In my exploration south I have discovered a Coal Mine. It is claimed by some rogue dwarfs. Dwarfs are scrappy fighters and best to be avoided at any time. But to fight 11 of them over just a coal mine is definitely dumb at this point. I am moving on.
Olgothu reports running into 3 large lobsters. If he were alone Id worry but I think his shambler bodyguard can make it safe just to move past those.

(side note: at this point we are 16 turns into the game.
The actual game actions have been a couple of mouse clicks to move a piece, then hit END turn. Only a couple of minutes in real time. I want to make it clear how much fun and how much story happens in a short time)
