![]() His wounds developed an infection, but that didn’t stop him, and he needed a crutch. The chief doctor was doing medical testing on Lorbem the miner, and eventually after much surgery and setting of bones, the dwarf was released to bed rest. The hospital wing and initiation chambers This is good in some ways, but weapons and armor cannot be made from gold, so the dwarves were getting wealthy, but had little to defend themselves. Meanwhile the other miner continued mining and discovered that the mountain was riddled with gold veins, hallelujah! Unfortunately, there was no industrial metal found, so everything had to be made of gold. He was given a room in the half completed hospital wing, and provided with a bed for his first patient. Luckily a few migrants had recently showed up, and one of them who had no experience or aspirations other than to raise a family was summarily promoted to chief medical dwarf. His leg and arm were both broken and he was unconscious. (Don’t start at the bottom and work your way up, Lorbem! Start at the top and work down!) he was a pile of blood and bones in a deep well, and a wall of water was coming his way as the canals began to fill. Tragedy struck when Lorbam fell into the well he was digging. The canals outside the mountain home had been dug by this time but now began the more difficult task of digging the canals inside the mountain. The trade caravan left, and the dwarves settled in for a long but mild winter. We asked for wood, fruit, metal bars, and beer for next year. The fortress was humming along nicely that first summer, and when the trade liaison from the Pink Froth arrived, we had a few goods to trade (mostly mechanisms) for a few bushels of mushrooms. The masons began chiseling doors, tables, and chairs, while the cook planted farms, turned the buckets of brought milk into cheese, and began turning the brought fruit into wine coolers. While the miners began an extensive moat system fed by the brook, the wood cutters stockpiled a massive quantity of wood for future construction, and made a few beds too. The dwarves, made up of a pair of miners, two masons, two carpenters, and a cook, wasted no time setting up shop. The area they chose was perfectly situated along the forested slopes of a mountain range, with a wide valley at its feet cut by a fast flowing brook. In year 125, seven dwarves from a clan known as the Pink Froth decided they would bring civilization to the Mountains of Universal Truth, so they set out with a wagon, a cow, a mule, and a small flock of peacocks to build a fortress to stand the test of time. ![]() This is the story of Landseal, a Dwarf Fortress that overcame extreme conditions not only to survive, but to prevail.
