It has been one year, and it seems there is no thaw. As I had feared, we must dig into the earth and find water. Maybe with the stone from the tunneling we can build stronger walls then these wooden ones, I have no idea how the dwarves can brave the danger of the deeps. Must be from all the booze they consume, and my fear is we will die if we must live off booze for another year. Two more of the locals have came here seeking safety from the undead, strange I had thought there would be news of goblins. But if they undead are in a large numbers in the area this does not bode well, I hope Seto can train up the lesser knights and new comers so we have a chance. Hopefully we can begin a forge soon and make some weapons, and assign a quartermaster so that all civilians have some form of weaponry to defend themselves, at least long enough for use to assist.
Outpost thusfar

A Barracks must be built for our warriors, and when the human traders came one of the merchants was a wizard. I asked him about Booze poisoning, he told me that Ratweed helps absorb and nullify the effects of booze. So I ordered special plots to grow Ratweed, and everyone has some at least once a day. Of course Anderz has Ratweed more then three times a day as he puts Dwarven Beer away like water, I fear for his health and his love for strong dwarven booze.

It appears that Anders and Imi have become more then just friends, I had always assumed such. But both are warriors, and a warrior's duty is to live and die in the service of others. I do not feel these emotions that humans feel, I am a simple servant here to protect them and I have done so since the world began. The merchants have come and gone, we traded for shields, metal bars, food, and booze. We have a steady supply of Ratweed so we should be safe, It seems the more mind muddling effects of Ratweed only happen when it is burned and inhaled.
Set up a quarry, I hope to get some stone dug up to build the enterance to the Tunnel. Only something as sturdy as stone can hold back the beasts from the deep.
OOC: Don't know if I can add Dwarves because friendship in Dfusion craps out. I will try once dwarves acaully come but if it craps out even then I'll have to abort the idea. Found quite a few bugs and unfinished features already (one was a reaction, hopefully I fixed it. and the other was graphical and it F**k'd with my mind)
Oh and Ansontan you basically own Imi because she is basically Anderz wife.
Kar Lanterndents, Female Farmer. Highmaster Bonecarver. Tough, but Slow to Heal, and Really Quick to Tire.
...Human me as her. Name her Kara Seena, and make her her own squad, equipped with as much self-made decorated bone and whoever-made preferably-bone-decorated iron armor as possible. Training straight through winter with a preferably-bone-decorated iron dagger and a preferably bone-decorated iron shield.
It's for Zen, not for actual combat, though. As in, only activate her as a last resort.
Will bio after seeing age and personality.
Her Details(http://img.ie/a9cb9.png)
And I will try my best to decorate her stuff the best I can, and I can make her own squad or I can jam her into the quartermaster's armed civilain force (squad of 200)
If you like Her weaknesses can be ironed out by killing dangerous animals (2 = 1 notable kill) and notable kills as this gives your human 10 advancement points. And enough notable kills will allow you to mandate something, anything. (just as long as it is resonable and not fortress ending)
And after taking the screenshot I Named her. I Might or might not post a update, but I will say again I will try and get her custom iron armor (so far all I got is cave croc bones and giant and normal capybara bones) If you do want her to kill some critters/baddies so you can ask for her own house and better stuff, I can put her in Seto's squad for training before teh field tests.
I will leave her to self training once I get my hands on a dagger.
Human me as a male warrior. Dont care who, but I'd like to be a swordsman, and a good one at that. Use my username.
Other than that, I think I'll keep my personal info to myself.
I gave you Atek here is his details:(http://img.ie/23a94.png)
1st of Sandstone.
As I was walking to see how much granite Kem and Gustem had dug up for the construction of the tunnel enterance, I over heard Seto talking with Anderz about Kar seems she has started going by the name of Kara Seena. Why I do not know before I could say a word to Kem about the stone Atek interupted me before my lips formed anything "Osmos I want to be a great knight like you, I know I'm only a lesser knight but now that we have more lives to protect. Well I just don't want to let anyone die."
"This is a noble cause Atek."
"Xenir, call me Xenir."
"Xenir? I am curious, why do you wish to be called another name?"
"My own personal reasons... I just do, Xenir sounds more heroic then Atek."
"Very well Xenir, I will have Kem set up some training swords. As well forge a steel longsword."
"Thank you, I won't let you down"
Xenir ran off to Seto, probally to tell him he will be under my charge until he is done his training. Why is everyone changing their names? My name was changed apon the King's request, a noble reason. Never mind "Kem!"
"What?"
"How goes the granite?"
"'Ight I guess, not much to it. Only problem is the shovels break or the carts."
"Shovels? You are digging stone."
"No. We are digging dirt to find the stone, we then cart it out of the quarry for our use."
"Interesting, also have two training swords made up. And a Steel Longsword, maybe some armor too."
"Very well Osmos."
"Good"
three weeks later
"Ah Kem you finally got those training swords done, how's the sword and armor coming."
"They are coming."
"Ah, good Xenir! Here take this." throwing the pine sword at him he caught it deftly "Meet me by the fields.
Standing at the narrow ledge that is between the two fields I readied the training sword "Come, attack me as you would with a goblin."
I charged at Osmos swinging, he deftly stepped aside and slashed at me. I jumped and found that there was no ground and fell to the field, getting covered in mud "Come now, you fight like a green." climbing back up I swung again only for Osmos to jump away, he attacked and I dodged it and countered slapping his left gauntlet with the flat of the blade "HA!" only to get smacked in the face with his sword sending me into the fields again. "Don't be proud of a glancing blow, be proud when the foe is dead and there are no more to fight." charging Osmos and slashing which he moved again but I expected this and tackled him taking him down, swinging again he rolled away and whacked me in the shin. I quickly turned and swoung without looking and hit his two hander stuck in the ground, Osmos quickly smacked my arm making me drop my sword "You are dead, look before you strike and know your surroundings. You never know when the enviroment can get in your way, but it can also help you too. Pick up your sword, there is still lots of light."
EDIT:
A Wizard and his company arrived, his lab had been invaded by zombies. I had asked him how they got in, he said that he let them in. But that they won't be walking out, with a huge grin on his face. He then said that acid was a wonderful thing, and then walked into the small housing unit for a meal. After that half of the tunnel was built, when Gustem and Dothan walked to the archway and annonced they were eloping. Hope they have many strong children.
From the journal of Xenir,
Two fights already. Managed to kill four. Two zombies, two of those little gremlin things. I hear we lost Tadin, I didn't know him very much, but it seems he was well liked. I'm continuing to train with Osmos, but there's a lack of support for the guy, which is a shame, because he is a good warrior.
Ah well, back to... whatever it is I do when I'm not training. Maybe I'll take a walk...
Point's to allocate huh? Lets put some points on strength, healing, and disease resistance. Put the rest on agility; can never have too much of that.
Another premature baby brought on by the zombie horde.

Oh, yeah. We killed that siege and sent 'em home running! Those we didn't kill, at least! BAHAHAHA!
Oh, and it seems my lovely friend who is the head broker just got us a lot of food, weapons, cages, barrels, and gemstones. We're set for this upcoming year! SO stoked right now!
KILLING IS AWESOME!
