OOC: some pics are a bit to big zoom out a bit like described in the first post to see them.


Melkor’s log 15th felsites
The forgotten beast is of the map for now, I will have to keep a eye out.
Diary I think it’s a bit weird that noface turned up with a pick, I thought I gave him a war hammer, ooh well if he can handle a pick better then a hammer who am I to say otherwise.
On other news elves have arrived, it seems we don’t have a lot of crafts but we do have coins we can sell and some iron shields.
We didn't need the shields and coins since they really didn't have much.
So yeah I bought some bins full of cloth but they really didn't have much else

Melkor’s log 23 felsite
We had 3 snatchers today but they ran off as fast as they could,
Except 1 who got cut in half by uggi
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Melkor’s log 1st malachite
We have a bit of a problem, there is no more wood on the surface we cut it all down.
I am not really sure how we managed to do that with only 1 woodcutter but there you have it you can. I don’t like to open the caverns just yet but I might have to in the future. 

Melkor’s log 14th malachite
I have build  a small mine cart track so we don’t have to carry the heavy load, this should make moving stones a bit faster.
Also we have started to engrave the walls and floors of the noble rooms, some of the art is a bit too familiar.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Climbing that hill must have been hard, at least he had somebody with him.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
If the engraver thinks this is worth of engraving than I must have made a good decision.

Oh here is one of me I wonder what it says
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Uhm… I can’t really remember being the chief medical dwarf but okay

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
What?! No I didn’t laugh when I did that, I didn’t like it at all but I had to protect the goods at the time.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Ooh this is so not true I didn’t weep at all!! I was the one who removed myself as captain in the first place! This is bullshit!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)



Dear diary,
I hate! Our engraver.


Melkor’s log 2nd galena
A small migration wave today, 7 of them. None of them have anything of worth.

Melkor’s log 14th galena
Some dwarf has barricaded himself in the crafts workshop again.

Melkor’s log 18th galena
A human caravan has arrived let’s start the trade

Melkor’s log 22nd galena
The dwarf in the crafts workshop is finely done, he made a nice puzzlebox
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Melkor’s log 1st limestone
The trade agreements have been made, I have requested lots of wood and some dogs.
In return they want this
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
We should be able to get that.
But for now I traded some crafts for cloth and leather.

Melkor’s log 12th timber
A dwarven caravan arrives let’s do some trading.
And somebody took the craft workshop, again


‘Why must I always getting the wood back’ grumbled a lone dwarf,’ I am a blacksmith for amok sake, I am supposed to bend metal to form beautiful steel crafts, but noo that little bitch of a leader wants weapons and armor.
He started to gather around a pile of logs laying on the ground.
‘ Really why can’t that woodcutter just pick these up himself’,
Pff weapons, weapons against what! There is nobody here we already have plenty for the snatchers. And don’t get me started on this wall of hers.
De dwarf had gathered the pile of logs and turned around to see the fort.
There wasn’t much to see, just a small hill with a hole in it. And this is ‘supposed to become the great mountain halls’ he said with a puff, ‘I don’t see it happening.
Around the small hill you could see the beginning of a wall, connecting 2 other hills, the hills where hollowed out for future burial.
Many dwarfs where busy bringing in the blocks and positioning those on the correct spot. when the wall would be done they would have a big courtyard. Which they would need to build the monuments for their gods.
‘But that wasn't the what this dwarf wanted’ no I just want to make art out of metal, not gather sticks.
The dwarf let out a big sigh as he walked back.
The dwarf abruptly stopped as a bolt flew through his leg, his eyes widened, dropping the logs he held In his hands and let out a deafening scream.
The pain forced him to his knees as he tried to turn around to see what hit him.
But before he could see his assailant another bolt hit him in his chest throwing him to the ground.
Gasping for air he lay on the ground blood gushing from his wounds.
His vision quickly blurring till he could see no more, except for a dark figure.
A quick whip ended the suffering of the dwarf, the creature turns to the fort, ‘more dwarfs to kill yes, he turns to his companions. Quickly now before they run.
The dwarfs stopped in their tracks when they heard the scream. A single dwarf was pushed on top of the unfinished wall as a lookout.
He gazed at the field for a couple of minutes, a deadly silence was in the air, fearful of whatever made that scream.
The dwarf took a small step back, paused for a second but then turning around quickly.
GOBLINS!!!

I hope our champions are armored well. But several of us have taken down groups of fully armored and armed gobbos before.

Wait... did you trade our iron shields to the elves.... in exchange for a couple bins of cloth?

Also, maybe engraver receives hammering? He/She engraves that BS instead of people cutting Rocs in half?

Check the kill list on our remaining shields, some of those are historic!

Man, elven cloth is just not worth good weapons and armor. I wouldn't encourage the pointy ears unless they bring good food or exotic animals.

I wish I had known that this sort of thing shows up in art; Nish passed right by two more mountains that I could have easily reached the top of. I walked to the edge of the world anyway; I could have easily added the mountain directly above that.

The dwarf nicknamed Melkor was CMD though I don't recall changing them out of that position.

One of the last things I did was look through and make sure that I had changed names for the dwarves that had arrived. Melkor was one that I had missed. So maybe removing that nickname had something to do with it; the timing is right anyway.

I'm surprised that they didn't bring more sunberries since they brought a fair amount of them the first time.

i already noticed that and changed it on day 1, i think i might have changed myself to it but i don't really remember.

Could we have a screenshot of the units list?

(If you don't know how to do so, in windows, PrintScreen and paste in Paint, save as JPG, upload via Imgur, then link it to this post.)

If I could, I would love to be redwarfed as Torrasque II. Preferably someone who will end up either being a cop or a siege engineer.

You seem to be under the impression that we're playing some game other than dwarf fortress. It doesn't matter how powerful you make a creature, we will find a way to destroy it. God is dead, and Urist killed him.

For my terribly annoying nooby natter, and popping in/out of here every so often, I'd like to be dorfed. Make me a military dorf, armed with two hammers. Any hammers, doesn't matter, but I don't need no sissy shield.

I don't think there ARE any vampires, world gen only ran for 10 years. Let me check legends....

EDIT: Nope, no vampires. Damn. Of course, there's always hacking...
