Hey! Are you serious over the sealing the city? There are tremendous amounts of resources outside.
I want to slightly adjust my vote – I do not want to seal the city but rather wait till the end of weregecko attack.
And even if elves arrive and whoever else we can just sacrifice another Baud. Sounds great, yeah?

Regarding the were-beast -- no reason to pull the lever, werebeast's rampages are swift, they turn back quite quickly (couple of ingame days). Several dwarves that are outside will occupy the werebeast long enough for it to transform and flee. Do not forget to quarantine the attack survivors though. Also the newly acquired paranoid trap specialist should create an early stage defense system to protect the Kastle form future werelizards ambushes.
Regarding elves -- one partially robbed caravan is rarely enough to start a war.

see, nothing to worry about. elfs were reasonable, they understood it was just the cost of bringing their business to the wrong neighborhood.

I mean, we can always reopen the gate, right? My vote is for closing the fortress *for the time being*
Close the gate. No loss there.

Option 1: Pulling the lever and sealing everyone inside so people start going crazy and paranoid, the natural social order devolving into complete chaos seems exactly what my character would enjoy so that takes my vote. Besides even if the prolebashers were mobilised we would still be far too late to help anyone, so all we can do now is ensure the safety of our glorious leader.

Nah he'll practice on you.

Considering that I am apparently a great nurse, which translates to being able to knit dirty socks from cobwebs, I think your job is now up for grabs. Did I hear you volunteering as a miner?
I for one am looking forward to working
Sigh, at least that would be the case if the KKKommisar was pulling all strings by himself. In this clown-run circus you will probably stay where you are, while I get assigned to be an assistant mudcrab wrangler. Sad.
But I pray to the Spirit of KKKommunism to slap some sense into people.
Surviving an encounter with monsters should be a rite of passage for all wannabe Kommunists. I'll add to my vote that we put all the new guys outside.
Meanwhile on the Surface.
Yes, DF has lesbians too
In the combat log below, Baud is referred to as "militia captain" and Unib as "recruit"
Meanwhile in the Outpost
Every dwarf is fucked up in the head. We were born like that. Even if you assign a top priority task, sometimes dwarves will simply stand in front of the lever and scratch ass, contemplating the purpose of life.

Yes, I made a call to replace Reinhardt with Bliblablubb temporarily. Baud is balancing on the death's door, we have no time to fuck around.
Azira can't pull this on his own. No doctor can, no matter how skilled he is.
Baud is beyond fucked up.

MAKE YOUR KEY CHOICE
Summer is upon us, NO THANKS TO YOU!
Life in Redlabored will go as per usual, except THE GATES ARE CLOSED until further notice! No more sneaky attacks on my fortress until the GODDAMN KOMMANDER finally makes something resembling a military force!
I want to make it clear: each and every one of you FAILED! The cost of your failure is one dead dwarf, and another one suffering fate worse than death. TWO POTENTIALLY COMPETENT LABORERS GONE! Because of YOU!
The least you can do now is to FIX THE GODDAMN SITUATION at least to SOME extent!
But before we proceed with politics, gotta address the mutilated elephant in the room
Current agenda: Baud's fate
In case he doesn't wake up in two weeks and therefore won't be able to decide for himself, we must do what is necessary. But what exactly?
Option 1: wall him inside the hospital.
No way in and no way out. He will turn into a werebeast on the 19th of Hematite. Werebeasts do not require food and
There is a downside, though. In case he is not infected, which is still possible, we condemn him to die of thirst and starvation, even if he pulls through the injuries.
Option 2: fight for his life till the bitter end.
Fetch him food and water. Tend to his wounds. Hope for the best. If he turns, Kalin and the Prolebashers will put him out of his misery. It is better this way.
Option 3: execution.
Kill Baud for no real reason. Because we are that fucking special down here.
Everyone has a vote. If Baud wakes up, the result of this poll is void - he will instead decide his own fate.
POLITICS
I hate you all so much.
Kalin
1. Pick up to 9 dwarves (10 including yourself) to serve in the Prolebashers. DAS RITE, full squad!
Remember, you can replace any recruits at will. Here is the current roster (doesn't include children):
Administrators cannot be conscripted.
If you decide to play it SMURT all of a sudden, feel free to request additional information on any specific dwarf. Most of the unassigned ones weren't introduced, but maybe there is a decent fighter among them.
If you conscript unassigned dwarves (dwarves without a nickname), you must also pick their weapon of choice.
2. You can set a new training schedule. Otherwise I will leave it at "5/10 dwarves must train in the barracks at any given time; they can only sleep in barracks; they may sleep whenever they want."
Btw, your squad is still incompetent, but everyone is feeling fine except Merc. According to Azira's health reports, Merc is constantly tired. Which means that most of your recruits barely break a sweat during training.
GIVE ME FUCKING DEATH DRILLS, DAMN YOU
Helly
Your management is like a goblin's arse. Short, stinking, and the only outcome is shit. My Quarters are still under constructions. The Food District - most demanded industry - is not even half-done. Kommunalka? Not even started.
But you've dug out Wood District, THE ONLY ONE WE DON'T NEED! Because there is no wood in Redlabored, no more surface-dwelling!
Do you know what your problem is? Trying to do everything at once, but lacking the dwarfpower to do it. What Redlabored REALLY needs is grunts. Dwarves with no specialization. Ones who will haul shit and construct shit. THAT's what we need!
This time we'll try a different approach. I will list activities, and you will choose the ones we should work on. The fewer activities you choose - the more grunts you'll get, increasing the progress of Redlabored in selected activities.
1. Masonry. Stone blocks and stone furniture - quite essential. Requires 4 dwarves.
2. Food and Booze. We still have a whole lot of brewable/cookable shit lying around. Requires 2 dwarves.
3. Carpentry and woodcrafts. Again, there is plenty of wood stocked inside Redlabored. Enough to keep woodworkers busy throughout the Summer. Requires 2 dwarves.
4. Farming. Yes, we still have unplanted seeds. Requires 2 dwarves (planting needs to be done fast, before the Seasonal window runs out).
Now, since you decided to DIG OUT WOOD DISTRICT for some reason, we might as well use it to set up temporary workshops. If we need to, that is.
5. Metalworks. Tools, weapons, armor. Requires 2 dwarves (one to smelt ore into metal bars, one to strike the forge).
6. Textiles. We have plenty of pig tails and some hairs, so we can make thread and cloth. Requires 2 dwarves.
7. Clothing. No use without textiles. New clothing out of thread, cloth, leather. Requires 2 dwarves.
8. Bowery. Glorious wooden crossbows. Requires 1 dwarf.
9. Gems. Unlike metal ores, we mined quite a number of uncut gems. Requires 2 dwarves.
That's it for activities. You may also choose our mining direction:
1. Dig out Redlabored, because you've done a SHITTY job making chosen facilities.
2. Fuck Redlabored and fuck the Kommissar - we must dig deeper, to the mines. Because Andnjord.
Option 1 is safer. The dwarves are slowly going mental due to stress. We need beds, private rooms, dining hall and recreation, functional industries.
Option 2 is more aggressive. The sooner we obtain decent equipment - the sooner we may open the gates, relying on the Prolebashers. However, digging too deep might lead to very tragic consequences.
Azira
You are free to change your assistant. Again, Kommanding Physician can't do a lot without a proper hospital.
Keep in mind that you have total control over your personal assistant. Your orders overrule Helly's. So MAYBE instead of constant ranting on lack of medical supplies, you should make your assistant craft them?
a bear named spigot
You're fired.
Except you were elected as the broker until the end of this year. OH, WELL.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THE TAMARIN?! Let him out of the cage? Wait until you get a private room and put the cage there? Something else?
sqeecoo
Sqeecoo is now playing Dominions. She doesn't need no KEY CHOICES, she is the one creating them. That said, feel free to post whatever crazy ideas are bouncing in your Machiavellian mind. Maybe we lack FLOODGATES this time?
That's it for Spring, at long last. I'll give it a couple days for the administrators to cast votes.
Meanwhile, I'll do another aftermath-style update. No RP, just hard numbers, maps, layouts, random comments and notes that didn't make it in the updates. And also more stuff regarding the weregecko battle and Baud-Unib's sacrifice.
We were unbelievably lucky. If it wasn't for Baud, this would have been the last update.

Hell of an update bröther. Had the music playing throughout and it was a blast reading it. God bless DF combat engine for creating that stuff.
And my vote goes to Option 1. Seal him up until the 19th and see if he's infected or not. If he turns into a weregecko then we can say we have a pet monster for our future zoo, if he doesn't we can always open the wall back up to finish treating him. In any case the dorf deserves a statue in the future grand hall.
And Helly , if you get us started on the metalworking I'd be able to forge us picks for the miners and other moderately useful things like weapons for the prolebashas. They'd be made of copper sure, but it beats having a wooden axe or no picks at all. Also we could get grates and chains (water cistern) weapons for Suckavati's traps, coins for Kalin's bonaz... Just sayin'.
PS: Grimwulf , would it be too much to ask for a table of content at the start of the thread?

Baud's fate
Option 4: Exile him as soon as we're able, but treat him well until then (Option 2 if we can't exile him). If he survives, he should be given a chance, if only because he saved our fortress. But we can't take this chance ourselves. This is the more humane solution.
Activities
Let's make it simple: How is our stockpile of food doing? If it's adequate for the year, then we'll focus on Masonry and Carpentry for now.
1. Masonry. Stone blocks and stone furniture - quite essential. Requires 4 dwarves.
3. Carpentry and woodcrafts. Again, there is plenty of wood stocked inside Redlabored. Enough to keep woodworkers busy throughout the Summer. Requires 2 dwarves.
8. Bowery. Glorious wooden crossbows. Requires 1 dwarf.
9. Gems. Unlike metal ores, we mined quite a number of uncut gems. Requires 2 dwarves. (We'll use them to trade for clothes and stuff)
If not, then we'll focus on farming and masonry. Food making will wait until we need it, but we can develop our textile industry to go with the farming then.
4. Farming. Yes, we still have unplanted seeds. Requires 2 dwarves (planting needs to be done fast, before the Seasonal window runs out).
1. Masonry. Stone blocks and stone furniture - quite essential. Requires 4 dwarves.
6. Textiles. We have plenty of pig tails and some hairs, so we can make thread and cloth. Requires 2 dwarves.
7. Clothing. No use without textiles. New clothing out of thread, cloth, leather. Requires 2 dwarves.
Metalworks will wait until we actually have any kind of metal. About that... - Wait, do we enough metal to do anything actually?
Mining direction
Redlabored is the main priority. For now.
Is it however possible to go for some exploratory excavation 2, 3 levels below? Just to check whether we can quickly find a cave or metal? And if we find anything, we'll report to the commissar and ask for a risk assessment.

Yes, I thought of that the other day. This thread is hard to navigate even for me when I need to remember some stuff from previous updates. Didn't expect so many comments.
Table of contents coming up tomorrow, along with a mini-update and Grimwulf's drunk rant.
Yes, about that.
EXILE IS NOT AN OPTION
At least it's not our decision to make. Baud is in coma - we can't EXILE an UNCONCIOUS dwarf. If he comes back to his senses, it will be his call. We will grant him that much.
Edit: hurr durr, I'll post sober replies to your other questions tomorrow. Grimwulf is a doge atm

Fellow dorfs! I am astounded by the great deed of Baud and Unib! They risked their lives to save all of us.
But tell me fellow comrades, how come our hero Baud cannot even get deserved treatment? Why does he have to stay in the dirty hospital, without any bandages and fine treatment?
The corruption! The corruption has taken over some of us. And it should be swiftly dealt with unless we want to perish soon. And let me tell you – who is to blame?
Spigot! He is the one corrupted. It is his fault we have to stay sealed. It is his fault the fortress is not supplied!
We should cast off Spigot to caverns!

I seem to remember we had some tetrahedryte (or however you spell that), copper+silver ore lying around, but will need confirmation from the Wolf of the Grim.
A Dorf Fortress isn't dorfen until its hallways are filled by the smoke and ashes of its metalworking industry.
