Diamond Dog Fortress Campfire No.379416[Last 50 Posts]

You stick a small pin into the keyhole on the cages door and are able to pop it open. The diamond dog laughs.
"Are you sure you need my help?"
>>379423
The doctor brushes his paws off then scratches the unicorn behind his ears.
"He was able to use this Dog's magic to reattach your arm. I don't think he was able to do much more than that though, because your arm is hanging pretty limp."
>>379424
"The usual. We bought some more anvils so we can expand our metal industry. This means we have been cutting down more trees to fuel our furnaces and forge. Switch and Crunch have not paid much attention to the militia at all, so you may wish to go to them and listen to what they have to say. I have heard talk of siege engines, so you may wish to search the fortress for Dogs that are knowledgeable about that subject. The most pressing concern right now is one of mine: We are running out of room up here. We can fit no more bedrooms on this level, and the tight packed quarters means that if a group of enemies were to get in here and overpower our military they would slaughter us all."
>>379429
You can hear some rocks start to shift.

>>379448
A few small rocks start to fall and bounce off you.
>>379449
Two of the dogs are training against wooden and cloth dummies while another tries to organize a hand-to-hand combat demonstration. Two more dogs are talking with him and trying to help him organize it.
>>379450
They are all smiling.
"We feel great, Master>"
"Yes, we pleased you and did well."
>>379451
She nods.
"I joined yesterday, follow me."
She turns around and starts walking out of your hole.

Not really. There isn't much room for you to move. The rocks get larger.
And larger.
And larger.
And then a big, grey fist breaks through the wall above your chamber.
"Anything broken, runt?"
>>379462
They are all full of energy.
"We want whatever you want, Master."
>>379463
She looks over her shoulder at you.
"You can provide your own? Good, 'cause we've got almost nothing."
She leads you to the entrance of the fortrase and points at a tunnel running off to the left.
"Down there is the barracks. You can't miss it."
With that said she leaves you.
>>379460
She touches your arm. You can't feel it.

"Thank you. Enjoy your bow."
What happened to the weapons I bought when I got the slaves? Who got them?
Let's talk to a few of the dogs there and ask them a few questions about which weapons they'll be needing. Let them know I can usually get some from caravans.
"I'm Aidi, the negotiator of the Fort. I was hoping one of you would be able to help me improve my sword skill."

He looks at the dull grey cluster and snorts.
"That's nothing. Come see what the big guy found."
You can hear Gem calling out from the end of the tunnel.
"Master, are you safe now? I'm sorry for letting you get buried!"
>>379475
One of the dogs steps away from a training dummy and salutes you.
"We need a firing range for our archer and any other archers that join. We need more beds and chests to keep our personal things in. We need more armor, even if it's made out of copper."
>>379424
You get a general idea of how many of what sorts of things the fortress has. Nothing is lacking, but the alcohol reserves are running low.
>>379476
You flop your arm around while the doctor speaks.
"Once this mutt wakes up you can try having him fix your arm. If he makes it fall off I can try sewing it back on."
>>379480
The militia, but there was just enough to arm the current members.
They tell you that they don't really care what they get, so long as it is steel. As of now most of them have steel weapons.
>>379477
You ask around a bit and are directing to a dog enjoying a meal in the dining hall.
"Yes? How can I help you?"
He looks at the dull grey cluster and snorts.

"Good. I'll see that these things are provided for you. If, for whatever reason, Crunch or Switch is not around, feel free to talk to Prophecy or me. The militia is very important to me, and I want to be sure that you are taken care of."
Let's go to the carpenters. Let's get some beds first.

He leads you to the staircase traveling deeper into the mine. You pass several layers of stone before you come to a beautiful sight: A vein of orange citrite gems colliding with a vein of dark grey tetrahedrite, and all set in a layer of turquoise microline. The staircase leading up and down have been carved into the citrite vein.
The large diamond dog grins at you.
"Well? What do you think?"
>>379496
"Thanks, boss."
The dog goes back to hacking away at the training dummy. When you go to one of the carpenter's shops you find a gryphon sawing some wood. She looks up at you.
"Do you have an order, sir?"
>>379497
The two of you return to your workshop. She stops you at the door.
"Will you be punishing me now, Master?"
>>379498
"Where do you want to put it? There's no room for a ballista one the dining and sleeping level. We could fit one or two one the manufacturing level, but there is no point in saving the workshops if we are all dead. I could put the almost wherever you want in the mines, but there is nothing down there to protect."
>>379500
A couple of dogs both raise their hands, then look at each other.
"How about a demonstration and lesson first? Have you ever used a sword before?"

I'll run a paw over the veins of gems.
"What do I think? I think you lot are going to keep me busy for a rather long time."
I'll grin at the dog.
"And I couldn't be happier. Looks like we've both got our work cut out for us. Gem! Let's go! Grab a few raw gems and let's get back to the shop! No time to waste."

"Alright. I'll ask him after I'm done eating."
His attention returns to his meal.
>>379524
"A green recruit? Goody."
They both spend a bit of time lecturing and teaching you how to hold a sword and execute some basic techniques.
[1d10+1]
After that they spar for a couple of rounds so you can see what a sword fight looks like.
[1d10]
>>379527
"Yes, sir. Master Crunch has praised my work several times."
They will need to more to have enough beds for every current member, but having more beds for future members would be good. Right now there are only eight members of the fortress' military.
>>379532
She picks a few up off the ground while you break some off the walls. After you both have enough you return to your workshop.
Roll #1 3 + 1 = 4 / Roll #2 8 = 8

You cut them up into nice spheres, just like oranges. Gem tries her hoof at a few different shapes.
[1d10-2]
>>379550
You hack away at the dummy a few times. One of the dogs stops you after you miss and hit yourself a few times.
"No good. Want another lesson?"

She nods and bows.
"It will be done, sir."

"They're doing quite fine. Now that I have learned to better teach them, they are fast picking up the material and have proven to be a great help among the workshop."
"And I did discuss armaments with the militia leader, but he insisted that I devote my resources towards… siege weaponry."

Her eyes quickly run up and down your body and she gulps.
"Yes, Master."
She slowly turns and climbs into your bed.
>>379567
She relaxes a bit when she realizes you aren't going to use her. Not long after she falls asleep.
Goodnight.
>>379568
She tries to pull her hoof away from her eye but blood starts leaking out. She whimpers and covers her eye again.

"Hmm. That's what I thought."
I'll hop down to the first aid kit, and pull out a small cloth. Clambering back up my workchair, I'll hold the cloth out.
"Come here for a moment. I need you to hold this against your eye until we get you to the hospital. A gemcutter's eyes are as important as their paws."

She grabs the cloth from you. Whimpering, she quickly pulls her hoof back and places the bandage over her eye, then presses on it with her hoof. In the moment that her eyes was exposed you could see a large, glittering chunk of orange.
>>379580
"We don't mind."
They try again.

"A good point, Prophecy. If the trap makers come up with designs for that, it seems worthwhile. But it is all irrelevant if our warriors can't even stand against our enemies."

I nod.
"Alright. Me and my assistants shall get to work on that immediately then."
I head back to my workshop, and…
I take out a piece of the lesser quality pieces of steal and attempt to hammer out a design that I can use as a pattern for future pieces.

And of course my lovely assistants aid me. I'll let you roll for that though.

"Yes I am, but the other dog is out right now."
He takes gem back to an operating room. A few minutes later he leads her out with a patch over her eye.
"The eye is a mess, but most of it is still there. Once Lorik wakes up you can have him try to fix her eye. I'd not take that patch off her eye, if I were you."
He practically growls when he says Lorik's name.
>>379620
"Good to hear. We need every dog we can get."
Only if you want it to be. You will be rolling at -1 now.

The doctor growls again.
"He might of. A theif stabbed a dog and nearly killed him. I was operating on him when that damn fool came bumbling along and nearly killed him with his magic. I fixed him up as best I could, but now all there is to do is wait."
>>379644
What were you trying to do?
>>379641
The head miner nods and gives you a couple of dogs. You lead them back to the barracks and show them where to dig. While they do so another dog gives you a scrap of paper.
"Boss, I just found this. It's what the diamond dog merchants want the next time they show up."
>>379649
"You are doing pretty good for a beginner. Wanna keep going?"
Your character sheet says you brought an axe and a shield with you. You don't have to train with those if you use them.

You forge a dummy set of armor. It doesn't look very good and there are several places where it is too thick, too thin, or provides no protection.
>>379650

Oops.
>>379653
It would take more doing then we have time for tonight, or even tomorrow. Once you get rid of negative modifiers it becomes very hard to get positive modifiers.
You go down to the hospital. Pom and his slave are there, talking to the doctor.

I'll look at the unconscious Lorik.
"And if that lump wakes up, tell him he gets one chance to fix her eye. One."

Show the list to Prophecy.
"Moloch can make the weapons and armor, I'm sure. The tools, instruments, splints, and… wooden crowns? …could all be made by the carpenters.
"We should buy seeds from the next caravan.
"Could we form a fishing party? Have them go fish at the lake?"

"That isn't the problem. I can't interrupt your lessons by sending you back here every few hours. Your orders are to rest and heal until you are fit to resume your lessons. And you do need more lessons. Especially on how to control that strength of yours."
I'll fold my arms.
"Now, are you going to disobey your master's orders and weep like a pup, or are you going to be a good slave, stop crying, and follow your orders to rest?"

Just roleplay. The slaves can get a bonus, I guess.
You make a perfect set of armor out of silver. It won't be useful in combat, but it will sell for a nice price.

You find several more clusters of citrite.
>>379683
He takes the list and looks at it.
"Several dogs are already fishing in the nearby ponds. They are catching small fish. You should be able to find a few barrels of preserved fish in the new food stores behind the kitchen. I'll let the carpenters know what to focus on making."
>>379687
"Follow me."
He takes you to a back room and has his unicorn slave hold up a few anatomical charts for diamond dogs and uses his donkey slave as an anatomical model for equines. He also goes over a variety of plants that can be used for medicinal purposes.

"In the event she loses that eye, she'll need a replacement. A shame we don't have any enchanters laying about, but a false eye will have to do, if it comes to it."
I'll place the cut gems in their bin, and then investigate the shards of the citrine Gem shattered. Any of it useable? '1d10'

Ah yes. The glassmaker.
But I'll wait on that until I know for certain her eye is lost. Don't want to just have a fake eye rolling around, after all.

Suppose I should have cleaned that up first.
Giving a small exclamation of my displeasure, I'll sweep the debris on the floor into the waste bin, as well as mop up as much of the floor as I can with a loose rag.
"This just hasn't been my day."
Crystal slivers can be nasty business, so I suppose it's back to the Doc to make sure they're all out.

Each piece of armor costs a bar. The hands, feet, chest, legs, and head need armor.
You make a pair of high boots and a pair of gauntlets. The slaves watch as you work.
"Master, will you give us another lesson and let us make some?"

Ignoring your slave and paying absolutely no mind to leaving supporting columns, you dig out a large area. The first inkling that this may have been a bad idea you get is a ton of rocks crashing down on you. You have caused a cavein and are now trapped.

His smile grows wider and wider as he listens.
"Very good, very good! You got it all perfectly. Now pay attention, there is still more we have to cover."
He pulls some books out of a chest and shows you different passages from them.
