Had a RL steal my artifact "Free time" and the resultant tantrum spiral has kept me from updating.  Game is on hold for awhile.  Sorry guys.

[Timeless Bob]

Christmas is over and some free time has been freed up, so I'll post those "pretty pictures" and do a write-up of everyone's status.  Segregating personal stuff is more difficult than I thought - dwarves really like to chow down!  Once this update has posted, I'll wait until the listing falls off the front page before playing another year and so on until 5 years have passed.  The next game in the que is "The Forbidden City", which should be interesting.

Oh goody more "pretty" pictures

[Timeless Bob]

Ever notice how difficult it is to tell when someone's being subtly ironic in text? "Pretty"?

[Spirallances_]

I'm what you might call a text ninja

[Timeless Bob]

Ah ha.

Spring 1729:

So the amazing seven made it to the site of The Lonely Mountain without getting eaten by the resident dragon.  To keep it that way, it was decided to set up shop in a peak on the other side of the volcanic caldera.  As you can see above, we've been able to hollow out a temporary storage place within the stoney embrace of the Lonely Mountain and have begun flattening the peak into a suitable foundation for the lighthouse.


Summer, 1729:

Much has been done, and much is there yet to do - is this not the simplest philosophy of dwarven life?
Even so, The Lonely Mountain begins to slowly take form as the Lighthouse Tower above and Highmax's Deep Forges below become the vertical boundaries of our new home.

Three dwarves migrated to The Lonely Mountain, "Bolt Claspsteal" (an old friend of some of you from the Mountainhomes), an adventurous milkmaid named Salve (think of that what you will) and a miner toting a battlepick, all the way from the Danglearena project on the southeast coast.

I've pulled together some dossiers of the dwarves of The Lonely Mountain, so you can see all of their particulars in a glance.

One last thing:  The Torrid Attics is the name of the Dwarven civilization here on The Misty Isle.  Their pantheon currently consists of five goddesses:

Whoa whoa whoa wait. Wasn't I a military dwarf? Why am I a smith?

Whoa whoa whoa wait. Wasn't I a military dwarf? Why am I a smith?

Well, you're the Military Commander and have just begun training in the barracks, but I believe the conversation was that you wanted to be able to craft your own weapons and armor too, just in case.  It would explain why you are also one of our miners.  May I suggest drafting that new miner Abyss?  He's already got a minor kill to his name, so may make a worthy sparring partner.  With your strength, endurance and agility, you should be able to get into fighting shape in no time.  You already have a couple favors owed from the other inhabitants for helping to dig the area out a bit, which you can cash in on food and drink - another miner might give you double that, as well as being a sparring partner.  As it stands, unaffiliated workers are in food production with the farmers/herbalists.

Start making forges! We need fuel for the furnaces, so get one of those new guys on wood burning duty and start making stuff! Mostly swords

[Timeless Bob]

Highmax: So - you don't want me to set up magma-forges and magma-smelters?  You want to use charcoal instead?  Just double-checking.

Also, where will I be getting the ores or metals for forging?  So far we've only found stone, (If I remember right).

[Spirallances_]

Has our resident hermit been dwarfed yet? Also I presume that I haven't been dwarfed yet correct? Also thanks for the "pretty pictures"

Charcoal for now. No need to rush magma.

And as for the ores, berate our miners for not digging enough!

[Timeless Bob]

OK, charcoal for now, miners will be berated for not yet finding metals, (or better still, why don't you just post your ire as a message to the people whose avatars are the miners?), and no - Spirallances, neither you nor the hermit have been dorfed yet.  Do you have a preference as to which of the available dorfs that you'd prefer to be dorfed as?

[highmax28]

For the poll, make it a hoard for gold and silver baubles when we get them. WHen we get a dragon, lure it in there and note it as "Smaug's Hoard"
