20th of Felsite, 109

Work is finaly progressing, despite the comlaints about the rain and the stares zombies give them the miners have done most the work on the trench.
At least untill they spotted a small band of fleeing Suikas outside. Work was paused to open the gate and shout the migrants inside the fort.

One of the stoneworkers got funny, kicked a coffin-making mason from his workshop and is now creeping around the fort gathering things.


23rd of Felsite, 109
Pirate lost it. Has been moping around the fort for a while muttering on about yaks, rain and sunlight. Yet another one of out few capable soldiers lost, think this is a good time to draft some of the recent migrants.


Having a look at our insane stoneworkers workshop revealed, I found out a rather interesting choice of material...



16th of Hematite, 109
Disaster! Again...

Should not have forgotten to send some Suikas to search around for Pirate after nobody saw him for a long time. Turns out he keeled over in an unused part of the housing quarters, not to be found untill he stood back up and immediately proceded to kill one of the farmers in his room.

In the resultant panic and disorder we lost several more Suikas, including Patchy and ThirdEyeGuy. All in all we have lost allmost a dozen due to failure to properly clean up corpses!


^{In other news, we now have a legendary gabbro coffer. Might have better been a coffin.}


29th of Hematite, 109
Another Suika occupying a workshop, a farmer this time. Unlike most, he claimed a leatherworkers shop.



2nd of Galena, 109
Yet more Biokkuri invaders arrive! Why they are so eager to have this piece of wasteland is beyond me. Some humans with extremely poor timing arrived right after them. Didnt take them very long to either turn right back and run, or join the ever increasing zombie populations.


The invaders arrived at the worst moment though. The miners are still outside in the trench which has been progressing stupidly slow due bad weather, and the miners spending most their time in the hospital recovering from blisters. We have been unable to get them back inside due to a zombie having chosen to sit right by the entrance door, scaring off any miner trying to get past.

Tried to dig a second entrace, but the miners inside were busy sleeping and drinking, while the ones outside were busy panicking and dodging Biokkuri bolts. Only CaptainArchmage eventualy managed to get inside, the rest now sits in the increasingly crowded graveyard.

Our insane farmer has also finished his business in the leatherworkers shop. Came out carring a low boot of all things, had hoped he would make us some armor with all that leather he used...




1st of Limestone, 109
It is Autumn, the Biokkuri still havnt gotten tired, and we have been mostly spending time cleaning up storage, and digging some new tombs and wells.

[Grimlocke]

This is the kind of fortress where we have no above-ground water sources, right? You can always dig out another dining hall below the level of the cavern lake and set up a pressurised system.

There is indeed a brook, though its a while away, making it something I would rather use pumps for (fps reasons). Which will take a while, its kind of low on the priority list for now.

[NotaPirate]

I died again? What manner of misfortune is this?!

Resuika me as another military dude, I want revenge. Revenge against, oh I don't know, mood swings?

[CaptainArchmage]

There's a surface brook to the left of the fort where we haven't really expanded to. There's just a bunch of undead biokkuris and wildlife (and probably suikas) in the way.

We don't really have to worry about that... we're going to dig the plumbing system from underground. As long as there aren't undead and so on in the dining halls, or accidents, we don't have to worry about the undead getting in there.

[Syanas]

I was more worried about undead carp.

Actually, that's a much more hilarious way to die. Do it.



CaptianArchmage has been through hell and back and still won't die. Can we memorialize her soon?

[GoombaGeek]

By the way, I'm ready to be resuikaed, it would be pretty funny if we built up a dynasty of useless crafters

[Grimlocke]

Hmmmmmm what to do after finding out you died before writing your last journal bit.

Oh well, plenty more Suikas for resuika. Speaking of which, the recent... misfortune, ill just call it that, hasnt been very kind on the name Suikas. Ill post of a list of re-suika-ing once im done.

Pirate: Macesuika is the closest thing we had. Assinged you an axe.
Anthy: Spearsuika, same as pirate.
ThirdEyeGuy: Broker.
Mokou-Power: Legendary tanner!
Patchy: Mechanic.
GoombaGeek: Expert stone crafter, your on 'Make rock gourd/R'. Seemed fitting.
Chaore: Nother stonecrafter.
Arashi Kurobara: Gem cutter. The request was 'something chemical' but we ran out of lye makers. Least your name is green now 
Eerol: Bone Doc. Adequate (rusty)! Dont break bones!
Purvis: Surgeon. Also rusty adaquate... Name was actualy allready there but didnt show up untill now.
Maid Xan: Manager. Techinically there is a bit of you alive in the caverns, but that doesnt realy count.
Scotty297: Beekeeper.
Me!: Died a second time... reincarnated as brewer for a lack of woodworkers.

Other notables: Despite rather high-risk professions, Totaku, Captainarchmage and Syanas survived so far! Highzealot not resuikad as requested.

Also I dont think I let this many die... oh well, we got everyone on the play and spectate list now.

[NotaPirate]

By the way, are you making better bedrooms? I hadn't the time while I was overseer, and I was hoping you could do it.

The most important part is to get them military to have decent or better bedrooms, because they can get very depressed due to the "was attacked by undead lately" unhappy thought, as well as from sustaining injuries.

Also, I don't need my suika to be an axe wielder. If he's at a pretty high rank on mace it's better to leave him as a macesuika

[GoombaGeek]

Woo, expert!

Three iterations later maybe I'll finally get to Legendary +5 and my stone mugs will be renowned throughout the world *ambition smiley*

Had the legendary engravers we have decorate the rooms with engravings, which threw the value up quite a bit. Suikas now happily enjoy picture of their friend bein eaten by zombies.

There just arnt enough rooms or beds yet though. Most the wood is going into the bin-factory, and even with the fancy rooms Syanas still went mad... which is a total bummer. Starting to feel that depression from zombies is a bit overpowered.

[Patchy]

Easy come, easy go with mooding into a legendary mechanic. So I died and was resuika'd as another mechanic? Or is that just a list of the now undead?

[Grimlocke]

No undead, these all inconveniently died right in the fortress so I had to quickly dump their corpses in the under-construcion graveyard.

So yes your a mechanic, unless you want something else.

[Patchy]

Whatever the fort needs, I'm not picky about it. Just here to enjoy the story of the carnage.

[Grimlocke]

Notice to all workers assigned to refuse hauling:

When cleaning up corpses, you are required to take all the bits and pieces to the graveyard.
One of the farmers recent death by Miner Hideki's disembodied head is unacceptable!

Your concerned overseer, Grimlocke.

15th of Moonstone, 109:

Autumn felt like it went by in notime! The invaders resolved themselves as expected,


And what was left of them was eventualy cleaned up by the timely arrival of a Kikurri!


I am letting it rampage around outside a bit more, its doing us quite a service as a single, non-flying creature roaming around is far less of a nuisance to construction than many of them, some of which fly over or into the trench to pick our miners heads open. We will eventualy have to deal with it as we have yet to construct a gatehouse ouside to completely lock our hill off the the outside, lets hope it fits in the atomsmasher!


One of the farmers recentelly finished producing an artifact, one of the most medicre ones I have ever seen. Behold:




Suikas have died, mostly from their kin's zombies, migrants arrived to replace them, I am deaf to the screams...

Syanas also has lost her mind. The fate that seems to befall many of our military... I am forming a plan on seperating them from the rest of the fort. Hopefully keeps them from forming unneeded bonds.


And I am probably also losing my mind, because I have the strange feeling that I am slightly taller. My clothes dont quite fit right either, and before that all I had the most realistic dream ever of dying in the filth filled trench...
Surely such a thing cannot be real though.

[Syanas]

That is one glorious pile of bones.

Or, if it were my avatar saying that, "Bones faster blood mice cans cheese fire fire fire massive SPIKES"
