Razorcrypts--a DF AAR

[Razgovory]

Wow.  Someone trusts me with a spear.

15th Slate 114, Mid-Spring





The hard-core educational system of Razorcrypts has loaded another round into the cylinder of childhood as young Norgy is stricken with one of the demonic tremors we are becoming known for.





Our strategy of throwing our children to the ethereal cyclone of demonic influence at an early age looks as though it may pay off again as the kid is very busy and not at all killing anyone.

This is a larch amulet. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. This object menaces with spikes of larch. On the item is an image of Asmel Hammerworked the dwarf and dwarves in pyrite.

Asmel Hammerworked is surrounded by the dwarves. The artwork relates to the ascension of the dwarf Asmel Hammerworked to the position of Queen of the Kindled Boats in 17.

It seems Norgy paid attention in history class. Now he's a legendary woodcrafter.





Meanwhile, training continues. CdM and Jake took a turn in the dojo, adding another legendary dwarf to the ranks.


Well, 35 new dwarves just arrived looking for a place to stay. No smiths.

This brings us over 100 dwarves.

[PDH]

Things are going too smoothly.  I expect a dragon-turtle will show up.

[PDH]

Also, I hope PDH gets that "dorenrash" looked at, it could be contagious.

[MadImmortalMan]

Yes, it's been shockingly peaceful so far. I think that might be due to the pathetically small export numbers the fort's put up so far. Which doesn't explain the massive immigration, but hey.  Two years in and only a couple snatchers and a thief or two. That's really unusual. Might just mean all the vile forces of darkness are going to show up at once...

[DontSayBanana]

I, for one, look forward to seeing if my dwarf alter ego is as useless as my primary one.  So far, so good...

If we keep going the way we are, you'll be a legendary demon-posessed crafter of some type before you reach the third grade.

Wow, Jake! What's so special about that cloak of yours?


Umm. Eww.

If you need new names, I can pass on my other aliases.

13th Felsite 114, Late Spring

An Elven caravan from a place called Lolo has appeared on the horizon. Tonitrus is going to try not to anger them, but if they get pissy, we don't particularly care. Elves tend to be assholes, and if we can get our own wood they really don't matter that much. Unless they decide to go to war against us.


Plans for the fort this year:

1: We need a crapload more living space. Our miners just can't keep up with the workload despite their great skill. No dwarf shall need to sleep in the meeting hall.

2: Build the kitchen and bar.

3: We need some crypts. There are a few coffins in stock made by Brain and Queequeg, so burials shouldn't have to wait too long, but the crypts themselves need to be dug and cleaned out. Dwarves who go unburied tend to haunt those who forget.


4: Increase food production dramatically. We've been eating off of trade, and if the elven assmunchers do start to inevitably commit hate crimes against us, we would be cut off from one of our sources of food. Not to mention our population just grew by 40.

5: Offices for the officers need to be built, and possibly a jail. CdM has been appointed Hammerer, and may want some ability to lock up miscreants rather than simply hammering them. Then again, maybe not.




So we bought every single useful item the elves brought with them. And a few other stuff in case the demons if insane tyrades decide they want to make them into soul-eating rope reed baby rattles or something. Our wealth total continues to rise, and with it, our visibility in the world market and our attractiveness as a raiding target!

[PDH]

Come to Razorcrypts! 
Cold?  We got it!
Lack of food? We got it!
Artifacts stolen by birds? WE GOT IT!

See the "Old wagon site"
Gawk at our "platoon of savants"
Get trapped on top of a wall!

Razorcrypts, it has it all!

Ed has finished carving fortifications on the archery tower.



Well probably stick a stockpile of ammo up there.

For reference, one level below the tower top level and a couple above the wall so you can see where it is.




It would be easier to see with stonesense or something, but I've never used that. Maybe I'll learn it.


Berkut has cleaned the place of debris and made some chairs, tables and statues. Now he's getting to work smoothing the walls and floors of Rochester Castle.




We now have 13 legendary dwarves, two of which are children. Some of the military dwarves are legendary multiple times over.






The meeting hall/living quarters level is expanding. The large room to the right will be the kitchens/bar area.

Dearest mother.

Hope this letter finds you in good health. I have arrived at Razorcrypts safe and sound wearing the green wool sweater you knitted for me. The weather in these parts is of the inclement sort I daresay, so I'm glad to have proper stone over my head once again.  The dwarves here are an eccentric lot, one of them cried out "Who the freak are you!" the moment he saw me come down the entrance, or words to that effect. Peculiar one for sure.

Others have been more sociable, one PDH even expressed great interest in my wool sweater, going so far as to proclaim his ownership of it should misfortune befall me. A gruff jest for sure! The overseer of this outpost immediately recognized my worth when he approached me and in his earthy idiom explained that I would be indispensable to the outpost in applying myself to interior decoration via moving things around.

So make no mistake, the Legbiters are starting to make their mark on the world! 

Your devoted son.
