I could possibly take a turn if nobody else is in line. =)

You might think that this is some sort of trap. That I’m using you as bait to lure in your friends. I’m not. I just enjoy torturing innocent, young girls.

I know it’s sick. But everyone needs a hobby.

Downloading it now, actually didint think I whould be next one to go, but heck, lets go for it!

Beware though, this is my first real try at a community fortress on the forums, so expect the unexpected.

I'll try not to be a jackass. ;D


Edit: Downloaded it, didint realize how huge the place is before! it sleazes along at 12 fps, I'll see what I can do to speed it up. Will post the first part of it this evening (scandinavian time)

1st Granite, 217.
Dear diary, as of today, I am taking over the rulings of JackBolt.
Yes, you heard me. Or whatever you books do. I, a humble peasant, have been so dutyful in my lever-pullings and chats with the other dwarves, that they decided to let me rule the place!

Okay, thats not completly true, after the dragon Osram came along on the 16th, you remember I wrote about that, Mr Ham has been reclusive, evasive and looks like he´s been thinking alot. Not that I've been stalking him or anything, or been able to since he´s been holed up all that time, but it sure seems strange.
And last night, he came into the dining hall, everyone was still celebrating the dragonslaying and I might have been a wee bit tipsy, when he bellows over the crowd: ANYONEWHOWANNABELEADERSAYWHAT!

But I'm sticking with the version where he chose me personally, if anyone asks.




My first day in charge I met with Bëmbul, the tax collector, Aban the hammerer, and Mosus, the mayor.
Apparently none of them had their proper dining rooms or anything like that!
Sure, I've heard them following Mr Ham down the corridors, endlessly blabbering about not having enough chests or they had to sleep in the mud, but I was blissfully unaware of how ANNOYING they could be!
First order of business is to get some more rooms dug out.


Some stonecrafter apparently had their own nice little dining room and office, even though they held no positions.
Oh well, mine now! I need an office to work at, after all!
Not that I needed all that, but heck, I am the manager, I know whats best here!

3rd of Granite, 217
I heard rumors of spiders near the closed of chasm. Hopefully there are still some left there, for even though spiders in themselves are pretty icky, the silk can be a valuable export. I doubt these dwarves have the skills to make anything outta the silk though, dwarven fashion is not very popular by other races. I cannot see why.

Also, I am now officially known as an Administrator. I have a plaque on my desk and all. Its plated with gold and menaces with spikes of obsidian. And all I did was to tell them to brew booze.


4th Granite, 217
Hired a couple of peasants to be miners. They are friends of mine, and will help finish the dinings rooms and offices, which I have placed on the nobles level, next to the farms. I'll let em complain if it smells.

Also, Mosus the mayor came along and told me the elves hated us for chopping down all the trees, and that we had been warned not to cut down any more of em.
Maybe we should work a bit more on our defenses, and train some further militarydwarves...
Cuz hell if some pointy eared dainty CANNIBALS are gonna babysit us like we are some kind of bearded children!
I mean, we could just expand the aboveground castle to house some siege weapons...  I'll check with the mechanics.

...Oh hi Mosus, are you still here? Sorry, I was talking to my diar.. Myself. Talking to myself. Bye!
(...That was close, diary!)


9th Granite, 217
Designated digging to the chasm. I want that silk, and I want it NOW! I have arranged for it to be near catproof, since I heard some of the catowners here mention how their cats loved to eat the little things, and how cute that was. Little furry vandals!


15th Granite, 217
Elves! This time they bring trade goods, and not complaints!
Not that I'm complaining...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Note: Mosus have been giving me weird looks since last week, and other dwarves are acting strange too. I hope it will pass.


19th Granite, 217
I dont know if Mr Ham expected it, but we found a deep pit into the bottom of the earth, or close enough in any case!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And it seems like someone has been here before...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)


23th Granite, 217
Traded some bullocks from the elves, been thinking about making clothes and dying them to give em some extra value...  At least we have some dyes now.

Note: I have yet to be able to see Mosus in the eye. I think he is avoiding me.


20th Slate, 217
One of the craftsdwarves complained of not reaching her young today, her screams could be heard far and wide. Apparently, Mosus, our mayor decided to put her to jail for not getting him giant rat leather stuff or something. I can -kinda- understand that, but...  They left her kid when they arrested her, and the baby is now crying in the corridor where she was taken. God knows if the kid will make it. But then again, its a dwarven child.


26th Slate, 217
We are no officially a duchy. Hooray, I guess. The count is now a duke. I will try and bribe the next caravan to bring good tidings to our queen about our fortress.


3rd Felsite, 217
I have made plans for a road leading to the fortress. The smooth floors laid out were all well and good, but a nice blue road is what this fortress really needs! I hear the queen is very fond of roads...
But whats more important, it brings jobs and work for our dwarves! Too many are just sitting about, listlessly pulling levers and making babies! This needs to change!


4th Felsite, 217
Our dwarves have found migrants approaching the fortress, despite the danger!
1 Animal caretaker
2 Butchers
7 Peasants
1 Clothier
2 Craftsdwarves
2 Woodworkers
1 Milker
1 Fish Cleaner
1 Weaver
1 Metalcrafter
2 Planter
1 Stoneworker

Why they are coming here, I can only hope to fathom. But we have plenty of food and booze so it should be fine.


12th Hematite, 217
HUMANS! A diplomat at least.

And whould ya look at that! They brought friends! Gobbos!
And right after em too.
Well, whould ya look at that.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Dear diary, I will not waste ink om drawing human blood in you, so you will have to imagine it.


13th Hematite, 217
The goblins are approaching. The army has been mobilised outside the gates.


16th Hematite, 217
Uh... I think I slept over the gobbos attack...  When I got out... Well, I wish I could paint ya a picture.
Apparently, two of the groups were slaughtered pretty instantly, and a third just took off at the sight. More junk in the yard, I will write down an order to melt down their equipment as soon as I can. I know you get jealous when I write in other books, dear diary, but you will have to understand that I have an important job now, and we all have to make do...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'll be back later, diary, I need to get more red ink! Love you! (There is a mark here that could have been made by something bearded that kissed the inky page.)

Nobody has died yet, and this is the current population of the fortress.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I havent really done anything of large so far, but I have some smaller projects in housing and such that I will work on. Cancelled the excavation mining and such, so that the miners can dig out nobles quarters and stuff.

Edit: Yea, and a child murdering trap perhaps... Just gotta make sure my own kid makes it...

Small update.

18th Hematite, 217
HUMANS! An entire caravan with a liason this time!
Apparently they came right behind the gobbos and bided their time. Impressed by our superior defense, they dare to come and trade.
Very well.
Mosus, who just got reelected mayor, sent word to fill the depot with trade goods before I had a chance to say anything about it. It shouldent worry me, Diary, I am still the leader of this expedition!



23rd Hematite, 217
Lav traded. The humans are pleased. Mosus said something evil about them, but I pretended not to hear it.
We got loads of cheese, seeds, bolts and booze for some of the jewelencrusted trinkets we have made. I swear, one of those crates was worth over 6000 dwarfbucks in stone crafts!




28th Hematite, 217
Dear diary, my wife has been acting strange lately... She has been off for hours on end... Its very odd, but she says its gonna be a suprise, always with that weird smile...

The mayors and tax collectors offices are done, and are being engraved as we speak. I mean write, of course, dear diary. I know full and well that you cant talk, no matter how much I whould want you to. I wonder what you whould say, what you whould whisper in my ear late at night...
(The page continues along the same path for quite some time.)


...Also, there is a goblin stuck to the roof of the outer guardhouse. He looks mighty scared up there, but dare not go down. He´s been hanging onto his crossbow for ages now.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

That might be because of the military that is still stationed there.


I have proposed a small outdoor farm to be constructed near the brook, which whould be watered by a waterpump. We whould set up some new floodgates to let water into the pumping cistern, but I have been told thats a "bloody friggin easy!" task by one of the mechanics. I sure hope little Khamero Junior does not grow up to use that kind of language!




I have some stuff coming up, but I'll be finished with my part til monday, if all goes according to plan. =)

Plans are not going accodringly, but things are moving on. Some updates left.


17th Malachite, 217
A Fisherdwarf has started talking in tounges, or so I was told. I'm not actually writing this on the 17th, I got to know about this on the 20th, but it happened the 17th. I think I'm getting left out in the decisionmaking. He then claimed a magma forge, kicking anyone in the groin who dares come close. Lav found this out the hard way when he tried to talk some sense into him.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

20th Malachite, 217
The fisherdwarf is just standing there, looking sad and speaking unutterable phrases in a mourning voice. Apparently he´s looking for alot of stuff, but cant get em.
I checked with the stocks, and apparently we have everything he wants, in several versions, but he wont do anything about it. Pity.


3rd Galena, 217
BABIES! New ones all the time! We have 46 of em now, and though they will be a useful part of the workforce one day, lets face it, they run around, scream and make the days just seem longer and longer...
Lots of playmates to little Khamero Junior though...
The fisherdwarf is still speaking in tounges. A group of military dwarves have been positioned there. I actually asked that to be done, only to find out that Mosus already had done that.
I feel like the other nobles are trying to shut me out of the decisionmaking...

OK, first off, things piled up and I forgot about this. I am terribly sorry, will upload save in next post and end it right here, I'm waaaaaaaay overdue. T_T



23rd Galena, 217
The new dam is done and flooding properly! Again, it was done ages ago, but I just found out. I congratulated the mechanics anyhow. Soon we can grow outdoor crops in a safe and sound manner! I dont know why Mosus dosent tell me stuff more often, I mean, we are such good friends... I think he resents me for having the REAL power in the fortress...
Maybe he knows of our relationship, Diary... But I have told nobody, not even my dearest wife, who seems giddy with excitement. She told me yesterday that my suprise is nearly done, so... I do hope its some more red ink, its very hard to get a hold of these days...

Also, the silk industry has taken its first stumbling steps! My plans to protect the silk spiders against the cats seems to be working! A donkey has gotten trapped between two doors, and it aint getting anywhere, which is proof enough that the system works! And if it dosent, it can be expanded! Diary, if you didint tell me these ideas, I dont know how this whould have ended!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)







3rd Limestone, 217
The posessed fisherdwarf suddenly gave a loud shriek of total, utter sadness, it pierced the very souls of the dwarves in the fortress, and they flocked to see what kind of banshee could make such a noise.

They found him by the magma forge he had claimed. A lone dwarf, with his back against the heavy anvil, tears dripping through his beard, a wailing sobbing echoing through the halls.
Nobody moved for several minutes, until the distraught dwarf got unsteadily up on his feet and walked away through the fort, his sobbing echoing as he went.

I dont expect him to recover anytime soon, Diary.



29th Limestone, 217
Traders just arrived. We had a meeting about it and decided to trade most what we wanted and give the rest as an offering to the king!

AN AMBUSH! CURSE THEM! Two groups so far, and Erush, one of our masonry legends, is right between them! Our marksdwarves are guarding the chasm from Giant cave swallowmen and the like!
And they are going for Erush!
HE IS SHOT! IN THE CHEST! IT LOOKS LIKE A PERFECT SHOT! THE BLOOD IS GUSHING OUT! DIARY, I'M GONNA BE SICK!

As the military dwarves rush on, they can only watch as Erush bleeds to death to the goblins cheer!
Their cheer ends quickly enough though, as the military dwarves flank them and tear them to pieces! My heart rejoiced by the view!
Quickly thereafter Mosus caught up to me and threw me down below again, telling me to get back to work. He has been so grumphy lately, he needs a diary like you to keep him company!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)



8th Sandstone, 217
Dear diary. It whould appear that things have taken quite a turn for the worst.
The farmers have told me that the ground outside is apparently not suitable to grow crops, even though the soil is perfectly muddy and nice. I mean, you just put the seeds in, right? How hard can it be?
But apparently, its hard enough...
Mosus came in and asked who´s idea this whole ordeal was.
Dont worry, Diary, I didint tell you what it was you!


21th Sandstone, 217
Goblins! Inside the fortress! One master thief nonetheless, which killed a kitten before... Eh... I think he just died... There was nobody near him when he died in any case... How very, very strange, Diary!



23rd Sandstone, 217
Mosus has gone all secretive on us. During one of the standard meetings, he just suddenly got all quiet, looked at us all suspiciously, and yelled "ITS A SECRET!!!" and then he stormed out.
Mosus is a very secretive dwarf indeed, Diary.
He then loudly proclaimed that -THIS- craftsdwarf workshop was indeed his and his alone, as if he was the lord and majesty the dwarf king himself!


28th Sandstone, 217
Mosus has begun his construction.

Apparently, the fisherdwarf died of starvation, and Mr Ham was mighty upset with this. He didint destory anything in his tantrum though, and he has calmed down now.


2nd Timber, 217
Mosus has created Toral An!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)


4th Timber, 217
More engravings, and further diggings going on. I'm getting terribly bored by all this... I have no authority over these dwarves! I have to do something!


17th Timber, 217
Rakust, my dear wife unveiled her present for me! Its a small apartment near the chasm! I am so moved, a room for us two, and a smaller one for Khamero Jr! Now we can live together! But she said Mosus found out and proclaimed fortress rules. Either the rooms are assigned to legendary people, rented out or left empty. But she tricked him, my darling! We can still claim the livingroom! HAH! And she even made him promise that he whould keep it secret!
Now I'm gotta flex up! I'm gonna join the military and become a legendary champion! THAT will show Mosus! I will join the Royal Guard! That will be a feather in my helmet! I left my other duties to some peasant I met in the corridor. I dont have time for those PAPERS now...! I have sparring to do!


18th Timber, 217
It hurts so bad! Diary, I can only take it by thinking of you!



7th Moonstone, 217
Still a novice wrestler, but I'm getting better!



10th Moonstone, 217
As the only member, and current captain of the royal guard, I today said that we whould not stand by this any more, and we need a bigger dining room!
And diary, what'ya know, if they didint listen! Hah!
Sure, Mosus claimed that everyone said that and its time something was done with it, but I know him! This badge gives me the authority I lacked before!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)


PS: I hate Mosus, that friggin overarchiever! He -always- gets all the glory! Damnit!
