Paper Foundations"Harford," muttered Bayar
"Rex and I have scouted the area, we have located two possible encampment sites, both of them in valleys. One of them is closer to the volcano, but the other is much further from the Kokror ruins... In my opinion..." "YOU WILL BE SILENT!" roared Harford, his actual age masked by stress.
"This is my expedition team. The thought that you even so much as have a nerve to tell me your useless opinions..." Harford stopped. Bayar, a goliath of a dwarf,stood mere footsteps from him. His temper was becoming apparent, and even Harford reworded himself in hopes of not having to deal with it. Before he had a chance to say anything, Rex stepped in. Her voice was monotone and somewhat emotionless.
"We will mine into the northern pass. It will provide us with both granite and a short distance to the center of the volcano," Rex smirked at Harford
"And I think I spotted some gold".
Work was slow, and the mountains did little to shield the dwarves from the harsh northern elements. Granite was removed from the mountain chunk by chunk, the clinging of pickaxe against the rough rock became a noise as regular as the sound of breathing. Bayar was gone most of the time, his lust for hunting never quenched. John and Nukedorf took shifts watching the Kokror titan, monitoring its movements. If it even so much as got a waft of dwarven scent, the entire team could be in danger.

Area Overview
Kokror
The very beginnings of the fortress. I am concerned about wood and water, since both are completely void in this map, and I am almost sure that the citizens of Paperscale with descend into a state of katocracy, with every man for himself. Food is less of a issue, Bayar already hunted down a few llama before I knew what was happening. I suppose this whole expedition is going to rely on the caverns.
I have to say, I am loving the nearby volcano though.
