They called me mad.My name is Ms. Cog Shakenhatchet. Not too long ago, I submitted my grand idea to the king. My grand idea, a dwarven war machine that could cross oceans to wreak havoc on our enemies. I submitted plans for what I liked to call "Warvessels" or Alniseral in the dwarven tongue. The king laughed in my face, said it was impossible, said I was insane. "Metal plates, ballistae, 200 dwarves and the supplies needed for them? You think this will
float?!" he laughed. Needless to say, I was dragged by my beard out of the king's quarters. But, I'll show them.
I've checked the maps. Here is the perfect location for my device, my battleship! There's water, magma, stone, wood and even a bottomless chasm cleft through the mountains! Someone told me that these mountains were terrifying. I don't think they could be
that ugly.
So, I, Captain Cog, set out with six unfortunate fools dumb enough to follow me.
My followers:
Derm Bootspirits, Cannon Fodder.
This guy is paranoid. Paranoid to the extreme. He practically demanded to be with us the moment he heard about our project. Must feel safer behind the guns than in front of them, right? He says he's cursed. Considering the fact that he's burnt and scarred after a life of being a grower and chef, I'd say that he might just be as cursed as he says he is. I'll have to watch out for him.
Goden Flagjade
Ingish Routedwhip
Yanish Roofwhiskers, Wily Woodcutter.
(Proficient Wood Cutter
Wrestler
Competent Axedwarf)
This guy is a little bit scary to be around. He's scary, and prone to talking to himself. Not to mention he cradles that axe like a baby. I swear I saw him threatening a barrel for looking at him funny. I had to convince him the barrel didn't mean it. Hopefully he scares the enemy as much as he does me.
Jervous Heatwhips, Seige Mechanic
(Competent Siege Engineer
Competent Mechanic)
Jervous seems like a fairly cheerful guy. Very happy-go-lucky. I told him that we were embarking on a great journey, and he shot his hand up. I didn't even tell him any more than we'd need a siege weapons expert. I hope he doesn't blow us up or something.
Shebi Cloisterfaiths, Busty Blacksmith
(Weaponsmith, Armoursmith, Metalsmith, Novice Speardwarf)
Shebi is a rather nice lady. She's a blacksmith by trade, and she'll be seeing a lot of work. I hear she's also decent with a spear, even though we don't have one yet. I'm sure she'll be able to craft one herself. She's rather taciturn, but very sweet.

Okay, so I found a site and I was going to make a battleship. Suddenly I was hit with the urge to write, and I found that the Terrifying hills could be quite Fun! Just pick a dwarf, tell me what you want them named and how they would act, and a preferred job. Captain Cog is a mason/architect/mechanic with social skills. I still need a miner and woodcutter, if that's what you'd like.
Anywho, go ahead and pick! Make suggestions as to what I should do, etc. I haven't embarked yet, so initial supplies suggestions are open too.
If I don't get any new people within half an hour, I will embark with what I have. You can name/claim them afterwards. I need to be able to save it!
