This has a lot of uses, magma, water from the aquifer. The fortress could become internally sustained. No more risks from sieges

The only dye dwarfs should use is MAGMA. And the only thing dwarfs should dye is ELVES.

10th of Limestone

Hmm, very little of interest has happened, I ordered the miners to dig down a ways, but it should be a while befo-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

NEVER MIND. I have heard tales of this wondrous metal, but to see it in person...I have ordered small-scale mining of the substance. Soon our warriors shall be clad in indestructible armor, and with weapons of legend they shall lay waste to those accursed elves, and anyone else who gets in the way! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

23rd of Limestone

The miners finally manage to bring up a sample, and to my frustration, the metalworkers don't seem to be able to do anything with it; it's completely heat resistant. One of the craftsdwarfs looked at it, and said he could extract strands of metal from the ore. They did that and the result was...breathtaking. the strands can be smelted into wafers of the substance, or woven into extremely durable clothing.

I'm gonna update later today or tomorrow. I...need a while to digest this.

This is why people should either make plans to do this OR not join up.

Not to be harsh, but it slows the entire game down (if thats even possible) and can make other people drop out because of plans and such.

Again... dont want to insult/annoy/hur anyones feelings  :P

Sorry, guys. I've had a lot of work to do that was kinda just suddenly shoved on me. I have the entirety of today to finish my turn, so expect an update posthaste.

I apologize for my lateness.

7th of Sandstone

Unfortunately, the extraction process is incredibly slow; we have yet to get a single wafer of the wondrous metal. I have built additional craftsdwarf's workshops to compensate for this.

18th of Sandstone

More migrants have arrived! nothing interesting, but we are now at 85 dwarfs!

28th of Sandstone

I had the engravers work on the new dining hall, and I've got to hand it to 'em, they know how to engrave a dead elf!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Just as I exit the dining hall, a stonecrafter takes over a craftdwarfs workshop dedicated to processing adamantine, and starts demanding a turtle's shell less than EVERYTHING.
I need to consider whether I should accommodate him, or wall him into his workshop.

10th of Timber

I have decided to accommodate the lunatic...for now. I unseal the exposed cavern so that dwarfs may gather cave spider silk, and have ordered the slaughter of several kittens to provide him with bone and hides.

11th of Timber

A dwarven caravan has arrived! In even better news, the first set of Adamantine armor is finished, and I have given it to Branded, our militia commander, along with an Adamantine battle axe!

16th of Timber

I get word that the stonecrafter has begun his project as I head to converse with the merchants.
I request booze. Lot's of booze.
I trade two barrels of Gnomeblight we got from the elves and a gold amulet for some leather, cloth, booze, and meat. While we trade, I also tell them about my water reactor, and ask them for suggestions on its use. After a lengthy discussion, we decided that, while awesome, orbital magma death lasers would be rather hard to build, even with infinite power. Oh, well.

19th of Timber

The stonecrafter's artifact is complete, and I must say that I am impressed.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I've got no idea how the hell he managed to make spikes out of silk, but why not?

Right as he finishes, Goblins strike from ambush! I don't know what the hell happened to piss them off this much, but at least we have the caravan guard to aid us in this battle.
I will post the battle's results shortly.

26th of Timber

...huh. Considering the outcome of the last battle, this one was luckily anti-climactic. One macedwarf from the caravan mauled a few of the goblins, and they all ran screaming. Damn good thing, too, as much of our military is still nursing injuries from the last battle, myself included.

1st of Moonstone

Winter has arrived, and a second set of Adamantine armor has been commissioned. A trade agreement has also been reached.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

2nd of Opal

After an extremely uneventful moonstone, I just noticed that there are still elf corpses in the trade depot.
No need to clean them up, really.

10th of Opal

HOLY ARMOK A GIANT SPIDER!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Uhh...this is not good. We are not pre- wait. what should we be scared of? We are clad in adamantine! Nothing shall strike us down! I order the military to slay the foul beast.

I will post the results, and my last update shortly.

I'm in the military, right? I have a bad feeling about this... For the love of Armok, I hope I have the second adamantine armour
