Cog’s Journal, 2nd of Granite 326Well after an excellent, although slightly subdued New Year’s part, I got back to my desk and found a lineup of dwarves waiting to speak with me.
First up, we had our celebrated Legendary Armorsmith wanting a name change. Even though her work speaks for itself, she felt the need to put her personal stamp on it. She is now known as Overload.
Next up was one of our many haulers, who also happens to be a member of the largest family in the fortress. Apparently he is tired of manual labor and wants to do research. I suppose we can spare him for now. He also wants to be called Veldi now.
Last but not least for today, Clover Magic came in with a rough sketch of some plans for a tower. She rightly reasoned that if we’re called Towersoared, we should really have at least one epic tower. I have to agree, and I find the design intriguing. It’ll need some work to sort out the details but I’ll add it to the list.
Cog’s Journal, 3rd of Granite 326There has been some discussion about whether or not Derm was out during the last siege, so I requested the full battle records. Apparently the military divided into two groups to tackle the siege. One went south and one went North. All the deaths happened to the northern squads. Derm and company were taking care of a large mob of trolls, two goblin squads and a second Kobold ambush. Derm came out with about 8 kills officially to his name.
Most of the rest of the military got a kill or two in that siege as well.
Cog’s Journal, 4th of Granite 326Another visit from one of our hauling crew today. He has 10 children and is simultaneously concerned about supporting them and about protecting them and their home. He was particularly concerned about the growing size of the goblins and wants to join the military and train to operate the siege engines we’ve recently installed. He also wants to be known as Vladamir now.
He’ll start training next month, in the meantime he’s going to inspect the siege engines. I think that’s all the name changes for the moment. It’s been a busy few months.
Cog’s Journal, 12th of Granite 326Well it’s a significant milestone that I thought was worth mentioning. Vucar, mother of the largest family in our fortress gave birth to her 20th child today. He is their thirteenth son. I still can’t believe how many children this family has produced. Most of the adult children are strong contributors to the good of the fortress now by their own right.
OOC: That’s all for now!
@Overload_C14: Your dwarf is introduced above, sorry for the delay!
@Child of Armok: Yup, your survival is looking pretty certain now. As for the water and lava projects, I plan to install off switches on all of them. While they’ll be present, the intent is to leave the off most of the time for exactly that reason. I’ve already had enough of 1 fps gaming from breaching the fun.
@Triaxx2: Derm was out there, I always have to divide the squads to cover both approaches to the main gate.
@Voyd211: No tower yet, but your dwarf is above.
@Clover Magic: Interesting, I like the concept. I might have to tweak the location a bit and I really do need to get some dwarves on some of the other projects (Skylight and the like). But it’ll go on the plans list at least.
@D3m0t1v4t0r: Your dwarf is introduced above.
@Prometheusmfd: Actually you did get a bit of combat in the last siege. Your squad had a comparatively easy time of it. I was distracted by the absolute disaster of the other group. One official kill to your name and a fair number of assists.
@Pittsy: You should be able to find the relevant story entry from his escape here. I didn’t manage to find the entry that references when he got trapped. As for the Slade, I think I’m just going to leave that be since adamantine is already plenty scary and the risk of glitches is much higher.
@Blead: Derm is doing what derm does. Training like a maddwarf. I think he’s girding himself for his future journey.
@dermonster: Heh, it does make it a bit challenging. Not to worry, I’ve got plans for Derm.
@automaton: I’m not certain since I can’t access the game right now but at worst we could apprentice a new one. I’ll contact you via PM on that one later today or tomorrow morning.
