There was nearly a disaster today.  A kobold thief slipped into the inner part of the fortress today.  Litast the Mason happened to be the one who stumbled onto it.  Instead of running like normal, he decided to try out her military skills.  Suprisingly, he managed to kill it but he received a nasty cut on his arm for his trouble.  Not fatal by any stretch but it could have been worse.  At least the training is starting to pay off.  Catching and killing a kobold is harder than it sounds.  At least Micheal has something to do now! 

Yay !  ;D

Event’s 28th of Obsidian 316

Cog is once again standing on the second loop of the spiral stair in the dining hall.  The Baron is conspicuously absent from the party this year, he has been spending most of his time in his rooms admiring his stuff. 

“Congratulations to you all on a fine and productive year.  We’ve accomplished far more this year than I imagined would be possible!  While no projects were completed this year, I thought it might be valuable to talk about everything we have already accomplished here.  Let’s look over all the projects we have ongoing and planned for Towersoared. On your tables there is a list of every project, big or small that is here in Towersoared.  I’ve also included a few artist renderings of completed projects”

Cog continues his speech.  “As you can see we have a vast list of ambitious plans, not just from my imagination but from the minds of all of you here!  If I missed one of your ideas from this list, come by my office and we'll amend it asap.  I plan to keep a copy of this list posted and updated beside my office door.  While some of them have taken longer than planned, rest assured they will be done!  As always, my office door stands open if you have an idea to contribute to make this fortress greater than it already is.  I don’t plan to announce anything new this year, but rest assured when some of these projects come close to completion, I’ll have something new ready and waiting for us to create.”

“Once again, I have brought the latest architectural drawings of the fortress and our ledger.  Our wealth continues to grow by leaps and starts.  We came just a few hundred thousand shot of passing the 10 million Urist value mark this year.  Keep up the great work and enjoy the party!”


OOC: Only an hour, close enough!  There we go!  Another year done for Towersoared!  I expect the surface will begin to change dramatically in the next few years. 

@bayar: I may have to take more risks with dwarves to increase the “fun” level.  Not too much though, I don’t want this fortress to crumble yet. 

@Ahra: I mostly picked him because he had a bit of military experience.  I wasn’t too worried about the low attributes since military training improves both those attributes.  But you’re right; he’s certainly on the weak side right now!  At least sparring and training isn’t dangerous or fatal anymore.

Wow.  Just wow.  I haven't posted another in character thing because I am simply awestruck by the sheer awesome that explodes from every word written about this fortress.

I'll get to Crifmer's obsession with metal soon.  His last name is nifty.  Very appropriate.  I don't remember what his preferences are, but if he's got a favorite metal, I'd like to make the furniture out of that.  If not, silver will do.  Too bad you can't make metal beds.  Can his bed be made of white wood to match the silver furniture?

[i am glad that my prototype design was good enough to inspire a more effective version. *grin* and i've been around, just quietly watching. the plump helmet men were perfect to have kezan remark about, what with his phobia of the under-depths, the caverns.]

Kezan's Journal: 23rd of Obsidian 316

I heard that the lowest levels manage to trap the filthy beast... which was dispatched by a single bolt. Praise the gods it works. I've enjoyed it here, what with the amount of safety from below. The military runs like a well greased mechanism... alongside the cunning architecture of the whole of Towesoared.

This is Dwarf Fortress! If we can chuck magma at innocent wildlife, we can do ANYTHING!

It was at this point that I realised that dwarves are actually the essence of chaos. What else can make perpetual motion machines, recursive statues with more building materials than the average tower and has such a short attention span that a damn fine chair can off-set the death of their entire family.

Oooh. Doors. Fancy.

For some reason my forts are oddly doorless. Probably because I tend not to get too far before something causes abandonment issues. Like accidentally hitting the Aquifer from below. Or breaching a cavern and then immediately finding a forgotten beast. Or running straight into ice.

@kisame12794: See, there you go.  I already missed a request.  The pump gym is under construction, I just forgot to add it to the list above.  Added to the list for the next time it gets posted.  The temporary gym will be up and running shortly, the larger and permanent gym will be in the military tower.

How tall are we planning the military tower? And is it going to be set up as a combat depot as well as a training facility? If so, we can simply double wall it and have only the outer walls fortified.

How many notable kills does Derm have, no names just the number. Also I am almost done, just need to add notches and color him. I hope Derm Is satisfied.

OOC: There won't be an update until tomorrow, I've been unavoidably distracted.  Just fired up the game for the first time since Friday.

@Triaxx2: It's going to be pretty tall.  I haven't entirely decided how tall yet though.  Although the place is called Towersoared.  There should be plenty of room in it.

@mcclay: I sent you a private message regarding your options, there are a couple challenges due to the current size of the military. 

@kisame1274: Derm has 139 notable kills and 103 non notable kills as of the 1st of Granite, 317.  Looking forward to seeing it!

I'll have replies for everyone else when I post the full update.  Later!

That axe is not nearly... 'axey' enough.

It's still pretty amazing that I have two pieces of fanart and a short appearance in a school paper.
