Gateblows - 1052 Early Spring by Chthon

Map Description:

A few things happened during the winter. We had another run in with a werewolf, and we found a subteranean cave inhabited by a troll and a civilization of antmen. Tunnelling progress has been halted for now while the dwarves dig out a more permanent residence.

Point of Interest: New trade level

( 1052 Early Spring → onwards )

Next winter the trade depot will be moved to this location to provide better defense of the caravans.

This level will house 16 dwarves:
4 craftsdwarves
2 glassblowers
2 weavers
2 dyers
2 clothiers
2 leatherworkers
2 jewelers

On the left is the living and recreation quarters for those dwarves, on the right will be the various workplaces. - Chthon

I'm running a Let's Play of this on here and in the channel LetsplayDF. Please feel free to drop on by and leave requests. If I'm on I'll be happy to try to grant them. If not then hopefully I'll see them when I get back.

Good to know werewolves can be defeated...

It would be fun to know that dwarves that get bitten and survive would turn into werewolves themselves too, but I guess that'll have to come later with disease and magic.

Δ 170. Werewolf kill
Vucar the Woodcutter killed a werewolf here after hacking off both of its legs and then cutting him in two. He's really become proficient in slaying the beasts.

His two woodcutter prodigies did not make it in time to help but they did watch and cheer him on afterwards.

They were wearing completely iron armor minus the boots as those weren't done yet. Now the sets are complete and they have little fear for the beasts. The butcher however who was being chased though had much fear and wishes he had stayed inside. - Chthon
167. Farm

( 1051 Early Autumn to onwards )
My farmer survived his infection luckily, however now he has a permanently dented head it seems. - Chthon
166. Hospital

( 1051 Early Autumn to onwards )
The hospital and sleeping/eating quarters are finally completed. Hopefully they will continue to only serve as my butcher's new study to keep us updated on our supply count. - Chthon
166. Ramp

( 1051 Early Autumn to onwards )
The ramp continues below the surface going deep. What will we find down there? Will it be friendly? More importantly, are we running from werewolves into something worse? - Chthon

159. Tomb

( 1051 Early Autumn to onwards )
Here lies Kreiger I, Moody Blues I, and Ast the miner. May they rest in piece. - Chthon
Δ 129. Caverns

( 1052 Early Spring to onwards )
The miners broke into a cave on this level, after immidiately spotting a troll, they decide to wall it off for now until they are better equipped to deal with the menace. - Chthon
