Ubiq. What was the name of the Civ that was at the entrance? The Bronze Towers was the name of the mountains.

As a side-effect of regenning it in vanilla .06 versus the modded version I usually use, the local dwarven civ has moved to the southernmost tip of The Bronze Towers rather than taking up prime real estate in the Valley of the Dwarves.

Sh*t. Oh well. The thing still looks like this:

Question. Should I be able to fast travel, or should I walk everywhere?

I'd walk at least until you get your Observer skill high enough to avoid potential ambushes or animal attacks. I made an Adventurer just to look around a bit and ran right into a pack of twenty/thirty dingos.

Will have to wait turn, the point will be to build up a mini history of legends, so we can't have two people playing the map at once,

Orky! So did you get a version with a Dwarf Civ at the Valley finally?

So, is this going to end up as a yearly succession game? And if so, do you have the starting 7? Because if not I'd like to get in on this.

You seem to be under the impression that we're playing some game other than dwarf fortress. It doesn't matter how powerful you make a creature, we will find a way to destroy it. God is dead, and Urist killed him.

Interesting. I'll have to check this out. I tend to start early myself, but I'm too lazy to into advanced worldgen and set the starting year myself, so I usually settle for 5 years.

Starting seven will (according to plot) will be the first Seven Legendary Warriors who are making their way to the starting Mountainhome. Once the seven adventures have all made it, we will then found the true mountain home in the 'Valley of the Dwarves'

So far we have:
Orky_Boss, who has started up as the first Warrior.
Reudh
and Ubiq, if he wants one of the spots.
So currently there are four open spots for one of the starts Dwarves.  After that it would go to a normal yearly succession.

If you pick a spot, you will need to make sure you pick from the same civ (The Watchful Rags) as therest of. Orky posted a screen cap of it early on so you can see where all seven are heading.

I'll take a spot on the list of The First Adventurers. Let's make the Legends history a bit less barren!

9th of Malacite, 10

   Today is the day I set out on my journey. To be honest, I shivering, and now because it was cold or anything, in fact it was pretty warm. I shivered because this was the first time I'd travel away from my home, the mountains. True, I was on a pilgramige to another mountainhome, but the flat plains just seemed alien.

   Before setting out, I checked at the last minute if anyone felt like joining me in my adventure to 'The Watchful Rags', but only a lasher stood up. Well, at least the bogeymen wouldn't come after me.
   I'm not sure why, but I felt I needed to make the world a little safer in my pilgramige, and after checking me map, I was surprised to see a cave right in my way! I guess I could slay whatever hid in those dark caverns.

As we walked, we suddenly came across a river. I looked at the map to see if we could bypass it, but no dice.

Human Lasher: Uhh, you sure this is a good idea? I'm not really a swimmer...

Orky Firebolts: Stop being such an elf! You'll do fine. The current isn't even going that fast!

*A piece of balsa wood flashes by*

Human Lasher: Whatever you say...

Diving into the water, that water was faster than I expected, but I was more or less okay, although the same couldn't be said for the lasher. He simply floundered around a bit, then drowned. Not that he would've been that useful, since this was a pilgramige for Armok, not some tree-hugging elf god. In hindsight, I could've taken his armor, but as long as I stayed low, I wouldn't have to worry about getting hit.

After practicing my swimming for a bit, I came out of the water to see a group of rhinos. Luckily they hadn't spotted me, so I layed on the ground, aimed my bismuth bronze crossbow, and fired.

Hitting him in the front right leg, I smiled as the rhinosaurous looked around in confusion. Another shot, a third shot. The rhinosaurus came down, and I continued to fire at the beast, but the wriggling thing was much harder to hit than I thought. Eventually I thought "F*ck it." and got out of hiding, running up to the crippled rhinosauros and slashed the beast up with my copper dagger, deciding my crossbow wouldn't be a good melee weapon.

eventually the thing bled to death, and after butchering it for it's meat I covered some more ground before becoming drowsy during the night. I lit a campfire, layed down, and went to sleep.

All in all, it wasn't all that eventful of a day, and I hope tomorrow will be more fun.
