Diamond Dog Fortress Campfire No.429154[Last 50 Posts]
It has been about a month since the raiding party returned to the fortress and the food issue was confronted. Every diamond dog in the fortress is once again eating three hearty meals a day now that the farms are expanded and frequently fertilized. The excavation of the new fortress has been slowed down considerably by the amount of stone and rubble created by the miners. Even with several craftsdogs and masons working overtime the rough stones continue to pile up in stockpiles, rooms, and hallways.

You know what you are doing, why have you stopped?

You door swings open and Prophesy rushes in.
"Alpha, there's a goat coming. The hunters that saw her say they think she is a dignitary or diplomat of some sort. I've already given the orders that all slaves be ordered to the pins, their owners' rooms, or the workshops they work in; I hope you do not mind."

Down once again at the dining level, you dig out a fifth of the new dining hall on your own. The dogs working on the other parts have all stopped their work and are watching you, along with the slaves.
>>429158
You make a loop of leather, but the only way you can make it hold that shape is by sewing it together.

You start to dig out another fifth, but Memory slows you down and directs you pawscoop by pawscoop for a few minutes. It isn't until you step back that you realize she was helping you to dig pillars.
>>429162
Pearl, Fence, Pick, and a female slavegryphon are all working in one large carpentry workshop. They gryphon stands and bows as you enter.
"How may I help you, mam?"
>>429163
You send a slave on his way back to the pins to fetch you a few items, and soon you have several small pieces of bone, stone, and thrown away metal. With these you start making hooks that be sewn onto one end of a collar and threaded through a loop on the other end. The idea of clasps occurs to you, but you would need the help of a metalworker for that.
>>429164
Prophesy follows you, and grabs the two diamond dogs wearing the most impressive armor from the barracks to come with the two of you. The four of you encounter her at the top of the hole left by the aquifer plug. She is tall enough to have to look down a little to meet your gaze.
"Greets, noble diamond dog. We have much to discuss."
>>429166
Closer. Work has slowed to a crawl because there is too much loose rock and no where to put it. Gem, Copper, and Quartz sit in front of your workstation, watching you attentively.
>>429168
Brown and Earth still have a little more to learn, but you think Zebra has a good grasp on how to craft metal items, armor, and weapons.

First will be Gem's lessons on carving. Then I'll take Copper to the smiths so she can learn the basics of metalcraft, and Quartz to the stonecrafters so he can learn the basics of that.
So, first, Gem's moving on to harder lessons. Let's see if I can't provide a good enough example. '1d10+4' to carve, '1d10' to properly teach the method.
Roll #1 8 + 4 = 12 / Roll #2 10 = 10

Prophesy barks something at a passing dog in Diamond tongue and he runs off ahead of your group. When the four of you arrive all of the dishes have been removed from the tables, and all of the crumbs and spills have vanished. The two militia dogs stand guard at the entrance to the dining hall. She looks around the room.
"I had thought your fortress would be larger than this."
>>429172
You dig out another chunk of the dining hall, but your work is getting slower. Could you be getting tired already?'
>>429173
As soon as you start to teach Gem she levitates a rough gem off you desk and, in a flash of magical light, sets down a perfectly carved Gem.
"Thank you, Teacher, but I think the others need you help more."
Gem is at a skill level where she can no longer be given bonuses by being taught or watching demonstrations. You may use those rolls on either Copper or Quartz.

"Will you be giving them a lesson first, Master? You know much more than I do still, even if I know how to make things without injuring myself often."

Liquid metal splashes in all direction, but luckily Hammer's face is there to shield you and the pegasus slave. He gives on short, high pitched shriek then collapses as the smell of burning flesh and hair fills the room.

"Oh, that one. I had heard everydog would move there, mistress. This one would be stripped as bare as it could be then filled with traps after it was empty."
>>429225
"It depends on your work. Doing anything with your paws would have a chance of popping the stitches, but you should be safe so long as it is not precision work or mining."

"Lots of orders."
"Foot armor, arm armor, leg armor, silver bolts and arrows for the militia and hunters, metal studs to decorate items, metal crafts, the list goes on and on."
"Oh, in case you are interested, we finally tracked down the weapons wielded by the slain bushwoolies thieves and metaled them down."
"I call the new metal Bushwoolium."
"I call him an idiot and call the metal iron. Interested in working with steel?"

"Good. If you have any questions, ask the two smith dogs that work the forges. They can teach you far more than I can. If they wonder why you're asking, tell them I told you to not keep any questions to yourself. I'll be back in a while to check up on you."
And once that's handled, I'll run Quartz over to the stonecrafting station.
"Here is where you'll likely be working, Quartz. Stonecraft is a valuable part of any fortress, and anything from crafts to carvings comes through the paws of a skilled stonedog."

I'll take a small chunk of rock.
"Now, I'm going to demonstrate the utter basics of carving stone. It's been a while, so I'm probably fairly rusty at it. Much as I told Copper, once you've got the gist of it, I'm turning you loose on the stonedogs to learn and practice."

Your arm grows a little sore as you carefully hammer the steel, which is much harder to work with than soft copper. Nonetheless, you are eventually rewarded with a great quality steel breastplate. Perhaps you should keep it for yourself? It is the first one produced in the fortress, after all, and it is much to big for the Alpha to wear.

Or just keep it as a conversation piece. Well, whatever. Poet could wake up whenever, so I can't leave without fear of her bedazzling herself again. That is an interesting trick, though. I wonder if it would work on other dogs.
Anyway, I'll tidy up the shop, and then tell Spinel and Gem that they can fetch Quartz, Copper, and Luster, and then head to the bathing area. If anydog gives them gruff, just tell them that the Gemcutter doesn't want smelly slaves.
Sniffing myself, I'll say that I'll end up going after Poet's woken up.
And then I guess I'll wait.

The three that fought are tied to metal rings on the walls of the room. The other goats stay silent.
No goat ran. One of the goats obeyed the walk command after her collar was tugged on a few times.
>>429519
Not really. Just bitches and studs eating their meals while taking a break from their work. You see diamond dogs from every profession in the fortress here.
>>429520
She looks concerned.
"Why not, Master? I was told that diamond dogs need meat to maintain their strength."
>>429521
The three of them leave. After about about an hour Poet stirs.
"Uhnn, wha-? What?"
She sits bolt upright and looks around, then locks her eyes on you.
"Pom! What happened? Why am I lying in some makeshift bed?""

"Mend is a more advanced and stronger form of the basic healing spell. It is also more dangerous when a miscast happens. Miscasting will result in making bad things even worse, which can lead to death. But when it succeeds… it can restore the most grievous of wounds completely. I want all three of you to master it eventually. It will save lives."

You are in your cramped room with Quill when a diamond dog knocks on your door.

"Are you ready yet, Master?"

There is a diamond dog standing outside.
"Miss Aidi, there are diplomats from the zebra and pony capitols wanting to meet either with this fortress's Alpha, or with its head trader."
You can ignore this if you want to.
>>432025
"It's a brush. You promised to brush my coat before you started work today, remember?"
Her headdress flashes as it reflects torchlight.
Roll.

She smiles.
"Thank you, Master. Whenever a dog hears the words Banana Hammock I want them to think of you and your skill in training your slaves."
>>432035
"Hello, Crunch. We've finished the last of the beds. Can you try and find a runt bitch by the name of Koka? She put in an order for some tables and chairs and we want to clarify a few things."
>>432048

You put them off until spring, but luckily spring has just arrived.

She shakes her head.
"No, mistress. I understand that it is a tradition here for diamond dogs to name their slaves after adopting them."
>>432057
"We want to know if she is certain that she wants the tables and chairs made from wood instead of stone, metal, or glass. We've already got a lot of furniture that is either going to be burned or sold when the fortress moves out of this hill and into the stone and we don't want waste any more wood."
>>432058
You do, in fact, remember promising to brush not only her coat but her mane as well. Maybe being around your slave is helping your memory get better?

He explains to her that she should choose her own name, and that it should come from the heart. She thinks for a bit.
"Mistress, may I choose my name after my first day of work?"

She nods and strikes a pose.
"I will, Doctor, I promise!"

He gives you a few directions on how to get there from here.

A goat that leaps into the bush screams as something inside stabs it and another arrow pieces its side. The other arrows flew well, for the most part, and a pin-cushioned bushwoolie stumbles out of the bush and collapses in a pool of blood.

"Thank you again, miss diamond dog. I am honored to help yoou help the fortress, as always. Come along, Master."
Memory turns and walks out of the gemmcutter's shop.
>>432273
You are back.
"What'd she want?"
>>432276
They were using melee weapons? I could have sworn I gave them melee weapons.
He sobs something and cradles the goat carcass in his arms as he leaves. The rest of you follow the tracks and find a few lived-in looking rabbit holes.

They agree to most of your prices without much haggling.
"It's been a pleasure doing business with you. Is there anything else you would like to speak to us about?"
>>432281
They each nod their heads.
"Yes, Master."
"Unless there is something we need to do."
>>432285
She yawns and nods.
"Yes, Master. I slept very well."
>>432310
There are too many things to write down with this quest and I always seem to write down the stuff that never gets brought back up. Oh well.
The diamond dogs and slaves do as well.
[10d10]
>>432313
Yup. Gotta carve those gems. Gem is with you, helping.
>>432315
They each wish you a good day and leave the room. After getting to the forging level you spot the smiths unloading bars and instruments made of iron.
"Hello, Molcoh."
"How'd you like you're taste of steel?"
>>432319
She leads you down to the level you fainted in. You two are the only ones down here.
"White what?"
>>432320
The unicorn speaks first.
"Cloudtouch. It's a pegasus town the touches a small hill. They export mostly rainbow juice, rainbow dye, and cloud fluff."
The zebra speaks.
"We come from the donkey town of Lookpillage to the south and west. It's a long journy, nearly month."

You eat all but one portion of that barrel of food you found."

Good girl. Though, I suppose I've got time for a break. I'll take Luster and Spinel and check on Copper on Quartz.
"I'm leaving the shop to you for a moment, Gem. The only ones who are to take carved gems are the merchants. Uncarved gems don't leave the shop."

You fire a poison bolt down a hole and pull out a rabbit. The other diamond dogs and slaves manage to bludgeon to death eight rabbits from three holes while sixteen rabbits escape from four holes. The diamond dogs stick their arms down three holes and prevent any rabbits from getting out of them.

Sure.

"Oh. That was snow. It all melted when it got warm outside. It will be back next year."
She starts pick up chunks of rough gems and putting them in her bag.
"Help me out, would you?"
>>432365
"Yes, Master."
Both Sppinel and Luster have been learning slowly but steadily under the tutelage of the diamond dogs who share their crafts.
Quartz is about to move up from Dabbling to Novice, and Copper is halfway through novice.

"It has been an absolute pleasure doing business with you."
"Now if you will excuse us, we must retire."
They each drink half the golden salve in the vial before returning to their wagons.

>>432323
"Excellent. Wooden chairs and stone tables. Want to make your targets now?"

With a few tips from a gryphon guarding the food stockpile you are quickly able to make several different fake meat items out of beans. You've got steaks, sausages, roasts, and stews that could fool a lion.

You find a few thick logs and cut them into things about as tall as a diamond dog's chest, then affix them to wooden tripods so they will stay standing when hit. Simple, but they should work.
>>432397
She laughs.
"Nonono, Master. It is good for you to worry about that, but this is fine. If these gems were going anywhere they would have been taken by now. It's common sense."
>>432404
That's Gryphon, one of Crunch's gryphons. He eats mice and such that try to get into the food stores, and, rumor has it, cats that hunt on his turf.
You storm back to your empty room, the sounds of life fading away when you close your door.
>>432406
"Very good, Chip. We still have to dig out a layer for the farmers, a small layer above that to irrigate the fields, a layer for woodworkers, and a layer for the seamsters and seamstresses. Once all of that is done we can build a grave level and start the hunt for lava in earnest.:

Your fancy clothes are off, replaced by some clothing you don't mind getting dirty. Quill looks up from the bed.

Oops.
There are no farmers down here, but there is a dog working to smooth the walls that have already been dug out.
"Are you here to help out? I need you to dig the south alway long enough to fit five standard sized workshope with a diving wall between each of them, a farming area as long and as wide as the hall, and a small stockpile for seeds to the north of the farm field. Got that?"
>>432480
You hack and slash at the dummies with the rest of your squad, and you can tell that they are glad to finally be training with their leader. After a few hours the training weapon you were using is looking frayed and splintered, and you are just as tired as the others.
"Time for a break, boss?"
>>432490
"Of course, Mistress."
He shuts the door behind the two of you.

Any sort of armor other than shield and helms, yes. There are also orders for billon figurines and toys hammered to a wooden plank on the wall over three bins full of billon bars.
>>432522
"Hmm? Oh, we only practice with these. It's all fun and games until somedog gets his leg mangled or his paw cut off."
>>432524
He laughs.
"No, our plants are hardy things. All they need to grow is a bit of muddy rock. Speaking of muddy rock, there is going to be a small later above the farms for the bucket brigade that will irrigate these fields. I've still not been told if we are replacing the ceiling with metal grates or if there will be stone walkways for them instead."

"I know what you mean, Mistress."
He follows you up and out of the dirt fortress and up to the farms above the fortress. You can see some diamond dogs with with copper blades cutting down tall, segmented, wooden stalks. There are also a few buffalo helping to dig up potatoes while the gryphon watches closely as a diamond dog tends to a bee stung buffalo's nose.

"Hey Pom, come to watch me work?"

It is the best thing you have ever eaten. The false flesh melts in your mouth and reminds you of the fresh meat served by the hunters in your old fortress when you were a pup.

Once he starts plucking at the stems instead of berries he does an even better job than you were doing. However, he doesn't eat any of them.

It's slow going as you have to stop and check you aren't going to far while digging at first, but after an hour you get the hang of it and are able to finish the rest of the farm room.
"Good work. Now the seed room and I think you're done for the day."
>>432874
"Because it's food and drink sitting in the middle of the hallway. Both of us would do exactly the same, Master. There's some fresh meat for you in one of them, Master. Still nice and juicy."
>>432877
Yep, you made two sets of five. At the trade depot you can find ponies and zebras starting to pack p their wares.
"What can we do for you, sir? Some food and drink? Maybe a nice vest?"
She huffs at you.
"A fair shot? That's all, just fair?"

"I never was much for flattery, but you're better than at least half of the other dogs."
I'll shrug.
"Besides, having room to improve means that you'll never lack something to do. And besides…"
I'll scratch the side of my nose.
"You hit the mark when it counts."

"Good save, Pomelo."
"Poet, I'm guessing you're going to be spending the lunch break with your little brother?"
"Eat me, Stake."
The four of them laugh and leave, taking their weapons and ammunition with them.

You find them in a test shaft that was dug while searching for a way past the aquifer. Purple and Green are giving Banana advice while she tries to heal a wounded mouse.
>>432914
You quickly dig out a room for the seeds. While digging you make sure to minimize the entrances into the room without disturbing the future workflow, and in addition to this you carve shelves into the walls for seed bags so they will not need to rest of the floor. The other diamond dog pokes his head into the room and looks at the shelves.
"Why is it always you dig dogs that come up with the simplest, smartest ideas? Anyways, good work. Enjoy the rest of the day."

Some of the dogs manage to catch five rabbits that dart out of a hole, but you and the others fail to catch 11 more rabbits as the disappear into the brush. You now have thirteen dead rabbits and a bushwoolie.

Poet grins down at you.
"Maybe we'll find out the truth of that eventually. Anyways, lunch in the dining hall or out in the sun? I did a favor for a few of the farmers so they owe me some food."

The seed room is perfectly made. You go into the farm room and start smothing the floor while carving small microchannels for water and roots to run through."
>>432932
"Alright. Follow me."
She grabs her bow and quiver then leads you back to the fortress and the above ground farms. While she chats with the farmers a dog walks over to you.

>>432944
"Rodents, lizards, and a bushwoolie I threw in the dump. I hope you don't mind but I sold his knife to the smiths for some diamond dog food."

They talk and gossip a bit, trying to keep Banana happy as she accidentally fries way more mice than she saves.
>>432950
"It really depends where you are. If you go outside a lot shoes are the way to go, but if you stay inside socks are much more comfortable."
"For all those figurines we could get you twenty four socks or twelve copper horseshoes."
>>432951
He looks down at the ground.
"I'm just the miner in charge of making the walls here look nice, but if you say it will help I believe you. Very detailed, too. Ever try your hand and engraving walls?"

He walks up the staircase.

You find Pomelo talking to a dirty farmer dog and an archer bitch.

"What? No, I was only-"
"I've got the food Pom. You making friends?"
>>433006
"A sausage? Well, maybe you can a zebra book with it."

"Well, I'm ready when you are. I know a nice picnic spot."
>>433026
"Of course I think so, Master. We can fly like pegasi, are strong like earth ponies, and can manipulate small objects like unicorns. We are the ideal slave. By my count you will need two, plus one more if you can find and talk to the owner of the last one."
>>433028
"Great job. Once we get some of the confusion pushed aside I'll have you and a few others make the catwalk. You've got the day off, Bark, enjoy it."

The drawbridge is functioning, but the walkway of death could use a few spike traps on it, and the ground below could use some more cage traps. The bushwoolies have some sort of magic that tricks the traps into letting them pass, but as of yet none have been able to make it this far without being seen and chased off or killed.

They leave. Poet leads you to a shallow pound surrounded by trees out of sight of the fortress entrance.

They nod and carry off the deer. You follow your instincts and eventually find a pond. The water is dark, however. and Inside is swimming a large, pale fish. A flash of pure terror grips your soul, you know not why, until you realize it is a blind thing washed up from some underground river. You easily grab it out of the water and skewer it on a bolt.

Green looks up.
"Did you need me, Master?"

"You really should. I don't think I'd ever seen you before the raid."
