Sure! I'll have a go, Direforged is a pretty cool mod.
Alright, have fun. I'll be sure to notify you when your turn comes along.
In the meantime, here's my first turn.
5th Obsidian, 187
If you are reading this, then I am most likely dead, which would be of no surprise to me considering the mission that insane despot has sent us on. I as once a humble fish cleaner from the mountainhomes of The Prestigious Furnaces, and now the leader of a small group, sent to some new outpost in the wilderness in search of riches for the glory of our homeland. May Limul and Datan Ralavux bless our journey, as we will certainly need all the help we can get to survive here.
1st Granite, 188
It seems that we have arrived. Already this place seems rich in resources and if we are careful, we might just be able to survive. However, first we must start digging out our new home as I'm sure that soon enough the less desirable races will catch wind of this and might attack us. What more, we need to start making more food and create goods as the merchant's guild promised to send us a caravan each fall to trade with. Hopefully over the next two months we'll be able to do something.
12th Granite, 188
We're digging out an area to be our food stockpile, along with several small places for our food processing workshops. We are finding some clay and rhyolite. Not exactly prime construction materials, but they're better than trying to build our fortress out of wood.
7th Hematite, 188
We have some farms now. It should help for now since the fisherdwarf isn't catching anything right now. There are a number of aligators around which are somewhat worrying, and the lack of bedrooms are making everyone upset. I' having several rooms dug out which will give us some extra materials as well.
24th Hematite, 188
Migrants? So soon? Poor fools seem to be eager to march to their deaths to come here of all places. Thankfully I already ordered to dig out more rooms than we would need anyway.
17th Limestone, 188
We've started to fill up the new rooms, when some more migrants showed up. We're going to need to expand our outpost, and we're going to begin with a hospital and a barracks to get ready for when we get invaded. I just hope that the rest of the year goes smoothly.
13th Timber, 188
One of our miners dropped everything he was doing for no known reason and rushed over to a workshop. Before we know it, he is carting boulders to it and is now starting to work on who knows what. Limul help us, I'm rather worried about him.
18th Timber, 188
The miner has just unveiled the most exquisite rhyolite coffer I have ever seen.
...
I had it installed in my quarters.
Later on I get the news that the caravan from the mountainhomes had just arrived, and I immediately send for our crafts to be carried over for trade, and summon the broker to the depot.
3rd Moonstone, 188
We managed to get a large amount of food from trade, along with several other wares. We could even offer a few things to our monarch as well. In the end, we left the traders quite the profit margin. This will lessen the blow when we rob them blind next time.
7th Obsidian, 188
I have requested a number of goods from the liason, including several ores, seeds, meats, eggs, and others, and they have shown interest in several products, but I feel more confident that we will be able to supply earrings, and just maybe some large gems. We will have to see how that goes.
I have also been told of some idiotic sprite flying about and punching one of our dogs. Should more show up I'll just have to send out a hunter or two.
18th Obsidisan, 188
Ast is acting strangely, and has just taken over our craftsdwarf's workshop. I just hope that nothing bad comes out of this.
20th Obsidian, 188
Ast has started work on something, with two logs at the workshop.
23rd Obsidian, 188
Kobolds! Damn them to hell, they found out outpost. Thankfully I've started to train a few soldiers to defend us in the future, but they have come much earlier than anticipated.
24th Obsidian, 188
So I was told that Ast finished his work and ARMOK'S BEARD WHAT THE PURRING MAGGOT IS THAT THING?!
BURN IT! SEND IT BACK TO HELL! To think that such abominations lurk in this world chills me to my very soul...
1st Granite, 188
We've set up some nest boxes and hives so we can diversify our food stores a bit, but we should be okay for food for now. Our drink stores are worryingly low, though. Not everyone has a room yet, but it shouldn't be long. All we should really need at this point is to get more soldiers and mine a bit more, since we are rather lacking in actual ores and gems. In the meantime, I'll be leaving control to a friend of mine.
