I imagined the outpost as a hall carved out a little ways beneath the mountains or foothills, with the mine actually being a part of the settlement. The upper layers would be used for housing, workspaces, etc. while the middle sections would have been mined out and used as storage, with the very bottom layer being where they are currently mining.

Sweet, that was what I pictured the settlement as but I didn't want to assume. With that, I'll wait until their forces reach the lower storage levels before posting and introducing Xallihion, and maybe killing a few dwarves and orcs along the way XD
