[mahrgell]

I'm on vacataion until thursday, so donn't expect any updates until then

[MerkerBenson]

you're evil incarnate for making us wait that long!

[kingu]

How in the name of Armok do you repell armored dwarfs? or any other invaders/ambushes early on?
 I tried a bold-fort with no traps and other handicaps and when I hit pop 25 or so a bunch of macedwarfs showed up and brutally massacred al my poorly armed bolds and their warbeasts. I couldnt even scratch the skin of ONE dwarf...

I have the utmost respect for you skill good sir.

[Fairin]

hes got steel weaponry on everyone, and at least two druids (bear form steal aura)

[mahrgell]

Erm yeah... I'm almost through the season... But most of the Bolds aren't. Bloody hell...

[Tenderroast]

mahrgell, you say that like its a bad thing. I foresee much entertainment from it.

[mahrgell]

23rd Moonstone
Everyone surely would be busy, if we would have just to take care of the injured... Especially since the water supply is failing us quite badly, it seems, that the water often freezes on the way from the reservoir to the patients... Not sure they (aka half of the fortress) will survive.
But then nature decides to send us all it has...

Yes, those are all kills from the last ingame week... (except the dwarf)

1st Opal
Today 6 Bolds left the hospital....
They moved to the burial area below the mainpath.

Good bye fellows.

11th Opal
4 more, including PaluII and Kingu died. Our numbers are dwindling...

26th Opal
One more thirst death, and 40 dead animals later...

12th Obsidian
Mayday, mayday, we are sinking

Officially we have about two dozen Kobolds in our militia. In reality we may have about 15... The rest is in the hospital or doing some weird nonsense.

13th Obsidian
There are some bad news and some good news:
Bad: Everything dying.


Good: The shield dancer are really good at dodging...

Okay, I lied. There is another bad news:

More Drow!

15th Obsidian
I won. What? Yeah...

Not sure those useless Bolds killed a single Drow, but they all jumped into the water... awesome!
Officially the Drow lost 12 men, while we lost only 10 Bolds. Among them were PaluIII and Dawnofdarkness. Okay, dawn never saw a Drow, but died in the hospital due to thirst during the battle.

17th Obsidian
Now the dark brethren of the Drow joined the fun.

Actually we won this battle as well. We? ... Uh... Well... This may be a bit inaccurate. Actually only one of us fought the Drow. ArcvastiII was still in spirit bear form and quickly killed two of the thieves. Then the third one got him before jumping into the water. That makes 3 Deep Drow and one bear down. I'm running out of healthy Kobolds to name...


1st Granite
WEHAAAW!
We survived. Okay, we may have lost a few Bolds... But only a few...
Oh, and I just noticed that TemptsfateIV found a super clever hiding spot...

Well... actually he is only alive, because for some reason our reservoir is always losing water and no one cared to pump fresh water in...
But I guess those few Bolds still alive are busy cleaning up that mess, that is our entrance... But while looking through it, I found at least 3 Drow corpses. Looks we actually killed some... Awesome!


Originally this fort was not supposed to be about survival but about building a submarine... Not sure I will ever get close to that... because right now it is all about survival!

[palu]

Why don't you set up traps? Are they against your rules? You could set up some nasty bridge traps to drop them into the ocean.

[Arcvasti]

Why don't you set up traps? Are they against your rules? You could set up some nasty bridge traps to drop them into the ocean.

No boring exploits

[kamikazi1231]

Gaaar, obviously as pirates the sea is both a caring lover and a cruel mistress not to be crossed.  Water pumped freezes in the buckets but then the sea kills most of the ninja drow too. A pirates life is tough.

[mahrgell]

12th Granite
Another thirst death. Not because some freezing issue. But because we saved TemptsfateIV... And no one feels like reconstructing the wall form the reservoir and refilling it. Yay...

21st Granite
MIGRANTS!!! YAY!
15 new Bolds, this is more then doubling our adult population!
To celebrate their arrival, we flush one of our Bolds into the ocean, when trying to repair the water reservoir. Not sure why, but our bolds refuse to use bone blocks to rebuild the wall, so we now build it out of silver. Decadence at it's best!

Oh and we ran out of thread. Get into the tunnels!
But this is actually a good sign. Because it means that someone is taking care of the wounded...

But I also had time to check the named Bolds... Looks like a few more died, then I noticed...
Now everyone is named again, and I think the following screenshot has most of the information... Don't ask me, what wounds you guys all have exactly... Most Bolds are missing a limb or two ^^ (Oh and dawnofdarkness is now dawn, because otherwise he does not fit the number)


9th Slate

MahrgellII: Heyaaaaa, I'm back! How is every.... OH FUCK!!!
Jonross: Tallyho!
MahrgellII: What happened while I was meditating? Are you guys unable to do anything alone?
CptCrunchyIII: Uh... We fought some Drow and Dwarves.... Didn't go so well.
MahrgellII: But didn't I say, that we will attack the Drow once I'm back?
PaluIV: Uh.... They attacked us!
MahrgellII: Uhm... but looks like some of you are still alive...
Razorback: Sure, a good old machete solves every problem!
PaluIV: As your kills on a wombat, a lion and an Elf show...
Razorback: Hey at least I'm on of the few from the first generation!
MahrgellII: Anyway, with my new druidic power, We will finally be able to face those creatures and fight them properly! Let's start with those stranglers there! CHAAAAAAAAAAARGE!!!!
Razorback: That was my line...

Result:

Yes really... This awesome Bold morphed into a druid, and ran to the stranglers (okay, I ordered my Bolds to do that) and drowned right away. YES!

5th Slate
Okay, we should add a new first lesson in Kobold school, first class: Bears can't swim.
One of the children of MahrgellII, that was also transformed into a druid just jumped off the bridge while fighting wombats...

20th Slate
Finally the surge of hostile animals ended. We have killed over 100 animals during the last few weeks... Slowly this is getting really really annoying...

25th Slate
Wow, some good news... First attempt to steal from Dwarves... It wasn't what we hoped for, but still some decent start!


13th Felsite
Welcome to fun season.


14th Felsite
Fairin was the first to die but caused the stupid elf bladedancer and his raptor to jump into the water. Kobolds can be true heroes sometimes. Oh yeah, and more Elves arrived...

Let's pretend MahrgellIII and LmeireIII tried to killed the drowning Elf...


15th Felsite
All other Elves fled, as their leader finally drowned... Oh and the Automatons fled too.  Yeah, we didn't kill a single one, but had 3 victims on our own side, all named. That is just how awesome we are. So now we killed a bunch of coyotes...
Anyway... now let's get back to work. We also have 9 Bolds with status 'Rest'

16th Felsite
Erm... Change of plans!

And somehow the Goblins proved to be a much tougher foe then what we had encountered before. We lost 4 unnamed Bolds and KinguII without even scratching them... And they were only 6 flagellants...

17th Felsite
2 more Bolds had to die before their leader finally jumped into the water and caused them to rout.
The last remaining unnamed adult bold, that isn't heavily injured is now named KinguIII.
I NEED MORE BOLDS!
Btw, many things may go wrong at this camp... but there is one booming business. Never running out of materials or customers...


1st Hematite
Spring is finally over... We are alive... somehow...
This is a quick overview over our population.

If you need some help with translation:
'Rest' = dead meat in the hospital
'No Job' = dead meat outside the hospital (not enough beds in the hospital)
I'm actually quite lucky, that the Kobold children do their castework even during their childhood.

[mahrgell]

OUCH.... I didn't remember the camp to be as horrible as it now turned out... Before the vacation it looked quite... manageable...
But now the 2 seasons I already posted updates for and now the third one are... tough...

[kamikazi1231]

You have so many animal attacks... you should try a similar challenge eventually as warlock.  You'd be drowning in ghouls minions by now with that much meat and bone.

[mahrgell]

And what should I do with approx. 500 ghouls in 2 years?

[mahrgell]

5th Hematite
As if there is not enough to do... coyotes... Lately they never cause too much trouble, besides lost time... But this time was different... Oh, and I have no Bolds left over for rebolding...


7th Hematite
Jonross also fell. This makes razorback the only survivor from the original 7.

26th Hematite

Make yourself useful! And fight coyotes!

27th Hematite
Looks like they were not prepared for the task...

Well... so I'm again out of Bolds for naming...

1st Malachite
As we are still busy fighting off animals, 4 Bolds including TenderroastII and ArcvastiIII died of thirst in the hospital.

4th Malachite
We are going down. Our last survivor just starved to death in the hospital. And at the same time, it looks like our record holder, PaluV, jumped off the bridge.


19th Malachite
We were once more then 50 Bolds... Now things look grim.


28th Malachite
While we had a few more losses, including TemptsfateIV, who died because of thirst, we now have some good news.

More victims for names!

4th Galena
Looks like everyone has given up.
JinrossII just died to a bunch of cougars, and TenderroastIII and Razorback just jumped into the water again...
Let's describe the situation of the camp in one screenshot:


13th Galena
As CptCrunchyIV is unable to kill off all the dingos, he now found some new training partners...



16th Galena
Game Over...


17th Galena
And so our glorious leader and captain, CptCrunchyIV actually managed to become the last Bold standing. Well, not standing..., but he is lying in a bed in the corner of the hospital, and somehow the Humans killed all other Bolds in the hospital but him...



19th Galena
But in the end they found him as well....
