Hah, while Hawk is stationed on loony patrol, I got to see some real action.
Killed a zombie hoary marmot in almost one blow. Honestly, they might as well send Hawk for refuse duty, 'cause with me around there's no fear of being overrun. Not just yet, anyway.

Pfft... war incarnate, indeed.
Back to duty.

No hard feelings, right Hawk? :P
EDIT: Couldn't let this go, won't do it again. >__>

Journal of Hawk, 2nd Felsite 57

My first day on duty and they put me to work watching over some nut-case jeweller with orders to lop off his head should he become a nuisance. Meanwhile the other new recruit, Melfice, has been given a proper job and is on real sentry duty by the entrance.

I know he's laughing at me behind my back...

Well next time we have a sparring match he's gona get his arse kicked!

19th Felsite

Great, today Melfice got to show off and be the big hero defending the Fortress from Zombies. I'm positive he's making half of it up though, I have yet to see proof of this "8'ft tall, 2 headed, 4 armed, flying Zombie Marmot", that he supposedly killed. I think maybe he's had a little too much booze, if that's even possible.

Still gona kick his arse.

--------------------------

Hehe, no worries Mel, s'all good.

Actually, workshops produce NO noise at all.

That's right, workshops don't make noise - but jobs performed there do, that's what I should have said.

Also, you actually killed two zarmots. You got the second one because Thadius was running around outside like a loon and was being harassed by it. Unfortunately I was off antagonizing the miners and masons elsewhere when this happened or I would have gotten a proper screen-shot.

Basically, right now, you can construct a mason's workshop in the middle of the dormitories and it wouldn't make a lick of difference. Probably gonna change in the future, but right now, it's no problem at all.

I'm cool with filling in as the wolf-trainer. Hopefully I don't end up dog food right away.

Ooh! I could be a Miner! :D

Melfice · 12-15-2009, 11:30 AM

Actually, Pinky, you're already in and you're a... gem cutter! Although, at the moment Thad stopped, you were mostly doing item and refuse hauling.

Sir Pinkleton · 12-15-2009, 12:51 PM

Oh snap, I guess I passed over that. Looking back, it looks like I'm the only one, too.

Cutting rocks, for the glory of the Dwarf empire! Who wants a poodle? I can make hats and swords, too.

Actually, you're set to get your head lopped off if you don't get some gems and produce an artifact soon. :P
