Cog’s Journal, 7th of Limestone 319We nearly lost Martini to a silly mistake this month. Martini was working on a job relating to expanding the power facility. In the process, he went down into the drainage channel and got trapped by a tree that had grown up there. He’s been down there for several days apparently and was ravenously hungry when Comp heard his call for help. He’s free now and made a mad dash to the dining hall to get some food.
Events of the 24th of Limestone 319Mebzuth Onulgigin the Legendary Armorsmith worked feverishly with an excitement he had never felt before. He carefully put the finishing loops into the armor and stood back to examine his handiwork.
His chest slowly swelled with pride as he looked upon the shining blue metal. He would be proud to see Derm wearing this. He quickly returned to work. Next he would need a helm and some plate armor. Oh, and a shield! He would need a shield as well. He quickly headed off to the furnaces to get another stack of bars. On his way by, he marked three other sets of adamantine chain mail sitting in his workshop for melting. All of them were gorgeous but none of them were true masterworks. He could do better with this material and melting down the rejects would ensure more effective use of the supply.
Cog’s Journal, 2nd of Sandstone 319Derm the Soulchopper is now equipped with masterwork adamantine chain shirt, breastplate, helm and shield. If I ever get a legendary weaponsmith I’ll try to get him to give up his current axe as well. In the meantime, it is probably time to start equipping our other legendary fighters with similar gear.
Nothing less than masterwork adamantine armor and weapons will do for our military now. All else of the precious metal will be melted down and forged again. Catten and Rifotangir as squad leaders get the next round of gear. And then the rest of Derm’s squad will be outfitted and then the rest of the military. It has to go in some order and this works well enough I think.
Cog’s Journal, 15th of Sandstone 319AHHHHHHHHHHHRG. That damn duke did it again. Just as the human caravan was leaving he issued a mandate restricting the export of short swords. Which of course we traded a nice handful of to the humans this year along with other useless copper weapons. Why does he do this? I have the list already, it’s painful but at least no one is getting beaten.
Ingiz, Leatherworker – 76 days
Indri, Weaver – 76 days
Urist Imiknorriss: 76 days
Monty, Sworddwarf – 151 days
Nish, Mechanic – 76 days
Rovod , Sworddwarf – 76 days
Scaraban, Mechanic – 76 days
What a horrible mess. And some of our finest dwarves too. I have no idea why Monty is getting 5 months. I’m at a loss for words.
OOC: Since when did he like swords? That’s a new one on me. And his timing is terrible or perfect depending on your perspective! At least the adamantine military project is beginning today.
@kisame12794: Interesting debate here! I’m not entirely sure how it translates into gameplay but having two layers of armor isn’t a bad thing. Steel plate has served well in the past, adamantine should be just as good.
@dermonster: Both it is!
@breadbocks: The control room is coming along nicely. It’s going to be delayed a bit by Scaraban being put in jail. Stupid duke.
@Triaxx2: True, good thing dwarves have leather for skin.
