Just wanted to bump and tell you guys that this is a great story! The pace seems crazy reading through ~90 pages in a few days, but I look forward to more updates.

[WillowLuman]

These 90 pages accumulated over more than a year, actually.

[jaccarmac]

I realized that as I was reading. You guys are some patient players...

[Crossroads Inc.]

Yeah.. Patient... ((glares at Uggi)) 

[WillowLuman]

Uggi, do you want to have Crossroads finish up your turn maybe?

[Crossroads Inc.]

I offered to do so before, but he never responded :/

[uggi]

Been incredibly busy again, sorry. I've managed to play a bit now and then, will post an update later this weekend.

14th Galena 15

Ingish Sackshins, our talented animal trainer has been working with the giant tiger we bought from the elves. Today he proudly announced that the animal is fully trained to maul and eat any thieves trying to sneak inside. It'll be guarding the main hallway leading to the fortress.




15th Galena 15

Humans just arrived with multiple wagons. We quickly ran outside to escort them to the trading post. They were carrying loads of caged dogs and cats and some poultry. Again, no sight of goblins or kobolds anywhere. Any thieves will probably show up a few days later.




16th Galena 15

Meanwhile ...this is what the leatherworker produced.





Sigh. Yes, it's pretty. Yes, it's completely useless. What a fool.


20th Galena 15

And yet another beast shows up! I think they're ganging up on us. Well at least this one hasn't got wings. In fact it looks quite fragile. We'll try to lure this one into the trap that Malduz has been ignoring all year.




23rd Galena 15

As expected, kobold thieves were following the caravan. The unlucky kobold runs right into Tosid, one of the fortress guards, who immediately disables it with a few well-placed shots. Then Noface runs into scene and once again steals a kill.






26th Galena 15

Our mayor had a meeting with human's guild representive. I told him to order wood, silver bars, all sorts of silver ores and some fire clay from the humans. Oh, and more alpacas. They're magnificent creatures and we need more of them. Meanwhile, trading took place. We bought some metal bars, glass, wood and all sorts of animals, including the amazing alpaca.


15th Limestone 15

Utesh, the latest horror from the caverns finally found its way into the fortress. It toppled over the stone statue we were using as a bait and then ran through a corridor leading into the fortress. Both the rookie squad and fortress guards were awaiting for it.



The rookies were wetting themselves and thought they'd never make it out alive, or with all their limbs still attached. However, the battle was very short. Torrasque II from the fortress guard squad started and ended the battle with a single bolt.



Well, what could you expect from a giant snowman.

[WillowLuman]

Really, we could have avoided any damage if we just killed it when it showed up, instead of trying to trap it. A snow monster with no syndromes poses no threat to a squad.

Also, YAY UPDATE!

[uggi]

Really, we could have avoided any damage if we just killed it when it showed up, instead of trying to trap it. A snow monster with no syndromes poses no threat to a squad.

The trap was made for another forgotten beast, Malduz, which has wings, a shell and deadly blood. I was hoping to capture it alive and then feed it some goblins or kobolds if they'd ever show up, but it wandered off. It's still flying around somewhere, and shows up randomly. Then Utesh the snow monster appeared in the same cavern.

[WillowLuman]

I know we didn't build a trap for it, but we could have sent the squad out right away instead of waiting for it to trigger the trap. We might want to save that trap for something actually dangerous, as odds are a naked goblin prisoner would still have killed the snow monster.

Still, a statue was the only casualty, so it's hardly a failure. And more for the engraver to depict, instead of mountaineering.

[Crossroads Inc.]

Awesome work Uggi! Cannot wait for me! Soooo looking forward to when the town goes up and I can download the newest save to look at things

[Reudh]

Well, exams are coming up in the next month or so, but at least i'll have tonnes of spare time after that!

[WillowLuman]

Graduation is coming up, taken many of my finals, so I'll have vast amounts of spare time, punctuated by extremely busy days. By the time the save gets to me, though, it'll probably be summer.

[100Rads]

I've been reading the whole 90 pages through the last 4 days, and I must say that this is an awesome idea, starting at the dawn of time. Could I be dorfed as one of the marksdwarves? Name him Rads.
