Bloodline:PuzzledBridges

The Story of PuzzledBridges This is the still in progress bloodline game of the fortress PuzzledBridges

Year 1 - TrueWolves (Drake)

Spring

Well, I may have failed in my soldiering duties... but my mining and other skills have netted me another job! Me and a band of a few others are all to start out an outpost on a river and waterfall. The resources in the area are said to be great, if we can reach them at least... I can't wait to set off myself. Being I am the book keeper of supplies, I am also going to keep a log of are doings here, as well as some drawings in some paints I won in a bet with a drunk elf. Damn elves can't hold there alcohol I say! Sucks to be them. Perhaps if this outpost prospers, I can lead it's military... and be legendary threw out the mountain homes... That would be the day.

Granite 1st - Well, we made it here on the very start of the year... what luck, I told them I only plan to lead the first year before I wish to do simpler things, I can't be known if I'm the one sitting in the desks all the time. We will start digging near the lower river's edge... I just hope those fish... 'carp' Won't be coming out to eat us. I'v heard the stories of those evil fish.

Granite 3rd - We finished digging the entry tunnel, it's quite long. That way we can set up traps if need be. The dirt here is easy to dig threw for are crew as well.

Granite 8th - The farms are up! and so be the Trade Depot, things are going perfectly. File:Granite 8th Farms PuzzledBridges.gif

Granite 12th - We need beds, and stone for a bridge, so the real mining has began.

Granite 24th - Damn those carp!!! They won't let us finish the bridge. There staring even now... it gives me the creeps, almost as bad as that damn sun.

Slate 24th - Nothing is happening much, it's dig this, plant that... The carpenter with us has began to chop down some trees, brave man to leave the fortress like that. The bridge is done, hopefully the carp leave it alone.

Summer

Hematite 1st - Damn those carp! they got the butcher, Looks like we won't be having any fresh meat for a while... Right when we finished digging out the dining hall... He will never see it himself, at least... at least it is summer now.

We struck Bauxite! My mining knowledge knows this rock to be one of the few unmeltable stones out there! We may be able to make some sort of magma forge pumping system now... if we find any magma.

Hematite 26th - Things are Uneventful for the most part, The carp keep making swipes at my friend Tun... He may have to start chopping trees up the hills rather near the damn blue river!

Malachite 16th - RUBIES, we found some while mining out all the stone in the bauxite strip mining, To bad we do not have a jeweler at the moment.

Galena 6th - Things are going nicely... The carp are leaving us alone for now, and we got some stills up to replenish are alcohol... I was fearing we would run out of drink, I don't want to near the river as long as I can help it.

Galena 7th - More bauxite, We should not run out if we keep finding it like this. More of it was found while digging out a large storage area for food.

Autumn

Limestone 1st - Who knew all this work would be so boring? besides losing Mosus a while back... nothing has happened, the fish are watching but the mining is going fine. Soon we will have enough tables and chairs and will be able to eat off the floor, and the rooms are finished and large, just got to get the doors installed and the beds in them.

Limestone 11th - The carp are gathering! what are there plans? I must know!

Limestone 17th - The dwarves under me think they are funny, They got to the traders before me and based on are rough stone bridge, called the place "PuzzledBridges" What kind of name is that?!? it stuck though... so now I am the great leader of puzzledbridges, what a name I think. Anyhow, we were able to trade some of are fine tables and chairs in for blocks of stone and food we don't quite need, but we need more to come... and the best way to do that is to show are fine craftsdwarfship! Got a cat as well, so perhaps it will catch all these damn flies.

Sandstone 20th - Seems the mountainhomes sent us some fresh dwarves, perhaps they brought some damn games... the place is getting boring as hell. I'll put them to work soon enough, Also I got my self a very large room to sleep in now and work away my crafts I do. I may not be a solider yet, but when we have an army, I hope I can lead it... tell then I am starting to smooth the walls and floors to make this place look nice, and the bauxite is nearly mined out.

Winter

Moonstone 1st - Well, Winter is here... still nothing great. I know I could make this faster... perhaps I'm not cut out for this job?

Moonstone 15th - That's it, we need something that everyone will see... so I started a great construction of a tower up to the top of the sky and to as deep as we are daring... when this is done, perhaps this outpost will be known far and wide! We can host are barracks in here as well.

Opal 5th - Bauxite again, so I'm done trying to find the stuff when we find it everywhere, though I still have the stone masons using only small amounts of the stuff.
