The Center of it All

At least for now. It kind of looks like an alien. I didn't plan for it to look like an alien, but I'll take it.

That's the Zefod Fondledchanneled, the manager, hauling a bag to a stockpile.

I feel like I'm going for a "pod" layout this time.

Not the Trade Depot

I thought this would've made a fine trade depot room, then I found out that it was "too close to the edge of the map.

Still, Kol Roughrawness has to dig it out. The way the room is made is important to later plans.

11 Trade Depot

Yeah, the bodies. We're trying to deal with that. It's difficult when there are so few of us and so many of them, but we're getting there.

What happened? Nobody is quite sure, something hit us after the were-elf *flicks tongue* It was violent, a scaly thing with a long blue tail. We killed it, but with many injured, and then...blood. The few of us who were healthy tried so hard to take care of the rest, but it never worked. Some of them even shrunk away from us when we tried to give them water. And then...they were gone, bodies strewn everywhere. *flicks tongue* I don't even remember...last one was poor Urvad. He'd gone running around, grabbing arms and armor,said he had to go train. Then...he was gone, his head smashed in with a copper pick. Imush must've done it. Called himself the Elevated Cut-Ram of Lancing, but strangely he keeps insisting that he couldn't have done it. This whole thing is so bizarre... *flicks tongue*

Sure you want to visit here? I mean, we could use the help...

9 Gems and Mechanisms

Haven't been here in a while. We still have a pretty big stock of gems to show the traders when they come. Speaking of which, there's an elven one on its way. Maybe this one will have better luck than the last...*flicks tongue*

7 Bedrooms

And the bedrooms. Around the time the hall was being dug out, we got a big wave of migrants, put us around 40 strong, even after the rampaging were-elk. And the little dorm was getting crowded, so the next priority was to make a proper bedroom for every dwarf. Ambitious, but it got pretty close to finished.

Vucar decided her room was going to get smoothed out first. We're not sure exactly what happened to her.

5 New Hall

Vucar didn't want to have to settle in dirt, thought it was offensive, so she insisted on digging down to solid rock. We finally hit it here, consistently, so she dug out a modest hall with pillars.

Don't mind the clutter. *flicks tongue* We'll sort it out, eventually.

3 Thob's tomb

Thob was the first casualty here. We hadn't prepared a proper crypt, but Vucar decided one had to be made pronto, thoguht it was shameful to leave a body out so long. *dry chuckle* So we dug this one out of the stone even before the bedrooms were started, smoothed and engraved. Nicest room in the fort at the moment.

They even engraved a nice picture of him being eaten by a monitor lizard. You have to appreciate that kind of attention to detail.

1 Manager's Office

Nice view, huh? The gem window really adds to the room. Speaking of which, who owns this place now? Let me think...*flicks tongue*

Oh yeah, Logem. Came here a bit more recently. Downstairs from here is what used to be the fort entrance, but Zucar, I think it was, the rookie in the militia. She took it on herself to decide that it wasn't dwarfy enough? So she dug out a new tunnel and made a larger entrance, which is now the main one.

She probably should've walled off the old entrance sooner, but we took care of that, eventually. Just need to get the old door put away.
