You guys still seem to assume there is an organized military... :(
Nope, there won't be. We are doing this the Kobold-way. Or maybe it were lemmings? Always mixing those up...
If it fails, I can still try again with a more organized approach.

@arcvasti
Surely building above ground, if well connected is okay. I do not intend to do it too much in my first attempt, but well, if there would be only one way to play, those rules would be nonsense, so I kept them a bit open here.

It is updatetime.... And I haven't even unpaused....
I tried colorcoding the text, but not sure that was a good idea... Looks like bunch of smarties... Would be nice, if you have suggestions, how to do it in future...

Mahrgell: Shit, our wagon broke down. Damn thing. Should have known it, when the guy said, that it was dwarven made, that it was a lie. But hey, I cheated him on the coins, so guess we are even.
Antom: Hey you, what are we doing here? Damn cold, let's continue!

Jintino: Idiot! Don't you see, the wagon is gone!
Antom: So what? We can't stay here! I'm freezing. And I didn't want to come with you anyway!
Razorback: But now you are here, but true... It's way too cold here.  What are we gonna do? Who can fix the wagon?
-silence-
Razorback: Erm guys, who can repair the wagon?
-silence-
Razorback: Erm... erm...
Mahrgell: Okay, as your High Priestess I decide, that the toad gods have chosen this as the location of our new temple.
Shens: WAIT! WHAT?
Antom: No way I'm staying here!
Palu: And since when are you a Highpriestess?
Mahrgell: Well, surely our new temple needs a High Priestess... And I'm a dartfrog... This is surely the closest to a toad of what we have here!
-from the back- *croak*
Mahrgell: Well, among the Kobolds!
Razorback: You aren't telling me anything!
Antom: Yeah, I'm gonna leave!
Shons: uaaaaah! Why did I lick that toad? Nooooooo! I deserve better!!! I don't wanna be here! I never wanted to join this trip!
Mahrgell: Ah, so who do we have here? Mr Tough, Mr Iwillwalktoverthiswholefuckingglacieralone and Mr crybaby? Get your shit together. There is no other choice!
Palu: And how are we are going to survive here? There is not a single tree around here, it is damn cold, there is no water, no food.
Mahrgell: We have almost 60 logs and a bunch of animals, that is surely enough building material and food for quite some time. What did you expect? Some luxury hotel? True believers never had it easy.


Antom: Then I don't wanna believe in this toad bullshit anymore.
-from the back- *croak*
Shons: We are all gonna die, uaaaaah
Mahrgell: Shut up! So anyone has any useful skills, we can use?
-silence-
Mahrgell: …
Palu: I was just there, because they said, there was free juice...
Jintino: Me too...
Antom: And then all that was there, were those stupid toads we had to lick....
-from the back- *croak*
razorback: But hey, that stuff wasn't that bad.
-from the back- *croak* *croak*
Shens: But look where it brought us... That IS bad.
Mahrgell: Awesome... Should have known, that this is a band of useless ones...
razorback: Hey! Do YOU have any skills?
Mahrgell: Well, I'm a dartfrog and your High priestess!
Razorback: Then, as a badger, who is clearly the most fearsome animal, I hereby declare myself Warband Marshal!
Mahrgell: Whatever you say...
Palu: So now who does what?
Mahrgell: Everyone does, what he does best!
Palu: But no one does anything good.
Mahrgell: Toad damnit!
-from the back- *croak*
Mahrgell: Then everybody does everything! Is this clear?
Antom: Meh, I'm not doing anything!
Shons: uaaaaaaaah. We are all gonna die!
Mahrgell: Could you two finally shut up?
Razorback: Erm...  As our new Warband marshal I request some soldiers under my command!
Mahrgell: Are you deaf? I said everyone does everything! So everyone is a soldier as well

Razorback: So everyone is under my command?
Mahrgell: Yes... and No... argh... Whatever, do what you want!
Razorback: EVERYONE!!! Start your training now!
Mahrgell: No... Just no... There won't be any training... They have to work...
Razorback: What? Awesome warband... Why am I even leading this bunch of idiots?
Mahrgell: Because you are a mighty badger...
Palu: *giggle*
Mahrgell: I just checked our supplies, we even brought 6 furs and more then 30 pieces of meat!
Palu: SIX? SIX furs? What is this? We are SEVEN!
Mahrgell: Meh... I will find some solution...
Palu: Do you also find a solutin for our thirst? And do we have anthing to drink with us?
Mahrgell: Uh... no, we don't.
Kobold chorus: WHAAAAAAAT?
Shons: uaaaaaaaah. We are all gonna die!
Mahrgell: Hey... did you all forget how you got here?
Artom: Damn toads!
-from the back- *croak*
Jintino: You aren't serious, are you?
Mahrgell: I surely am... lick the toad!
-from the back- *croak* *croak* *croak*

Jintino: Shit...
Artom: No way!!!
Mahrgell: Then have fun, finding anything else to drink... Let's get to work.



In case you didn't figure it out...
I embarked with:
no starting skills (cuz we are Kobolds, yeah!)
- 62 logs
- 34 food
no other items (who needs those anyway...)
- 24 jackrats (20 F + 4 M)
- 5 shalswars (3+2)
- 12 toads (10+2)

Oh yeah... And we are a bunch of Kobolds, that were recruited by some sect believing in the sacred toad... Well, recruited under the false promise of free juice... but once you lick the toad... no turning back... Suddenly they found themselves on a trip in the middle of the ice, send out to build a temple for the sacred toad... Have fun!
*CROAK*

Oh yeah, and we have no friends:

As the embark is telling most, this were 2 things I kept until now.
Yes, there will be only one sort of drinks... Toad venom... I'm not sure how often they can be milked, but every round produces 100 drinks, so it should be enough for now... And later... :D No clue... Well... some clue... but that is far away and fucking dangerous... ^^
And then about the military.... I always said, there is no organized/dedicated military... Yeah, because EVERY bold will be in the military.. We do not train, but everyone has to fight... Sure, they will die like droves, but then the enemies suffocate under the number of Kobold corpses!!!
For those shining stars in my ranks, that manage to get a certain number of kills (lets start with 5, may raise it to 10, if it turns out too low), I will make some special squad. Maybe they get even better equipment ^^ When I get better equipment... ^^

Haha i love it!

And i would certainly appreciate kamikazis idea of an 'death count':
every named bold will be replaced by a new one (maybe same sign?) with ongoing numbers.

Winner is who has the lowest count at the end (not saying that this great adventure will soon collaps^^)

It's all fun and games until half your kobolds turn into rams.

So will the toads be sacred in the way that RL cows are in India or cats in Ancient Egypt? 'Cause I love the idea of giant venom-dripping toads just running amok all over town and getting in everyone's way, and kobolds helpless to stop them for fear of accidentally hurting the Great Ones.

Bold me too, please.

I wasn't expecting toad extract to be their main sustenance. I was thinking bloodwine from jack rats would be your drink of choice, but this is about 200% more hilarious and will undoubtedly result in SHENANIGANS.The military system sounds fun, zerg rushing anything hostile to death is a good pastime. Plus in my normal kobold forts, my main problem is finding work for my 100+ excess kobolds, so this solves that too. I think I'll start my own frozen kobold fort when this fort has survived a year. Not quite sure I want to devote a new thread to something this radical before I know that this challenge isn't impossible. Actually, I might make it a TERRIFIYING glacier for bonus points if I think I can survive it. It'll depend on the category of terror the biome has.Thralling clouds would be best as I have experience in dealing with them and they are properly malevolent. Terrifying biomes make everything that much more terrific. Especially glaciers.

Only drinking Toad Extract? You are cray cray. Out of curiosity i checked out the RAWs for the Toad Extract effects. I will not spoil anything but oh boy...

Don't bold people.  Toad them!  Then they may actually be able to survive for a while.
