OOC; I didn't see one, must be more complex then it seems if there isn't one already.Since our arrival, The Card has been declaring he was becoming a dabbling fisherdwarf. None of the rest of us believed you could catch cave fish in the sea so we passed it off as fool's madness, but now after almost three years of practice he's been bringing in some strange but edible ceatures; tentecled swimming snails, great living sheets like bats of the sea, and water-manera that look like Illithid heads. They all look and taste the same finely minced though. We're now set up with Aseaheru processing all the catch in the new facilities while The Card fishes.
After dropping the first cap into the volcano it was found that we were using up more magma for the casting then we were displacing during the drop phase. GreatWyrmLimestone and Peregar corordinated on the the project to undercut, design and drop one final engineered section that would give us the most progress with the least waste and still result in no solid obsidian in the top two levels of magma.
Throughout summer and Autumn we all took turns running water up to the top of the drill-caster's superstructure using the bucket from the deconstructed well. Occasionally the winds would shift some of the rotten goo covering the water tank on top of the drill-caster shortening our trip temporarily and taking the load off of our small well-source. From some constructed catwalks we were able to painstakingly repair the top of the volcanic plug that will be our path to redemption. With the plug top flat again the top of the volcano is capped again and dropped after a single imperfection was removed.
Winter arrives, it's still scorchingly hot. The last layer of magma is cast solid connecting the volcanic plug to our small fort. The last little pocket of magma is solidified via a temporary hole in the roof.
Damn kids are everywhere.
