The legendary ingenuity ofthe Dwarfs is manifest in | the variety and sophistication of the outer defences. Finally, the invader will be ‘confronted with the readied defences of the hold itself, which ae impervious to anything other than long siege. Depending on the circumstances, the king may choose 10 take the bate 10 the invaders perhaps emerging with his mustered throng from hidden gates to strike by surprise.
