Nikkel gets started on her own for now. She's sure the others will catch up, lazy, stupid bastards.

She cuts wood until noon. She now has logs she can use for lumber. How does she render the logs into planks? Geez, aren't you nit-picky. Let's just assume she can make basic wooden things and move on, shall we?

Now that the trees are removed, there's a small clear spot here as well. Convenient?

make a nice wood house for yourself, the others want houses then they ether need to make it themselves or beg.

Did this expedition include Tents?

If YES we can focus on building primitive-chairs, 'desks (more like logs with a plank over them) fire pits, and other things to make this more of a camp, and more of a place to do carpentry work (as I suspect we'll be doing much more)

If NO.. well shelter has to be our priority. Which means a WHOLE lot more logs need to be cut to make one with your trusty lucky JADE-AXE (Which isn't actually made of jade we just like to call it that to make it sound fancy. It's just painted that way). Alternatively we can just dig a deep hole and live in there. Which seems very gobliny I suppose.

Hopefully when the rest of those lazy bastards show up they can help you put something suitable together.

Uhh on a random note:How much FOOD do we have? Any at all?

By the time the sun goes down, Nikkel has crafted a pile of wood with a door on it. Not bad for one afternoon of heavy labor. It's almost absurd that one small humanoid with an axe could build a house in one day, but we're not going to worry about that.

>How much FOOD do we have?

Enough for three days. Er... Two days. Might have to do something about that sometime.

So, should Nikkel roam around in the dark, or make plans for tomorrow, or just do something else?

>>469252
how are you going to make babby with only you?

make plans for tomorrow, plans for FOOD

>>469253
The goblin way. Kidnap every thing and then systematically fuck all of the things until a biological match is found and babies happen.

Remove all clothing, go outside and look for victims prone to rape.

you got darkvision right? if so then stay out until you get tired. if not then go in and sleep.

>>469252
Well you're a carpenter right? What do you know about building traps? Even small basic ones should get us some snacks after all. Chop a few more logs, see about putting them together over night, and take a nap when suitable. We can find some nice spots to set them up in the morning we have food until then.

Please ignore suggestions to run outside and rape people at random. This is a bad idea. If we need more goblins I'm sure we'll get immigrants eventually.

The dark is dark, but Nikkel can still see enough to move around, especially in the moonlight. There's a body of water to the east, so there might be food in there. She didn't really check the area first, since she just started chopping at the forest at random.

She's also not really interested in getting knocked up immediately for no reason, even if someone was here to knock her up.

Yo.

Your house sucks.

How does that affect your self-esteem?

You've spent all day cutting wood and building an entire house by yourself. You need a good nights rest after that. Axework is exhausting.

Note how I said if there's a stream or river? Weirs don't work in lakes. There's no current. And for all I know that's a crater lake replenished by rainfall with no stream to feed it.

How about making a pit trap, using the leftover branches and such from your woodcutting? Dig a deep pit, whittle some pointy wooden spikes to stick in the bottom, and cover the top with branches covered with grass to disguise it, then go chase a deer or something into it. And if it doesn't work, you can always backfill it to make a couple of latrines.

Oh, and make a ladder first, so you can get out of the pit once you've dug it.

Nikkel builds some pit traps.

The first trap she built seems to have been successful in catching something, as it's contents are still rustling around down there.

The second trap she dug collapsed into a small cave and she had to spend most of the morning digging herself out. Fun.

So back to the task at hand, there's a potential food item in the bottom of this here pit.

Throw a small rock down the pit and see what happens.

Poke it with a stick!

Yeah, grabbing the axe first give a sense of security, knowing that whatever is in the hole can be smacked with a bladed weapon.
So now Nikkel can check the hole, secure in the knowledge that she can fight it off if it's something really mean, like a bear or a dire hampster. What could it be?

Nah, it's a fuckhuge ant. Holy shit that's a big ant. Why do ants even come that big? That's not even fair.

good thing shells are weak to smashing. AXE it a question!

That is an excellent question. However, more important is the fact that ants aren't exactly known for being solitary predators. It's probably more like... a few hundred stupidly huge ants.

I'm pretty sure discretion is the better part of valor here.

>>469439

>Can't it just walk up the wall?
We could analyze the load capacity of loosely packed dirt or the weight distribution of the ant's body mass, but even if it can't walk up walls, it still has horrible claw feet to climb up normally.

So, upon luring it out in a display of cunning, Nikkel cunningly hits the ant with her axe, cunningly, until the ant is splattered all over the place to show how cunning this whole thing was.

>Maybe it tastes like crab
The flesh looks a little slimy. It might need cooked first or something. How do you cook ants?

Uhh... burn wood till you get a bed of coals then throw the carcass on it then pick out whatever looks most edible.

>>469463
Boiling or roasting it should work, Assuming you can manage one of those.

You can remove excess goo, tenderize the meat and cut into strips, and then salt/smoke it in order to preserve it.

If you want to try something fancy, then sauteing the meat with some caramelized onions and adding them to a cream of mushroom soup would be good.

In any case don't eat the goo; it is kinda like the green stuff in a lobster's head.

yeah most shelled critters need cooking to be good.

A lighthouse might be a bit much. Just keeping a fire going most of the time should draw them in, via smoke.

You should focus on making yourself as comfortable as you feel you need. (Bedding of some sort?) And then finding a sustainable source of food. If we're lucky the other goblins coming will bring something like chickens or some other domestic animal.

Well, there is a lake here, so if she dug a trench here, there's a little opening near the shore, which she incidentally hit while digging a pit trap.

So the water might go right down into the burrow if the tunnels are positioned right. This is certainly a thing that is possible.

Cutoff Gob should get to finding some fruit so you lot can pull the seeds out and set up some mothafuckin' crops to make it rain like champagne with some crude goddamn alcohol.

As for you Miss Thang/Nikkel, get rockin' on some tools. Hammers, shovels, picks and axes should take priority. If not making them, get some stone and wood for them along with some kinda plant to crudely bind them together.

Ask the Ultimate Warrior what magic he uses to keep his legs from snapping like twigs, it could be useful for construction.

Deciding on how the workload is split up should be the first thing to worry about.

She used all the wood to build a shack and start a fire, and she hasn't gathered any stone.

While considering a stone floor, Nikkel realizes that stones aren't flat. They could still make a rough stone floor, but if they made the stones flat, they'd stack better, like... Bricks or something. Might have to work on that name.

Goblins can craft stone into brick, but will only get about half the amount of usable material as raw stone, with the upside of added strength and stability.

Right. Digging them out. Consider that the ants, however, have no way to get rid of rocks. Naturally, they would dig around them. Maybe they have a rock storage area, or some place where they moved the stones?

Cut stones from the ground into shovels and picks, instead of doing every damn thing by hand.
If we ever get a good tinker, we might be able to procure making a giant drill and mass produce rocks.

And don't forget to make all that surplus rocks into more efficient tools that make all the surplus rocks into cool shit that can make even more efficient tools for all the jobs. You honestly haven't thought of this shit already? Start making workshops!

How about wheelbarrows?

1) Domesticate ants
2) Get ants to dig for stone for you
3) When ants are no good for digging, eat them

Profit all around!

Floors are not the place to start here. We need a proper foundation. Dig a trench along where the wall will be, an arm's length deep, and begin building wall there. Pile dirt around the wall when it rises above the mouth of the trench. Then place wooden joists between the bricks and lay planks across them to make a wood floor. Keep piling the walls up with more stone until you run out or reach a level above head height, at which point the next floor or roof can begin.

Since we're short on appropriate stones, find big mountains and stuff, and cut bricks from them in the same way you cut bricks from found stone.

They can totally dig with tools.
There aren't any obvious mountains right near by, so... send somebody out to scout around or mine right here?

>Floors are not the place to start here.
Look, buddy. Nobody tells you how to do your job, so maybe you should just zip it and let the professionals do the building. Okay?

well then have a chisel and hammer? that would help with the stone carving. but yeah you need a dedicated source of stone, you can also start quarrying. and dig a huge pit. but for now a mountain may be faster.

Building a ramp/ladder/rampladder might be a good idea if there's something down there worth hauling back up.
Tani can't really tell, because of the cave down at the bottom that obscures whether there is something worth hauling back up.

turn on darkvision, explore cave

invade that hole.

>>469941

Hmm... peek inside, if it looks like a small enclave then have a look around. But if it seems deep dark, treacherous, twisty maze of passageways, all alike then maybe you should get your goblin friends to assist you in this endeavor.

Cave explorer is a multiplayer game. Go recruit players 2 and 3.

Explore cave. Bring Xomid, but only because he is likely to do the actual mining work around here.

The cave goes angles down slightly, then kind of does this. There could definitely be a mine set up here, if they built some scaffolds and ladders and such to get down to things and then get back.

How long it would take depends on how many goblins were working on it.

Take a good look down deep, any visible metals or ore that could potentially be mined?

Have our smart tinker-inverter gobo and our strong gobo collaborate to build the ladder and bridges and stuff using our reserves of wood. Have the remaining gobo keep gathering food.

once you build the shacks. because priorities.

Shelter first, then stone.

So, the mine project is held off until this impressive bit of architecture rises up out of the remains of the little wood shack? Some of the wood was recoverable and now there is a mighty stockpile of wood.

Stone is being used up as fast as it's mined and the food is holding steady, so far.

Keep going as is, rearrange job duties, or something else?

Well if we're not really using wood, have Tami do some stone quarrying.

Assign Fatty McFats to fishing. If he wants to maintain that belly he can work for it. Grubby can use his wheeled device to gather food. That'll free up Nikkel for building/clever shit. A pen for when we find vaguely domesticatable animals and some outbuildings?

Nikkel puts the newcomers on food duty and goes to check the cave. She gets a path cleared and builds a totally sturdy wooden bridge over the water pit, allowing for deeper exploration. The cave continues on, dropping down farther then can be seen.

Weave a rope, yo.

Lay a long plank or board across the gap, then from that side, make a big long ladder and lower it down. You can't build a ladder from this side because the hole is slanted so it would tip, but from the other side should work just fine.

>>470188
We may not have anyone who knows how to do that, but even if we do, a wooden solution will be safer and we already have plenty wood.

Nikkel keeps working on setting up a walkway through the cave and gets down to get a better look at the tunnel. This is awfully steep, but there's plenty of stone and things down here. That's good, because Xomid and Tani have almost exhausted the stone back at the camp.

>>470208
Is that some COPPER ORE I see there?

>>470208
Ooooh. Copper!

Get down one level further if you have something to get your way back up, and scope just a bit further in. Anything of interesting you can see?

Well, let them rest a day. Or put them on an easier work detail of some kind.

I see what potentially could be copper below the ledge! That's good development.

but we need an anvil before we can do much with it other then making incredibly sturdy bricks.

The metal vein is hanging up on the ceiling of the cave, so she'll have to build something to get over there, then tell someone else to dig it out and carry it back. What a hassle.

S-stupid copper. It's not like she likes you or anything. You're way too soft. Why can't you be strong and manly, like tungsten?

If we had some tin we could make some manly copper, but it'll have to do for now.

come at it from behind and above with the shovel, just dig it loose and have it fall down.

>>470241
The moon exerts gravity on the earth. Perhaps by mooning it you may achieve a similar effect?

Also we should look for the ants. Copper can wait.

>>470247
Down the hole. The we-have-no-idea-how-deep hole.

Copper cannot wait if we want proper tools. Think of it this way: better weapons means taking the ants down easier, means safer and more efficient foodstuffs. We have the wood surplus, let's set up a platform to get to that copper.

Take a long wooden shaft, a whole tree trunk is probably ideal. Sharpen then end, and hold it from the other end, catching the sharp end on something on the far end. Give the end on your side a few whacks with a mallet. That should enable you to get over there, but to make a solid floor do another one parallel and fix planks across the two of them.

The construction in the mine continues and the ore can be mined out. Now they can make all those picks and shovels and axes and things they already have with them.
They don't have the facilities to smelt any of this either.
And there's not really that much here.
But trying to get it has caused the mine to get built up, so I guess that's helpful.
The copper vein would be depleted with one more day of mining.

Also, the stone at the camp is completely gone now. Just big holes in the ground.

Build furnace. Make weapons.

stone around the copper too, mine them as well. also copper can make weapons, no more sharing axe to fight ants, people can get some real swords and spears and stuff.

>>470306

Copper is very malleable/weak. It will not make for very good tools or weapons. Save it for later for when you have something to smelt it with. For now, use your current pick to gather more stone from the mine.

Nikkel is out of work. Better give her a job or she'll laze around and be a bitch and/or have other goblins do something else. You can do that, you know. No pressure either way.

Make her ride piggyback on Fatty.

Failing that, make more bricks.

houses for everyone!

have Grubby scout out the surroundings.

carve up some molds to use for things and make spear heads.

Dig a moat and build a palisade. You can never be too safe. Was the copper native or an ore? In the latter case, may as well work the impurities out now. It may be worth making some spearheads to equip with, but anything larger would be insufficiently durable until we can get some tin to make bronze. Xomid can do the metalworking since the vein is depleted for now, and Nikkel can do the fortification since she has experience with construction.

Okay, take someone off stone and start them on hunting for food some more.

Then you start just placing more ladders down into that shaft.

Get to setting up a platform to the ridge above the water; there's metals to be had!

>>470445

Gather gold and craft Grubby Dildoth and Fatty Fat Fat Fat mobster and gangster bling respectively.

Dig a dry shaft parallel to this wet hole, then open up a big cistern lower than the current level of water in the place with the valuable metals. If you strike valuable metals in the cistern, mine them out. Then dig from the cistern to the shaft, so all the water flows out.

That's a net change of -5, with two goblins gathering it.

The math works like this:
-5 to +4 means one gobbo gathers 9 food.
Three gobbos gathering food means 27 is gathered.
Net +4 means 23 was eaten.

Oh look, new goblins are showing up.

Good to see Yog isn't a freakish mutant.

Let's see... put half of them on food gathering. Another person should start gathering stone and ore further down underground, with an emphasis on forming exploratory shafts.

The second person should make sure we have all the furnishings in the house. If all the furnishings are dealt with they should get to work on bricks.

Nikkel, start exploring on the surface again, this time in the other direction. Fill up a second page of map. Maybe a third if there's time for it. If there's even more time, explore some more past the original cave entrance and get to building a bridge over the natural skylight we have going in it.

>>470550

Have Yog start making potions.

drek helps mine
yog goes for food
zox and kankoff help build a new home since their are more now.

Uh guys keep in mind we should in theory be using up 39-45 food now with 9 gobbos around (two or three of them being big eaters), so we need to put two more gobbos on food duty to make sure we don't starve.

Put one on food gathering, two on construction, and one on smelting. Have the construction people build a second room onto the keep to hold our increased population. A palisade can come after that's complete, which likely won't be for a bit.

>>470559
One food is one days worth of rations for one gobbo. Stop using numbers.

After a solid week of doing stuff, the little stone goblin hut is a mighty stone goblin structure of appreciable size. They even got that fancy palisade wall started what somebody was going on about. The building required expansion of the mine and that required more wood and that cleared more space to build, so the whole operation is spreading like a creeping blight on the land.

Good job!

perfect that is exactly what we were going for, make sure to plant more trees in places that are worthless so you always have more wood.

gather herbs and shit for making alchemy stuff. and get to mining iron.

>>470609
Oh. In that case there was just some confusion in the reports, and the -5 wasn't a net loss, it was just how much was being eaten...? The numbers are a bit weird but I'll just assume some mechanics changed behind the scenes or there was a math error of some sort, which happens a lot with resource management in quests. Speaking of math errors, these numbers are for only one day's worth of food gathering/eating! It should be +84 -63, and we'd have 35 food stockpiled. It looks like food gathering brings in 3 food per worker now. So we actually only need 1/3rd of our workforce gathering food in order to break even. That's easier to handle.

Take Xomid off food gathering and have him start mining out all the ore we found.

Nikkel: maybe you should faff about and do nothing productive. Err I mean, explore... the wilderness. Yeah.

I guess it's back to typical stuff, unless there's something specific that should be done.
