So you killed us all? Good job urist mcwinner!

Meh, I died first if that makes you feel better (but I redwarfed myself) anyways here's the update starting in the year 9 (when the fortress was reclaimed)

Early Spring

Well we've arrived, word had it Armorsouls had recently been abandoned and so me and 6 fellow dwarfs have decided to claim it before anybody else gets their hands on it... As it appears though we were beaten to the chase, strange two headed creatures loiter in the corridors with goblins, tigermen and an assortment of other beasties, each stares at us as we walk past, hope they don't mind sharing.

Well the corridors sure are confusing, with parts of the fortress being hurriedly sealed of but once you know the way its pretty simple, as expedition leader I gave the group some orders:

• Move things to the work area
• Build some bridges to barricade the fortress during sieges
• Whatever you can do to be useful

Whilst they carried out my orders I figured it would be an idea to train my combat skills should any bad fortune befall us and so I went to the surface and caught sight of numerous badgers wandering the flat landscape

Mid Summer
Well good news and bad news, the good news is that after 4 straight months of strangling badgers and hacking at them with a sword I'm a pretty skilled fighter. The bad news is that the others think I've been wasting their time and are forcing me to step down as overseer, ah shucks

This concludes the rather short journal BUT I also put together a tour of the fortress and all the things I've done:

Alright, you start at the surface [F1]



As you make your way around the maze you try and sneak through a gap in the wall and go down the stairs though half the fortress is sealed of so you return to the surface and after following the maze find a ramp leading down to another maze. [F2]



You then go up the stairs in the top left corner and end up in a massive work area [F3] where levers to some bridges sealing parts of the fortress can be found, pressing "Shift+N" shows what they do.



You then go down another staircase which leads to the caverns where 9 levels have been carved out among the pillars (each 3 Zs high)





Most are empty though 4 of the 9 levels lead of to parts of the fortress, first is a mining operation of tin.



Then bedrooms [F4]



Then a dining hall [F5]



And a barracks combined with a hospital [F6]



As you go deeper you pass another mining operation for copper (copper and tin, the two metals excavated combine to make bronze which is almost but not quite as good as iron which isn't present) and then finally end up in a magma forging area [F7]



EDIT: Forgot to upload the save here it is:

THE SAVE

Noah, now that Kytuzian survived torture method isn't one of the parts of it that if you live you are set free?

("this one includes a 94% chance of death about 4 or 5 hours in and if you survive for 10 hours we bring you to the healer where you will be healed then set free, well whats left of you that is still attached to your head will be set free." Quote by Noahtophatz)

Taken from wiki, mostly just saying this as Kytuzian can't really do much whilst imprisoned so it probably makes the game a bit boring for him.

Anyways good luck with the play Iiteum!

EDIT: Hmm... being blind and having an arm missing does make talking to nobles intresting 

((I thought everybody just clicked show ne w replies to your posts nowadays? Much easier than bumping))

"Aye, I accept... so just how long 'till these ships are rebuilt? I'd imagine it taking a while before I can set of, anything you'd have me do in the meantime?"

Little from looks its about a thousand US.

Also is there a spot up for a new character?

I think the manskinner was looking for somebody to play an assistant... the Manskinner is currently in the process of uniting the Weylands which is a barbaric place where half the clans are at war with each other and have names like McKinley, McJhonston, so Celtic England/Germany or moving forwards in time Scotland about 400-600 years ago.

Mi Lord if these are such dark times times would you not fell safer with another trained soldier by you side?
I do not ask mush only a bed and food and a few shillings a week.

Did you just call one of the most barbaric chieftans around "mi lord"?

EDIT: Also I'm editing out the bit about knowing about the assassination attempt, just figured it'd be common knowledge what with all the guards and people watching

And thus the Doctor is slain. At least I went out fighting.
Would it be okay if I created a new character in a couple days? I'm planning on a viking type character or something.

Would you be another Weylander then? Or from Korlan... quite a vikingy place I think
