Glacier, then! Let's begin.
"Darth Vader" is adequate in swordsmanship, fighter, dodger, and- once we get some defenses set up- adequate gem setter and cutter.
"Sirocco II" is a hammerdwarf and our engraver.
"Urist McHuman" is a skilled building designer, skilled mason, and adequate carpenter.
"Mormota" will do some axe defending.
"Wypie", you've been overruled so we can get a hole in the ground dug, pronto. You, like me, are a miner, and you'll do some farming and brewing. You're also a proficient cook for export.
I'm a mason/miner. Litast the peasant remains Litast the peasant. Somebody can sign up for him, but by then he'll probably have a job- there's no goofing off in a fort like this.
So now we need a name. Frozenvictims sounds good to me.
FOR FROZENVICTIMSWe're packing one axe, one hammer, 2 picks, and a sword; to make room we only have 60 booze, so farming has to start quickly. We'll assign everybody to masonry, at the start, and bring stone to throw up some walls around the wagon. I don't care that there's no room to the outside; we can knock a hole open later. We've packed one cat, and 7 female and 2 male dogs (don't want our only sire to die.) Plus 35 Sandstone, and a war dog.
READY
SET
DIE
Well, that's interesting.
A word to the wise: there are no murky pools. If there were water...but there is no water. Not on the surface, at least.
(With all apologies to the late, great T.S. Eliot.)
Still, nothing to it but to throw up some walls. The only wildlife around are some skeletal muskoxen, but they're all on the other side of the map...
7th Granite: Bitches. Why won't these idiots stay inside the walls? Things would be so much easier.
9th Granite: Deconstructed the wagon, got a door made. The muskox are building destroyers, however, so...we'll have to get a better solution made.
10th Granite:
Limestone. It's not only a flux, but it also has- somewhere- veins of coal and iron ore. That means steel, bitches.
Let's go get those oxen. But in the meantime, I'm getting a food stockpile and some farms set up in the dirt. They're not intended to be permanent- eventually I'll dig out a big room thingy in the stone, set up for food and maybe some other stockpiles. But we can't concentrate on aesthetics now.
