Expedition leader's log
1st Granite
We've finally arrived! Oudim and I begin digging out the upper part of the fort, the farms and food stockpile. I also ordered Rusri and Ritiri to chop down some trees.
8th Granite
While digging the main stairwell, we struck some chalk. Good to know we'll be able to make steel here. Also, a giant mosquito is wandering around, but it seems peaceful. Best not to do anything to piss it off.
12th Granite
I've learned that Rendell and Rusri have gotten engaged. That was quick, we haven't been here two weeks.
16th Granite
I designated the stockpile for food, causing everyone to bring in the food and seeds. I also marked out four 5x5 farming plots, two outdoor and two indoor. In addition, I desiganted the mining of farming workshops, belowground workshops, a hospital, our bedrooms, an office for the overseer, and a dining hall.
22nd Granite
Oudim went fishing in a pond but didn't catch anything. I also put the cats in the food stockpile to catch any vermin there.
23rd Granite
The two indoor farm plots were constructed, so I ordered what crops were to be planted at what time of year. I also ordered the wagon to be deconstructed.
2nd Slate
A second giant mosquito has joined the first. Oudim and I continue to dig.
7th Slate
The bedrooms, office, and hospital are finished being dug out. I ordered the building of two bags in the hospital to hold the medical supplies. I also designated a refuse stockpile.
13th Slate
While I wasn't looking, some idiot threw a few fireballs at one of the giant mosquitoes and set the whole surface on fire! We rushed to get all the flammable supplies underground. We left the anvil and phoenix leather quivers outside.
17th Slate
While our supplies were saved, the horses were engulfed by the fire. Miraculously, one survived with all the fat melted off her body. She must be half singe deer! I also discovered that it was Rendell who started the fire, the jerk.
25th Slate
The fire finally burned itself out. Before doing so, it killed our two dogs and several wild cavies. The first fire in an impish fort is a big event, but I didn't expect it so early. This does not bode well.
26th Slate
We finally got the belowground workshops dug out, so I ordered the construction of a mason's workshop, carpenter's workshop, two craftsman's workshops, a jeweler's workshop, and a mechanic's workshop.
28th Slate
The workshops are mostly done. I order the construction of 7 beds and 8 doors.
10th Felsite
The farmer's workshop spaces are dug out, as well as the refuse stockpile. The doors to the refuse stockpile and our bedrooms are placed. I designate the beds as ours. Finally, somewhere to sleep besides the floor!
12th Felsite
I designate a still, kitchen, butchery, tannery, fishery, and farmer's workshop. I also designate a large room to be dug out as our wood stockpile.
13th Felsite
I order 8 more beds for the hospital, as well as 6 tables for operating tables and traction benches. I also order some mechanisms and a statue to put in the middle of the hospital.
14th Felsite
The first crops are being harvested, sweet pods. I also tell what crops should be plated in the above-ground farm plots.
17th Felsite
Gamedragon has been unhappy at not doing anything but haul, so I tell him to make as many rock crafts as he can. Yessir, he says.
20th Felsite
Rusri tells me we only had enough wood for 5 out of 8 beds. Apparently the wood we harvested earlier got burnt up in the fire. I designate more trees for cutting.
27th Felsite
I order 3 tables to be turned into traction benches. I also designate a clothier's workshop and a loom for when we start needing clothing.
1st Hematite
It starts raining, which is surprising because this is supposed to be a desert. We really could have used it during the fire.
5th Hematite
I take a break. I'm long overdue, considering since we've arrived I've only stopped digging to eat, drink, sleep, and order people around.
7th Hematite
The wood stockpile gets finished so people start taking in wood between other jobs. Now our wood will be safe from fires. I tell Rusri to build those last three beds. Gamedragon also goes on break.
15th Hematite
Everyone is taking breaks. Nothing is really happening.
25th Hematite
Migrants! Finally! A brewer, a fish dissector, a fisherman, a farmer, a farmer/engineer, and a baby reindeer. They are all married but two have dead spouses. Nothing particularly useful, but more workers are always welcome. The engineer gets told to be a mechanic and the fish dissector and farmer get told to plant seeds.
6th Malachite
Goddammit, one of our cats adopted the goddamned fish dissector. Oudim and I start digging out more bedrooms for the new guys. I order 10 more beds.
14th Malachite
I noticed that all the stuff for the hospital was done, so I ordered it built. I also order 7 cabinets for our rooms.
((OOC: We now have a fully stocked hospital in the first summer. The best part is, this is fairly par for the course of my forts.))
18th Malachite
I order 5 of the 10 beds built. I also order some drinks brewed as we are running low.
25th Malachite
Rador, the brewer, tells me we don't have enough barrels to brew all the drinks I wanted him to. I order 5 large pots made. I also order 5 tables and chairs made for the dining hall.
2nd Galena
The other cat adopted that fish dissector. Grrrr. Somebody yelled that we didn't have a water source, but we have around 50 units of booze, so what does it matter?
6th Galena
I ordered the rope reeds, pig tails, and quarry bushes to be processed.
12th Galena
I ordered on table and chair to be built in the office, for the future overseer's use. I also ordered the other 5 beds to be built.
21st Galena
I ordered the plant fiber thred to be woven into cloth. I also ordered some rock blocks to be made so that we can floor over the above-ground farm.
24th Galena
I ordered the first four tables and chairs built in our dining hall. Hopefully now people will stop eating in the office.
1st Limestone
I ordered the construction of part of the roof to the outdoor farm.
8th Limestone
I ordered some more drinks brewed. I also ordered more of the roof to be built.
20th Limestone
I ordered a bunch more trees cut down. That'll keep eveyone busy for a while.
((OOC: I completely forgot to take any screenshots. Maybe next update will have a few.))
