OOC: The center of our area is essentially a hilltop, which is where I think we'll put our fortress. There's also the source of a river, which will make for some interesting defenses.
IC:
4th Granite:
We have struck the material we desperately need finally, nearly seven stories below the earth. The logistics of building this fortress grow tougher by the moment, and hopefully there is enough stone accessible for us to complete our work.
11th Granite:
100killer9 has killed a mountain goat. I take this as a good sign of our fortunes here, and order a butchery set up along with a kitchen and still. We will make a great stand here before all the races of the world.
15th Granite:
The beginning of our temporary wooden fortifications have been lain out. We are removing as many trees from the area as possible to create the defensive wall. Meanwhile we are digging as well for granite and for temporary workshop and living quarters.
15th Slate:
A month has passed since my last entry. A great deal has happened, but most of it is boring. We have continued work on the wooden wall, and have several workshops setup. With so little labor we are unable to produce everything we need at this time, but I have managed to start production on a few beds and as soon as we have a good handful of granite, I will start Zore on stone block production.
14th Felsite:
Our fortress continues to grow. I am very impressed by 100killer9’s hunting prowess. Our butcher has been quite unable to do much but cleave apart animals and tan their hides. The good news is we have leather bags now. Half our wall is finished and our first few granite blocks have been hewn out. They are now assembled into our first staircases. We will be using these and the wooden wall as scaffolding to make our keep.
