-INTRODUCTION-
-The following is an excerpt taken from the journal of one Splint Unitefences, a Caravan Guard.-
25th Timber, 225
Heading out today, as per the norm when visiting Dyansauri settlements. No more than a month peddling what we have, except the coal we're shipping out to the human capital. The lizards were willing to pay triple for the coal, but Boss Zacen says that's not our call. The humans' monarch already paid in advance for the shipment.
5th Moonstone, 225
Stopped in at another lizard town to get some supplies. Can barely understand them, but they keep their turf clear of bandits for the most part. Gonna be setting out tomorrow morning.
24th Obsidian, 225
Fucking violet xelics. The fucking things show no respect to their kin, much less us... They jumped us on the way out of Dyansauri territory.
There were so many... They jumped us while we were with a few of the silver xelics, took out the lead xelic and one of the assistant caravan masters almost right away and it went pear-shaped from there... Someone let the cave crabs we were taking to Salvisila to some wealthy buyer there loose, three wagons got toppled during the initial onrush of purplish colored warbugs, Logem took two before a third got him from behind, Tholtig took out six before going down to wounds... Then there was that big bastard. Vutok, Riis, Kulum, and Urist, killed all of them... Crushed a beetle and a crab too along with a xelic that took a swipe at him with a dagger.
Our caravan was 42 strong, not counting a few of the kids some of the merchants brought along, trying to get them to learn the family trade and such. Dunno what happened to them, but now there's seven of us total, at least that got out with this wagon, counting myself. Thor, Firecrazy, and I are the only guards that got away. Didn't kill any, but we hurt a few. And Thor didn't so much get away as get dragged out of the fight by one of the crabs. They weren't kidding about them being protective of us. Dropped his warhammer though so all he has is his work hammer to fight with now. No matter.
There's a cave up ahead that Zacen wants to use for shelter; there's storm clouds ahead and frankly I'm inclined to agree to a little shelter.
Welcome dear travelers of the Bay12 boards, to Ozkakurrith, Carryscar, a Civilization Forge community fortress. We are the survivors of the Autumn Axe caravan company, lost between friendly lands in the shadow of a cave in a somewhat hot savanna/woodland. I will do my utmost to create a good tale for you all to enjoy, and I would love it if you guys would help me, because it's you fine folks who help make this stuff fun! Or, y'know, !!FUN!!, whichever, since I'll regularly post polls that you guys will use to dictate what we do next, which could easily result in deaths or injuries!
Now, as you may have noticed I, being the genius I am, forgot to grab a pic of the embark location. We're somewhere between either two Dyansauri settlements or a Dyansauri and some other race's town. I did however, remember to get a shot of our embark gear.
We have chalk on site, and our cave is made of the stuff. We have a brook, a moderate amount of wood, and a will to survive. And survive we shall.
Sorry about the wonky/substandard into, I'll touch it up later.
