Apiks' Journals1st of Granite, 251 Just like my husband from the last age of Necrothreat, I will be this Necrothreat's first overseer. I will quickly have to establish ourselves in these lands. From what I can see, there are SAND mountains again. I hope atleast there aren't any aquifers here. My husband had many problems with them which cost him a lot of time and a forumite. Other than that there is just a river and a few lakes here and there close to the river. The land seems good for settling.
Well then. First thing's first. I shall start mining into the mountains to create a hub for us to evolve into. Meanwhile BFEL will gather us some wood and the rest will be set upon gathering herbs and berries for our extended survival. All of this shall be in the memory of my husband Apiks! This is what he would've wanted and I will make sure it is seen complete.
2nd of Granite What? There are no berries in these lands? Curses! This might prove disastrious. We have to find a second source of food A S A P.
4th of Granite A squad has been formed under the leadership of Highmax28. It currently consists of only him but I suspect it will grow larger as more people come streaming in just like James said.
10th of Granite Yes! Our storage room has been completed and supplies are being taken in. This couldn't have been done without.. I regret saying this... NAV's help when he picked up a pick and started mining. It seems hauling just ain't fitting his job description he said. Pfh. Show off. Anyway, we have started work on digging deeper with hopes of reaching stone.
13th of Granite I have relieved myself of hauling duty so that I can concentrate on plans and mining the rest of the fortress which takes priority over quantiy in hauling. I have also temporary excused NAV in hauling until he builds the stairs going downwards into the depths of the earth and potentially building other buildings that we have need of.
16th of Granite Success! We have managed to hit limonite and jet. This means that for the moment we have a stable supply of stone and no aquifer to defy us! This is the first step to greatness. I have begun mining a large quantity in it with hopes of managing to create proper accomodations for all of us. Armok knows that we all have strained backs because of everything that has happenedf with us recently.
I have also ordered a farm plot to be built since we will need the food due to the low amount of cherry bushes that are nearby which account to well... zero. This farm plot will help us in our exploits a great deal I sense.
17th of Granite Today Mastahcheese came to me and told me that to build a farm plot we need someone with knowledge of farming. I asked him what sort of a joke this is and he made a counter joke to me. Making jokes with my jokes, eh? Well after that I made HIM the lead farmer so that he can build his farming plot. I hope we get better farmers soon. I wouldn't want to be eating stuff from his farms soon.
24th of Granite Workshops have begun to be built per my order. This is most excellent due to the need of furniture that we have at the moment. I WILL make sure this fort succeeds even if it costs me my life. There's probably more lives than just mine at stake.
1st of Slate We have managed to survive the first month. This is most excellent. I have ordered some restraints to be built at the fortress' entrance to put off any intruders we might have of small caliber. Everything at the moment is going according to plan. Workshops are being built, the farms are completed and being populated with crops. Only complaints so far is that we have too little storage space. I will have to address that this month. I have added traffic paths so that we can be a little better organised. Organisation at it's finest! Also I think that BFEL is abusing his powers a little. He recently threatened me to hurry up. The fool! We have plenty of time. If only my efficient husband was here...
8th of Slate Curses! Rats have manifested themselves. We will have to move our food stock to a separate storage room soon. Very soon at that! Doors are also being placed all throughout the fortress at my order as well.
11 of Felsite It is completed! The new storage room is done. Now lets see those rats get in. This is the beggining of the expansion and accomodations of Necrothreat as we know it. It is most excellent. Everybody seems happy at the moment which is somewhat weird considering that we have to sleep on the floor. But that matters little! I am happy!
21st of Felsite Our farm has begun to ripe! This means that we have begun getting food. This is very good. We will not starve. I am sure the others will be delighted to hear of this. We still have not gotten any of these people that seek refuge that James mentioned but I do not fear. They will come soon enough. I also have given orders to begun making a place for the future traders that might come to us.
27th of Felsite The kitchen has almost been completed! Finally mastahcheese can get to cooking in a quality kitchen. He will rejoice when I tell him these news, I am sure. Everything has been quite quiet these days. I worry. It's never been so quiet, even in the old Necrothreat. But does it matter? This means that we finally can reap the benefits of the good days!
20th of Hematite The Trade Depot has been completed! This means we can start getting traders now. This is most excellent as we are in need of supplies.
22nd of Hematite They have arrived! Migrants have arrived. Much needed hands have arrived. This is most excellent! This will boost our productivity great deal! I will have to inspect to see what each is good at and place them at work. Hurrah! They amount to the total of...
two? WHAT? ONLY FOUR HANDS HAVE COME TO AID US? BLOOD AND ASHES! I must keep calm. What if my husband was to see me now? Well nevermind. I have asked the names of these new bloods and they tell me that their names are Jables and Splint respectively. Jables tells me that she is good with range whilst Splint is good with whatever we put him at work. Both have been initiated into the militia led by Highmax28. It seems that they are married which means that they have good cooperation.
I hope we can survive the winter at this rate... I hope the merchants bring good much needed supplies... I hope we even last more than last time.
I have ordered more farm plots to be built as well.
15th of Malachite I have told Jables to begin cutting gems at our newly constructed workshop area so that we have something to sell when the traders come. Everything uptill now is normal. No enemies, no accidents, no nothing. It worries me but we shall make use of it. I have also ordered the making of a dining room for us.
25th of Malachite I have ordered the making of a room for the military to stay in. It will be on the 4th floor bottom so that it can reach the first floor quickly.
2nd of Galena I have started giving out titles to everybody today. The current ranks are the following:
8th of Galena I have ordered the makings of our rooms so that we can finally have a place to sleep and not on the ground as we have done all of these months. They are right below where the military rooms are.
21st of Galena Somebody today told me that if any traders come, they will not be able to pass! When I gave it a closer inspection I confirmed. This is disastrious! As such I have ordered for it to be immediately fixed.
5th of Limestone It would seem that our dog that have been posted to defend the entrance of the fort have given birth to a puppy! This is wonderful news! Awww look at it so cutely looking into my eyes. I sense that he shall become a great fighter and champion of the fort!
15th of Limestone Everything of stone attribute on the 4th floor is to be put in the dumpster. I issued that order today. We will be busy for quite some time. Accomodations are almost done. Our carpenter refuses to work for unknown to me reasons so I let him be. "Break time." he says. Humph.
I am still alive. Holidays did keep me quite busy. My turn will be finished by tomorrow is my hope since I delayed it for so long. Here's a massive update. Good to see you back BFEL. Hope you will stay with us this time.
