My question is, do we have weapons that would be good enough for a Dwarf Marine? I mean, like real good quality. Since they are a rather good investment, in my opinion, it would only be logical for them to have the best equipment. Other non-Marine squads can be considered sorta like Imperial Guardsmen, so not really important. Donīt get me wrong, they are useful, but when it comes to hardened badasses who really donīt give a shit if they fight a greenskin or a titan, so long as they have meat for satabbing, well...

Well, as I mentioned we seem to only have copper and silver so the answer would lie deep within the earth...

Journal of Ryukan Giltink, Travelling Wizard
11th of Slate, 253

Spoiler: Ryukan The Travelling Wizard (click to show/hide)

Well then dear Henry, I must express that I have indeed found myself in a bind. No, nothing like that Elf chick who turned out to be a guy (I still deny ever thinking different), no, I believe I have found myself the accidental leader of this quaint Dwarven Fortress.

Spoiler: The Towers (click to show/hide)

After travelling for days, heading to Wizard-Con in Tamedgrowl, I stumbled across a strange set of towers shooting into the sky, they looked new and appeared to be not quite done yet. I decided to take a detour and see what this new structure was. I was surprised to see several dwarves, over a hundred by my reckoning, to be delving out a home for themselves.

After a few inquiries, I found that the last leader of this expedition had buggered off, something out a God-Emperor or some other nonsense. I introduced myself as a Travelling Wizard and performed a few card tricks to show them, they seemed rather excited for some reason. I, being the fool I am, followed them into the upper levels of their fort.

A bit dirty and smelly, but the farther we went, the more it turned to nice smoothed stone

Spoiler: Nice but small housing (click to show/hide)

After a few hours of talking, I was asked to lead this place until next spring, more than a whole year away! I tried to decline, but they wouldn't take no for an answer and now I find myself several stories below the earth writing in you. I figured that I might as well stay comfy while I serve my tenure, so I asked for a small apartment to be delved for my tired bones, I ain't the spring chicken I used to be.

Also, I swear I'm seeing things, but I can't help but sense otherworldly things are watching me....

Spoiler: Later research found the culprits to be ghosts yet to be put to rest (click to show/hide)

With that Henry, I am now going to take stock of the place and try to remember what I learned in my one class of "Fortress Management" back in college, man, Prof. Obuk was right, I would need those skills someday....

@exodius1: Yeah, it's still a thing, though it's not a thing you'll have to do. Send them out to kill a goblin sieges and the killing naturally inures them to it. (Which is bit of a shame, as it makes human/elven vampire lord armies need alcohol.)


Nice starting picture with goslings and...What's that brown g?

Sanctume did nice towers.

Card tricks are always cool. I have a friend who has dozens of disposable set of card packs just to show off with pulling out cards that would be impossible to pull off with just one pack.

And yeah, Autumncrawl is a good name.

I take it someone slaughtered visitors to save fps. While not reducing popcap for dwares.

Of course, dwarves are, on average, more useful.

Yeah, I'm trying to RP as a bumbling fool who just stumbles in and does random shit for a year and a half . I chose this dude cuz he was quite literally, blank, he has no skills or any relations outside of one of his travelling companions being an acquaintance, he's also an atheist. So, Wizard XD

Oops...
Bloody goblins invading our fortress pretending to work with their MatheamMURDERERSgifician.
That guy may have got "caught up" in the fighting.

ooh wow, sorry. I was dealing with rl crap. I'll post the spring and summer updates tomorrow.

Ad yes, life was kicking me in the groin many times this past week, it sucked 

[Bearskie]

Good writing Ryukan. I admit, I laughed more than once.

I am a master Story Weaver. I havent done a turn in a succession fort in ages, so I'm pouring alot into this. I don't want to make an intricate web of plot, this is just a year and a half of me being a glorious idiot

[wertyzerty]

The best kind of year and a half

[TheImmortalRyukan]

sadly, the update won't happen tonight most likely, I have a paper I need to rush

[wertyzerty]

Don't worry, if it's more of that, I don't speak for everyone but I can wait.

[TheImmortalRyukan]

I'll try and finish summer, but no promises. I'll post spring tho, just have to find the motivation to write it
