DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: What's going on in your fort?
« on: July 15, 2014, 03:21:35 pm »
Across the forest, a rumbling, churning sound can be heard. The first in years, breaking the silence of the woods and mountain. Giant kea flee from the advance of this strange pair of beasts drawn by four other beasts.
The first caravan of Frenzysilvers has arrived!
Our hard times have ended, a liaison follows close behind. 3 years have passed, with only the seven starting dwarves present. The fort has been barely scraping by on the materials at hand, plump helmets and a few scrounged plants from what grew inside our walls making up our diet. With zombies and necromancers at our doorstep every single season, it has been a challenge to not go insane from staring at the low walls making up our line of defense. Migrants have been too afraid to risk the journey, and now we may finally have a chance at welcoming more citizens into our gates.
4 axedwarves train constantly, and have made a stunning improvement over the Years of Isolation. Each one was once weak, and now is a force to be reckoned with. They need more experience fighting actual enemies and not kea or kea people, or zombies for that matter.
Our meager supply of kea bone crafts, used clothing (some with the stench of rot still lingering) will have to suffice for now, for it is all we can offer for meat, cheese, fish, and drinks that we desperately need. Our armorsmith, Onul, is in discussions with the liaison in between hauling items to the depot for trading. We requested breeding pairs of turkeys, assorted plants we can't find ourselves, seeds for underground crops, and a few other optional items like iron, pig iron and steel to help boost our supply.
The three of us civilians with no military skills are wearing bronze armor, and have crossbows made from local wood. Our quivers are made from the hides of the giant kea that plague us, and the bolts inside our quivers are also made from the pesky kea menace. We have to be thankful for them, though. The kea have given us food, and the few blocks and items they have made off with are a small sacrifice to give them for keeping us alive long enough to see this caravan.
