let us know if we need to skip you, i know you are having technical issues, but we really should keep this moving (I have seen many sucession games lose momentum and peter out unfortunately. Lets hope not this one!)

[javierpwn]

Skip me, just make sure the next overseer fixes the well issue, turns off the pumps, and unlocks Rendell's arena door

[Kalemyr Skyfire]

I'll try my best to doom save this fortress.
Rendell, I really hope you don't mind this...
-----------------------------------------

1st of Granite, 553
Rendell wiped the blood off his axe. He had won; the goblin, she lied dead at his feet.
It was silent, so much for the cheering crowd. Looking above him, he noted that there were no dwarves watching.

Rendell sighed as he walked to door; he tried to open to door... Only to find that it was locked.
The door was supposed to be unlocked after he won, but with no one watching; they didn't know when to unlock it.

He began thinking on how to get out of this situation; The arena was just below the dining hall.
Someone had to be in it. Rendell began shouting, "HELP!! SOMEONE HELP ME!"

Only silence greeted him; there was no reply.
But after a minute or two, a familiar dwarf's head peered at him.

Spoiler: Feylers (click to show/hide)

((OOC: I changed Feyler's name to Mirei, because she is a girl!))


"Rendell, you're alive," Feylers said, "Why are you still down there?"

"Feylers, the door is locked! Unlock it before I die!"

"Actually, my name is Mirei; I have no idea why you guys call me Feylers."

"Feylers, UNLOCK THE DOOR!!" Rendell screamed.

Mirei looked away, as she began to consider what would happen if Rendell died.
With Rendell gone, I could probably get his room...
Nah, I can make myself a new room.

She must have seemed likely to leave.

"Mirei? Can you unlock the door? Please?" Rendell asked, a slight hint of fear in his voice.

"What? Oh, yes! I'll do it quickly..."
*          *          *
"Thanks, Mirei," Rendell said, as he took a sip of his ale.

"No problem."

Mirei began to leave, when a Dwarf ran up to her.

"Feylers," He said, "You have been selected to be overseer."

"It's Mirei, not Feylers..."

That's how I'm going to be writing my year; deal with it
I'll begin the year now.

[javierpwn]

I suggest the first thing you do is deconstruct the well, floor it off, and make diagonal channels to a new well area; else you want to flood the fort

Journal of Artimaus:Miner

     Things are getting creepy. I have had a dream that I had a dream that I was put in charge and disaster fell. Then I woke up and died because someone locked him in a room. These must be premonitions.
     I will warn Feylers who has been given a leadership position.

I was passed over for promotion.

[bp920091]

I wonder what the fort will look like when I see it again...

Btw, I design all of my wells to the level of the aquifer. I never plan on expanding them (no reason to). without expansion, it is impossible to overflow

[Kalemyr Skyfire]

Mirei's log:

5th of Granite
Work on fixing the well has begin.
Javier brought this up to this to me about the well will overflow, and kill everyone. I agree with him.
The new well will make sure the water doesn't overflow.

8th of Granite

I wonder what Onget is going to make.
Onget begins a mysterious construction after collecting some bones, and gems.
Onget also becomes a legendary gem cutter.

14th of Granite
After working furiously for 5 days, Onget creates this.

This would be useful if... WE WEREN'T IN A TUNDRA!! Whoever sent us here is an idiot.
I don't care if the King sent us here, even if he is the King, he's still an idiot.

18th of Granite
The new well is complete, hopefully it won't overflow.

1st of Slate
I noticed something that troubled me.
Our bookkeeper is busy apparently.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

5th of Slate
After much thought, I have decided to become the new bookkeeper.
To become one, I need an office. I reassured everyone that I did not decide to become one just because I wanted a new room...

14th of Slate
Di organized a party at a pigtail fiber rope.
I really hope no one goes to the party...

21st of Slate
Oh no....
Migrants have arrived. Great more freeloaders. 
The new fellows bring us up to a number of... 97.
I believe goblins will be giving a visit sometime soon...

8th of Felsite
With the new migrants, we have to begin building new rooms.

12th of Felsite
3 individuals in the community have caught my eye.
First is Sabretache, a metalsmith / member of our militia

Second is Oranos, former soapmaker, now swordsdwarf in our militia.

Last but not least is 10terrapin01 (Who has a strange name for a dwarf.), our brewer / cook.

19th of Felsite
An elven caravan has arrived! right next to some wolves, I wonder how this is going to end...
Luckily for them, a nearby hunter named Melbil came to the rescue, and killed the wolves.

25th of Felsite
My new quarters is complete!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It comes with a tiny tomb for me.

28th of Felsite
We traded the elves some useless trinkets for the forest they carry with them, some berries, and booze.

And so ends spring.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I think I'm doing good so far. Anyone have any crazy plans they want me to do?

[flame99]

Wait... Tapered baguette? Isn't that a loaf of french bread?

[javierpwn]

Build some fortifications and traps on the surface near the entrance and on the roof, a siege might come
( when I was playing 2 came)

[bp920091]

( when I was playing 2 came)

Finally, sieges show up, i was worried that they might not show. For some reason, they never seem to show up (or are uncharistically small) whenever i play sucession games.... Yet they show up in massive force in my singleplayer games (first siege one game had over 90 gobbos/mounts... 250k fort value... The gobbos hate my forts)

And yes, i have checked and made sure that invaders is set to YES, not to NO. I must be lucky (although i do miss my goblinite).

[javierpwn]

The first sieges are the smallest, but they become bigger and better equipped the longer and more valuable the fort has become

[Glloyd]

This fort looks pretty awesome so far. If it's still possible i'd like a dorf and a chance as Overseer? Hopefully the fort will still be surviving thriving when it comes to me.
Name just glloyd, and a miner/soldier if there is one, If not, I'll take an axedorf.

14th of Hematite
Can someone please explain to me why there's more dwarves in this room than in the actual dining hall?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Apparently, Di is so popular; everyone wants to go to her parties.

Migrant housing is also finished.

20th of Hematite
Fortifications are now complete.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

3 new dwarves have been recruited into the Colbalt Gazes
I made a slight change to the drawbridge since it was annoying me...

21st of Hematite
Some axedwarf approached me, said her name was Glloyd.
((OOC: You said nothing about gender...)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Wonder why she approached a bookkeeper instead of all of the other dwarves.

24th of Hematite
The elves has left.
May they be smited before they return home.
What? I don't like elves.

3rd of Malachite
We have over 100 coal, but we're not smelting?
Meh, a problem easily fixed.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

9th of Malachite
I ordered 3 copper crossbows to be made for our marksdwarfs.
Some bolts and quivers were made as well.

14th of Malachite
...
More freeloaders. They bring us up to 109

16th of Malachite
Why have we stopped digging?
We're dwarves for crying out loud. The underground is ripe for the taking!

23rd of Malachite
A new mining area has been set up.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The bridge can be raised if we dig too deep, and unleash some forgotten evil from Ninth hell.

6th of Galena
A reindeer has starved to death.

11th of Galena
Someone... SOMEONE IS GOING TO PAY FOR THIS!!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

When I find that vampire, chivalry is going to be more alive than that worm...

14th of Galena
Humans have arrived.

16th of Galena
I found the Vampire.

Ilral Kolzanos, you will be avenged!

17th of Galena
I have begun digging out a room to deal with the vampire.
It's in secret, because the others... They won't understand.

21st of Galena
I didn't know Humans carried forests with them. Oh well, we gave them our useless trinkets for the usual.

22nd of Galena
It would seem we're running low on booze.
Back to work brewers!

((OOC: You said nothing about gender...)

Haha, doesn't matter either way. Thanks!

[bp920091]

Ooh, vampire... Quick, stick him In a room with a pick and seal him shut (constructed walls and burrows do the job nicely). He won't attack anyone, and the fort will never fall.

I call it the battery backup.
