I must have blinked and missed something...
So, in Arodus (Year 1), Liela Wortherson was clearly pregnant, and the village population was 22.5
The next month, Rova (Year 1), the population went up to 23. Presumably that means Liela had her baby, yet there was no mention of this.(?) The baby was a round faced cherubic little girl that Liela named Tyra after her grandmother.
In Neth, Conroy Buslem (the father of Tyra) and Liela Wortherson have become engaged. Has the wedding taken place yet? Or are they waiting for their own cabin to be built?
Latham the Trader has taken the joke about the inn seriously, and proposes he build an addition to his 'trading post' to serve that purpose. When he's away trading, he's managed to talk Amira Velsking into tending his store. He' also hoping to get Svanhilde Velsking to become the 'serving wench' for his new tavern.
He's heading out to purchase the supplies for his tavern (enough ale to last the winter!), and he's 'hoping' the tavern extension will be finished by the time he gets back.
Devin is beginning to suspect that the Ironnose's 'allergy' is all psychological.
How did Devin find out.
More importantly, if confronted, his daughter will put on a blindfold and find the tinware in the store by sneezing.
Valid.
While Shale is experienced enough to just deny the allergy, his daughter fell for the fishing expedition. Now Devon knows about it.
I think I will name the daughter Garnet.
The minor power mutation allergy is homebrew. I'm not aware of any RAW only rule here. There is a rule that none of the townspeople are PCs. Aside from the allergies, that are central to the concept, you can have them do anything within reason in the month descriptions. You could have the next member of the family that's born turn out to be a hypochondriac who thinks they have the trait, but doesn't. Maybe a whole family of hypochondriacs moves here. Whatever is fun.

Why don't I make it a proposal:
Garnet Shale and Devin get into an argument over weather her father's allergy is psychosomatic. Shale puts on a blindfold, and walks into the store. A crowd has gathered and they start wagering about who is right.Garnet finds what she assumes might be tin, by sneazing. (It might be a copper tea kettle the store owner was holding aside to be used in the future inn.) After bringing the teakettle out of the store to the mixed groans and cheers of the crowd, her father, Shale, takes the teakettle from he, hands it to someone while sneezing violently, and drags his daughter home while grumbling about teenagers. Thus begins the villages tradition of solving arguments as a gambling event.

Warning, my spelling is very bad.
Leave no pun behind.

I like that. Mostly the “Thus begins the villages tradition of solving arguments as a gambling event.” bit – Win! - but I second the Ironnose family metal allergies as well. They better watch their back while surveying for metals now ;)
Arodus 4712 - Year 2 (August)
Meanwhile, the head of the Velsking family has probably become suspect of looking for something in the mountains. With events going as they have, he is probably paying more attention to the mountains that the Ironnose family has ‘not’ raided for stone. The eldest son, Feldspar Ironnose the second has built a forge next to his still, but that project has been slowed by the needs of the inn, foundation and hearth. New joke, “When is a levee complete? When you look up at it and say Dam!” Well work on that has slowed because of other stone needs. Mrs. Ironnose has slowed down slightly, because she is pregnant too.

All’s it’s serving is Felspar’s Iron ale, which is better than nothing.)

Cabin was built in barn raising style.
Crops were harvested and replanted.
Proposal
After goblins attack members of the Velsking family on the way to the mountains, under the cover of darkness, the head of the family, now Devon, because the previous head lost an eye, forms Velsking mining. Most able bodied Ironnose clan members join as employees. Warriors are hired as guards.
The Ironnose clan lets them(and only them) in on the tunnel they are carving out of the bedrock going towards the mountains. That's where most of the stone for the various buildings come from. The Iron King mine/tunnel proceeds. A larger forge is being built so metal doors can be made. These doors will close off sections of the tunnel when flooding occurs.
