12th Granite

The Elves found Newb waiting for them at the Depot surrounded by crates of Goblin clothing. She watched as they unloaded crate after crate of rope reed cloth and thread and several bins of wooden crafts and weapons.

A confused look came over Newb's face as the Head Trader turned to negotiate with her. "Is this all you brought?" Newb asked. "Yes, plenty of useful cloth and thread and properly created wooden items." The Trader replied. "We have no need for rope reed. We have a Silk Chasm right there." Newb said, waving a hand to the north. "If you want to trade with us then bring us something useful, like alcohol or food!" Newb said, voice rising as she spoke.

Turning she grabbed the nearest Dwarf. "Get these bins below. There is nothing to trade today." With that Newb strode out of the Depot.

The shadowy figure perched on the wall smiled under the shadows of its cloak as it watched the Dwarf heading across the courtyard. Reaching into the dephs of his cloak he pulled out a crossbow and took aim...

13th Granite

Fireheart looked up from his meal as Sir Nil barged into his office with Bob on his heels, carrying a large stick in his hands. "What is it Nil?" Fireheart asked, knowing it couldn't be good news. "The Elves are gone sir." Nil answered. "What did you expect? If they weren't going to get anything from us they wouldn't have a reason to stay." Fireheart said.

Before Nil could answer Bob suddenly piped up. "Pointy ears dead." "What? The merchants are dead?" Fireheart asked. "Just 2 sir. We found them in the Depot with red fletched arrows in their backs." Nil answered.

"I'm sure its to late but send out Wok and a few Warriors to check the territory. Get the other Warriors onto the wall to keep watch until they return. We're not ready for an attack at the moment." Fireheart ordered.

21st Granite

Fireheart was pleased at the quality of the new weapons Zaneg had forged. As the Warriors stood before him with their new weapons Fireheart looked closely at the pictures and decorations covering them. Most of them held pictures of his leadership and the fortresses foundation among the spikes and bands of metal.

Kadol had even added a mention of Nil's greatness onto his new hammer. The head was decorated with a copper picture of Nil pummeling a Goblin with the words 13th AA below. Upon askeing Kadol, who stood nearby what it stood for she answered that it was an event during the 13th Attempted Abduction.

Nodding he moved to Speardwarf. As his eyes traveled over the shiny iron spear his attention was drawn to one of the pictures circling the spearhead. Waving Kadol over he asked "Why exactly is there a picture of me eating cheese on this spear?" "Because its something that hasn't been engraved all over." Kadol answered with a grin. "That makes sense I guess." Fireheart conceded as he reached Wok at the end of the line.

The only strange thing about the bloodstained Warrior was the fact that he now wore 2 sword scabbards at his waist and held a sword in each hand. "Decided to decapitate twice as many Goblins Wok?" Fireheart asked, smiling as the Warrior laughed. Nodding to his Deputy to return the Warriors to work Fireheart headed up to visit the breeding center.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes Wok I gave you 2 iron swords. Felt it would be better for decapitating Goblins.

Things were rather boring this update so I spent time queneing up weapon decorating jobs. Because of this all the iron weapons are now covered in decorations of most every type of metal and are worth between 30 and 40 thousand.

Hawkfrost, as per your request I gave you the artifact Axe

Since we don't have any Bloodstone that would be kind of impossible

That was my plan. Dwarf Fortress writing isn't exactly bound by rules.

The game may only let him use 1 sword at a time but I can write it the way that works for me and my story. Which at this point is 2 swords at once.

And I'm fine with that. I just wanted to make sure you knew before I died a tragic death.

I'm not so sure that outcome is even possible. Doesn't seem like anything can stop Flamebanner's Warriors...At least not Goblins

Make goblins 20 sizes larger and triple both the upper and lower ranges of their punch attack. Cry in terror as goblin wrestlers have unwanted intercourse with your fortress.

I was curious who the Warriors were worshipping so I checked and found them spread among 4 of the gods:

Eges: God of mercy, war and fortressess
Idek Insightrhymed The Page of Wisps: Song and Poetry
Dushig: Deformity and Disease
Doren: Jewels and Wealth

Thats 4 of the 5 gods I know we worship here. Anyway on to the update.

26th Granite

As Spring flowed back into Flamebanner's territory another wedding was being held in the courtyard. The Planter Iden Nourishtower and Legolord's son and Henchman Urdim Longfenced were getting married and Sarek had taken the liberty of planning a huge party to celebrate.

11th Slate

The Jeweler Datan Paddleflanks walked into his workshop with several gems and a work order in hand. Fireheart was apparently worried about the lack of cut gems with all the decorating and moods going on.

A shiver went up Datan's spine as he set to work cutting gems. He knew from the stories the older Dwarves told that those moods could go either way. He had heard of Dwarves being killed by their friends in a fit of moodiness and used to create vile artifacts. Datan was glad that things were so good at Flamebanner that no Dwarf was unhappy, he had no wish to become a hat.

Pushing the thoughts from his mind he turned back to his work and gaped in astonishment at the gem he held in his hand. A perfectly cut clear zircon with a ting picture of 7 Dwarves digging into a mountain.

As it dawned on him that a mood had struck him the name of his artifact came to his lips: Steppemists The Purged Risk. Quickly finishing his work he grabbed the gem and headed off to show everyone.

The Purged Risk.

hey, that actually makes sense!  He was afraid of being turned into a hat, but didn't because he had a mood of his own.
