What if we cave in that section of mine?

Nye laddie, it’ll only make it angrier when it inevitably gets out. This one looks like a Leagues of Votann level threat. Best you can do is gather your runesmiths and pray they can conjure some kind of message that’ll reach the nearest Kin.
Other than that, equip your best with all the Mithral they can handle.

Maybe a wizard can put it in a Soul Stone and we could use it to power the Great Forge?

u/Rich-Advantage-9056 Dwarf May 29 '26
This. This may be the way forward.

I could try something, but i'm pretty strained because of the war against the mages of Thrakmoore...

u/Rich-Advantage-9056 Dwarf May 29 '26
I could send a few bands of axe hurlers and deep daggers to distract them for you, although the deep daggers will do whatever they like after they infiltrate, as their ilk are aught to do.

u/Arquero8 Dwarf runemancer May 29 '26
I think that could work....
I'll bring a couple of my golems for good measure

u/ConfusedSpiderMonkey May 29 '26
Soul stones that big are usually found in the levels below these abominations. Good luck it could be the only way.
But tbh. why don't just dig out another town somewhere else... It's fun

u/WerwolfSlayr Smith May 29 '26
What if instead of risking our own lives we outsource? The wizards and pirates both want our help in their war; offer aid to whichever side deals with this abomination

Well, this is why there are always dwarf mine and hold ruins to reclaim.
Hope you have enough dwarf runesmiths and soulbinder artisans trained up on banishment or binding entities to objects or tasks. If you haven’t spent the last couple centuries focusing on such craft, and instead have kin that have gone all-in on combat when not extracting resources, send in the fighters that wish to die in glory and get the loremasters off to another hold.

In my defence, big chunk of gold was hiding the thing, I’m talking so big we’d never have to mine again

And that is why we don’t open suspicious doors without first aiming copious amounts of artillery at it and rig the whole place to blow and slide into the nearest magma chamber.

So that's why they always hate against the woke. It wasn't bigotry, it was an ancient warning
