So You want to hear a story? One about Dwarves and how they labored to create secure refuge for a rather unpopular King? Than you are in the right place!
My goal is to create a secure, defend-able and, most importantly, rich fortress worthy of becoming new mountain homes! I have few Regulations I have set up to differentiate it from any other fortress I have build:

Iffy memory, poor empathy, very bad analytical abilities, poor focus, very bad intuition, but good for social relations. That's the leader we all need here! Just never ask him to sing.
If we find any alder here, please store its logs into special stockpile. I'll use then to furnish my room.
I did not find any alder yet, we are still in the early stages so no customized rooms at this point, wait a year or two^^ After that I'll do my best to accommodate any wishes^^

Dear diary. I was chosen to work on secret project somewhere in the wilds. Project, devoted to national security, can't say more due to non-disclosure agreement that I signed. And today we arrived. Snow, mountains and a volcano that's all we get. A lot of work to do!
I'm here to provide this outpost with woodenware, although I'm not high-skilled carpenter. I have to master my skills here and develop my own style, before ___ ________. But for now I'm just cutting trees to get the material for myself.
...
Dear diary. We got new recruit party here. A family - husband, wife and three children. What's the purpose of bringing children here?! Maybe there's something we don't know about ____'s preferences?
...
Dear diary, we got a supply caravan here. And a new group of recruits just before it. Funny, caravan's leader said he's here just for TRADE, but surely that's just a cover. Not a good one, must say - who ever would want ot travel here through all the dangers to trade with poor just created outpost?!
Also, a guy who come as Mountainhome Liaison took all the records we made here, so bye-bye dear diary, I'll have to find another piece of paper to write on.

Dear Diary. Elves came here to trade, and knowing that they are highly qualified in woodwoking I brought them some of my creations. I just wanted to ask them to give me advises of futher development of my skill, but they looked very offended and refused to trade. Still, we took everything we needed.

I will also try to get that alapaca for that guy who asked for it.
Just one rule about getting new dwarf. Ask for a different name, to make it less confusing when, or if, old one comes back. Exception are FireCrazy and Urist McDwarf as their guys are dead for sure. I'm gonna give you a day or two to decide. And Sorry for being so sloppy.

Dear Diary. Last migrant group was ambushed by goblins and almost wiped out, and we barricaded the gate. What Exodius does, we need a proper military here!
Also elven traders managed to get in. Exodius met them and they suddenly died by his axe. I guess he wanted to test his fighting skills before battle.
.....
Dear Diary. Human traders threw goblins away and removed the siege out. We opened the gate and let them in.

We arrived to the place. Goblins seem friendly... for goblins. Actually, there are goblins and human merchants scattered around who looked 'friendly'. I mean, they stare into nowhere and smile dumbly.
I guess they found the wine cellar of outpost's founders and guzzled it... I should negotiate with yak, she looks the most intelligent among all them.

Also they threw down their armour and even clothes, giggling and singing about elven lifestyle in a harmony with nature.

ENTRY #1
Why was I called from my duties as a royal guard to this forsaken fortress? The corridors are littered with junk, and we found the goblins drunk. I must say, that little trick about the goblins handing their armor and weaponry over worked quite well. They are now pacified and I am keeping a close eye on them, along with my duties of watching Litheme. Recently, there was a fight between a goblin and a yak. I feel sorry for the goblin, after being tossed like that. There was also a death. HissingWallnuts' baby has died from starvation. I have managed to stop Hissing before he could do anything more drastic to Litheme. I cannot stop to feel partially responsible for this death, if only I would have payed more attention to recent events.

Dear diary. One of this outpost's founder have returned back from wilderness. Name is Flame, the brewer and cook. Strangely, he doesn't want to be a cook anymore, but wants to be a soldier instead. Well, he's the hammerdwarf now, but I guess he'd be more deadly with his brewery - just look at those goblins who are still out of their minds! I think if their kin sieges us, we just throw the barrels out the walls and wait for them to drink them dry. Nobody except dwarves can survive that!
Other news - soon we will flood everything with magma, which is always Fun! When they start, I'll be on the highest tower with a barrel of rum and a piece of meat roast watching that.
Oh, look, Flame is chasing some elf. He'd better have an axe instead of hammer, it's more amusing and fitting.

The only time I was really confused was the first time you used the word "fun" instead of 'fan".
Where was that?0.0 Anyway, welcome to Murderwheel, we would give you a pamphlet but naked, insane goblins ate them all.
EDIT: Nevermind found it^^ the misspelling, not the pamphlets that is.
Also, do you have any names for the Contest? It will be more fun when more people participate. I have banned myself from it of course, as I can give my dwarves whatever accommodation I see fit.^^

Entry #2
The goblins have invaded! We closed the gates, not long until after I realised that Karnii was still outside. I refuse to believe that we had closed the gates, even though we knew one of our dwarves were out there. We even released the magma. We found his body on the top of the volcano, soon after, with bolts sticking out of his body. I personally saw to the burial of my friend. I cannot contain my anger anymore, I must unleash it on somebody!
Also, about the competition:
Contest for a Very Dwarvy Name is open. Please do give your ideas as to what to call our magma-device. Extra points for acronyms that make sense are dwarvy^^. Winners get an engraved quarters complete with office, dining room and sculpture garden, with furniture material of their choice.
Terms and conditions apply, for rarer materials one may wait for 10+dwarven years.
Here is my list of suggestions:
FIRE DEVICE - Fun and Insane Radiation Extermination Device
CHAOS DEVICE - Crispy, Hellish And Outstanding Secret Device
EXTERMINATE DEVICE - EXceptional Tactical Efficient Royal Millitary Insane Natural Attractive Termination Effective Device
(Okay, all of these are bad, I vote for INSANE)

If that's not possible, I'll go for the most useless dorf in the fortress (at your discretion, I'm not picky); but definitely prefer a just-turned-adult dwarf, with the worst social skills possible..

One of human merchants impressed us with his skills of unarmed self-defence - he just killed a berserking dwarf with a single throw by thumb. He said he'd been taught that in a far far away Mountainhome by some mechanical training room. Very interesting.
Litheme sent a message to Exodius, and he replied with blueprints of device. Damger Room he calls it, quite fitting. Now everyone is exited about this device, someone even wants to put every citizen under training. But I afraid that will result in a lot of accidents. But the profit is great, that's right. Have to test it by myself first.

Entry #1
My old journal was accidentally destroyed after an experiment , so I am getting an replacement. Sumyunguy has just demanded me to build a temple, as the architect of the fortress, for the god Ral. Alright, he was a priest, I can understand why he would want a temple. But.. the Order of the divine bottle? Seriously? I told him I would work on it tomorrow, just so he stops annoying me. I'm quite busy, you know! Now where was I.. ah yes, designing a weapon of mass destruction that would destroy the world.
edit: just so you know, i suck at journals
Post by: peregarrett on December 03, 2013, 04:53:57 am
Dear diary.
Sumyunguy (that's a name, actually) have found a strange bottle that have popped out of magma. With a message from Exodius about him being cleared from all suspects. Now he insists on this bottle being a Divine Message from Ral and demands a special structure to be built. A temple or something.
The message was true, by the way. I wonder if it's possible to sent letters or even goods by this way... I need a few magma-safe tight closed pots to do the experiments.
Got to got to the stockpiles and be busy throwing them into volcano, bye, diary.
Post by: WoobMonkey on December 03, 2013, 05:10:39 am
Temples, bottles, magma... these dwarfs have no concept of legal proceedings. Did anyone bother filling out form A-14832(i) 'Application for permit to build a pointlessly large monument', or form M-3(a), 'Application to use Magma as a means of communications transfer?
No, and no.
These scofflaws must be taught the consequences of anarchy. My hammer awaits.
Post by: FireCrazy on December 03, 2013, 05:38:58 am
Entry #2
So, Woobmonkey has written a complaint, conveniently in the dining room where everyone can see it, clearly. I actually agree with him, just on the part that it is a pointlessly large monument. However, I should research into methods using the magma as a means of communication transfer, that seems like a very good idea. We could do that instead of using the caravan every time we want to send a message. I begin work immediately.

Dear diary.
Litheme has appointed me to sheriff. And she finally has come to my quarters that I was eager for very long. If not that bastard Flame who interrupted us! But must admit he had the reason.
Reason was a goblin siege, and in numbers that are far above our capabilities. We're locked down till we invent... something.
Dear diary.
We've negotiated with goblin leader. Actually they want to fight just because they want to fight. Maybe if we find some old brewed booze and throw outside, goblins will pacify a bit? That worked for horde that captured this place last time.
We had a hot debate on what to do. We found out one thing - debate never lead to anything. Expecially when most of debatants concentrated on their own idee-fixe.
But finally we agreed on catapulting them with a drawbridge. Test run worked fine, but I wonder how can we send flying whole siege.

My Litheme has died. No. She's been killed. Murdered in her own office! By a dwarf who claimed to be the liaison from The Mountainhome!
Flame killed the bastard. I feel so pity that I wasn't there... and so rage that Flame stole revenge from me!!! ARRGH!
I have to investigate this case. I don't know if I can trust somebody...
Red has presented me an artifact bow. Yes, I should take it and master it. It surely will help me if I find out the roots of this murder!

About Heroes I haven't played any of them in a looong time. I have the whole collection.
You don't really miss anything in IV since they destroy Erathia and pretty much the only survivors are Solmyr and Gavin Magnus. They put an end to his story too.

First: Two kobolds, unarmored, with a candy warhammer each and grand master skill in both fighting and warhammers. This experiment found that a Candy warhammer could, in fact, eventually be lethal.
Second: One kobold in full steel armor wielding a candy warhammer with grandmaster skill in fighting, warhammers, armor, dodging, and shields versus an unskilled, unarmed dwarf. It took a few minutes and 52 pages of combat, but eventually, the kobold killed a dwarf with a warhammer blow to the head. Interestingly, it would seem that at some point the kobold grabbed one of the dwarf's loose teeth and used it as a weapon, since she ended the battle with dabbling in misc. object using.
EDIT: There were other tests, but none of them really resulted in anything, nor were they particularly interesting, so I didn't post them.

Post by: peregarrett on December 24, 2013, 03:57:41 am
The bow is a truly magical thing. I think my job is to put arrow on it and shoot in right direction, and everything else is up to it. Magic!
I think I have a breakthrough in my investigation. We were under kobold siege, and after we locked down a child went berserk. He didn't kill anyone, but what if there's some kind of decease or miasma that turns a sane dwarf into berserk? When the fort is open it dilutes, but when it's closed - in concentrates and bursts out on someone. Maybe that's goblins who bring it? Or kobolds? Or someone else?

On another note, the sheriff Gar is quite the character. He now uses a bow, a weapon dwarves don't use often, and he's getting quite skilled with it. I'm sure he will be a worthy one.No! You don't dare to touch it! It's mine, my precious!
He was the lover of the previous Overseer, and since we haven't chosen the new one yet, I should talk to him about the recent sieges.
Now that I think of it, Gar's bow is quite unnatural... An artifact made just after his lover's murder... Could it be?
I will have to ask him to let me inspect that bow.
Ehm.. I mean, that's just a bow, though of exceptionaly quality. What do you expext to find there?

That's right. And do you know how could a dwarf, with no capability to make bows, suddenly make a magnificent bow for the dwarf protecting the fort who recently lost a lover to a killer?Ehm... I guess that was a strange mood. Any dwarf have chances to experience a strange mood.

Red have fallen from the stairs and broke his arm. That's too stupid to suspect someone's intervention, but Red insists that was an assasin.
The Danger Room is almost ready, and Sumyunguy wants to test it with the group of his adepts. I have to examine it before their test run.
Rasuk Id is warm and comfortable, and I didn't want to leave it alone for the night, so I got a habit to take it into my bed. And since that I do not have any nightmares anymore, I see Litheme instead! It was so sad to wake up alone...

You need to dig a water cistern and build a well. Then reroute the water and fill the cistern. That'll hold for the winter.

Yeah, but that is a secondary, for now at least, point.... Let me giv you a clue. Last time we saw KB he was in a Hospital... do you remember which year was that?
KB haven't had enough patience to stay under treatment and went to cut some elves out of boredom?
EDIT.
[Conspiracy theory mode ON] Elves are used as messengers for agents! Their trading caravans are just a cover!
That explains why they always come here after the previous group is killed. That's their work.
wait...
Remember Gar's vision? There are NO elves at all! Elves do not exist in this universe, they are just constructs devoted to the single goal - bring the secret message and die, of whatever reason - Flame's hammer, magma flooding, goblin ambush, or anything. Even when they leave I guess they drop dead just after they get far enough.

Also, I think I found a theme for Sunshine. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-lJZiqZaGA&feature=kp)
*giggles forever* Oh man that is fantastic. I've been a tiiiiiiish busy lately (Semester started and I've just been cleaning a lot. Surprisingly, that results in such things known as FLOORS. But oh god. I'm giggling forever now.

Hey guys, I have a question.... I could get the elven diplomat back in the game with DF Hack and cause a war with elves... I could also cause war with humans.... Should I? Our defenses are a tad bit stronger now...We shall have righteous and bloody war!!
Thank you. I thought that would fit Sunshine very, very well. Also, what is this "floor" thing you speak of? All I have are just piles of clothing and random crap I'm too lazy to clean up.Also, I think I found a theme for Sunshine. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-lJZiqZaGA&feature=kp)

By the way, did you intentionally avoid breaking into caverns or just had no need to open them yet?

The place looks very nice and dwarven! And yes, spoilers...
By the way, did you intentionally avoid breaking into caverns or just had no need to open them yet?
How about both? I usually break into caverns 'cause I need magma, this time I needed water but our military was too weak to survive that so I just conjured some up^^

Spoiler: Chapter XXIX (click to show/hide)
Few points:
1. I did not reread this, I am tired right now so please forgive me any hicups^^
2.Flame will explain what is soburd
3. The story will pick up after a time skip, i promise... I just need a short break from writing everything down, that's all
4. Flame may start a new thread based around this one.
5. Sorry for the lack of pictures in this, I really could not fit any more in without making it too long.
Post by: flame99 on February 08, 2014, 09:03:36 pm
You know how a drunkurd is constantly drunk? A soburd is constantly sober, and is clearly a massive insult in dwarf society. Also, I only now realized that drunkurd is misspelled.

We will come back to the story soonish, and as the new title may suggest it will be RIN-centric (so what else is new?). I do hope you are enjoying the story so far... If not, why are you still here^^

Don't get too excited, before the time skip i tried to make one a week, keyword: tried. Now it will be much worse, I have preordered Dark Souls 2 back in April Last year and I want to get as much out of it as possible on the opening weekend, sorry guys^^
DS 2 looks badass.
Although i'm still hooked on gta v.
Guess i will just have to use some of that one thing..... what is it?... oh yeah, patience.
Never was good with virtues.

Just a thing if people did not catch on... The lady from the chapter is not the Red Lady.. It's Her... Just in case...Gar thinks that she is, and since he never met any of them, that's ok.
It's really hard to gather all the figures in mind. Maybe I should draw an investigation chart or something... Do you have it, by the way, or you just develop the story in whatever way it goes? :D :D

Oh, I remember the concepts... But the only way I can mod is from a template so i was hoping for some reactions and objects I could copy+paste+slightly modify.... Could you post some in this thread? not much, just basics, like First Work, the Flux thingy and titanium, rest I think, I can do...
