3rd Granite - 811 - Update Seven
Nailadar succumbs to infection. His hand, severed weeks ago and left open to the elements, turned slimy and black. The veins on his left arm had turned a sickly color, and had started to bleed through the skin. He falls over dead while watching the goblins, but thankfully consumes no booze that week. The fort, especially those that knew him the longest, enters a saddened state.
Zrog (NPC) and Sgemat (NPC) escape with booze supplies, as someone was stupid enough to let a dying dwarf guard them.
Alexis Gray piles bones in neat stacks in her room, and declares it her Throne of Death. With the help of Right Carver she also trades several minor useless bones away for poisons or tools or something.
Right Carver spends his time productively- many wooden spears and spear shafts intended for perhaps metal heads are constructed, and several barrels and boxes are built as well for food storage. (Advanced carpentry skill, 20 Wooden Spears, 4 Wooden Barrels)
He also appoints himself the town broker and conducts trade with the wagon-train style Dwarf caravan, expertly swindling them.
Doctor McDoctorstein (NPC) spends her time carrying food from the entirely too vulnerable wagon outside the cave, to the main room, where it will be stored, surrounded by several SFTs.
Ed fells many mighty oaks in the western forests and sings songs with Gelion (NPC), and they bring in two dozen Oak logs. (25 oak logs)
Ed also stupidly tries to teach his wild snake to hunt, and meets wild success. His success is so brilliant he declares himself the Snake Whisperer. (Advanced Animal Training)
Northen Wolf (NPC) spends his entire time working Wolf Field all alone, with no help from anyone, not even his goblin workers. He gathers up almost all of the harvest and the bountiful seeds. (130 edible mushrooms, 11 mushroom seeds, Mushroom Farmer)
Urist McFlabbergast (NPC) spends his time carrying plenty of mushrooms and trying his hand at cooking a few over an open fire. (4 prepared mushrooms)
Doctor McDoctorstein (NPC) realizes that Alexis Gray is Preggers with Child. She spends her time alternatively taking care of Alexis and meeting her every whim (as she has never a pregnant woman before and is intrigued) and developing means by which she may exterminate the child before its birth.
Wilhelm (NPC) spends his time polishing his room and grooming his beard in an arrogant fashion, and actually doing something useful, carves another room intended for bedroom use.
KRAYNOR (NPC) practices axedwarfery and badassery in general, rocking the naked-save-for-pants look all the while, and picks his teeth with the bones of small animals.
Urist McHaulerr haul items around, particularly wood and mushrooms, and Noname watches from sling.
Rau tries his hand at making booze (and only drinking half of it) at the still, and makes wonderful mushroom-based boozes. (13 mushroom kalhua)
