Swordsdorf is not as fun as knife-dorf.
Daggers will come from thieves, for sure. We lack goblins, but we'll definitely have kobolds.

[Machinesquid]

Nice... amateur carpentry.

'I left the legs on the right side shorter so it'd be easier to get out of bed in the morning.'

'I left holes in the barrels to let our wine breathe.'

[Conan]

Yeah, we'll have kobolds.

I would post the update right now but my dad took away my laptop, and I forgot to make a backup copy.

Expect it later today. Also...

Tobul has been encased in ice.

that's why we dig INSIDE!

[kilozombie]

Well that's fucking wonderful.

Am I dead?

[Conan]

However, we have migrants.

Just give me some time, I still haven't gotten back my laptop but I will soon.

[Farmerbob]

Being dead doesn't stop you from taking your turn as overseer

Can always make an immigrant named Tobulson or something!

[Triaxx2]

Lucky. All the surface area Aquifers I've found were in hot climates. No freezing, which makes for a real pain in the neck.

With a cold climate, it's all a matter of waiting for winter before you drive through.

Can't wait to see how it goes..

Actually, in freezing, it just freezes. Don't even have to wait for winter- it's all the same there.

AND THE PICTURES ARE UPLOADING. Update immiment!

20th Granite

I walked into the dining room. "Why isn't anyone digging out that moat?

"If you didn't notice," said Kohmra, "that was ice you walked on."

"Oh."

17th Felsite

Tobul popped in. "Rabbits!"

I got up from my desk. "What's so important about them?"

Tobul looked at me like I was stupid. "Meat, what else? With our stocks falling behind, every part counts!"

"Fine, fine, I'll go over there with Spoony to take them out."

Spoiler: OOC (click to show/hide)

I just love DF combat mechanics. Also, had to test out how good we are in combat. For some reason, I wouldn't equip an axe. Checked inventory, not there. Also, the game was getting boring and I needed to make some news.

Rabbit roast tastes good. With water buffalo lung. I should listen to Tobul more often.

16th Hematite

SNAP-CRACK

SNAP-CRACK

I woke up groggily. "What the carp is making that noise?"

"Oh sorry," Nano grunted through the wall. SNAP-CRACK "I'm making bone bolts here."

Spoiler: OOC (click to show/hide)

I hate how all workshops make 16 block noise, for a few z-levels too. Someone needs to reorganize the workshops after I finish my turn.

"Also, did you see those wild reindeer? They're off in the distance, just wandering around. I dunno why they're here, since there's no food."

"I'll go out there and greet them. We need the meat."

18th Hematite

"What's going on over there?" Nano stopped digging to listen.

Shing-CRACK--CRRAACKK HYAARRGHH

"Hey, you, Tobul, get your butt off that chair and go take a look!"

"Okay, okay, fine- WHAT THE CARP?!"

Nano stopped crafting bolts. "Is it those reindeer?" He grabbed a pickaxe and went up.

Tobul stopped him as he started to run off. "Just watch."





"Oh."

19th Hematite

I step into the small defensible enclosure. Tobul waits for me at the entrance. "We have a problem."

"What now? Me and Spoony just dispatched a group of zombie reindeer, and we need a drink. Not only that, but that confirms that this place is-"

"We got migrants."



"Go out and greet them." Can this year get any worse?

21 Hematitep

I slammed the paper down on the desk. "Are you kidding me, Tobul?"

"Nope. Six migrants, two of them masons and engravers, another two gem workers, one metalworker, and one brewer."

"Did you ask them why they're here?"

"Said they were the remains of a raided embark, off from the far southwest."

"Our king is insane."

"Yes, yes he is."

13th Malachite

Komra walked over to where I was cutting wood. "Hey, boss, can I get permission to-"

"Sure, sure, whatever, as long as it doesn't endanger any of us."

"Thanks!" He walked off, muttering to himself about ice and stone. Whatever.

------

Two minutes later: "Hey, somebody get over here! Komra's been encased in ice!





"Well, carp. Now we're not only one miner short, but also one pick short."

I have commissioned a slab to be built, using up one of our precious stone we luckily brought along with us. Looks like we'll have to do this the hard way.

Spoiler: OOC (click to show/hide)

I considered doing it underground but I am still newb at understanding water pressure, so I hoped to try to do it the easy way, through ice. Going to try one more time, more carefully this time.

[Conan]

I'm feeling this is getting pretty boring. Every fort I start tends to be conservative and starts up rather peacefully without any news.

I'm not going to "make" any news now. Hopefully kobold thieves will just come along and reveal themselves, this way we have some actual fighting.

[andyman564]

the first year is always a slog of absolutely nothing.. unless you embark in a terrifying biome. and please don't savescum, i'm a little peeved that my little guy died so quickly, but it's all part of the FUN!

if you could, please re-dwarf me as one of the migrant masons. with all my previous skills enabled.

[kilozombie]

[Just so you know, Conan, I really like what you're doing with the dialogue and stuff. Adds a unique feel to the succession fort.]

Sure thing.



I'll get the save done on Wednesday, tomorrow I have law classes.   

[peregarrett]

I'm taking one of those jewelers. Promote him to sheriff and set his uniform weapon to dagger.

Hammer justice is outdated. All hail to dagger justice!
