[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 8080582, member: 7015827"] With the division of the hoard resolved, Koll Wallbasher stepped forward and stated that he would be in charge of the recovery expedition. He said that once Helrud thawed out, the dwarf scout should be able to guide them to the site. Koll was interested, however, in whatever dangers might remain there. Shanni and Darrow both mentioned that some rock beasts might have been missed, but no serious threat remained within the caverns. Dermot highlighted the fact that the swift-flowing stream they must cross was treacherous. Darrow also advised to bring climbing gear, as it was a dangerous descent to the gold. Koll thought that was all valuable information and informed them that along with a squad of guards, they would bring a group of miners to engineer what was necessary. He stressed the need to plan carefully and told Prince Dalgan that he expected it would take a month to complete the transfer of the hoard. Dalgan agreed with his war leader that the clan should be careful in the endeavor, noting that the hoard had lain at the bottom of the pit for countless years, so a month more would not dull its luster. Dermot interjected that the adventurers should be able to return by then. At that moment, High Priest Iskar formally asked Prince Dalgan for permission to speak. Slightly surprised, Dalgan of course agreed. Iskar raised his voice so it would be heard clearly throughout the audience chamber, proclaiming that the Clan had witnessed great deeds, accomplished by clan members and dwarf-friends, all under the wise leadership of the Prince. He affirmed that as the High Priest of Moradin, it was his honor and duty to guard the soul of the Clan and to give the word of Moradin upon its leadership. Dalgan started slightly at this and Dermot turned a quizzical look on Iskar. The High Priest addressed the Prince, saying that the signs and portents were clear, by the vision of Moradin granted to him. He then pronounced that the period of judgment was now over and that the Clan would have a King once more. One month hence, he declared, they shall hail....King Dalgan! Rahnee and Dermot tensed, looking around the hall for the dwarves’ reaction, while Shanni just looked confused. Dalgan, after a moment, told Iskar that he was gratified by the High Priest’s words. Darrow bowed to Dalgan as Iskar declared that the Prince had proved his strength to lead the Clan, and none should deny it. Dwarven nobles started cries of “Hail!” which were echoed by Darrow and Dermot, as Rahnee curtsied low to the Prince. Iskar turned to the company and told them that they should witness the coronation ceremony a month hence, should they be able to. Dermot and Rahnee responded in the affirmative. Prince Dalgan asked them if they had any further words, before the Council was dismissed. Rahnee responded by saying they would take their leave, to attend to other affairs, and return in a month's time. Toran Goldfinder, whose face had grown redder during the announcement, interjected by saying that his happiness lay beyond words, and he would like to make a request. Dalgan indicated that he could proceed, as Darrow’s eyes narrowed and Shanni fixed her gaze on the clan treasurer. Toran began by saying it was important to the Clan to trade with the outside world.
