No dwarves yet, unfortunately, but I recently realized that OH YES THERE IS SUPPOSEDLY AN UNDERGROUND POOL SOMEWHERE IN THE MOUNTAIN.

I bet my ☼Rope reed left sock☼ that it's infested with murlocs and only has one 7x7 tile of water.

Three seasons have gone by since we came to this place, and we have already made quite a bit of progress. The barracks has seven beds, which is usually enough for everyone who needs to sleep at that exact time- since we live nearly completely underground, night and day no longer have any meaning. I commissioned a tunnel into the mountain to find the underground pool and had just received word of its completion when disaster struck.

One of the immigrants, a former dyer, I had assigned to build and operate a smelter using the magma pipe. She had no problems with the first two imps that came out, pummeling them to death before they even exited the magma, but the third proved too much. She injured its right hand before it managed to pull her into the fiery pit, where she will rest eternal. Soon afterwards, I heard Dragooble's mighty battle cry echoing in from the east. I ran out just in time to see him kill a muskox, but he had not managed it in time. Right now he is resting to recover from a smattering of broken ribs and an injured spine.

This brings the finding of the underground pool into a much more urgent light. A new immigrant, named Ravus, told me that he is a semi-qualified physician and that forcing booze down Dragooble's gullet will do more harm than good, and that water is the only thing he can drink until he recovers. I told no one of this but Rosey and Aru, to speed their mining efforts and get them to find us water even sooner.

i have a perfectly reasonable question at about this time. Why the hell was i attacking a muskox? I need to know.

[Biag]

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention you were on hunting duty. There were a lot of elks and oxen and such wandering around, and I was trying to keep the dogs in case of a long siege... But you should be fine if we can find the pool, I've seen spinal injuries heal before.

[PTTG??]

This sounds like it's going lovely. I want to see a recent map on the DFMA so that I may more accurately make demands of you.

Wouldn't it technically be "Humanify" me in this case? ...or have I gotten the wrong impression that this particular community fortress is a "Human Fortress?" Then again... you're already human (I assume >.>) so even that would sound silly in this case.

Squiddy is in. Cody, you'll be a wrestler for now, as I don't have an anvil. I'll switch you over to swords as soon as I can. Do you want one, or two?

That's cool, always good to have wrestling skill.  As for the number, I'll take whatever you want.

I've only recently joined the forums, but from reading Nist Akath, and lurking around a bit, I've figured that community fortresses were just a fortress run by a single player, who adds in community requested names/characteristics for specific Dwarves.. or in this case, Humans.

[Biag]

To the best of my understanding, the samurai is correct.

Word had barely reached me of Dragooble's miraculous recovery when word reached me that he had gone out to hunt again. Unfortunately, he tried to test his luck against a sasquatch and was promptly beaten to death. He will be missed.

Progress is being made on Project UTN: Underground Tunnel Network. I'm connecting the magma smelter, which is soon to be enclosed, to an area just behind the main entrance, which also connects to what I hope will be the underground pool. Hopefully when our enemies arrive we will be able to close the trapdoor and wall ourselves off from the outside world for an indefinite period of time.

Personal note: I am so drunk, all the time, that being sober is starting to make me think strangely. This must be what the dwarves feel like.
