No up date yet rawrrawr rawr rawr rawr.!!!!!!

[Gavakis]

The creature of the night demand's a new update!
Also, have the peseant dwarf go adventuring as soon as he can!

[Tirion]

Why name them? They aren't artifacts, and nothing has been killed with them so far. Except for the pick, which was used to slay a single pet...

It's a home rule.

You need to name your now magical item. All magical items crafted will need special names.

The guy should get a rune tattoo. That way he could no longer delay getting a name 

Perhaps a nice anti-strenghtening rune. Judging from how it affected the statues, everything the peasant touches would wither and crumble. Great for punching giant rats! (as long as he doesnt touch his beard or "interact" with the beautiful queen)

Or go to pee. Or scratch his nose, or something. Still, he needs a name... and while killing enough historical figures would eventually get him a long title, he should have a birth name to begin with. Urist, maybe? Or if there is a dwarven word for peasant...

No, but I think that Gingcabnul would mean "Youngfool" (Didn't find a word of peasant or the village idiot)
Edit: Geshudcabnul is the closest I could think to the "fortress idiot" (fortress fool actually)
Perhaps add a kizab somewhere in the name (means useless)
Kizabcabnul?

Names for the runed equipment:

◀granite amulet►: Sparklegem
◀granite ring►: Granitecircle

I agree with these two. I would name the copper pick "The axe of picking".

[Scruffy]

◀copper pick► The Nosepicker

I too agree.

Or, you know, ever rub his eyes, scratch himself or clap. Maybe if his tongue touches his teeth something will go wrong too.

But imagine all the fun we could have by punching kobolds and kicking kittens

Edit: Perhaps use a similar system as with the light amulet. The peasant pulls his beard and triggers the rune's power.
...Now then, which part of the dwarf could we encrust with the gems? Perhaps he could swallow them to gain their power.

We could get the same effect by strengthening ourself, that effect doesn't seem to transfer to everything it touches. Plus the crunch of skulls will be much more satisfying if you got stronger instead of the skull getting weaker.

[Tirion]

I wonder how these rune effects fit into DF's attribute system. Is Strenghtening = +strenght for self, Anti-strenghtening = -toughness/endurance for target?

[Fishybang]

PTW.

[Brewster]

You continue to ask the Leader about the older fortress. He explains it's still as strong as the best days of it's glory, just no one lives there now. Once this fortress was settled and the king came, everyone else followed. You explain to the dwarf your plans to want to go into the caverns but scared you don't have the training. He informs you about the Miner's Guild Work Study program. They fund the training and equipment. You ask how you can apply and he says "Approved!" and rushes you to the training room and leatherworkshop. After a few months past and you load up on combat skills and a nice set of leather armor; you begin your journey through the caverns!
