Hargan Axeswingers pledge book
Ye first task be to slay an enemy of the clan be it Orog, Troll, or Orc. Take a section of hide from this foul beast and cover yer pledge book. When the task is completed look for a Stoutheart and ask for a signature. Good luck with this task! Also remember that we be planning a Clan pledge vs Stoutheart drinking contest. Good luck with that too, I been training fer this me whole life!
Rolph Ironbeard Clan Elder and Chief Prospector
I be signing in fer ya lad. Over the past few days you've stood beside me in battle, both in party and alone. You've shown some kindness to a young lass in distress without thinking twice, and you've been right respectful to someone who most won't give the time of day to (me!). So beyond your being a smidgen of a kiss-arse to old Balt, I'll toast to your health and stand for your station as Sonnilith.

Hargans book still sits upon the table although newly covered in troll skin and his name lettered out with the teeth of the goblin king who was master of a fortress deep into the dark.
*in a steady dwarven hand* drinkin and fightin two things i am good at and welcome the challenge of a drinkin test of bellies.

Hargan,
That's some mighty fine work you've been doing to dress up your pledge book. Good job. Just the kind of thing I like to see pledges doing.
I saw that Rolph mentioned in his section that we're planning a pledge vs. Stoutheart drinking contest. We're not all business in this clan, and can enjoy ourselves over a few ales and laughs. Show me you can have good some good times with the rest of us. Organize a drinking contest between at least two pledges and two Stouthearts, and win. You win, I'll definitely give you my signature.
Balt has already told me so many good things about you. Keep it up and you'll be a full clansman before long.

PS - Dorin needs another pledge to complete his mining task. Help out your pledge brother.

Hargan,
Since Dorin has gone missing, it makes your task of organising a drinking contest a bit difficult.
We've all discussed it, and we've decided to make you a full member. We're all proud to call you a Stoutheart.
I fully expect you to make good on your promise of organizing a drinking contest the next time we get a couple of pledges. Welcome aboard brother.
