Yeah...the only problem I had was the fort above ground, Im also planning on using the river to mill the plants we are getting from the farm, Maybe setting up a few archer towers too...but still, I think the Titan coming early will make us train harder, or try to drop crap on it...Either way fun stuff will happen.

[krisslanza]

Indeed fun stuff is the goal. I hadn't considered using the brook for power, I haven't actually tried messing with that stuff much actually. I probably should.

[hermano]

I just saw that there is no overseer list. I won't have the time to play a turn, so I hope you didn't count on me. I'm just taking part with the named dwarf.
Nice to see him mentioned  . Give him a cow as a pet already, he needs the haunting moos to cheer him up again after the shouting...

Also, is there some tin around? I know armor is important and all, but what this fortress really needs are some fine pewter toy axes. Would really cheer up the place...

I sort of made one, but it was more just I listed who asked to be Dorf'd, assuming they'd wanna play. I'll make a separate list for Overseers now though.

[EvilTwin]

krisslanza, you forgot to list me... Have signed up a while ago, should be number 6 on the list I think...

Joining!

[Flyingdwarf]

Ill try to find Tin, but I dont know if there is any on the levels we have mines on, I may have to...DIG DEEP...

Btw yes I'm going to start posting more when I get enough material.

My mistake, I thought I looked everywhere. Clearly the Elves must've hidden your message.

6th Hematite

Having looked over the holdings of the fort, I noticed we have created much wealth, this may entice marauding Titans to come and try to take it, we may need to stay aware, and start training more, otherwise I fear for the safety of this place....In other news I have also started work on my master piece, a water mill to grind the plants up into bags, but first we need a clothier to MAKE bags....woe is a keeper of dwarves...


16th Hematite

It has been ten days since I last wrote a Captains log, and I am suffering for it, for I have forgotten why I was elected to BE the leader, I know im good looking, and strong, but I have no experience with weapons, I fear if a revolt came along I would not be able to survive it, so I have ordered a panic room in the very bowels of the fort, and I plan on making weapons for the militia as well, I just hope it will be good enough....


26th Hematite

I have now a respectable amount of weapons, not as much as I ordered, but Melbil tells me he didnt have enough Iron ingots to make them all...It is fine, since we are getting more everyday...and my panic room is going fine, I just need to stock it up with food, booze and some other things that might be needed...

4th Malachite

Cog Tobululab, a bowyer in my service, barged in on me as I was eating a slice of horse meat, and demanded that I build a workshop for him, she looked like he was crazed, about to tear me limb from limb if I didn't do it, but luckily for me, she stormed out, to look for things for which I have no idea how he would use them...Though that was some good horse meat...

7th Malachite

I had finally got around to doing as Cog wanted, and ordered a Bowyer's workshop to be built, Lebowski was kind enough to build it for her...even if he didn't know her...

8th Malachite

I have been told we have struck silver...though the bad news is it is in the panic room, I think I can dig around the walls to get to it though...

9th Malachite

Things have turned interesting since Cog has started her project, with only an ash log...Surprising it is only with one log...I wonder how nice it will be...Time will tell all.

10th Malachite

A kobold has turned up, likely to try and steal our riches, but unlucky for him he got caught by kris who has been eager to test out her new short sword, I think she didnt get him though, as she came in frowning, and grumbling about bulky armor...


14th Malachite

Of all the things she could have made she...she made a BOW...Why in the world would she make a bow, when we dont know how to make arrows...the stupid dwarf is getting on my last nerve...She better watch herself, or she might get thrown into the Volcano, I mean for armoks sake...*The rest of the entry is rambling about how Cog is useless, and ignorant of TRUE dwarven weaponry...

19th Malachite

Nothing of note has happened, curious as I have been told Humans are heading to our fortress...I wonder what they want, some our crafts I'm guessing, at least it isn't damn dirty hippy elves....also in other news, since I have not had the time to order a proper storage room for our bones, I have decided to place them on the route to the farms.


16th Galena

It has been uneventful, only reason I am writing in the Captains log is to note just HOW boring it is, I am thinking of trying to build a couple towers around the area, to house our Crossbow corps that I am making.

19th Galena

It seems the slow humans have finally made it, and just in time, I had ordered a path to be cleared for wagons, since the mountain was to rough for wheels to cross...They seem to have plenty of goods to trade...


21st galena

I have made a makeshift office in the hallway, it will be taken away once I can build a proper room to make Kris count beans in...

24th Galena

Curses! I forgot to lay down traps, and now I have been caught off guard by an ambush from Goblins, I knew that Kobold would haunt me...It did, it told the goblins where we are....

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I quickly told our Militia to attack the invaders...and to close those damn doors!

OOC:Sorry for the abrubt end to it, but I thought this would be a good time to end it...for now, I hope those hewmans help some....I may need to build some coffins also...They caught me unaware, but Kris is leading the charge, and maybe wont die... and YES that is a goblin shooting at someone

[Flyingdwarf]

24th Galena

after the short battle with the goblins, I ordered the bridges closed until further notice
trade is ended...Brave Urvad and Edem died, but Kris went into a blood frenzy and killed
the goblin who slaughtered Urvad, the only kill she got...but a good one,I make a note to
melt any metals the goblins had.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

27th Galena

I have ordered a tomb to be made for the two dwarves who died on the raid, Urvad and Edem,
it should be finished next month

4th Limestone

Nothing else has happened since I closed all contact with the humans outside the walls, but
I think we need a medical specialist soon, Our chief medical personal isnt all that
great...I would rather trust my health to a Donkey than him!

6th Limestone

With all this death, I am wondering if we should have a party to honor Urvad and Edem...But
then some other need makes itself present, and it gets pushed to the back of my mind...

8th Limestone

Today I ordered two squads of dwarves into action, to serve as Crossbowmen, I hope they
will train well into the night for they are our support when things go down the drain.

17th Limestone

Besides the humans leaving without any of our goods, nothing has happened...wait what is
that...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Camels...in this
climate...Almost impossible to believe...

28th Limestone

Almost everyone has forgotten about Urvad and Edem...They weren't very popular in the first
place though...Its disturbing to see so many dwarves here, and im wondering why we have so
much wealth...It isn't like I made that much...

OOC:Thats it for now, Ill do the rest later, that is autumn and winter.

[krisslanza]

Woohoo I survived! 
I know I didn't Dorf everyone who wanted to be Dorf'd, so you could see if anyone we have fits anyone's requests if they aren't already Dorf'd.

[Flyingdwarf]

I forgot to check that, I will get right on it...Sorry for the inconvenience...I was a bit preoccupied, but I will get on it now

*edit*Only metime00 is not dorfed, and I dont know what he wants to be, so I might just give him one of our Marksdwarves...

[Flyingdwarf]

6th Sandstone

Whoa the last month went by so fast, I didn't even get to record it! Well Captains log, last month was boring, I just set up proper training posts for my two Marksdwarves, and since I will need some more wood, set them up on the recently built towers, to keep watch, since I need to lay down some traps, it will be vital to spot any goblins if there is any.

20th Sandstone

the work on the traps are slow and tiresome, I put a line of stone fall traps outside to detect goblins, and three crossbow weapon traps inside to get any who dare go beyond...I'm hoping to lose no other dwarves.

21st sandstone

Hermano...who just went and told everyone to stay...and I quote "Away from my precious Magma forge!" ...And now he has went to collect items, I have no clue what he is doing, but it better not be a waste of resources.

23rd Sandstone

He has now started a project...I'm having flashbacks to Cog, I hope Hermano doesn't make a flask or anything like that, Or I might have to give him a round in the Militia....

25th Sandstone

Even after two days he is still working in there...I wonder what he is making, it cant be to bad, if he is spending so much time on it.

27th Sandstone

After FOUR days Hermano came to present to me a pair of Iron Greaves, which he calls "Menexit" For some reason which I cannot fathom...but it is worth 40800* So it has to be pretty good...Plus it has spikes which is always good.

28th Sandstone

After much thinking, I have decided to give the greaves to Kris, since he is the leader of the Militia, he should have the best protection.

6th Timber

Nothing of notice has happened since Hermano went crazy and made those spikey pants o' metal...Though buzzards are arriving and scaring our dwarves a bit...I might shoot those down soon.

14th Timber

The dwarves of our old mountain home have arrived, and I am glad for it, It is nice to send to letters back to the folks...I guess they might want to trade as well

17th Timber

Three days after our brethren arrived, a filthy kobold arrived...I plan on killing this one

18th Timber

After a day of chasing him, the dogs caught him, and then held onto him, but he managed to get a few hits on Tosid...With the medical care we have, Im not sure if she can make it.

19th Timber

Odd...Tosid seems to have healed unnaturally fast, I suspect something dark afoot...The doctor isn't THAT good...I mean her LUNG was damaged...It is strange to me...I guess I will get some Sunshine...That will make me forget about it all...Mmm...

20th Timber

I have traded some of the junk that the Goblins dropped when they died to the visiting dwarfs, they netted me a lot of food, and booze along with blood...for which I will devout to Armok.

26th Timber

I have commanded a proper hospital to be made, and soap to be made also, incase there is a need for it....

4th moonstone

It is now becoming winter, good thing we have plenty of food and booze, otherwise we might be like countless other fortress'...and starve

OOC:Now I'm going to wait until tomorrow to do the rest.

[metime00]

This is turning out interesting. I'm excited, first succession game

Yeah, a marksdwarf would be great to be.

[Flyingdwarf]

Okay, I made you a leader of the second Marksdwarves, I need to build proper towers though, The ones I have now is just bad...But I have all winter to do it so I may be able to, also I'm producing Sunberries now...

[krisslanza]

Wait, we have sunberries? How did you get those?
