Ok, at last I'm doing turn one, Tally will do turn 2, then Durmatagno and then as people join. Turn one started. A medium world with 500 hundred years of history, and slightly above average number of megabeasts.
From the Journal of Doc Rhyme, professor of ‼MEDICINE‼ by the Royal Academy of Dwarven ‼SCIENCE‼:
1st of Granite:
At last we've made it to the Jungles of Menace. This is soooooo exciting. Finally I'll be able to study those strange undead creatures I've always heard of. I really have to thank General Likot, a fellow doc, for giving me the opportunity to come here. Together with professors Tally, Drake, Peregar and Brewster, as well as with two miners the General assigned us, we've made it to the borders of the Jungle.
I've ordered the miners to dig a temporary place for us to stay, with a little meeting area, and some space for farms, workshops and stockpiles. I've never liked hard work, but we'll do it in the name of ‼SCIENCE‼
There is also some kind of strange phenomena here. Not only the local fauna is composed of undead creatures, but also this red vapor. It has affected some ravens, and they seem hostile and dangerous.
13th of Granite:
As we were taking everything to the new entrance the miners had dug, an undead deer attacked. It followed one of our yak bulls and got lost in the jungle. Our bull came back, and the deer doesn't seem to be going to get here any time soon.
1st of Slate:
Professor Brewster has started his work on the farms. He says we won't have any problems with food anytime soon. As a side note, we've seen more of that red blighted vapor. It seems to be a common thing here. I can't wait to have one of those undead ravens for study.
6th of Slate:
We've started digging to build some bedrooms, meanwhile we have dug a little nice room for all of us. When I say we, I mean the miners, of course. I'm planning on using it as the hospital. Professor Perergar has also placed a limestone lever to rise the bridge at the entrance of the cave, so we can seal ourselves if the ravens try to enter.
16th of Slate:
I designed refuse stockpile and we butchered the yak bulls. I'm now using the bones to make some crafts, which we will be able to sell to the caravan from the mountainhomes when they come. I think I'll make a figurine of Brewster, he has just finished building a still.
12th of Hematite:
Some migrants arrived. One of them seems like an experienced soldier. She was a hunter and a tanner, and she claims to have killed ninety creatures, including rhinos. We'll have to see if we can convince her to become our militia commander.
2nd Galena:
For Armok's beard! The ravens attacked Perergar as he returned from the jungle with wood logs. a trap captured one of the ravens, and a hunter shot down two of them, but Perergar fainted. The female hunter that I wrote about and two miners killed the rest, and now they stay dead... As well as Perergar. I have yet to see the corpse, but i fear of friendly fire. We'll bury him in what had to be his bedroom. We'll never forget you, professor Perergar.
(No images because the host was too slow and i had little time. I thought the ravens had left the map, but some others appeared. No more lone woodcutters i think)
