[Syanas]

Crossedhorns, destined never to make a proper caravan deal ever again.

Just a note, the caverns should still be fine and have plenty of wood provided another forgotten beast doesn't pop up.

[Patchy]

Another forgotten beast always pops up when you least want it. Though that previous one might have ended the fort right here. Even with it dead, the contaminants seem to be killing off the suikas. And contaminants are annoying to completely eliminate.

[Syanas]

It's just some harmless skinrot. Only a tad bit worse than the slime rain. We still have a bunch of tallow waiting to be turned into soap for that purpose anyway.

[Patchy]

Ah, just some harmless skin rot, who needs their skin anyways?

And lots of tallow is good, but I hope we have have enough lye to go with it. And lye of course is made from the precious little wood reserves the fort has.

Also do we have a water source in the hospital, or are we still trekking down to the cavern lake for water?

Hoho, yes, yes that's the reason why we don't have soap yet.

The water source is a problem. Likely I'll have to dig a channel down to receive the water from below
(Or I could be a douchebag and leave that to the next guy in line, there's always that.)

[NotaPirate]

Autumn. The dwarven caravan has arrived. Unfortunately, we had to lower our bridges to welcome the outpost liason in the middle of our cleansing operation, so there was the part about random zombies coming in to party


_{Stuffman is overzealous about no parties.}

Stuffman, once again, charged forth, breaking a few of his own limbs in the process of dismembering a zombie. He'll be hauled to the hospital shortly after, but I have no idea how long he will take to recover, if at all. As his right arm dangled uselessly on the bed he assured me that they were only flesh wounds. I doubt it.



The caravan finally arrive. I swiftly went in to trade all their wood, charcoal and wood related products with the crafts we have.


Highzealot was scared to death by some ghost. As I haul his body off the ground, the spectre mumbled something to me.

You're next.

...I immediately send a suika to carve it a memorial.

With our broker gone I told Patchouli, with her master skill in judge of intent to replace him. She narrowed her eyes, and finally judged me to be a douchebag. I don't disagree. A few minutes afterward she told me she couldn't be bothered with all this brokering. She had, after all, a meeting to conduct


_{A likely story.}

I finally got ahold of a craftsuika, Deler, to do the job. He seemed fairly willing, better than lounging about the dining room, he assured me.

With the amount of crafts we had, we were able to buy every metal object they had, as well as their wood. With my little knowledge of prices I attempted to trade with the least losses as possible.

Noticing that they had plenty of leather I proceed to buy most of them. around 50, to be exact. We do not have much opportunities to obtain it, and we would need to to craft leather armour for the military. Not the best substitute, but without lignite or coal to fuel our metal industry it would have to do.
Winter

As I lower the bridges for the merchants to leave, Mokou-power dashed out like a madman. He told me he was going to pick up equipment. I dismissed it as the ramblings of a suika looking for death.




_{COME AT ME BRUH, YEH COME GET SOME BISH, I'M AN IMMORTAL. WHAT-HO!}

The other suikas came out to help him in the dispatching of the monster. I grabbed his screaming body back into the fort in case he had any other notions of immortality.

I start the construction of the walls in a bid to build a safe area outside for suikas. One of the masons suddenly came down, paralysed, suffocating shortly after. I suspected it was the syndrome rain, and immediately ordered everyone back inside. The construction will have to wait.

Construction is halting. More undead come to disturb my masons. I'm afraid at least half of them will die. A necessary sacrifice, however.

More disaster.


_{The door guarder has arrived to take our doors.}

I hastily ordered everyone back inside, but the corpses are refusing to leave my men be. I slam my axe into some, but more keep coming back. A recruit was killed in the massacre, and two others unconscious. We might have to abandon them.



The meilingkkuri arrived unexpectedly fast. I decide to abandon the two recruits and make a dash for it. we will be waiting for their corpses behind the bridges. Recruit Monom has finally snapped, attempting to attack all of us. I dodged some of his flailing fists, and he eventually calmed down. I could hear screaming above. Our recruits did not make it.

After a moment of guarding a door outside, it entered the fort


<sub>before

after</sub>

Corpses of suikas and undead are littered outside. I dare not touch them.




Patchy has a shot of inspiration.



_{An artifact about...an artifact?}

Stuffman has a suicidal intention. I drag him back from the bridges before he could chop any of the undead outside.

[Totaku]

Ok I finally got everything up to date! Took me a bit of time thanks to everything that's been going on.

Buy anyways, I do want to inform everyone that even though Syanas didn't exactly meet the specifications of the quest that was given, she's getting credit because I learned that several players were confused about what was meant by paying your proper respects. What I wanted was to have them bury the bodies IN the coffins, but apperently miscomunication in the description lead to confusion on what to do with the bodies. So in the end, let it go.... for now.

Next time I WILL be detailed on what I will want done. Also Pirate was suppose to have a quest, but because I was so busy I didn't have time to give it out (it would need a year's time to complete anyways. So I'll give it to the next person....

[NotaPirate]

A kappa caravan arrives.

I dismiss Stuffman from the squad after he told me that he dreamt of munching on suikan meat. I wish not to have him murder everyone in a tantrum. A decent room has also been put aside for him.



A biokkuri squad ambushes before we have the time to complete the final wall. While I considered pulling back, some of the suikas are sleeping and hence would be destroyed within a second. We will have to attack now.

We drove them out, but not without sustaining a loss. We were, unfortunately, unable to kill most of them in order to obtain Biokkurinite.

Another tantrum spiral. I hope it ends soon. It seems as though someone had smeared the sex pigeon's extract over the staircase leading to outside. Many others have rotting body parts due to this. I will have to clear the stairway and build a new one.

Alas. Before I could do this, spring has arrived, signalling the end of my reign. I shall resign back to my military post and hope my predecessor will do a better job than I have.

(Note: Do get stuffman back onto military once he's feeling better. That guy is one crazyass serial killer.)
(Double note: I haven't traded with the kappas yet, please remember to trade with them and get some sweet shell iron among other metals.)
(Triple note: The walls outside still need a ceiling to shield from syndrome rain)
(Quadruple note: destroy the stairway leading outside ASAP. It's polluted with Sex pigeon's extract and rotting everyone's ass. Build a new one in its place.)

[Totaku]

Since your done, I'm going to write up the next intermission segment... (I'm waiting for you to post your save) This will be intereted for Grimlocke and onward..

As Marisa watch Suika survive as the mini copies survive, she became impressed with how well Suika was managing things inside and outside the fort.

"Wow, I know this was a bit of a challenge, but at least you managed to somehow survive to some degree in such a tricky situation. You even manages to (somewhat) bury you founders."

"Told ya I could do it!" Suika said with confidence as she took another swig of her sake from her gourd.

"I'm persoanlly curious how this will go, are you going to conqure the surface sometime?"

"Yeah, once I get some things establish...."

Just a short hair blond comes walking up seeing Marisa talking to Suika, Marisa turns and takes notice and waves at her direction.

"Yo Alice, whatcha doin' over here, daze?"

The short haired blond walks up toward Marisa and Suika and notices the "game" Suika has been playing.

"More or less, I just decided to go out for a walk, Marisa..."

"But you came all the way to the shrine? You must some kind of reason to come all the way here."

Alice hesitates for a moment before speaking again...

"I just want to take a different way today, I don't usually have time to go outside the forest these day since I have been busy working with my dolls."

"You really should do it more often."

"..."

Alice then looks over and notices all the miniture Suikas running around on the table on what looks like an undead world...

"What exactly is this?" Alice question...

"Oh it's just a little challenge Suika's been doing. She's been doing pretty good up to this point."

Alice examines the game Suika is playing and noticed all the strange things going on....

"Tell me Marisa, do you ever notice Suika's not giving a care about how she's storing her goods?"

"No why?"

"I personally think this is kind of messy to leave everything all around without storing them in thier proper container. It's like your home... just full of drunks."

"Hey, you know I have work on magic on a regular basis so so I have to have everything out ready as I work!"

"And when you came to my house?"

"But... that's a different case"

Alice's sigh knowing Marisa just trying to dodge the question.

"You know what would be interesting. Seeing if Suika here could one up you and make a clean and organize storage space for all the good to go in. Perhaps even make it possible to take it to where it's needed in short noctice too!"

"Hah, you think she'll do that?"

"Let's put it like this. If Suika can manage to clean up her fort here. I'm going to demand you clean up your home as well. Cause if a drunk can do it, so can you."

"Heh, you know what I'm up for a bet, I'll take it on. And if she fails, then I expect you to leave me alone about how I take care of my stuff."

"I suppose that's fine enough"

"Then it's on!"

NEW CHALLENGES!

Marisa's challenge
Surface housing:Build an basic above ground fort establishment in which the migrants and caravan from above ground can easily enter into to reach thier destination inside the fort. It must be built in the location where you first began building your fort (as in that small hill) (You must compelte this in 2 years before Spring.) Protip: If you already have a building in the works, you can find a way to connect it.

Alice's challenge
Tidy management: Create a storage room and store 90% of your belonging you own, trade, or taken within bins, pots or any other storage device! (Must be complete be next spring!)

Grimlocke, as soon as NotaPirate posts the save it's your turn!

[Patchy]

Oh nice, I mooded hehe. And it's one of the more useful skills too. Always love having a legendary mechanic running around.

[highzealot]

Killed by a ghost... must have taken some sort of tactical genius.

Also, Grimlocke, don't bring me back yet. I'll have myself return on my own time in my own style.

[Darvi]

Killed by a ghost... must have taken some sort of tactical genius.

CREEEEEEEEEEEE- oh you're not talking about him are ya?

[highzealot]

CREEEEEEEEEEEE- oh you're not talking about him are ya?

Well it doesn't say he can't scout ghosts. Now if it was ghost cavalry that'll be a different story.

[Grimlocke]

Save loaded, general choas and disorder met, and some challenges to boot. Looks like I wont be short on things to do.


1st of Granite, 109
No trees to cut, good time for a break!



Or at least it would have been if it wernt for our insane beloved overseer barging into my room shouting:
'Guess what Grimlocked!'.
'Dont put my name in past tense, and im on break. Guessing can come after.'
'Haha no your not. Cause your the new overseer, you dont get breaks. Now you know, and im done! Good luck and stuff.'

...

At least I can make someone else cut the damned cavern trees...


2nd of Granite, 109
Dispite my inclination not to, I have decided to make a plan!

1st goal: This place is a mess. I dont like mess and so im digging out more storage space, removed the old upper stockpiles and ordered production of bins and beds. Also ordered the basement to be expanded so we have some place to put the endless amouth of loose furniture.



2nd goal: Make a proper entrance, and damn the evil rain, its going to be right where the the first entrance was! Added to that some trenches, tunnels and fortifications so we can pick off zombies and the like without risking out hides.

3rd goal: Finish and expand the quarters. In order to distract us from everyone dying from zombies and sex pigeon I have told our two best engravers, Wymar and Stuffman, to make us some nice decorations in the rooms. Decorations they chose to make of...




4th goal: Dig down for magma and get the metal industry running. Lots of stuff to melt here!

[Darvi]

How am I and engraver and a corpse a the same time?Dwarven Schrödinger's cat!
