so this is basically a mix of Prison Architect and Game of Thrones....... cool can somebody dwarf me I have an interesting idea for a character story

[Taupe]

Post the story ahead with the name, I'm sure we'll find an appropriate non-dead dwarf.

[Pearofclubs]

I'd like a turn, if possible.
If not, I'd happily settle for being dorfed.
Preferably someone with... wood burning.

Ask and ye shall be sent to Siberia

[Swords-Otter]

So I was going to do more of a story but I didn't have time so I'll just give you the jist of the character.

 Lord Lubbie was a noble from the mountain homes with a obnoxious amount of faith in humanity, when he heard of the plight of the dwarves here he was so troubled he decided to volunteer to come help manage the fortress. Because Lubbie is a very annoying person the king personally gave him permission do it just to get them out of the mountain halls

Lord Lubbie was a noble incharge of some small task at the mountain homes when he heard of the plight of the dwarves here, he decided to volunteer to come help manage the fortress. Because Lubbie is a very annoying person the king personally gave him permission do it just to get them out of the mountain halls

ok will dorf!

Spring
Look out there on the tundra. Do you see that patch of white that looks slightly different to the rest?

No?
Ok I know they're hard to spot but believe me there's a yeti out there.
I am neblime, I was sent to this shithole for supposed poaching. As you can surmise from my expert yeti-spotting skills I am infact a master hunter

No sir I didn't know I was hunting (bloodthirsty) cavies on the baron's land, I thought I was protecting the populace from these vile creatures

Spoiler:  I mean look at that thing (click to show/hide)

No I didn't know that that's a hammerable offence, just trying to feed my family sir.  Whats that you say?  I can choose banishment instead?  Well sir I do doubt my body, mighty as it is can withstand 50 hammerstrokes.
Long story short they sent me all the way up here to freeze with the other poor bastards a few months ago.
Sent to escort me was an insufferable dwarf by the name of Lord Lubbie (he insists on the lord part) who actually CHOSE to come here.

He certainly doesn't seem like the hardworking type.
despite our miserable circumstances some dwarves seem happy to start a family in this wretched place.

The de facto overseer, honeymoon decided she would focus more on the administrative tasks of running this place, such as bookkeeping and managing, and chose me as the most eligible candidate (either that or she pointed in a random direction and I happened to be there) to call the shots around here.

Maybe living here won't be all bad, but we have a lot of work to do. 
First thing's first, we walled off a significant portion of the caverns for farming but never made them hospitable in the least.  I order the area to be cleared and some bedrooms to be constructed.

I'm sure the problem of finding wood for the beds will solve itself..
A very excited woodcutter interrupted my duties in the caverns for a moment to tell me he had created something

Spoiler: thats.. thats great buddy (click to show/hide)

He seemed to be very proud of it so I pretended to be impressed, but was interrupted by a brief scream and then a splash.  this is what happens when I get distracted for a single moment!

Apparently one of our soldiers had scaled the wall out to the caverns proper for some reason, and was dragged down into the water and killed by a giant olm that seems to be nowhere to be seen now.
Two dwarves arrived the next day however, sent from the mountainhomes for whatever unspecified crimes, so I'm not worried about keeping the numbers up. 
as long as we're all careful (and don't scale walls and go fight cave monsters)

[Swords-Otter]

In the dining hall a crowd of dwarves are silently talking amongst themselves as they eat their meals unaware of a lone dwarf standing at one end of the room waiting for the rest to take notice. After waiting for a good few minutes he clears his throat loudly but still no one notices the lone dwarf then in a quiet voice he says
"ehem excuse me....." still no one notices louder this time "Excuse me!!" the noise in the room suddenly vanishes as every eye fixes on the dwarf. he says in a confident tone "well I'm glad as a button to have gotten your attention. I would just like to introduce myself I am Lord Lubbie and I volunteered to come here to" suddenly the entire room burst into laughter cutting the dwarf off. He waits patiently quietly laughing along with the rest. as soon as the laughter dies down he continues "Well I'm certainly glad you all are so happy at this I would just like to tell you that I plan on....."
 he proceeds to go on and on about true virtue and making the fort into a fort of redemption. Meanwhile all the other dwarves look around confusedly at one another trying to understand why he was still talking on after the joke was over. then it dawns upon them one by one that it was not a joke and that this dwarf really was a lunatic         

[Immortal-D]

I like where this is headed.  Please Dorf me as a Marksdwarf, once a suitable candidate is available.

What's not to like? In this fort, it was a genuine achievement that only one dorf died in the first turn!
Gonna be a whole lot of fun

[Gojira1000]

I'll be impressed if we survive the inescapable zombie apocalypse.

[Deus Asmoth]

Covering the overworld with lava would get rid of the zombie apocalypse, though I guess that'd have its own set of problems.

[Taupe]

mainly it would flood the base, with said base.

[neblime]

that magma plan sounds good..
next part should be up in a day or so I hope

[Salmeuk]

mainly it would flood the base, with said base.

If you filled the ice walls with magma, you might instead recreate the entire base out of obsidian.

Neither result bodes particularly well for the dwarfs.
