This journey out into the wilds has provided a wealth of information for my research, just as I had been hoping. Turns out, there's more Pokemon then we initially thought. At least 750 with more being discovered by the day. There can't be many more right? None the less, my research has kept me very busy.
Just as I had finished categorising some new found Pokemon, the Overseer RedMageCole came up to me. Claiming he wanted to get back to his own studies and needed to put someone in charge as the new Overseer. Obviously seeing me as the best choice. I haven't been too involved with anything outside my own research, and I'm not much of the leader type. But I guess someone has to do it. Besides, Cole had done quite a good job, and you cant keep a scholar away from their studies for too long.
I guess my research will have to wait for now, I imagine being the Overseer will keep me quite occupied.
Spring, Granite 1Immediately after setting myself up as the new Overseer, Glass and Beirus asked about wanting to own some of the newly caught Pokemon. Both wanted the Alolan Graveler, but Glass was a bit possessive. So instead, Beirus wanted a Tauros. I had to insure both of them that they would eventually get to own them, we just need to spend a bit more time learning how to keep them calm. I only know a few facts about Tauros, being rather similar to that of a Miltank besides the innate violent nature. But I haven't got to study a Graveler before, nor could I find anything that the others had discovered. Hopefully they will note down their discoveries for everyone, I for one would love to know more.
For now, I'm putting Pokemon we don't have too much experience with into cages. I know it isn't ethical, but its much safer then having a rampaging Tauros tear through the halls. I'll insure that they are well kept and fed.
Anyway, the first thing I do is look over the various paperwork. Especially that regarding our stocks.
Turns out, we're low on both food and drink. Guess I was so occupied before that I didn't really notice, but now its my responsibility. And it would help if someone actually took the time to count our stocks, instead of just estimating
or being lazy about it.
Apparently Ushrir was responsible, so when I asked him about it. He said he needed his own office to work, not some crowded library. So I suppose that should be one thing to get out of the way first.
Looking over the current floor plans. I realise that its rather compact and crowded here. Maybe I should do something about that, but right now I've planned a new hall leading out from the main stockpile, with a space where Ushrir can setup his own office. Hopefully the footsteps and chatter above him won't distract too much from his work.
Now, to deal with the looming food/drink crisis. Taking a look at the food stocks myself, it turns out that all this "other" food we have could be raw fish.
And with only one Fishery, I imagine trying to prepare all that by yourself being a slow process. So I also designate a few more spaces for new Fisheries to be made and asked someone else to help prepare.
I've also ordered more drinks to be made, people shouldn't mind eating Poliwag for a while.
This doesn't seem to hard so far.
Taking a look outside and... Wow, its been a while since I've seen out here.
All the tree's are chopped down... Surely the Elves won't be happy about that...
But I see that the Trade Depot is kept out in the open, so I'll have it moved inside and the Kennels moved toward the stairs to the Pokemon area. I guess the entrance will need to be expanded to allow for wagons. We need a bit more of a secure entrance anyway, I'm sure these wood doors aren't as strong as a bridge. At least when we get something more tougher then Rock Salt.
I can also see that strange Vikavolt that was reported. The aura surrounding it is a sure sign its a "Totem" Pokemon. They are like their normal counterparts, but much bigger and somewhat more aggressive. Hopefully it wont give us too much trouble, especially if we try to catch it. I'd love to further my research into the origins of that aura, and maybe even use it to our own advantage.
Spring, Granite 3
Our Grass types spotted a Kobold and raised the alarm. Apparently its not an ordinary thief.
He promptly runs off.
Spring, Granite 4That Totem Vikavolt flew off... Hopefully we can catch one of those Totem Pokemon in the future.
Spring, Granite 6Doing a little expanding to give jewlers quicker access to rough gems, they wont have to walk so far to retrieve them now.
Also ordered some to go out and gather plants, we could kinda use some more things to brew. Since Lord_lemonpie isn't busy, I've asked them to do it, aided by a few others. I marked a zone for it, so it should be done passively. Also made one for water, since drinks are a bit lacking at the moment. People shouldn't wonder so far when the brook is right there.
Spring, Granite 8
Ushrir can finally get to work. Some more accurate stock reports should be helpful.
Spring, Granite 11With so much room underground, I figured we could use bigger hallways so people don't get as crowded. Also designated some spaces for more workshops. Since we don't appear to have any mason's workshops. Maybe later I'll have some Clothier shops and looms put in.
Spring, Granite 14
I'm told an Elven caravan is on its way in, along with their Mamoswine. Hopefully they ain't too mad at us for the uh... Destruction. Also a Scholar also showed up right behind them.
I go out to greet them and inspect their wares.
Of course my first interest is any Pokemon they brung, and my word! a Steelix!? Gotta feel sorry for the Mamoswine that had to carry it.
They also got a Lycanroc, specifically a Midday Form. Much more easy to handle compared to their Midnight Form. There's also a cute little Pidove, I'm sure someone would love that as a companion.
Now, I'm not so good at appraisal, I mean I can easily guess how much a Pokemon could be worth. But no idea on much else. So I'll get someone else whose might be better. If there is anyone. I'll let the new Pokemon settle in, the Elves should have trained them well enough that they can roam freely.
Spring, Granite 17
Somethings up with Sibrek, hope he's okay.
Spring, Granite 22
Seems there's more arrivals.
6 Fishery workers.
2 Peasants. 1 assigned to the Legion of Druddigons, saying she's a good Macedwarf. The other assigned with wood/stone work.
3 Rangers.
1 Gem Setter.
4 Farmers.
1 Mason.
1 Craftsdwarf.
1 Wood Burner.
1 Weaponsmith.
1 Wood Worker.
1 Spinner.
1 Monferno.
1 Glameow.
1 Braixen.
1 Feraligatr.
1 Blastoise.
1 Froakie.
and 9 Children.
Don't know why so many have taken interest, surely its going to get even more crowded here. They also had a few Fire/Water types with them. Welcome additions to the fort.
Spring, Granite 25
Whilst I was greeting the new arrivals, apparently Sibrek claimed one of the new Mason workshops.
Also with all these new faces, I guessed it was time for a dormitory. So people at least don't have to sleep on the floor.
Spring, Granite 26
Having gathered everything, Sibrek is now working on something that apparently he doesn't want to show anyone yet. I Wonder what it will be.
Spring, Slate 3
Sibrek had completed his project and revealed a rather interesting weapon rack. I'm sure the military would enjoy keeping their weapons in this.
Say... We got a few new rangers, why not have some Marksdwarves too.
I asked which was the best of them and assigned them to lead the new squad. They called it the "Attics of Defending". Funny how we don't really have an attic, but it kinda fits. Joining along with them was 3 other rangers. For now they can train with the other squad.
Astesh was also elected mayor. She mentioned to me that she required an office, a decent one at that, so I suppose I'll get onto that.
Spring, Slate 5
Lucky I kept them caged up, a wild Tauros can be deadly. At least I know how to calm down a Tauros. (Funny enough it was actually my Dwarf who came along and re tamed it).
Also, yet another Scholar also came to visit, I'm always glad to have more smart minds around here.
Spring, Slate 7
Very good idea to cage them. Suppose I can try a thing or two to calm it down.
Spring, Slate 12
The Elves are about to head off, they didn't have much else of use, besides the usual wood weapons and clothing. From my talks with them, they didn't seem all to pleased with what happened to the surrounding area. I hope the trading made up for the bad impression we might have made.
Spring, Slate 20
Astesh demanded a figurine to be made, I assured her it would be done. I could even make it myself if I was good at crafting.
Spring, Slate 22Presented Astesh with her new office. She said it was quite "modest" and could be fancier. Also laid out what she wanted in it. I've ordered them to be made, along with some extras just in case.
Since she wanted a weapon rack. I decided to put Azuzedos, Sibrek's creation, in her office... And she was ecstatic! Immediately went and admired it, claiming it made her office the best any noble could have, maybe even equivalent to royalty. I'm sure that was an overstatement.
Spring, Felsite 5
I had taken some down time to try and catch some more Pokemon. There should be an easier way... Maybe I'll have to inquire Glass about his so called "Pokeball" idea. When I got back, Astesh demanded no quivers be exported. I kinda just accepted it. We didn't really have many quivers anyway, besides the ones our rangers have, and there's no plans on selling them...
Spring, Felsite 8
A quick check of our stocks showed that we had ran out of drinks again, guess I forgot to order some more to be brewed, since we where good for a while. Easily fixed tho. I'll also order some pots to be made as we have so much stone lying around.
Spring, Felsite 11
There has to be an easier way...(Pro Pokemon catching strats)
Spring, Felsite 13
Apparently we have discovered a few facts about Graveler, I'll be sure to go through the notes when I can.
Spring, Felsite 16
We may need a few more beds...
Spring, Felsite 20
Another Pika...
Erm, I mean. Mimikyu has come along. I heard what happened to Cole's last one, so I think he'll enjoy a new one.
So close...
Spring, Felsite 24Another Scholar has come to visit. The others had left, so she's the only one at the moment.
Speaking of Cole, he also made a masterpiece. Guess he needed a break from his studies again. We all gotta have a hobby right?
Phew, that wasn't so hard. Things are going all right. There's still 3 more seasons to go according to what Cole said, but I think I might be getting the hang of this.
