[HQ Ignorance] Scene 49: Dam and Damnation!

[Lev Lafayette]

Kalen Ironhand looks around with some frustration as
he tries to build the dam.

"Argh, there be no way I can contact the brothers in
Iron Mountains. None that I can think of anyway".

"If I were a Rock Dwarf, p'rhaps I could craft these
rocks in a fashion. Now that I do remember something
of" [Marginal Success: Roll 6 vs Resistance Roll 15,
Mostal Culture 17]

"If I were a Silver Dwarf, I could cast some mighty
magics to build the dam. Actually I do have some
common stone and earth-shaping magic; every good
Mostal does" [Marginal Success: Roll 3 vs Resistance
15, Common Mostal Sorcery 17].

"If I were I Tin Dwarf, I could issue commands to a
gnome elemental to help us from the very earth
itself!" [Major Success: Roll 10 vs Resistance Roll
17, Mostal Culture 12 (17-5)]

"If I were I Quicksilver Dwarf, I could build some
copper lines to act as conduit for our Mostal sorcery,
and thus build the damn in double-quick time. I saw
them do it once; I think" [Marginal Success: Roll 3 vs
Resistance roll 4, Mostal Culture 12 (17-5)]

"Say, pot-plant, You dannae have any copper wire lying
about do you?"

"Ahh, I'm just an Iron Dwarf. Building damns, it just
isn't me. I'm a warrior, and one of the best there
is... Say pot-plant... I do have some special magics
for Chopping Down Trees with me axe... Could that
help?"

And with that, Kalen sat down despondently.
