E/F) Explore/Improve Resources

What joy, the dwarves, mainly the ones who would be using it most, cheered at the news that they now had access to what was needed to make bronze. While a minor thing, they changed the name of the mountain the mine was in to Bronze Mount. And because of the settlement's position at the base of the mountains, they would immediately be able to make use of it. However, transporting and smelting it all would be much easier, or possible when it came to smelting and smithing, if they had a steady supply of wood. Wood could be made to use buildings, tools, wagons, weapons, and fuel for lights and forges.

So Arngir suggested that two groups head north, one of fifteen, armed for safe exploration, and another of eight, equipped with tools for building and resource gathering. The former group would be led by a goldbeard with much less experience than Echadon, and their task would be to head north as far as the mountain, the top of which could be seen over the trees. If anything would happen that would force them to turn back, they would do so. The second, smaller group was to cross the river and set up a logging camp at the edge of the forest on the other side.

A third and final group, another of eight, would be sent to the southern forest to see about setting up another logging camp.

[hider=Summary]
A group was sent to explore as far as they could north, the limit being the mountain to the north.

Two groups were sent to crate logging camps, one to the forest to the north and one to the southern forest.
