Events of the 2nd of Sandstone, 322Kezan the Mechanic was hauling a cage out to the front gates to reload the alarm traps when suddenly a fan of bolts began flying at him. Ahead, at the gate he saw a bunch of kobolds pop out of hiding and start shooting. A Kobold ambush. He shivered for a moment before his survival instinct took over. A kobold ambush was shooting at HIM!
He began running towards the military tower, shouting for help. Then to his horror, he felt a brief burst of pain in his lower body and guts as a bolt struck true. But to his surprise, his ability to run barely faltered. The mail shirt he was wearing at Cog’s orders had just saved his life. He continued running as another bolt bounced off his mail shirt.
Then to his relief, the military ran past. Three dwarves resplendent in their armor charged pasted and tore the kobold archers to shreds.
Cog’s Journal, 5th of Sandstone, 322Today was an excellent day. I’m happy to report that every member of our melee military squads is now equipped with a masterwork adamantine breastplate, courtesy of our talented armorsmith. There’s still a lot more armor to produce and weapons are still in the works, but this is truly a fine day! Adamantine chain shirts for the archers are next.
On a separate note, the magma being pumped into the cave lake has reached its full extent. We’ll have to wait for it to cool, extend a control channel and then let another flood loose. Soon the other set of pumps will be done and we can repeat the process.
Cog’s Journal, 15th of Sandstone, 322Muffintoast our shield dwarf in training came to speak with me today. He believes that platinum shields would be more effective than adamantine for his planned style of combat. I told him I would have the armorsmiths investigate the possibility. If we can make hammers, shields should also be a possibility.
Cog’s Journal, 21st of Sandstone, 322So close, we are so close now. The number of window section left to install in the dining hall can be counted on two hands now. I’ll be able to officially announce its completion at this year’s party! And the north end of the hall is done as well, except for the waterworks. But that’s relatively lower priority anyhow.
Events of the 28th of Sandstone, 322Avuz Lisatkol, hauler/Pump Operator was working hard in the depths of cave level 3. Magma was flowing freely into the nearby lake, creating a hard surface that dwarves would eventually be able to work on. As he worked, the sound of rushing water caught his hear. He stopped and listened for a moment.
Yes, that was the sound of roaring water, coming from the cave. He stopped for a moment and run to look outside. To his surprise, he saw the very lake he was flooding with magma starting to drain away, much as other lakes had done in the past around Towersoared. He chuckled. Strangely enough, this would simplify this project immensely.
He called all stop on the pumping and went back upstairs to report the change.
OOC: That’s all for this month. One of the lakes started draining, but I’m fine with that since it actually will simplify the adamantine access project immensely.
@automaton: I’ll have to tweak the tags on Platinum a bit more, but I don’t see any reason why not.
@kisame12794: You know, I haven’t counted that in a long time. Let’s see what we’ve got . . . Ok done. Of our 168 living dwarves, 43 are claimed by other players. Two additional dwarves (Cog and Undertaker) are dwarves I named. So that’s just a bit more than 25% of the dwarves in our fortress.
