Those aren't really that usefull. Perhaps we could buy a (jet)block from the shady dwarf, and construct things with it untill we're a novice mason? Masonry would allow us to construct walls and other usefull things on the fly.

What is our purpose in this fort? Do we wish to gain enough money and/or dwarves to come back and take over our old fort? Did we come over all this way to simply live like we used to in our old fort, (basically living off the backs of others like a noble and not serving any true purpose to the fort) or do we want to actually do something of value?

Nerin doesn't have any sort of aspirations at all, it's up to the voices to lead him onto an interesting path. Otherwise I might aswell just write a novel right?

That was more of a rhetorical question to get the readers to say things.

If that's the case, well, I personally aspire to take down the warden, and possibly most(if not all) of the fort.

Edit:
The survival of brewster supercedes the above.

I've been thinking, shouldn't we ask for an audience with the nobles, give them the news about the fall of our fort and demand (as the last dwarf alive and hence the rightful heir to the title of lord of the glittering caves) to be dispatched with a military escort to go bring the news ourselves to the mountain home and officially claim our noble title?

While the idea would be great in general, no one knows we are here except for the few who we spoke too. I don't know if the risk of something bad happening to us is greater than the probability of the nobles helping us. It is definitely better than talking to the warden though.

Migrants are generally picked up by the warden as soon as they set foot on Black gate territory... The problem is that all the regular migrants- Gem setters, Potash makers, Wax workers and so on are forced to choose between starvation and a life borderline enslavement.

[triato]

ask about door vigilance. We came in unseen so we could go out the same way. Maybe take someone with us like the adventorous dwarfette. This place is awfull.

On the otherhand we could play the gray man by changing our apearance to make it as average as posible. This in order not to get noticed by the system. We could run errands for anyone we can and continue making contacts, finally we start a revolution and kill all the nobles.

[slowpokez]

Not a single concrete suggestion so far 

I guess I'll come up with some options just to get things going

[xominxac]

Get a job, get some friends, find out whats going on, ask to see the nobles. (How come theres no option to see the nobles?)

Fix'd

[AfellowDwarf]

If we go to the prison, we should nab some candlewax on the way. If we're going for the old lady, we should grab a weapon(knap a stone?)

Also, what's the difference between the two 'tell the nobles we're a fort leader' options?

Edit:
A risk with presenting this amount of options is that we might get a widespread answer, with a large shared first place, like what what happened with the drinking poll in the first few days. But let's see what happens.

Edit2:
Anyway, I say we go get then elf(And the gobbo, ofcourse. Gobbo's are usefull.). He's our best shot at dethroning the warden at the moment.

The polls don't like having more then 5 options... You if someone should know that I've had some trouble with it in the past.

Well that's the problem with being insane! Too many wills and only one body, the awnser is of course to convince your fellow spirits that your pick is the best.

Good idea.

Ask for a map:
The miller's wife seems sceptical of us. I doubt she'll let us have more freebees beyond dinner. We might as well ask, though.

Ask for a job:
Neither of them have the authority to grant us one.

Go home to the room:
We've just slept, and the fire investigation might still be ungoing.

Explore:
The warden is hard on thieves and we had better avoid contact with dwarves unless neccecairy. There is nothing we can search for.

Go back to the prison and save our comerades:
The more helpers, the better. We'll also get access to elven skills(Hugging trees into items, riskless animal training) and gobbo skills(Basic military skills, brainwashing and kidnapping). The elf also presents us an opportunity to bring the wrath of the elven forest retreats upon the warden. And the both of them ar sentivores, allowing us to dispose of evidence easily.

Convince the nobles that we're the leader of our old fort:
Announcing our presence and power to the warden is a reasonable suggestion. Sadly, we lack the dye to paint a target on ourselves.

Back to the brewstry:
Our job will take place later, and we haven't got enough funds to buy stuff from the pipedwarf. We don't need food either at the moment, thanks to our benefactor.

Create 'wasntme' by going fell on the old woman:
We need a good weapon for that. We might be able to choke her before she alerts anyone, but her husband might be home.

Lora leaved? 
I wanted to force her to show us where the magma-flooding lever is...

[AfellowDwarf]

That's quite a few chapters ago.

I know, I know. Just saying.
There should be an option to go on break for few months, then throw a party near a statue of dwarves being eaten by FB... ya know, for "DF feel".
