Hrm. Well, here's the metal mod, but I'm not done with the sekret project or hte throwing hamaxes.

Basically, Brittle gold is amazing at both cutting and bashing. However, if it should ever be caught in wrestling, it will shatter. It's made by weaving adamantine thread through rose gold. It's difficult to make, only about half of any attempts to make it work. But if it does work, you get twice as much usable material as normal.

Also, not sure if it can be added easily. I know you can mod the RAWs of save files, but I'm not sure if it will take. You might have to replace a metal already in the game with it. :-\

Indri's Journal, 8th of Opal:
Another web weaving beast from the beginning of time and again Derm kills it without a thought as to the possibilities! I was so distraught I guzzled some water, but it didn't help at all. Cog tells me that ThatDude should be close to being able to kill the worthless beast in the second level that's keeping me from the fine webbing there but I think I need to stress to Cog that we are losing priceless opportunities to work with silk from the Universe's start. Silk with unknown properties and feel. Silk that... wait a minute.

Dwarven Lore talks of being able to weave with adamantine. I wonder if an adamantine hooded cloak would offer protection in battle to the eyes and neck? I know that our stocks are limited but the protection to be gained may well be worth it!

I will ask Cog about that too. Perhaps, once my skill is great enough, I could be granted a small amount to work with for a test cloak.

Syntic's Journal: I've been listening to all the ideas people have for the our most prized metal, and hearing how everyone seems to have some sort of claim on it. I think I'll go talk to Cog and tell him I have an idea of my own for our most prized mineral. I'll let him believe for a bit that I'm talking about the metal, bit then reveal that I just want to see a few obsidian daggers made for our nonmilitary dwarfs that want on. As a precaution they should be made in limited numbers and each being uniquely numbered. I'm all for dwarfs being able to defend themselves, but not about dwarfs attacking other dwarfs.

Events of the 24th of Opal 320

Thatdude knew the fortifications were ready and in the right place based on the screams of terror coming from the engravers working in the new combat tower on the second cave level.  Apparently the mere sight of the salt quadruped was unnerving.  But if they could see it, then so could she. 

She looked out the fortification and cursed in frustration as it swam around the corner.  “Quickly!  I need a fortification here and here” she barked at the engravers. 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

But by the time the gap was opened, the beast had swum away.  Thatdude sighed.  It would be back.

Cog’s Journal, 26th of Opal, 320

Indri came by my office to inquire about creating some clothing out of adamantine thread.  I’m all for the idea but I did inform him that the same rules apply to him as did to the metalcrafters.  No working with adamantine until you are considered a legendary crafter.  At this point it means he’s permitted to weave the cloth, but he will have to work a bit before I’ll allow him to make a cloak. 

Events of the 1st of Obsidian 320

John Amnish was hunting a giant cave frog in the first caves.  All was fine and quiet when he heard a scuttling noise behind him.  He turned, and there before him was a giant cave spider.  He let out a shout of surprise and unleashed a single bolt from his bow at the spider.  The bolt struck true into the front right leg of the spider which reared back in pain. 

But then, in response the spider shot out thick strands of webbing, completely immobilizing him.  John collapsed to the ground, struggling to work his crossbow loose.  Then he felt the teeth of the spider biting into his head.  His body began to go limp as the venom quickly kicked in.  The spider continued tearing at him for what seemed like an eternity.  He was certain the other dwarves must have heard his shouts. 

The spider continued gnawing on him, but without any particular enthusiasm.  It was toying with him.  As the minutes ticked by, he became enraged at the spider.  It shook him around, again and again for what seemed like an eternity.  Just as his vision was fading to black, he saw Derm charging the spider and the last thing he saw was the spider being chopped apart by the Soulchopper. 



Derm looked at the corpse of John with some sadness.  He hardly knew the dwarf but he respected the bravery of John for coming down here to hunt.  But it was also terribly dangerous and there were very few things in these caves more dangerous than a giant cave spider.  He stood guard over the corpse to keep the scavengers away until a hauler arrived to take the corpse to the catacombs. 

Cog’s Journal, 2nd of Obsidian 320

I’m very sad to have to report the passing of John Amnish our hunter.  He only chose his new vocation recently and sadly it cost him his life at the claws of a Giant Cave spider.  His home in the catacombs has been selected and a memorial will be carved and installed right away.  His friends are certainly saddened by his passing.  Even Indri was shaken by his friend's abrupt passing.  In all honesty, Indri does seem a bit innocent about the danger of spiders, he's too distracted by the silks.   

Syntic’s suggestion a few weeks ago about the obsidian daggers comes back to mind after this.  I'm still chuckling about sneaky way he made the suggestion leading me to think he was suggesting adamantine, not obsidian.  We certainly can spare the obsidian, we don’t have any shortage of it to speak of now.  While it wouldn’t have saved John, the idea still has merit assuming I can convince our non military dwarves to carry the things. 

Events of the 3rd of Obsidian 320

Thatdude saw the beast come out of hiding finally and into her line of fire.  She began to unleash bolt after bolt into the beast.  But being made out of salt it seemed to be able to shrug off the bolts.  She emptied her quiver into it and then sighed.  It was obviously very strong.  She would need to get more bolts. 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Eventually she would get a shot that would hit home. 

Cog’s Journal, 8th of Obsidian 320

Apparently the beast in the second cave level is tough and elusive.  A full quiver of bolts didn’t successfully kill it.  And now it’s wandered off.  In the meantime, apparently Lars one of the members of Derm’s elite squad was captured by inspiration and ran off to find a workshop.  He apparently claimed a Leather Works and started grabbing materials.   

Cog’s Journal, 16th of Obsidian 320

Very odd.  Apparently Cado Slibtuarin a diplomat from our human trading partners arrived today.  This isn’t the time of year diplomats from that nation usually arrive.  I wonder what is going on. 

Cog’s Journal, 18th of Obsidian 320

What the heck?  A goblin diplomat now?  This one is from Ozund Zogast as well.  The same place that demon came from.



Are we not still at war with them?  Well if we aren’t, we should be.  And we’ll make sure of it.  The nobility back in mountainhome can go hang if they don't like it.  Any nation ruled by a demon is not one we should have any peace with.  There’s good reason why there are hundreds of dead goblins in front of our fortress. 

OOC: A sad month.  It’s been a while since we’ve lost a dwarf and I think this might be the first named dwarf to die.  Sadly, there was nothing I could do to save him.  I sent the entire military but he was in the middle of nowhere in the first cave level.  I suspect the arrival of the goblin diplomat is a result of some experimental changes I've made.  The tests continue but it's certainly making for interesting events! 

@longgonejohn: Sorry about the tragic passing of your dwarf.  It appears hunting is a dangerous profession in Towersoared.  I’ve sent you a PM regarding the tragic events.  As I said in the message, feel free to request a new dwarf.

@breadbocks: I’m not sure it’s doable to add a new reaction to an existing world.  I’ll have to do some research.  Wouldn’t want to mess anything up.  But I will investigate.

@Karakzon: I really wish the beasts would use their web attacks.  I haven’t seen it happen yet.

@magmaholic: Yeah, that’s pretty close.

@Indricotherium: Certainly worth investigating once you hit legendary clothier status!  Fyi, Indri was actually friends with the departed John Amnish.

@Syntic: Intriguing idea.  I’ll certainly look into it.  The hard part will be to get the dwarves to carry them.  Civilian military assignments are acting a touch odd still.

Also, GCS don't have claws, Battlecat.

Indri's Journal, 2nd of Obsidian:
I just can't believe John is gone. He was so careful. He told me he'd be careful! It's true that Giant Cave Spiders can be dangerous when they're hungry... or guarding eggs... or bored... or awake. John must have been distracted. He must have been. I don't like when spiders get killed but this time... this time I'm happy Derm chopped it up.

I think I'll ask Cog if we can setup a statue or slab or something on the spot where John was attacked. I know I'll always think of him when I pass by there.


Oh, and IC/OOC but not in the journal:
Beast webbing is broken.
