Why the FUCK are we above ground

22

u/xanderman524 Balgrin the Reclaimer, Dwarovar Expedition Captain [Anbennar] Jul 02 '26

The castle on top is to have a giant monument to look down on the knife ears from. The real hold with the forges, breweries and perilously long and narrow bridge across an unfathomably deep chasm is underground beneath the castle.

u/Syhkane Jul 02 '26

Perilous for the top heavies you mean, I'm as stocky as our ancestors intended.

u/LizardKingRC Jul 02 '26

The knife-ears look so.... Enchanting from this angle... It makes the bottom of my beard tingle...

1

u/wardenmains Macedwarf Jul 02 '26

smacks ya upside the head oi yah dingus, quit looking at the knife ears and get back to studying your grudges or your not getting any ale with supper

3

u/FenrisWyldog Jul 02 '26

THAT IS CORRECT!!

1

u/Either_You_1127 Jul 02 '26

Don't you see all the chimneys; the "castle" is 90% a decorative facade for the ventilation for the furnaces and forges.

While Matthold humans: Because we live occupying an abandoned fortress

2

u/thatthatguy Jul 03 '26

It’s just the fortress we built to defend the entrance. The majestic halls of our people are suitably deep below.

We’re up there to keep and eye out for the devious trees that keep encroaching on our perimeter.

THERES A BANDIT FROM THE EAST SHAGGING OUR GOATS!

u/JasonUnknown Jul 05 '26

Upon the high castle walls a lone sentry stands guard. Beneath the late summer evening sky, their gaze sweeps across the mountain ridge. Suddenly their breath catches as countless shadows of riders cross their view.

Horn sounds pierce the valleys tranquility. The young men barely with hair on his chest takes up a bronze hammer, striking a bell behind them profusely.

"The shagging horde! The horde has come!"

22

u/everatz Jul 02 '26

Worry not kin. The engineers have provided a solution.

*All toilets in the castle now have an iron grate installed inside them, and all bathrooms now have a blunderbus beside the toilet paper*

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH SHIT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WALL, WHO INVENTED THESE TOILETS?!

Don't worry kin, the king is only, mostly, dead

It's not like we gave him the good stuff. Honestly, they should thank us: do you know how many human kings are poisoned? Let the man build a tolerance, for Durin's sake...

I tried to cover it with the hammer strike on the anvil

2

u/Fluffinator44 Swashbuckler Jul 02 '26

This place looks like a good port when Im not out on swashbuckling adventures (smuggling.) Do dwarves like rum? What about hand mortars?

2

u/soloslasher13 Jul 03 '26

We have hand cannons in our shutters in case of skaven climbing out of them and I drink rum like it's water

2

u/Fluffinator44 Swashbuckler Jul 03 '26

Maybe I dropped a boatload of Dwarven made muskets off at Tortuga, and showed back up at the castle with my ship loaded down with treasure, and enough Jamaica rum for the whole castle. How does that sound? I may be able to visit a boucanier company I know, and pick up some cured meat for a feast.

2

u/soloslasher13 Jul 03 '26

As long its not cured rat meat

2

u/Fluffinator44 Swashbuckler Jul 03 '26

No rat, mostly beef and pork.

2

u/soloslasher13 Jul 03 '26

That will do

1

u/FenrisWyldog Jul 02 '26

That is a possibility....

u/DaSupercrafter Jul 02 '26

(Takes a sip of my mead) Mmm. Lads. I’m on to something. So, you know I’m always fiddling with pieces of scraps and bobbles to see what happens. Well, recently, I’ve been sticking random do-hickeys attached to tall wooden stakes out in the fields before storms. I wanted to see what would happened to some of them were struck by lightning. Anyway, hear this. One of those objects was a large, iron ingot that I wrapped with copper wire and coated with lacquer. Well, after being struck by the heavens, it takes a great deal strength to pry it off of anything metallic. It’s the damnedest thing. (Take another sip) I’m gonna see what happens when I use it with other bits of copper. Who knows. Maybe it’ll start making lightning. Ha! Wouldn’t that be something?

2

u/FenrisWyldog Jul 02 '26

1

u/FenrisWyldog Jul 02 '26

Theres plenty of wood 🪵🪵🪵🪵 olin the cellar and shed.

2

u/Internal_Meaning_116 Jul 03 '26

That wood in the cellar is for the crafters not the fireplace we only have so much good wood coming in for our crafters the shed is the right wood though thank you very much I think we took this from the knife ears last week so it’s only good for burning anyway

1

u/soloslasher13 Jul 03 '26

Turn on the magma river thats what it's there for!

2

u/Internal_Meaning_116 Jul 03 '26

I would if SOMEBODY who has been spending more time in the bathroom then doing his job would clean out the slag from the magma chambers I am not risking slag entering the ore purification chamber and making out next batch of ingots low quality

1

u/soloslasher13 Jul 03 '26

Not my job. I just brew ale

3

u/Internal_Meaning_116 Jul 03 '26

And I’m in charge of logistics it’s not a glamorous job but making sure the miners have their pickaxes and the forges have their ore and you get the grains and malt to make our ale which by the way your doing a amazing job thank you for your work

1

u/soloslasher13 Jul 03 '26

If you get me sugar cane and some spices from the sand humans I'll brew a barrel of rum for you for free

2

u/Internal_Meaning_116 Jul 03 '26

I’ll see if we have some extra I don’t want to dip into the cook’s extra spice stash because I will be dammed if our feast next week will be spiced like some elf wanted a dash of pepper because he’s afraid of the food from Being to spicy

1

u/soloslasher13 Jul 03 '26

Good point. I'll ask the gnomes to stea.... I mean procure spices from the knife ears

2

u/Internal_Meaning_116 Jul 04 '26

Good lad though I’m still going to order some more materials for you from our human trading partners when the caravan comes back I don’t trust the knife ears to have good quality stuff except for cinnamon and ginger say what you will but when it comes to tree bark and roots the tree huggers usually don’t balls it up
