By this thread I am starting new community game. Join us as starting seven, or as a migrant, everyone's wellcome here. Those who join embark team, can also request skills and supplies to be taken.
Mostly I like the idea of good and evil biomes intersecting in one location.


Today, at the year of 101, to the century of His Magesty, The King of The Dyes of Stabilizing, Ingish Craftrooms' rulership, a settlers expedition was ordered to be sent.
The destination point was chosen by His Highness himself:


The expedition's goals are
 - To dominate over location and build His Magesty's future residence,
 - To show the filthy elves (west), arrogant humies (southeast) and cousins dwarves of other branch (eastern mountains) the Glory and Power of our frozen halls.
 -  To repell the spreading goblin civilization The Seducer of Gripping (south) over the gulf of Diminished Waters. We confronted them before, and we can't tolerate their raise in power.


Fun facts about our civilization
- We live in frozen mountains completely, so it's like a journey to the health resort - from freezing to just cold. Expect the summer nostalgia about snow thawing.
- Our general Mestthos Ageshame spent years traveling in the depths of world, taming various cave creatures. In 89 she profaned the temple of  Mountain Home and was cursed to be were-squirrel. Later she was exiled and after year of wandering was killed by human warrior.
- His Highness also visited that temple in 25, and later there were some suspicions about mysterious murders, but everything calmed down when His Magesty laid series of oppresive severe, but fair edicts.

His Magesty Ingish Craftrooms,
I name this place PaintedCrypts!



Ahem... It's a good sign, right?
Granite, 101
After long journey to the north we finally arrived at the nothern bay of  Diminished Waters.
Me and my guard Nix are to make those peasants working and build here a nice fortress. Don't know why this place was chosen, actually.
everything is calm around. The only movement is the tiny crab crawling at snow. Never thought crabs like playing in snow, but maybe this one have no choice - sea is frozen to the bottom.
Just like our sweet home glacier.
Our wagon has stopped at the tiny hill with a few trees on it. Trees to the east are long-dead and dry, trees to the west look normal.
At the south we see a long tongue of frozen ocean cut deeply into the soil. Everything is covered with white snow.
To the work!

Frozen dwarf blood is falling from the sky. This is definitely NOT the good sign. I ordered to dig the hole underground and store everything there.

Miners dug down and met the aquifer. Luckily, it was easily avoidable, they found kaolunite clusters that hold off the water. And digging down they broke into the cavern. Very wet cavern, and full of moss. At least we won't have problems with water here.

[NCommander]

I'll take a dwarf, preferably any red/green or purple.

[peregarrett]

I'll take a dwarf, preferably any red/green or purple.

Huh?
Actually, we're all red here, because of blood snow.

[NRDL]

I like my dorf.  Distant and reserved, I like that. 

[peregarrett]

Slate, 101
Things are going well. Just once we were disturbed by undead opossum. It was then disposed by leader of miners (he calls himself an 'expedition leader' bu we all know whoIS the leader here. I don't care). Actually, he killed it in accident, just swinging his pick in disgust. He still haven't recovered from stress of undead's attack and freakish weather.

But that incident made me worry about defences. I'm making raising bridge to block the gate, and Nix making equipment for himself. He has shield and bronze sword, and still working at the forge.

West shore of gulf has all snow thawed, while eastern is still covered with white red.

Pixie swarm is flying around undead opossum's corpse. It is disturbing.

Peregrine falcon fights undead peregrine falcon. I'm betting on alive one.
NCommander, we've got 2 miners, carpenter/mason, planter and brewer. Who is red enough for you?

NLDR, I chose him because of muscularity, but I'm glad you're happy with him.

[Pitchblende]

Can get dorfed as a miner?

[Bataille]

Hey, I'd like either a wrestler or hunter/butcher dwarf named Duke.

Probably wont last very long as a hunter though...

[BFEL]

Can I be the brewer/gemmer/woodcutter?

I cut the booze
I brew the gems
I encrust the trees
I get confused golly gee! XD I hope he has a personality to support this

[peregarrett]

Everyone is dorfed!

Spoiler: Pitchblende (click to show/hide)

He got one kill - undead opossum

Spoiler: NCommander (click to show/hide)

He is planter/armorsmith. Maybe later I train him as a hammerdorf or macedorf. He is quick to anger, that's nice

Spoiler: BFEL (click to show/hide)

You're also female. that is confusing even more

Spoiler: Duke (click to show/hide)

We don't have hunters or butchers here, and wrestlers too. I gave you miner/wood burner

Felsite, 101
We were swarmed by undead falcons. They annoy, but don't do any harm, except for having to drop everything you carry and hide.
Woodcutter - she calls herself BFEL - cut one in half with her axe, and second miner who introducted himself as Duke smashed another with his pick. Also, that miner who killed first possum calls himself Pitchblende.
We're all getting closer to each other here...

Sea thawed. It's quite deep here, 4 z-Urists at lowest point.

Peregrine's corpse has risen and sneaked inside. Mason punched it and took out.

[BFEL]

Ok so I'm female, have the most confusing mix of professions ever, enjoy the wood that is harvested from the wood of a mango tree (but not the wood direct from the tree, no) and hate snails while liking their shells. Oh and I pity people while not actually helping them.

THIS IS GONNA BE FUN


"Granite 1-0-something
So we got to this wonderful new stretch of land after traveling along those bumpy mountain roads.
Its so nice and warm here. And warm. I mean sure it looks kinda scary over to the east over there but other then over there this place is great. Heck the snow is only a foot deep. There was a loud rumble a minute ago, probably a cavern collapsing, geologic structure is unstable here but its nice and warm.
I feel kinda sad though because there's kinda only seven of us kinda. Oh well I'm sure more people will come when they see how warm it is in this warm place. When I heard it was warmer here I was hoping there would be mango trees, but I don't think I see any mango trees with any nice mango wood wood. Too bad. But this is kinda cool, there's blood falling from the sky. I licked it and like I thought its dwarf blood. Can tell its dwarf blood because dwarf blood tastes vaguely like alcohol and has a more metallic taste then human blood, and a lot more metallic then elf blood. Peregar is a little freaked out about it but I think it looks pretty, like snail shells, but not like snails, they have nice shells but they look ugly when they aren't wearing shells. Well I gotta go, they just found a way through the aquifer and right into a cavern, probably the one that collapsed, it likely has some leftover water from being soaked in the aquifer for so long. Ok bye."

If your wondering I'm running with a few concepts based on her bio
1. Because of the mango wood wood thing, she repeats herself a bunch. A bunch.
2. Because of the rarely excited thing she isn't fazed by much
3. Because of her odd mix of professions, I assume she knows a little bit of everything. Yes including the different tastes of different species blood

Hematite, 101
A herd of undead horses came from the north. I ordered everyone hide inside and locked the gate. Those hoovers can be deadly!
Malachite, 101
We've received first party of migrants! Horses moved far away by the time, so it's safe to open the gate and let them in.
Some of them have fighting skills, so Nix's squad should be expanded. also they brought four children, don't know why. I hope they grow up soon.

Somehow horses heard the sound of opening bridge and turned back. But y the time they came it was closed again! Screw you, stinky hoovers! But those zombies looks more clever than I thought

We tried to dig down to caverns, but the aquifer continues even under the cavern floor. I've never seen that before!

[BFEL]

"Slate 101 (thanks for reminding me Peregar.)
Well we've been here a month now and something I've never seen before happened now. The snow left. Weird. It seems warmer now. Oh and that miner killed a undead opossum. Opossums emit a very sweet odor when they are alive, I wonder what it smelled like after it was animated? But anyway I talked to him and he said he just mined it like he normally mines things. I wonder if that would work with Axey-ax? Oh a falcon fought another falcon, but the one falcon was an undead falcon and the other falcon wasn't a undead falcon, it was a living breathing falcon. I think Peregar is wrong, the animated one will hurt the other one bad. Didn't see what happened though, I was watching the pixies that were around the opossum. The smell must still be sweet."

I hope you don't mind me doing my own logs of events peregarrett, I probably should have asked first but it was too tempting to resist.
