I'm also surprised that no-one has yet posted the true DF style of overcoming foxes.  It takes a party of minimum 2 people, more is better

step 1: learn archery and equip a party with bows and arrows
step 2: build a bunch of containers, the larger game world size the better
step 3: arrange the containers in such a way as to create a pen with two entrances
step 4: have one runner and either one or two container bearers holding containers standing outside the pen near the entrances
step 5: have the runner lure a fox into the pen
step 6: have the bearers block the entrances (also the exits)
step 7: fill that fox with arrows

bonus points if you can get the runner out without the fox

Hmm.  There are currently 3 orange landcarp on the patrol INSIDE the city borders of bottleneck.
I might actually have to agree with malicious and move, for the short term  the biggest problem to me is the lack of a mine.  We need to find one of those, so we can put some cold iron hurtin on those beasts. 
Im going to run north and start scouting the areas Malicious marked on his map, try to find a mine.

check the main forums, mines aren't properly implemented yet. 
There'll need to be a change to the map generator which means a map wipe before they are created properly, but before they do that they need to implement some sort of prospecting skill and tool to help players find usable locations, they also need a skill that lets people build the mine entrances to start with

[Milaha]

yep, for right now the only way to get a mine is if to get one of the two devs to place one for you. 

Related to that, as soon as you guys manage that,  I am moving out there.

Unrelated to that, The server crash did a rollback just enough that my pies were baking, and as a result, now only exist as piles of ash. 

Oh well, s'all good.

[niltrias]

I{ve seen one out there in that direction before.  Someone else must have gotten it placed, but there is one in the general area Malicus circled on his map.

[deadlycairn]

Weird. It says I can't connect to the server. Have you guys overloaded it again already?

[Cerej]

Seems like.  *Sigh* I was just getting some hides into tanning vats too.

[Malicus]

Which map are you looking at?  I placed something myself at the yellow circle on the first map.  And there were a bunch of circles on the second map.

I think we can finally get the 9800 points to get to 50 in a level of combat so we can go on down there to kick foxes in the teeth.

Not quite right on that XP total, i wish it was that cheap.  Each skill costs 100 more than the one before it, such that the cost for any given rank is  (rank * 100).  Just to get to rank 10 I have now invested 5400, and rank 11 will cost me 1100 more.  Your 9800 points will only get you to about halfway to rank 14.

I am ok in metal armor and sword and buckler and 5 melee skill. Foxes can do nothing at all.

Can someone explain how to get to the settlement from the ring?

I made a map a few pages back.  Go look.

I propose we create an IRC channel for us to keep in touch while we are in-game in lieu of an ingame chat system.

DOes anyone have a network in mind? We could use the Darkmyst netowrk which is set aside for role playing games and such.

[Helmaroc]

I am beginning the trek. I have 3 iron bars, most basic tools...wearing bunny slippers.

[Deon]

OK, I'm coming. I will kill all foxes around the site to help those without an armor.

[Dragooble]

how long does it take to make iron bars?

[Deon]

Agh! I've occasionally trespassed and now back to 14/14 health... It will take 2 days to recover.
