[RP Game] ALL THE SILVERSTEEL!

Duín struck a chord, and the band started to play.  Music filled the smokey tavern as dwarves quaffed and laughed and generally had a good time.  He surveyed the crowd.  Plenty of regulars, generally miners enjoying themselves after a day of silversteel mining, however there were a few faces in the crowd he wasn't familiar with. Well, soon enough they'd be dancing along to his music.  "When all you touch/turns silversteel/can wear you down/can make you feel/as if the days/have grown too long/and work is just/a form of sonnngggg...."  He sang. A commotion in the back made him stop.  Looking around, he recognized a dwarf with decidedly pointy ears, who was striding toward the stage.  Queen Auraya. Something was definitely amiss, judging by the worried look in her eyes.  [Link to the song Duín sings].

Queen Auraya was polishing her silversteel collection when she was interrupted by what sounded like a hammer repeatedly colliding with her front door. She went to see what was going on.

Standing on her doorstep was her friend Susan Calvin, next to Kilotov who was indeed wielding an excessively large hammer (and an excessively large grin.) There were some crater-ish dents in her door panels which she pretended not to mind whilst mentally making a note to visit the blacksmith.

"How many I help you?" She enquired through gritted teeth.
"Yoink would like to see you." Susan replied. Kilotov said nothing and merely continued his inane grinning.
"Did he say why?"
"No ma'am, just that it was urgent and we should get your attention."
"You have certainly achieved your task." Auraya replied curtly and stepped past them in the direction of Yoink's mine.

She had just arrived when Yoink grabbed her and pulled her into the shadows, making a 'shush' gesture.

"Thurs bin ah mehrder!" Yoink whispered and pointed further into the darkness. It took Auraya a second to translate the accent but when she saw the body of a young, female dwarf lying face down in the dirt, the meaning became clear. Shocked, Auraya went to the body and turned it over. It was Luna, a well respected citizen who had repeatedly assisted her in royal duties. Her throat had been cut and the smell was unbearable - the corpse was not fresh.

Out of the corner of her eye, Aura spotted a glint of something metallic. Her dwarves instincts called her to investigate and she found a knife, half buried under some rubble. Upon examination, Auraya realised this was not a dwarven knife.. it looked like it had been made by humans. Her worst fear had become reality, humans had infiltrated their precious home with the intention of stealing all the silversteel. She beckoned to Yoink.

"Gather everyone together. Tell them it is as we feared. The humans are here and we must find them before it is too late. Every other night, we shall hold a vote to try and find the culprit. In the meantime, dwarves should come forward with any information they have on the humans so that we may reach the correct verdict. I trust you shall deliver this message for me."
"Aye, mah Keen. Ah shall do as ye rekest." Yoink replied solemnly, bowing once to her and again to the remains of Luna before turning away.
