we even get to choose the color of our coffins? morbid, yet awsome. do we get to have wood or metal ones, or we limited to wooden ones?

Depends, do you want an awesome coloured metal one or a crap coloured one that burns up instantly when hit by fire? It would probably fit in more with the story to have a metal one though.

[ousire]

hmmm...well, this Nordic Gold interests me...it possible to get a picture of the color?

[ein]

I can't get a DF picture right now, but it's an alloy of 3 copper and 1 zinc, so it's like a lighter copper colour. In real life, it looks pretty similar to brass. Basically, it's kinda a dark gold/light copper colour.

[ousire]

meh, screw that. make my coffin out of the same stuff that my workshop is!

[ein]

Okay then, I guess it's time to start.

Here's the supply list:
60 turtles
5 extra barrels
3 copper picks
1 wrought iron scimitar
1 wrought iron battle axe
20 saguaro logs (the embark location is supposed to have few trees)
4 carbonized green glass bars
2 red brass bars (grabbed one for your coffin Kanute)
2 black bronze bars
1 bismuth bar (if anybody here hasn't seen bismuth in real life, google it now)

The Fellowship of Mining:
Esmmi Nimuenem, trader
Fizzelsworth III Tohwatganuh, hunter
Ein Escusedast, miner/leader
Adernoff Slinshinusbi, carpenter
Ace Kemuszin, miner/swordsman
Ousire Birodbegi, mad scientist
Inaluct Nemensipkat, miner
1 dog

We embark to Unbeholo, Smoothwall! Strike the earth!

Ein's journal, 2nd Granite 202:

Well, here we are, the site I picked out. It's not much on the surface, with only a few short hills and flat plains. There's some murky pools scattered about, and a brook. Trees are few and far between. I've picked the southern hill as the entrance to our new home. It's a nice, even face, close to the brook.

15 Slate 202:

Everything was going very nicely until a great tragedy struck. Fizzlesworth III, while out hunting, fell into a pool. She drowned before the miners could dig her a ramp out. I have now ordered seven tombs to be dug, one for each of us original seven. Unfortunately, Fizzleworth's coffin will have to wait until we get an anvil. May she travel swiftly to Atal Cilko Atal.

Esmmi's log:
17 slate 202:
I believe these are long overdue, profiles of all our humans (including the recently departed Fizzlesworth) and deities of our civilization:

i can see why we were allowed to choose coffins now, if in the first post actual story post someone dies

oh, and i like my profile  the person fits my personality pretty well! especialy if i worship the god of fate

(you should so mod the game so engineers are called mad scientists. or make my title one atleast)

The noblest of dwarves always have the swiftest of deaths.

[ein]

Kinda sucks that I can't even build the coffin yet though.

[inaluct]

Wow. That was fast. :I

Can I have a burnt sienna coffin?

Also, I agree. Bismuth is the king of metals. I always make my weapons out of bismuth bronze.

[ein]

Sorry about the lack of updates. I'm studying for finals.
Also, I'll get you some sort of material with that colour.

[ousire]

do you have some sort of theme for the fort? a certain idea for it? a megaproject? or is this just gonna be the story of some very racial confused humans?

[ein]

So far it's just confused humans, but I plan to turn it into a mechanical deathtrap. Imagine it, levers everywhere connected to bridges, spikes, magma and water holding tanks (well, I don't have magma, so none of that). Statues and gear assemblies line the halls.

[ousire]

that sounds more dwarfy then human-y, but it also sounds cool!

[ein]

Anyway, on with the updates.
----------------------------------------------
Ein's Journal: unspecified date:
Well, a lot has happened since I last updated this journal.
Some traders came, but they didn't bring wagons. Something about not being able to reach our site. Then, I realized that we didn't have a trade depot!
I immediately gave Esmmi the task of designing it, then I built it.
Of course, it turns out that the traders were just supplying us with some supplies. We didn't get much, a few bags, some booze, and a few toys (for our nonexistant children?).
We thanked them, and they went off.

Ein's Journal: date is ripped out:
Okay, I assigned Inaluct to metalsmithing duty to build Fizzleworth's coffin.
However, first he said we didn't have enough bars of black bronze, so I deconstructed Ousire's workshop for the extra bar. Then he said we didn't have any bars at all! I don't know why and it's so annoying!
I've built her a stone coffin as a temporary measure. When I get this worked out, she'll have the coffin she wanted, even if it's just honorary as a decoration in her tomb.
