after many days of following the river, we atlast can go no farther. a steep waterfall would block our return. here we shall settle and build a fort in these sinistar lands.
We shall call this place Egomerith, "Naturelabor"
Grantite 1st:
we strike the earth.
a fairly defensible position, the cliff at our back, and the ponds blocking most of the forward area. I'll quickly set up some temporary fortifications.
granite 30th:
things.. are going somewhat well. initial unloading and deconstructing has gone fairly well. everything is stored underground. unfrotuantly, the month has not been without problems. the staircase in the cliff face has proven unsuitable. the river below is infested with skeletal alligators and hippos. nobody wanted to go near it with them staring at us. a secondary staircase has been made away from it, to relive this problem, but something will have to be done about the staircase soon.
above, the farms are being flooded by one of the nearby pools. we will seal the hole once it finishes and our food supply will be secured.
below.. we are finialy starting the main portion of the fort.
while no set plans so far, the striking of valuable gems this soon has put me in good spirits. there also seem to be some valuable rubies in the cliff to the east, though how we shall get to them might be a problem.
5th slate:
everyone but the is now indoors, due to Skelephants. once the upper area is done, I might let them out.
11th slate: the stupid miner forgot to set burrow on him. ran outside and attracted the elephants. only hope now is to kill them. the wood cutter was trained in his axe skill, but who knows how well that will do. just need to kill the one near the entrance to let the miner in, I hope.
12th slate: he went to sleep AAHHRRRGHH miners dead. canceling attack on skelephants. *sigh* designating somebody else as the miner.
14th slate: farmer started planting. soon be making booze. remaining wood stock going to create stuff to hold the booze.
26th slate: the miner shall soon be entombed. really should learn everyones names.. let's see. ah, his name was degal. plans are really set back though. minning is very slow with the untrained guy. need to dig out the food processing rooms, so that should give him some training.
28th felsite: the mechanic, Tosid, has come quite a ways as a miner. whale nowhere as good as the former miner Degal, he has finished the new dinning hall. the waterfall face has been smoothed and carved to boot, letting the mist enter the room, while keeping the frighting skeleton at bay.
the Next goal is a simple individual quarters off the dinning hall.
-------------
end spring.
yip. that was interesting. wandering creatures might be a problem. if you let anyone onto the surface, keep watch. the corrner of the map were on is quite small.
will head onto summer in the morning. for now, I sleep.
