Right, well I guess we're sticking with the fort as is. Was somewhat surprised to get back from the gaming society to find more people wanting to participate. In light of the difficulties the fort will be facing with population I added the ability to make steel to the RAWs, no point in making a suicide mission impossible after all.

The founding of Bridgedstreams
The journal of Grim Ecodaru:
I have decided to keep a journal to record what little of human history we can leave for those that will come after us. It is my hope that man will be able to look back at these words as a memoir of forgotten evils, though I doubt fortune will grace us with long in this world.
The time of men has long since faded, we are but a shadow of what we were. But we are still men, we will try and try again until the life is ripped from us. Just because our kingdom fell does not mean we should gently fade away.
We will strive, and we will build and we will fight for the chance of a world where our children can play and grow in happiness, away from fear and strife. I have gathered a group of like minded people. My friends Highmax, a woodcutter skilled with his axe, and Splint, a spearman who I consider an equal, have agreed to accompany me, four others, brave and true have sworn to our cause.
There is a place, a land not far from here, where we can begin to rebuild our nation. Among gentle hills a stream flows from a cliff to land in the course of a river that washes the rocks below. It is there, at the site of three rivers that we will try to start again. Our supplies are gathered, our goodbyes said. We leave tonight.
Our destination:
Well. We're here, our new home shall be built here, where three rivers meet. The others have questioned the wisdom of leaving the hiding places that have kept the remnants of our kind safe for generations, but I know that such a life was no life at all. The lay of the land has good potential for defenses, the rivers teem with life and the soil is lush and suitable for farming. We have a second chance here.
So much life in these rivers.
We started to move our supplies to the top of the nearby waterfall, I intend that we build our town around this feature. Through the use of bridges and walls we can make it possible to keep our people safe even if the monsters come for us.
The waterfall.
I asked our Highmax to gather some lumber so we can begin making walls to protect us from unexpected hostilities. The farms are being planted even as I write. Soon I will speak with our mason about beginning the construction of a place to shelter from the weather and the beasts of the air. Splint and I will assist with the manual labor until we have a suitable place to train. For now we must turn our thoughts to shelter and food. War will come soon enough, that I do not doubt.[/i]

I've only done a small amount of fort related stuff at the moment. I'll do most of my turn on Tuesday I think as I only have a few lectures that day, for now I'll compile a list of turns, not that it's necessary right now but it's best that I get started on that, and start planning how to build my plan for our town centerpiece.
