I kind of like this: a game opening this early. Good!

Three nice moves (Runi, myself and Lord Durin), trying to clear the view from the dwarves to non-dwarves in the very beginning. Very nice indeed. But also very much in a tone of in-character (or in-story). Easy to begin with and as such not so serious. Still a good place for a wolf to hide within, or then not. Too much in the open, I think.

Then a nice move by Dori88, making us note it and to give an air of clearheaded and quick-witted innocentness to him. That too is quite light, but a bit more serious.

Then I suggest we look also Dori88, still a light one, but a step more serious again.

With this start I would be keen to look at those not able to take off the in-story stuff early enough. I think you know my ways...
