\\::The First Week:://
They had never discussed on whether or not the food and drink should be rationed from both the Trip and the first week. So each dwarf took their share before setting out to their tasks they had planned for themselves, some worked together, some against one another and some just kept clashing every time they tried to do it their own way. But the general plan was to gather a good amount of food, and get across the River into the Cliff Face before them...

- Gained 24 Empty Mountain Home Barrels (Low Quality)

Athor took like a Mad Dwarf to his new Ax and tore into the Woodlands after the Wooden Flesh of his sworn enemy, Nature. Even though the Ax was greatly rusted from miss use and little care from the Mountain Home, it still seemed to do good work in cutting down many trees by the end of the week...

At first Kagrenac took some time in the first day to look for any plants that could be edible, but sadly he seemed to only find pre-developed berries or just missed and tread all of the possible bushes. Later giving up and started preparing to go hunting, but first was the ammo, unless of course he wanted to attempt to bash critters over the head with his crossbow. Stripping a good amount of branches from the trees as they came in he sat down on his bedroll and began to whittle away at them until he could be satisfied with the shape and sharpness of the bolts. They were simple bolts, wishing for some feathers or something but when he went looking for some, he found it eerily odd that no birds were in the area...
Now that he thinks of it, there wasn't even a bird's tune in the air...
He spent the last of the week preparing beds for their new home, simple design of beds, just carved out logs with a couple of supports on either side, climbing in and out would be annoying, but at least it was more comfortable then the bedrolls they slept in now under the stars...

Feeling Naked against the world around him without a weapon, and having no metal or solid materials to craft a Mace out of himself. He went looking for a more Primitive method of doing so. At first this plan seemed like a good idea, perhaps if anything the weapons would be strong and such, but after a while he began to have doubts. The Shape was good, but the sticks would break under the weight on the impact, and the stones were either too heavy or too light to do damage. In the end some thread were snapped under poorly designed weapons and nearly every attempted Mace had broken their haft when swung against the tree. Perhaps more time and better workspace would be wiser, considering that he spent most of his time fumbling while making them...

Wanting to help he began to hand out the goods, but was quickly reminded that that wasn't a useful job by the others, they could get it themselves. So he picked up his Fishing rod, bait and tackle and headed to the river. The cool water wasn't freezing and the shore had shown NO sign of ever being frozen during the winter, but the fish were not a numerous as he had hope for, no less they will surely come back as the world heated up again. It started off slowly but then he had pull in a goodish haul over the course of the week...

Hunting was all on this Dwarf's mind, and a Spear was the only choice of weapon too, despite being a swordsdwarf... Hmmm. Odd...
Regardless Hintz joined Litast with collecting the materials needed for their primitive weapons, taking extra time to Knapp the stones into a more pointed shape, but in the end, he too was having a bit of difficulty in shaping the weapon like Litast, fumbling and the thread freying against the stone was common and by the end of the week, he had little to show for it except more mats...
Schedule:
1: Pester* Sandow to build a temporary brewery. Find an open space near the river (around 5x5 metres), clear it for farming, gathering any plants within the plot. If there is time, turn the soil for planting
2: [finish] Turn[ing] soil for planting. if finished before dark, gather plants.
3: Gather plants.
4: Plant recently gathered seed.
5: Check if Sandow has built a still yet. If he has, brew something interesting from recently harvested plants. If not, continue to plant seeds.
6: If there's a still, brew moar drinks. If not, Gather moar plants.
7: If Sandow hasn't built the brewery yet, sow seeds in any places that have not yet been used. If he has, Brew All The Things!
*: "Excuse me, Sandow, was it? You're a carpenter, yes? Do you think you could Build me a brewery? I'd like to get down to work making fine ales and wines as soon as possible."

Nikuz began his first week by gathering some plants and tilling the soil near the river in preparation of his above ground farming. Turning the soil and gathering any plants in the same area was more of a challenge then anything else as he would pull up roots and destroy the bushes without realizing it. But in the end the area was read, he began to plant the only seeds that were currently available thanks to the two Dwarves going
"caveman", planting the Rope Reed seeds so that they could grow, but he had noticed that the roots of this plants grew in such a way that no other plant could grow along side them in the same plot due to strangulation and such...
He dismissed the idea for now, and began to brew some booze in the newly constructed Still that Sandow had build for him, but the thing was, Sandow didn't know what the brewer would need, and thus the only thing for the Workshop was a flat space to work on. Not a great brewery, in fact it was terrible, but he worked with it as he had asked for a temporary one anyway. Regardless more booze would be available for the next week...
Sandow handles the axes in the wagon and takes the sharpest one in his calloused hands. He gets to chopping down the nearest tree. "ahh a fresh crop of harvestables. I hope nobody enjoys the shade 
"
1 chop trees
2 build bridge north to mountainface, across river.
3 erect carpentry workshop and start toassemble 7 beds at least
4 Construct a still. chop trees in spare time
5 make light wooden canoe and oars
6 build wooden doors untill day is over.
7 build sharpened stakes
at the end of the week, Sandow takes a tree stump sticking out of the ground and chops it into a rough mishappen throne. Sits on it and relaxes. "So uhh, anybody need wooden cages or traps or anything?"
This is where working together should be worked out a bit more, it was an Error on my part to just go down the list as I had copied the Actions into this Post, but still, knowing there was only 1 Carpenters Toolkit means only one Carpenter can work in the workshop at a time. I could have had you build the Workshop on Day 3, but your action after would result in nothing as all the logs to that point had been used, by my maths that is, meaning no action towards making beds, so I had you cut trees. All other actions were Carpentry Work, but the Workshop had been taken over to make beds like your earlier action had wanted so I let the bed maker go for it...
The Bridge was an early action, which made little sense considering that you had NO building materials at that time, so I moved it to the last day. You really need to take this into consideration mate. And ALL of you if you are reading this, Check what others are doing. Your a fort in the making, not Hermits damn it...

So many times did Sandow but shoulders with another Dwarf during the week. At first it was harmless and simple things, he was challenged by Athor in his mad lust for Logs and in that he failed only because he wasn't dedicating too much concentration to it. Athor though didn't care, he won. Sandow wanted to build a bridge, but discovered there wasn't enough logs around to even get an idea of design going, so he went cutting more. He was to build a Carpenters workshop, but Kagrenac said he would do it, grabbing the carpenters tool for the next day. He struggled to work out how to build the Still for Nikuz, and gave up after finally getting something ready for the Dwarf, rolling over the empty barrels was all that he though he needed to do other then the workstation. After that he went back to cutting down more trees. Each day he headed towards the Carpenter's Workshop and looked to see if he could do some work, but there was Kagrenac working on beds which left him little space to work. Kagrenac also wanted more logs for the beds after stuffing up with one to the point that it was little more then firewood...
Finally on the last day he began to design the bridge, simple yet effective was his plan...

Knowing what she needed to do, Rasul began to search high and low for the plants around the river bank and the wooded area they had camped in. The success of this meant that there was plenty of berries and rat weed to eat the next week too...

Each night though they unrolled their bedrolls and attempted to tuck themselves in under the Wagon, as there was not even one tent for them to use. The stars watched as they fell asleep together. None awake to notice the shadows moving around them...

End of Week Notes.
Please remember to check and work with eachother on these actions, Hastur's actions should have been done first but I had copied them into the post poorly and went down the list as I went through them all. Setting up the first turn was always going to take some time, as I would have to work out the DR and the Modifiers and how they effected things, next few turns will be easier to do. Hopefully...
Also, the Flavour text isn't really needed so if you think I shouldn't bother, let me know. It acts more of me trying to work out your actions and how they were spos to go and sometimes something else from the area. But pretty much me berating you all on things such as the Rationing of the Food, the conflicting Actions and attempting to double up on actions per day, which I will say again for the 3rd time, YOU CAN'T!!!
In the end though, I think this is going to be a good game. But give me time and make sure these things happen from now on...
1: Bold your actions, so I can find them easier.
2: WORK TOGETHER DAMN IT!!!, You have one tool for carpentry so far, that means only one dwarf can work in the workshop.
3: One action each day for the whole week. Some things are free where they don't have a dice roll. But saying that you want to make 6 beds in one day is impossible.
4: Communicate with each other on what is happening, know when and who wants to use what when. Should the food be rationed. Etc...
Also should I add in a Happiness Bar for each dwarf. Be a bit more detailed on how food and such is effecting you all? Or working with a conflicting personality result in changes in happiness too?
