Campfire No.315501[Last 50 Posts]
For a home supposedly hidden far away from the troubles of this world a surprising number of refuges have been able to find it. While these new dogs have been able to take some of the burden off the six of you, they have also made the small fortress rather cramped. There are not enough rooms, beds, or furnishings for all of the dogs, and to make matters worse they have begun complaining about the lack of a proper dining area. As if these problems weren't enough a rumor has begun circulating that one of the dogs has retreated to his room and will not come out. These strange moods that sometimes strike your species can bring great or terrible things.
Ultimately, it is up to the six of you to decide what to do. The future of this fortress and the fate of all that dwell here are in your paws.

You don't know much about trading, but who needs educamation? All this trader has is a wide variety of food, alcohol, gems, cloth, silk, seeds, plants, anvils, and clothing. They also have several weapons, shields, pieces of leather armor, and a few crutches. They have a few gems and instruments crafted from metal that they must have purchased on a previous stop. They have a few bars of metal and several stone blocks. Lastly they have a two buffalo slaves for sale: a male and a female.
All in all, it's all junk.

The winter has been surprisingly long and harsh for the middle of the jungle, but so far both dogs and livestock have avoided freezing to death. In an effort to save their addled companion a few of dogs threw together some things at the last minute to buy metal and gems off the traders, but none of them were accepted by the crazy canine. The two recently named buffalo slaves, Plow and Spade, are ready to be put to work for the good of the fortress if there is no one that wishes to keep one of them as their own personal slave.

Bodice Kissplan is a hunter of the same skill as Switch.
Urn Rockflicker was a metalcrafter before his mind was claimed by madness.
Rag Sizzlehammer is a weaponsmith, but because she is currently without access to a forge or to metal she has been helping the farmers.

Channel Glow is a bonecutter and has been keeping himself busy with the bones the cooks leave behind.
Gate Bannerage is a glassmaker.
Cloisterarena and Door Pondersnuggle are both fishery workers. One has been helping butcher animals and brew alcohol while the other has been helping in the fields.

If you want to hear any of that you need to roll.

The dog nods and runs off to gather some warriors.
Everyone who is in the dining room, so I think everyone except Pom, please roll.

He nods his head.
"A few dogs built a Wood Furnace too make charcoal so Urn could make something and exorcise his demon, but he has refused to work. I can use that as fuel to make glass blocks which can then be used to rebuild the Wood Furnace. After that I can make glass gems for you to decorate goods with and mechanisms so we can finally build some traps."

You both spot spot what looks like a small, furless, green diamond dog stealing plates and forks off a table on the other side of the dining room.

The three of you don't spot anything.
Loud barks, growls, and howls suddenly ring out throughout the fortress.
Urn Rockflicker, Metalcrafter, has gone berserk!
He nods his head.

"That actually sounds like a fantastic idea, but-"
Interrupted by the howls of insanity, I'll pause.
After waiting for a moment for them to stop, I'll continue.
"But there is a good chance the Alpha share the same mindset as your former group. I can try, but I make no promises. If nothing else, I can wave the smell of future money under his nose. That might sway him. If it works, we'll try and get working on that immediately. Do you have the sand ready, by the way?"

"No. Sand must be stored in just the right conditions to be useful for making glass. I can start once the workshop is built."
>>317123

Several dogs run into the room.
"He's gone mad! He'll kill us all!"
>>317121
Your arrow strikes him in the side and he crumples instantly. He coughs once shudders as foamy, bright red blood poors out of his mouth as your poison destroys his insides.
>>317126
You can already see that there would be no point.

The two of you and several other dogs charge down to the workshop level and follow the sounds of fighting to the slave pen. Upon arriving you can see a diamond dog cowering behind the buffalo bull, while the buffalo cow and Rockflicker are squaring off. Each of them are wounded.
When he hears you enter he lets lose a bloodthirsty howl and charges your group. State your actions and roll.

Some ugly green thing got shot in the dining room and the insane dog has turned violent.
>>317141
You've got no idea what that thing is, but is has a bag stuffed full of plates, forks, and a few gems that the other dogs bought from the merchants.
Roll #1 6 = 6

In addition to what it stole from the fortress it has a small gem necklace from which hangs a holy symbol of Glitter Bronzelilac. You can see it begin to glow faintly when you touch it. There is also a rolled up piece of parchment sticking out of it's pack.

There is nothing left to heal. Perhaps if someone had tried that half a year earlier when he first went mad it would have worked, but now it is far too late.
>>317154
His mad strength allows him to grab you when you try to force him down onto the floor. Declare an action and try to beat my roll.

I'll have to switch to a different poison, since my normal one isn't any good for killing Diamond Dogs.

You put the necklace on and feel your paws become more deft. You can feel the knowledge of making crafts from any sort of material enter your mind.
The parchment has an incomplete map of the fortress on it.
>>317167
He leans his head back then savagely headbutts you. Stunned, you are easily thrown to the ground. He stomps your chest then charges Boyar and Switch.
>>317170
You step to the sword and slash at his gut as he runs past. He cries out in pain and grabs at the wound with a paw.
>>317181
You arrow lands in his back but he does not immediately feel the effects of the poison.
He turns and charges again!

"Hrumph. Well, there has been talk of making and using glass for construction material. However, we'd need to break down the charcoal furnaces to build the glassmaking station. However, we can rebuild the charcoal burners with the glass, and it should hold up. At least until we dig deep enough to get a steady supply of stone. I also hear colored glass sells particularly well, especially once cut appropriately."

Buffaloes, zebra, and gryphons have waged war with your species off and on for as long as anyone can remember, but this looks like a goblin. None of the races know much about them, but there have been stories told of them sacking small fortresses and attacking trade caravans.

"We've already enough charcoal to make the glass needed to rebuild the furnaces, or so I've been told, and we'd just need the sand to melt into glass. Now that I have your permission, I will inform the workers, and get them working on the facilities. With luck, everything will be going according to plan."
I'll turn to leave, but then glance over my shoulder before I do so.
"It may not have occurred to you, but we will need a militia at some point. Constructing training weapons might be a good idea, as well as assigning a good dog to lead the troops. Your hunter might do well."
And then I'll head off to inform Gate that we have approval.

The buffalo bull is uninjured. The buffalo cow has a few scratches on her face, but her thick fur was able to absorb most of the unarmed dog's blows.
"Thank you for your concern, master, but I will be fine. I apologize for hurting him, but he had gone mad and was a threat to you all."
>>317256
Gate is ecstatic.
"Thank you so much! I will begin construction right away!"
