"Well, should we perhaps go actually look?"

[chaotic skies]

*snaps book closed*

"Sounds good to me. Then I can get onto the interesting idea of how to build this thing without flooding something."

[chaotic skies]

<<merp>>

[Amperzand]

{Long inactive periods are, I'm afraid, to be expected. I'll probably update the few things that actually need an update soonish.}

[chaotic skies]

<<that's fine. I'm just wandering around the forums at 2AM, and looking into Einsteinian Roulette. Getting the same reaction as when I first saw DF:

F*CK. THIS.

And now here I am, roleplaying, and creating a false sense of securiy with the fact that I haven't had an attack of any king in almost 2 years.

And now I've jinxed myself.>>

"You know, we could just make the river fall into the caverns. Get magnetite , a form if iron ore, it's meant to be magnetic."

Spoiler: PSA (click to show/hide)

Right, so I felt a few things were useful to get down. To begin with, no double-posting. Second, spoiler boxes with somebody's name are the equivalent of a note handed to that person without me having to use PMs, please don't read them or, if you insist, make any notice of their contents unless you're that person.

Magus Patham tries to remember if he knows anything about the local religions. Sadly, he does not. There is a priest somewhere around here, and the Stranger, given the nature of his abilities, is probably acquainted with the various entities as well.

After a cursory consideration, said magus attempts to arrest the stranger in question.

While the would-be mechanics in the caverns continue their boozey attempts at productivity, a new Homelander arrives from parts unknown, immediately becoming involved with attempts to solve the fort's many problems.

Spoiler: State of the fortress (click to show/hide)

The fortress' defenses are damaged, but usable, the current main issue is a lack of defenders.

The current population is nineteen Local dwarves, in various states of injury, fifteen members of a merchant caravan, one massive eldritch being of living steel, and a variable number of Homelanders.

Supplies of food and booze, having been well-stocked for a population of seventy, are ample for the survivors. Assuming no change, the fortress will not need to worry about food for approximately four months, though continuing maintenance of infrastructure is recommended.

Weapons are in ready supply, Local and otherwise, though most available firearms- revolvers, break-action single barrel general purpose launchers, lever-action rifles, muskets, crude submachine guns, black-powder cannons, three-centimeter repeating guns, three remaining artillery guns -are fairly unreliable.

Ammunition is similarly available in mass quantities.

All crafting infrastructure constructed in the last three years is undamaged.

The Geothaum, while currently higher than usual after the Fall of Hesh Mevakron, seems likely to subside again, possibly to levels below the former standard.

You note that, if you can stomach dealing the the odd nature of the Voice, it might be able to provide useful information.

[Chevaleresse]

>since the resident magic experts are either 1. Busy or 2. ambiguously hostile, ask voice who Hesh Mevakron is and why their fall knocked me the fuck out.

[LordPorkins]

*Porkins goes to find the nearest settlement, or at worst to raid any nearby goblins for cloth.*

[chaotic skies]

<<So...journal updates, or are we still in live-action mode?>>

[TheBiggerFish]

The Magus encounters the priest.
"Ahem.  Do you have any idea what that was?"

[chaotic skies]

*The newcomer wanders off, presumably to look at the river*

[Amperzand]

{Given how things are, an odd combination, I'm afraid.}

[chaotic skies]

<<Ah. Well, I wouldn't be doing much for a bit anyway. Just measuring and planning, that kind of thing.>>

[Amperzand]

An armored dwarf, heavy bandages apparent under the plating, approaches you.

"I hear you wanted to see something in the caverns? I can show you the way down, make sure that damn monster in the basement doesn't think you're a danger."
