We need to wall off those caverns, quick!

[crazysheep]

This following update is brought to you by a very annoying final year project. It menaces with spikes of DO ME NOW OR ELSE.

Our total baby population now stands at 4, congrats to Card! In 12 years time they'll be productive fort members. Until then, they'll just whittle down our food and drink supplies.


A cloud of haunting gloom drifted by. Nobody's outside.. yet.

Hot damn this fort is actually not failing.

If I'm doing it right, I have no idea what I'm doing right

I am awesome, i has the first kiddo!

olololololol

I'm the expedition leader, right?
GreatWyrmHematite has mandated to production of certain goods.

1 hematite coffer (0/1)
1 hematite coffin (0/1)
5 steel bars (0/5)
2 adamantine wafers (0/2)

I'll keep this thread updated with mandate completion. You keep me updated with your thoughts
Current GWH mandate status:
0/1 hematite coffers completed
0/1 hematite coffins completed
0/5 steel bars completed
0/2 adamantine wafers completed

We need to wall off those caverns, quick!

Getting on to it. I really don't want to deal with flying FBs - all of the dwarves don't have crossbow skills.

Late autumn (major) update:

While the ice wolf corpses were chasing an elf merchant and his donkey around, I noticed sand walls.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Remember this ass-tooth-plosion? Those are the sand walls you're looking for.

Anyway, I decided to get some sand to round out our furnace operations. We have metal smelting and smithing operations, clay baking operations, so adding glassmaking to that mix should be a pretty good bet. I send NAV out to tunnel through ice to get to the sand.

End result: we have sand for glassmaking!

After the elves came in summer, I wondered if anyone else would turn up to trade. Surprise surprise, someone came!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

They were greeted by the local wilddead.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

After they dispatched the wilddead, I opened the front door to let them in. Someone came sneaking in with them..

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The human macemen (and macewomen) gave the kobolds a good pounding, killing one and chasing the other two away. However, this being a self-raising biome, the dead kobold came back and found its way into the main meeting area. The militia was raised to get rid of it.

Once it was punched to death, the first proper run of the magma-based corpse disposal system was tested out.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Garbage dump on hatch at -124, linked to lever at -60. Throw garbage in, pull lever, bye bye corpse.

After trading some leather and lots of meat and berries to us in exchange for some earthenware trinkets and dimple dye, the humans left. On the way out, the local wilddead brought reinforcements.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

That's a lot of blood spilt.. enough to paint the town red? Maybe

Undead list after the humans left:

Anyway, time for some cheerier news: Nix and NAV got married!

We have a nice statue garden for this

Great Wyrm Hematite's mandate arrives at the desk of MrWillsauce, bookkeeper. Concealed within the privacy of his office, he discretely edits it as convincingly as he can, before putting it in his "out" pile of documents.

1 hematite coffer (0/1)
1 hematite coffin (0/1)
5 steel bars (0/5)
2 adamantine wafers (0/2)
1 adamantine sarcophagus reserved for the acting bookkeeper (0/1)
1 adamantine throne reserved for the acting bookkeeper (0/1)
1 adamantine table reserved for the acting bookkeeper (0/1)


The previous items have been mandated by your expedition leader, me, GreatWyrm... something or other GreatWyrmHematite. Anyway, no need to ask him me about his my orders, especially the adamantine goods, which I have reserved for our handsome and hardworking bookkeeper who totally deserves them.

[Thecard]

I hope you two are happy together!

Later, GWH notes this, retrieves the orders, modifies them some more, and returns them to Willsauce's desk.

Dorf me please, Bobnova, something to do with metal or stone.

[mastahcheese]

I'm suprised GWH didn't dumb it all the way down to a wooden casket.

This update is brought to you by the number 123.

Winter brought out a troll to our little dungeon/fort. We were working on walling off the caverns as per mastahcheese's reminder, but this troll lumbered along anyway, disturbing everyone.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Once again, the militia is raised to deal with the clear and present threat to the fort. The result? See below

Donuts gave birth again. This time, it's a boy! Congrats are in order once again!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And it's spring, and a new year! Another milestone has been reached: 2 years of holding out in this fort!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It seems that news of this exotic frozen hole in the ground has spread far. Suddenly dwarves want to come here.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

16 dwarves came in this wave.

One of them got possessed almost as soon as he got onto the map, asking for bones. A goat and a water buffalo were sacrificed.

Ha this will be fun when a forgotten beast comes! And all the dwarves died in the exact same spot? that's odd and funny to imagine.

Lol no, Volfgarix stabbed the troll in the head with a large silver dagger. Nobody has died so far
