Now that I know how valuable our Garthos is, I was trying to persuade few other dwarves to join our cause but it seemed like only stone workers cared about garthos. I tried trade some stones Garthos gave me but they laughed at me.
"These are from Mount Garthos you punks" Gnas vented my anger as well to them.
At least we got Darrak and his wife they are good blacksmiths and know their stones. I met few other new comers like me but most of them were looking around weapons and gadgets to kill humans with for their dungeons. Since Darrak mostly is a builder and her wife tools black smith, I wonder should we get a good weapon blacksmith as well.
"Master I smell him. Our general. I think he is in trouble." Gnas inquired the air around the street.
"Quick lead us to him" I was worried. He took the lead and we followed him to a back alley. There we saw our general spitting blood down on one knees and around him 4 constructs. Filled with emotions we jumped in and formed a protective circle.
"Oh so you guys are with him?" Someone looking from the shadows gave an entrance. "Then I hope you guys got the money he owes us."
"Damn it! This elf was losing money gambling in this casino" Gnas put pieces together.
"Stand down!" I ordered my team and went to the guy in charge of he casino.
"How much does he owe you?" I asked.
"Around 100 gold coins only."
"Dang ferrik! Let's just leave him" - Gnas
"Ya" - Andro and Agalac
"Fine, here's the 100."
"They also have my sword. COUGH!!" Viredeo tattled in half voice and pain.
"That would be another 100 gold. This elf bum sold the sword to buy in"
"It was only a security, I was going to win and get it back" Viredeo quickly explained.
I went up to Viredeo and said "is it worth it? We can buy 10 good swords in that price."
"That sword is one of its kind. It's worth way more than 100 gold" Viredeo seemed ashamed.
I paid the money and went our way.
[Gold: 980 - 200 = 780]
"I owe you some money I guess huh Spike" Viredeo scratched his head.
"What were thinking general? I thought you were the best of us."
"Hang on, I am not an addicted gambler or something. I just wanted to experience what I missed since I last lived but everything costs money and they are so expensive no aren't they. I needed some quick money and got into this trouble."
"Hmm..." I wondered if he was too proud to ask me for money. Should I lend some money to all of them so they can live their own life as well other than just be a slave or subordinate.
"I learned something today. I have not thought about anything other than my city and haven't thought anything about you guys. So I've decided to give you guys 20 gold each and have some time on your for few days until we are ready to leave."
"Yahooo!!!" all of them.
"Just remember one thing for me and I should have said this to you guys earlier too. That is, my plan is not only to build a city for humans, it is to build a home for all of us. You guys will own your land and your own homes. It will be as much as your city as it will be mine coz you guys are my family now."
Guys began to tear up a little and Gnas was like "That's more than one thing."
[Gold: 780 - 100 = 680]
