Okay, now that I know about that Alt+PrtSc thing it will be easier to upload pictures
since I wont have to do as much editing to them to make them look okay... Here's part one since I just did about an hour of playing.
1st of Granite:
What in Armok's name did I just walk into here? They said at the good ole MH that I was being sent over to Bloodymine to do some simple overseer duties and that the place should be pretty much running itself by now... how long has it been since they have even been here to look at this place? Outside the hole dug into the mountain I see workshops! Those should really get put inside soon, somewhere...just need to figure out where. Will need to keep that in mind when I go through and do my initial inspection of the place. Oh, I also see that there are nest boxes just sitting outside as well. Why did I get sent here? Is it punishment of some sort? I am afterall just a lowly Waxworker...how did they think I could do anything with this place? Time to start the inspection of this place's innards I guess...
Floor the Zeroth - looks like just a large circular hall with Trading Depot in the middle of it. I think that must be a lure of some kind since I was told, with the most strictest of shrill voices, that I am to kill any humes and pansy elves that try to enter the fortress, whether for trade or just to say hi. I wonder if they know this and willingly send sacrafices to Armok for us to send to his glorious alter. Around the depot is a large array of goods, which probably should be further down in the depths for protection. Onward though, time to see and report upon the rest of the place. Sidenote...there is quite a bit of blood in here; and random clothing; and a yak cow skeleton? What?
Floor the N'First - Not going to count that rather large stairway as a floor. Instead I will start with the highest up floor that isn't that circle hall, even though I have to go all the way down and then all the way back up to get to it. I wonder if anyone ever gets lost in here? Everything looks the same and there are no signs to point to what floor I am on...this will take some getting used to. Everything is pretty segregated, but that is the same with all of the floors I am having to go through. Nicely, though, there is a pretty consistent layout. In the northwest corner of the floors are some nice bedrooms, taking up a two-by-two bit of floorspace. I don't feel the need to mention units since everything Dwarven is done in standard units of measurement... There are more bedrooms along the south wall going to the west corner. These are just one-by-one bits in floorspace. A few more bedrooms in a small section in the south-east corner as well... wait, why am I sending this inspection to everyone in the MH? Everyone there already knows about how this place is laid out. Well, that's enough of this then!
Okay, well... I have myself one of those apartments that I talked about in the north west corner of the fifth floor down... the only one of the main floors that actually has a normal layout! It's the same as all of the other floors but this one can actually be moved around on to get to all of the other parts of the floor without going up and down innumerable stairways. Since I am the new overseer though I think I will be moving myself over to the north east corner room of this floor and make a bedroom there, in the massive seven-by-six floorplan. It does have a stairway going through a corner of it but oh well, will just have to live with that. Or...even better idea! I can just make another room if I can make those miners work! So I go an talk to Strategia, the current mayor and everything important besides manager, and say I was sent as relief. I then promptly take over control of mayor, broker, and bookkeeper positions.
There is what looks to be a small vein of Cobaltite down three levels from my current residence so I will have the miners dig that out so I can set up my room in there. First the hall needs to be done, and then my room of most opulent grandeur will be dug out, smoothed, and engraved! (evil laugh) While that is being done, I go and have a chat with Brewster about what the masons and carpenters are doing outside at their workshops...that are outside...
(conversation omitted for a much shorter log)...
Okay, nearly 30 doors still need to be finished out of rocks but only three more beds need to be constructed. That's good news! After the beds are finished I will be able to figure out where to put those carpenter's workshops...
5th of Granite:
Okay, the hallway and my bedroom are completed! I picked out a nice nine-by-nine floorspace for my housing. It will have some very nice things in it and will let me do my work in peace. I am still going to need a few chests and a cabinet in there to make things more homey but things are looking up for me. I told the movers where I wanted my bed, chair, table, weapon rack, and armor stand; now just need to tell the masons to stop making so many doors and make some rock coffers and a cabinet for me.
6th of Granite:
This just in, Brewster is complaining about not being able to store some random item of his... says the item is inaccessible. I can understand that, but really can he not just shut up!? Oh, going to be making the carpenters start working down on this same level that I am going to be living on. Will make it easier for me to keep track of and monitor so that they dont do anything stupid...well, sorta on my level. Going to be using the method taken up by the previous overseers and make the workshops stacked downward, and going to have some stockpiles for wood nearby also.
17th of Granite:
My room is finally ready for me to move in... and there is a ghost in there! Need to go prod whoever makes the slabs and then prod someone else to engrave it in the ghost's memory so that maybe it will go away! I do have quite a splendid office though, fine quarters and a fine dining room. The smoothers and engravers really did a great job in here, all I asked for was just decent everything. Oh...something I just realized. Apparently I am a girl, didn't know that... always wondered why I have a slightly smaller beard than the rest of them. Also, I have a husband and two girls and two boys. One more thing, I have apparently been here since the 11th of Sandstone last year... what the hell have I been trippin' on these last few months?
Okay, that's it for what I have so far. Also, wtf? There's a necro-book in the artifacts list and during these 17 days he hasn't shown up to reanimate the few bits of dead stuff that are still outside. Another thing, why did noone make a farm? I guess I will have to since there isn't one yet...
