AernJardos has heard a new rumor. AernJardos is taken by a fey mood!
Listen closely now and I will tell you a story.
Way, way, back when GoldSilver was new... oh, was it only 4 years ago? Wow, time flies. Anyways, there once was a dwarf named Glass, our very own blacksmith, who became lodged in a
House of Evil tree. Now this fellow went everywhere with his faithful Charizard and his trusty anvil. Glass always said, "a blacksmith without an anvil is no blacksmith at all." So one day when he chanced to find himself firmly wedged in a barky predicament he was not without the tool of his trade and his loyal companion.
RedMageCole the Overseer of that Year shouted for Glass to come down. "Come down, come down, we have many blacksmithing works for you," said RedMageCole. But Glass could not come down, for he could not abandon his anvil. So RedMageCole said, "Charizard, Charizard, bring Glass down, we have many blacksmithing works for him." Charizard flew up to rescue his friend but try as he might he could not budge Glass, for Glass would not leave without his anvil.
Then wise RedMageCole said, "Nopal, Nopal, strike down this
House of Evil tree that we might free Glass, for we have many blacksmithing works for him and this is getting quite ridiculous." Nopal took an axe and with a mighty blow struck that
House of Evil tree and freed Glass and the anvil from its fell clutches.
That, young dwarflings, is the story of how GoldSilver rescued the Gift of Armok from the accursed domain of the elves.

Everything goes smoothly, until disaster strikes!
Bullshit there isn't! It's in the freaking wagon! Where else did you dumbasses put it!? Up a tree!?

Can I ask something, Glass?
How did you get stuck in a tree!? With an anvil!? And why are you not flying your Charizard down!? Why!? Just... How!? Why!?
Paddywagon Man eventually gets him down by making a makeshift ladder out of wooden upstairs, and you know what happens? They make the down stairs, right? No! These dwarves, all of them, just completely and inexplicably forget how to lift wood and starts dragging the damn logs at 1 tile per million frames so I have to wait forever for them, and just... how!?
I need a drink.
Summer, Galena 28
9 days and nobody's moved the log further than 5 tiles. I decide fuck it and have Nopal just cut the tree down. If Glass drowns, I'll just redorf him.

After reteaching Nopal how to use an axe, Glass is finally rescued along with that anvil. Finally.
How many dwarves does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Five; one to get the lightbulb, one to rescue that dwarf because that dwarf just got stuck in a tree, one to teach the rescue dwarf how to use his very own axe that he's been using for an upwards of 10 years, one dwarf to actually screw in the lightbulb, and one to get another one a very stiff drink.
