Spoiler: Character (click to show/hide)

Name: Tholtig Shatterbrine
Gender: Female
Appearance and Personality: Tholtig's father was a skilled craftsdwarf; her mother, a mighty soldier. Tholtig took almost exclusively after her father, much to her mother's exasperation, favoring artfully decorated glasswork and jewelry. She's exceptionally good at it, as well as having an eye for finance and both the looks and personality to make friends and contacts well, but calling her "weak" or "soft" might be something of an understatement. She's obviously far more enthusiastic about peaceful endeavors, but does sort of want to gain some militia-level skill in defending her fortress when necessary.

As for embark, I suppose my vote goes for Mountain Spring Cave. Heated springwater sounds awesome, and the caverns should provide plenty of Fun. I like the giant animals on Forested Mountain, but don't like that there's no river, so maybe we should just rely on elves to bring us tamed versions.

I'd also be down for Ocean Icefield, but of course that would be a very... challenging embark site. As in, we'd all die.

Rebecca has dropped out, so CoughDrop, you're in!
I'll need the equipment list, please.

^___^
Workin' on it.

[CoughDrop]

Sorry for the double post, but wouldn't I need special tools for butchery? Also, can I buy equipment to create my own arrows?

[FuzzyZergling]

You can butcher an animal without tools, though having a workplace and/or utility knife will help. Rangers can also butcher with less of a penalty than other non-butchers.
So, you could gut and clean a pig with bare hands if you're not worried about cleanliness or efficiency.

Arrows can be made from wood or bones and any sharp tool, though woodcrafters would produce better arrows. A metalcrafter or weaponsmith for quality metal arrowheads is nice too.

So, in summary, a utility knife is really nice to have, but you could make do with a sharp rock.

[Ahra]

what about an sword?

Final Character Sheet

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Myit Cattenakgos
Gender: Male

Appearance and Personality: A smaller sized dwarf, bearing dark brown hair and green eyes. He is rather serious, yet not devoid of humor for the appropriate moment.

Background: Starting his military career as a crossbowman at the age of 22, Myit learned the horrors of war, albeit in a more vicarious manor than those who engaged in close-hand combat. After serving four years, his military life was transferred to a newly commissioned entity; one which dealt with staying in the wilderness as a spy, often relying on wildlife for sustenance. Just recently, he was given an honorable discharge, propelling him into a life he was no longer used to. He has come to the conclusion that joining a fresh expedition would keep him helping his homeland's cause whilst keeping his own sanity in check.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

i'd love to join the next migrant wave. i think i'll wait for the game to start before i create a character, though

[IronyOwl]

So, I can't help but notice we've got around 3 weeks worth of booze, 4 weeks worth of food, and more dogs than dwarves.

This should be interesting.
