I'd be appreciative of being humaned. A Mechanic, for preference, or a Jeweler otherwise.
Well, do you want our free Blacksmith? He's pretty good at mechanisms by now, though he's in line to join the Smith's Guild. Or, I can recruit a peon from our ranks or migrants.

If the blacksmith is open, I'll take it! Thank you.

Thanks. I can't wait for his background!

Ok, he's yours! I look forward to everyone's journals.

Idil's journal - winter, year 6

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
While the civilians traded with the stumpies, I and my fellow warriors had a hunting session.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
One of the birds was captured. Meph says it isn't trainable; pity. The rivers froze for a week or two, but we had alcohol. Kawe decided to build a Trader's Guild and the civilians began to move the equipment below ground, to protect from wandering thieves.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Also, what weirdo made sushi?!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Kawe joined the Guild apparently. It must have been some initiation, because I found him later wandering about wearing only a shoe.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
15 Dark Stranglers came whooping over the horizon! I ordered the gates closed; but the hostiles began moving around the fort to attack a Fisherman! We were forced to engage. 14 hostiles were forcibly neutralised - one escaped. No human wounds, but some dogs were injured:

The one that got away - ha! Statues were commissioned to celebrate the event. Iguk killed four, his first kills. That fool Ivan was late (OOC: sorry cheese!), and killed none.

That is extremely strange. My dwarf shares many physical and mental attributes with my IRL self. Including hating almost everyone he meets and spending more time with his dogs then other people. Interesting? If only my beard and stache were long enough to be braided and if my hair was long enough for a pony tail I would actually be Ivan great job selecting my "Human".  ;D

Its not that he hates everyone, its that he was almost instantly conscripted and sparring doesn't count as talking time. Sadly. So, you're really strong?

Must admit, he is HIDEOUS - he has bulging, far-set eyes and a hooked nose. He looks like a troll, to be honest.

From the diary of Kawe, spring of year 7

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Well, Meph's continued to work on that Giant Hedgehog; he's compling all of his data, he claims.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
How did that feline achieve this feat when we have no male? One can only assume the traders brought a male, and though confined, it achieved its goals.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
That man's bite is terrifyingly strong, though I would never admit it. The vile apes struck me in the chest with... excrement.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
In the mean time, something released the emu, and the militia struck it down near the north gate. Those statues are slathered in blood now. Also, at our smiths' insistence, a Smith's Guild was built.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Idil's skill in Fightingg is prodigious enough to be noted in our legends - he has chosen an odd honorific name.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Iguk has elevated himself to the skill of a Royal Bladman. Impressive, though he's still a blade monkey to me.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Ye gods! The Dark Stranglers are back!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
30 or so, in two squads, each headed by an Elite Wrestler. Our militia headed out to obliterate and rout them.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Our *whisper* brave boys.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The Elite Wrestler of this squad went down in a single stroke.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
He is strong. Interesting.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Heavens! The second squad are approaching our undefended north gate!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The north gate and Trade Depot have received a baptism of blood. However, a pox on those fools! Four or so Stranglers entered the fortress and chased us and all livestock out the front gate! Fortunately, they were too frightened to pay us attention.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Sadly, one of the worse hurt war dogs has died. I believe she attacked the Peregrine.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Iguk now has a name. We also have a captured Strangler, in the trap I ordered constructed over the river!

Riveting story so far. Could I be humanised? In order of preference: Iguk, a squad Sergeant, a trainee soldier or weaponsmith if there's one available. Failing that, any lowly peasant will do.

S'ok - now looking at it, I realize that there are a LOT of pictures in that update.

Iguk is fine! You can be the other sword monkey.  :P

The next update will be delayed, due to another community fort I haven't posted yet and D&D shennanigans.

From the diary of Idil, summer of year 7

Ha ha, those foolish stranglers! The Cruelty of Blots had better not mess with us again!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Ecsha is digging a tunnel to the river; thank goodness - my waterskin is full of mud.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Ivan now has a title. All of us now.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Gasom has joined the smith's guild. Good for him I suppose; we warriors don't have to bother with their internal politics.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
There was a gushing below; the pool was breached.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Gods almighty, miasma! Kawe has been letting this place go.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Hmp. No recruits.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
A memorial to the strangler siege. They died like heroes.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Bedrooms, finally.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The traders are here.

Damn! Some fool released the wrestler when ordered to transport him to the Depot! (OOC: I COMPLETELY forgot this glitch...)

The next update has been delayed due to internet troubles. Castlemarkets is in a rough spot.  ::)
