Soap is produced in an alchemists laboratory, which in turn requires 3 glass vials, which needs glass.  In the process of disabling graphics before I continue with the story.

oh right.
...

well crap, i really need to pay attention to details next time.

sorry :-/

but, you have to admit, having an insane soap maker demanding a soap tower on a glacier WILL be quite a story/accomplishment

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.


Next update delayed due to work.

Journal of Enyo, 2nd Month Day 2.

So I asked Xanthius, "Did you see that door Rellik made?"  and he's all like, "Yeah, it ain't so great."  and I'm all like:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
But he still doesn't think the door is a big deal, it is a rather simple door.

Ups: Happy, satisfied at work.
Juarous and Rellik are her friends.

Juarous: Ecstatic, had a fine drink, talked with a friend, admired a fine bed, (another plain piece of furniture produced by Rellik.)
Enyo, Ups, Rellik and Dermonster are his friends.

Hexed: Content, satisfied at work.
Rellik is her only friend.

Rellik: Happy, talked to a friend, adopted and comforted by pet, satisfied at work, admired door.
She's friends with everyone, except Dermonster.

Dermonster: Happy, talked to a friend, satisfied at work, had a fine drink, admired a door.
Juarous is his only friend.

Xanthius and Enyo, same as previous. 
Xanthius' only friend is Rellik.  Enyo is friends with Rellik and Juarous.

Journal of Enyo, 2nd Month Day 5.
Xanthius and I have finally gotten our superior mudstone armor stand from Dermonster, which we have begun sparing around with nothing but our towercap heater shields.

I heard Hexed was eating some raw turtle while Ups digged out a communal area which we will drop ice into to create a puddle to drink from.  We've decided our living quarters will be to the South in the Ice.  If someone wants something. . . less cold, he'll have to construct it out of bricks.

Some zombie Mammoth were heard trumpet moaning from the south.




Journal of Enyo, 2nd Month Day 7.
Everyone is eating except Ups, such a diligent wor- wait.  Where are my tables!  Well whatever, we're only eating turtl- hey wait!  Clean up after yourself guy's. . . oh that's right, we haven't chosen a place to cart off our waste food to yet.

Journal of Enyo, 2nd Month Day 14.


The outside icewalls are almost complete, a cage trap to the northwest has been erected in case the Sabertooth cats return.  We all sleep peacefully under the ice in a small communal room as a restless Xanthious grumbles and curses above on the ice about his sleeping arrangements.  Hexed seemed to share the same distaste as he fell unconscious from exhaustion where he was last seen mining.  Tomorrow I will be able to eat in comfort on the new tables and my wrestling training with Xanthious will continue.

No additions have been made to the food stocks, we rest at 10 meat, 40 fish, 50 booze and 50 seeds.  We have more than enough to last until the Caravan arrives in Fall, however I still dont know -what- we're going to trade.  The motto of 'tell Rellik to do it' holds true, as I've told him to make stone crafts.






Journal of Enyo, 2nd Month Day 21.

The training gets rigorous.  Dermonster has produced one pair of turtlebone greaves.  Xanthious and I raced to grab it but he got to them first. . . first the Bull and now this.  Bunch of unfair hogwash.

Juarous and Rellik work to produce trade goods, and Hexed and Ups continue to mine out the ice.






Journal of Enyo, 3rd Month Day 3.

A bridge of ice to loop across the ocean and back to the mainland will make for an eye opening, awe inspiring and highly defensible entrance.  Rellik and Juarous taste the sea's salty spray with Godon the cow mooing into the Icy abyss with every splash.

Oh and P.S.  Is anyone going to clean this up?








Journal of Enyo, 3rd Month Day 10.
I stood on the Ice, Xanthius glared at me, as if it was my fault that he still didn't have proper sleeping arrangements.  He nearly broke my arm, so I told Ups to hatch a plan, and he did.


Dermonster came walking back from the eastern bridge construction, his mouth a river of saliva his eyes had a distant and far away look.  "There are Herring and Mackerel in that ocean!"

I thought of nothing but those fish as I sat down to dinner, however my thoughts were interrupted by Hexed snickering.
"What's so funny?"  I asked. 
"I threw some ice into a channel I dug"  He replied.
. . .
"What?"
"The Ice, it's down in the hole I dug out."
"So you dug out a hole. . . and then you filled it?  I don't get it."
At this point dermonster came storming in.
"Where the hell is the Ice I picked out this morning!"
Concerned I said "Erm, can't you just use any Ice?"
"No!  I picked this Ice specifically this morning."

Weirdos.








Journal of Enyo, 3rd Month Day 20.
This is a story of the lonely Muskox.  For the past 3 months all it wanted was a friend, it curled up next to dwarfs to keep them warm.  It brought them their shoes in the morning and it bellowed a warning whenever it saw a threat on the horizon.  But no one would love the poor lonely Muskox.

So the Ox tried a more direct approach to get noticed.

Journal of Enyo, 4th Month Day 1.
Rellik keeps complaining that someone destroyed his crafts workshop, when asked if she built it out of Ice She stared out into space for a moment and said "Ohhhh!"
