Great, I was hoping for something along those lines. I'll add your dwarf to the pool.

Throwing doesn't exist, it seems. I suppose the skill list is somewhat outdated. I'll give him misc. object user though, as it should double for it.

Edit. Speardwarf instead of Misc. Gotcha.

You misspelled Speardwarf so I fixed it for you.

It'd be nice if he could be a Hunter without an xbow, he could also protect fisherdwarves(if any) from ambushes.

Ingish Metalwaded, alias amatoer, always wanted to become carpenter. and woodcutter. "what if our skills can be put on a scale? I would say my woodcuttingskill is 7-ish and I'm totally a 7 at carpenting!" As a hobby and balance to his job, he is a novice beekeeper (6). Last but not least, he's a novice liar (6), but he doesnt know why (at least that's what he says).
He secretly hopes to become the hammerer of the new fort.

Added "amatoer" Metalwaded the Aspiring Hammerer to the list. Three dwarves to go!

Olin Alleylanterns ("Firebathero") likes being outdoors; he especially loves fishing [adequate fisherdwarf (7)], but is too often forced to stay indoors working on his real job---whacking rock things [competent mason (8)] and shiny things [novice gem cutter (6), dabbling gem setter (5)].

(I assume we get 26 skill points each? ;_; I've never actually chosen skill points on embark so correct me if I'm really stupid!)

Six skill increases per dwarf. I added two on masonry and fisherdwarf as well as one for the gem skills on "Firebathero".

Sign me up! I'm down to play (if the fort lasts long enough to get to my turn) and would like to be dorfed please. I'll take Bembul Avuzmesir if only for the hilarious "Does not trust others" + "Finds helping others rewarding" combination. 4 Grower, 1 Animal Training, and 1 Brewer would be good for my six skills. And for profession: Shroomsmith, please.

Udib Boardmarched

Since he likes to be alone, Mining(9) is one of his favourite things to do. Because of the sporadic collapsing mine, he has learned how to fix at least small wounds ( Diagnostician(6), Suturer(6) )

Edit: I appearantly overread the part where it says that he prefers to work outside. Let's just say he likes to dig holes. Which would be a nice constraint when I think of it. No hiding in the mountain etc., the entire fortress carved out of the stone, in the middle of a gigantic hole. Hm...

I'm thinking something like this (with connection to the ground level of course):

What do you guys think?

Edit2: Nevermind that, I just noticed that's a standard phrase. :\

Seems I was able to squeeze in an anvil after all, so that should be all good. Aside from that, our dwarves haven't got much supplies, but we should be set for the first few months.

You have arrived. After a journey from the Mountainhomes into the forbidding wilderness beyond, your harsh trek has finally ended. Your party of seven - "Dice" Craftrythm, "Firebathero" Alleylanterns, "Hoosegow" Mineshowered, "coma" Boardmarched, "Blazinghand" Rimclenches, "amatoer" Metalwaded and "Zul'jin" Testedwheeled - is to make an outpost for the glory of all of Udardastot.

There are almost no supplies left, but with stout labor comes sustenance. Wether by bolt, plow or hook, provide for your dwarves. You are expecting a supply caravan just before winter entombs you, but it is Spring now. Enough time to delve secure lodgings ere the dingoes get hungry. A new chapter of dwarven history begins here at this place, Muzishrakust - Martyrtomb.

Strike the earth!

If you've missed a spot in the player list, let amatoer know. He's the one keeping the thread updated, as far as I'm aware.

Anyhow, I'm uploading the pack now. amatoer is listed first, and he'll have 24 hours to respond to this thread. Once he's responded, he'll have two days from that post to complete his turn.

I'm using speedyshare, as suggested by Kurumi. The base pack with DwarfTherapist and the embark save can be found here:

I'd like to go within the first 5-6 years in the rotation if possible. You probably shouldn't put me in first though cause I'm bad. I definitely just lost to a Minotaur.
