You know, it occurs to me that I listed helms in Reg's preference list when I did a mock DF mood screen for her. I'm not sure if I'm psychic. I suppose I should put it to the test.
Now, to get all of my Wild Mass Guesses off of my chest...
!!Reg is now a proper swordsdwarf (novice in swordsdwarf) rather than merely a recruit!!
!!Holt will bestow a title on Reg for her slaying of the creature of the night!!
!!Reg's title will be somewhat old fashioned and at least a little bit embarrassing to Reg, the kind of thing an aged, grandfatherly dwarf like Holt would consider a good title!!
!!Because of their detour into the lair of a night creature, Reg and Holt arrive at Shielddawn after Misty and the other migrants have been "processed", and are told by the dwarves at the door that nobody of Misty's description arrived with the last group!!
!!There will then be a timeskip of a few months or so!!
!!During this time, Misty will be put to work in the mines of Shielddawn ,perhaps as part of a crew of haulers assigned to move mine carts full of ore up from the depths!!
!!Misty being stuck down in the depths of Shielddawn is part of some higher conspiracy!!
!!At some point, perhaps via overhearing gossip from the guards or one of the other "laborers", Misty learns that the only living master (legendary+5) of the cheesemaking skill is none other than the necromancer!!
!!Misty will hatch a daring plan to escape Shielddawn, and, at the insistence of the couple who came to Shielddawn in the same wave as her, rescue their son from Shielddawn's "Daycare" program!!
!!We then return to Reg and Holt at the Mountainhomes just as Misty's plan is reaching a critical moment!!
!!Reg is now a proficient swordsdwarf!!
!!Because of his failure to keep an eye on Misty, and because he took the blame for the two getting lost and wandering into a night creature's lair, Holt has been politely asked to retire!!
!! Holt's replacement turns out to be a well-meaning but sheltered and horrifically under-qualified nobledwarf with an influential Count (who may have a goatee) for a father who negotiated him the position to keep him the as far away from any actual fighting as possible while still making him think he's in a position with actual responsibility!!
!!Awkward moments ensue between Reg and her clueless new boss!!
!!Then we hear screaming and fighting: the mountainhomes are under attack for the first time in decades!!
!!Back to Misty, because cliffhangers when switching between the perspectives of the protagonist and the (apparent) deutragonist seem to be a tradition at this point!!
So yeah.
