SPRING
1st Graniteit's the first day of spring the beginning of a new year and a year that our glorious Fortress shall never forget. For I am Kregoth, Great and powerful Master to our humble abode.
You see every year we elect a new Member of our society from far and wide to lead our great denizens of our continent deeper in to the dark abyss below out very feet in an attempt to find more deposits of very valuable gems, ore, and stone. All while battling the very things made of legends all in an attempt to be written into history.
I have lived a very comfortable life as one of our most skilled woodcutters and now it is my turn to lead rest of our drunken brethren. Upon moving a copper axe into a stockpile A dwarf approached me and said. "Kregoth something lingers outside our great wall". As I looked over our great wall I noticed a goblin still wondering around in our trap infest caravan route. and as soon as I turned around I heard the snapping sound of a closing cage trap. "that takes care of that"
As I finished my work load I decided to look around our great fortress once more. It seems our previous leaders have done a great job this fortress is in great shape and we have a newly established working magma system deep below and plenty of stock filled rooms for booze and food. It looks to me like the majority of the hard work is done. I think the first order of business for myself is to build a far more suitable room for a new leader such as myself. I think i will also look into how our military is set up and see if there are any improvements that may need addressing. We also have a fairly decent stockpile of adamantine the very metal that makes simple holes in the ground into powerful mountainhomes.
I couldn't have picked a better time to lead then this.
(I'll post a new reply every season so keep your eye on this one for spring then when spring is over I'll make a new reply. Sorry I started so late been a busy day. I hope you guys will enjoy my narrative for this I am not that great of a story telling hell i have shitty grammar too so I hope you enjoy it.)
5th of Graniteas I began to contemplate that very thought those annoying stinky green men appeared again causing all kinds of noise for our hard workers. Luckily they where quickly dispatched by our traps and a few squad members that had arrived on the scene. Oh my! 77 dwarves and only 6 members in the militia? perhaps I will look over our civilian list and see what cannon fodder can be enlisted. "DAMN" not a single peasant with a worthy skill to wield anything other then booze. I hope our next slave shipment... er I mean migrant wave will have some decent foot soldiers to be conscripted.
I decided to see what our miners where doing and noticed them digging on the other side of the region on a small cliff to the south. "This gives me a great idea" as i thought to myself, I decided that I shall build something great there one which will be a complete secret until my rule here is over.
15th of GraniteI have fallen for someone. He has swept me off my feet although I question his love for cows. There moos are most certainly not haunting. I also fail to understand his affection for he. His name is Rat_Pack Buketuzol oh how I adore him. It is nice to have such company in these cold and dangerous winds he and my cat's are all that i need to keep me going.
((Didn't even realize my character was a women until I looked at my her profile hahaha.))
3rd of SlateIt seems the previous leaders have made my job easier. Many of the tasks that I am accustomed to checking and ordering have already been set. The still is constantly brewing drinks for our thirsty citizens. the forges down below are constantly smelting our ore's. Amazingly the stockpiles are well organized and filled with bins to reduce the clutter. Over all I am impressed!
I did notice that we have lots of our lovely blue metal sitting about without have there metal strands being extracted. I quickly spoke with the manager and had him fill an order of 30 adamantine strands to be produced, as well as 30 wafers. that way we can hopefully get our adamantine production flowing. I also decided to have some furniture encrusted with gems as well as a few crafts.
The Brook has finally thawed, and the grass has started to turn green once again. The cold affects from winter are slowly wearing off. More progress is done on my secret project. I am beginning to think I need myself a tomb just like Xenos has given himself. A thought had crossed my mind of just taking his, but I am not that cruel hearted of a women. I shall build my own down close to where his is.
1st of FelsiteGood some migrants have arrived. the total count is 21. I quickly glance over there paper works to see if any had decent skills. The only real notable ones where the High master brewer, a high master stone detailer, and high master carpenter. Blasted peasants all the rest I decided to conscript 4 of them into the militia. 10 soldiers are better then 6. I set up an appropriate schedule of training for them all. our total populace is now 98. They brought animals as well I quickly ordered them caged. Don't need them bothering my workers.
17th of FelsiteDamn Vile creatures!... Those green skinned BASTARDS have dared to show there face again... but this time they are far more serious. instead of a silly ambush or kidnapper they sent 9 crows bowers. They are attempting to siege or grand fortress.
Without time to spare I quickly restricted all civilians to the burrow inside the dinning room thats filled with levers. I only hope most of them can make it in. There are still 6 dwarves outside including a baby. I position the soldiers near the only way into the fortress encase the bridge isn't closed in time. Where is our damn mountianhome caravan? they should have arrived by now. I figured if i locked them out the caravan should arrive and slaughter them greenies.
The dwarves all made it in. I quickly pull the lever labeled for the out bridge. "What the?" it didn't work did the our previous leaders label them wrong? I checked again it the correct lever but nothing has happened to the bronze bridge. I pulled another level just above it.... nothing damnit is this some cruel joke from Xenos? My mind races on that thought.
I decide that I will have to wait and watch to see if our traps are effective enough to stop these foul goblins. "damn they are just sitting there waiting for us to come to them"
"Madam Kregoth?" A peasant said
"WHAT? What is so important that you have to interrupt me now? Can't you see we are under siege?"
"Madam I am sorry but I have news of the utmost importance"
"Spill it peasant"
"A beast by the name Rurast has shown himself and wishes for our deaths"
"Well isn't that great where is he?'
"In the caverns madam"
"Good he can stay down there for all i care"
24th of Felcite
The damned green skins are still sitting there doing nothing perhaps they know of our traps and dare not venture inside. I do not know but for now we are fine I just hope our caravan arrives soon.
Update I guess my number where wrong there are 15 of them crows bowers.
