothing more in the dwarven mountains, only one plot adjacent to the Volcano of Anguish and the other, from which to retake the former when the Volcano erupts. That said, I would greatly enjoy it if you were to claim some mines and work them, so that iron and steel can be forged and used against the likes of the Dragon, Kraken and Roc.
