At the fort, new staff have arrived since the party's last visit. A dwarf carpenter named Wilhelm, a Human Kennel Master named Max, and a new 8-person squad and their half-elf sergeant Stella.

Wilhelm will finished building the new rooms for the fort tomorrow. He also has upgraded the Sled significantly with runners. Jaromir asks Wilhelm to analyse the grout he collected, and the dwarf says it wasn't of dwarven make but it was hastily put together and of low quality.

Max is watching the 8 dogs at the kennel. William takes 2 of the dogs, Prancer & Dancer on the mission.
