Dialogue[]
| “ | Sentinels hear noise emanating from the deepest cellar of your citadel. They find a grate made from the magical metal called iron. Dwarves moved aside a rug that has been covering it, perhaps for generations. You come upon them as they assemble a bizarre and sinister device.

Consequences[]
If you attack, select who leads the attack. The dwarves make a fighting retreat; injuries likely with possible casualties, with possible Mood increase. As a follow-up, decide what do with the device:
- Break it apart with hammers and chisels.
- Call on squirrel spirits to nest inside of it.
- Evacuate the citadel.
It's possible for the squirrel spirits to refuse, dropping mood and forcing you to choose from the other two options. If you evacuate, a crimson mist may eat away at your citadel and fortifications; after it dissipates, the machine is gone and the grate replaced.
This follow-up functions much like the stand-alone Dwarven Device event.
If you offer them a gift if they relent, and give them a treasure, they say this represents a down payment on a debt long overdue. You then lose a treasure (you may choose which one) but they agree to leave, taking their strange device with them. However, they insinuate that they may be back at a later time.
Notes[]
Indeterminate if the mood increase for attacking in the dwarves is dependent on choosing the Ferocity virtue during Clan Creation.
