A Land Far Away

-report to the dwarven elders. Depending on how much favor we have with them, some effort should probably be made to obtain aid in practical form (armor, weapons of dwarven make?). If even the dwarves of High Home are hard pressed for coin due to poor harvests and such, I am prepared to give them funds to alleviate the situation.

-there are a number of areas in the ruins near High Home we passed over (rightfully so) in our focus to get to the goal; a return and thorough examination should be considered for several reasons:
1. the place was obviously once a dwarven hold and might be important to the local dwarves; clearing it completely of their enemies might improve our standing in their eyes.
2. chance for loot and information, clues that we may have missed
3. I believe there was talk about returning to more closely examine the table-like object discovered in a small nook on the lower level
4. we never found the source of the drums in the deep. If there is some evil we've not dealt with I would prefer to look into it, lest the dwarves enter the place expecting it to be mostly clear and find a nasty surprise.
5. restore any petrified dwarves (or elves, other long lived races for that matter) that might survive a transmutation back to flesh
