The storehouse was duly constructed, though at the moment they really lacked a surplus to store, leaving it mostly empty. The land receptive to their work and soon much of their surrounding territory had been turned into farmland, though it would take a while before these efforts bore fruits. The swineherds got to work, they took the pigs grazing among the woodsmen where the pigs feasted in delight upon mushrooms and other low vegetation, growing plump and fat. The swinefarms were soon built and the swine prospered. Tuskor returned to Goragh with important news. Following the river south they eventually came upon a hilly landscape. Upon one of the hills they spotted a watch tower and luckily it seemed they were not spotted in kind. Fortunately, the natural colors of the greenskins makes for natural camouflage and among the hills it was easy to hide. The party had continued forward, avoiding the tower to scout further ahead and perhaps learn who built it. When they reached beyond the hills and into the river valley they noticed a small village and spotted its inhabitants. They were dwarves, small and bearded creatures of the earth. Their village however was a sad sight and not what one would expect from one of the world's most famed races of craftsmen. The houses were ramshackle, built without much care or passion. They had also spotted pigs and it was the scouts' best guess that they slept together with the dwarves in their homes. The only notable building was the blacksmith in the centre of the main village. Tuskor made note that there were warriors among the dwarfs, who carried crossbows and wore what, at a distance, appeared to be mail armor. Their homes were spread among the valleys in the hills and Tuskor guessed that their total number was significantly lesser than the orcs' own.

Even waiting a couple of days they still did not arrive, which might concern Tuskor who had given them instructions that should have lead them to return home at about the same time.
