In any case, that strange mood reminds me of something: if a weapon/armorsmith gets into a mood, can we try to ensure that they use a metal that's actually useful in warfare (Thane instantly gets possessed and produces a lead halberd).
Thane's favorite metal happens to be brass, and I believe that metalsmiths will demand their favorite metal if available. If there are adamantine wafers smelted, I think that they will automatically choose those.
Gnora glared intensely at Dantheman after he finished asking his question. She was not at all pleased that he had decided to throw his food at her, and she was even less pleased at his continued mispronunciation of her name.
"My name is Gnora," she huffed, "Frankly, you've been a real pain lately, always snooping around and making a fuss." Gnora made a face to indicate her disgust, then turned began to clean the globs of cheese from the walls behind her.
Dantheman shrugged and began to walk away; all that he really wanted was some fresh meat. As his foot-steps began to sound, Gnora began to collect herself and think about the Sir Brenzen's current actions. Could he, like the nobles in her old fortress, be attempting to phase agriculture out of Demongate? Would her migration be for nothing? She turned and quickly began to run in the direction of the other dwarf.
"Dantheman!" she called, "Wait up!"
Dantheman hesitantly turned to face her; he was not eager to be yelled at again. He noticed, however, that Gnora no longer appeared to be mad, but rather concerned.
"I think that you're right -- not about the meats but the cheeses. I came over here itchin' to make my work meaningful, and now instead of drinkin' my home-made beer, this Brenzin fellow is importin' everything from the humans. I do declare that this behavior is downright... noble."
Gnora paused and began to ponder for a short time, leaving Dantheman quite confused as a consequence.
"Listen, I don't know much about this 'order' of his, but I think that Brenzin is up to somethin'. I reckon that he's eager to turn this expedition into his own little duchy, and his 'knights' are just the force he needs to accomplish such goals.
"Don't repeat any of this; it's still a little early. Still, I think that we best both keep up our guards, in case Brenzin tries to pull another stunt."
Gnora left the bewildered dwarf in a hurry, hoping to return to her work.
Dantheman shrugged again, and began to leave.
