Hastur's day

Meeting with grand success from the day previous, Sandow woke up at midnight and began cooking again in his now-set up kitchen. Though the process was more complicated, not having to set up saved a good deal of time, and by dawn the Num Num Rollies were done. They smelled quite nice, but everybody else was too distracted to even try them.

For the rest of the day he attempted to smooth down the entryway that had been carved out, but the work was hard, not helped by the picks swinging and rock chunks flying nearby. Ultimately one square of wall was smoothed down.

Lillipad's Day

Setting out with determination and vigour, Mikhail took to the treeline, imagining they were an army of goblins. Over the day, one tree was felled, providing a good quality log.

Rolan's Day

Bringing out her new favourite axe, Adil chopped down a tree in record time, with some assistance from Tholtig. She stopped after that and wandered near the camp, searching for more edible undergrowth. She found 3 more Wild Trailberries and 2 Forest Truffles! The berries made a good lunch and dinner, and since there were no more barrels to store in she shared the rest around the camp. That night she tried milking her maggot, and this time managed to get it all in a bucket. It purred, but it was impossible to tell if it enjoyed it. Without any barrels available, it would have to be drunk soon.

Dragonshardz' Day

Joining in the mining efforts early, Shem struck the earth with a practised stroke. Although he personally only dug one unit, his assistance helped the novices greatly. After checking with the masonry shop and finding Kogan hard at work, he broke out one lump of stone. That night he dined finely while playing with his cute puppy, which was enjoying these new surrounds.

Samthere's Day

Waking after a long day of labour, Gar set to work with a vicious swing of the pick. Despite not knowing anything about mining, he set his brawny back to the matter with the hope that any problems would be resolved by muscle. In between gruelling shifts, he chatted with Tholtig on a variety of issues, including philosophy, politics, religion, agriculture, geology and emergent trends among the younger generation. The two hit it off well, enjoying each others company. As the moon shone brightly overhead, he dragged out a solid piece of granite struck from the cliff.

IronyOwl's Day

In the morning Tholtig assumed pack animal duty. She was struck by an idea, and saddled up on one of the mules. The beast was more bemused than anything, and she led it to the treeline while shouting battle cries. She used the assistance of the mule to drag the logs back to camp much more easily. Later she worked hard at the mine with Litast, but her arms were weak and her eye for structural weakness poor. She did assist Litast in extracting a huge lump of stone, though. That night she sang a song under the light of the full moon, of black cliffs rising to the angry sky, of warlords and gods and tides of war. It was pretty cool.

FuzzyZergling's Day

He paid attention while Norrec explained the intricacies of brewing. The bubbling, the foaming, the gradual processes that turned ordinary plants and fungi into life-giving ales and beers. Joining in the veritable crowd that was swinging at the tunnel, he struck stone with might. With the assistance of the others, he broke through another unit of stone and brought out a boulder. That night he talked with Tholtig, but the conversation went poorly.

Ochita's Day

Waking up early to keep watch, Urist worked furiously through the day at breaking rock. Perhaps it was love, or perhaps just plain dwarfy determination, but as the moon glared down on the cliffs he was able to drag out a solid piece of granite.

Norrec's Day

Norrec noticed the Trailberries that Adil and others had gathered the previous day. Realising that the time to brew was nigh, she gathered them all up before they could be eaten and set to work brewing them good. Kog assisted where he could, but mostly watched and learned from the more experienced brewer. The barrel was set to ferment, but it would take some time before it was ready. Norrec estimated that there should be about eleven good drinks worth in it, sure to be ready in a few days.

In between meals and brewing, she hammered away at the half-made bedframe. Dragging over another log and handful of bolts screws, it was finished late at night, nothing fancy but definitely functional. Grabbing a bedroll, she combined it all and soon had the best (and only) bed in camp, which she placed near the campfire and sat on while keeping guard.

Nirur Torir's Day

Putting an eye to the future, Kogan woke up at midnight after a brief nap. He grabbed some tools and the last expedition table, setting up a masonry workshop. After a breakfast and kitten-play, he went back to sleep, waking at midday. After placing the bin of papers in the excavation, he took a boulder of granite and started carving it into a table. After a few hours, one of the rocks began to resemble a table-like object, but he was too tired to continue it further.

CoughDrop's Day

Waking up late after a long night of mining, Litast set to work in the excavation. The initial adrenaline rush of breaking into the cliff face was wearing off, and after spending most of the day she had cleared out a single unit of rock. She did manage to extract a large boulder of granite, which she triumphantly dragged out before going to bed.

Fortunately everybody was in good spirits. The simmering between Norrec and Tholtig seemed to have passed, at least to a passive level. Working apart seemed to distract them, and with a bit of luck the expedition wouldn't tear itself apart due to any ill-thought plots or intrigue.

Events

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Adil discovered Forest Truffles! These tasty surface fungi are popular amongst all races, but only grow on tree trunks or stumps. They cannot be brewed.

Norrec has brewed the first barrel! While it ferments it cannot be opened without ruining the brew. It will take a few days to ferment properly, then it can be drunk.

Norrec has finished the first piece of furniture! Most furniture requires two pieces of material and a metal fitting. The bedframe has been combined with bedding to create a more comfortable sleeping experience.

Inventory:  Leather Armor, Waterskin filled with Dwarven Beer for the hunting trip, Backpack (with 2 servings of Plump Helmets, 1 serving of Num Num rolls, 1 serving of Cave Crab.), Quarterstaff, Rolan's Crossbow and Quiver (borrowed).
(Give the gold bars to Urist for safe-keeping)

Midnight - 4:  Start off by telling Hastur if he cooks any more food today I'm going to kick him in the shin so hard he's going to have a broken leg.  Make sure to deliver on that promise if he attempts to cook any food.  While watching over the camp for the night pray and meditate on the essence of Hipobis Giltgold.

4-5:  Eat some of Hastur's Num Num rolls or whatever so he doesn't get a major-case of butt-hurt about not being able to cook without threat of injury today, wash it down with some of the Purring Maggot Milk.

5-noon:  Move my bed inside one of the tents (if possible if not, in the shade between the wagon and the cliff) and sleep.

noon-2:  Eat and talk with Urist.  Lunch will be one of those Sandow Stew and a plentiful helping of Dwarven Beer

2-8:  Create Barrels and Bins in an alternating order of barrel, then bin.

8-9:  Supper of Chicken Meat and Brine Ale if Urist is around and not working try to eat with him.

9-12:  Head into the forest to see if I can see what kind of animals are nearby and attempt to hunt down some small game.

[V-Norrec]

Hey Lilli, could I borrow your crossbow and a quiver for hunting btw?

[Lillipad]

No.

[Cheddarius]

This has an average of almost 150 posts a day in real life, and 650 per in-game day. That's equivalent to a dwarf saying something in the game roughly every 2 minutes - 27 posts per in-game hour.

[V-Norrec]

Well we started out with a lot of prep work, now that we are here it has comparatively slowed to a crawl because it's not fast RPG action now.

[Lillipad]

We were too busy committing arson, the second best kind of crime, to notice that we weren't shutting up.

[Cheddarius]

Oh my, you're right. 1500 posts for prologue. Oh my.

Now it's ~30 posts per day, 150 per in-game.

[Lillipad]

I didn't even notice that we were out of the prologue until you pointed that out.

Hey Lilli, could I borrow your crossbow and a quiver for hunting btw?

I'm not using mine yet, you can use them!

Rolan if it seems agreeable to you, please go try to find a plot of soil we can transplant to inside our cave that seems to have the best mix of plants within the next few turns, then we can go dig it up and transplant it to our farm.

Sounds good.
