The Adamantine Warrior
« on: March 03, 2007, 10:33:00 am »

This is the tale of Stukos Anrizmorul, one of seven dwarves who set out to build an outpost in the hot, haunted forests of The Mythical Spike.

We didn't know who he was at first.

I was in the tavern with Cerol and Urdim again. It was the same old same old, we were joking and drinking and having fun.

"Hey, Stukos, Urdim, remember that one time when we were kids?"

"Could you be any more vague?"

"Shuttup Urdim, you know what I'm talkin' about."

"Yeah, yeah I do. Why don't you tell everyone, Stukos."

"Hey, why do I always have to tell the stories?"

"Shuttup and start talking!" Cerol yelled out, half drunk.

I had just stood up on the table when he came in. He was with Erith, and they both walked right up and shoved me off the table.

"Hey, what's going on? What's with the table stealing, Erith?"

Erith hopped up on the table while he leaned against the wall. Erith threw his arms in the air and started yelling to everyone.

"Hey, you drunk sacks of ogre shit, we've got a little proposition."

I see someone is using my deathworld  :D Glad to see it in action!

Also, uhh, don't you want some seeds? It'll be interesting to see how this turns out, your starting build is very different from my typical one.

It's a very solid build from the wiki. The herbalist gathers, then the brewer converts each herb to 5 booze, then the cook turns the booze into five cooked meals. That method turns 1 herb into 5 food (6, if you count the seed). I've gotten more than 200 cooked meals by the end of year one with this build, with over 300 booze.

Oooh, I see much potential.

I just wonder how you're going to deal with the issue of charicterization when you get a wave of 20+ immigrants...

The story is bound to be interesting, but what I must know is are you going to be duplicating that tomb? ("Pics. Now." was pretty much my reaction upon reading that too.  :D)

Seriously, how many statues would spelling something like that take?

Yes, I will be.

It took over a hundred statues and sarcophagi, but it goes pretty fast with four legendary metal crafters completely boozed up.
