Campfire No.333652[Last 50 Posts]
Snow covers the ground outside the fortress, and blood covers the ground deep within. The mad dog Urn Rocklflicker was put down after assaulting two recently purchased buffalo slaves. During the chaos Switch slew a goblin stealing utensils from the dining hall. The dogs are only now beginning to calm down and get back to work. The glass worker has gathered a small group to help him demolish the woodburning station so that he may use its materials to build his own workshop.
Prophecy runs up to Boyar, panting.
"Alpha, are you wounded?"

"I'm fine, Prophecy.
"We must make preparations. First we need to bury Rockflicker. A full funeral, befitting such a craftsman.
"And more outsiders are sure to come to this place. We must begin forming a militia and pick a militia officer. Aidi, Crunch, or Swift would all make fine leaders, but we need a way to select among them.

You try to make some pretty carving on it, but only manage to scratch it up. It is still functional as a coffin though.
>>333663
"Yes, Alpha, I will have a few dogs make the first hole we dug her into his grave. Selecting a leader for the militia is both simple a traditional: All the dogs that wish to lead must duel for the position. I have heard several newcomers talking about asking you for the position, so they will wish to join in the fighting."

A passing carpenter hears your speech. When he sees the coffin, he grabs his axe and cuts it into firewood before disappearing into a carpenter's workshop to make a better one. After a while he comes out with a coffin that looks like it is fit for royalty.

You two lose track of the bushwoolie's trail the moment you leave the fortress and so follow behind the others.

Your sharp eyes are enough to spot the bushwoolie's small tracks. You lead the pack through the snow with Aida.
>>333822
You all follow the tracks for as far as you can. Eventually, though, you loose its trail as the shallow tracks have been filled with falling snow. Although you cannot see anything, your nose leads you to a nearby bush. After a bit of digging through the plant you find a few scraps of hair, some blood, a scrap of burlap, and a few cut gems. A few paw prints suggest that the thief ran afoul of a local predator, but it looks like both of them made it away from here alive.

Your gemcutting talent only applies to gemcutting, but I think the necklace you found boosts all your crafting skills.
You recruit a few idle dogs and have them help you build a Jewler's Worskshop. After that is done you take the cut gems and set them into the better looking items you can find. You've got a feeling that these should sell for a quite a bit when the next trader comes.

Spring has come, and as if the celebrate the first anniversary of the fortress's founding the snow has melted and life has returned to the world. The harsh winter necessitated the slaughtering of the livestock, but the slaves are still alive and healthy. There was a death last year, a dog whose mind snapped, and thieves broke in but were unable to steal much. The fortress has done about as well as can be expected of one that has no source of stone, gems, or metal, but as the dogs stop what they are doing and pour out of the fort that is, hopefully, about to change.

And that would not be fair to the rest of the pack – they work just as hard as you, and they contribute all they have to the stockpile, and yet they would not be able to give Road orders.

You keep your eyes dry as you look at the crushed gems on your workbench. At least there are plenty more where those came from.
>>346268
None of the nearby ponds have any fish in them. Planting and harvesting is going well, as is gathering plants growing wild outside, but the buffalo are still in the slave pen. It seem that no one ever told them to help with the farming.

Prophecy leads the three dogs from early into the main room of the mine and has them dig deeper into the earth.

It has been several days since the aquifer was breached and the earth's riches brought to the surface. The deep pit left by the attempt to breach the aquifer has been covered by tiles made from excess stone in order to keep the elements out. Workshops to carve gems and embed them into objects, smelt ore into bars of metal, and forge things from metal have been built in the pit near the entrance to the mine. The dogs have put these to good use and the fortress now has a small supply of gem studded goods as well as bronze armor and weaponry.
The fortress is doing well. Two new pups were born, the alcohol shortage was taken care of, and the buffalo slaves have been put to work helping the farmers.
The fight to determine the leader of the militia, put on hold and nearly forgotten after the discovery of gems and metal, is about to resume. Are the combatants ready?

Roads the donkey is helping with the fortresses pups and runs past you with a bucket full of steaming water on her back and several towels in her mouth. The other one is the daughter of the two buffalo slaves assigned to the field. The mother has been returned to the pen to care for her calf.

He gets up and runs off with his tail between his legs. A dog armed with a large wooden warhammer steps up.
"Ready, berserker?"
>>359818
"I would enjoy that, but she belongs to the tribe. If you wish to take her she is yours."
Something in her eyes tells you that might not be the best idea, but her voice is calm.
>>359808
Your hand is a mangled mess and a few of the claws have fallen off, but you cannot feel any pain. Might want to have a healer take a look at this.
>>359822
You go and get started on making some mechanism. In a few minutes you are able to make several dozen stone mechanisms. Once you finish you notice a Dig Dog staring at his mangled paw.

Well, while the fiasco of the traders is going along, I'll head to the smith's to see about getting a good length of chain for the well.
"Well, assuming our broker doesn't end up overpaying too much, we should have some decent metal in here shortly. Iron and bronze. Before that, I need a length of good chain for a well. We've got that aquifer, so we might as well put it to use so we don't die of thirst during the freeze."

"Yes."
He takes a ready stance and waits for you to attack.
>>359837
You see a large number of silver bells and spikes cooling in barrels of water. One of the smiths turns to you.
"Iron and bronze?
>>359839
A large chunk of his paw falls off.
>>359840
"Either one works, if they are what my master whishes."
>>359841
Iron ore was not struck. What was struck was an ore that smelts into two parts copper and one part silver.

You run to get Switch.

"Just came in on the caravan. Assuming our broker doesn't blow it, we'll have enough for a few decent weapons or tools. As we've not hit any yet, we could use what they've got. I didn't see any cages we could melt down, though, unfortunately. Still, you're getting some good metal, so be happy about it. And if they can swing it, some variety in our booze."

He looks at the pit of you paw that is still attached, and the parts that you are holding in your other paw.
"This…I don't know what I can do with this. Hold still."
He takes out an amulet, and a variety of surgical equipment and goes to work on your hand.

Copper is currently the best metal the fortress has for weapons and armor. It can also be made into tools, for there is an abundance of it.
>>359854
"Iron an' copper? That'll be good. New booze is nice too."
Your friend the glassmaker runs into the mined out portion of the mine that has been converted into a smithy and forge.
"Pom, there you are! A mad dog has taken over your workshop!"
Roll #1 3 = 3

"He's gone mad, just like that dog that tried to kill the buffalo. Come on!"
He runs out of the mine.
>>359867
There are several bars lieing around, a large pile of smelted ore, and two seems that are still beaming mined out. You've got the feeling your fortress will not want for copper or silver for quite some time.
>>359868
>>359869
"With my skill? No. If another migrant comes along that knows more of the healing arts than I do, maybe he can help. There may also be a healer with the caravans that can help."
Until you get your hand back you can only use single weapons with Fencing. You also have a -1 to all actions that require two hands.

You ask a few dogs and learn of their locations.
You don't ever really have to roll to find them. This is a small place and everyone tends to know where everyone else is.
>>359880
"I don't know."
As the two of you draw close you can hear laughter. Rounding the corner and rushing into the shop you can see Lesson Dotstring holding a shield above her head. It is a giant crow bone shield. All craftdogship is of the highest quality, It is encircled with bands of giant crow bone. The shield is adorned with hanging rings of giant dingo bone.
She looks at you with a twinkle in her eyes.
"I call it The Bound Climates."
>>359883
They are doing well, for the most part. It seems that no plump helmet spawn can be planted because no one is eating the plump helmets.

"Alirhgt."
She practically skips out of the workshop with the shield slung over her back.
>>359882
Sorry, I thought I remembered writing out my response.
There are several dozen that you and Aidi were able to make. The smiths should be about done with their items by now.
>>359905
You are able to make a large number of fine meals, and are even able to shelter them from >>359908, who sneezes over a bunch of ingredients.

"Because my things are here…"
I'll sigh a little.
"But you're right, being closer to the gems would be a better fit. I suppose I'll have to let her have it. Just don't let anyone less skilled use it."
And I suppose I'll set off to find a good spot to put that gemcutting station.

You grab some wood and begin making small cages to catch animals. You make six of them.
>>359943
You nearly neutur yourrself with a poorly swung hammer, but luckily >>359946 is there to help you.

"I'll help you carry your things."
With the help of the glassmaker you carry your stuff and get set up in a shop near the entrance to the mine. Another dog built it, but abandoned it after he learned he had no talent with gems.
