[Mad Jackal]

ok. in order of preference.
instead of tiger meat I'd like one of the following

cougar
jaguar
leopard
black bear
grizzly bear
barring that
any other 6 point meat ?
or a 4pt meat and a turtle.
ok ?

[Jreengus]

ok then cougar it is

[Armok]

Hmm... maybe Bog Komra (read it backwards).

And for starting points...

...

THE HORROR!!!!  

Well, spend some points on miner, mechanic and, as I am a complete jackass, soaper, no just kidding, maybe... metalsmith, no wait! Engraver! What fits the inventor style, like Blitukus? And buy some mermaid meat.  :roll:

[Jreengus]

ok so far you are competent mechanic competent miner and competent engraver which comes to 54 points so you have 29 more to spend not got mermaid meat (can you actually get it?) so what do you want? dont need to specify a number if you cant remember points just pick some stuff and ill get as much as you can have of it

[Armok]

OK, will do.
Maybe some other odd thing you can find looking trough the item list, mermaid meat, for example, if Toady didn't remove that bug.

[Jreengus]

cant find naything that wierd in there just normal items

[Grek]

What if we start the fortress in the new version? I'd have to pick some different skills, but it would be cool.

If we do, I suggest a fort next to the ocean and make me our brewer/butcher/cook/fish cleaner.

We need more dwarves, we're at 4 after over 4 hours.

To change names I think you have to enter the game, select the dwarf, profile, customize, nickname. That should do it

[EDIT]
Make that 6 hours

Do we start with only 5 dwarves or wait till tomorrow?

Maybe we name the other two Toady One and Threetoe

[Sukasa]

I'll join.  I'm more of a tradesperson or technologist myself.  Oh, and I like ranged weapons and ballistae, if that helps you to decide my skills.

[Sparksol]

Hmm, a miner, a jewel/glass/gemcutter, building designer/mason/wrestler, mechanic/miner/engraver, a...tradeperson/technologist who likes ballistae and ranged weapons....

Toss me in, if you haven't started already.
18 points each in cooking, brewing, and either farming or herbalism, whichever will work better on the chosen map.

The rest of the points in seeds or food.

[Jreengus]

OK starting equipment is:

Dwarf skills:
Kira (THLawrence): Proficient miner
Grek: Skilled gem cutter Skilled Jewler Skilled glassmaker
Mad Jackal: mason building designer wrestler
Bog Korma (Armok): Competent miner Competent engraver competent Mechanic
Sukasa: Proficient Engineer Proficient Operator Marksdwarf
Sparksol: Competent Grower Competent Brewer Competent cook
Me: No skills (didnt allocate myself any points)

Lets get this show on the road!

Well we are finally here, just a few weeks ago I was a pennyless dwarf with no more than a pick an axe and an old minning claim to my name. I have managed to convince 6 other dwarves to help me mine this mountain for its mineral riches. Starring up at the cliff face I realised what a momentus task this was, Kira strode up to me and offered me several sets of plans he had drawn out for defending our new fort. Although I secretly doubted this Mountain contained enough mineral wealth to attract more than passing notice by other races i looked over the plans and quickly agreed with him that the third one was the best, he set to work clearing out the damaged stone from the front of the cliff, building us a basic cave to store the food in.

8th Granite
I had heard tales of undead around here before but doubted them however i can no longer deny that the groundhogs here are not alive, I have had Mad Jackal build some doors for the cave, I meanwhile have been working on building us some beds while Bog Kormas has created some mechanisms which with a little effort could be used to drop a heavy rock on anyone entering our cave.

14th Granite
With the cave complete and the doors in place i have instructed Kira to dig deeper into the mountain, maybe it will contain some natural barier capable of stopping these undead, even if it does not we are unlike to strike minerals sitting in a cramped cave twiddling our thumbs
       

17th Granite
We had quite a shock today as a skeletal groundhog approached our workshops, the majority of us were terrified but Mad Jackal proved her worth beyond doubt as she stood her ground against the creature tearing its bones apart, she is being hailed as a hero!

26th Granite
Success! We have hit silver!
   

1st Slate
We have hit a river in the mountain Kira was caught in the flood which came pouring down our mine but apart from getting a little wet he is fine, i have noticed that in the shallower areas of the flood much mud has been left behind, when the water retreats I shall have Sparksol begin farming.
