this can't be that bad

You're just asking for it now.

We arrived at the spot Vamparagon outlined for us today. It's just a flat glassland, but it has a brook. We wont be able to rely on any natural defenses, though.

Xusha decided that the best possible idea was to dig straight down. I proposed that we should build shelter instead, to which Nagi replied:

"Sure Peregrine. We'll do your thing."

Turns out she lied. Xusha was digging straight down in an instant.

Later that day, Xusha gave a shout. Apparently she had hit something.

Something big: http://i43.tinypic.com/10h818g.jpg

Nagi sent Juliana, Crystal Lion and myself down to check it out. Juliana found some shrubs that apparently were edible. She was collecting some samples when Crystal showed up with a spider web on her sword. Juliana didn't pick up on it immediately, but as someone who had engraved walls in the depths of the mountainhomes, I did.

Giant cave spider web. The sort of web that was made by spiders who were known to eat dwarves whole.

We sealed the cavern off for now. Hopefully nothing got out.

Howls and a rotten stench have been coming up from the cavern. According to Crystal, there's a troll down there. Just great. I sure hope Vamparagon doesn't show up and tell us to go down there because if he does then he's got another thing coming.

We've started work on some living accommodations in the meantime. Xusha's dug out some bedrooms for us and is currently at work on a dining room. I've been hard at work getting the stone in the bedrooms smoothed into a proper floor as well as getting some furniture made. We didn't have a carpenter, so Nagi told Alderos to get to work making us some beds. He's none too happy about the arrangement.

Juliana came running into camp today. Apparently, she had been attacked. No investigation was necessary, for at that moment, the camp came under attack by rhesus macaques who were hoping to steal our supplies. Needless to say, we were victorious. Crystal and Alderos are at work disposing of the last of them as we speak.

During the heat of battle, two more dwarves showed up. Apparently Vamp had sent them both to help us. One is an extremely skilled metalcrafter, the other, a talented "burninator" named Chamberino.

While I welcome the help, Xusha and I can barely keep up with the demand for shelter anymore. : (

Pere, may I see a description of my dwarf as she is in the game?

Edit: Nevermind, read your intro. Youngest female dwarf in the group right now, huh?

Upon space, I would like to be Glassmaker, like I was in the original fort. I think you should keep both of them running :P

Btw, just Erik for the name.

I'm starting to see a trend with these migrants. I mean, they show up, and then rhesus macaques show up as well. I've only met two of them, mrsebi and Zeo, but I hear the other two are a soap maker and a lye maker.

Xusha and I started on rooms for the these migrants before they came but we're one short. : (

Yay surgeon genural in the hizzouse.

My epic digging skills apparently almost got us killed. Now that's good mining! I wonder when I'll give out and randomly die.

Yay for being a girl. XD.

Vamparagon sent a supply caravan to aid us today. At first, I thought that was pretty swell of him. When they got there though, they told us this:

"You gotta pay for this stuff."

Apparently Vamp expects us to have a booming economy by now.

Since we could really use the supplies, we devised a devious plan. We had Nagi lie to them that Xusha had cholera, typhoid, scurvy, tetanus, influenza, dysentery, measles and scarlet fever. We got lucky, and they all went running. They left their stuff here too. Oh yeah.

I would like to be in line for a miner dwarf.

Pere, you're starting to neglect this thread again! Update!
