terrick would like to find the trap master T and see if he would like to accompany him on some more scouting of the tunnels and perimeter or the complex to see if they can find any information, as well as maybe take out some scouts that the orcs may have sent... if there is any information that terrick has found, then he would like to share it with the group whenever possible.

"Mi'lord, if we are on an official visit I think that we should publicise our first successes. It would be an idea to bring the weapons of the master Revolgrim that we recovered, those we do not have immediate use for I think we could do worse with than present to our hosts or one of his descendents if we can find them."

Some Clarification
The City is loosely ruled by a Council made up of the heads of the five Clans <Hurdrinn,Valkorim,Grentregh,Bremdarull and Temperlain>.
Prince Alembregh Temperlain is the de facto spokesman of Temperlain, so an appearance might be good. From what Terrick knows, Grentrigh currently has no real ruler, only a Marshall elected by the survivors of the Clan.
The Orc Lair that you raided was perhaps 3 miles of real distance away, with no direct connection as far as tunnels go, at least none that the dwarves had dug <on the maps>.
As far as close <known> enemies accessable via tunnels, there are three Enemy footholds withing striking distance that the Svirfneblin knows of.
One
A Drow outpost lies perhaps a mile away, along an old access tunnel leading to the Silver mines to the West. Estimate of Strengh is maybe 50 or so Dark Elves, although they are sure to have many slaves and other allies.
Two
A Duergar Stronghold has been established in an old Guard Station. Numbers are hard to tell, although there have been sightings of at least 30 Grey Dwarves at a time. These have Hobgoblins in their service as well, perhaps 50 of them.
Clan Bremdarull is closest to them and keeps a strong vigil.
Three
On the shores of a subterranean Lake south, there have been many Dwarves lost to something lairing in the waters. Kuo-Toa have been encountered, but suspicions abound that something darker and more powerful drives them.
As well, the Orcs <not the same Clan that you raided> that had attacked on a raiding mission when you first came to the City had dug a tunnel in. You could go and ask about findings regarding that, and perhaps mount a counter mission, although Alembregh knows that Hurdrinn was doing so when you all went through the Portal.
Clan Valkorim will most likely already be spreading the word that you recsued Kendragi and the human, as well as brought back loot (and a Giant head, Duranom grabbed it
).

OOC: Oh... I thought Temperlain came from elsewhere.
Btw, what about Hollim and Ghemdin Kendragi? Are they still around somewhere?
Okay, so there's a council. That means there'll be meetings too, right? Does Hembred (or anyone) know if there's one anytime soon?
Alembregh agrees with Wilphe.

Turlough's easy to find if ye know where to look. He's feelin' the pulse of the City's underbelly, at one of the small bars and taverns catering to mercenaries and other such folk. He knows the right connections and a few well-placed coins in places such as this can often find information that is not known amongst the high-falutin' nobles!
When Terrick reaches Turlough, he's more then happy to help him scout.
OOC: Darn, no giants! Turlough just got giant-bane on his weapon too! Can he hold off on his weapon enchantment until they decide where they're going next?

OoC: Yes, Temperlain is from South West of here. If you re-read the first IC post, it details all of these clans (except for Grentrigh) being from elsewhere, coming on a Crusade to liberate the City.
Next official meeting is in 3 days. You could call one, though, to establish yourself/introduce. Hembred suggests an outlay of between 500-800 GP worth of foods/drink. This would cover decorations etc...a sort of 'New Prince in Town' party for the Top Brass. The Council meets in an old Hall about a half mile from where you are, or, you could invite them all here.
As far as Hollin and endragi, they are resting (stated in the OoC).

"You wish a formal occassion my Prince? I am sure we could arrange an introductory meeting with the local notables, keeping them on side would I am sure be a worthwhile exercise."
"A quick raid to free some more slaves might look like an idea, to strengthen our allies ranks as we weaken our enemies. The drow would seem like the obvious target for that, though I wonder if the Hobgoblins might be willing to consider a change of employer?"

Terrick looks for the trapmaster. maybe they can find out where some slaves of the dwarven community have been take to, which could help the party decide if that course to free them would be the best action.

"I must confess, I am intrigued by the tales of some fell creature in the lake. However, I would advise against us investigating the area until I have had an opportunity to first examine the area via magic." Storí adds to the discussion.
"I am unsure if raiding the drow camp is a wise course of action. In my experience, the dark elves have well laid plans to counter any invasion attempts. Of course, I will follow your Highness where ever you feel we are most needed."
