[MoonyTheHuman]

((That would be me who is the man, correct? Or are these not us))

[TheBiggerFish]

((No.  Because I'm the one who spoke.))

[MoonyTheHuman]

"Yes, why are you back here? Not everyone is allowed here.... What is your favorite thing to do?"

[TheBiggerFish]

"When did you get here?"

[Inconspicuous]

"I.. Uh... Err..."

The dwarf glances around nervously.

"I need to find the book. I've seen... some rather unusual things." He whispers in a hushed voice, looking behind his back between sentences. He looks directly at the man.

"There's more to this than you think."

[TheBiggerFish]

"What book exactly?  If you're a wannabe necromancer I don't think we have any of those around.  Oh, for goodness sakes, to my office/lab/whatever.  And then we will discuss this."

[Gwolfski]

"If you wanna be an engineer, talk to me. I'm gonna be downstairs."

Gwolfski heads down stairs, and sets up a steam powered pump to pull water form the lake into a tank. Plumbing time!

[chaotic skies]

"Well, well, a newcomer. Don't worry about Gwolf, he's insane. That's Net, he's Moony, I'm Chaotic, and this is mostly our madhouse."

"Hey...has anyone seen Porkins?"

[Gwolfski]

A shout comes from the stairs!

"I am NOT insane!"

[TheBiggerFish]

"He's just crazy."

[chaotic skies]

"Details, details. He's proud of being crazy though."

[Inconspicuous]

The dwarf, confused, looks around nervously, before saying

"I'm uh.... A little thirsty. I hear the water here is particularly good!" He stumbles over the words awkwardly, before running down the stairs to follow Gwolfski.

[TheBiggerFish]

"....I suspect vampire."

The dwarf is followed by a certain crystalline flitting something.

[Gwolfski]

Gwolfski sits down in his shack office. He pulls a prototype repeating rifle from his desk, and sits, stroking his cat.

I really should fix this place up. It is just dirt held together with planks and rock blocks.

[Amperzand]

The Newcomer finds himself in a dingy shack on the shore of an underground lake. In the distance, there are sounds of machinery and some kind of military drill. Large floodlights of some kind illuminate various important-looking things, and soldiers patrol the perimeter of the inhabited area.

Sharing the shack with him are a somewhat wild-looking dwarf with some heavy, complex firearm across his lap, and a mess of variously complex mechanical dross.
There really do seem to be a lot of soldiers here. There was talk of a war out this way in the last settlement, but it hadn't really sunk in. This place isn't a farming hillock or a remote mine, it is a border fortress, and one that seems to have drawn the favor (and military occupation) of the Mountainhome.
