I'd like to join too.

Preference on Weapon/Armoursmith and Blacksmithing, with Wood Burner (if no lava) or Furnace Oerator (if there is). If you can, I'd like a serious personality as well. Call me Ishmetal.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.
It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

Why does everyone want to be recordkeeper / manager?
Oh well. and Malle, we already have a clerk noble(See: my character)

Anywho, on with the narration!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expedition Log, first entry

We have arrived.

After providing the other dwarves with a very inspiring speech, I set them about doing work. I helped
another, whom i shall know in time, dig the beginnings of the fortress.

Everyone seemed to be doing fine...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oh, and some big news. We have found the first deposit of Omnistone!

However, it is bisected by a river that starts quite a bit higher, so it'll probably flood.
Since we brought along plenty of common stone blocks, we began building an entrance.

I sent Xanthius to chop some wood. He rebelled, saying that his axe was for defending the fortress, not for chopping down trees! The nerve of some people! However, i noticed that he  was shirking his woodcutting duties to go after some wolves. I did remember saying something about "Ere the wolves get hungry" in my speech, but i didn't expect him to attack them!
-note- Xanthius didn't kill any wolves in his attempt, and i scolded him for it.
I then ordered him to construct the bedroom furniture, and you know what he did?

THERE ARE NO BREAKS IN SEAREDHAMMERS!
Also, it's been raining a lot recently.

We've been attempting to clear out our stockpile room recently, so that we could move everything in there. I dug a tiny hole for us to put the excess stone in.


And that's it for today! See you tomorrow for another day at Searedhammers!


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, not an eventful day at searedhammers. Mainly because i played until summer. More updates later!

Still good to see an update, and sheesh those screenshots are huge, even at the max resolution I have to scroll to see all of them to the side. Maybe some scaling is advised on that?

Otherwise looking good, will be interesting to see how it goes.

Yeah, maybe you should edit the Pictures a bit, cut the Uninteressting stuff or Resize your Window befor making Screenshots!

Its just a suggestion, though.

About that, the window doesn't resize gracefully. I need to change some stuff in the init file.

Well, you can always Try the OpenGL Version of DF, it has supports Rezise On the Fly, so you could switch fast between screenshotsize and playsize!

I'm already using 40d16. Anyway, i spoilered the screens.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anonidor has decided to take on butchering as one of his jobs, and i had Tethys make some giant cave spider chitin armor for Xanthius. Including the backpack and waterskin.

Then, our first traders came. I traded most of their goods for a few carved omnistone baubles and a statue, and then sent his Majesty a pair of matching +omnistone statue+s. Would've given more if the bastards had an anvil.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Immediately after they left, i got a disturbing message.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Damned peons, here to steal our glory. But i can't turn them away, as the king would be furious. So, they stay for now.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I soon noticed that our meat supplies were holding steady. When i asked why, it turned out that a couple of hunters had come to our fledgling fort.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And finally, this part being the best, I had my room smoothed and put the best furniture in it.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
That's no ordinary cage, it's made of omnicine.

-P.S.: I have some plans for the top of the fortress, king related.[/i]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another small day. Since this post, my room has been substantially upgraded with engravings and FOUR(4) omnistone statues.

It's because they finally put the blocks on the computers at school. You can't download DF anymore. Me a Magick both go to the same school in California. He knows my friend, but I never talk to him.
