Normal Updates or Breach adamantine without caution or preparation?

No, I want to see the fort cave in on itself naturally (may be a little boring but the fortress goes on longer.)

-INTRODUCTION-

-The following is an excerpt taken from the journal of one Splint Unitefences, a Caravan Guard.-

25th Timber, 225

Heading out today, as per the norm when visiting Dyansauri settlements. No more than a month peddling what we have, except the coal we're shipping out to the human capital. The lizards were willing to pay triple for the coal, but Boss Zacen says that's not our call. The humans' monarch already paid in advance for the shipment.

5th Moonstone, 225

Stopped in at another lizard town to get some supplies. Can barely understand them, but they keep their turf clear of bandits for the most part. Gonna be setting out tomorrow morning.

24th Obsidian, 225

Fucking violet xelics. The fucking things show no respect to their kin, much less us... They jumped us on the way out of Dyansauri territory.

There were so many... They jumped us while we were with a few of the silver xelics, took out the lead xelic and one of the assistant caravan masters almost right away and it went pear-shaped from there... Someone let the cave crabs we were taking to Salvisila to some wealthy buyer there loose, three wagons got toppled during the initial onrush of purplish colored warbugs, Logem took two before a third got him from behind, Tholtig took out six before going down to wounds... Then there was that big bastard. Vutok, Riis, Kulum, and Urist, killed all of them... Crushed a beetle and a crab too along with a xelic that took a swipe at him with a dagger.

Our caravan was 42 strong, not counting a few of the kids some of the merchants brought along, trying to get them to learn the family trade and such. Dunno what happened to them, but now there's seven of us total, at least that got out with this wagon, counting myself. Thor, Firecrazy, and I are the only guards that got away. Didn't kill any, but we hurt a few. And Thor didn't so much get away as get dragged out of the fight by one of the crabs. They weren't kidding about them being protective of us. Dropped his warhammer though so all he has is his work hammer to fight with now. No matter.

There's a cave up ahead that Zacen wants to use for shelter; there's storm clouds ahead and frankly I'm inclined to agree to a little shelter.




Welcome dear travelers of the Bay12 boards, to Ozkakurrith, Carryscar, a Civilization Forge community fortress. We are the survivors of the Autumn Axe caravan company, lost between friendly lands in the shadow of a cave in a somewhat hot savanna/woodland. I will do my utmost to create a good tale for you all to enjoy, and I would love it if you guys would help me, because it's you fine folks who help make this stuff fun! Or, y'know, !!FUN!!, whichever, since I'll regularly post polls that you guys will use to dictate what we do next, which could easily result in deaths or injuries!

Now, as you may have noticed I, being the genius I am, forgot to grab a pic of the embark location. We're somewhere between either two Dyansauri settlements or a Dyansauri and some other race's town. I did however, remember to get a shot of our embark gear.

Spoiler:  For the curious (click to show/hide)

We have chalk on site, and our cave is made of the stuff. We have a brook, a moderate amount of wood, and a will to survive. And survive we shall.

Sorry about the wonky/substandard into, I'll touch it up later.

I'm quite happy to see some community involvement from the first update! This is a far cry from my past community games which often got little to no input from others aside from the occasional idle chatter. So thank you guys!

My recent games have given me a taste for the forlorn hope style of fort, so I'd like to see a reanimating biome or a cave from which the deep things may crawl to attack, possibly both.

I think journal entries are more immersive so they get my vote.

If my suggestions are taken up then a doctor may be helpful early on.

Storywise I'd suggest that the fort was founded to serve as a way to cull and contain the dangers around it (be they undead or cave beasts, or undead cave beasts.) This also leads on to a name, maybe Deathhalls or something similar. Although I would also find an ironic name most droll. Happyflowers perhaps.

There once was a dwarf in a cave,
who many would consider brave.
With a head like a block
he went out for a sock,
his ass I won't bother to save.

Glad to have your input. Would you like to claim a dwarf while you're here?

I vote for a hot jungle biome... just because I've never personally done it, and it sounds kinda... *ahem*... cool.


For a motive, I'd say a disgruntled group of traders and craftsdwarfs that want to carve out their own trading post and get rich.  Getting rich is a pretty simple yet pure motive. :D



I would like to claim the miner (gender doesn't matter) and name him/her Onion, if I could.

Given how Spearbreakers went, I look forward to this...

May I be dwarfed as "Talonis Wolf, Wolf Acolyte"?

Mechanic or Mason, unless Civilization Forge has a religion type profession, if you please.

May blood be shed, and moods turn into disaster!  :P

I'm sure there will be much bloodshed. Bugbears and goblins will see to that.

I'll take the hunter/marksdwarf/butcher? Or all 3. Depends on what type of conditions we have.  I'll vote for the jungle and the forest.
I vote journal entries, and, we could be a military outpost in response to the goblin threat or something.

I voted temperate forest, Tagia and Tundra. The wildlife get pretty cool there if you're lucky. I'll take a dorf but no turn (busy with much after all).


Let there be a smith/emergency hammerdorf! Name him Thor, because he will be the savior of the fortress by giving everyone armor and shit 8)
EDIT:
Call us the Splint of Dwarves as a group and name the fortress "Splint <insert biome>"

And make my guy's custom profession be known as "Anvil Lord"

I'd like to take part in this community-driven recreational fortress succession. I'd like to be dwarfed as "Gnorm" the mason and stone crafter. His custom profession should be "Stonelord." In the case that no male dwarves are available, "Gnora the Stonelady" is acceptable.

As for the group and fortress name, be must be the "Wet Dwarves," founders of the great fotress "Applehalls!"

I'd love a dwarf.  "Grimmash" for the name.  Not too particular on the labors, although some sort of metalsmith would be cool, preferably armor or weapon.  Give me what the starters need, and I'll build the backstory from the character bio.  Or tell me what you give him and I'll go from there.
