"Okay. How do I go about arranging that?"

"I can arrange and advertise it for you! Typically an event planner takes ten percent of the proceeds from organizing an event like this."

"That sounds like a lot but I'm not sure I'm calibrated for local event planning."

"You are welcome to walk around asking people if they'll do it for you for less!"

"Is it not weird to ask random passersby things like that? At home I'd probably go to someone who specifically advertised event planning."

"We have books of that content but I don't know how many of them are printed in Quenya."

"I know Thindarin too. But not your language."

"We don't teach our language to outsiders. I'll find you an advertising book written in Quenya, I'm sure there's one somewhere."

"Okay. Thank you."

And he finds her an advertising book in Quenya. It has a section for event planners. Their rates vary, but 10% is at least the modal commission.

Huh, all right. - What other sorts of things are advertised in here?

Places to stay! Food! Shipping! Books! Apprenticeships! Weapons and armor! Clothes!

Is there an obvious way to get blood short of leaving every day and hunting?

Dwarves don't keep animals for agriculture, or advertise a service involving live ones, no.

Oh well. She can eat regular food and go out sometimes to hunt.

She accepts the event planning offer from the random Dwarf.

The random Dwarf books her a packed hall of people interested in a lecture on medicine.

And she lectures them on it! She is not sure how much of it applies to Dwarves, but some of it may.

And they can sell products to Men, so it's useful for that, too!

Yes, there is that.

Hopefully after this is all squared away she can rent a place to sleep and expect to be able to buy food of some kind in the morning?

She has more than enough money to rent a place for a while and get food every morning, delivered if she likes.

Maybe once she's better acquainted with the selection. If they don't keep animals it may be hard to find high-protein stuff.

Very good! Sleep well!

The army reaches Nan Elmoth that evening. It's in disarray at the murder of the King and several candidates for his successor. There is resistance, but not very much of it. Findekáno is happy.

Elspeth tells the Dwarves about printing presses and plastic and photography and tries to meet the right people to figure out whether and how to give them physics too.

She can talk to the governing council, if she has something that'd require a public works project. They are not big fans of public works projects, though.

Why's that?
