Ruins of Nosimoltar, "Kindgilt"

In 78, The Slippery Lances founded Kindgilt.

In the early spring of 171, the Forgotten Beast Rhab Jackalseduce the Evil of Terrors routed the Cremated Girder of the Slippery Lances and destroyed Kindgilt.

--------------

For nearly a century, Kindgilt served as the northernmost outpost of the Slippery Lances empire, a bulwark guarding the entrance to The Whimsical Road -- the only passable road from the Fresh Lakes southward into the heart of the mountain kingdom.  Ruined in a terrible catastrophe, the site has sat dormant for 30 years.  But now, a group of orcish explorers sets out to stake a claim.  Ostensibly, they seek only to build a simple tavern to supply weary travelers along the road; but in truth they surely seek to plunder the riches of the dwarven undercity.  And perhaps -- to explore rumors, whispering of a point of access to the secret dwarven Deep Roads....


Huh.  No trees.

The Autumnal Dungeons, a quiet tavern.  A handful of orc homesteaders tend to their aurochs, and offer food and a warm bed to the occasional traveler at their crossroads inn.

The ruins of Old Nosimoltar buried underneath are still nearly deserted, although scouts have searched (so far in vain) for any sign of the great Catastrophe Beast that ended the fortress.  Looters have been dispatched to seek out crafts and useful anvils from the ruins.

Peons quarrying stone for new contruction unearthed a passage into an ancient roadway, deep underground, and dared to leave a small access open.  Perhaps the deepway portal will compel some adventurous travelers to pass through the lands, and spend a visit at the Autumnal Dungeons?

An ancient passageway continues far into the darkness, deep below Old Nosimoltar, until it opens surprisingly into a workspace illuminated with a blood-red glow.

Magma smelters!  The orcs have refitted some of the workstations to forges, using anvils and iron bars looted from the upper ruins.

Turn complete!  Save is here:

I'm playing now!

[smakemupagus]

Great!  Good luck.

[Gwolfski]

Latest 42.06 masterwork, yes? Before I do too much

[smakemupagus]

The fort was started in MW 1.04 and definitely works if you load it in 1.05 (the latest 42.06 version).  I don't know if there's something that could go wrong if we run the save in 1.06 (the 43.03 version). 

[Gwolfski]

Ill keep in it 42

Well played.  Hopefully, Orcs with magma stay far away from pitiful Nosimdok.  I never considered reclaiming sites before this thread.  Maybe there will be other players investigating the ... what?  Dozen?  in this world. 

[smakemupagus]

It was a nice surprise to me too.  This magma vent is not too far below the surface, actually. 

You're not in too much danger (yet), It's not like they've crafted a great armory.  Just smelted a bit of galena

[Gwolfski]

I'm playing the succubi. How does the magma well work?

[Gwolfski]

Nearly done. Save up tommorow. Succuni are nice

[smakemupagus]

Nice, I don't know much about succubi forts, looking forward to seeing how it goes.

[Gwolfski]

How do you satisfy lust as an adventurer?

[smakemupagus]

Ah, succubus problems.  I don't know but wouldn't be surprised if it's not possible.

[Gwolfski]

Ah well....

i played a bit in fortress mode, but got bored, so made an adventurer... And I'm crossing the world to the fort i built.
