Within the next two weeks, I should have time. :D

After exams are finished, that is.

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.

18th Limestone 15

Today a peasant called 'Rads' approached me and volunteered for fortress guard. He's got absolutely no marksdwarfing skills, we'll see how it goes. I told him to grab a crossbow and some wooden bolts and start practising.




24th Limestone 15

Found some freshly laid eggs in the chicken coop. Kromeus' pet chicken and someone's pet duck are both nesting. I gave strict orders not gather the eggs nor harass the birds. We'll let these ones to hatch and soon we'll have a real poultry industry.




26th Limestone 15

Our mayor and the human guild representive finally made a contract. This is what the humans want us to deliver next year, should be easy to deliver:



The guild representive left immediately and our squad escorted him safely outside.


8th Sandstone 15

The rest of the human caravan left. Everything went smoothly, no ambushes.


22nd Sandstone 15

Reudh was involved in a mining accident in the caverns. He fell into water and almost drowned. I told him to get outside to catch his breath and take a little break from mining.




1st Timber 15

On his long break Reudh wandered off into the mountains and then returned with a group of dwarves!





(note: he was the last of the adventurers to arrive, we've got them all now!)

One of the migrants has some experience in mining so he'll take Reudh's place in the caverns and Reudh will join the militia as a speardwarf. Another migrant is pretty good with hammers and will be recruited too. There's also a glassmaker, a spinner and an ex-trader in the bunch.


4th Timber 15

The miners had been stripping down the labyrinth of rock pillars in the caverns. The noise finally annoyed Malduz enough to lure it closer. While the miners ran inside to safety the beast started toppling over the many statues we had placed as a bait for it. Then it crawled inside a long corridor with drawbridges in each end and was successfully trapped inside.



The cavern is safe again! That is, until the next beast appears..


7th Timber 15

Endok, our bowyer, turned really weird today. Instead of making the usual feather wood crossbows, she's now dragging all sorts of things into her workshop.




12th Timber 15

This goes on a few days until she seems satisfied with the pile of junk she's gathered and starts building something.




13th Timber 15

One of the fortress guards saw an anaconda outside the fort walls and started shooting bolts at it, until the snake was out of range. I sent the rookie squad outside to finish the snake. Bhrian got there first and finished the snake with a single strike from his axe.




14th Timber 15

Only a moments later, a crowd of dwarven merchants arrives.




15th Timber 15

As the rookie squad is already outside, they'll be escorting the merchants. We're guarding the entrance and making sure the outpost liaison gets inside safely.



And then, a lone war dog sniffs out something. A squad of goblin bowmen! Luckily the merchants are already on the other side of the fortress and safe from their arrows.



More goblins could be hiding nearby. And as soon as I think of that, I hear a trap going off in the distance. We've got a live prisoner to interrogate, excellent.




16th Timber 15

Meanwhile, the bowyer snaps out of the strange daze she's been in the whole week. She seems suprised of her creation.





Well that's almost useful. Too bad she can't really remember how she did it.

17th Timber 15

Alerted by the war dog, we rush towards the corner of the fortress, to protect the caravan. A lonely bowgoblin peeks around the corner and shoots at a merchant riding the last wagon. The merchant gets an arrow in his stomach but manages to ride the wagon inside the fort walls. The goblin gets distracted by a war dog and a caravan guard starts beating the goblin with her flimsy silver short sword.



As we reach the corner and finish the lone goblin, we see the rest of the bowgoblin squad approaching from the right. Suddenly an arrow flies from the left. Another squad of bowgoblins appears from the bushes!



Then it all turns into a bloody chaos. Together with Noface we kill most of the bowgoblins from the left. Following Noface into a battle is like going through a rain of guts and limbs.







After the battle I count 12 dead goblins in the battlefield. I think one escaped to tell the tale. We lost a war dog and another one got badly injured.



Kromeus got his first kill and then was shot in the upper body through his steel breastplate. He broke some false ribs and needs another hospital visit. Another dwarf, Aban Bannerridle, from the rookie squad got shot as well but she's able to walk to the hospital by herself.





As you maybe noticed there's a red REC on the first screenshot. Here's a recording of the battle!

Aha, good to see Lord Reudh there! Looks like I haven't any new injuries, which is good, and no infections either.

By the way, uggi, i notice that one of the caravanners is sick? Did they get hit?

Yeah he got shot twice:



The rest of the battle report is about him vomiting, all 4 pages of it. I imagine him riding the wagon and vomiting all over the trade goods. There's a trail of vomit all the way to the trading post but for some reason it's not showing up.



We already have a few ex-traders living in the fortress. I wonder if Obok will come back as a migrant some day. That is, if he manages to get out of here alive. He had an arrow stuck in his body but I managed to get it pulled out.

If possible, I'd like to be dorfed as a Sword Dwarf. I'd prefer one who has a beard in double braids, but if ya don't feel like looking around for that it's fine.
