If you willing to take a complete noob sign me up
You're hired!
What he said. I personally enjoy it when noobs play succession games, because it makes the entire thing more interesting.
TURN 1.... COMMENCE!!!!
1st Granite:
All the lads are scared out of their minds and I don’t blame em’. Everything about this armok-forsaken place is different. The mountain goes on and on, upwards forever, a sheer rock face, climbing up into the heavens. The trees are short and stunted, only yielding a single log when felled.
But what scares me most of all is that I recognize it, from stories that me mum told me when I was but a wee lad.
When Armok forged the earth, he has gone through a vast multitude of changes to his mighty creation, through his servant The Toad. We are nowhere any dwarf has been in millions of years, or in millions of universes.
And we are in that strange, forbidding realm where the most forsaken of fortresses lay: Boatmurdered.
I remember me mum telling me that once to be able to farm, dwarves had to dig into the mountain itself to harness a mighty underground river.
If we are to survive, we shall have to have to rely on our strength and wits alone.
While we dig into the mountain, I order the rest of the lads to chop down the lads to cut down the trees and to build some basic workshops so that we can survive while we carve out holdings for ourselves.
13th Granite
While digging today, my pick broke through the last layer of stone, finding the mighty underground river and confirming my fears. The river, fast and swift tumbled past the stones. When I looked into it, it seemed to drop down into the depths forever.
Because there is no soil here to be found, I order a group of rooms to be built near the river so that we may grow something before the food runs out.
Today, the lads outside reported that there was a herd of unicorns outside. According to my Urist’s Guide to Fortressing, these beasts are capable of goring a dwarf to death before they have a chance to react. Truly terrifying beasts.
25th Slate:
Construction of the farms and storage areas is proceeding nicely. Soon, we will be able to gorge ourselves on mushrooms instead of all this horrible horse meat.
12 Felsite:
The farms have finally been dug out of the mountain, and all we have to do now is wait for the mighty river to flood and muddy the rocks, as me mum told me they used to do.
23rd Felsite:
Jwoodward and I have started cutting out a few storage rooms. Small, because me mum used to tell me that, the mountain would collapse in on itself when one dug too much at once. Truly bizarre.
11th Hematite:
The cave river overflowed today, gushing massive amounts of water into the farms and our cavern. jwoodward, choosing to take a nap in the middle of the corridor, was almost swept into the stream.
Fortunately, we we able to build farms on the freshly muddied rock.
8th Malachite
The lads finally finished building the bridge crossing the mighty stream. I hope no one crosses it during one of those floods.
11th Malachite
Today our good friend back from the mountainhome, Gwolfski, fell out of the sky carrying an anvil. After waking him up, he revealed that we had left our anvil back at the capital, and he had come to deliver it to us. However, when he approached that damn portal that took us here, it sucked him in and transported him to this place.
Now that I think of it, what of all the migrants that mountainhome will send to us? Will they also be sent to the portal, and sucked here to this past realm? Only time will tell.
17th Malachite:
Today EyoyaBosan walked on over to me and suggested that we build a couple of bridges over the cave river to prevent anyone from being knocked off and sent careening into that bottomless pit. I put his suggestion into effect immediately. I shall call it the B.L.T (Bridge-Lever Thingamabob).
9th Galena:
While attempting to get our first batch of booze brewed, imic said that he couldn't do it, for there were no barrels available. Upon closer inspection, it was because Mr. Frog, our resident carpenter, was busy sleeping in the refuse pile.
Dude needs to get some help.
2nd Limestone:
Mr. Frog finally stopped sleeping in the trash pile and made a few barrels before going on break. However, he made just enough barrels for us to brew our first batch of alcohol. Armok be praised!
4th Limestone:
I ordered a bridge to be built, removing us from the outside world in case things start to go awry. After the lads finished building it, I got jwoodward to install a lever in our makeshift dining hall so that there will always be someone available to pull it if things go wrong.
Dorfing and turn lists updated.
