I'll be away from the forums for the next week.
I'm expecting either new additions to the museum once I return, or gruesome details on what went wrong during collection of those items.

have fun!

[peter1]

sorry, real life got in the way.
update later today

[peter1]

I am pyell battlebaker.it was the 15th of moonstone,1090.
I decide to become a adventurer. I decide to go to The Tomb of Heroes.
While I was going there, I saw a group of impala corpse. I kill 4 of them, then I thought they
all dead.Big mistake! As I was walking away, it turn out that two of then are still alive.
They atack me and then killed me.

start fortess building now.

[peter1]

here the save

Thanks for the updates and the save.  I'll send Kromgar a message and I'll update the map.

Edit: Kromgar still has a surviving adventurer from his first turn so he can play with his old character if he likes. That was quite an epic turn by the way, Kapslung Dapsaning killed our vampire overlord and choked the rest of the staff of the museum to death with his bare hands.. but that was 20 turns ago, I wonder how his character has aged since, or failed to age. (he brought us the secrets of life and death if I recall correctly..)

Edit 2: It seems the fortress in the save game was not abandoned before it was uploaded. Kromgar, you'll have to abandon before you can play.

Edit 3:The new fortress, plankstirred is located very far to the south and on the continent known as 'The Land of Amethysts'. It will be even harder to reach than Silverywind was. It's in the southeast corner of the large map:

Whoa, next in line! I'm glad the project's survived this long!

[Kromgar]

Alright I just got the message. I am a bit busy with schoolwork so I will start my turn thursday night if thats cool with you.


Would be amusing if I played him and he died of old age on the spot due to the length the game has had.

I checked legends real quick... He is 65 years old. I probably wont get to play him again if he doesn't die...

[Bralbaard]

Any news?

[TomIrony]

How long is a turn? 10 real days or until in-game death + fortress building?

[Bralbaard]

From the first post:

When it's your turn your adventurer has one (real time) week to collect -one- item and bring it to the museum or die trying.
To keep things interesting there's something extra: if you die early, or if you manage to collect an item well ahead of schedule you can use the rest of your week to (secretly) build a fortress

These deadlines are mostly there because I do not want to lose a lot of time on fortress building, because the focus of the thread is on adventuring. In fact the fortress building logs are not posted, so it is effectively down time for this forum topic. If the deadline of a week is broken by several days for a long lasting adventure that should not be a big problem as long as you keep us informed on whats happening. However, with this large amount of people waiting for their turn I think its only fair for us to try and stick to the schedule as much as possible.   You can also finish your adventure and post the end of your story after submitting the save game, people have done that before, and it gives you more time to write a good story.

New fortresses are definitely welcomed though. Keep in mind while building one that it should be fun to explore. We have not yet explored any dangerous fortresses yet, the ones that were visited have been quite friendly places but I know there are a couple of *interesting* places on the map. I'm looking forward to any adventurers that dare to explore those sites.

With all that said, it's been a while since we've heard from Kromgar. I'm really hoping he already has a story written down, I'd like to know how the story he wrote during his first turn continues.
We'll wait untill thursday, if we haven't heard from Kromgar by then we'll have to skip him.

[Kromgar]

Sorry...  Do you mind If I do it late friday? Otherwise I will post it late thursday.

Edit: Oh fu*** me. I went to go and play my adventurer again. I was back in the museum... after I had gone far south I guess I shut my computer down while Dwarf Fortress was playing forgetting to save. I am so upset now... If you could give me up to saturday as an extension... otherwise yeah thursday or possibly friday I doubt saturday. I would be grateful. This is a mess absolute mess.

[Putnam]

I wonder if my fort is still on fire?

[TomIrony]

I don't mind waiting a bit longer! Not gonna wait much longer than Saturday, though.

[Bralbaard]

Saturday is fine, no problem

Here and There and Back Again: A hero's Journey

Entry 1: The  Journey begins

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It has been so many years since I brought those books to the museum. I have decided at the age of 65 I shall journey forth once again. No man nor woman shall forget me If i do. I have bought a bag of berries to feed me on my journey and I return to the museum to heft my mighty axe against my foes. I found a soldier well versed in using whips who I recruited to go with me on my journey. Her name is Ebe Galirnik... she could make a great wife but I am far too old.

Entry 2: The Lost Civilizations

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We journeyed far to the west to where my map had shown there was human settlements... They were all abadoned and partially destroyed similar to the outlying areas of dinnerwandered. I wonder what happened to our civilization. I have decided to go southeast to the populated settlements south of dinnerwandered. I have yet to meet a worthy adversary in my journey...

Entry 3: A Split Personaly

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We spoke to the people of the settlement finding they were faced with many threats from which they needed help. They were beset by a plague of animal men and were people. Ebe and I headed to where they said a were person lied. Ebe slew him with her whip. I headed further south to another lair of these monstrous beings to find a reptile woman. She dodged many of my attacks until I finally slammed my shield into her. I then proceeded to slay her with my axe. I now continue my quest  to defeat these evils... I hope to find soon a great beast which I may slay.

Entry 4: So many dead

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I killed all of those who I could find plagueing the villagers. I then went north and asked the people there. They told me to go far to the northeast to that dead kingdom I went to with dakost so long ago. I slew many creatures there... I then went to the village where I met dakost and saw other dwarven prisoners but I could not support  them all in my journey

I want to find a dragon to kill... but I keep getting directed to kill bandits... BAH

Entry 5: The Journey Far South

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I went with Ebe to the far south where maps indicated a Titan shrine was located. I did not know if it was still alive... but I found out it was. I arrived to the shrine after a long journey through the wastelands where me and Ebe had been ambushed by Dingo Men. It was then I arrived at the location of the shrine. I saw the beast large and mighty. It breathed vapor... although I had no idea what this vapor did I braved the beast head on. I charged forward when it took flight still breathing its vapor. I was able to hack its right leg when it suddenly landed near Ebe. She then lashed it in the head where it instantly died. Clearly my heroic attack had weakened it. Upon seeing its corpse I decided it would be my item to display in the museum. So i hefted it in my left hand and have begun the trek home.

Entry 6: With Great Gain

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As we crossed the badlands Ebe had run  ahead of me and went to kill a camel feeling above the world... The camel then proceeded to kick her in the head and smashing in her skull. I had to move on though, I could not bury her. I went to the closest settlement dehydrated and out of food after eating all my chimpanzee meat. I drank from a nearby river and took  some fishberries that someone in the house offered me. I continued my journey north stopping at every  town until I got to dinnerwandered. I then placed the Titan corpse on a table... how the table got bigger to fit the titan eludes me.

The titan vapor causes Kaslun to reek pus all over his body...
