You settle at N14.
As you arrive you bore a small cave into the rock, and your heart takes roots. You pump for the first time in the real world.
Quickly four pillars arise at the corners of the cavern. You are surrounded by solid rock.
Blackroot Cunnings takes a meditative seat on the floor. She pulls out her icy blue book of summoning and draws a chalk circle on the floor. She begins to chant.
The floor is begins to glow. She manages to summon 4 Icelings. Dog sized insectoid humanoids. They walk on their four hind legs and have hands with fingers that can build a perffect pickaxe. They are easily scared, and not good fighters. While they are quite hard, they can be easily flipped on their backs and be rendered useless. Two icelings can dig out 1 room per turn.
Blackroot whispers to you:
"I have few tools at hand, and do not understand this mighty work. However if we create a library and a summoning circle we can find out new summonings."
Assets

4 Icelings
Primitive Library 4x4 Room for research. Holds 1 researchers slot.
Primitive Summoning Circle 4x4 Room to Summon. Can automately create 1 Iceling or be used by a summoner to get more out of it.
Now give your creatures orders. But beware they might find the unexpected on the other side of the solid rock...
For now you can either order Blackroot to research her book or to continue summoning.
