Well, since dwarves view coffins and sarcophogi as pleasant features that properly honour the dead, a centrepiece for the dining hall or putting it in a little alcove.
If Urist chooses that the gold should be made into a tribute (to both Norrec and her deity), I'll do that. If not, for the time being that will have to wait and we'll have to make either a wooden or a stone casket.
I'll shift my schedule around anyway:
00-01: sleep
01-02: be awoken to general ruckus; take the opportunity to mix dwarven rum, pure alcohol and water in equal parts, to properly honour the dead (should create 3 drinks); drink 1 of these servings, eat some Sandow stew
02-04: with Tholtig, set up forge with +1 table, +1 forge tools and anvil
04-10: get Tholtig to stoke the fire; take a copper bar, smith butcher's tools (an array of copper knives), as I had planned to do with the now-dead Norrec
10-12: take a power nap
12-13: pray to Hipobis Giltgold, not as a follower but for help delivering Dwarven justice to the perpetrator and for Norrec to arrive safely with the dragon
13-14: early meal of pit worm meat and more of the drink I mixed earlier
14-22: hardcore, TAKEN-TO-THE-NEXT-LEVEL, all-out digging of the Northern room
22-24: drink the remains of the drink I made earlier, collapse in the tend and sleep
Tholtig, I hope you don't mind stoking the fire for me; I can't imagine setting the forge up will take 4 hours if we're both on it.
On the design of the eventual golden casket (whether with the current gold or at a future time), I feel it should be in the image of a great dragon, its wings encircling and concealing the corpse of Norrec.
Finally, I believe the proper traditional punishment for Mikhail is to be caged, stripped, and then to have the cage dropped off the cliffs or into an arena pit full of goblins or monsters. Thus, I have voted for imprisonment.
