The elf of the group came around to the idea of cooperating as the day for the dwarves moving to the inn arrived. I suppose the idea of staying down in the holding cell alone was enough of an incentive. The human, however, still shows no signs of friendly behaviors. As for how the elf can help, they're knowl...
2023-10-04 16:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostZaka did not give approval immediately, for the same reasons I was concerned with. He considers the island his, so having such a large external group moving in concerns him. He said he'd want to have at least 500 individuals on our side before he'd be willing to accept that deal. When I told Shasta about tha...
2023-10-02 16:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostUnfortunately, the prisoners weren't willing to talk with us for this entire week. Given we haven't had any further issues externally, we're going to start sending guarded groups to gather sea food again. The first and largest guardhouse is coming along well, although I don't know that our prisoners will particula...
2023-10-02 16:58:00 +0000 UTC View PostMy turn for a question, "What's your name?"
They speak their name, "Shastasha Korsask."
The pronunciation was quite difficult for me to grasp, given it's quite different from both Demon and English.
The dwarf follows up with, "And your name?"
"Gokura Zakarus is my full name. I go by Zack." ...
2023-09-29 16:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostAfter having the realization about the name Gokura, I realized why Zeb made that worried look while translating. Before we continue diving into this issue, I think I need to talk to Zaka again, and try to get a better understanding of exactly what might have happened. Rather than try to dive more into this, I chan...
2023-09-29 16:58:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe trip back to the village took four days. After we arrived, I had a brief meeting with Zeb and Zaka discussing what we found. After some discussion about what to do, a general plan began to form. Currently, there doesn't appear to be any large presence left on the island, other than the individuals we hav...
2023-09-27 16:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostOvernight, a disturbance was reported. The missing fifth member of the group that we were looking for apparently was spotted on the village wall at one point. They shouted something to the group in the jail cell, and the group yelled something back. After which the person wasn't spotted again.
In the m...
2023-09-27 16:58:01 +0000 UTC View PostI want to place a total of twenty ballistae on the walls around the village. For each, I'll need around 400 cubic feet of stone to improve the wall near it. Initially I thought I'd just make the expanded wall section solid, but after thinking about it for a bit, I think making the semi-circular expansion both larg...
2023-09-25 16:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt's been another 10 days, I've learned more basic phrases in the demon language, and the sewer is at least partially complete now. We cut a smaller channel to the eventual exit point so there would be an outflow point. The reason being that the rains are starting up, and spring has arrived. Work will still ...
2023-09-25 16:58:00 +0000 UTC View PostTen days of work, and I've gotten the final guardhouse complete, and the public bathrooms are done and functional. I've started work on the first of the high density housing buildings. It's basically a two story building with a central hallway connecting four units on each floor. It takes the space of about ...
2023-09-22 16:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostWe've been doing repairs for another two weeks within the village itself. I would say that the roads are fully repaired, but as we've been adding basements, a small problem has arisen as a result of the retrofitting. The issue is that all the basements sit too low to have drainage like before, and I don't really w...

2023-09-20 16:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostAs I sprinted towards the watchtower, I counted myself quite lucky that I was heard by Zeb. Moving forward, I think I should probably actually dedicate myself to at least learning some of the demon language, even if it's only the basics. From behind, I could hear fireballs bursting against the eagle.

2023-09-18 16:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostProgress has been somewhat slow going on the sea life filter for the past eight days. I've added about six inches to the barrier in that time. The whole thing is honestly producing way more food than I expected, and a lot of the hunting goblins haven't been hunting as actively anymore since there is now an easier ...

2023-09-11 16:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt's been over a week since I performed the test using Zaka's blood. With it's success, I've started construction of two steam cannons in the village. The first steam cannon will work just like the first one on the mountain. The second cannon is being designed to use a mix of water and Zaka's blood to power ...

2023-09-08 16:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostA few days after the goblins set out to found the second village, Zeb finally started to show some activity.

He still seemed a little ...

2023-09-06 16:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning, Zaka made his announcement, which caused quite the shock in the village. There was a lot of hushed whispering, and even some outright yelling, but by the end of it, even the rowdy goblins had quieted down. He gave them a week to decide if they wanted to stay or go. At that point, they would...

2023-09-04 16:59:02 +0000 UTC View PostI watch as Zeb fights Kurg as I regain my senses slowly. While we were flying backwards, it looks like Zeb managed to stab through one of Kurg's legs with an earth spike. Kurg winds up a throw with a rock that Zeb barely manages to dodge. Just as it's looking grim, from underneath me, Zaka manages to get a f...
