   Hail friend, and welcome to Bloodymine. Our civilization is in shambles, and the Mountainhome has been besieged time and time again. Due to war and famine, in the year 500, the seven brave dwarfs calling themselves The Death of Love embarked to these lands.

Please take note of our local laws:
1) We shall slay all other races. Every elf, human, kobold, and goblin that steps upon our lands shall be chased down and slaughtered.
2) The leader must follow the current mandate from Mountainhome.

RULES:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 If you wish to be a dwarf please give a name, job name, and profession and the current overseer will add you if they are able. Obviously it will be a first come, first serve basis.
Mountainhome Mandates
  I will set a general purpose of the fortress as it grows. (Example: If Mountainhome demands we build a great brewery, we shall commit all our time and resources to building the greatest brewery ever seen. If Mountainhome demands we drop ten of our dwarfs into magma, we shall hear the *kerplunk* of dwarf hitting magma by sundown.)

  Initially it will be survival, but then it will mature into harder feats. I will keep the current mandate on this first post so you can keep the goal in mind. There are other things the overseer must attend to, like killing goblins, and do while the dwarfs slowly accomplish each mandate so the mandate shouldn’t limit you but test your dwarfen skills.

Current Mountainhome Mandate: Obtain 30 war dogs, place them all within a cage and link to a lever. Allow the next goblin attack to meet the war dog wave first, followed by the militia if needed.

Past Mandates Completed:
Make a 5 z-level fortress. Instead of digging out rooms, plan the fortress beforehand and don't dig out the tiles that are to be the walls of buildings, and smooth the rock. The buildings are now made out of solid natural rock.      by Strategia

1st Granite, 500
We have finally arrived. We begin diging out a small dwelling in the mountain. Our herbalist begins gathering the plant life and our woodcutter clears the trees. Soon our mason and carpenter will build us furniture and it will be home sweet home.

2nd Granite, 500
Ral & Alath take their axes and shields to form our first militia titled Armored Huricanes.

7 Granite, 500
We test out our new militia and chase down a goat and slaughter it. The first blood has been split on our lands.


11 Granite, 500
We built our butcher and tanners workshop to clean the fresh kill.


23 Slate, 500
We have dug ourselves a simple little home. Crafting pots for trade, and a small farm for alcohol and food. Our furniture is on the far wall away from the noise and our storage on the north wall is safe from thieves.


30 Slate, 500
We have received a Mandate from the Mountainhome:

* Make a 5 z-level fortress. Instead of digging out rooms, plan the fortress beforehand and don't dig out the tiles that are to be the walls of buildings, and smooth the rock. The buildings are now made out of solid natural rock.

The paper needs to be given to the leader, but who will take the reigns of this young fortress and fulfill this difficult task?? http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=5820

[NRDL]

I don't want a turn, but can I please be dorfed?  Male, named Nix, swordsdwarf please. 

[Fishybang]

Ill take the miner! Named Fishybang

[Strategia]

Sounds interesting, I'll take up overseership. I have some ideas for fulfilling the mandate already. So I take it I have until the end of the year?

[Brewster]

Correct end of the year. I took care of most everything you'll need w/n first two months. So you'll be okay for the most part, I think you just need to complete a lever to the bridge and maybe outside farms if you want. I forgot to dwarf myself, you want to dwarf me as the Farmer. Name: Brewster Title: Brewmaster

[Strategia]

I forgot to dwarf myself, you want to dwarf me as the Farmer. Name: Brewster Title: Brewmaster

I dorfed both of you, claimed the architect for myself.

I don't want a turn, but can I please be dorfed?  Male, named Nix, swordsdwarf please.

I didn't dorf you yet because we don't have swordsdwarves at this time, only axedwarves.

Currently planning out excavations, 15x30x5. Here's hoping I don't accidentally breach any caves or something. Also, I'm being a bit..... literal..... in my interpretation of part of the mandate. It's a rather tall order, and I'll do my best to get as far as I can. Then again I have a habit of making things hard for myself.

5th Felsite 500
So we're currently in a hole in the middle of nowhere, trying to build a new future for the dwarven race. It's been two months now, and although we've already dug ourselves a basic, functional living space at the urging of our brewmaster, Brewster, he seems more than content to just brew booze from here on out.

Bugger that.

I didn't come all the way out here to die in a stinking hole in the ground, sleeping and eating and farming and keeping animals in the same room! I came here to create, to build, and most of all - to design. So I've decided to replace our glorious leader myself.



I'll let him stay on as manager though, could be useful.



He didn't seem to mind much, in fact he gave me a piece of slate with instructions from the Mountainhome. They were in code, but he was kind enough to tell me what the first entry meant. I am to dig out a fortress 5 floors deep, and smooth it out. Well, that can be arranged! Off to the drawing *claystone table*!

6th Malachite 500

Digging proceeds..... a bit slower than I'd hoped. Maybe that's to do with the fact that the miners, Fishybang and Momuz, have been spending a lot of time sleeping, drinking and taking their union-mandated breaks. This had better improve..... Fortunately, a bunch of blithering idiots arrived on the 26th of Hematite, and I've put the more useless ones to work smoothing out what the two lazy buggers have already dug out.

[wastedlands]

Is there anyway you can post the dwarves stats? Would like to get a good look at their personalities. (heh heh heh)

21st Galena 500

Digging proceeds apace; first-stage excavation is almost complete, and since I put most of the useless bastards (and one brilliant architect) in this place on smoothing duty, the stone is starting to look beautiful alrea
A kobold thief pair of kobold thieves has been sighted near the entrance by one of the fisherdwarves. I have dispatched the militia with orders to bring me its head their heads.`

22nd Galena 500

Sadly, both kobolds fled when they saw our mighty dwarven militia approaching. While this did mean they weren't able to steal anything, it also means that our militia was denied two easy kills. The commander and her recruit both say they're fine, but I know they're fuming inside at being denied the opportunity to kill this vermin.


19th Limestone 500

Stage one excavation is finally complete. Now the miners can join the other idiots in smoothing the walls and floors.


[OOC] And I can go to sleep.

[wastedlands]

Would you mind dorfing me the child Dishmab and renaming him to Tallyho? This seems like it could get to be interesting.

[Fishybang]

Hehe Im your lover

[Brewster]

1 wood bed, 1 wood bed, 1 wood bed, 1 wood bed... who the hell are these all for!?

[NRDL]

Change me to an axedwarf please, I just wanna crusade in the name of the Mountainhomes.

Done.

Hehe Im your lover

What can I say, I was young and I needed the money

1 wood bed, 1 wood bed, 1 wood bed, 1 wood bed... who the hell are these all for!?

Are you..... engraving manager orders..... on a slab of adamantine?.....

Change me to an axedwarf please, I just wanna crusade in the name of the Mountainhomes.

You are now the militia commander, Nix the Murdersmith.

6th Sandstone 500

Smoothing isn't going quite as smoothly (har har) as I'd like. This could be a bit..... problematic. Migrants have been sighted though, so we should soon have a whole bunch more useless idiots to help smooth these walls.

7th Sandstone 500

Scratch that, it's just two idiots, a kid and a mule foal. Dammit.

21st Sandstone 500

Tragedy! Poor dear Fishybang fell down one of the alleyways he was digging out in the underground city. His head couldn't cope with the fall down onto the smooth stone floor, and now bits of his brains are scattered everywhere! He never was a very organised dwarf, I have to say, so that might be why he dug out the floor from under his own feet..... Alas, poor Fishybang! I shall build a tomb for you on the lower floor of the luxury apartment building!

18th Timber 500

A caravan from the Mountainhome has been spotted in the distance. Hopefully this will alleviate our looming shortage of food and drink. I've already had to order Brewster to brew every brewable we have, and I've had to slaughter the two yak bulls. Smoothing is not proceeding on schedule.
