UPDATE!

Ok as far as Dosheb went.. Sadly I was starting my quest, and there was no chance of me recruiting a human Demigod to accompany a lowly starting Dwarf.
Needless to say, given that he last was seen at Silverysects, and now dwells in one of the most Northern Human settlements... That he got back simply makes him THAT MUCH more of a BADASS.

Since that time I have been busy however.  I slayed some mighty beasts and I would say I am currently "almost" about half way there.  I have been plagued by NO END of boogymen though.. they seem utterly to ignore fires, no mater how many I make. 

I am currently in "Licevaathira" which many of uss have passed through.  Currently trying to get some better armor by slaying gobbos.

I currently do, due to some bug that crashes the game after year 5. Maybe it's all my modding.

I don't get necros or vampires or werebeasts, but Fortress Defense and my custom megabeasts and demons mod solves this lack of !!FUN!! somewhat.

EDIT:

Ok apparently a smashed tow is infected... How worried should I be about this? Is this something I can drop dead of?

Well, eventually. Not in the adventure mode timescale, but in fort after a many months. There might be a way to clean it with soap, and if not you can add a healing rate to nail_template and it should fix itself in fast travel.

In Fortress mode, your doctor should easily take care of it with surgery and cleaning.

BE CAREFUL

Legend tells of a fort besieged by a dragon. When 79 brave recruits fell to its breath, the last dwarf of the fort took up arms. He sprung from his sickbed and claimed an adamant one sword before he bulrushes the dragon. A clean swipe severs the head. But the dragon claws him in the lower body and burns him alive. As he melts into a pile of booze and fat, I rename him Ronnie James Dio and change his profession to dragonslayer. He will forever be immortalized and worshipped as a dragonslayer God.

Nope, because next update probably won't be save-compatible :(

OK ! I am almost there... Really mostly made a bee line to the place ASAP.
should be there by morning and hoping to upload the file!

And yeah... those us wishing to play will need to set aside an older version because new version will most likely not be save compatible.

I MADE IT!

This is it people! After over a YEAR of trying to get this done, we FINALLY have Seven Dwarves alive to Silverysects!!!

LADIES AND GECKLFINS!
It is time to start planning our FORTRESS!

Well, almost time... there is ONE More thing to do...
In a spot prolly about 5x5, someone with "Embark Anywhere" needs to actually FOUND Silverysects ( I would do it, by no Embark anywhere mod for Macs/Apple)
Unless there IS a mac version of the mod?

Whoever does it is going to have to pick the spot and pick the starting Dwarves..

A SPECIAL NOTE: 
Whoever does start, as far as naming the Dwarves...

Something we agreed to quite a while ago... Since the whole point is to play this as of the Dwarves who got there are playing AS the starting sevem..
AND we know that the starting seven are "really" just going to be random Dwarves...
The first seven will be named AFTER those who made it there alive.  So whoever embarks, your Dwarvish names should be:
Nish Wheelroads
Melkor Savageaxes
Orky Lessonlancer
Reudh StrangerdangerII
Uggi GranitegodsII
Noface Obscurepast
Bhrian Bloodaxe


The skills of these Dwarves should also be picked largely in mind of what they did while playing (obviously basic skils will need ot be given to each, cooking,brewing, farming, minning etc)

The way it was decided was basically, AS the "REAL"  Hero's show up as migrants, they would be swamped for the Dwarf that was already using the name... The That dwarf would be given a 'generic' Dwarf name.

Makes sense?
