Title: DF Let's Play/Bloodline: Boldroads, thorn of the Necromancers
Post by: Az the Squishy on October 18, 2017, 09:25:53 PM

So, while I'm school I've been tossing this idea around in my head for sometime now. In-between both school, Work (the newspaper at the school), and the Mod i generally sacrifice grades and time with others to make time for myself. I'm surrounded by people enough in the day and work with people enough I don't want to usually hang out too long with other warm bodies!

So, as the title of this "discussion" states, this is going to be a Bloodline game for Dwarf Fortress.
This initial post will explain what the game is to those uninitiated, where to find it and where to find information on it (other than simply praying the almighty to gob of Google).

Boldroads has come to life, see the post here. @!!!CLICK ME!!!@ (http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=13072.msg281685#msg281685)

A primer to DF or Dwarf Fortress, for those who want to enjoy the bloodline if it even starts up.
Spoiler

Slaves to Armok: God of blood
Chatpter 2: Dwarf Fortress
Or simply, Dwarf Fortress, could be described as something similar to sim-city, Dungeons 3, and dungeon keeper. you are tasked with only one objective with your seven starting dwarves and cart of supplies. Make a fortress. Make it big, make it small, make it layered in soap, make it run blood, make it spew magma! It's whatever you want to make it,

but make, a, fortress.

The game is often described as having a learning curve (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/images/4/40/FunComic.png) akin to a cliff. It often drives the community's motto (http://twistedspeedo.com/comics/2011-05-28-LosingIsFun.jpg) of: LOSING IS FUN!

The Wiki is very helpfull and many youtubers have done videos of varying degrees of enjoyablility on the game and how to play it, or simply a good LP.
For those that're curious I'd reccomend a LPer by the name of "Kruggsmash" guy makes some awesome stuff. For the fresh blood, curious, or simply rusty, here's a very loose overview of a running fortress.

For veterans of the game, move on to the next post.

. . .New Quick-start in the works. . .

TL:DR?
You take seven drunk midgets into a fly infested bog, wolf walked forest, zombie ridden hell hole and try to make as cool an funcitonall of a fortress as you can before Urist McMyVomitDon'tReek pulls a lever and kills everyone with !!! REDACTED !!!
Or in English:
You take 7 dwarves with supplies and carve or construct a fortress as cool an functional as you can before it all, inevitability, maybe awesomely, ends.
Additional information can be found at:

Due to lack of replies and interest in running a genuine bloodline, the rules are here more for the ease of going into a bloodline if anyone get's interested enough again.

*___________________________________________________________*
___________________________________________________
_________________________________________

These are the common rules for the fortress and what players will need to do in order to participate, and some guidelines.
_________________________________________

1.
    Do NOT intentionally brick or destroy the fortress. This will get in the fun of others who enjoy the game genuinely and want to see how far or badass this can get!
2.
    KEEP A BACK UP OF THE SAVE. If you pass the save to the next player in line and things go belly up- they can't continue, they don't want to, etc etc -we will revert to the earliest save. If you simply don't keep a back-up, then we're SOL. At least keep your save safe till the THIRD player get's the save.
3.
    Do NOT try to force crap to happen. Sometimes you just get a quiet year. enjoy it. Make something fun. Make a colorfull dance-floor!
4.
    All turns will be the go-to of ONE, in-game YEAR. You may continue to play after your turn with a seprate file if you'd like; Or go on an Adventure to see more detail about the fortress and what can be glimpsed in Legends mode.
5.
    Do NOT derail or spam the thread. This will avoid bloat and if a Player posts his turn in segments, rather than a massive post. This makes it easier for other players and readers to enjoy.
6.
    Do NOT use a modded version of the game to play- Masterwork or MLF: Fortress is Magic What?... -we are going to play Vanilla for the first go through.
7.
    Follow the general rules of the forum.
8.
   Since this is the FIRST Bloodline game that I'm aware of on the forums, there are going to be NO gameplay restrictions or goals. Unless ideas are majority approved (I get tons of people saying "X had a uristing awesome idea!!!") they will not be implimented. Likewise, goals/restrictions will NOT be enforced if a Game has NOT started with the Goals/restrictions to begin with.

Some general guidelines

Use EXPERIMENTAL LazyNewbPack, unless you are VERY confident of yourself in the game and how it's file-systems work. This application REALLY has helped many people get into the game that normally wouldn't! (NOTE: this (http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=13201) requires Python (https://www.python.org/) to run.)

Inform us, describe WHAT and WHO and WHERE! This style of play is partly a story-telling exercise. You don't need to have something big like some of the posters in Boatmurdered or other Bloodline games, but do at least give us an idea of what's going on. EVEN IF YOU'RE USING A GRAPHIC PACK.

Use the wiki, we're not watching you play, we're waiting for your report of time/happenings in the fortress for your year!

Try to post something within at most a week, again you don't have to post things all at once. Make posts as things happen if you want or put something together.  (edited 10-27-2017)
IF WE DO NOT GET IN TOUCH, YOU HAVE A 2 WEEK GRACE TO INFORM THE THREAD IF THINGS HAVE HAPPENED.
After the 2-week grace period your turn will be revoked and the last save will go to the next player in line.
That DOES NOT mean you can't play again, it just means you've to wait till your turn comes up in the line-up.

When you turn the game over to the next player. Consider reverting the game's graphics to use the default ASCII set, that way the next player can simply install THEIR preferred graphics. Not required but can help other players for sure! :)


Have fun! But keep names and other things family friendly- as friendly as decapitation can be. Besides, no one needs to see crass names like well. Like some cringey teen goth in a closet trying to rebel by cussing like a sailor.

On the point of fun, if you feel insprised to make something about the fortress- a comic, doodle, etc -post it! Keep it to recent and relevant posts by the way!

Look to some of the older Bloodlines if you're unsure what to do.

Excerpts from the journal of Urist McGregor Counseldye, Dwarven scout of The Gold of Mediating, year 250.
Spoiler
(https://i.imgur.com/8stSuPc.png)

250 early-spring, Unknown date:

Some weeks of wandering the hills and badlands to the south I've made some good progress for some group of dwarves calling themselves "The Vault of Twinkles". They came from my cousins from the north led by some Catman. Strangely he didn't stink like half the cats I met. Still creepy as Murfs though with that face. Lurth above... I have nightmares about that thing sometimes now.
Whining about their odd choice in leader ship aside, they gave me a deal of silver and told me they were looking to make it rich out on there own and wanted somewhere nice,somewhere pleasant.
Well, after walking in these "Riddled Hills" I found some place by the shoreline, sure it looks dangerous. All sorts of things really, even met some heyna men down there, but. After taking care of them and a rather obnoxious yeti

(https://i.imgur.com/95ipGIJ.png)

I think they'll be fine. Besides, the Catman knew a good deal about rocks! Suppose it comes from the fact he was apparently raised by dwarfs rather than some soft tall hummie or even worse, an Elf~! Goblins would've skinned him for his pelt.

250 early-spring, unknown:

Took a bit more of a look at some spots by the shore, even swam down into the sea! "OH Urist, don't bother reading tha', yur' too dum!" "Oh Urist, dwarfs don' need'a learn to swim, wha' the worry for?" Well wouldn't you know it came in handy! I swam down into the deep and with my nose full of water was able to follow the scent of iron in the water to a wall of liminate! While I'm sure the rest of the area might have an Aquifer that the group'll have to deal with, they have Iron, and if they're carefull, the Shale on the shore should let them get-by the aquifer with no issues at all~!

(https://i.imgur.com/bpikIpw.png)

250 early-spring date  20th of Granite:

I've settled down in Outragebolts if they need me again. I'll be happily plastered and with that silver they gave me well... I could be here quiet a while.

250-02-10:
Took longer than we thought to get here. Then again we got Urist's letter about where to go and how to get there 3 weeks out when he ACTUALLY got it. So, that certainly didn't help. Anyway, I've gotten Titmouse and Jay2Jay working on striking into the shale to find some good stone to build out our fortress. If anything we'll need to build a top-side wearhouse to act as a temporary storage or something. not sure really. Least the local funua isn't auh... Too dangerous.

(https://i.imgur.com/PJ6lxkG.png)

Birds or not those things are massive!... Wonder if they taste like the gulls back north.

250-02-10 mid-day (?):
Hey! We struck Limonite not too far down! Sweet, we can get to making Iron, maybe even some steel if we can find some marble or chalk, or get some from the traders.

(https://i.imgur.com/4Fls2RY.png)

250-02-15:
Gelena! Not much use for anything but the silver it could bring. Maybe some barrles... Chains? There's a good bit you can do with lead but, I think it'd be best to use it as training for black-smiths.

250-02-21:
WE'VE STRUCK GOLD IN THE STORAGE ROOM I HAD PLANNED! WOOOO!!! Gold, murfing GOLD MAN! YEAH! We'll need to get the Furnace-room set up at some point, never know what'll be coming to get that stuff when word gets out.
(https://i.imgur.com/ZMR6CWX.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/wlbI95c.png)

250-03-15:
Well, after dealing with vomiting dwarves up at the mountain homes. I spoke with the doctor before we left and found it was something called "Cave Adaption". HOnestly I'd rather not have Viymese vomiting over Titmouse or Axel while we're sharing a dorm at the moment or when migrants inevitably come. The plan I have in mind is to have grates for floors and dwarves are able to pass through these grates to get to other rooms, always seeing the light, always feeling the wind so they don't become some vomiting smegol-things!
(https://i.imgur.com/QQoeR6w.png)

250-03-22:
Well, I had Jay2Jay dig down into the earth for the Aquifer... Seems it was a single layer of rock becuase before Jay was forced out from the water- or be drowned! -he saw chalk! Which also means STEEL! Hahaha! Ah... But, unfortunately with how Aquifers work... I think I'd rather try to find a second layer of Chalk... Or just try to find some more stuff deeper down.
Speaking of light stone, we found Mica when we dug down! Great stuff for making light stone items. Not very good against fires and so on though.
(https://i.imgur.com/QxiOSLS.png)

250-4-01:
Ah, summer... Good gods murfs it's hot! It is hot, hot, hot! The only good thing is that th' ocean helps cool us off! Though, I certainly need to start the farms and get some of the pools here pumped to make some viable source of water.

250-4-13:
Well, we've got only two people. That is just fine by me. We don't have any rooms and very little to well, yeah. So, I'm not sure if we want to keep in the stone as we are but... So far, so good. If we want to get at the iron I think we'll need to work on getting a quarry through the Aquifer... Maybe even seal off part of the ocean with magma pumps or something. Tartilfette has been pretty good as a cook an all around is surprisingly knowledgeable.

(https://i.imgur.com/7QR2lAs.png)

250-06-03:
We've seen a good few things, found some marble deep in the earth and some bumble bees! Maybe would could make some mead.
...
As far as the status of the fortress goes. We' ve gotten a dining room going, a Dorm and we're setting up a room for out appraiser Titmouse for when the Trade caravan's come in at the fall.

(https://i.imgur.com/sXozspw.png)

250-07-01:
Well, Fall's come and I'll be damned its' finally not so hot! I can actually go up and enjoy the sun! Speaking of the sun, I've gone and put my plan into motion! I've made a series of grates at the very top of the fortress. I made the grates out of Microline! SO MURFING BLUE! I love the color! I've also begun to work on my own room. I'm the overseer, why the hell not?

Here's a sketch of Titmouse digging out the column:
(https://i.imgur.com/wXef4ow.png)

Here's some basic stats of the fortress, though, again it's not much.... We really need a book keeper at some point.
(https://i.imgur.com/hNXcdAu.png)

250-07-12:
I asked titmouse to go try an find some more ore. We also found out how far- more or less -the aquifer stretched. I walled it off with some of that Microline we had before. Should be obvious why. Avoid Urist mcpunch-drunk from mining it out and drowning us all! Though I think such a device would be great for a drowning chamber... We are near and ocean after all... Hmm.

The Goblin trade Liaison has arrived with the Trade Caravans!
(https://i.imgur.com/nBJQ5XO.png)

07-18:
A goblin, liaison... a GOBLIN. How in Komut did they choose a goblin back at the Tattooed Ship of all things! We've been killing the green bastards and have Snow-goblins up in the northern boarder! What, did the queen get black-mailed for oogling elf butt or something?!
WHY IS IT A GOBLIN!? ... I'm half tempted to kill him.
07-18:
I think better of it and have Tit-mouse go up to the depot to trade off what little goods Viymese and Wunder have been putting together to pass the time.
(https://i.imgur.com/NvkdLtL.png)
After listening in it seems the gobbo has some request from the capital for trade purposes... so, make this crap before the caravan comes next.
(https://i.imgur.com/Xd0mN46.png)

250-07-27:
We've struck a good bit of Iron... Honestly I'm very happy with Urist McGregor's work! We'll need to see about getting him here sometime to give him a silver Mace or something... Maybe a masterwork Steel Axe if I get good enough!... When we actually make the damn forges!
A lot of Iron actually! Holy Komut above!

Shown below is Titmouse digging away at Hematite. Behind Titmouse is a corridor of jewels and limonite, an iron ore.
(https://i.imgur.com/eb5w009.png)

250-09-04:
Good Kumot... I'm glad to be busy under the earth, I barely heard the elephants over the hills up north! If they weren't as thick as a High-wood trunk and we had an actual military I'd be telling the guys we'd be getting fresh meat! But... I'd rather not have something akin to the myths of old happen here.

(https://i.imgur.com/4uliovg.png)

Otherwise the Forges are up and by the time my rule as overseer is passed over to someone else well, I hope to be making some armor for the dwarfs and some good weapons actually... By the way, the lever in the Dining room will raise the bridges effectively locking us in and goblins out if we're attacked. I don't expect the forges to be as they are, I think they'll be moved at some point but, for now. We've our anvils set up! Time for me to set some ores up to be smelted.
(https://i.imgur.com/W1bSbYl.png)


250-09-15, mid-Autumn:
Kumot's wrath we've hit an Aquifer wall again... The stone held firm but... if we mine the spot above it, we'll have to contend with water. And with how our fortress is set up, that'd again be a death sentence.
(https://i.imgur.com/owp8tSO.png)

This also shows some of the previous spots where I dug out what I could.
(https://i.imgur.com/COayzan.png)

250-10-06, Winter:
Well, my rule was fairly short, I lost a whole month and a half! But... I won't twist the rules and extent my stay in the postion like some aluminum-loving noble rooster-monger.
Here's the fortress at the start of Winter. The grates are for dwarfs to walk across and get a bit of sun.The way the earth works it also helps with keeping us cool and fairly warm. The constant air-flow is really helpful! Especially when Viymese decides to enjoy Raw plump helmets for breakfast, brunch,lunch and dinner! Masterworks or not, your farts stink woman!
(https://i.imgur.com/noltQpu.png)

10-27:
Hey, we've got tin too! Murfs Urist McGergor! If I ever meet him again I am going to hug him till it hurts! He's given us the spot most dream of getting! Iron, Copper, gold, tin, All sorts of jewels! This shall be the envy of the north! The grand Jewel of the south! HAHAHA!

250-11-01:
After mining so much, I've come to the conclusion that we've setteled on a lava flow of sorts... There is so much Mica! Mica is a metapmorphic stone and is rather pretty. Otherwise it's useless... Good for crafting though.
(https://i.imgur.com/dDTLzeD.png)

250-12-01:
Well it's a month till my time is over. I've decided to start some bronzeworks adn maybe we could have some fun with bronze satutes... Who knows. Otherwise I'm thinking of gettin back into my craft by making iron swords for a militla later down the line to use in the event of an invasion!

Right, so, after a week or so, I'm saying.. Murf it. Here's the save file if anyone wants to give it a go! :)

https://sadsdasadsad/asdassad/sadasdsad/asdsdasdsda/rasddasds.zip

It'll start you off a few days into the second year because I forgot I had the game running for a second while I was posting. So... whoops.

At this point I'm probably going to post again for poops an giggles, since no one else seems to want to try even though people seemed to have enjoyed the posting! xD

Right, that's it!

Going to start continuing this as a fortress for anyone to make suggestions. Those that make a suggestion will be dwarfed.
If anyone wants to get in and play for a year an then let me play from that or start the blood-line lemme' know~! :)

I'll get something put together and posted on the weekend.

I am reading the topic and I'm familiar with the game (that Minecraft monument I posted one time was first conceived and built when DF got z-levels) but my computer doesn't handle it these days which is why I haven't taken a turn.  Catmen and goblin liasons huh, DF has sure changed since I played it last.

well the Fort is in it's early stages so it's CPU light ATM. So, you'd likely be able to run it if you want to give RiddleBells a go.
Also, I have NO idea about the Goblin Liasion... Seriously... Maybe they kidnapped a goblin or a goblin slave attoned for it's blood-sins or something. As for the Catmen, well. no secret, I'm a furry so. That's more of a joke really. :P

EDIT:: The save files ARE NOT BROKEN IT SEEMS SO I COULD USE THE NEWEST EDITION OF DF!!! WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!
Also, happy Turkey-day for people in the USA. :)

Welp, I'm the permanent overseer I suppose now... No one wants the position and no one has been making any sort of requests so... I'm going to be taking to it permanently. So, first plan I had in mind was starting to train our Metelson an furnace dwarves and making sure our miners don't get cave adapted. Seriously, I don't want all the dwarves vomiting over themselves! God the smell of some of the cave-adapted dwarves was horrendous!

251-01-11
Holy crap... how much GOLD is there?! This is like the fifth uristing vain of the crap!!! It's good for trade but urist-all else, Silver can be made to maces! I mean... COME ON!!!
Otherwise I tested the "Defenses" (read: Lock ourselves in till the baddies go away) and it was a success!

251-01-14
Well, Wunder- who is now going to be called the Wonderous Wandering Wacker as a profession -is going to be our military man! He came at me demanding to be placed in a squad an so, I thought, why not have everyone train in the winter? Nothing happens much, not traders and I honestly don't need people dying, so. Why not train ourselves a bit? He got to choose what we do so, he wanted Axes and Axes is what we'll have. Since I want to save our Iron for better weapons and Armor I'll get some Bronze Axes up for ourselves at least.
Avantinia was egear to join up as well, so, when we can get some better bodies I'll put'em into the military full-time.
 . . .
251-01-15
Planned out a barracks for the military later down the line to use. Again to avoid the URSITING VOMIT!!! Komut, every time I think about it the whole smell of Stakecounsel comes back to me. It was terrible, even when the vomit chilled from the snow!

251-02-14
Well some time has passed and we've gotten started on making the Barracks... I need to get a bridge made to avoid having creatures come in during a siege.. We don't need'em coming through that thank you very damn much.

I honestly don't know. The gates are closed though and people are allright. The Fey-uristing-stoneworker has his shop I thi- Oh sweet, he's going to make something it seems from the mason's shop.

HE'S CHANGED, KILL THE DEMON!! KILL IT QUICK!!! QUICK QUICK QUICK!!! KILL IT AVANITIA!!!
I ordered the bridge open and had everyone charge for the ursting goblin-lover!

I think we'll need to put the wood-cutter down though... I don't even know how long he has.

So, since I don't want my wood-cutter to be killing people and making MORE weremoose, I'm going to seal him up till he dies.

251-03-03

So, I'm wrong but hey, maybe the were-moose could be usefull. I'm sending him to the ass end of the north to look into the Goblins up there, and hopfully DIE... I do not want to have a weremoose chomping my people! I'm sorry Izum... You're banished indefinately! Or I'm going to use you as a galdiator for a fight-pit... Dunno, at this point in time though? You go die.

251-03-14
Holy uristing beard the gal did it! She came back alive... auh... OKay. I'm sending her out AT ONCE. I do not need her to keep everyone! And she has a book. What?! HOW DID SHE DO IT?!

251-03-21

A'right... So we've had a good few mining accidents, this... this isn't good. I'm going to have to think of a better way of clearing the rock out. Murfs.

(https://i.imgur.com/JFPM9OY.jpg)
By the way I've been making a new dining room with a library in mind for later~!
Lets hope I can use it... somehow. I also have been sending the WereMoose out to explore everywhere and sent him off, AGAIN, to raid the snowgoblins up north... Cause why not *** off the goblins, right?

251-04-10
Well, I'm setting up a farm-cavern in the sand. Mostly to keep some of the rams and ewes save when we FINALLY get some spores up from the caverns when we find them for the animals to graze and pull the farmers inside more often.

Suicide Mission:
I have no idea how she's still alive... AND HE *** TURNED WHEN SHE GOT BACK ***!
That's it.. I'm ordering her to the bridge... She is going to Die... Or I'm sending her off back to the goblins!


251-05-04

I sent out the Wackers to go and kill some of the giant lions for training purposes... Oh it's fun to watch... These big ol' kitties are so afraid of little midgets! GET'EM WUNDER! DON'T FALL, GET'IM... AIM FOR THE GROIN!!!

Limestone-22-251

traders came! Not much else to report at the moment!

(https://i.imgur.com/q6CQSym.jpg)

We also found out from the traders that the rumor had it that Zum Credgild had been captured by the Goblins up north on the mission I sent her on... Heh. That's fine by me, now I don't need to worry about my dwarves becoming moose-munch!

HERE'S PART 2 OF YEAR 251! WOOO!

Spoiler

Some while later.


251-09-05

Remember how I talked about the dining room? Well, It's good off without a hitch and now I'm planning to get the rooms for the Fooddwarfs and then some made up, that way they can easily go to work, back from work and fall asleep tot he smell of their own hand made delights!

(https://i.imgur.com/oyG0x4K.jpg)

I've also set up a well for water and cleaning purposes and set up a Hospital... Komut and Armok know we'll be likely to need it as we find more gold and make more goodies... I mean, honestly, what are we expecting at some point? Hippies to come dancing to us? Oh hell no, it'll be goblin McGreedyGrump coming to take the gold and stab our heads open!

Oh by the way...

(https://i.imgur.com/5sGxnIb.jpg)

Forgot to mention that a Werebull had come... and gone. Traders killed it before leaving. WOOOHOOOO NO MORE SUICIDE MISSIONS! HUZZAH!
though, that does make me wonder about setting up an ambush squad for raids and expoditions out to the world... maybe *** the goblins off more, heh.

251-10-11

Ah well, I've gotten a warehouse set up, The bricks we've been making can stay in the workshops- they just take up useless space... -and now we should have a good few bins in there and able to store all the good stuff deep for it to be save and the rest, not so deep so it's easy to get to for traders or otherwise! Likewise I've been busy with an idea for when royalty comes... Or for my own tomb. I'm well aware I'm not exactly the most liked person being a Catman. So... might as well live it up while I can!

(https://i.imgur.com/YOL19qz.jpg)

If anything I can start making a few coffins for the dwarves to see their fallen in the halls of our temples and walk-ways.

(http://i.imgur.com/c2iIcBt.jpg)

251-11-06

I got wind of a weremoose outside... It was mualing and elephant to death. Before It got to the fortess gates though I got everyone in. I'll keep everyone in for a day to see where it goes... At the moment all we know is where the elphant trumpeting is coming from. It's not... pretty. Muffled it can be heard the closer you get to the farms.

(https://i.imgur.com/nDGsJdq.jpg)

251-12-16

(https://i.imgur.com/Cvd4SIF.jpg)

So, this has been an interesting few months. We're suddenly popping babies out like it's going out of style! Allready, several women in the fortress- including Titmouse I think... I've really lost track. Either way, it's a boom for babies!


251-12-22

Ooh, just before the new-year a ranger goes fey! Drooling an screaming in some insperation, he took to a craftsdwarf shop! Let's see what the uristing numb-nut's gone and done!

(https://i.imgur.com/RQv24VC.jpg)

And success! Let's see what the Ursitng Fey-squealer makes.

(https://i.imgur.com/ZVhQMeX.jpg)

252-01-03

(https://i.imgur.com/Rzms6sP.jpg)
Well, with This lovely Amulet the Likot has made:

(https://i.imgur.com/L7zCf0s.jpg)

That's a good start to the start of the year... Maybe I'll start woking on that gold and seige staging area.
It'll be helpfull with dealing with goblins and can allow our dwarves to actually kill them! Maybe I can use the ocean and Aquifer to my advantage.
I don't know, I'll ask some of the others and see what they say.

Here's a look at the fortress as it stands for the second year!

Spoiled for Room
Spoiler
Top with some ideas
(https://i.imgur.com/MjVCejI.jpg)
Farm area
(https://i.imgur.com/KE64FFd.jpg)
Smithy/Coal factories (pipes not shown)
(https://i.imgur.com/oXm21nY.jpg)
Hospital area
(https://i.imgur.com/rPvnFVp.jpg)
Living quarters with older dining room and switches. Tavern made to replace it but, still in service as a meeting-place.
(https://i.imgur.com/vkPkEyh.jpg)
Tavern/Library complex. Possibly good idea to add rooms and small dining hall with small food stores? Not sure.
(https://i.imgur.com/5ZopvoK.jpg)
The bottom of the library complex with the warehouse shown.
(https://i.imgur.com/ZLfVdH4.jpg)


The rest of the levels are mainly mining and I haven't gotten into the cavern area yet... SO... Again, give me some ideas folks! Lemme' know if you want me to do anything! My a comment or request and I'll add you to the list of dwarves! if I get enough people I'll take a screen-shot of the dwarves that're alive and make a squad of Fourm members! :)

Happy Holiday's folks and yes, This game is still going! I've been busy and have a mod to work on (among other things) so DF has been on the back burner for a while. Now that I've time and actually planned for this, I'll update this with year 3, again, if anyone wants to be the next Overseer let me know.

Polling Time Done

Thinking about making a new world to better take advantage of the raid mechanics and increase stability of the saves. So, if anyone would like to make a comment on the poll or otherwise, let me know! ATM I'm bouncing the idea around and the new update to the thread will be up sometime tomorrow.

YEAR 3 OF RIDDLEBELLS, FOUNDED BY THE VAULT OF TWINKLES!
(https://i.imgur.com/EJ8NsQu.png)
Spoiler

252-01-04
Well, with the new-year celebrations cleaned up and the winter solcitce finally being put to bed. I think it's high-time I work on a more... defendable fortress. We've made a metal industry, we've dwarves that're busy and I'm pretty sure we'll be getting a wave of immigrants at some-point hoping to be in Riddlebells Jewels of the South.

(https://i.imgur.com/ANulOp6.png)

To that end I've decided on working on a murder-hall/ Flood Room. There's a few ways this could be done... I'm also thinking of having the murder-hall seprate, but, we may need the military for the harder creatures of the underground. . . Or were-beasts who don't follow logic and decide to jump over the moat or something!

252-01-14

Well, looking through the survey and doing some experimental digging I've decided to go with a murder-hall that has an emergancy Flushing-System.  I'll set the murder-hall up first, as that's going to be more important. If we can't defend ourselves? I have a few ideas about what to do regarding that... Not sure how it'll work but, hey, I'll make it work one way or another, here's the start of the murder-hall from the fortress prespective.

Below is an image of the murder-pit and very vauge design ideas
(https://i.imgur.com/p6B43FD.png)

I NEED COAL COAL COAL COAL YOU POOR CONDEMNED LITTLE MIDGETS!!!
(https://i.imgur.com/GkQWzF9.png)

252-02-01

Hey, got some Hamster-people caught in a few cages! Not sure what to do about'em but... It'll be something to think about. Maybe I can use'em as bait. They can Learn after-all. Hmmm. Maybe a murder-pit for prisoners of war? Death by hamster-people! Heh... That'd be great. I'd have to think of the design though, I've had issues with poorly designed arenas in other fortresses.

(https://i.imgur.com/Y6rqY1Z.png)

Likewise, we've gotten the work done on supplies and shouldn't be having too many issues with that and cna get our military kitted out into steel here! At least steel weapons if not steel armor. Either way, the supplies have been fixxed~!

(https://i.imgur.com/Hkdc3f5.png)

252-02-16

(https://i.imgur.com/D6KRglv.png)

Hey-hey, we've gotten some new-blood! I wonder how many'll be coming this year... I was expecting them later in the fall actually, not like'a... Now.
Huh
Welp, time to count.

(https://i.imgur.com/UaHWRxe.png)

Hoo-boy, we'll be needing to get more rooms made up, some 27-odd buggers have come in from the north! Well...  At least we have new blood to work the forges and otherwise pull up the buildings for the murder-pit!
 
252-03-16

Well, Tartiflette was tired of people complaining about not having the right cheese, or not having cheese on hand for the meals! So, he took a dwarf- Moses Lucas -and had him put to cheese duty. Why moses? Well, as far as I know I think Moses owes Tartiflette or something invovling Elves. Not sure. Not my circus, not my monkey.
Either way, I gave'im a shop to use up at the Farm-level, might even make him a Hobbit-hole to live in.

Other than that, I've been working on squares for bedroom an been thinking about a grand memoriam for the dead to be placed. I've started work on some small memoriam's that the eventual dead could be placed, but. I think a larger one would be best. Perhaps even some silver an gold Sarcohpigi for the Wackers n' Purprle ludds with their own halls and temples to the patron gods of their squad.

Hmmm, I'll bring it up with the committee sometime.

No no no, oooh no. This is not good, not good, I was expecting the auh... The goblins later, not, not now. Oh no. No no no, Not now! OOOH ARMOK NO!!!

(https://i.imgur.com/GwtSFNX.gif)

(https://i.imgur.com/q5mxCDO.png)

 Or so I thought. Turns out it's a raiding squad come to get some of our loot. Oh wackers! WACKERS!!! TIME TO WACK SOME WONDERING WITTLESS WIMPS AWAY!!! YOU TOO LUDDIC PURPLES LET'S GO!!!

(https://i.imgur.com/ylRBMKP.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/dUDRf7G.jpg)
252-04-08

Welp, that's it! I sent out the wackers n' the  Luddic Purples and that was it! Hell, Wunder shook one of the swordsmen around by his torusers till the poor sod was hit in the skull by a nearby boulder~!
Now time to melt down all the loot!

(https://i.imgur.com/uSRXNx6.png)

After going through the piles it seems they were a bunch of bards. Huh, well, too bad. they are now all dead.

252-05-05
Traders couldn't make it, a boulder had been shoved in the way, so a few mules with goods came in... Still, we've got some news about the armies on the march and things seem to be going well! time to trade some crap!

252-05-18

(https://i.imgur.com/BBdzqAK.png)

Okay, welp, I can't close the gate, and a moose- again -has come! Great! Now we all get to die! augh... Several of the dwarves have gone off to kill the bastard while I've called for the Wackers to get involved! I'm happy to see the dwarves so egeat to defend their home but auh...

(https://i.imgur.com/BhNIPqo.png)

COULD YOU GUYS AT LEAST WAIT FOR THE WACKERS ALLREADY!?!?!
Apparently some of the Luddic Purples were allready out there! So... Hell with it! KILL THE BEAST!

Augh... Already I heard a death-scream, one of the dwarves got bit in the gut.

05-23
Gods, that thing kept us busy for 5 DAYS, good Armok and Komut above we need to work on that... I need to get the wunders to work faster rather than Wack-off so much.

(https://i.imgur.com/3TqHI0h.png)

252-05-27
(https://i.imgur.com/O2bE7Xt.png)

Seems a farmer has been struck with a muse of Komut, let's hope he can make something worth-while... Like a silver club or something.

06-02

He's started to work, and I've started to work on the fortifications and been considering other designs as well.

He made a wooden earring by the way, nothing special about it.

252-06-15

(https://i.imgur.com/jWdtHCe.png)

Well, Seems one of our members of society didn't WANT to be found out as a weremoose, and so now, he dies. It's a dwarf by the name of Kogan Logemkulal, he was one of the many dwarves that had fought the beast. Seems he actually wanted to be part of the beasts culture though! and now we've someone to put down. Gods, this is going to be bad if everyone starts getting infected left an right!

(https://i.imgur.com/vdRL9KH.png)

Wunder dealt the finishing blow, the store-rooms are coated in the blood of the beast, thankfully the food is locked up tight.


252-07-01

Saddly, we've 4 more infected to deal with... At this point, I think It'd be best to make them into a squad and have them be a murder-pit group... Throw a pick down into the murder-hall adn let'em stew there to kill the beasts that fall down into the pit. After a seige is over  they cna go into their assigned pit and stay there, coming out as we need them to.

(https://i.imgur.com/yZVAxPW.png)

I don't know.
But, with the infected everywhere, I've given them tags and gotten them round up. I can't kill them- I'd rather not! -but, I'm sure others wouldn't either. Maybe we can make some sort of visiting area. All sorts of ideas come to mind.

(https://i.imgur.com/J6SXNjs.png)

252-07-24

Seems the traders have come, time to trade! COME ON YOU VOMITING NITS! LET'S GO!

(https://i.imgur.com/kGtr9Oz.jpg)

252-08-03

The doom hall is coming along well and I've gotten a training gound put up for our small seige-squad. Likewise, I'm thinking about the levers that'll be required in managing a flush-system in the case of massive segies... Like-wise, I think we'll need to get some marksdwarves trained up.

(https://i.imgur.com/CtDqmTg.jpg)

252-08-10

(https://i.imgur.com/RtBE1ne.jpg)
This is going to take some time to get used to.

Holy Armok an Kumot's scrotum!!! WHY ARE THERE SO MANY WEREMOOSE?!
The cook's dead now! great! or someone is, I heard the scream. auugh, that is going to be in my nightmares for a while!

(https://i.imgur.com/NyZf97u.jpg)

The caravan gaurds are dealing with him under the birdge... I think I'm going to want to get some spikes in the moat. Maybe make the Moat a spikey blood, corpse pit...

(https://i.imgur.com/h3TUzxH.jpg)

Alebeard has gone full rambo and decided PUNCHING him would be best, instead of, you know, WITH A HAMMER!!!
Gods, Alebeard got bit. He'll need to be locked with the rest.

252-09-05

(https://i.imgur.com/UfRdfp2.jpg)

I'm asking Kumot for decisions on what is to be done about the beasts, I have a plan but, there is more to do. I asked them while they were still sane if they'd like to have a weapon in the pits. They chose collectively to go with Maces. So.. .Since steel is more improtant to me, they'll be given bronze or Silver, haven't decided which.

(https://i.imgur.com/1DCuYYD.jpg)

And it seems they've taken to hear the idea of the murder-pit... Allready we've had to entomb both Ekdromoi and Beobachter, well, at least I have three other migdets to use.

(https://i.imgur.com/x0GM4tg.png)

ALL HAIL THE NEW MURDER-PIT BARON TECHHEAD!


252-10-01

We've a winter artifact here!

(https://i.imgur.com/jcLLxez.jpg)

Let's hope he makes something usefull... Instead of a damn EARING! Gods, I need pointy stabby things, not jewelry! Jewelry is nice, but pointy-stabby things are better~!
But, of course, Nooooooooo. It's a boat. A very pretty boat at least. Sigh.
She want's it, she can keep it.


252-12-22

Well, it's the end of the year. I've gotten all the hall set up, and a training room for the dwarves put together. So, we'll have to see what happens now. Here's the fortress at the end of the year.

I have some plans in mind and will be doing a test of the flush-system, just to see how it goes. Likewise, I hope Techhead doesn't decide to murder his only other frined down there in the pit.

End of year images

Post by: Lakis on January 23, 2018, 07:49:04 PM
Year 253-01-02
I’ve come to the comely little fortress in search of my adopted brother, the catman known as Azmond, and as a human have found my presence to be… Tolerated at best.

However, it seems that they trust me enough that I’m allowed to stay and make myself useful. I think I shall start Smoothing the pathways of the living quarters and making the place look a little more polished. It’ll be hard work, but I think that can be done…

I’ve heard the others talk of making a large storage area for the Smithers to have their ore near-by, but we’ll see what happens… The place is more akin to a colony of ants that talk rather than a Monarchy that the dwarves normally practice in their Moutainhomes…

Year 253-02-06

A horrid smell wafts across the land as dwarves come running into the fortress, “The goblins are here, they’re here!”

A VILE FORCE OF DARKNESS APPROACHES!

The Force was massive, and the stank of unwashed goblin, beak dog, and troll gagged those who didn’t have the stomach for it. I wretched as I looked upon them form the fortress ramparts… “Aye… Th’y ‘ere…”

The dwarves too far out were shut out of the fortress, swarmed and mutilated in short order. Our traps worked and the murderpit performed, the thing is full of the horde as they try to get within the fortress. Creatures are caged in traps meant for the local fauna, and after a few days or weeks... I can't recall...

Nothing. They died in the murder pit, the weremoose driven to transform at the scent of blood...



That's honestly all that's been recorded since then...

The month after, I've gotten a tavern steup in the surface of the fortress reserved for the normies, I've started a number of massive Smoothing and Mining Projects, and I've started work on a Library...


My time as Over-Dwarf of Nokgolrith has been short and full of activity, but I feel that my time is best spent doing my work in the forges. There was also a dwarf who was hit with a mysterious mood, but nothing of great note came of it... Just a Cross-bow club combo, nothing more...

Below is a link to the album I've made recording the state of the Fortress at this time.

https://imgur.com/a/lhc5T


OOC:

There's likely more I've forgotten, but I don't have the time or inclination to honestly keep persuing the game at this time. Heck, I barely manage to touch Star sector or any other game...

Well, Dewey found me- surprisingly the fellow is still on stils and thinks I'm his brother -and it's nice to have him! He was a good break, and did pretty well. I didn't have to give him too much help, aum, save fro the siege. after that though, the bugger didn't do very well so I took over for him part way through the year. Seeing what he has been doing I think he was doing pretty well if a bit, overboard. Particularly with running the mining operations, still, he did very well for what it was! I'm happy to say he succeded! Even if he gave it back to me ultimately.

Also, the "pets" of goblins and beakdogs didn't want to be sold off, so, we've decided to kill them instead. Bad gobbos get put-down!

One of the mini midgets went off screaming from his room like a piglet when he got an idea. Kamut please give my ears back, I need them... and please kill that kid's vocals! half the hall was on the floor groaning from the pain of the little flocker.

The wall is done by the way, we're going to have to make a "lid" of sorts, prevent some of the more... Enthusiastic, dwarves from climbing OVER and into a pit of murder when we get the marksdwarves set up at some point.  Also, I've begun to work on finding some more limonite an hematite ore near the furnace layers.

Welp, the mini-midget made an amulet, useless, but, atleast it's pretty! I'm going to look into getting some display cases going... Have a Artifact-temple of sorts maybe, yeah, yeah... that'd be good.

Goblins came, about 4 all seemed to have been pedophiles though... and thankfully didn't get ANYONE but, I'll be damed the bastards got away. Still, I think it's time to pay  a few "respects" to a nearby goblin place pit.
Particularly since the goblins seem to be on a war-march. The wunders and lordly purples will be sent out to a little place called...

Citysins is a small settelment... While I don't think they'll be up for the larger mass of goblins later I'd also like them not tobe some ass-long-months away from the fortress in the event of a seige! So, a little home bound raiding would be good I feel. Might even make a squad of the best and send them out for the more interesting artifacts.

Well, the traders are off. they kept asking for an artifact! Oh HELL no were we going to let them have Yoshi's crossbow! The ursiting fellow hasn't even gotten to shoot it yet! I gave them double their profits adn sent them off or, rather I let them get back to chatting up.
While I was outside managing some of the wall a Beak-dog and several goblins actually got loose! Surprisnigly... Unsurprisingly, the dwarves made short work of the green bastard.

Wunder... seems to have been killed in the mission to Citysins. I don't know what to expect there, but... I'm asking a few of the dwarves if anyone could volunteer to take the job. A dwarf by the name of "Abyz" took on the job. Let's hope he can find wunder's corpse. . . He was a close friend here to many in the fortress, and one of the first dwarves to help me settele this place. I'll be damned if beak-dogs get to dine on his corpse.

the migrants have come... Usually this would be great but... I really don't know.  If there's enough of them I'll make a spear-dwarf squad full-time. Always good to have a few stabbers, maybe swords instead.
Wunder's tomb is almost ready and I've been making Steel armor for Abyz to use on his way out.

I wonder if Wunder is behind this. . .  A dwarf is possessed adn has taken a mason's shop. AByz's armor is almost done... Now for a weapon.

He made a rather impressive bed, it's not very interesting though.

Welp, it's almost the end of the year, we've a hammer ready and then some for Abyz, but he'll need to wait for the road to be finished to avoid any troubles. Shouldn't be too long. It'll help keep the fortress safe to boot, the "road" is more of a floor, but, it'll keep trees from growing too close.

I was really hoping to avoid having a were-creature again, but... of course, fate has other ideas. A were bull has come!
(https://i.imgur.com/4TpfDkK.jpg?1)
The Ursiting flocker killed  Starschulz and finally after several deaths (and then some) the military waddled up from the doors. Honestly, I'm going to have to make a squad specifically for fast attacks... Spear-men will be made up, maybe it's time ot make the Hegemonic guard exactly that.  I'll set up a Persian Pursits squad for personal training adn have vet from one of the other squads be a full-time trainer.

With the 4 infected still alive, I've put them all into a squad and sealed them up... Or will be before they turn. after they turn, we'll give them maces and put them in the pit... Maybe expand it to avoid issues of self-implosion of the squad.

The rest of the journal is torn or soaked in some blood.
. . .
After this, the journal shows only minor entries of the fortress and basic upkeep for the next few months as things are put together for Abyz to serach for wunder's corpse. In the book are several designs that will be considered later... The journal is left un-touched for some while.
Inside there's many sketches of the fort with notes on deisgn and other subjects that aren't legible.

Due to a bug- or my incompetentce -or something else entirely the fortress is flooded. The back up saves are broken and so the fortress in the fourm game is now null. . .
Spent the better part of the hour in the Kanta's den in discord trying to figure the urist out WHY and HOW and coming to only a few straws to grasp at.
So... Yeah.
New world, new fort.  One without a Ursiting Aquifer-layer that suddenly re-Ursting-activates!
As optimistc an loopy as I am generally. This was painfull and frustating. Losing is fun, but only when it's something you did within the game. Not from  a sudden change in the rules.
No aquifers and suddenly Several ursting dozen of them.
So.
Yeah.


There'll be a new world and I'll take a few votes here and the Discord about what to do. I'll release Metelson's shortly after.

The First year of: Walledpuzzle "Adilluslem"

Spoiler
250-01

I really need to lay off the shrooms, that dream was Ursiting trippy. I had a dream I was being flooded out in some sort'a... hall. Everything was twinkling.

250-01-10

I was traded off to the dwarves of Teacheredwheels. A trading town it seemed. The elves didn' last long and I was given a home an a job. One of the crazy-cat-ladies convinced them to lemme stay-on rather than be butchered or gelded. Instead, I was put on as an apprentice smith, something I excelled in strangely. So, we were sent down south into enemy territory to watch the western-peaks of The Eternal Mountain range by the Tempted Plains and Untamed Hills.



250-02-22

Welp, we're here finally... It's a nice peak an we've iron in the rocks! it is EVERYWHERE!  I wonder how much I'll be able to learn on my own though. For some reason I think I'll be fine but, there's still that nagging voice.
Oh well, time to start digging.

(https://i.imgur.com/j9ss8fF.jpg)

250-02-23

Well, we're starting to dig into the mountain-peak. the walls of Magnetite are awesome to view! The pines and fir trees we have only further enhance that sense of awe... Really, I don't want to go back under-ground... I'll ask the dwarves if they wouldn't mind the idea of an above ground fortress.

(https://i.imgur.com/285L6ZV.jpg)

I'll get some plan's brought up for some of the others.

253-04-04

We lost Chmini today... We heard the crash an that was it. The guy didn't get so much as a scream out before being burried under a mound of chert. We'll work on a tomb for him, seal it up when all is said an done.

(https://i.imgur.com/no7kz4q.jpg)

250-04-13

Cums picked up Chimni's pick an started to help with digging... I hope he doesn't die next. But, I've been working on smoothing out Chimni's tomb. It's a modest little pit in the ground really. But, I think it'll be fitting for him. neltab agreed before going off to the new dorms to sleep in one of the beds.
Surge has his offices now an we can start working on making some more materials to build the first buildings for the castle belay I suppose.

250-06-10

Welp, we're getting the trade-depot set up an the fortress is coming along well for the most part.  We'll have to make a few towers outside the fortress for the elves when they start getting whiff of our opperations here. Eventually I hope we've enough man-power to keep the ground to ourselfves. The trees are a boon in charcol for smithing an food alike.

(https://i.imgur.com/Wu75Qj1.jpg)

We've here the depot across from the Hegemonic Guards' Barracks. Some of the migrants we got also are legendry weaponsmiths! I wonder what they made on their way to greatness... REally, this is going to be a boon later on when we get the forges up finally.

250-07-017

Welp, the traders came, nothing worth while an having no depo, the liasion came up, told us what he could an then they went off I think.

250-7-18

Oooh, guess not! Let's see what we can get put together for'em real-quick.

250-07-24

welp, the walls for the fortification are coming up. Should help keep us safe from the outside. Mabye we can make a few homes up top as well for the farmers... Still haven't found the caverns yet.

(https://i.imgur.com/2KDdvod.jpg)

250-08-14

(https://i.imgur.com/UwfIyoJ.jpg)

Migrants came. Not many, but, hey. More the merrier.

250-10-01

Welp, the castle rooms had been hallowed out. I'll be getting a room near the forges. The forges will be placed outside in on the roof-tops of the inner buildings. Likewise we've gotten the farms put together.

(https://i.imgur.com/wFH06ZT.gif)

A lot of stuff has happened really... I guess we'll need to get the military training up on some spears at least. We can get them going on training spears so, why not?

250-10-14

(https://i.imgur.com/azA3cPn.jpg)

Welp, woke up to the scream of a monkey and the howling of dogs... Time for the Cums to get to work it seems, with whatever dwarves we have... Honestly, I can't wait till we get some forges going.

(https://i.imgur.com/tkcs9Ua.jpg)

It was great fun to watch the Hegemonic Cats to after the monkeys, heck, I even got a punch or two in and surge, Kebul above. Remind me not to tick'im off. He made a monkey's head burst into GORE!... Not going to be washing that off easy, ueagh.

250-12-18

A cave-in happened, but, hey, it's fine. No one is dead, wikifish was a little too close for comfort but, hey, it's fine from what I can see.  the forges are up by the way! and we're starting to work on getting the hegeomnic Cats some actual spears an armor going! I'll be working ont he armor and another dwarf will be working on the weapons. Maybe titmouse himself.


251-01-01

With the end of the year, things have gone well. A murder-pit entry has been set up for when the elves finally get wind of this place an we'll need to start work on getting a round'the'clock watch-men going... Maybe have dogs assined to every dwarf. I dunno. I'll have to figure it all out. In the mean time here is a look at the last year of the fortress.

Maybe have dogs assined to every dwarf. I dunno. I'll have to figure it all out. In the mean time here is a look at the last year of the fortress.

(https://i.imgur.com/XqPErxE.jpg)

Netllab is getting the bridge done... Finally. time to get working on that an then some of the other features of the fortress. The pit has begun to be smoothed out as well and I really have to wonder what we'll be doing with the elves that get stuck in that pit... ... We're also going to need to work on getting some wooden-spikes on the bottom of it or for traps. Maybe use their own weapons against them, hehehe. Augh... At the moment I need more coal.

251-02-02(?)

Ended up fighting some damn monkeys... it wasn't very pleasent. The damn things got me pretty good in the teeth a few times. We'll have to start sheering the sheep for some wool. The damned primates got my clothes an ripped them to shreds! luckily I didn't lose a tooth or nothing, so that's good. I'll make a few more bits of armomr for the dwarves and make some metal spears for a defense training force of sorts later down the line. This far into enemy territory, we're going to need it some how or another.

(https://i.imgur.com/3BBm7nz.jpg)

251-02-24

Migrants! a whole-
Uristing armok on a platter for the elven king... Welp, Nelttab is dead. I'm thinking it's from a tree as he was digging out from under the ground. I'm not sure thought... I'm going to stop all mining operations to clear-cut the woods near-by to try an avoid a similar incident.

(https://i.imgur.com/y4Qebn7.jpg)

... we have 23 migrants I think last time I counted. lost count when I heard the cave-in. For armok's sake.

251-03-06

Ho-ho! Seems that wikifishy has a idea in that pink squishy head of his. Let's hope it's any good... If we've the right workshop for him at leas- oh, mason's shop. Okay! Let's see what he gets.

(https://i.imgur.com/XACJuwH.jpg)

An with a boluder of chert an some Magnetite ore he's off to work.
that's good.

251-21-03

Time for the Hegemonic Cat's to prove their training... A were-kangaroo came up to the forterss, a poor labourdwarf caught sight of him before it got too close to the fortress.... Oh dear.

251-04

I've lost track of time... we lost cums, abyz and a whole lot of other good dwarves to that damned beast. We were able to kill the wretch though, and vengeance was ours. Avantaia had been bitten, an while I wished they had lived, I'm glad they didn't suffer long. The beast bent them into a preztal before running off... I've asked wiki-fish to find a tunnle and we've started work on getting into the water down below the surface.

Hopefully no-one dies while we dig a proper hospital for them.


251-04-02

Welp, we've hit another cavern, this one was closer... the only way I can think to help deal with it is to get into it and seal it up so we can make a functioning hospital. This'll take a bit of consideration.
The good news is the church to the goddess Lek, the goddess of Fortresses. it is a small, humble dewelling, but it will suffice the goddess I'd like to think.

251-04-13

Good Kebul, Wikifish decided to try an live up to his name an ended up in the underground lake we were trying to tap for water! luckily for him, he wasn't lying when he said he could swim.
He dug his way out an hopfully we can block the tunnel up to avoid any surprises coming out from that way... Otherwise, we found the cavern, awesome!...

(https://i.imgur.com/NTi39OK.jpg)

Not much else though, not a single ore to be seen it seems. Still, we're buried in iron here, so, heh, i'm not too worried.

251-04-15

An elf-hater by the name of Oddom engigmuthkat, a goblin, wishes to join us... and I'll not say no, infact, several of the others agreed to this as well.

251-04-19
Oh great armok why! WHY WHY WHY!  A dwarf was bitten an had tried to hide it and the uristing elf-lover has now turned into a were-kangaroo!!! OH ARMOK WHY!!!

(https://i.imgur.com/fZHtBta.jpg)

251-04-21
I've banished him... We don't need him around here... I told him to pack up and go into the elven fortresses to the east, to go out killing as many of them as he could.

May Armok grant him a proper death.

(https://i.imgur.com/tHgyP2g.jpg)

251-05-01

Welp... The Ursiting lover didn't want to go, infact, he begun to wale on the helpless metelson dwarf that was resting in a bed!
Actually, he was killed by the Magical Counting Shell (I still have no idea why she wants to be called that...) an several others who heard the poor metelsondwarf's screams.

Well... That's one problem solved, right?

--- Some time later ---

251-05-22

We've 8 more migrants... well, let's hope they all can work an don't mind all the corpses... Speaking of which I need to have someone make some coffins... I'll be damned if I let the buzzards an birds around her peck corpses dry. That, actaully gives me an idea. The temple.

(https://i.imgur.com/xJC1P6k.jpg)

The temple will house our dead below it's floors, yes... YES, lek- the god of Fortresses, War, and Valor -has given us the Mighty Sanctum to house the dead, and to comfort the living of the war that we must wage!

I'll be hard at work making the weapons for lek's Luddities....


251-06-21

We had a troll kill one of the visiting monster-hunters, poor sod died squealing like a pigglet.

251-07-02

Autumn is here, meaning the supply caravan might come through, then again it might not. Who knows... as it stands, we just need to get soem stuff made for'em.

251-07-14

... They came, and then left just as quickly, what the hell? Oh well, the liasion told us they had gotten a massive order from the queen to go north bound for a trade or something, I dunno... I just overheard something.

251-08-05

Welp, we've 7 more migrants who've come to join our cause... We'll see what we can do with'em, if anything I'll have'em be labour dwarves, All of them. We need people to put the watch-towers together for the Elven mence, to avoid having them sneak up on us... I remember their tactics, and I don't want a repeat of them.

(https://i.imgur.com/LKzKBC0.jpg)


251-09?

I gave th order to make some wooden spikes for the trap-pit... Going to bed.

251-09-25

A dowarf went fey today, took a craftdwarves shop. not sure what they're gonn'a do but, hey,so long as Moldath makes something.


Months pass, the journal is filled with random scribbles and quick doodles. A frenzy of activity seems to have taken over the cat-man...


Welp, heres the end of the fortress for year 251.
I got the top of the castle done, needs a roof so the uristin' dwarves don't go rambo off the rook. That or hatches an we'll use it as a look-out, who knows...

(https://i.imgur.com/P6Rxy9m.png)

Starting a kill-zone roof in that little area of black near the fortifications to the front... I also have a few grates in place to try an combat cave-adaption, which has been working so far.

(https://i.imgur.com/OR0c8KT.png)

Making beds for all the rooms and I'll be making more rooms while I'm at it on the south-side of the fortress. Maybe noble rooms. North-bound we've a few outlying watchtowers I have in mind, that and I've beem making it inpossible to noramlly climb up the sides of the fortress. AS far as I can tell i have been at least...

(https://i.imgur.com/3Lk7YJ3.png)

An then we've the bottome kill-zone/Court-yard/Trade/Barracks thing I have going...
It isn't going very well at the moment, I've monkey corpses to clean, dwarves to bury still.. But I've the briges ready to go up in the event of a seige. :)

(https://i.imgur.com/zV7NeGm.png)

The hatches to the south which are those gray blocks with a "Cent" sign lead down to the murder-hall which leads to the murder-pit.Eventually there'll be more *** here, at the moment it's a hospital, some storage, and the start of the murder-pit. as well as a tomb I have to aum, empty, as I'd rather not have Fantastic Chimni rotting there forever.

(https://i.imgur.com/fv1sw2G.png)

The murder pit itself is a series of blocks that'll have elves go over traps an then hopefully fall off into a pit where they will then starve to death or die trying to climb out. Because *** the elves.
If they don't die being speared on wood spikes on first way down.
Beacuse agian;

Damn the elves.

This is the VERY bottom of the pit and the hall of traps that an elven army would have to go through to get to us.... I'm thinking of filling it with sharp pointy wood, or more appropriately. Iron Axe traps.

(https://i.imgur.com/B1SMFec.png)

And I will NEVER run out of iron practically speaking... I've *** loads of it. I'm even using it at the moment for certian crafts- mainly coffins. As a magnetite coffin for dwarves that've died seems very fitting... Or a High-wood casket just to *** of the elves further in death.
I have 3 whole levels of it.
aaaaaaaan yet nothing else!... So, that's fun.
well... I've gems, but, yeah, not many gem cutters at the moment.

As for the dwarves well, here's a list of those that I've finally gotten a coffin for.

(https://i.imgur.com/iG3KXCg.png)

and here's a list of those that're still alive. if you're wanting to be dwarfed let me know. I may have missed some names, so, let me know if you want to be named and I'll do so.  if you want to die I'll put you in the military or mining, and otherwise I'll just make you a crafter or something I need... Or a useless baby, I don't know.

252-01-01:

It's the first of the year. So far the end of year celebrations have gone well and all the dead have been put to rest... Well, nearly. We've still got a corpse or two that're out in the field wasting away till one of the very drunk dwarves finally comes out to get the corpse.

(https://i.imgur.com/SagXAMh.jpg)

The temple has been started as well... I'll need to get some silver or something to make a few statutes.

252-01-09
Well, well, the year starts off well with a child- a baby at 3! -having struck with an idea! It seems Lumash the god of Chaos has given this scamp an idea. Let's hope the fellow makes something worth talk in the halls.

It was a craft'sDwarf shop they took and then some wood before getting to work.

Let's hope it's a menacing spike...

252-01-15

Bah, it was a ring... Worthless for us, but the ring is made of wood and anything that'll tick off the elves the better.

It's the end of the month and migrants have come from the north!

252-02-05
About... 20 more refugees... We need to get the fortress locked up. But this point I think we've enough people that the elves won't be happy to simply ignore us.

252-03-12
Welp, I've almost finished the fortifications in the front and the Kill-zone is almost done. Like-wise the front-most watch-tower is almost complete, just need's a cap and a living area in the bottom for the guards I plan to station there permanently.

Otherwise, we're on our way to fighting the elven menace.

252-04-02

Well, the fortifications are done and I'm starting work on the murder-hall. We'll need to start working on the spikes at the bottom as well. I'm pretty sure that most elen bastards will live, but, who knows really till someone DOES finally fall down into that pit.

ooh, the end of summer and we've gotten a fey dwarf! I hope he makes something good! Now back to making these iron picks... I have an idea for them for the military in mind...

06-05

Well, he finished the bones but'a.... they're sort'a plain. Oh well, at least they look pretty.

07-11

The Traders have come! hopfully they won't just up and leave again... It's really starting to get to me when they just... up an decide to leave! Why come here if you're just going to LEAVE?!?!

(https://i.imgur.com/28coAWw.jpg)

Still, other than that I've gotten a chain-gang of dwarves digging out the oodles of Magnetite we have under our feet. When the Elves come- and they WILL come -They'll be met with iron bolts galore~!
Now for trading...

Ooh, a jeweler got possessed today in the Library of all places and begun speaking in tongues! ... Huh. let's see what he's driven to do.

he made a tiger-eye Hatch... I think it'll be good to have it part of the fortress as the entry to a royal's tomb or something.... Whom I kidding though... let's see what this fucker put on it.

252-09-18

Well, It's rather plain frankly. Nothing on it. that was a miss.

252-10-?
A bit has happened. I've gotten the Siege-dwarves working on their shooting with catapults. and I've begun considering designs for a ballistia gallery to shoot down the road that leads out of town instead of a singular ballistia... for sake of ease though, I've decided to leave it be for now at one.

252-12-12

Two months have gone by, I took up drawing a while ago... It's quiet theraputic, I think that's the word the Medical-dwarf came up... He heard it from one of the foreigners.

Therapy would probably be good for a few other people as well but, the idea isn't taking too well for some. We've been dealing with the aftermath of the were-lizard and three people were infected.

Two of them in the pit are now dead.

The fellow goes by the name of Chroma in the holds. Very quiet and doesn't seem to have any friends... still, he's down there now with a spear and enough armor to do his job, nothing more, nothing less.

252-12-22

Day's have continued to pass and people are still rattled but, nothing bad so far has happened, so that's good... We've begun to set up the tombs for those killed by Counting Conch and we've begun to work on getting the catacombs started.  We've also found some more dwarves that were killed by the Magical Counting Conch.

it's not a very good situation but, with the new year comes new growth.

(https://i.imgur.com/IbW0HkI.jpg)

Heres the end of the fortress as it stands with several dwarves now in tombs- or going to be -and I'll be working on getting the murder-hall put together at some point with either a seige-engine battery or just a bunch of spikes going up n' down on random plates and bridges retracting randomly as well.

Either way, this is all sort of what it is being what it is.

Oh who are we kidding? The Uristing tree-humpers found us...
We'd be good to have a few trolls around, strong folk they are.
Year 4 of Adiluslem




Spoiler
253-01-01:

A dwarven Child was Sacrificed to the Were-beast as the god of chaos had demanded. It was rather short notice as far as the presit said... but I think the presit just wanted to shut the brat up about how he almost saw a carp for the umptenth time.

(https://i.imgur.com/2IR0YeJ.jpg)

253-01-06:
been running out of iron bars- heh, and yet we're buriued in the stuff... I'll ask the guys if they can't get to work on more bars.

253-01-11

Things are getting back to normal and to start off the new year a dorf has gotten an idea! I dunno what, But I can see him screaming away in a work-shop about things he needs.
(https://i.imgur.com/pXdyOuD.jpg)

He's starting to hoard bones...
Some Magnetite and walnut wood, ooh and some chert too...

-Some days pass without note-

253-01-20:
I got myself with a hammer today, the thumb is a bit purple but, otherwise doing' allright.. Oh, an the screamer finally stopped. he got everything he needed and stopped speaking tongues. Now he's huffing like a mad-man on cave-gas.

ah-hah! he's done... it's, a very boring bone sowrd, still, it's sharp enough to cut meat, it works.

(https://i.imgur.com/vCRR3um.jpg)

253-02-11:
We're starting work on some of the outer defenses a bit more, as well as a possible tower to catch the ambushing elves before they get too close to the fortress. part of hte plan is to breed many dogs and have a single dog out in the feilds trained as a hunting dog. They'll sniff the blood of elves and die in the process of finding them I'm sure but, it'll be a warning and worth-while at that.
(https://i.imgur.com/OACp6V1.png)
Also some migrants have come to help!


253-02-12:

Some 20 of them came around... we also put away many of the ghouls that had come up from the fortress. Likewise we need to get a few tombs going for the more noble of the dwarves in our populace. Like our mayor for instance... and me of course.

253-02-24:

We've gotten the bottom of the guard-tower set up, now time to set upa smaller... I'd say... outpost? It's not really an outpost, but, a room, dinning room and a few niceties are set up for a small squad to live under the tower.

Likewise, I've begun to work on the jail and the Training Barracks fot the new squad: The Dickerson Punchers
they'll take in some civilians for a year and then send'em off, but, I think for now I need to get'em set-up to help hold down the elves when they finally come.

253-03-15:
(https://i.imgur.com/RbxTVOa.jpg)

We got a good show today from the Luiddic Launchers. A few of the giant sparrows were getting into our feilds at the front of the fortress. It's was great fun watching the feathered bastards fall from the sky.

253-03-22:
In hind-sight... maybe making a bunch of bloody pools wasn't a good idea... oh dear gods a beast screamed and we've caught sight of a black were-lizard ragging towards the fortress! They're thick and killed a marksdwarf, but the dead marksdwarf set the bastard up to fail...

253-03-28:

Meme's been bitten... as well as several others... The burrow should've been called... People should've come in... but... nothing was heard.... I've talked the guys into making a southern-tower for scouting, if nothing else and put a dog in it as a distraction or something.

253-04-10:
So, we've gotten most of the injured dwarves in the pit... I don't know of Chorma will survive having his riegn challanged or not, but, it shouldn't matter in the least. I hope that when all is said and done... Well, the dwarves in the pit go quickly and painlessly, or survive to kill the goblins and elves that will eventually come.

(https://i.imgur.com/9qjLvnH.jpg)

253-04-13:
Some good news though, the human caravan's arrived! So we can get some more stuff to make metal flaskes an all sort's a things, that's for sure.  In the mean time, time to start work on submitting some stuff to the depot.
Also a baby has been born, huzah!

253-04-20:
I really hope this day ends... I've been hearing the squeals of nothing but more and more damned were-lizards and I'm lucky I'm not dead... a few of the dwarves couldn't, or didn't make it to the pit as ordered... saddly, we've had to kill them because of it and several more were infected.

A few monster-slayers have been killed as well as other dwarves... Thankfully no-one has had the misfortune to die so far... but, it seems one human by the name of Ramul decided to go take care of our "Monsters"... It'll be fun to watch at least.


253-05-03:

I think... This might be a bit much but I think making a few roads around here might be a good idea, perhaps. It'll ensure we never had a path blocked by trees- damn things -and we won't have other isuues either.

(https://i.imgur.com/0hIkvyo.jpg)


253-05-05:

Orikson begun giggling like a lamb in the meeting hall today, in fact, he went up giggling all the way to the mason's shop and has since taken it over to work on something! what, I have no idea... but it invovles a lot of bones....

(https://i.imgur.com/6pAX7HP.jpg)

2 days later the fellow got to work... I hope it's good, whatever it is.

Things have gone well so far, but, sadly, a cave in occurred, I haven't gotten all the details in yet, but... in the short of it, basically we lost a of of lives down in the caverns.


253-06-14:
Another birthday come n' gone... I got a very nice Minced Horse meat-loaf and some great cheese an even a figurine from Surge of sharks! I'm still sad to have seen the whol host of people just, disappear like that from a cave-in. But, here's the fortress so far:

In hindsight... I think I should've been a bit more continuous about the fact that cave-ins are likely... even on the surface... aum... cause this, is dangerous.

(https://i.imgur.com/pncmfme.jpg)

253-08-03:
Migrants came from the south this time... that's... not entirely bad news, but, not the worst either.

253-08-18:
Well, a dorf went fey (and in short order begun work on something) and we've been working on getting a statue graden going for the dwarves to enjoy... I've also begun to work on tryiung to get the aum, the death-trap, dealt with... though, it's likely going to kill a few bastards along the way sadly.

Augh, such is the life in Adiluslem...

253-10-19:

A small squad from the Leap of Treasures, the tree-huggers, came today.... They weren't long for this world and none of them made it to the edge of our territory... Saddly, that means that they know where we are now... There's no going back.

(https://i.imgur.com/eNSJFf3.png)

It actually wasn't that bad... but, in the future, it'll not be so good for us to be outside... They came a little after the fall festivities so, likely it'll be the same time they come again... Perhaps a raiding-squad wouldn't be a bad idea... hmm

At the moment Wilfrey has done very well and I'm thinking of making him part of a new Squad if he continues to prove himself.

(https://i.imgur.com/SyIaw9u.png)

253-10-23:
I suggested Wunder an crew head up north to GloveWinter, a lost fortress that might still hold something. They liked the idea and went off.
(https://i.imgur.com/38N92xd.jpg)
Protonus complained about the sun which makes me realize that a few gardens out in the sun for people to meet and play around would do the fortress good.

253-11-04:
They came back, nothing to it... Damn. Oh well... There was another thing there though... hummm.
253-11-05:
OH GOD A WERECIVET- whatever that is -HAS COME TO THE FORTRESS!!!

253-11-10:
Wilfrey is now the murder-baron, he was bitten by the damned Werecivet... Hopefully he lives long an well and gets to kill man an elf. The fortress is on it's way to being war-ready for the elves with the necessary funnel to boot.


254-01-01
Well, the roads aren't entirely ready as I had planned, we still have to finish the roads leading out, but the roads by gate-house and tower are done... here's the end of the fortress an may we live into the next year~!


There was suppose to be a picture here, but, imgur was having issues.

EDIT: Moved it to another site.

Out of the four please choose from the straw poll which two or which one you would like to see in the next form game.  I want to use the newer version of Dwarf Fortress and I tried using the new version on the own Fortress 2 minor success however it crashed. This has wondered to save pretty much broken.

This has been done via text to speech on my mobile phon

https://www.strawpoll.me/16027043

Choose the fate of the next Fortress won't I have some fun off the form to understand some of the mechanics and figure out where I would best liked the settle.
Title: Re: DF Bloodline Game: Crash and burned
Post by: Az the Squishy on July 11, 2018, 01:44:58 AM
So as some of you may know, or many of you may guess from the title alone among the fact that I've posted a poll, the current game of dwarf Fortress is null n' void.  The plan for the fortress was to lemming everyone at the elven capital, however, that didn't go to plan.  Saddly for me the game crashed and i lost all that work I had put into a "Finale" and I'll be made into a troll's toy if I were to do ALL of that over again...

To explain fully:

The fortress was going to turn every single unneeded dwarf into a military dwarf armed with at the very least, spears, a helm of iron, a mail shirt and bone armor. Others were made into Pickdwarves. From there we were going to seige every forest home one by one till all of them had begun to burn or till we died in an onslaught of elven hoards that came in reply.

During the first attack on the capital, the game had crashed, and all the dwarves that I had trained up into near legendry status had gone, every peice of armomr, gone, every stinking damn thing i had done. Gone.

So, rather than waste time, I threw that strawpoll above this post together.

In short, most people wanted to see the elves die again, but, this time it wouldn't be the dwarves defending themselves, oh no, no no. We'd be aiming to erradicate a large portion of elves. So, that'll be the new plan, to raze, pillage, and occupy the eleven territories and render them helpless an hapless to the might of dwarven steel or copper bolts!


-----------------

*!* Notice *!*

If anyone wants to play the blood-line with me let me know, otherwise I'll post everyweekend rather than every year because, honestly? DF is a bit too slow so, if I'm going to be playing it by myself, I might as well have fun while doing it right?


edit 2:

I'm giving this a bit of a break. I'll post to it at another point or so, but for now:

Our fortress has succumbed to the Siege

Holy badger-bung ... It's been a while. I've been very busy with work and a bunch of other things. So, without a further a'do! Here we go folks! :D
(https://img.memecdn.com/today-amp-039-s-graphics-are-nothing-compared-to-ascii_o_6350377.jpg)
Here in the Cyclopean Realm, years have passed, the world has been made, and in the year of Armok, of his prophecy of Metelson. The Dwarves sent out groups to find sanctuary from the necromancers, and this is the tale of one of those groups.
Spoiler

The  Cyclopean Realm is a world of many things. Of those things the dwarves linger but are far from the mighty civilization they once were. The erosion of Goblins, the pains of Elves…
All those things have turned the Tame rag from a fierce force of reckoning. To a dwindled tribe of troglodyte bait. Seeking refuge and with the legends of a land untouched by goblin filth,  the dwarves made a last effort to make landfall on the island. Several groups tried and all of them failed. Soon, the dwarves came to the coast of the foreign lands. Of the dwarves that came they also brought a cat-man by the name of Azmond with them. He is the general overseer of the fortress. Helping to lead and herd the dwarves these entires are the journal of Azmond Zonaban, or Azmond Helmconstruct.

15 of Granite the year of 250:
Well, we’ve survived, my fur is soaked and I’m shivering in the wagon at the moment… Oh well. It is what it is and I’m alive.  Well, here’s a list of who’s left: Goldeye, a miner, Stonemother another miner, Patenince our woodworker, Koala our “leader”, Nighty our Mason, Steel Seeker the farmer, and Ironwills, last but not least.

I’ve ordered the guys to start digging while the leader starts looking around for some plants with a few of the others and Patience goes on to chop some wood down.

A Week has passed:
Ho-ho! We’ve silver now! And we’ve been hitting quite a bit of tetrahedrite and some Galena as well… Not much, I was hoping for more, still ,we’ve not dug too deep. We haven’t hit the caverns either.

1st of Felsite of the year 250:
(https://i.imgur.com/pjHnX4W.gif)
So here is the fortress as it stands. We’ve gotten a small starting area put together. The dwarves of old had massive underground cities… and I think that is going to be the goal of our little outpost, out Boldroads a beacon of the Dwarves! To become a Mountain Hall, a home of the deep for the dwarves of the deep! A Sanctuary for the weary and lost!

Or a resort, dunno.


14th of Felsite of the year 250:
Speaking of the deep!
(https://i.imgur.com/M7zfYy0.gif)
We’ve hit the magma sea!… I’ll be damned. Welp, time to set up shop and get a few things going… I think one of the first things we’re going to get going is the Forges as well as the Fortress proper. But, I want to find one of the caverns, as least ONE of them first, and given that there was what seemed to be a tube leading from the magma sea, I think we can find them near the sea… So I’ve started a few exploratory veins which haven’t gotten anything going at the moment.
Some time later:
Ooh hoo, I heard the shouts of joy coming up from the ramps… That’s a good sign, I think… auh, dunno. Either way, we found the caverns boy’os! We got a place to live now!… and I’ll be damned if we don’t try to do it.  Honestly I think if I really wanted to, I could get a deep shaft of sun-light to be down here… Eh, I’ll work on that later. For now? Time to get to work on the fortress proper then I suppose, or at least plan it out somehow.
(https://i.imgur.com/AuxhkyU.gif)
2nd of Hematite, 250:
The Dwarves are going through the rock steadily to make the first cuts, though I want to see more of the cavern for planning out things we’ll need to get some doors going and I plan on essentially making a small up-top fortification in cause that wasn’t clear… We don’t need to have everyone being able to just watlz in, even if we’re on some dingy little island.

24th of Hematite, Year of Armok 250:
Goldeyes was coming back up from the mines when he noticed that… we’ve a wave of migrants!
(https://i.imgur.com/oRQ6dW3.gif)
Good! Good good good, more bodies for work and more mouths to feed… Not a bad thing but, if they’re expecting anything, good luck.
A few hours later...
Three, we’ve three people… ah well, slow n’ steady is best I’d say. Right, so I’ll get the clothier working on becoming a miner, we need some help with that.

5th of Limestone, of 250 year of Armok:
ZOMBIES AT THE FRONT GATES! I saw them I swea- I…Not even an hour later
They left… They just up an left! We need to get deep, deep now! Seal up the fortress and set a guard animal or 3 set up on top! We don’t need to be up here any longer than needed, we’ve gotten magma and we’ve found the cavenrs for wood! We need not be up more than needed!
With the dead we… we need to get somewhere safe! That’s why we had left the mainland! We were trying to be free of the nercomancers! To avoid their blight! But I suppose a zombie doesn’t care about the sea does it!?
23rd of Limestone, of 250 year of Armok:
(https://i.imgur.com/RcUa3nU.gif)
Right, so almost a month after that auh, discovery, we’ve begun to dig a shaft to supply the forges quickly with ores from the top of the shaft… I’ll need to set up a traffic zone for the dwarves not to get into the path of the falling rocks as they’re dumped down. My plan- if it works, is to have a series of Minecarts on axles with some wooden “springs” dumb the rocks down safely into a pile for the smelters to pick up the stone easily.

Speaking of Stone…
(https://i.imgur.com/OW5ZL8k.gif)
We’ve struck Magnetite! This is an ore of iron and it is MASSIVE! We’ve iron for days now and from this single patch, ohhohoh. We can make some LOVELY things!

Some time passes. Mines are made, plans are laid. This is the first year of the bold roads. The first year of the dwarves new home on the island (peninsula?) of  The Land of Roughness in the Hills of  Wilt. They have been seen by an evil on the island (No, yeah it’s a peninsula… Oops). With the arrival of the dwarves on the far edge. They had hope to soon make the island (peninsula!!!) a haven from the necrotic machinations of the world! Sadly, the Dwarves and their brave cat-man now have been found. What will they do?

Join us next time, and find out!

So here’s the summary of the year guys.
(https://i.imgur.com/FksfNJG.gif)

We’ve gotten the Fortress basically locked down and set up for further development down below. So what IS the plan? I’m… still thinking about what the really is. At the moment, the goal is to get the dwarves set up as “Deep” Dwarves.  And Making a zombie “Playground” … I’ll make a proof of concept I think…  I dunno, gonna’ have to think about what I want to do with that, as there are a few things I could do.
Either way, welcome back ya’ blaggards and I hope you enjoy coming with me on this adventure!
