Yeah, you barely missed it dermonster. However, i've already started, none of the equipment melted, and i have plenty of screens which i am uploading to photobucket. So, first story post is tomorrow.

Oh shit, i screwed up bad.
Apon embark, all the omnicine items turned to molten sludge. Apparently DF does not accept melting/boiling temps above 50k. So a new embark site will be found, with similar features. In a new land. Oh well. and Malle, we already have a clerk noble(See: my character)

Ananidor is on our list.

Lupus: I sorta don't want to bring more cats, to avoid possible catsplosion. We really only need one.

Mathjis: On the picks, of course they're expensive, they're made out of the last existing metal(next to adamantine) on the planet.

I think this is a stupid idea. It would only make the sieges harder in the beginning of the game, and it would raise the difficulty of tundra/glacier/rocky wasteland areas way too high.

It is the ninety-first year of this world...and already, it has lead itself to doom.

Many years prior, a great war occured. It engulfed every civilization known, and it even lead to an army of Kobolds rising from their caves. During one of the major battles, a foolish dwarf attempted to remove an ancient and valuable adamantine door. Contained within was a passage to the heavens, which was instantly defiled by the dwarf's greed, and pride. As punishment for defiling the home of the gods, all known metal was removed from the earth.Many dwarven smiths and furnace operators began to experiment with common stones, but with no results.

But last year, a new metal was discovered. It was lighter and tougher than steel, and extremely resistant to heat(More so than adamantine, and more common too!) So now, an expedition has been gathered. They are to build a fortress apon the largest deposit of this new ore. Trapped between a wall of mountains and a goblin fortress, here is where they stand. Here is where they strike the earth!

'Aroth' Inodonul's log, Day -1, Pre-embark.

I have been given a rare opportunity. The king has personally requested that i lead the expedition to
Uthirnil, "Searedhammers", in search of one of the largest Omnicine deposits. There are six others who haven't yet introduced themselves, but i'm sure we'll get along just fine...
The nobles have provided us with some expensive omnicine equipment, and i sold one of the axes so that we could spend the money on more useful things.
I should probably ask the others what they would like to bring along, since we have so much extra cash.

I hope this one goes well, spent some time modding metals and ores and such.

the "strange moods" in DF are a little bit better for some "tech projects"

Urist cancels Store Item in Stockpile: Divine Intervention.

Would be pretty funny, and to think of what a noble would say when he discovered this.

Mcnoble:A giant crossbow that fires giant bolts? Let it be known that I, Tekkud Mcnoble, have invented the Ballista!

Mcinventor:But sir, I-

Mcnoble:Silence! Five hundred hammerings!

Mcinventor:YEAARRRGGHH-*splat*

Little question, were i to add [SHARP] to a stone, would it require a regen?
