Zareth Mosos, The desert of tragedy
« on: December 17, 2007, 11:11:00 am »

After my original attempt of creating a community fortress was all too suddenly ended(still angry) I have come up with a story that deals about 200 years later (eventho the calendar still sais 1051)

   

same deal as always, need 6 people to join, will embark tomorrow
if by then not enough people have joined, they can still join, but won't be able to pick their proffesion


Akroma's log 20th Obsidian 1251

The world I lived in is no more. For hundreds of years elven scientists warned us, that burning too much bitumous coal in our furnaces would cause the everlasting dimension of oracles to heat up, but we never believed them.
Who would believe these pointy-eared treehuggers anyway ?

Me neither

But our caravan returned with strangest sightings, and more importanly, new maps.
The world is no longer changing, the world HAS changed.
Where there were once mountains, flatland is roaming, where there once were glaciers are now jungles filled with elven scum.

Ages have passed since the events that occured at the black lake, but never shall I be granted the mercy of forgettfullness. Haunted by the song of the undead, I purchased one of the new maps, and it is hard to overstate my astonishment. The whole lake has dried down, nothing is left of the huge masses of liquid obsidian.
The new information has risen my sence for adventure.
I always wanted to complete my research about the undead, and I won't let this opportunity pass.
I shall gaver a small group of adventurers and board the next caravan, once we pass the desert we shall simply split from the group and strike the earth.

I still have a bet to win...

sadly only a minimum amount of supplies, lets say, 30 points not counting skills , as treeless haunted maps need to be planned carefully

instead, ask for achritecture you want

one can never need enough masons, especially when you need to build walls and bridges as early as possible to keep away...well I am guessing on skeletal camels

Well I would like to make a few changes to mine after noticing that you are keeping your old dwarf, who has appraiser.

Name: Kira
Profession: Miner/Bowyer
15 turtles


And why do you WANT undead giant scorpions?

The bowyer part is in case I get a strange mood. Nothing beats masterwork crossbows. Other then ballistas.

sadly I embarked already and am writing the rest of the backstory right now

don't worry, sooner or later it will come handy to have 1 dwarf who is trader and another who is bookkeeper/organizer

also, you can always be my rival for the mayor post
