The lava fisherman

event Rubble (Forge) · Events (all zones)

(uncommon event) You find an old dwarf sitting on a pile of rubble on the lava. As you approach he greets you: "Hey youngsters, you wouldn't happen to be amateur fishermen by any chance? You see, when I was young and the Forge was active, I used to come fishing in the lava of the volcano with some friends... With a little trick of ours and a steel rod, we learned to fish even lava blobs! But now there is only me left... I often come to sit here near lava to remember them. So, do you like fishing or not?"
