seriously? I swear to god if your fucking with me I'll kill you.
Dear Armok, it has been over a year since I wrote in our Logs. Not that it could be helped, we moved in by Autumn, thank Ostelth, and have long since forgotten the problems of starving.
Then we dug deep to the bottom of the mountain, out to the brook. We intended for this three way tunnel system to allow us to bring in water and traders, and make a wonderful 'greeting' for the Orcs should they bother us. They did, and before the thing was finished.
We holed up behind our walls, the seven of us far ill-equipped or trained to deal with them returning so fast. They stayed, obviously having caught note of us having survived and gained sustenance, bastards.
Canu was getting bored, so we butchered up a batch of cats, and gave him a rusty crossbow that we had found outside, and let him go to it,, not having anyone to spar with him for melee arts. The Orcs eventually left, but not before sitting around for nearly two seasons.
Then the unthinkable happened.
We had dwarven visitors, not just wandering traders, but, migrants? Besides wondering if our ale had been pissed in by the cats again, we were all trampled by Clanratc, who ran the distance to them in an instant. It was a lovely reunion with his child and brother. Apparently she had been "made possession" of the King, fat old sack of catflesh, to "improve his quality of life". She had been saved by a child recruit named Atreyu, who seems to fancy himself the greatest warrior ever. Methinks I see a rivalry coming.

Others came as well, victims of the usual bueraucratic bullshit. I've always wondered how a blacksmith or farmer is worth less for "survival rates" than a Duke, who happens to eat three times as much as the rest, but it is the fate of Despotisms I guess.
Here we will make a better life, if we don't die first.
Honestly though, we're doing pretty good at that, and the mood throughout the fortress has definetly improved. For very obvious reasons.

We are now finishing up our three way tunneling system, bringing us fresh water and irrigation from ten levels below. It is a task I relish with anticipation, and hope I haven't gotten rusty with my mechanincs over the last year.

Canu is an amazing man, the stories he told of the old Fortress he resided at give all of us great hope we can survive here. NotMeh has also taken great interest in what Canu knows of the great hunter Bunz.
I have asked him to repeat his visions of the last battle of Ushilkeshan Sedilgesorbisol Alnis many times. It is tragic what happened there, and we do best to not repeat their mistakes of low in-fort supply. It is good to have the man with us though, he gets more of his skill back every day, soon he will be playing Armokarathbal with ever Orc who dares cross us. Then again, I think he much prefers Swords to hammers.
Maybe things will turn out fine.

[QUOTE=Zatharon;20956062]seriously? I swear to god if your fucking with me I'll kill you.[/QUOTE]
That's just his bet as to when DF will come out.
To lower your hopes and protect you from any disappointment the dwafichment centre is required to inform you that in all likleyhood this will not be the case.
The Dwafichment centre would also like to remind you that the chances of your suvival have now risen to %0.02
P.S Libertas dibs on the first cheesmaker
[QUOTE=Orkel;20956102]no[/QUOTE]

So Libertas, did I become a mason or an engraver, or both?
Am i in here?
Is it correct to assume large gems are a detriment towards profit? Or can you actually [I]do[/I] anything with them?
Yay I found my kid, I think.

So we should just keep playing until the day the new version comes out?
Also, Libertas, you could always make a new world and assume the save you made never happened.
Anyway, once I get to my normal computer I'll start consistently posting my own Fortress.
Yeah, but that site... it was *sniff* beautiful.

Got my first quest after genning a new world. It would wait until year 100 to calculate megabeasts, and to stop when 10% were dead. Here's how it went. My Demon was tasked with killing a giant to the east.
Rithi Ashencity, the Deification of Conflict, a brash, young Swordsdemon charged headlong in to the dark cave. He could hear conflict below, but he was unsure as to what it could be. After fumbling in the cave for a moment, he discovered the source of the noise. It only took a moment to process the situation. A giant slumped against the wall, and a Cave Swallowman standing nearby. Without a second thought, he charged. The distance closed in a second, and before the Swallowman could react, he witnessed his lower body separating from him.
Rithi looked down at the unconscious Giant. Looking at it, it wasn't the giant he had been tasked to kill (a shame indeed). He lifted his blade to end the beast and swung down...
Only for the giant to suddenly reach up and catch his blade, pushing him back. The giant regained his footing and roared ferociously. Rithi readied his massive Zweihander, then swung with all of his might! The giant attempted once more to catch the blade, but it wasn't enough. His forearms flew off in a bloody arc and the Zweihander slammed in to him. The blade cleaved through the giants neck, propelling the two pieces at away such a velocity that the giant smashed in to the cave wall and exploded in a shower of gore.
Rithi stood for a moment, panting. He had killed his first, but certainly not last, giant. He walked over to the corpse of the giant, grabbing the severed head and stuffing it in to his backpack. Somewhere below was his target. There was no time to rest, so he descended the stairs to begin his search anew.
He had only been in the lower cave a moment before he heard it: Deep breathing, coming from...
Behind him!
Rithi spun just as the giant grabbed him by the arm and hefted him in to the air.
"I am Abli Raneluth. Prepare to die..."
Rithi hefted his blade with one hand and swung, the blade slicing Abli's torso cleanly across. She roared and stumbled backwards, gripping the bleeding wound. Abli roared again and charged, slamming in to Rithi and knocking the both of them to the ground. Rithi attempted to get away, but realized that the giant had gripped his hand in her leg. He pulled and pulled but to no avail, and just barely dodged as the giant's fist skimmed past his chest. Rithi pulled one last time and broke free, stumbling backwards.
Immediately the giant was upon him again. He pulled his blade up and parried the charge, but the force knocked him backwards. He stood, but the giant slammed in to him again. And then once more. Rithi was sure this was the end.
He looked up, and stared in awe. The giant was dead. Without realizing it, he had pointed his Zweihander straightforward, and giant had impaled herself upon it. Rithi realized he had been holding his breath the entire time, and exhaled slowly.
Sorry for the wall of text. :v:
Libertas! dibs on military dwarf, don't care what kind, preferably not the kind that gets anally raped by orcs though.
Libertas can i be a hunter? I live for danger!
