Journal of Sumyunguy: In the 66th year of Armok
1st Granite, 66Here we are at this accursed place... Damn, it's cold.
The surrounding area is frozen, a faint wind howls through the icy trees...
What I wouldn't give for a warm yak tallow roast right about now.
I lay down some plans for the initial dig. The surrounding animals don't seem too aggressive, but I don't want to stay up in the cold for much longer.
I tell the woodcutter to start chopping, we might need to bring some logs down quickly.
9th Granite, 66The soil here breaks easily under the fall of our picks. Supplies have begun to fill our newly designated stockpiles...
I was told this place was haunted by the ghosts of old, but all I see are birds...
You albatrosses might fool the others... But not me.
I have my eyes on all of you...21st Granite, 66AHA! Precious stone! Our miners have outdone themselves, digging out the new workshops and striking some ore. This will give us a fine place to carve out our bedrooms.
27st Granite, 66Well the group of albatrosses left, but then came this...
Damn birds! I don't like em'... Especially the undead kind.
Well, could be undead elephants, so there's that. Time to lock up the fort. Leave the large animals outside, as we don't need them turning on us.
9th Slate, 66Digging the bedrooms proceeds nicely, and we soon will be able to lock ourselves in with the help of our mechanic. Meanwhile, the zombie eagle entertains itself by chasing the local sea otters.
18th Slate, 66Bedrooms are going well, some sleepy volunteers try out the fine beds.
I have also dug out a garbage pile to place our refuse. It is locked with a door, just in case a hamster comes back for revenge upon our cat.
25th Slate, 66I figure us dwarves could use a fine dining room, as I know I am sick of eating off the floor. I carve some tables and chairs from the rocks we dug up in the bedrooms. The center hall of the bedrooms is as good of a place as any.
8th Felsite, 66I've been busy carving doors from stone lately. I've also started the local craftsdwarf on a constant order of crafts for our planned future caravan arrival. We've dug out a wagon accessible area to house our depot.
10th Felsite, 66I've gotten some time to myself latley, and had a chance to meet with some of our dwarves.
A stout woodcutter, Maskwolf's size hides her strength well! A lull in the undead has given me confidence, and I send Maskwolf outside to snag some more logs.
Update 2:
15th Felsite, 66I've commissioned the miners to start the search for more precious stones. A long tunnel down will let us get closer to the good stuff.
1st Hematite, 66Ahh! Summer has come, and things are starting to warm up.
The ocean to the southwest remains frozen. I guess no fine salmon on my plate tonight.
6th Hematite, 66I've begun to dig a tomb for myself down in the depths of the world.
Nothing ornate, just something that my body can sit in when I expire. I plan on carving out more graves for others on the same level.
22nd Hematite, 66Holy hell!
To hell with the logs, someone get Maskwolf back inside! Shut the gate!
Whew... Damn zombies.
1st Malachite, 66Nothing really eventful happening. The pack animals we had are still outside with all the undead, Miners chip away at rock, and I take my mind off things for a while... Tables don't carve themselves!
8th Malachite, 66Migrants! Fools, we have nothing but dirt and stone bracelets here! Open the gate!
Hi, welcome to BogClasps... No we don't fish here, to the fields with you... You look like a mighty warrior indeed.
"I am a blacksmith." Oh...
STOP FISHING WE DON'T DO THAT HERE! Shut the gate!
19th Malachite, 66I now have some masons who can help with all the furniture. My hands were getting numb from chiseling anyway.
20th Malachite, 66I hear something outside... Might have a look see.
The Buffalo is hurt, but I think I finally found a might warrior.
Indeed!...
I also order the dining hall smoothed. We are moving up in life!
26th Malachite, 66The stockpile of food has been expanded. And more combat continues outside, but nothing worth noting rather than the undead raven deaths...
Even the animals hate the birds!
26th Malachite, 66I think the birds did some of the animals in.... I have yet to tell the owners of the lamb and gobbler, but I believe the gobbler is fine.
Or maybe it has developed a case of undeath.
...
I also met the brewer who has been responsible for all the fine drink latley. WoobMonkey. A strange name, but her brews are stellar none the less.
13th Galena, 66I try to reorganize the entrance, but the stupid carpenters won't get off their butts and wall some stuff in! GET UP!
13th Galena, 66What the hell is that horse doing in here! Get outside before I make a pit to throw you in!
Lets get that door up fast! And someone pit this horse!
28th Galena, 66That's great!
...
Wait...
...
DAMN IT'S OUT AGAIN! Throw it back in!
10th Limestone, 66That's much better.
Mission accomplished! Pit completed!
14th Limestone, 66The days get colder once more. As do the zombies.
Time to catch up on some statues for the dining hall.
15th Limestone, 66My tomb is complete. I now call the miners to dig the lesser catacombs.
24th Limestone, 66More migrants. Ugh.
All pets/animals to the pit! All fishers to the fields!
1st Sandstone, 66KILL IT!
YEAH! BACK TO HELL WITH YOU!
Sorry about your teeth, bud. But they get pitted, too!
14th Sandstone, 66I've ordered some stone dropped down the hole where our zombie friends stay. That should stop the moaning I hear down there for a bit. Also have started a project involving lots of traps with a pit. Muhahahah!
5th Timber, 66Food stocks sit well, but I will ask WoobMonkey to brew some more dwarven wine.
5th Timber, 66A cavern!
Now I can look for some fine metal!
...
We don't have any? Well that's just !!GREAT!!
But we do have some merchants!
Quick! Grab our finest cinnabar crafts!
...
Here, take all of our stuff! We'll take your booze, bars, wood, tools, barrels...
Yeah, yeah... Just leave so we can meltdo... I mean cherish these toy forges.
OOC: Yeah, I can't finish my own save. I swear if it was so close to the holidays I might have time. Gonna pass the save on the the next player. Lemme get it up.
