Cog made it back to Elven civilization, hopping from forest to forest until he reached one of the larger metreepolitan areas. Some inquisitive Elves asked why he was traveling, a few offered kind or cautious words, with the only encounter of note being one moment where Cog stayed over at the abode of a crazy Elf.
This Elf was completely insane, perhaps having spent too many centuries alone in their tree. Cog could not even hear any peregrine falcon nearby, perhaps the Elf was imagining things. The Elf didn't pay Cog much heed. Figuring that this Elf was just as good as any, Cog asked if they wanted to join his adventure!
After consulting with what was possibly a coconut with falcon-shaped markings painted on, the Elf decided that helping Cog was not worth it. Probably right too. With that, Cog left 1,100 coconuts richer, beginning a short career as a humble coconut merchant.
The great city... Forest... Thing? The Forest collection of Riddlepear was a wonderful thing to behold, so many Elves going about their lives with the bustling of gangsters, merchants and depressed lonely elves. Cog wandered through blindly, dressed resplendently in a pig tail fibre coat dashed in spikes of emerald, carnelian and marble, his head obscured by a midnight blue silk hood, a leather cloak and toga adorned over all enricled with bone and galena cabochons, an ornamented silver warhammer and willow shield strapped to his back, Cog was a veritable coconut merchant of immense value with merchants all around him vying for his wealthy attention. He didn't however, have much to spend his fortune on - so merely purchased a fine net's worth of a hundred mangoes.
When I wrote this the polls were tied, so I left it to the Random Number God to decide. Flipping a coin, heads north, tails south, it landed on heads - towards the island we go! Or rather, went. I've also added [AMPHIBIOUS] for the time being to Dorfs so the game stops trying to drown Cog for stepping in a puddle even though he's an expert swimmer. This means I can set forth immediately for the island and attempt an oceanic swim without having to wait several seasons in the elf lands for winter to approach.
I say Cog spends some time waiting for the sea to freeze over. He can train some storytelling skills in that time.
Can Cog read or write?
He never learned how to read or write so no. Also he's blind
He's playing an older version, but it's some DFHack magic (Especially difficult now)
oh, okay thx ^^
Yeah, ☼Another☼ is right
