Dwarf Fortress Succession Game III:Jawmetal

I think it sounds pretty cool, though we'd inevitably have to make a bronze colossus by putting a slab into a bronze statue.

In any case, the town's files can be located here.

edit: is everyone dead?

I was going to ask to be dorf'd... but there doesn't seem to be anyone here.

Assuming this isn't dead, an engineer dorf would be great.

I am here... and didn't realize the file was sent. Whoops! Time fer me to get to work on the fortress of Jawmetal, straight from the slab.

Dorfing complete!

Speaking of dwarves, is mine even alive at this point? I haven't heard a single thing about him, assuming he was even created.

I don't recall him getting impaled, at any rate. More than that I can't guarantee.

Most dorfed peoples dorves don't really do anything exciting until bad things start to happen.

That was, reassuring? I guess? Haha, well at least he's MIA and not dead. We dwarves can't ask for more than that.

@Sasty: As hammer lord, you are alive, happy, and 104 years old, just for the record. (Beats my first dwarf... dead by vampire, but that's a different can of worms.)

I'm curious what my dorf is up to as well.

This is astounding. I figured my dwarf to be long dead by now. This would be a much easier experience if I could actually play, but until I get the money for a new PC this is the next best thing. I'm viewing this site on an Android phone right now. I wish I could play ;_;

By the way, if there are any thrones made of gold lying around, you should put one in the hospital. Never know when one might come in handy.

Durza: Why a gold one in a hospital?

I would kindly like to be dorfed, please. Axedwarf is preferable, but any military dorf will do if axes are in short supply.

You never know when someone might need to be put on a golden throne... It's just a pointless reference really, I was doing something related to it just before I checked the thread here.

Ahh I see. Makes sense now.

@Cuddlesworth: Done. No axe dwarves unfortunately, so I opted to hammer lord fer ya.

@Midgetsnowman: You're happy, alive, and a spear master.

@Durza: I'll check and get that done. Hopefully, I can push myself to get a log up.

Edit on Durza's request: No gold thrones unfortunately. Definitely will have it in mind if an artifact gold chair is made.

We're still going two year turns, right?

I love spears :D

Just one year I believe. Keeps things moving along. You should have the fort for the year 136.

It is indeed just one year turns to keep things going briskly.

Behold, volume one of slab stories of NE Sgamer 190, slab-dwelling spirit.

Grantie 1, 256

I arose from my spiritual slumber, being understandably cheesed as I got word that they replaced me with another dwarf! Such treachary, must not be allowed the full course to go through. I thought I could rest, a peaceful lady in a slab of stone that managed to bind me to it, but no... they had to replace this mother. It's a shame I'm now married with the Earth itself... Fortunately for them, I can't cause a volcanic eruption... that'd be too destructive to even rend the dwarven mountain halls. I also got my sense of the mayor mandating two quivers. Durza, you fool! Why must you let the mayor go unattended? Mayors hate when their mandates get disregarded! It also is a very bad thing the hospital's devoid of traction benches! Overseers, what were you thinking? No jail cells? What is this? Slack Jaw? I've got to remedy this!

Granite 5, 256

I noticed a dwarf who fell asleep in the supplies, and a few of his clothes joined the ranks... At the sight of that, I went to give the manager a little radiation to convince him to get to work on those clothes. I remember seeing clothes strewn about. I was in some awe about the bedrooms, until I saw a lack of chests for the poor little dwarves! They must be served justice with these chests!

Granite 12, 256

Hurry up, you lazy bums! The mayor's patience is up, and soon, the mayor'll sentence us to trouble! Get a move on!

Granite 14, 256

We made the mandate... barely, but we made it... One mayorial wrath averted... now to the next order of business... the hospital improvement. The lack of Traction Benches worries me that broken bones will stay broken bones.

Granite 25, 256

Gyah! Only one magma glass forge and one magma kiln?!? What if the moody takes those workshops? I've immediately gone to bring the dwarves over there through some mysterious manner, that even I was unsure of. If this fort's to not go into a meltdown, I must make to it we've at least two of each workshop! At least I've my pig tail fiber clothes to keep my drained body warm... A dwarven infant has grown to be a child... I am pleased with this.

Slate 1, 256

One month has passed since my rule as slabberseer, and already I need a drink... So many flaws with this fort... I really hope they made a little beer chute for a dwarf to pour a little dwarven ale in. At least we didn't get attacked yet.

Slate 16, 256

Readying the prison cells, I've opted to some of the excess gold to be used for the chains of the cells. The reasoning for this is simple... unlike some of the others, who'd throw the prisoners in rubbish, I see even a fugitive who might've skimped on a trade order deserves a second chance. If it's a bloody vampire though, I will not jail the little one, but rather murder it through an elaborate scheme of which will involve a statue and plenty of wooden skewers to maim the blood-sucking wight. That's most definitely my next means of business, once I get the fort more fundamentally correct.

Slate 22, 256

The earth has told me the mayor opted for a ban this time... forbidding axes from being traded. Just as well. Not many axes are being used anyway. Thinking about it though, we could use a ranged regiment of marksdwarves... in case the invaders try ranged warfare on us. For now though, I'll keep that on thought, and not go through with it just yet. The traction Benches are coming along nicely though... At this rate, we'll have the hospital in full working order soon enough!

Slate 25, 256

A child by the name of Illusmaximus Udibtad withdrew from society. I can only pray that the wee boy doesn't pull something horrible with that craftsdwarf's shop. He seems to want lots of lumber... What a determined child to go nab the lumber from far from the fort's stock... then again, the dwarves have been lazy again! Doesn't help we've more migrants. Dobar Therlethadil has gotten my suspicion, given the loads of skills and loads of communities she came from. I'm fairly certain her one goblin kill is a bit unlikely. I'm only going to label this fisherdwarf as a suspect for now though... We're up to 182 dwarves now... with the number most likely going to go down.

Felsite 5, 256

Sasty, along with a couple other dwarves gave birth, bolstering our number more. As unfortunate as it is, my slab remained dry, devoid of dwarves wanting to fill it with alcohol. I longed for that taste, but otherwise, I can be at rest, knowing we'll have a self-sustained fortress of superb quality. Contemplating of the potential wrath a vampiric spirit could wreak, I opted to have a slab erected in the... wretch's name that put me down and loved magma men.

Felsite 10, 256

I can rest easy now. The child's working on a mysterious construction, as opposed to worse alternatives... using lots of wood, some bones, a bit of leather, gold block, and a rough gem... this better be useful.

Felsite 15, 256

The child has made a willow figurine of Ral Uttercloistered... what a grim child... the artwork related to the grim wounding of the dwarf with a larch spear in the late summer of 255. It's also encircled with bands of willow, larch, and a few other things. Nothing else was noteworthy, but no adamantine was wasted thankfully.

Felsite 18, 256

A kobold tried his luck again to steal the fortress' wealth... it was able to get away, but not with any of the treasure we had made. The thief was surely going to not return again. That, I could just feel in my spiritual slab. The elves were en-route right on time. Hopefully, they won't be cheesed off from all the previous diplomatics that went on that might've angered them.

Felsite 22, 256

They were thankfully not miffed at us dwarves, but they didn't offer too much goods that were highly desirable, but booze was never bad, and the fact they offered plenty of seeds, including sun berry seeds was a very nice dealing. Some of the crafts can go, along with the useless kobold clothes that wouldn't fit even a dwarven baby. The elves had graciously taken the offer, much to my surprise, and as a little thanks, I opted to give them a crown and scepter as offerings to the elves for the business as souveniers.

Again, another kobold tried to get in, but was quickly found and fled as usual, only to get caught by the animal trainer with a crossbow, and the kobold fell in pain. The lone trainer took down the kobold with good accuracy, and bagged us more koboldian clothes, and a dagger of copper. Someone give this trainer a mug of booze. He deserves it!

Also, I've opted to a dwarven greenhouse to be made as soon as possible to put the surface plants to use as soon as possible. I'd love to see the others' opinions on the plants from above.

Felsite 25, 256

Another kobold thief got to the gates, injuring Azrael with a silver dagger stab at the damaged left mitten. The spearmasters and mistresses promptly poured out to put an end to the koboldian menace, with Durza stabbing the right upper arm with his spear and severing it! Did we really make spears this big? Durza had loads of fun stabbing the little 'bold apart. Azrael, your hand has been avenged by Durza.

Hematite 1, 256

Summer has arrived, and I am pleasantly surprised to say the least. Our city is bumbling with 186 dwarves, and we've created ten million dwarven dosh. Soon, I'll have a ranged regimen ready from our hunters who'll hunt on their spare time as training, yet shoot hostiles if they try anything. It baffles this spirit how this impersonator of me is alive... Just as well... I think I may have given him a little too little credit for carrying my name... As I saw him pass my slab, I had a small message to "Take the next log of entries for summer." He oddly complied, but I'm still with no alcohol... did they truly forget to install an alcohol chute in these slabs?

(Summing up Spring, A few kobolds came and died, a wooden figurine was made by a child, the elves came and we got some surface crops and beer and cloth for some of the rock stuff and kobold clothes from the elves. I was wholly disappointed with the elves not having any good war animals.)

Good stuff.

I'm pretty sure there's three or four traction benches in the hospital, plus I didn't see the point in installing a prison since that a) prevents dwarves being beaten to death if someone misses a mandate and b) the happy thought for not getting imprisoned and beaten outweighs the sad thought for a mandate being missed and not beating anyone.

Yeah but it is just another aspect of ways for things to go horribly wrong. Like the one game where a miner as sheriff adminstered beatings with picks to the skull.

That sounds terrible. And hilarious.

Lets just say Judge Dredd had shit on this Law Keeper for harshness. Every crime was a death sentence effectively.
