Hey! You're going to risk your life! It must be for something!
Demand the artifact bronze dagger, Tributescar, as a reward when fortress will be captured.

PS:
New inscriptions! New inscriptions!

On trunk:
∑π
HI

On pedestal front:
"~>Гμ~≡"
"  U  Y"

I think it can be only "PLUMPY". So we have 3 more letters.
And if ~ can be carved as italic N, then the door leading to the garden really has an inscription "HIPPIES". Well, there they are.

On pedestal right:
>=>
LOL

It's definitely "PLUMPY" in previous inscription.



Above.. anteater man?
⊟√□Φ∑
DEATH

Below him
Г╪ □>> (new symbol ╪? maybe $?)
U  ALL

??=Г ?Φ Г╪ (looks like so)
  OU  T U

Not really helpful.



These inscriptions are much better.

the one mentioned in the text: ("We are here.") - at the top on the right side
(i will continue use my transliteration system for now)

#□α⊟√∆ (Γ$)
GARDEN (US)

at the top on the left side
=>⊟ <πΦ≡ $∑○∆¶$
OLD CITY SHANKS

at the left side
∆√+ <πΦ≡ $∑○∆¶$
NEW CITY SHANKS

+ is definitely W! and inscription above the other door is FORWARD BARRAKS! and Ω is F!
So we lack symbols for J, Q, V, X and Z.

at bottom
-○>Φ$
 ALTS (vaults? - for V?)

<.=.$.√
C.O.S.E

and strange symbol ╪ again

current alphabet:
(third line - alternative writings, last - possible)
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
○◊<⊟√Ω#∑π ¶>μ∆=~ α$ΦГ + ≡
□              N  <
                     -

+1 to demanding the artifact dagger. Also request your pick of the masterwork loincloths, and maybe a hat.

You are now a Dabbling Reader but you still have a ways to go.

You do a quick sketch of Tributescar and demand it as a reward for your troubles.



The platinum haired elf says she has never heard of it before.



"GET THE FUCK IN THE BARREL ALREADY!", Doren says as she shoves you inside.



It smells pleasantly sweet in here.



You hear the male dwarf mumble "hrggmm grmmm fnnn." and then nothing as the barrel is sealed shut. It is a very sturdy oak barrel. Top notch dwarven craftsmanship.



You quickly become bored and decide to improve the appearance of the barrel using your sharp rock.

Succession Engraving Time

Take the above image and add your own pixel art engravings in mspaint or your prefered software. Leave the resolution at 640x360 pixels and save as a .png to imgur before linking it in a post here. The next artists will take your iteration and add their own alongside it so leave space for others. Try to keep it pg-13 and somewhat dwarf fortress themed.

FIRST CARVE.

Saved as a .PNG if that's alright, because when I tried to save it as any kind of .jpg it wigged out in paint and pixelated it terribly.

[Ultimuh]

Also saved it as a PNG.
The skull symbol I drew is a bit small though.
And the ears are a bit short as well..  Not exactly among the finest of Craig's works.

edit: My addition is depicting Craig's displeasure of being shoved into the barrel like that.



Also, I don't like the she-dwarf. The moment we met her, we knew She'd be up to no good.
We should find some time to warn that kind bear person of her.

.Png is actually better because it should prevent ugly artifacts. Nice Misty!

[Puppyguard]

Oh no, a scary spider appeared inside the barrel!

[Glass]

Um, I made an image with it (though the spider wasn't there yet)... but I don't know how to get it from my computer to the internet. Please help.

Testing, testing...

There we go. I added a crude image of Tributescar (it's hard, drawing in a barrel with MS Paint).

EDIT: Someone will need to put my and PG's pictures together.

[Dunamisdeos]

Done! All current images combined.



Also +1 to foment distrust against that mean facekicking dwarf.

[tapk]

You carve an image of your precious pet Ikea. He is sleeping, he drowned in his sleep...



I hope non-Imgur image hosts will do.

[Cathar]

Booyah ! The hero of the realm camp has arrived

[Glass]

Cathar, you are an amazing person.


EDIT: Also, anyone think that that dwarf wouldn't look out of place in Fighter's Journey?

[Ultimuh]

Indeed. Truly a masterpiece!

[Puppyguard]

Haha, nice.
