Actually, cave adaptation has less to do with lack of light and more with lack of wind- beards detect subtle air movements, but surface air moves way too much for comfort if you get used to that sense. Proof for this is how dwarves working with fire in kilns and smelters don't get sick despite the light.

If we can find another rune, we can put it on our pickaxe. Look for info on where to find runes, as it sounds like we can use them for a lot.

look for runes in the meeting hall, trade depot, throne room, dining hall, dorms and hospitals.
then dig a hole and smoothit so we are good at engraving.

can you change the gem for a runed item? i.e., put a strength rune on the pick, tie on a gem and then when finding a better gem tie THAT on in the first one's place?

Would it be possible to swallow a gemstone, then carve runes into your own flesh? Try it, use a strength rune.

This. But don't stop at strength..

Just tell her that you were merely doing what the voices in your head were telling you to do.

By the way, this is awesome. Can I sig?




But realistically, get back to mr.bossman miner guild leader. Keep an eye out for that creepy rune-woman. Maybe visit the places you remember seeing her. Maybe ask the jailer guards about her.

You walk towards the Northwest mines into the Food Hall. You stock up on some food and enjoy a long drink of dwarven beer. You can see runes from here, underneath the statue of the famous bear attack of 163, of course those are the strengthening runes you've already been taught.

Are those two drunken dwarves... socializing? Oh horrors. What is wrong with this fort?

The weredwarf Urist McUrist has come! A bearded drunkard twisted into minute form. It is crazed for booze and socks. Its unwashed beard is tangled. It needs alcohol to get through the working day and has gone without a drink for far too long. Now you will know why you fear the mines.

Search for more runes. Cut citrines, get some string.
Make anti-strengthening granite ring (When you hit somebody by fist, enemy would be weakened)
Make amulet of light (If your dwarf can, make it switching ON and OFF, you know, like a light bulb in house)
Make strengthening pick, hide the pick's gem and runes in any way that somebody shouldn't see these additions to your tool.

Search for a rune that amplifies another rune's power.
Make two citrines with that rune carved into them.
Attach them to each other.

Забухать же!

We haven't had booze for two months! Go get a mug of your favorite drink.
And remember your name already. Write it on the small sheet of something and stick to your shirt.
