1st of Granite Year 53
On the long journey to this wasteland of a place I did manage to befriend the few dwarves sent with me. We have all come to be friends, and to trust each other. In the meantime I have written down my thoughts of them all in this journal, if we are to perish our names and exploits will not be forgotten.
First off is BeanChubs, a nice lass and a pretty beard to boot. She wields a mighty axe and knows how to use it to. Although she constantly speaks of herself as if from anothers view, always saying her own name.
The other lass on the trip is Kalari. A dwarves dwarf, she may not look to strong using a bow rather than a hammer or an axe but she knows weapons inside and out and can craft the most menacing of them.
Steady, a good strong Hammerdwarf. He's been on an expedition into the hells with me before, and even if I question as to how he ended up in the military I'm glad to have his hammer with us. Besides... he knows how to brew booze and that is a must out here.
The next is an odd one, another Hammerdwarf named Hilbo who specializes in machinery. Machines weather glued together with all sorts of stuff or not always seem to work near him, the darn stuff confuses me but a dwarf of that talent is useful. I just wish he would stop giving me two thumbs up while saying "eaaaaaah"
The nobles lacky,Nub , this time around isn't as bad as the one that came in the Fires of Ice. He has soft hands like the scribes, but he also knows how to use a crossbow.
The 'Overlord' as he has named himself is a crazy dwarf. Teetering on Stark Raving Mad if you ask me, however a deep religious belief seems to temper his craziness and his skill with a pick is legendary.
Then so as the rest of the world may no me I have created my own profile for myself.
Mission:
Hates Nobles and most things to do with them. Has a strong sense of duty and honor and will do whatever he can to make sure those around and under him stay alive.
5th of Granite Year 35
Having arrived at our destination we quickly scoured the area for the previous fortress entrance. We found it as a set of stairs leading down into the ground. It was hard to see from the distance since nothing was sticking from the ground. Also clothes and other equipment is strewn across the area. I see some bauxite floodgates and grates here and there making me think that the previous founders had some ideas having to do with Magma.
We quickly descended into the fort wary of beasts of any kind. Not to far in we come across two snakemen... although they scared the beard off of me. They were nothing but bones. Kalari was cornered by one but she managed to beat it down with her crossbow.
She wasn't to beaten just a bruise here and there. We also came into what looks like a farming area with levers in the center. I have a feeling that they were some kind of irrigation method. I'll leave Hilbo to it later to see what they do.
