I am okay with this. I apologise for the lack of updates - I really didn't get more than a month into my save anyway.

I'm starting from wherever the save Crossroads left off back in February I think, it's the last save that was posted

I haven't checked this in about a month, where do we stand?  I'm still game, presuming I haven't been skipped over.

General Status Update: Out of Character (for now)

The grand entrance where waterfalls are planned, blood from goblins spatters the front gate. A good welcome for our enemies.

Tombs and stockpiles for the workshops above.

Finally, our stock records.

Been dealing with the typical fort issues, the baron is getting mad because for some reason he won't go find fresh clothes. Got a few more sets made, and he ran up to grab em. Gonna look into any issues with cloth and clothing production, since we don't seem to have much clothing on hand. Tons of cloth, just not as many sets of clothing as we probably need. No problems with food production, low on meat but we have enough roasts to go for a few years, so that isn't much of a worry.

Digging the pump stack proceeds, with so many miners it only took a week or two in game to dig it out. Gonna tap the second cavern lake in two places to get good flow, and a 2z reservoir should have enough capacity to supply any waterworks on the surface, provided we maintain the reservoir level and have a drainage system in place to recycle the water we draw up. Still have to get the power plant dug and constructed, waiting on parts to be made. Glassmakers and mechanics are pulling doubles getting corkscrews, pipes, blocks, and mechanisms built while the miners finish the digging.

I'll try and get another update in the next day or two, depending on how busy RL gets for me.

Nice to see an update!

Still wondering who knocked out the wall of Zefon's room into that neighbor's room.

The hole appeared in the wall during Crossroads' turn.

Lich180: Just drop in some stone blocks (careful, not on her head) and let Zefon wall herself in.
Also is that a tileset you're using or just a custom color scheme? If it's a color scheme, can you share it?

I'll check and see, I think it's all default, just changed to 800x600 curses for both windowed and full screen, and with variegated ground tiles off, but I'll check to be sure.

Autumn

Quiet, so quiet. No goblins, no kobolds, no nothing. A few wild animals, maybe, but nothing more.

I have begun training with Noface, keeps him busy. Being idle does not suit him.

I am learning the ways of the battleaxe, a most dwarven weapon.

The pumpstack project continues, and needs little supervision now. Power is still an issue, but that will be taken care of soon enough.

The humans had a few goods for us, even after their wagons had issues reaching us. Traps blocking wagon access were removed, the road expanded, and more traps installed.

The bird-man appeared to me again in a dream, just a fragment of memory remains. He was silent, glaring at me as if in warning. He knows about my plans for myself and Noface...

If all goes according to plan, this spring will see a celebration, the first in a long while.

((Sorry it took so long, work has been nuts and on my days off I've been too tired to do much writing. Finally have 3 whole days off, and plan to work on this some more. Thinking I'm going to go to the first of spring, and upload the file from there, since I started in the summer. That way we can keep the 1st of spring to 1st of spring thing going.))

____________________________________________________________________-
17th Limestone
Clash of steel on steel, the noise of battle excites me. Maybe it is just the constant training that has awakened this side of me that lusts for battle. I am not skilled enough yet for any actual fighting, and we lack live training subjects for me to practice with, so I spar night and day. Usually with my Noface, and when he is resting I find another member of the fort who is willing to fight and train me.
Most of them tend to shy away from me, unsure why.
18th Limestone
A new baby has been born to Kogsak Anvilblowing and Rakust Dawntin.
Construction of the pump stack and power supply has stalled as parts are being used faster than they can be made. Inefficient, but nothing much to be done as everyone is busy hauling, building, carving, or mining in preparation. Whoever takes my place next year may have to finish the project, but I will ensure the majority of the work is done.
More training, more sparring. Tired and weary, but I keep going. Noface inspires me to rise above my limits, taking control of my fears and inhibitions and forcing myself to become more hardened.
Still have not seen a real battle, and dwarves come to me every day for guidance on ongoing projects so I guide them the best I can.
10th Sandstone
A massive beast appeared in the caverns, a one eyed coyote, drooling all over itself. I must see to the cavern defenses and ensure we are secure from it.
