Oh Captain my Captain!

I'll take a Dwarf, just name him Cthulhu.

[Enzo]

Can I claim a cook or brewer dwarf? I realize you have a lot of requests, just thought I'd throw that out there.

[Itnetlolor]

Ooh, ooh, ooh! I want in!

I claim Mason/Engraver/Wrestler.

[ToonyMan]

Name: ToonyHam
Profession: Jogger

[Hippoman]

I want in too.

I have two requests for my dwarf:

First, I want to be either a mason or an engraver.

And second, I want my dwarf to die in the most hideous and contrived way possible. Hippos are a bonus.

Oooh ya!

I want a Hammerdwarf/Mechanic. Named Lutz.
When off duty he's a Mechanic.

[JoshuaFH]

Count me in. I'm looking forward to this last look before the new version.

The horror...



The horror...




Now I am alone.



May the next damned souls who stand here know that I, Cog Estildegel, did not lay down and wait for death.  May you tame this land as we could not.  May the Gods show you mercy, for no other mercy awaits.







Here ye!  Here ye!  All Dwarves [STOUT] and true!  Take up ye axes, ye hammers, ye picks!  Yoke ye oxen and ye cats!  Tie ye beards and fix ye helms!  North we must go, past the brackish rivers and fetid hills!  The colony of Tombcities has fallen!  Surely ye honor cannot let it lie!  Mount ye wagons, and we will ride!

So here's the skinny, folks.  Somewhere between the goods, the tiny hole they carved, and the zombie tigerfish, Tombcities is a wealthy enough patch of nowhere to earn a Reclaim party of twenty eight Dwarves EDIT: Okay, turns out, every time you choose to embark on a Reclaim, it picks a different number of Dwarves.  I'll probably just do it over a again a few times until I get enough for now.  They all need names and professions, so grab'em while they're hot.  You get to pick ONE (1) military profession and ONE (1) civilian profession.  I'll honor the posts that have already been made.  And before anyone asks, you don't get to pick a gender.  They're all Dwarves after all.

Also, the group needs a NAME.  I want a good one people.  There's already an anvil waiting at the site, and the military professions include their own equipment, so I've got 2260 dwarfbucks to spend on supplies.  For 28 (quantum) beardies, most of that should be food and drink obviously, and there's not many trees at the site.  Water shouldn't be a problem - those dead hippos won't know what hit them.

[A Dwarven Smokeologist]

I'll take a macedwarf / jeweler please

Aqizzar, are there any special features on this map? Like, say, sand, magma, or other things?

There's a river, and I think sand, but otherwise probably nothing.  As you can see from the map, it is technically on mountainous terrain, but not an actual mountain tile, so I don't think there's any special features underneath.  Which is a damn shame, but hey, I've got water and stone at least.  You can have fun with those, and it'll make smelting an actual challenge.

In other news, I'm tired of wrestling with the Reclaim function.  Seven Dwarves will make the initial trip to Tombcities: WorkerDrone, Duke, Vester, Jakkarra, Leafsnail, kinseti, and Hippoman.  All "lowers" I realize, but I chose them because they already listed their professions (sort of) and I wanted a spread.  There's no miners, but we all know any numbnuts can swing a pick.  Tholizeg Vagush Rash (sorry Toony, already wrote it) for the name, just need to decide on the loadout.  Animals?  Seeds?  Meat?  Help me out.

[Akigagak]

Well, we're going to be trapped underground, sealed away, for at least a while.

So we'll need wood, lots of wood.
Boooooze.
Food, get lots of the value 2 meats, in stacks of 15-20. Mostly for the free barrels.
A couple of animals that can be thrown into a pit and left to breed as a back-up food supply.
Maybe some stone to build an outer wall with?
2-3 picks.

That's the essentials, I think.

[Leafsnail]

Hmm... I seem to remember Plump Helmets, brewed and then cooked, work very nicely as food.  I also always took one of every kind of meat to abuse the free barrels you get with them, but...

And booze.  Don't forget the booze.  Lots and lots of it.  And dogs.  I tend to keep a standing army of War Dogs in all my forts.

Also, the last dwarf I named Leafsnail did not do very well.  A Giant Cave Swallow flew down the Bottomless Pit I was using a garbage disposal chute (wholly unnecessary but totally awesome), flew down the access corridor and ripped several chunks out of poor Leafsnail, leading him to die horribly.

Something tells me history may repeat itself.

[JoshuaFH]

Altleast 50% of the points should be spent on wood. Then the rest can be placed into food/drink. I agree with akigagak, that the points should be divided between the many different foodstuffs in order to acquire as many barrels as possible. Spending some one guard dogs in order to prevent horrible death might be good as well.

I'd like my dwarf to be a smelter/blacksmith.
