Okay, so, I've decided to take on dwarven storytelling. Along with my first megaproject. We're nestled in a 2x3 rectangle, a forest valley between two bits of a mountain range. I'm hoping nothing will be able to sneak in from behind because it's set up like:

Feel free to ask to be dwarfed, and vote in the polls! I'll try posting from a bunch of different dwarves. The POV depends on the current action.
I plan on starting on the mountains directly behind the gate as another challenge fort, for the arpee reasons.

We've arrived at the place we're to build the wall. It's less mountainous that I expected; I hope this doesn't raise any problems as we construct the barrier to protect the mountainhome. We're establishing ourselves just behind the wall so we have at least a small foothold in order to begin the actual construction. Only seven of us made it. At least we still have a few miners, a mason, and a planter. A woodcutter made it along too. Hope he likes making beds.
I've ordered the woodcutter to start chopping down a swath of trees to make room for the wall and gatehouse, and am working on how I want to lay out our little hole in the ground.

So I've figured out how we're going to do this. It'll be easier for production if we seperate ourselves into seperate castes. Farmers will be working in the only soil level, and be living in the stone layer directly below. Underneath them is where the masons who will be doing the actual building will live. Beneath them is the start of everyone else's work zones, and there will be four. One will be the block-making masons, another the furniture masons and mechanics, then woodworking and crafts, then anything requiring furnaces in the fourth square. The miners are currently digging out our quarters - We will be occupying the farmer's quarters until our respective living areas are established.
