{You did not. Pretty easy to do, too. Not much good if you fight soldiers in platemail or much of anything with proper ranged weapons, but probably handy to have around.}

Heiterverzweiflung. Not a legit German word so much as something a friend and I made up in German class once. "Carefree despair". When life is so fucked that you can't stop laughing.

Lord Lemonpie is recruiting for a scouting expedition into the caverns. Scraping up enough food for the journey is proving problematic, but a variety of people have already volunteered. One of the well-armed yet unprofessionally dressed dwarves who seem to be loyal to the local civilian authorities has brought a half dozen volunteers from the musketeers' corps to provide firepower. Additionally, three serfs and two of the local Lord's guard in their platemail have chosen to come.

The food issue must be accounted for, as must any desired equipment for the trip.

Sounds of frustrated dwarves came from the farmers' workshop.
"What do you mean 'dralthas aren't milkable'? Then what have I been milking all this years?
...Male dralthas what? Oh... Well, in any case, what am I suppoused to milk?
...Purring maggots? But I absolutely detest them! Where are they, anyway?
...What do you mean I have to go get my own! Oh, bloody 'ell okay, I'll head into the caverns.
Bloody deep dwarves..."

My second turn's unnoficial goal was to turn everyone into vampires, and it backfired so bad, I ended up making the fort a more efficient, safer and friendlier place.
Apparently they evolved a taste for everything I love and care about

The stranger enters the library secretively, and begins searching for something. He looks panicked, and is constantly looking over his shoulder to see if he's being watched.

The library is a small, open room full of scholars. They give the stranger odd looks and keep an eye on him, but take no action so far.

Mate the 888th approaches the expeditionary force wearing only his civilian clothing, a quarter-staff and a cat leather cap he totally didn't steal from the farmers.
"Oi, when is this starting? You reckon I could find any purring maggots down there?

After contemplentation, Moony considered the possibility of reinventing the electric trolley in this world. He will spend what time he can designing, gathering materials for, and building a concept run for this.
(( These trolleys, not the ones intended for transporting a person. And in this case, moony will be exchanging batteries for fixed railing, likely in the form of copper bars embeded into the floor, one for positive, one for negative. ))
