So actually, there was a bit of a time skip there and a teaser. Here's the other material between then and the werebeast attack.
1st Limestone, Year 250It’s now Autumn and the caravan will be here in a few days. We also have nothing to trade, just like a normal dwarven fortress in its first year.These will be the sheriff’s quarters. The big room is a barracks for the future fortress guard, but as for a normal dwarven fortress it is a barracks or B&B for dwarves without a room. Then there’s an office, a dining room, a bathroom, and a bedroom for the sheriff. That’s right, I expect running water on the short. Just like the average migrant to a dwarven fortress.These are the expedition leader’s quarters. From top to bottom, bedroom, dining hall, and office. Sexxxy.10th Limestone 250The caravan and outpost liaison from… The Full Rooms has arrived. Oh Gneiss.11th Limestone 250WHALP14th Limestone 250 Oh CRAP it’s the full moon and I forgot to lock up. Oh well we have a horse foal.*checks notes* do milkfish even give live birth?11th Sandstone, Year 250 A new month, and the realisation I was a total dumbass to not ban hunting as hunting means dwarves are a total dumbass.23rd Sandstone, Year 250We got even more migrants. Survey later today, just as in a normal fortress.Our first batch of steel has come out in temporary furnaces on the surface. Our coal is undergoing processing into large quantities of coke. Also it's nice that we actually have a real blacksmith too.LATER THAT DAY:Normal dwarven fortresses do not have three metalsmiths. They have an armorsmith, a weapon smith, and a blacksmith. Also some funny guy who decorates shit with gold studs.All in all we have:Asmel Oarsizzled, a bowyer and woodworker.
Udil Walledlaud, a metalsmith with some military experience. She is 40 years old, and will remain a metalsmith.
Avuz Boardboat, a 14 year old metalsmith I am hiring as our weapons dude. Compare to our head of forges, who is 17. No I just checked. Wow. Whatever happened to "stay in school".
Edzul Chapelbust 66 year old fishery worker. Fine, you get to do the stonecrafting.
Vucar Graniteurge, 46 year old farmer, brewer, et cetera. Able to read and write. Good. We need a new scholar, but he’s better as a musician…
Minkot Guildbrands, a butcher, tanner, and cheese maker. Off to engraving with ye.
Old Vigorclostered, farmer and appraiser. Well Butcher and appraiser. Fine. Stone detailing in yer spare time. Maybe leatherworking if it should come around.
Vakob the thresher. Time to switch to, say, engraving.
Sakzul Channelwork, doctor. Good, we have a new one.
Ustuth Olanaran, five year old son of Asmel and edzul.
Sibrek Glazefingers, six year old ballet-obsessed son of Olin and Minkot.
Just a fucking normal dwarf fortress and we need more beds. I've ordered another silver birch cut down.9th Timber 250 FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-Which brings us around to the sneak peak I was getting at earlier. Next update will actually cover the werebeast incident.
