It is the ninety-first year of this world...and already, it has lead itself to doom.

Many years prior, a great war occured. It engulfed every civilization known, and it even lead to an army of Kobolds rising from their caves. During one of the major battles, a foolish dwarf attempted to remove an ancient and valuable adamantine door. Contained within was a passage to the heavens, which was instantly defiled by the dwarf's greed, and pride. As punishment for defiling the home of the gods, all known metal was removed from the earth.Many dwarven smiths and furnace operators began to experiment with common stones, but with no results.

But last year, a new metal was discovered. It was lighter and tougher than steel, and extremely resistant to heat(More so than adamantine, and more common too!) So now, an expedition has been gathered. They are to build a fortress apon the largest deposit of this new ore. Trapped between a wall of mountains and a goblin fortress, here is where they stand. Here is where they strike the earth!



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Aroth' Inodonul's log, Day -1, Pre-embark.

I have been given a rare opportunity. The king has personally requested that i lead the expedition to
Uthirnil, "Searedhammers", in search of one of the largest Omnicine deposits. There are six others who haven't yet introduced themselves, but i'm sure we'll get along just fine...
The nobles have provided us with some expensive omnicine equipment, and i sold one of the axes so that we could spend the money on more useful things.
I should probably ask the others what they would like to bring along, since we have so much extra cash.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope this one goes well, spent some time modding metals and ores and such.



Mods-
1. No metal ores other than Omnistone and adamantine.
2. No metals other than Omnistone and adamantine.

Now lets claim some dwarves!
Include:
-First name you want the dwarf to have
-Which one you are claiming
-Skills
-What other objects you want to bring besides what we have.

Edit:Dwarf list

'Aroth' Overlord(10 mining, 7 Judge of Intent, 7 appraiser, 6 organizer) - Me!
'Tethys' (10 leatherworker, 10 tanner(Assigned due to nondecision on second skill)) - Haika
'Adaras' (10 mining, 8 masonry, 7 animal training) - MathijisBuster
'Ananidor' (10 brewing(you knew i would), 8 cooking, 7 farming) - Lupus
'Xanthius' (10 Axedwarf, 10 carpenter(Cause i'm going to assign more wood to come with us.) - HFS

[Haika]

Interesting...

I shall claim a dwarf Tethys, female if there is one(hard to know from just the embark list, need to see personalities to really choose)

Preference on Leatherworking.

Extra items, I'd like one cobalite or olivine block for the leatherworks(3pts). 10 tower cap logs for leather bins(30pts). and since we are so point rich at the start, 20 giant cave spider chitin to get leatherworking started(1000pts). I'd also like to vote for a breeding pair of muskox(302pts), and two cave spider ropes to tie them up with(40pts). Total point cost: 1375. bit pricey, if it's too much, half the chitin. That stuff is spensive.

also I vote we dump the monkey meat for turtles, or better yet, cave lobsters.

[Magick]

Your dwarf is ready, leatherworker/tanner.
Though i seem to have eliminated all the ores in matgloss_stone_minerals, so no colored stone either >_>

Edit:You could have omnistone blocks, which are almost sand-colored, but those are 750 a freaking block.

[MathijsBuster]

I'll claim a dwarf as well.

Name: Adaras
Preferably male

I'll do either the digging or masonry if possible.
But those picks seem expensive!

The item list seems fine to me, though I'm guessing 'regular' dogs would be cheaper than wardogs.
Wardogs shouldn't be so hard to train once we arrive in any case. I'm willing to volunteer for that job in case I have nothing too dig out for a while.

[Magick]

Adaras added to list!

[LupusNoctis]

I shall also nominate a dwarf!

Ananidor

Skills:  Brewing, Farming, Butchery, cooking & general Food production skills as needed.
Is it possible to bring along some kittens for food breeding purposes? 

[Magick]

Ananidor is on our list.

Lupus: I sorta don't want to bring more cats, to avoid possible catsplosion. We really only need one.

Mathjis: On the picks, of course they're expensive, they're made out of the last existing metal(next to adamantine) on the planet.

[HFS]

I'm in.

Name: Xanthius
Profession: 10 Axedwarf, rest can be anything of your choice.

[Magick]

Xanthius has been added to the list, welcome aboard!

Edit:Who wants to just start?

Edit2: Fine, just starting.

[Haika]

Edit2: Fine, just starting.

you can always fill in spots as they come. Looking forward to the embark and such. Don't forget personality screenshots!

[Malle]

I would take one too, but have never participatet in a Community game, its the just sit and Read type of 'Gaming' nah?

Name: Mallok
Profession: Trader and Bookkeeper or one of these would be nice! Maybe a bit Carpentery in the Beginning.

Excuse my bad language

[Magick]

Oh shit, i screwed up bad.
Apon embark, all the omnicine items turned to molten sludge. Apparently DF does not accept melting/boiling temps above 50k. So a new embark site will be found, with similar features. In a new land. Oh well. and Malle, we already have a clerk noble(See: my character)

[Malle]

Oh well. and Malle, we already have a clerk noble(See: my character)

Thought that Broker and Expedition Leader are two Different Things!

Then some kind of Blacksmithing/Melter so we can process oure precious Ores!
The Anvil can Wait its just too expensive, so let me do some Masons work at the beginning, thats okay?

[Magick]

Yeah, malle you will be in there as a smith/crafter. Omnistone crafts, anyone?

[Dermonster]

crap i missed it.



*notify*

give me whatever in the first migrant wave!

Edit! wait i read through the dwarf list, theres a spot left!

all around metal guy, minus one in metalsmithing and metalcrafting, to be put into mechanics.

edit2 and then i read the post above mine.
