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.

WTF is this. Start off by yelling indignantly and waking the whole camp. Mockingly parody the empty threats, repeat word for word. Then Ironically threaten with "If you dare to do something that you werent gonna do anyways I will have you boiled alive, feed you your own limbs so hard that after i feed your remains to my  chickens  they will vomit you up and then the dogs will eat you and then i will eat the dogs, poop you out and grow a pretty flower from the nutrients." Laugh in his face. "now if you are done trying to stroke your own ego, you'd better go find a better target because its not my fault you were wrong about the barrels. you leaped to far in your assumptions and im not the one making you feel like an idiot about it. I dont care if you can count or not but dont bring your shit to me. I like you I really do . I voted for you  in the election even, but lets get that energy directed somewhere else. I have no interest in these dick measuring contests. Im Just trying to make our food supplies last as best i can." Sandow follows up on the empty threats lol

I love how we can roleplaying being jerks on this roleplaying forum.

Do you mean to build workshops out of, or do you mean turning a boulder into a block into a mug produces a better mug than just going boulder to mug? Would this apply to, say, burning charcoal?

Just to clarify, workshops built out of higher quality tools and tables improve the results made using them, right?

How does melting items down work? Do we lose metal in the process like in DF, or does it just cost fuel and labor?

Building a workshop out of higher quality tools and surfaces improves the work, in both speed and quality. When you use beams for say, making a chair, it's been split into usable pieces, any rot or fractures have been removed, etc. The same applies to blocks; it's already prepared for being worked. With melting metal, it could give a variable amount of return influenced by skill and workshop. Anything lost is destroyed or turned into slag.

Looks like everybody has posted, I'll post Day 3 now.

[Cheddarius]

Holy crap! I just looked at the first post. GM-ing this seems ludicrously intensive. I mean, that relationship web... wow. Huge respect for Shade-o here.

Yeah, I can't imagine.  The games I've run have seemed intensive at times, but they're nothing compared to this.

Norrec

Staying up at midnight to catch Sandow, Norrec raged loudly enough to wake up the whole camp. He took offense at this, and together they verbally sparred as snow began to fall. The temperature fell as the clouds gathered, and she put on her padded leathers to avoid the cold. As dawn broke she moved her bed into a tent and fell asleep as everybody else was getting up. At noon she woke up and shared a romantic lunch with Urist, then left to make a barrel. It took a while, but eventually the wood was cut, nailed and hooped into a sealed container.

Late that night, she borrowed Adil's crossbow and quiver and headed north into the freezing forest, hoping to find some game to bring back. That would show that stupid noble and that stupid artisan!

Lillipad

Waking at dawn, Mikhail sprung into action. Claiming the carpentry workshop, he tried making a crossbow stock. It took all morning, but by noon he had gotten some practice in and halfway finished a stock. Leaving the shop for Norrec, he travelled back to the treeline and took down another pine, dragging the log back to camp.

FuzzyZergling

Attacking the granite ferociously, Kog struck the earth indeed. At lunch he and Gar shared tales of conquest, military, romantic, real and imaginary. A unit of granite was removed. That night he once again attempted to strike up conversation, but Tholtig seemed distant and distracted.

Samthere

Using the foul taste of the mud worms as a warning for failure, Gar set to work in the mines. There he broke down a unit of stone, and triumphantly dragged it out. He and Kog realised that they could very well be best friends. That night he tried carving out some mugs, but he gave up after shattering the boulder into rubble.

Rolan

Heading to the treeline, Adil tried to cut down a tree but met only difficulty. Giving up on such hard enemies, she searched the soils nearby. The basin seemed to be loamy silt, probably fertile but currently covered in snow and ice. There seemed to be sand near the river, too.

Some wandering in the forest revealed two trailberries and a truffle, which proved nice additions to the stockpile.

Dragonshardz

Heading into the mine with great determination, with the assitance of the others Shem managed to mine out two units of stone, though one of them was shattered by an overenthusiastic Gar.

Nirur Torir

Eager to finish the first piece of stonework on site, Kogan set to work chiseling and polishing. By the end of the day he had produced a large, sturdy piece of masonry fit for a mountainhome. Later that night he helped drag the huge chunks of stone out of the mine. It was getting quite deep now.

Ochita

Heading out early, Urist gathered some sticks and branches for the campfires, and even found a handful of trailberries! He joined the work at the mine, and helped in removing a unit of stone, though it was shattered by a careless swing. That night he bade a tearful goodbye to Norrec as she went out to hunt, the stars and moon lighting the forest like the sun. He later fell asleep on her bed.

CoughDrop

After a breakfast of lobster, Litast started picking away at the rock. She met no success, and had nothing to show for the long hours of work. While checking the stockpile records, she found that they were eating and drinking their way through the supplies at an alarming rate. Hoping that nobody else would find out and destroy morale, she went to sleep while trying to think of a solution.

Hastur

After shouting at Norrec, Sandow stormed off to the mine. Determined to show them who was boss, he set to work with his golem, but failed to do anything more than scratch the wall. Leaving the golem to continue working while he had breakfast, he returned to find it attempting to push the rock wall away. Cursing at its need for constant supervision, he rejoined the others in mining, this time removing a unit of stone. He attempted to steal the bed, but was faced down by Urist. That night there was very nearly an incident when the golem attempted to place the bed in the campfire with Urist in it, but nothing came of it.

IronyOwl

After seeing what happened when Gar attempted to craft something, Tholtig decided against carving the boulder. Instead she sang songs over the ringing of picks, and later joined in with them. Though she personally didn't clear anything, she knew that she had contributed in some way.

That night she practised throwing again, this time finding that Litast's knives seemed to be lighter and better balanced.

[CoughDrop]

"There is no denying that food is currently a very serious problem... As such, I propose that we set off for two rations a day. I also propose that we mine out the southern room first and immediately start planting as each spot becomes available. Planting and food gathering are, as of now, our topmost priorities. These times are testing, but together we can make this place a wonder to be beheld by the MountainHome!"

[V-Norrec]

We also need to build our cistern, I notice nobody has cared to add that, can it please be added?

[FuzzyZergling]

I think the cistern can wait for a while, at least until we mine out some cave farming area.

[V-Norrec]

It'd be best to get the tunnel started while it's freezing and we don't have to worry about flooding, however after that I don't really care.  At least having it planned out would give us a baseline to work off of.

Edit:  Also how is hunting going to work, if I find an animal, do I get to fight it in the RPG format, can the whole thing be in the RPG format?  Or is the best I get to schedule the time and hope everything works out for the best?

[CoughDrop]

We also need to build our cistern, I notice nobody has cared to add that, can it please be added?

Do we need that to start planting? Really, planting is something that needs to be done as soon as possible.

it'd be best to get the tunnel started while it's freezing and we don't have to worry about flooding however.  After that I don't really care, but at least having it planned out would give us a baseline to work off of.

Perhaps we should make a simple stone floodgate to hold back the water until we have the rest of the tunnel mined out.

[V-Norrec]

No not to start planting, we'll need water for maintenance of the crops however.  And yes, a simple stone floodgate would work fine, I just want to get the tunnel started while there is 0 risk of drowning accidents.

[FuzzyZergling]

Do we need that to start planting? Really, planting is something that needs to be done as soon as possible.

Right now I can probably just irrigate with our barrels of water, or by putting ice in a bucket and letting it melt.
That said, a cistern would probably lower irrigation time, so we should still get one, just not right now.
Just my opinion.
