12th Felsite

Speardwarf rushed into the Hotel courtyard where Fireheart and Korgan were looking through a pile of diagrams and drawings. "Fireheart. There are Dwarves coming down from the hills." Speardwarf said as he came within hearing range.

"Its far to early for the merchants to return. Find Nil, tell him to take Hawkfrost and Iton and meet these Dwarves. Find out what they want then report back to me." With a quick salute Speardwarf ran back towards the gates.
**************************************************************
Kikrost stopped to peer down toward the forest below them and the walls rising above the trees. She hoped this was their destination. Her attention was diverted when Datan pointed toward the group of 3 Dwarves coming out of the trees toward them. Kikrost could see that these were trained vetrans, carrying a hammer, axe and crossbow. After a word with Datan he started down the hill toward the soldiers.
**********
Sir Nil motioned to Hawkfrost and Iton to halt as a Dwarf with the scorched clothing of a metalworker stopped and introduced herself. "I am Kikrost Shipwebs, Armorer and leader of a group of immigrants. We are looking for the fortress of Flamebanner."

"You've found it." Sir Nil said "I am Sir Nil, Deputy of Flamebanner and these are my men Hawkfrost and Iton. Follow us and we'll give you an escort to the gates as the Goblins have been coming from all directions and we wouldn't want anything to happen to you."

"We noticed the Goblins." Kikrost said as she turned back toward the hill. "They killed some of our companions when we came across the plains. We lost them in the mountains thankfully."
************************************************************
Fireheart stood at the gate with Barbarossa as Nil and Iton appeared around the wall with several unknown Dwarves behind them with traveling packs on their backs. They stopped and Nil stepped forward. "They're immigrants Fireheart. Good to see that your message got through to the Mountainhomes." Nil said. "Where's Hawkfrost?" Fireheart asked as he glanced around for the Warrior. "She's coming, She discovered that her sister Mothwing was with this group." Nil answered.

Fireheart turned toward the immigrants who were staring at the Gold gates of the Hotel with awe on their faces. "Listen up please." He said as they turned toward him. "I'm Fireheart, the Leader of Flamebanner and you are all very welcome here. As you go through the gates tell Barbarossa here your name and profession so we can get you all sorted and assigned to work."
*************************************************************
After the immigrants had all passed into the fortress Barbarossa handed his stone tablet to Fireheart and vanished after them.

12th Felsite: Night

As the new arrivals drank and got to know their new friends there was a shout from above and a moment later the doors burst open as Zaneg rushed in. Every eye was drawn to the weapon he held in his hands. A battle axe made from pure silver. "I call it Flamequills the Fears of Controlling." Zaneg said as he set it on the table.

That took a while to write, hopefully you all enjoy it.

Did I miss any Dwarf requests? The only one left on my notes is Bob the Macedwarf who is coming from the children. Also we are now at 42 Dwarves

Hawkfrost: Do you want the artifact battle axe or shall I save it for another Axedwarf?

Sure, that sounds great, I love silver.

How big are the rooms?


Great update by the way.

Oooooh, fancy rooms. The best I've ever given out is 5x5 rooms for my founders, with 3x3 studies, dining rooms, and tombs. Me likie the big study. I envision mine as full of rather complex graphs, of various creatures, with all the math and physics behind the angle and power of a slice to the neck, and the effect of it written in with it. "If you apply bla bla bla units of force straight to the jugular at a 73 degree angle you will both cut the head off and send it flying exactly 17.9786 feet away".

I think that all the tombs are 7x5 to. The huge rooms definetly keep the population happy.

You're in luck Hawkfrost. We have LOADS of Silver. I'll check the caravans to see if I can get anything I don't have currently.

Why not use Nickel? or another of the blue-green metal construction materials.

edit: actually, nickel may be grey in construction, the wiki is a little vague. Lay Pewter is a dark blue green though. I know from my community fort.

Trust your calculator. It's something to count on.
Pencils could be made with erasers at both ends, but what would be the point?

I'll check the merchants. The Humans or Dwarves are bound to have some. Any other colors you need?

I thought nickel was light grey/white.

Give me just a second.  I've got the game open right now.

Edit:  Okay.  Tin is a blue-green color; darker than microcline or adamantine though.  It's ore is garnerite, which is bright green.

And this is how tinned food was invented.
Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.

hmm... new amenity! showers! make a 9x9 box out of silver, with a floodgate as the center roof tile. keep the center hollow, and have a glass door leading to the outside. set up an ingenious system that only allows 4/7 units of water to fall upon the waiting dwarf through the floodgate. (this could be used to remove vomit/blood/mud stains)

As an added bonus, have a room with a magmafall in the center that dwarves walk through to get out of the shower complex. this would be used to remove the 'water covering' that is left from the shower.

Didn't Migrursut do something like that?
And it ended up flooding like half the fort?


And tin sounds great, I guess I will use that.

I remember Migrursut using that. And after seeing what that one did I'm not going to try and copy it until I'm better with water/magma work. Though that could be an interesting idea...  ;D

Also its good to hear that you solved your mural problem since our Human Liason has yet to arrive

The only issue is that 5x5 is rather limiting, but I have a rough idea of one.
How does this sound, a mountain of gabbro, topped with silver for snow, with a tin background?
