Are they....weeing against the wall?!

"Oh man, I so need to go guys..."

"Oh come on then, just go over by that wall, I'm sure no one will see you."

"Ahhhh that's better... Wait a minute, why the hell is there a kitten chained outside of this entrance..."

Goblins show extreme stupidity...

Still, the piss against the wall will show some better colour compared to the vomit, blood and mud around this place.

In another intreaging devolopment, where the hell do the dwarves relieve themselves...?

Excerpts from the journal of Ustuth Elbellogem, King Consort:

16th Moonstone, 1064:

I do believe that I have discovered a new sport.  Goblin punting!  Our current champion is one of the dwarves in the army - what was his name?  Her name?  Nevermind.  The important point is that he punted a goblin from the top of the bridge clear over the outer wall.  My sweet tootsie would have loved this sport, that's for sure.

[Keldor]

Excerpts from the journal of Endek Monangbesmar:

19th Moonstone, 1064:

Oops.  I think I just built a wall from the wrong side again.  Yep, there's no way out.  At least I'm not alone - ňnul the bone carver also built a wall from the wrong side.  He's been here even longer than I have!  I hope the miners get here soon.  Maybe they haven't noticed we're missing?

[Keldor]

21st Moonstone, 1064:

Hooray!  Kivish the miner heard our calls for help and dug us out!  You know, they really should mark which side of the wall is which to avoid confusion.

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

I just added maggarg to the list again.  Now, just don't go all Halltraded on us.  XD

Don't rub it in :<.
This place is far to big to do that.
What could possiblt go wrong.

Excerpts from the journal of Ustuth Elbellogem, King Consort:

15th Opal, 1064:

One of our masons went and created an artifact throne!  She was supposed to be working on my abbey!  If only my sweet tootsie were here she'd have her added to her fish tank!  Alas, we left it behind when we moved to our new home here, and besides, their expressions as they sank to the bottom, chained to a golden ball, were of the most unsettling kind.  I suppose it wasn't so bad after the fish nibbled out their eyeballs, but still - if only my sweet tootsie were here to take care of matters like this!



Still, I suppose it is a very nice gneiss throne.  I think I'll have it installed in my bedroom.

[Keldor]

Excerpts from the journal of Endok Monangbesmar:

11th Obsidian, 1046:

There are two buckets sitting all alone by themselves in the middle of the food stockpile.  How strange.



((Further investigation reveals a wounded soldier in bed Precisely one Z level down and one square north of the buckets.  Oh, and more buckets and a barrel in the room with him.))

[Keldor]

23rd Obsidian, 1064:

Valter tells me we've struck horn silver in the upper mines!

[Keldor]

1st Granite, 1065:

Later today, hopefully, we will celebrate as the final stone for the foundations of the great abbey is laid.  After that - oh.  Dresdor just told me that my term of leadership just ended.  Oh well.

Notes for future overseers:

Two tiles!  That's all that were left for the foundation when the clock ran out!

About the plans for the Abbey:

As you can see, there are two rows of pillar foundations for the walls.  The outer row is for the flying buttresses, of course!  The line of paved stone is the base of the curtain wall, which also contains the stained gem windows.  At the right end is the location of the doorway.  The pit in the middle is the pit of sacred self sacrifice.  Devout dwarves would ascend the winding stair, and hurl themselves forth into oblivion from up high in the rafters.  Hitting the pit, and thus falling into the koi pond beneath, is a sign of great faith in the suicide god.  Missing the pit and being splattered across the floor only scores one a few points with Rakust, depending on how far from the pit the faithful landed.  Each body part is counted separately.  The floor should probably be decorated with mosaics - I'm thinking a bulls eye for the sacred pit XD

Anyway, I now pass on the leadership to Jools, who must deal with his own large gem mandate this time.  >:-D

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

I'm looking forward to seeing this abbey.
I'll have to build something equally big when it's my go.

[Kazindir]

Ooh, those foundations look nice.

Gragghshshasdjkl.

Just found out that some bright spark has gone and tunneled the river right into the pumps at the bottom of the moat. They had better put some floodgates in the outer moat before they flooded it, else when I find them they're going to get to go swimming to install them, carp or no carp.

K.

[Keldor]

Um, yeah, that's so that they can pump the inner moat out and the water will have some place to go without making a big mess.  I didn't think they did any good just pumping into a small chamber that would rapidly fill up...

[Jools]

<Briefly pops online>

Don't have the chance to be online much at the moment - but excellent reporting, Abbeyverse seems... more like it should be than usual. Can't promise I'll finish the Abbey, but if I work out what the plans are I might make a start on it when not building more water pumping systems.

Now begins the (third? I've forgotten) reign of Jools, Duke Consort to a murdered Duchess, creator of a malodorous tower, and I shall have my large gems - in this life or the next.

;-P

Grabbing save now, I'll try and have a decent bit of my year done by the end of the week.

<edit>

Bah, got something else downloading via a download manager and the grippy f*cker seems to be stomping on any other process it thinks is downloading, just to keep its priority. I'll grab it tomorrow morning.

[Keldor]

The duchess wasn't murdered - she managed to drown herself - along with the hydra it seems - during Kazindir's moat refurbishment project.

The duchess wasn't murdered - she managed to drown herself - along with the hydra it seems - during Kazindir's moat refurbishment project.

Confirmed. Numerous witnesses were present to witness her and her babies being fished out before she threw herself back in.

There are no witnesses to the mysterious hydra death though, it was found dead in the moat next to a couple of barrels.
*puts on sunglasses*
Seems it drowned in it's sorrows.


YEEEAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!
