Legolord: The lever will have to wait until I can order some cinnabar from the dwarf merchants but the glass items will be easy as long as you don't mind green glass.

Wok: Easy, only right to make it out of iron taken from the Goblins in battle

[Mad Larks]

Korgan needs a glass cabinet, glass box and....hmm...Iron statue of himself, in all his dwarfness. Yeah.

[thunderclan]

I'll try and post some shots of the bedrooms with the next update.

[thunderclan]

Sorry for this poor update. The original was lost in a computer error.

Fireheart's Journal 8th Opal

I gave orders for Zaneg to begin melting down ore and Goblin junk for bars today. Legolord and Korgan came to me with requests for items in their quarters which were granted.

11th Opal

Skid had a son which she and Korgan have named Ushat Lancejewels.

8th Obsidian

Korgan's statue was unveiled today. Its a beautiful piece, capturing Korgan fighting Troglodytes while building the wall in well-crafted iron. The base has bands of Clear Zircon around it while his tools are carved from Morganite. The thing is also covered with spikes made from Cherry Opal, Resin Opal, Milk Opal and Kunzite. Not really sure why they chose that moment to preserve but Korgan seems to like it though that might be because its currently the most expensive statue in the fortress and its all his.
----------------------------------------------
I also lost the pictures I was going to put here so they will be in the next update.

[sonerohi]

jeeze guys, am I the only one without an over-inflated dwarf-ego? All I wanted for dwarfmas was an instrument, but you guys... way to take advantage of thunder's good nature.

[thunderclan]

Not like I don't have an unlimited supply of sand for green glass.

Fireheart's Journal 15th Granite

Sir Nil sighted the Elves while on patrol today and gave them an escort to the Depot where we were already waiting with our bins of goods. I recognized one of the 3 merchants from last years caravan. She introduced herself as Amu Amalaeri and told us that she had seen personally to our request for useful items.

She was true to her word. We traded the last of Newb's mugs for several dozen barrels of booze and empty barrels, cages and a number of caged animals. We got a Jaguar, Fox, Groundhog, Rhesus Macque and Muskox.

Amu seemed very pleased with the profit she had made and promised to return with more useful goods next year.

3rd Slate

We celebrated the wedding of Korgan and Newb today. Several dozen barrels of Rum and Strawberry Wine were brought up from the storerooms to celebrate.

6th Slate

Sir Nil had the honor of recieving his armor and hammer fresh off of Sarek's forge today. He immedietly set about knocking Wok, Urvad and Vabok around.

17th Slate

In light of the number of animals sitting uselessly in cages Korgan came up with the idea to dig out a breeding ground for them all. From the plans it appears to be a large section of dug out stone with several areas sectioned off for different animals. It sounds like a good plan and if it works could supply us with a steady supply of bone, leather and meat.

7th Felsite

Wok reported to Sarek today to recieve his armor and the first of several swords to come off the forges. Wok might be able to win against Nil's hammer now.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm hoping we'll have more married couples soon. We have something like 4 different sets of Lovers.

Anyway as promised I've included a few shots of the fortress of Flamebanner.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The entrance of Flamebanner. To get any further you have to pass the barracks where Nil and Wok are costantly training with their former Apprentices.


The heart of Flamebanner's fire is the stockpile and workshop level. Here our craftsman create works of art for both decoration and battle.


A section of the bedrooms. The Dining Hall is just down the hall and is also the major party room of Flamebanner.

That concludes our short tour of Flamebanner. The tombs are further down but I didn't bother with them because theres nothing but coffins down there because no one has died yet. Or even been seriously injured.

[sonerohi]

Just you wait, my characters always manage to die somehow. It usually involves causing a tantrum spiral and severe amounts of blood being spilled.

[thunderclan]

Considering you're military you'll probably die in glorious battle. And I don't think a tantrum would last more then a second in this place.

Fireheart's Journal 1st Hematite

We worked out some improvements to the new breeding center. We discovered that leaving the animals lose and the doors sealed made it impossible to enter the pens. We opened the doors and rushed in to attach ropes to the walls then attaching the animals to them. They can still breed but can't escape. We also spent several hours trying to track down the groundhog which we returned to its pen.

We also added pens for the dogs and stray cats.

11th Hematite

Idil Dunemasseg returned with the Human merchants today.

The Humans seemed ecstatic once the trading was finished. We managed to trade a bunch of useless blood smeared Goblin sized clothes for a ton of metal bars, barrels and alcohol.

I had a long discussion with Idil about next years caravan. Finally we agreed that Idil would bring us more metal, meat, alcohol and barrels while we would stock up on the Goblin junk they seem to love so much.

16th Hematite

The Human guards killed another 7 Goblin ambushers today. Wok and Sir Nil were busy partying in the Dining Hall and missed the fight.

25th Hematite

The military regained its honor after missing so many ambushes. 7 Goblins attacked from the hills above our walls. 4 Hammergobs and 2 Wrestlers led by an Elite Crossbowgob. Sir Nil led the charge with a warcry smashing a hammergob with his hammer so hard he flew several yards away from the cliff and into the courtyard where his broken form narrowly missed Plank. Nil proceeded to smash another hammergob's head in and catch another in the chest with the backswing. Meanwhile Urvad had tied a Wrestler into painful knots and tossed him off the cliff. Nil blocked a hammerblow with his shield and smashed the attacker's legs from under him. Nil finished the second wrestler with his shield while Urvad held him down. Nil was to busy to notice the Crossbowgob taking aim at his back and would likely have been seriously injured if it wasn't for Wok. He managed to slice the Goblin's crossbow arm off at the elbow and slit his throat with another slice.

The final tally was:

Wok: 1 kills
Sir Nil: 5 kills
Urvad: 1 kill
Vabok: 0 kills
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm definetly going to look into making the Goblins a bit tougher and the Humans weaker. Probably by changing size and damage block.

Anyway don't forget that journal entries from other points of view are greatly welcomed.

[sir diesalot]

Journal of Sir Nil:

Ah I love a good fight, its either the rush you get when behind that shield or the crunching noises of goblin bones followed by their screams of shock and pain. Yep all the things you get used to when you're a hardened battle veteran, unlike the rest of those pansies, last fight I did pretty much all of the work while everyone else slacked off, but I have to hand it to Wok if it wasnt for him i could be dead to a goblinpincushion maker.

Diary of Korgan Razorrivers, recently wed:

I'm...I'm not quite sure how this happened. I got wedded with Newb. Everything is fuzzy before Newb offered me that drink. Now, I'm standing here in my room, looking at a quite magnificent statue of myself, encrusted with all kinds of jewels, and I'm now a husband. To Newb.

I'm going to have to search for meaning of all this in the bottom of a very deep Dwarven Wine barrel.

[Skid]

Instead of an item request could I get a few levels of wrestling training?

[thunderclan]

Skid: Thats a simple request, especially since the storerooms are filled to bursting with food and booze anyway so you're out of work right now. Just have to keep a close eye on you so you don't try sneaking into the Elite Non-Workers.

I laughed so hard at this part
Also can Newb become a swords dwarf with a obsidian short sword?

[thunderclan]

That seems reasonable since we have obsidian and you're more or less out of work with all the Goblin junk in the storerooms.

Hoping to be able to play enough for another update in a few hours.
