Spriggans' log :
"Life finds its way"Time goes. The gates are closed. No Sighted dwarves are there. We are on our own.
We are now 28, if I counted correctly, living in the tower of Blindness.
Before I sealed the gates of the Tower, I assigned a female dwarf, 'Kate' to be in charge of the fort.
The Blinded kind will live in the tower, with myself as manager; and Kate will assume rulership for all the Sighted dwarves, in the fortress.
Kate is a good friend of mine, she volunteered for this hard task.
She will be in charge of dropping items to the tower. I trust her to give us what we need, such as materials and drinks.
Eearly summer 210 :
Kate told me that in the fortress, something amazing happened ! A new artifact ! Faiy is now a legendary Engraver, the only one in the place !
Well... That's great for the Sighted, and Kate, and all...
But we really don't care !Because today, life found its way twice ! It was such a wonderful day in the Tower !
You've heard it ! One of the babies was mine ! I told my husband Id about that, we were so happy !
This baby was the most beautiful thing I saw. Except... you know, I can't see him. But he was so nice. His skin was so soft, and I could imagine his two little blue eyes !
And, the best is, he is medically fine ! He's not blistered nor blind
yet ! That's such a relief !
Mid summer 210 :
Kate told me the other day that she saw some blinded dorfs in the fortress !
I've created 3 squads to control the blinded better, and to get them in the Tower in a more reliable way.
I also have some really good news ! The farms are now all done !
The blinded used the well to fetch water on the ground. Mud appeared and farm plots were made.
We planted some crops, and hopefully, we'll be able to make our own alcohol soon.
Here are the farms, there is grand a total of 13 farming squares !
Okay, okay. They are not really "hygienic"... I know there's a toad and cat's pus in there... But what do you want from us crippled lepers ?!
We are 28 there ! And every single one of us is expelling pus as our skins are melting ! Of course the place is going to be dirty !
And don't forget I removed the "cleaning" job for all the Blinded to increase the dirtiness effect.If you think our farms are un-clean, take a look at these :
The well, in which we drink everyday ! : Someone vomited there (OOC, how can a blind dwarf be nauseated by the sun remains a mistery to me...)
Or, the worst : the drake nests. A place in which we grab the eggs that we eat everyday.
So, yeah... Blinded dwarves are dirty !
Now give us a break !
Time goes. Summer's almost at an end.
We created a bigger room on the top floor.
I decided to put my quarters in there. I deserve them, as the natural ruler of the Immortality Tower.
I will also create a squad of "Blinded champions". Their barracks will be up there when I have selected them.
If I have the time, I will put an hospital up there, so that we can heal our blisters at least a little.
Brrr ! Kate told me something frightening today.
Apparently, they have spotted a giant snake lurking in the caves below us.
I hope for her the miners sealed the caverns properly.
She told me the beast destoyed a Gorlak in a matter of seconds.
"Sanene massacred the Gorlak ! Help us, Spriggans !" "Sanene is strong, we need your help, Spriggans." Kate said.
"For now, the beast is trapped inside, but it must be killed as soon as possible !" I refused. As there is still work to be done in the Tower.
Kate turned away, apparently pissed.
But what do you want ! This beast is not our problem ! Sanene is deep underground and us, Blinded, are high up ! I don't see why we would be concerned !
End of summer 210 :
It's hot today ! Autumn is upon us, and my personal quarters are
almost done.
All I need is one last statue of myself, and everything will be fine.
As the Tower's only mason, I'll make the statue. It'll be glorious.
Now, let's fetch some stones !
OOC :
Ahahah ! I died to a falling log.
I ordered logs dumped in the tower because the Blinded needed wood.
I forgot that some dwarves, me included, were still gathering items from the drop zone. I totally overlooked that !
I'm dead now... My bad xP
But I have plans for the rest of the year, hopefully I have enough time...
Expect a change of writing style in the next release
