On finishing it

Captain Baerdun Ironguard
Captain Ironguard says, "The King has been so wrapped up in defending the walls from the undead that I have had trouble getting experienced troops out this way to help deal with the kobolds. However, it is heartening to know that the Cleft is still full of dwarves who love their home and are willing to fight for it!" "Take this reward...you have more than earned it. While this fight is far from over, I have a feeling in my very bones that you will help defend our home, and drive those kobolds out!"
