The journey itself was not without its perils. Little did I know that we would receive the wood that we needed soon enough, but at what cost? Here, the following annotation has been scribbled into the margin of the journal I hope that the annual elven caravan arrives soon to supply us with wood, as there are no trees growing anywhere on this glacier. There are not enough beds for all of the dwarves, and there is no more wood remaining to build any more beds. I notice that the peasants Kallisti, OutofPrint and Recursive have to resort to sleeping on the cavern floor. By making this miserable place seem as pleasant as possible, I hope to keep the dwarves in relatively high spirits. Those who aren't hauling iron ore, working in the steel industry, or working on the farms are put to work smoothing and engraving the walls and floors of the fortress. I request that he complete the construction of another farm plot, which will be used to plant quarry bushes. Mehuyael, one of our more skilled farmers, had been ordered not to farm by the previous overseer. ![]() Unfortunately, without Vox Nihili, our farming industry is now shorthanded. This request immediately pays off, as Vox Nihili begins churning out several masterpiece-quality suits of steel plate mail. I order him to stop farming and to focus on the production of steel armor. I see that Vox Nihili, our legendary armorsmith, is preparing a new plot of farmland. To run an efficient fortress, one must keep the more useful dwarves happy.Īs for our existing supply of steel bars, it is time we use them for something. I take Green Intern aside and request that he go ahead and forge the bismuth bronze goblet that Bob had requested. Perhaps this dwarf is capable of more than just making ridiculous requests after all. Mayor Bobthethurd, a legendary miner in his own right, grabs a pick as well and begins unearthing iron ore at alarming speed. I order the miners Rixaxun, sewermancer, Manic Mole, Idles, and The Deadly Hume to get to work extracting hematite and limonite ore from the mines. We have plenty of coal, lignite, and flux stone already, but we will need to mine out more iron. Sure, I'll get right on that, I think to myself.Īfter seeing to the previous overseer 64bitrobot, I get to work on the steel industry. "Or, failing that, could you at least commission a bismuth bronze drinking cup for me perhaps? It would really mean a lot to me." "If you could find a way to capture one of the Holistic Spawn and domesticate it, I would like to have one as a pet," says Bobthethurd. Also, as a general rule, try to keep most of the dwarves inside of the fortress at all times, there isn't anything outside that would make it worth the danger." "We have very little wood, but coal and coke are abundant here, so please use those instead of charcoal for steelmaking, and try to import as much wood as you are able. The steel weapon and armor industries must be a priority in order to outfit a larger army," says Skullbuggy. "We will need a stronger army to deal with the Spawn of Holistic, and these soldiers will need to be outfitted. "Do you have any other advice to deal with the situation here?" I ask. All of our dwarves are currently busy with other tasks, so it would be appreciated if you could see to it that he receives water and food." The previous overseer has been incapacitated by a broken leg, and is unable to continue his duties. I am met at the gates by mayor Bobthethurd and fortress manager Skullbuggy. Our company has finally arrived at this icy hell of a fortress. I realize that this is no dream, no hallucination. Syrupleaf - Chapter V Part 1 - The Arrival ![]()
