I'm going as fast as FPS and real life allows. No side fortresses except for one which I've only generated, no side gaming, nothing of the sort. Just DF. And I've been playing more than you might think, I've just forgotten to update.
Also, I saw One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest yesterday. The stage adaption, translated into Icelandic. Despite the translation and rather substandard facilities, it was an amazing performance and I do not regret the one and a half or somesuch hours I spent watching it.
Anyway, on with the updates! Did you know that Kolsvartur's squad is called "The Senses of Dye"? And he's a dyer!
--1st Limestone, 1056
-Well, my tenure as leader is already halfway over! As I've said before, days plural fly past faster than an elite bowgoblin fires arrows!
--5th Limestone, 1056
-I've got an idea. It's a brutal idea. It's a great idea. It's a gladiatorial pit. I have only the faintest idea of how they work, but I've ordered them made anyway.
--13th Limestone, 1056
-Finally some actual action. A goblin snatcher! Admittedly, as soon as he was spotted, he fled, without acquiring his quarry.
--14th Limestone, 1056
-Dodók Biteorbs, a metalsmith from a long line of metalsmiths, has begun acting strangely. His behavior reminds me of the child Nish's. That is, he's acting completely different. I wonder if he'll make another cheerful pine flute?
By the way, I heard someone play it. It transformed the well-known song "Gold" into something that can only be described as... Post-carp.
Anyway, he's claimed a magma forge, so he'll probably not make a pine flute. Maybe a copper flute, because that's the first item he claimed. A copper bar, that is, not a copper flute.
Also, another goblin snatcher was discovered. Discovered by Sarcesh Fountainwhite, who was certainly not going to let a goblin have her baby. The carnage was joined by Gearcounseled, one of our war dogs. Unfortunately, there was nevertheless a distinct lack of limbs flying around.
--15th Limestone, 1056
-Yet another goblin snatcher. Found him right next to a large amount of war dogs.
Also, our friend Dodók Biteorbs has acquisitioned both bronze and black bronze bars, plus some turtle bones.
--16th Limestone, 1056
-Some rough yellow spessartines. Whoever thought of storing some uncut gems surely was wise!
--17th Limestone, 1056
-My, I've been making a lot of entries lately. Anyway, the caravan from the mountainhomes has arrived, bringing some lovely lovely goods. I hope it's galena or billon, but I wasn't the leader back then, so I wouldn't know. They're probably bringing wood though.
Anyway, we also had a goblin ambush uncovered by our war dogs. One swordsgoblin leading a group of lashers. How pathetic. Oh well. Time to see what those levers do! Bwee!
All our soldiers have been told to defend the fortress, except for the rookies. We shall see how it'll go.
What's worse though, is that I am currently writing this as I run back to the safety of the fortress.
Finally, our most recent reports place Dodók at:
1 x Copper bars
1 x Bronze bars
1 x Black Bronze bars
1 x Turtle bones
1 x Rough yellow spessartines
1 x Obsidian
1 x Cave Spider Silk cloth
And he's still not satisfied!
Oh, and apparently, one of the levers operates the drawbridge in our defence system. I don't know which, though, and neither do I know what the other one does.
--18th Limestone, 1056
-The goblin ambush was obviously well planned, because if they had been undetected, they could've gotten us right before the caravan came, and then gotten the caravan too. As it is, I'm not too sure of the caravans fate. Mayhap it'll survive, mayhap it won't. I do hope it will, though.
--19th Limestone, 1056
-My fears got the best of me, I'm afraid. The caravan guards massacred the goblins.
However, we cannot lower the drawbridge without squashing the caravan. Unorthodox action must be taken! Or rather, it's quite orthodox to us dwarves, but still, it felt right to call it unorthodox.
Finally, Dodók Biteorbs has started his construction. In addition to what I have listed, he has acquisitioned a turtle shell, some logs and some red flash opals. This will be one of the more valuable artifacts we will have here, I'm sure of it.
--23rd Limestone, 1056
-Erk. Another goblin ambush. This time, axegoblins led by what seems to be a wrestler. We'll see if they'll fare any better.
Oh. Apparently they all got killed, with the guards coming out of it with nary a scratch.
Later: Dodók Biteorbs has finished his construction: a copper throne! It's called Sterusbasen Bëmbulothsal, Drivespray the Mechanical Sewer. Apparently, it's got some intricate mechanisms to dispose of various bodily byproducts using only a little water. Perfect for the gladiatorial pit!
--24th Limestone, 1056
-Tonightiday is the tea-time of infinity. Total reality dysfunction apparent. Why won't you fly is it because it's not possibly no it's because it's a kite lookit it's a kite fly fly pretty kite like a plane an aeroplane wroom wroom wroom Immelman turn ratatatatatata hahaha...haha...haaaa..... BANANA!
OOC: See the thread in bug reports.
--1st Sandstone, 1056
-Strange... For some reason, we have the deconstructed remains of all the wagons and all the contents of them, but no records of any trading done at all. I ordered the tunnel-digging ceased, because the traders appear to have gone on their merry way.
What by the earth of Ironbronze just happened?
Also, our glassmaker friend Urvad Olindegël has decided to take the place of our town liaison and is constantly following our mayor around trying to get a meeting with him.
OOC: He's constantly trying to attend a meeting.
--3rd Sandstone, 1056
-Despite our mayor's excellent work, our exact knowledge of this fortress' wealth is a teensy bit vague. Rather than force her to spend more time in her office, I have decided to take the burden upon myself. I'll simply refurbish my bedroom as an office and take a commoner's bedroom for a while. Then I'll start keeping the records myself.
--6th Sandstone, 1056
-Today, Feb Alĺthrab has become a working member of the community. That is to say, has become the newest recruit of the military.
--9th Sandstone, 1056
-I've been trying to figure out the convoluted bookkeeping system here. It's quite efficient I'm sure, but only once you understand it.
Also, The Silvery Green Corridors are almost ready for weapon training in my opinion.
----------
I have been playing a little, as you can see. I'll finish it tomorrow I should think.
