I WIL TAKE MASON SOAPMAKER.

SO I SHALL  MAKE AN EVERLASTING MONUMENT TO ALL THAT WE LEAVE BEHIND OUT OF SOAP.

I SHALL BUILD A MONUMENT, SO SOAPY AND TALL, SO GRAND, THAT OUR QUEEN SHALL FALL TO HER KNEES, CRYING FOR ALL SHE IS WORTH AT THE MERE SIGHT OF ITS SOAPY GLORY, AND THUS SHALL THE HEAVENS WEEP, AND IT SHALL PROVE INEFFECTUAL, FOR MY MONUMENT SHALL SURPASS ALL HEAVENLY BODIES!

I ALSO HOPE THAT THERE IS A BIT OF SAND.


Didn't you already say all that in another thread?

...soap...

A vile substance, produced by a vile profession not fit for any true dwarf. The very thought of a structure erected from such profane materials disturbs me to my very core.

It's an abomination.

...It's brilliant.

We shall build, not a monument, but a dungeon from the twisted stuff, a prison meant for those deemed not worthy to journey to the new world. there they shall stay, watching us fly off into the sky, as they languish the last few days of their pitiful lives in a hell of CLEANLINESS! Bwahahaheeheehaha, aaheeheehaha, haheehaha...

...ha...

...ahee...

...ahem. Yeah, maybe not such a good idea.

But in all seriousness, Dermonster, if you're being serious, you'll be in the first immigrant wave. The rest of you are getting put in now.

*Metal Militia: whatever needs doing? Mining and planting needs doing. In addition to engineering, you'll get those skills, as well as a pick and some seeds. Gotta make that fuel somehow!.

We did just hold a challenge to build soap towers.  It's already reached its deadline, though.

Has anyone built a soap tower in a community game?

Anyway, this will not be any ordinary soap tower, it shall also be that thing that's next to the rockets as they blast off.

What about the kobolds?  Where will they be when the world ends?


I say we take some with us, and civilize them in the way of the dwarf, so that a new utopia of the two races can be founded.  Perhaps we can take the humans with us.  They're cool enough to hang with the big kids, I guess...


Elfs and Gobbos, however, can stay behind.  Let them pray to the soap monuments for deliverance, and recieve none!

Engineer/brewer/planter sounds good.

All stuff to do with the ship/fuel.

(Much arm-twisting with Photobucket later, and we're off!)

Journal of Kandor Rawarch:

Well, that went better than expected. To be truthful, I expected it to be a great chore just to find the six I needed. Instead, I don’t think there was a hand in the hall that didn’t go up. It was a hard decision, but in the end, I found the help I needed. The expedition team is as follows:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
One thing is for sure: we are dwarves, and no self-respecting dwarf can accomplish anything without stone.  Doom will see to it that we have a steady supply of it.
(How fitting for a miner to worship gold.:))

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Haspen is our brewer and cook. He doesn’t yet have the experience to brew the kind of high-quality alcohol to fuel the ship, but he’ll fuel us just fine.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
A fellow engineer, Granif Dodman knows a bit about flight. His knowledge will be invaluable to the project. He’s also taken up mining and planting, to ‘pick up the slack’ as it were.
(He worships Id. I imagine him randomly dropping everything to go look at that shiny thing over there. :P)

Ieb Meddlesome either has a gargantuan ego or a death wish; he insists on taking only the most dangerous of tasks. Either way, another engineer will be welcome.

Spartan’s family must not have been very creative. Apparently, he is the one hundred and seventeenth male child to hold that name. Nevertheless, he’s quite skilled at swinging his axe through trees and torsos.

I was having trouble deciding among the volunteers for the final position – among them a soaper whose mental integrity I question – when the queen led me to the barracks and introduced me to a fine marksdwarf by the name of Legon. He is accompanying us to establish a garrison for the defense of the project – we won’t be taking any chances.

Our party is complete. Tomorrow, we will set out for Ucatzuglar Nitom.

Strike the earth, and claim the stars!

Bwahaha, I couldn't help but notice that I like goblins. I like them better with my pick through their face, but one can never have enough iron ore!

Awesome, I'll take an axedwarf/cook/carpenter. Name him Atticus, a former carpenter turned chef after some bad experiences with a maddwarf in a certain fortress. Due to these traumatic experiences he occasionally distractedly mumbles about longhouses and hates soap constructions with a neurotic passion.

I like the fact that my dwarf's attitude matches the redshirt life.

"This is the most ambitious, complex and dangerous construction we dwarves have ever come up with. I'm pretty sure some of us won't live to see the thing go up, one way or another. I love it."
