"I will be happy to help, if you don't mind some company, Tommi. Master Gwaereth, in his great wisdom, designed me as a mechanised arcanic defense system. My idle mode allows me to stay fully aware of my surroundings while recharging my energy. So if you feel sleepy, feel free to get a well-deserved rest. "

OOC: Enseth takes place in the lookout and send ORB1 on overwatch, above the tower for the night.
 

"I'd be grateful, Enseth." Tommi, to his shame, realizes that he's not been too chatty with Enseth. Is it just that he's not really from Daggerford? Tommi doesn't know, but he knows Jyn would tell him to make polite.

"I have some hard cheese, if you..." Tommi lets the thought trail off, embarrassed.

Angis collected up all the fine dwarven axes, adding them to his weapon collection. They didn’t deserve to be fouled by orc hands.

“I’ll start a fire,” Angis said, nodding toward the hearth the orcs had been using. “Tha’ meat dunnae luik tae bad.” It looked like they had made a fairly fresh kill of a mountain goat and had been roasting it in the fire pit. Angis went over and stoked the fire to get it cooking again, and soon the delicious smell of roasted meat helped drive out the foul stench of orc from the dwarven tower.

While cooking the goat, Angis thought about what he knew of the area: For centuries, the Ironeater clan of shield dwarves had occupied the tunnels beneath Mount Illefarn and had mined the nearby quarry in the Laughing Hollow.
Nearly two hundred years ago, King Derval Ironeater declared that due to diminishing numbers, the Ironeater clan could no longer hold the tunnels and ordered the clan to disperse into the wider world. Most of the dwarves went
to Secomber and Waterdeep, while Derval and his brother Korin landed in Daggerford. (Derval's smithy is the finest in Daggerford).

Korin was never satisfied with his brother’s decision to abandon the enclave under Mount Illefarn, and after a century of argument, decided to reoccupy Mount Illefarn despite Derval’s edict. Korin recalled other shield dwarves who agreed with his point of view and marched back to Mount Illefarn to reclaim it, only to find their crumbling enclave infested with orcs. It took Korin’s dwarves three years to send the orcs packing into the hills. During that time, Derval refused to send aid, declaring Korin and his ilk to be beldarakin, (a Dwarvish word meaning “treacherous creatures.”)

Korin declared himself King Korin Ironaxe of the newly minted Ironaxe clan, further distancing himself from his brother and the Ironeater clan. He also gave his subterranean home a new name: Ironaxe Halls. The dwarves of the Ironaxe halls refused to associate with their "cousins" in Daggerford, and vice-versa. There had been no contact with the dwarves under the mountain for decades (as far as Angis knew). King Korin would now be very old if he yet lived.
 

Snake inspected the tower with the others , as soon as Tommi offered to take first watch he nodded, “Wake me when you need to, I’ll take the second watch.”

After that Snake slowly made his way upstairs to the covered lookout where he spread out his bed roll and stretched out to get some sleep.
 

Dandin stretched and looked around at the structure of the tower, wondering if it could be burned out, at least on the inside. "I'll take last watch. It'll give me time to get Hanar ready to go and prepare a little signal let the orcs know their tower's been raided by the goblins."

“Aye, I’ll take third then,” Angis said. He considered what he knew about dwarven history in the area. Despite being from far to the southeast, he had learned quite a bit from the local Daggerford dwarves in his years in the area. There was bad blood there, and no one had heard a peep from the dwarves in these hills in decades, if they even still existed.

Angis carved up the goat, handing out portions to everyone, before banking the fire so they would have embers in the morning and settling down for a few hours sleep before his watch came

Tommi starts his watch, making conversation with Enseth as they oversee the road and its approach from the battlement of the small tower. He props himself up on his elbows to keep awake, and truthfully he probably isn't good at even this.

He asks Enseth, looking irresolute, questions about what he remembers about being young, not knowing if "growing up" is a thing. When it comes time to switch shifts, Tommi is a little late waking Snake up, since he looks so comfortable curled up like that.

But [DM willing] he eventually does, and then finds a place to lie down that is not too uncomfortable, and he falls asleep.
 

Dandin thanks Angus for his portion of the meat and eats up, along with a pair of apples from his barrel.

On his watch, he does his regular morning routine and gives Hanar a special rub down and brushing to thank him for the hard work and bravery the day before. Then he wanders through the tower, searching for any thing of sellable value that hasn't been found already and isn't too heavy to bring along. He also checks for a way to bring the tower down, though being of dwarven make, and given his mercantile background it probably wasn't terribly likely.

OOC: I'm guessing a random Investigation roll for one or both.[roll0]
