If I wanted a sane fortress I wouldn't of embarked here to begin with.
Journal of Enyo Day 1.A cold and barren waste. Both of which horrible creatures roam, polar bears were spotted earlier. But those will be the least of our worries. The temperature forces us to dig down as we have no idea how long we can last out here. But before even basic needs have been met, unreasonable demands have been made. Xanthius already wants a spacious personal room and Dermonster, trying to prove how sane Xanthius is, wants a personal soap monument to pierce the heavens. Juarous laughed this off while Ups tapped his foot for us to get to work. It's going to be a long month getting the basics in place.
Step1: Dig to stay warm, and dig straight to the Eastern Sandy Shore.
Step2: No one touches my pet Bull.
Steps3,4 and 5: Xanthius and I go straight to military duty, food is uncarted and the wagon is ripped apart for some extra wood. We've got enough for beds and a few buckets, but that's it.
Journal of Enyo, Day 2.I Hate Rellik!!!Rellik should be more like Hexed and Ups and work hard like they do. So Ups suggested she go make some beds. I asked Dermonster to build Xanthius and me an armor stand to spar at.
Oh, and they're probably harmless like domestic cats, but 6 saber tooth tigers have been spotted to the North-West.
Journal of Enyo, Day 3.Dermonster told me he couldn't make an armorstand out of Ice, saying something about "non economic stone only." So I checked with Ups and asked him to remove Water from the reserved list and he said he couldn't because it wasn't on the list. So I ran off to sulk behind the wagon. While I was doing this I could see the saber tooth tigers get closer, I think they can smell the livestock.
Journal of Enyo, Day10.Aww, the cute sabertooths are keeping their distance. I would of loved to have one as a pet. . . I think I'll get Rellik to make a cage trap and some mechanisms when we finally hit stone. Which Up's and Hexed have started to mine down to reach. After 4 layers of Ice they finally started reaching sporadic mudstone. The sedimentary layer will hopefully reveal some iron and coal to give Juarous a more useful place in Tongsdale.
Dermonster and Juarous having nothing better to do have begun using all the useless Ice to construct a make shift wall.
The food stocks are being moved underground into a hallway, I'd prefer they were stuck in a designated room but I can't be choosy at this point.
Journal of Enyo, Day16.3 floors down, a communal bedroom has been erected. Xanthius had a fit about this while Juarous tried to settle him down. Just a floor below, Hexed struck blood metal. We're all curious about what we can do with such an unknown alloy.
In the Ice field above within the walls a trade depo has been designated for construction. As no one wants to do any labor outside their usual task I've told Rellik to do it. That's my motto for this month: 'Tell Rellik to do it.'
Xanthius and I have done nothing as we're the Outpost guard. Everyone glared at us and told us to take care of the saber tooth tigers. I said no, they're too cute.
Journal of Enyo, Day23.The miners worry too much, they say they hear large amounts of water as they dig.
The wagon finally got dismantled, the next day no one could find Xanthius. We called and we called but no one could find him. Eventually I spotted a strange lump of snow off in the distance which was moving towards us. Assuming it a yeti, I put up my fists to lump it one if it came closer. But the strange thing waved at me. It was then I realized it was Xanthius who yelled "Who dismantled the wagon! I got lost trying to find it!" Relieved that the emergency was over, I wen't back to doing nothing.
