Chapter 4: Hamlet AgesrelicAct 1: The Rescue25 Slate, 81The full moon wanes, Zon and Mebzuth calmed down, and transformed back into dwarfs. They are schedule of go back into quarantine 10 days prior to the next full moon on 21 Felsite.
The old fortifications are all wrong because they do not have a roof, so they are deconstructed and log walls will be placed, and then fortifications will be carved after as needed later.
The giant chameleon is now a corpse, and the incident report highlights:
Guard Athel passes out from exhaustion.
Child Kulet passes out from exhaustion.
Guard Zuglar passes out from exhaustion.The priority is constructing access to the east wall. The giant chameleon is dead, but there are two children Kulet and Erib up there still with expedition leader Tirist, Carpenter Eshtan, Cook Lor, and Grandma Meng.
Grandma Meng! Snacks found baby Kel hanging on the side of a log wall on the second floor. It’s open space below and 1z high onto dirt floor below. So baby Kel also needs construction rescue.
Removing the fortification, and building a ramp will gain access up the east wall. And, of course construct a couple of floors to reach Baby Kel.
8 Felsite, 81A week after Grandma Meng’s rescue from the east wall, Snacks walks in “the Curled Butters” tavern for a drink.
Snacks: Hello Grandma Meng, where’s baby Kel?
Grandma Meng holds a dolomite mug, pauses and looks around.
Snacks surveys the east wall and discovers the construction floor below Baby Kel is suspended. The construction task is immediately resumed, and the floor is soon finished.
Grandma Meng cancels Drink: Seeking Infant.Act 2: A Sleek VeilWork continues in McUrist with minor tasks and details delegated to team members.
The garbage smasher task below fisher wharf has a bottleneck for mason labor, so a few more workers should begin to dabble in masonry to help complete the job.
Wooden cages are also set in the middle of the nest boxes to contain the large quantity of ducklings, chicks, and puppies.
Although it is against the above ground aesthetics, a Mason, Mechanic, and Craftsdwarf workshop is built in the dolomite quarry area. This is a temporary measure until the work area on the surface is more organized. So, it will faster to access dolomite stone down in the quarry, and build furnitures, mechanism, and other stone items without too much hauling.
The Fisher Wharf has room for 3 bedrooms.
2 Felsite, 81Farmer Edzul has been possessed!
6 Felsite, 81Farmer Edzul has not claimed any workshop yet.
Snacks determined missing workshops, so the following are built: smelter, metalsmith’s forge, bowyer, and leather works to entice Edzul to claim something. Some team members volunteer to dabble in those labors to help build the workshops.
The Bowyer’s Workshop is built, and Edzul is still staring off at in space.
9 Felsite, 81Edzul claims a Leather Works, and takes 2 giant slug leather.
I wondered where the slug leather came from, and apparently Guard Atir has been an active hunter with a bismuth bronze crossbow.
Guard Atir I., Novice Animal Trainer, Hunting labor, (female 22). Wife of Mason Thob.
She has quite a kill list which includes giant hamster, giant chameleon, 3 giant slugs and a family of rabbits.
14 Felsite, 81Edzul created “The Labyrinth of Twisting”, a sleek giant slug leather head veil with a retail values of ☼3000 in the exotic leather market.
Act 3: Mishap and Miasma10 Felsite, 81The farms, seed stockpiles are planned. The dirt floor on z132 is being channeled to expose the silt loam to sunlight.
Plans for the workshop layout are almost final.
Digging starts for a garbage chute by the butcher shop.
A dozen apartments plan up on z133 is also finalized.
12 Felsite, 81With many projects going on, Zon and Mebzuth are sent to their quarantine room. They are given Stone Detailing labor to busy themselves smoothing their rooms.
16 Felsite, 81Miasma start forming from the body of Stakud, so the digging the catacombs on the first layer of dolomites begins.
Note: Dolomite has the highest melting point of all common stones, and it is also a flux stone so it is more valuable.
Coffin and slab pairing are ordered for the burial for Stakud.
19 Felsite, 81Starts placing farm plots for both below and above ground, and seed stockpile and seed feeder pile.
The butcher garbage chute has the garbage smasher under construction.
Channeling the dirt on z132 continues.
21 Felsite, 81It’s full moon, Zon and Mebzuth are in their quarantine rooms smoothing the walls, maybe.
Willow logs floors are being constructed in place of the channeled dirt; while more of the dirt are being channeled row by row.
22 Felsite, 81A mishap. A section of the floor construction collapse down to the farm plots. It was a willow log and created too much dust that left Melbil, Erush, Kib and Grandma Meng unconscious for a fews second. Baby Kel was covered by dusts as well, but he looks fine.
23 Felsite, 81Zon and Mebzuth are back as dwarfs, so their hatch covers are unlocked.
They also destroyed their beds. No more beds will be placed in the quarantine rooms.
Remember the next full moon is 19 Hematite.
Act 4: Summer BanditsSummer arrives and constructing floor and channeling dirt continues without any more mishaps. More willow trees are marked for cutting for the large demand of willow log flooring.
4 Hematite, 81A couple of kobold thieves, Sushlurus and Shrogofothlayber have been spotted skulking around.
Guard Rigoth is reinstated back to The Mines of Curiosity, and the squad is ordered to apprehend the thieves.
The squad gave chase.
Kobold thief Shrogofothlayber slipped away, but Cmdr Vucar and Guard Mistem landed some joint locks exhausting kobold thief Sushlurus. Sushlurus almost got away to the western edge of the map until one joint lock on the upper arms from Cmdr Vucar provides an opportunity for Guard Mistem’s punch in the head to explodes the injured parts into gore. A silver dagger is rumored to be seen dropped nearby, but it is nowhere to be seen.
Act 5: The Late Treaties8 Hematite, 81With so much activities, Zon and Mebzuth have been smoothing their quarantine rooms all this time. With the full moon coming in just 11 days, they might as well stay locked in.
10 Hematite, 81Shodec Shimdokopka, a human maceman is visiting and she wishes to reside in Agesrelic for the purpose of soldiering.
Prior to accepting this petition, squad Quarantine 1 has been disbanded. A new squad is created, “The Late Treaties” and Rigoth is promoted to Captain Rigoth. Congratulations Captain Rigoth!
