Dang sorry to hear that the update gave you trouble.

I wasn't aware that the adventure updated had been released, all the stuff I'm seeing says the newest update is 50.12 still.

Whatever the update was it messed it up.

Dwarf Fortress - The Town Of Coldness - Migrants 

Unib Oiledsiege, Woodcutter and member of the Diamond Weights, was, at the moment, helping install the doors.  For some reason she was wearing a gabbro crown and a rhyolite crown.  And she was wearing a NEW wild boar leather robe over her pig tail dress.

Early spring had come.  But outside the water was frozen and snow was still on the ground.  The calendar said it was spring but the weather said otherwise.

The door she had installed was one of the new offices that had been dug out.  The Leader, and the Book Keeper, were getting sick of working among the crowds, noise, and smells of the first floor chamber.

After installing the doors she went to brew some sand pears.  She was...displeased.  She was missing friends, family, praying.  And also her two lovers were not in the outpost. 

And she wanted to acquire more items.  Not doubt why she was wearing two crowns.

She then decided to have a hen egg roast.  Which was made up of finely minced cow cheese, will-minced pig cheese, finely minced pig cheese, and minced hen egg.  So more like a two-cheese omelett.

She took it to the tavern.  And while eating her meal, which was a fine dish, she felt satisfied discussing her problems with a acquaintance.  In fact that acquaintance was Rakfil Catcrested the Human Poet who had been drinking there while enjoying a good argument.  But not too happy about the worms. 

Hey, that's what you get when you let turkeys into the Nut of Crafts.

Unib went to wash down the dish with a mug of Blackberry wine.  Which got her drunk.  Also she liked it for being a pretty decent drink. 

At least the room and board wasn't bad in this outpost.

On the 7th of Granite she went to see the Leader.  Where she cried.  She wasn't the only citizen who was displeased.  More than half of them were displeased.

Then, on the 9th of Granite, the elven caravan from Quithecaraca had been spotted.  Well, two elves and two pack animals.

The Leader ordered the inner door of the Depot opened and FOUR cut gems taken to it.  Surely the elven traders would have no issues with gems?  Right?

After the elven traders unloaded their wares the Broker, ingiz Swordtundra, traded them for two barrels, a grown hemp cloak, a rami robe, ten apricots, ten apples, ten pears, ten peaches, ten plums, and ten bayberries.  Giving the elven traders about 2736 credits in profit.

There wasn't really anything else the Broker saw of worth.  They didn't even have any books.

Funny.  The traders' pack animals had been a Yak cow and a male unicorn.

While this was happening Unib had been in the Unbridled Mark meditating on Thralldom.  Why she was thinking of slavery was unkown.  Surely she didn't think of herself as a slave of the outpost?

Outside, in the cold, the last remaining raven flew around.  With the spring had also come the Giant Flies!  But unlike the bird they were not interested in starting fights.

Then there was a surprise.  A elven caravan from Coce Rera had also been spotted.  Oh dear.  Another two elfs and two Yaks. 

The Leader decided this was not a problem.  Maybe they would have something the first traders had not?  The Leader ordered three cut gems to the Depot.

She helped move one of the gems to the Depot and then grabbed the new grown hemp cloak.

The Broker was called back to the Trade Depot.  As the first traders were leaving the second traders were unloading.

For the three cut gems the Broker bought up fifteen almonds, fifteen hazel nuts, ten pecans, five walnuts, five acorns, five mangos, five apples, five peaches, five plums, five oranges, a grown alder buckler, and two buckets.  Which gave the traders around 2807 credits of profit.

With that all the new fruits were being brewed Unib was working on cooking more lavish meals.  In this case she was cooking with hazel nuts.  You couldn't brew or plant them so you may as well cook them.

Then she got a drink of blackberry wine. 

Then something weird happened.  Migrants appeared from the north.  A Third Wave of Migrants?  How?

There was a male Miner named Dishmab Lanternbury, a male Weaver named Avuz Girderravens, a male Woodcrafter named Rakust Walkedgilt, a male Gem Setter named Dastot Bootbridged, a male Weaver named Zas Dentbolted, a male Lye Maker named Ustuth Deerarrow, a male Weaver named Sakzul Blazedcastle, a male Miner named Imush Zealtool, a male Hunter named Shorast Gearedswords, and a male Peasant named Deler Talonoils.  There was also a female Engraver named Led Ragclutch, a female Peasant named Zon Sabrescaled, a female Iden Tradeyearlings, a female Siege Engineer named Ducim Helmsdistinct, a female Carpenter named Ral Redbolt, a female Woodcrafter named Logem Slingclose, a female Woodcutter named Alath Coalrubs, a female Peasant named Atir Wheelbone, and a female Potter named Unib Doordrills.

Led and Avuz were married.  So a new bedroom would have to be made for them.  And they had a child, male, named Inod Wheelstheater.

There was also a male child who belonged to Iden.  Named Oddom Insightsarrow.  But there seemed to be no father on the records.

At least there was bedrooms ready for some of them.  All were were formed into one-dwarf squads.  Some would train in early winter and some would train in late winter.

The Peasant  Deler was also given the position of Performer of the Silvery Church as he was a follower of Alron.

They also brought a stray Blue Peacock, a pig, a dog, a bunny, a cavy boar, and a yak.

Unib was attending a meeting at the time of the migrants pouring into the small outpost.  Which was now a Hamlet!

The number of citizens was now forty-one!  Beds, cabinets, chests would have to be produced and bedrooms dug out.

Well, at least this meant more people to talk to? 

With all the new citizens the Leader decided the small library needed one Scholar and one Scribe.  Sazir Inkoceans was now a Scholar and Unib Oiledsiege found out she had been selected as the new Scribe!

She was going up in the world!

The mid spring came and some of the Diamond Weights went to train in the barracks.  Including herself.

The rivers were still frozen as the first day of Slate rolled around.

Author's Note:

So the update broke my game.  Well, let's see how long I can handle this.  If not I can try to see if I can't create a World of Bones 2.0!

Dwarf Fortress - The Town Of Coldness -   The Cast Part Four

And so the Third Wave hit the Town of Coldness.  And the little outpost became a Hamlet.  Which is not as tasty as it sounds.  Hmmm...hamlet.  Many were horrifed by the black bear dead bodies that still were piled outside the entry way.  Surely a bad sign.  But they were here now and had to stay.

First there was a male Miner named Dishmab Lanternbury.  Now, like many others a Militia Captain.  He valued self-control and was a thrill-seeker but hated hard work, knowledge, and power.

At least he was a talented Brewer and a accomplished Miner.  And seemed to be satisfied with his first work assignments.

Then there was the male Weaver named Avuz Girderravens.  Who was also now a Militia Captain.  He had poor social awareness and disdained fairness.  Also wasn't a family guy.

Which was funny because he was married to Led Ragclutch and have one child.  And he seemed to LIKE his wife.   Lovely father.  At least he could Plant as well as Weave.  The first thing he did when he arrived was grab some military gear. 

The next was male Woodcrafter named Rakust Walkedgilt.  Who was also a Militia Captain.  Who would have thought!  He valued cunning but disdained romance and wasn't dutiful.

He was a High Master Woodcrafter, a Adequate Weaponsmith, a Adequate Bone Carver, and a Novice Beekeeper.  Not much in the way of military skills.  Though he had been more than happy to grab all the military gear he could carry.

The next was a  male Gem Setter named Dastot Bootbridged.  Who was now a Militia Captain.  He even had some skills with Armor and Wrestling.  And was fearless.  And frail.  Oh well.

And he had a pet piglet.

Then there was another male Weaver who was named Zas Dentbolted.  Who was also a Militia Captain.  He valued cunning and was trusting.  He was tough and had good focus.  And was already making friends.

But had no military skills.  And was kind of weak.  So that could be a problem.

Then there was a male Lye Maker named Ustuth Deerarrow.  Who was, you guessed it, a Militia Captain.  He was distrustful but slow to hate.  And had SOME skills in combat.  Sadly he was also clumsy.

His first act was to go pray to Alron in the Silvery Church.

Then there was another male Weaver.  His name was Sakzul Blazedcastle.  And was now a Militia Captain.  He had good focus and high stamina.  He was also strong and quick to heal.  And was enjoying himself.  Making friends and watching performances.

And he had a pet dog.  Which should help keep him happy.  Unless somebody kills and eats the dog.

Then there was male Miner named Imush Zealtool.  Yes, now a Militia Captain.  He was frail but had high willpower and recovered quickly.  And for a Former Miner seemed pretty flimsy.

His first act had been to go pray to Datan in the Unbridled Mark.

Then there had been male Hunter named Shorast Gearedswords.  Of course he was now a Militia Captain with the coolest last name.  He was also a Competent Marksdwarf and Dodger.  Which meant he was likely the most experienced of the Militia Captains in the Third Wave.

He was already networking as he was now passing acquaintances with one of the Human Poets, the Leader, and another Militia Captain.  Maybe it was his high social awareness?  Yes, his first stop had been the Nut of Crafts.

 And the last male on this list was a Peasant named Deler Talonoils.  Who was, yes, now a Militia Captain.  As you could guess he didn't have much in the way of skills.  Though he had good spatial sense and valued harmony.  But he was also cruel and inattentive.

He was busy making rock doors and seemed happy so far.

Those are all males of the Third Wave.  Most were happy, some were upset by the dead bodies, and only a few seem prepared to fight for their lives against the wildlife and future animal folk attacks.

Our next chapter will deal with the females, and children, of the Third Wave.

That's not too bad.  But it took a long time filling in my notebook!  Still, kind of like the close-ups on the stat sheets.
