Diamond Dog Fortress Campfire No.295999[Last 50 Posts] >>296002
You have arrived. After a long journey from the Mountainhomes into the forbidding wilderness beyond, your harsh trek has finally ended. Your party of seven has fled from home for fear of being caught in a future war that might wipe out your entire pack. There are almost no supplies left, but with stout labor comes sustenance. Whether by bolt, plow, or hook provide for yourselves. With any luck a wandering trader may stop by before winter, or your new pack may even be strong enough to launch a small supply raid, but it is Spring now. Enough time to delve secure lodgings, ere the wolves get hungry. A new chapter of Diamond Dog history begins here at this place, Numbershadowed. Strike the earth!

When the water buffaloes you pilfered finally stop pulling you find quite the surprise. The Jungle is covered in snow! To the northeast lies a small hill. To the east and northeast the ground slopes gently downwards. It wuld be wise to get yourselves and your supplies out of the cold.

The end of Spring is drawing close. The adventurous dogs have dug their way into a hill near where their wagon broke down and carved out space to store their goods, sleep, grow crops, clean and cook animals, and make wooden furniture. The most important task ahead of them is locating, then breaching, the aquifer they are standing above.
One moment while I get these fucking dogs to do what they are supposed to be doing.

You dig out a room across from the carpenter's workshop and build a mechanic's workshop. Once you get some stone you can start building mechanisms for traps and machinery.

You follow her around and watch her while she works.

You build the components for one, but trip and crush them all.

Fortress Status Update
For the Alpha
Winter of the First Year
IMPORTANT:
The aquifer plug stands ready to be used once the ice around the edge of the aquifer melts. If the plug lacks the number of layers needed to breach the aquifer I have seen to it that the dogs left plenty of room for pumps and a drainage system.
Changes:
Things are going more slowly than planned, but given that we are a pack of misfits that is to be expected. For better or for worse twenty diamond dogs, including us, now call this place our home. The two water buffalo that pulled our cart here have given birth to a calf, and a wave of refugees have brought with them a yak calf. My recommendations are to let them both mature then slaughter the freshly grown water buffalo, but if the winter is harsh we may need to slaughter all of them. The young donkey slave continues to follow her old master around. Our fisherdogs have reported that none of the small ponds contain any fish with meat on their bones.
Industries:
The newest arrivals have built workshops in addition to the ones we constructed. The farmers have shown interest in setting up their own industries, but we lack seeds in sufficient quantities to support them. As it stands we currently have the facilities for the following industries:
Leather - Currently lacking skins to make into leather. This should change come spring.
Bone crafts - See above note
Wood crafts
Furniture - The building of a second Carpenter's workshop may prove necessary
Other Constructions:
A trade depot stands ready to welcome any wealthy travelers. Until we reach a layer of stone its location outside does not mater because we cannot protect it with traps. A large room for the slaves has been built, but will lack furnishings until all the dogs are taken care of.
Suggestions For The Coming Year:
Breaching the aquifer should be a top priority. We need more rooms, beds, doors, and furnishings for all the dogs we have. We need a larger storage room or several storage rooms dedicated to different materials. We need a dining area with tables and chairs.
