<p>The final case to be heard!</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Third Case: Lord Vortman vs. Rune Barrow</p>
<ul>
<li>Vortman is a human with an long ancestry of human lords living in dwarven lands</li>
<li>Vortman, ruler of a planet in a system being destroyed by the Dark Tapestry. He negotiated for safe passage of refugees with Orcs, using a spaceship that was recovered and restored.</li>
<li>He saved many people, but while flying away, the reactor began to melt down, and he sacrificed himself to stop the melt down, despite others volunteering and being capable.</li>
<li>As a result of his actions, the three factions aboard the ship (Kingdom of Altmor, Golden Tribe, Xiang Tse), upon landing on a planet with hostile natives, fell into disarray, and eventually died out.</li>
<li>The dwarves accuse him of neglecting his responsibilities. Had he not sacrificed himself, his people may have lived.</li>
<li>Soul slated to be sent to the Boneyard, instead of in the Rune Barrow</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Sheila G, Yamson, and Twistfuck are asked to help with another case!
<ul>
<li>Dwarf sex: sanctioned is great, under-the-table is fine</li>
<li>A mercenary, very skilled, would offer his services for coin, alcohol, or sexual favors. Often, his asks for coin or alcohol were excessive, and thus he would often garner favors.</li>
<li>In the views of humans, were his actions considered criminal or acceptable?
<ul>
<li>All agreed not criminal</li>
<li>Yamson believed guy was total scumbag</li>
<li>Twistfuck believed guy was fuckin’ rad</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Harvey reads a book and takes some notes about loopholes in soul contracts, <em>Poorly Thought Out Dwarvish Soul Contract</em><em>Notes.</em> Boobons takes some better notes about it.</li>
<li>Twistfuck reads a book and takes some notes about the quality-control manual for forging, and scribbles down a handful of dwarvish forge-quality definitions.</li>
<li>We visit Magrym!
<ul>
<li>A dragon, Nuripites, stole one of Magrym’s runes. It imbues the dwarven race with protections during childbirth. In exchange for returning this rune, Magrym will return Cayden Caylean’s soul to us.</li>
<li>The intention is to try and restore Cayden Caylean to a mortal realm, and try to direct him towards his destiny of divinity.</li>
