I already dropped our old mayor into the volcano, to learn the location of Armoks greatest bounty.

I already dropped our old mayor into the volcano, to learn the location of Armoks greatest bounty.

Well naturally his ass should follow him.

[Cellmonk]

Ok. srry I haven't updated the past few days. but I'm back in the chase! Heres some more of the log:

12th Granite:

I have begun my training in my personal squad,  the Girders of Calming. I realized that I needed a partner. I chose of many able and experienced dwarves the retired soldier Reg Kolonol. After killing many goblins, he had gained the title "Reg Wheelmountain the Crested Scream of Razors." He also apparently made an artifact wooden figurine, named Kacothsobir "Confinerelease", which depicts an outpost liaison losing his job. I'll make sure to confinerelease him, as we train for glory.

I nicknamed him Golem, because I created him to be less sentient and worthy of basic rights than I. At least I think I created him....

We are low on steel. Only nine bars remain in our supply. Nine!

Nein I say! we need more!

and so we will make more, if my shouted orders are heeded.

17th granite:

My... lab... is coming alone nicely. The fine Vahir shall engrave it all. ENGRAVE IT ALL I SAY! and it might just be the last thing he engraves. Don't want the next overseer (if they shall ever come) to have finer engravings of squares and buckets than I. Well, we'll see. He might just earn his life.

Hit a vein of galena in my maze of tunnels in which I shall sleep. The lead shall make the air sweeter.

22nd Granite

Someone brought a fungiwood bucket into my lab. I ordered it kept there. It shall suite my experiments nicely.

OH FUFF! golem was outside all along, with no path inside. no wonder he was hungry. I decided to try to figure out how to open the gate, if there is one.

maybe this lever will do something....

Luckily, we all didn't die (lived). I think I understand now.

I ordered the other mysterious lever pulled. Magma immediately began draining from the entrance. How fine.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Unfortunately, I have no patience for draining magma. I ordered an "emergency" exit dug. Uristmcthunderguts (I can never pronounce his name)  was so kind as to carve the little hole. My subdwarfen friend, Golem, slipped in, only mildly hungry. Of course, subdwarfen is not something to be ashamed of. All the dwarves but I are subdwarfen. I am, of course, Superdwarfy, unlike anyone else in this tiny world.

5th Slate

I thought this new entrance might be useful to other overlords. I am now in the process of fortifying it. an animal will be tethered, to alert of intruders, so the door can be locked (to halt them) and the bridge raised (to seal the hole, and squish them). I think the lever is self explanatory. I shall seal this entrance when the main one is open.

Ok, I've been slow to update the past few days because of school. However, tomorrow is the weekend. Expect some... interesting.. events.

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

Alright cellmonk, I'm calling your turn in 24 four hours.

[Cellmonk]

Alright cellmonk, I'm calling your turn in 24 four hours.

Sorry all. I've had some things getting in the way. should have passed it along earlier. 
go ahead with the next player.

Will enjoy continuing to watch the progression. 

Should I upload the save as it is, and let the next player play out the rest of my year, and then theirs?

[thegoatgod_pan]

Play it out with a brief accounting or post it as is, I am glad you aren't gone altogether, I just want more posts so the thread doesn't die

[Cellmonk]

Here's the save as of yet. I began a laboratory in the southeast. it is lucky for you all that I didn't complete it. It would have been quite a bloody lab. Maybe this change in turn can be framed as a silent coup against the dangerous mad scientist...

When I'm SURE (sure sure) I have time, ill come back and ask for a turn. this is a fine fort. I'm sad I couldn't find the time to do all I planned to do.

How many people are on the turn list, as it is?

Here's the final(?) words of cellmonk, the dwarven chymist:

I've had a short journey. Let me have glory again lest it end here! the halls shimmer as if my soul has been crushed into powder and scattering about, to rest in the crevasses and odd corners. May I scatter away, as a storm into the distant horizon, and sing again the sorrows unearthly tyranny? May I rest until I rise again, as soot from the fire, and belch my inner horrors out into the darkening halls, to free my veins of its quick-flowing silver?

here you go: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=5396

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

Alright I think it's Goat god pans turn now then.

[Cellmonk]

Alright I think it's Goat god pans turn now then.

May you be more successful than I,  Goat god! 

[restricted]

Guess who's back? And ready to fail some more. Sign me on if you can.

[thegoatgod_pan]

I will start tomorrow! when i wake up

[Cellmonk]

I will start tomorrow! when i wake up

lol. its the same here. It is usually the traditional "tomorrow" before I go to bed.

[thegoatgod_pan]

I've started and it looks great, insanely complicated, but smooth running. Only things I need to deal with is making more booze (600 is ok, but we could use more) and trimming the militia. Also I'm going to tentatively seal the side entrance that circumvents our traps.  Love the augury device. Looks like most of my turn will be devoted to getting my magma mine legacy functional. I'll do the write-up tomorrow night.

[thegoatgod_pan]

After a few years it is time for me to rule again, Goat, labor agitator and slayer of 32 and a giant toad, including a mountain titan and a particularly despicable and famous goblin called the Fell Inch of Tattooing

Our fortress is running smooth, but the nobles are as terrible as ever.

This is our mayor

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

What in the hells!?  Not only is the bastard only 13, but just look at what his "majesty" demands: he prefers to consume fly. Fly...I don't have the words?  Where do we even get fly? Maybe if the humans came, for once, they'd bring some barrels of fly brains. They must haul those goddam things across this crapssack world of ours just for our mayor to dig in, at the workers expense. Fly! His mother must have been a cat.

And the mandate:He likes native platinum of which we have none. Helms, figurines and beds is just a set of hassles, I don't even know if we can make pewter and finally the touching, always touching he talks to you. Its as creepy as the fact that he likes helping people, but doesn't really feel pity.

Oh you say, but he was raised in the fort, illustrous family and what not. As a child he must have made friends with everyone you say.  Nay its scary stuff my friends, his only friends

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

are farmer and a dead kid and his pa. No mother. Not even a cat.


His pa is a piece of work too.  Killed Meng Pillarracks, a dwarf, last year. Never found out how he got away with it.

This fort needs justice, and the gods just sent us a perfect object to deal it with: The Wild Tests a giant toad bone sword

First things first: rebuilt grates and pressurize me some magma.
