Partially in honor of ColonelTEE3's late topic of similar nature, this is an RPG thread where various posters sign up to be dwarves in the fortress of Helms-Hoisted.

In the world of Smata Kusnath, The Realm of Dragons, a small group of seven dwarves leave their mountain homes in Angonul, the Red Mirror, to set out and found a new fortress:

   
Green dot = fortress location.

(Note: Getting so many neat names wasn't easy, but it was damn worth it)

The party consisted of two miners, a carpenter/woodcutter, a mason/architect, a craftsdwarf/mechanic, a grower/herbalist, and a fisherdwarf/fishcleaner:

   

(As you can see, I'm using a slightly modified Dystopian Rhetoric object tileset- note the black cats already...)

The dwarves are unsettled by the haunting atmosphere, and even more so by the ogre staring at them from across the river:

   

The trumpeting of elephants, the dwarf's natural enemy, in the distance did nothing to encourage the party...

Who's up for some dwarf slaughtering?

Your brewer and/or craftsdwarf is here. Are they zombie elephants?

Ok, I'm game. I'll maybe do one myself later. For now, let's die to elephants!

How does this work?

[Xenomorph]

I'm in again.  Just not as a hunter

[JimmyJ]

It won't let me edit my above post, so I will say it down here, can I be the carpenter/woodcutter??

[Shzar]

I would like to be the mason, if I may.

[herrbdog]

Hmm... grower/herbalist... right up my alley! (I use those professions irl, though not for profit =p)

[Cerej]

Yo, I'd like to be the miner.  That way I'm working in relative safety.  Not that it will do me any good.  Seriously, I've been playing a lot of games on a site with skeletal elephants, and they have charged deep into the mountain to slaughter.

At least as the miner I know I get plenty of warning, and I have a semi-deadly object to use in my defense.

Requesting the position of engraver when the job becomes economical/available to your fort since ColonelTEE3's thread appears to have stopped now  .

[Ancient_Sleeping_Dude_Rei]

I'd like the position of the first marksdwarf you get, preferably a squad leader  

Edit: oh, and call him spelguru, since thats what I normally use

I'd like to be the other miner please  
Preferably the one that doesn't dig the first tile into the river, goes legendary, and then is safeguarded against accidentally attempting to find the lava  

[Rooster]

I want to be crafts dwarf! and assing him to buthchering and leather working/tanning.
hope he gets fey and make an artifact!

[DuncanFrost]

I'll be a dirty siege-engineer/operator   :p

[Commoners]

Woodcutter or Carpenter dwarf for me.
