Meanwhile, Kuruharan was in a bit of a bad mood. At that moment, he was exiting the casino by a side door. The words of Lord Dimli still rang in his head.
"I’m sorry Kuruharan, old chum, but I can’t afford to give you your share of the take right now," the mocking voice intoned. "I have many expenses. Besides, you brought a very unseemly group into my little establishment and some of them have been causing problems. I fear that the Board might have to bring your status under review."
"Status under review my foot!" (The actual word used here is genuine Khuzdul and the translation is uncertain. We decided to place the word "foot" because it tends to convey the general meaning of the sentence.) Kuruharan muttered furiously to himself as he stalked down the slope.
As luck and the plot would have it, the enormous river that appeared on no map that Orogarn Two had fallen in happened to pass nearby.
Looking up at the enormous dam that provided power to the Ham Steep Resort & Casino, Kuruharan smiled and started leisurely trotting in its general direction.
