Damn this game! Can't I just have a peaceful, no tears, no blood-spilled summer?

p.s. ooc: I swear this summer season is purely an emerging story and I need to spend some time to draft, the works.

Book IV

Chapter 21 (Stubborn Doren)

A note, "I am releasing my journals for the Summer of 240 for the upcoming defense." -- Sanctume

1st Hematite, 240

I am touring the animal pens when I met Doren Uristkonos on the way to spin thread. 

He is hobbling because his left foot is gone.   

He is a pleasant dwarf, and looks to be quite industrious. 

I told him that I will order gold crutch at the forge for him and to check with doctor May about it. 

He looked doubtful, but smiled his farewell.

The next day, the Planter ‘Bearskie’ Abagbomrek has organized a party at willow table. 

I chose to spend my time sparring instead.

The next day after, a baby has grown into childhood.

On the 4th, Vortex Tunlerteth, militia captain has bestowed the name Custith Thalal upon a iron battle axe.  Then we sparred.

A few days later, Duke Gwolfski Uristirtir has mandated the construction of 2 millstones.

Then a couple days after that Mayor Quasar has mandated export of bolts prohibited

It was the 8th of Hematite, because I quite remember, As Vucarstinthan, Cook has slipped into depression

She is my adult daughter with her own husband and kids.

The on the 9th Hematite, Mebzuth Kerkol, Fisherdwarf has slipped into depression

What is going on in Breadbowl?

Speaking of the devil, A elven diplomat, Athe Nawaracani, from Lenicamela has arrived.

I escorted the elf down to the duke’s office.  Long story short, the elves want to cap our tree cutting to 100 until next year, and the duke grants this request.

12th Hematite

More devil shit! A goblin diplomat, Anig Sheneeko, law-giver, from Behal Rusna has arrived.  I seem to recall they are from the human Civilization.  What happened, I wonder.

Again, I escorted the goblin with 2 human bowman body guards: Edi Galkakonli and Kon.
It was a short meeting, Anig said, “It has been a honor Duke Gwolfski. I bid you farewell.  I don’t trust them.

17th Hematite

A human caravan from Behal Rusna has arrived.

Quasar Ustutharkim, mayor has been re-elected.

There was an election?  I was busy sparring to have noted.

The trade activities lasted until the 24th of Hematite.

Midway through the negotiations, the chief medical dwarf May Olinesmul has organized a party at willow table. 

She definitely likes my architecture of the new hospital flooring

I inquired her if someone went to see her about a gold crutch

She did not recall anyone needing a crutch recently.  “Stubborn Doren,” I muttered to myself.

26th Hematite

I spent time away from my sparring sessions with Planter Bearskie

On the business of farms, I showed him the seeds I acquired from the human caravan. 

He looked at them with disgust.  Most of them will not grow in this region so dumping them is the only coarse of action. 

Four of those seeds will grow, so he will set small 7 tile plots for Strawberry, Taro, Mung Beans, and Lesser Yams.

We talked of the weather, specifically the report from Likot of Watch, “A cloud of profane smoke has drifted from the northeast heading towards Breadbowl.  Likot observes the cloud of profane smoke smothers over both the stray dogs in the northeast building trap to no apparent effect.  Repeat, no apparent effect.”

Bearskie said, “That is quite possibly the absolute pinnacle of bearshit.  It cannot be profane and don’t do anything.  I demand more SCIENCE to be done! More species! Of different bodysizes! Burrow a dwarf in there! By Armok, we must find out what this evil weather does…”

Taupe happens to be passing by and joined in the conversation, “So the smoke is an actual thing, and not a hallucination of Likot from too much Rat Weed smoke using Glumprong pipes?”  Taupe excitedly asks, “Do you think there is any chance that it be actual dragon smoke?”

Bearskie added, “I'd be amused if it turns out to be a verrry slow-acting syndrome.”


I just stood there dumbfounded and absurdity of it all.  Science? Not trusting the Watch’s reports? Dragon? Syndromes? 

I did not realize Bearskie and Taupe continued talking going to the hall and went to speak with Duke Gwolfski.

Chapter 22 (The Scheme Within)

"I am stunned, and no iron will can hold back the… " -- Sanctume

This is a continuation of Sanctume’s released journal in Breadbowl, Summer of 240.

3rd Malachite

Amazing that I have a full week with no interruption in my sparring. 

But all things comes to an end.  The duke has summoned me.

--

“Hullo duke,” I said while caressing the engravings in his office. 

He asks, “How was your week?”

I quickly replied with great enthusiasm, “A-maaa-zinggg! I.. uhhh...,” then caught myself feeling trapped.” 

I nervously asked, “What is going on?”

Duke: “Commander Taupe has good things to say about your sparring progress.”

Me: “Uh huh. I did fall asleep in the barracks most nights.”

Duke: “I thought it that a week without 'overseeing' duties is a reward for you to pursue your martial skills.”

Me: “So it was not my preparedness and delegation skills handled the week’s progress?”

Duke: “Goodness no.  There’s always Armok wanting blood.  No, I took part in 'overseeing' the week. I needed fresh air being accumulated above ground the past 4 years.”

I grow suspicious. A week of work that I did not know of.

Me: “What did you do?”

Duke hands me a report, “This.  This is not a mandate, so do not include it in your quarterly.”

I see a detailed sketch of an above ground dwelling with fortifications, supplies, a bedroom, and a little dwarf inside.  Upon the horizon, is a malicious cloud. No. It’s smoke.

My heart grew cold.  I want to protest.  The report's title says, "Special Project: Little House on the Jungle."

Duke: It is for the greater good. For SCIENCE!

I knew all along in the deepest roots of my beard that I am but a pawn in this.  I am to just follow orders.  It is done.

--

I left the duke’s office full of rage, and I knew where to let off steam...

The sparring sessions did not get rougher than lightly tappings.  But the surprises in aggressive charges were noticeable.  Alaknikot does not glow on these sessions, but this silver mace feels more an extension of my will and movements.

I had woken up on the barracks floor for doing individual drills until exhaustion. 

And on the 4th of Malachite, The Shafts of Fortifying, The Earthen Assaults, and Neighborhood Watch gathered in the cramp barracks.  I was silent, devoid of feelings or comments.  I have found my peace separating passions and duty.

Commander Taupe walks in the center.  “For the commitment to excellence in your pursuit to martial skills.  For the honor of the defense of Breadbowl.  I hereby declare, ‘Sanctume’ Olinlelum, ‘Sanctume Tongswane attains the title, Mace Lord, The First Mace Lord of Breadbowl.”

I am stunned, and no iron will can hold back the flood of emotions when the entire company cheers, “Huzzah!  Huzzah!  Huzzah!” 

All I could say is, “I need a drink.”

Chapter 23 (Witness, Giant Hamsters)

"I lost my mind!" -- Sanctume

This is a continuation of Sanctume’s released journal in Breadbowl, Summer of 240.

5th Malachite, morning

I saw Doren at the animal pens still limping and leading a Tiger out of it’s cage. 

Doren: “Here’s your new home, girl!”

Me: “Our Tiger looks great.”

I wanted to ask Doren about the gold crutch I ordered, but what’s the point when clearly he is a stubborn dwarf. 

--

Word reached me that Mebzuth Kerkol is throwing a tantrum!

That Mebzuth went to Quasar’s office, and locked himself in. 

I hope Mebzuth will be ok.

5th Malachite, afternoon

Duke Gwolfski has ended a mandate.

Still, Mebzuth Kerkol is throwing a tantrum!

No way!

Mebzuth is picking a fight with our new tiger!

--

Fisherman Mebzuth, punches the Tiger, but the Tiger jumps away.

The Soap Maker, Morul Kodlolok joins in, fighting the Tiger.
The Planter, Toul Endokkoman  joins in, fighting the Tiger.
Ranger Udil Likottatlosh joins in, fighting the Tiger.
Miller Urvad Abanlemis  joins in, fighting the Tiger.
Brewer Mistem joins in, fighting the Tiger.

Militia Captain Thob Lorstelid joins in.
The Tiger scratches Thob in the neck, lightly tapping the target.
Militia Captain Thob Lorstelid, “I must withdraw!”

Weaver Kogan Athelgatin
The Tiger scratches Thob in the neck, lightly tapping the target.
Kogan Athelgatin, “I must withdraw!”

The Tiger looks sick, retched, loses a third rear toe.

Fisherman Mebzuth, stabs the Tiger in the head with his iron short sword.

--

I lost my mind!

Chapter 24 (Irony of Sacrifices)

Sanctume sees life as unfair and doesn’t mind.

This is a continuation of Sanctume’s released journal in Breadbowl, Summer of 240.

5th Malachite, evening

I sure will not use my weapon against a dwarf of Breadbowl.  Not when the choice is between a dwarf and animal. 

My thoughts grew dark at the possibility of facing that choice in a fight between dwarves. 

Worse, “sacrificing” a dwarf.

I spent the next week in a dark mood.  I busy myself with stockpile management of all things.

But I still look at the “science report” the Duke handed me.

Special Project: Little House on the Jungle.

‘Wild Child’ Datan Giginfath, ‘Wild Child’ Fliersacks has been the chosen candidate.

Datan likes rose gold. 

So I went out of my way and ordered to smelt gold rose bars, and to make rose gold: statue, table, throne, cabinet, chest, and hatch cover.  For this sacrifice, he should at least have a grand bedroom.

15th Malachite

The dwarves of The Farm of Hammers now know a few fact about monitor lizard training.

21st Malachite

Ushat Erarmistem, Peasant withdraws from society, claims Carftsdwarf workshop, and creates Erlaven, “The Infinite Prairies”, a lychee wood crown, worth 34,800.

Another baby has grown to become a Dwarven Child.

Tree Fruit Brew List
1. Carambola
2. Dates
3. Guavas
4. Lychees
5. Passion Fruit
6. Rambutans

9th Galena

The past 20 days has been survived in a mostly drunk stupor. 

But I laugh at Armok’s sense of humor.

While the Special Project: Little House on the Jungle is near completion, there is live practice to be had.

There were Giant Langurs about so Watch is sent out to sortie the entire north region, for practice and meat.

--

A cloud of profane smoke starts drifting from the north and caught some unaware.

Spoiler: profane smoke (click to show/hide)

Too late to recall everyone in, including Duke Glowfski. 

Oh the sweet irony.  I stood on the bridge and observe from a distance. For SCIENCE!

Asen Udililes, militia captain was caught in the smoke. 

He fell down on ground and left a splattering of dwarf blood. 

The Duke, OH THE SHAME!

Spoiler: for science (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: citizens witnesses (click to show/hide)
I remind myself, ‘Wild Child’ Datan Giginfath, ‘Wild Child’ Fliersacks likes rose gold.

I timed it to about two days of slumber.  No health problems from the looks of it, but I’m no diagnostician.

Here, Duke Gwolfski even deconstruct the ramp leading to the roof and assigns a wall construction in its place. 

Duke even chose to sample the food supplies for Datan in his Little House of the Jungle.

Still, hilarious that the duke was one of the test subjects. What was he even doing out there?

By the way Santume, you're doing a very good job on your turn. Consistently detailed and conscientious. Keep it up. :D

Chapter 25 (Duty Is Heavy As A Mountain)

Sanctume is slow to trust others.

This is the conclusion of Sanctume’s released journal in Breadbowl, Summer of 240.

22nd Galena

The duke summons for me this morning.   

On my way to the duke’s office, word reached me that my daughter, As Vucarstinthan, is throwing a tantrum!   

She’s an adult and have her own family.  But still, this is troublesome.

The Cook, As Vucarstinthan and the Weaver Goden are on their way, separately, to Mayor Quasar’s office. 

I glimpsed the cook enter the office first, followed by the weaver.

The cook goes in the mayor’s office, but the mayor is not there (yet).

As soon weaver arrives in the mayor’s office, the cook punches the weaver and starts throwing a tantrum! 

The weaver gets beaten up inside and runs around.

The mayor arrives and tries to stop the fight.



The cook turns on the mayor and starts beating her up, BAD.



Sanctume hears the fight and runs in to investigate, and sees his daughter beating up the mayor, Quasar.

Sanctume intervenes by putting himself in between, but to no effect. 

Mayor lost ability to stand.

The duke comes in from his office, sees the mayor and carries her away, tears in his eyes, presumably to the hospital.



The cooks start fighting the dog and the weaver again.

Sanctume can’t get himself to attack his own daughter.

The duke turns around and shouts, “Congratulations Sanctume, You are promoted to Captain of the Guard!  Clean this mess up with your daughter.”



--

The Duke Gwolfski carries Mayor Quasar to the Hospital bed...



and he immediately leaves to Report a Crime.

But Doctor May is on her break…

(5 days later)

27th Galena

May finishes her Break, and Diagnose Patient.



Her right foot is mangled beyond recognition.
Her right hand is bruised.
Her head is bruised.

Doctor May retrieves a gold crutch from the coffers and assigned it to Mayor Quasar.

Mayor Quasar gets up and leaves to Report a Crime.







31st Galena

I do not know what will happen.  I do not know what entails the position of Captain of the Guard.

I do know that I mandate certain luxuries, including demands for jails, chains, cages, more cabinets, armor stand, weapon rack, dinning and even tomb.

Perhaps I will have to jail my daughter in time.

But I would dare say that I was being trained for this position for there are schemes within schemes that I have yet to learn.

It is a puzzle that Duke Gwolfski shows great compassion to Mayor Quasar, and yet she accuses him.

Is it dwarven iron will that holds back emotions to want the succor of a mother's embrace, a sue for peace instead of striking out because one is a witness to great injustice? 

A dwarf must have compassion in the core of his being.

In the mean time, I visit a special dwarf. 

I said my farewell and I locked the hatch.



Spoiler: Datan is Home. (click to show/hide)

That was some eventful update! It seems that years of being rained upon are beginning to take its toll upon the citizens of Breadbowl. I'd pity your character, but I sense even more bloodshed happening in his future. Dwarven justice is not gentle.

The duke has his construction labor on because I was flooring a lot at first early on with that mandate #6 crashes. 

Anyway, I just needed 3 tiles on the roof, and some of those rose gold furniture can't be put in without a roof.

He put one roof, and was leaving when the smoke shows up. 

It did not even show in the announcement that I note.  Perhaps it did show but I get lots of spam about needed potash or pearlash.

During the first time, the dogs in the trap building, they don't indicate they are asleep, nor any health loss indicator. No blood splatters.

p.s. I need to read up on what Captain of the Guard is suppose to do.  I've not played Justice System.  So any hints and tips would be appreciated.

I'm caught up in game play and notes.  I will be starting to play Autumn 240 next, as CotG.

So I have Mon, Tue, Wed, and Thursday left to finish up? 

Crap, I have work in the morning, and have no new game notes to draft.

(OOC: dorf!me has a grudge against dorf!gwolfski. Any nastiness in the following can therefore be attributed to roleplaying)

Journal of Quasar Fencedraces, Head cook of Imarust, "Breadbowl"
24 Galena, 204

I am conflicted.

I have been keeping an eye on As, one of my subordinate cooks, for quite some time now. Though she has been through nothing we haven't all been through, I have watched stress slowly take it's physical toll on the dwarf. SHe would come to me to cry and yell, but despite her forthright Honesty about the emotions sHe was suffering from, neitHer of us could say for sure wHere the stress was coming from. Our lives in Breadbowl are not terrible. THere have been some deaths, but nothing to drive a dwarf to tantrum. Compared to some outposts, we live astoundingly well. It is a mystery, and I am not fond of mysteries.

The closest guess I have is that her father's shadow, as legendary macedwarf, overseer and weilder of Alaknikot, grows long enough to cover her with darkness, but she swears this is not the case and that she couldn't be prouder of him.

It all came to a head on the 22nd of the month. I brought her to my office to speak to her, as I had so many times before. We spoke for a few minutes, and I said something. I'm still not entirely sure what. Her face twisted with rage.... and she lashed out.

I may never walk again without aid. And this crutch May gave me is the heaviest bloody stick I've ever had the misfortune to be lumped with. What idiot thought a crutch made of gold was a good idea? But I digress.

My foot was mangled. And then, to my everlasting shock, it was that lazy, undeserving arse of a "duke" who ran in, pulled me away from the enraged woman, and carried me in his arms all the way to the hospital. He may well have saved my life.

Why? Gwolfski and I have had a mutual grudge against each other since the day we met. Maybe he thinks he owes me, but... I only secured him his position in the hope that, when the King inevitably goes utterly spare and orders us all hammered, he who appears to be in charge will be the first against the silver. Or maybe he thinks that I owe him a favor now. By Rurast, I hope not. That would be embarrassing.

Or maybe I have misjudged him entirely, and he had no ulterior motive for his actions. Anything is possible, I suppose...

Regardless, now I am torn. Gwolfski told Sanctume he was captain of the guard. So, when Sanctume comes to my office to follow up on this event, I can tell him the truth and accuse my poor, long suffering apprentice of attacking me. And then the man, a war hero already, would be forced to exact cruel justice upon his own daughter.

Or I can accuse the only other who was there. The man who carried me out of there, and possibly saved my life. Sanctume will not buy it for a second: he was there, afterall. But it gives the poor dwarf a way out. a way to plead "reasonable doubt" and to keep from having to harm his daughter.

Put like that, there's really only one reasonable choice. I'm sure Gwolfski would agree. It's not like he will actually be punished for the crime.

Perhaps... perhaps as a courtesy, I should summon the duke and inform him of my intentions before I accuse him of anything. Actually no, wait, that would mean actually having to talk to the insufferable prick. Nevermind, I'm sure he'll be fine.

Don't worry, since you've obviously been putting in a load of effort on these updates, it will be fine if you go past the deadline somewhat. The deadlines are mostly just to prevent people disappearing with the save and holding up the game for weeks.

Despite her misgivings about fact that it's made of the heaviest metal in the fortress, I've got to admit a solid-gold crutch is a pretty damn stylish accessory. Plus it'll probably hurt more when I develop the habit of hitting my minions and anyone who talks back to me over the head with it. I approve! :D

This is some awesome unfolding of the story.  Talk about emergent gameplay.  It's DF soap opera at it's finest. 

My notes started with Doren because he was blinking in the Phoebus tile set.  That's when I read that he is missing a left foot.  Anyway, I've read plenty of dorf science about having heavy crutch from silver of gold can increase misc object skills and be a deadly weapon.  So I did order a gold crutch, in hopes Doren replaces his.

I also did not start assigning the science house bunker until there were posts about the smoke.  Good timing too as I spent a good deal of time writing down the lists of existing stockpiles in excel.  And the figuring out how to convert some to feeders into temporary stockpiles, until I have the stockpiles that was workable, without QSP.

And that first tantrum.  In my DF games, I usually did not care and lock them out.  I've also not played longer then 3 games years as I tend to experiment with fort buildings and military.  So I have little play experience dealing with stressed.  It is most unfortunate that I did not keep the mayor's door forbidden, thinking Mebzuth will remain there.  So I just recently move the tiger out of the cage at an empty zone, above the hamsters.  Shit, I wanted to kill Mebzuth, but I did not even try to s-p-a-e-k (squad, select individual squad, squad a, e for sanctume, k for kill).  I thought military presence would be enough if I move.  Nopes, citizens gangbanged the poor tiger.  It was absurd, but the notes was rather bland.  I googled jokes and tiger, and got some working on wiki:
  • Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
  • Catch a tiger by the toe.
  • If he hollers, let him go,
  • Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
It's got 4 characters, about a toe, about holler, and "let him go." I think it works enough for a cheesy joke.

Then I just have to include the hamsters.  Googled kid's jokes on hamsters. And also googled Hamster names--trivia: those 3 chosen are Disney Hamster Names: Milo, Sarabi and Daisy.

The smoke coming over as the house was being built, was coincidence with the Langur interruption as I sent out Watch to kill rectangle in hopes the new recruits gets exp.
The duke out there was pure gold too, so I just weaved the tale that it was his idea bout the house.

That also can explain how sanctume got Mace Lord.  It's ho-hum kinda announcement anyway, and soundsense spams me with fighting clanks when there are sparring going on, which is pretty much constant.

And then As, then cook, sanctume's daughter went tantrum, and I just had to move sanctume there for screen shots.  I have zero clue on what I could do.  It's when the duke really picked up the mayor and ran that I tried what CotG will do.  Did As really stop the tantrum when CotG is there?  I mean, do tantrums stop that way or it's just coincidence?

If you recall, I was writing a mini-story before my turn about "As" the new migrant child.  I was 2 parts in, about gray langur milk cheese, and giant hamster meat stockpile.  "As" came from being the macedorf's daughter. So when the game announced she is depressed, I was interested on what will happen. At the same time, I've not dealt with stress / sadness.

I set 4 near the highest happy levels to "Corpse Duty" after the siege in spring.  By early summer, 2 out of 4 have increased in stress, so I remove all their labors.  I did the same for the red stressed people including Mebzuth and As.  It was also time consuming to find where their room is so I can try and build their "like" material furniture, but I got distracted, and too much micro management at that point. 

Anyway, I took PTO this morning, feels good to sleep more than 4 hours. :)  /ooc
