If I have to tell those miners just one more time to -avoid- wasting their
time and precious iron tooling on mining the adamantium inside Dori's
Warrens I might just light my beard on fire.
Of course it's valuable! Of course it's the hardest substance known to
dwarfkind. Don't we all know that? One would think this was the first trip
out their clan hall, the way these greenbeards act and think some days.
And yet by the mayor's decree we are to trust in their judgement, because
they are 'closer to the stone' than the rest of us. What lout would say a
miner is closer to the stone when we all live BENEATH A MOUNTAIN RANGE?
The next time one of those wankbeards swaggers into my tannery and demands
his britches refitted, I might just let them out to dry in the stables
'afore giving them back.
