A large dwarf says, "Yeh, so, yer all gonna have ta get hammers and pound
dis iron inta sheets fer me while I dig the holes fer the foundation."

A large dwarf comes running in with a ladder. The sheer size of the ladder
compared to the stubby little guy is quite comical-looking as he nearly
waddles in.
A large dwarf sets the ladder against one of the poles and leans against it
for sturdiness.

You hear a loud scream followed by a particularly rancid bit of cursing as
the hammer hits something clearly not metal.
Dissipate rears back his head and lets out a honking guffaw that would
inspire envy in a donkey.
Diwern says, "Idiot."
A chunk of unused metal "falls" down and hits Diwern right on the head.
You exclaim, "That's what ye get, shorty!"

[Siege Tower]
A rough angled ceiling of thin iron plates arcs overhead, supported by thick
poles of iron that continue down to the ground that is far below. Planks of
wood make up the sturdy albeit rough floor, and a few small notches are cut
into the dark metal walls. The countryside expands out beneath you, its
terrain easily visible from this high vantage point. You also see a large
dwarf, a dark ladder leading down, a pile of white ora-tipped sharpened logs
and a large ballista.
Also in the room: Kenden, Scathel, Yviara, Landceal, Kryton, Kaeynne,
Mikare, Rhagni, Monax, Lord Dnus, Lord Diwern

You carefully line up your eye with the sight of the ballista and see...
[Wehnimer's, Outside Gate]
Citizens, merchants and assorted dregs of society jostle against you before
the great wooden gates of Wehnimer's Landing. Harried guards and militiamen
try to keep the chaos to a minimum, but it is hard to keep track of those
entering, let alone leaving, this large trading post. A dirt path encircling
the wooden palisade of the town leads east and southwest. Nailed prominently
to the wooden wall beside the gate is a sign you really should read. You
also see a ruined mud and wood barricade, a wayside inn and the wooden
gates.
Obvious paths: north, east, northwest, southwest.
