Ozymandias:
You can build stairs upward, you have to actually construct the stairs first, though, ('b' 'C' 'u'), then go up a level and designate your downward stairs on top of them.

I think.

KharBevNor:
I played on a bit longer. Here are some fun facts (consider them gifts from Armok)

There's native gold just a little east of the industrial area, in fact there's some where I've designated those two undiggable rooms.
There's a huge fucking cavern about five z-levels below the fort. Don't try digging down anywhere north of the staiirwell either.
Shitloads of migrants incoming.

Whether goblins and stuff like that attack you is a combined function of your population and the wealth of your fortress. Since we just hit gold and got about eight more dwarves, I think fun should be starting fairly soon.

Oh yeah, also, you might want to try and rationalise the job settings a bit. In the flood panic I ended up basically just giving loads of dwarves masonry, mining and carpentry depending on what I needed to do at the time.

Its been a year since I joined this expedition to the middle of nowhere, following on the heels of an insane man's dream. Don't get me wrong, KharBevNor is a good dwarf, lord knows that his strength and skill with a pick is well known, but this isn't the first time that his religious fanaticism has gotten him in trouble. In fact that's partly why the council let him go off on this mad quest of his, I think they were actually a little relieved.

It was my professional respect for him that made my fool head follow along on this journey, knowing that wherever he goes, I believed the good earth would provide for us with rich ore for me to craft into fine things. I suppose that it was my naivety that kept me from understanding that he was perfectly serious about all that bull-crap of the world ending, and, being the only dwarfess to make the trip, what started of as being awkward became downright dangerous until other migrants began showing up. Thank Usen Fortressrock that scar of Stockades that there are other women here now! I don't know what exactly he was thinking one dwarfess could do with six men... Usen I need a drink.

Anyway, since the date has come and gone that Armok would “rain down from the skies with the fury of a thousand rain-cursed buzzards” Lashedgills has locked himself in his quarters, after the flooding incident I don't think he was prepared for such a shock. On top of that, apparently he had been harboring some feelings for me that he confessed in a drunken stupor when I tried to confront him about carrying on with establishing our home here. I let him down easy as possible, it really hasn't been his week!

Anyway while he's gone off sulking its left to me to run this junk heap now, Gorgeconfined has had a decent start but I feel that it will be impossible for us to continue without setting up some decent trade. To do that I'll need to widen the corridors to the surface and being construction on more competent above-ground fortifications, with a possible courtyard and statue garden so nobody becomes even more afraid of the outside world than they are already, tales of the sky falling on our heads, honestly.... I'm keeping Jeans on as our broker, the lad is a bit simple but he seems fond of numbers almost as much as killing cats and crossbow bolts Usen bless him, and he will be critical in dealings with the outside world, as long as we don't let him alone near the trade caravan's pack animals.

1st Granite 1052:

Construction on the new entrance to the fort moves along slowly, but surely, I've set the miners to the task of building a much larger surrounding wall atop which heavier fortifications will be built. Around that I plan on building a moat over which a drawbridge will be constructed. This does not clash with the current plans for making the inner fort secure, which I found scrawled on the back of a napkin at the base of the door of KharBevNor's quarters, his magma pit with spikes is a good plan, but I intend on establishing a first line of defense that will allow a little fresh air every now and then. I've also ordered the outside trade depot to be torn down, and an area previously used for stone storage will become our depot, inside, where our goods and the traders will be safe, and under our watchful eye...

16th Granite 1052:

It seems we've run into a rather stinky problem. Lor's poor corpse has created a miasma straight through from her watery grave at the bottom of the stairwell straight up to the workshop level. Unfortunately no one can go down to retrieve her bloated corpse, or no one wants to...

Oh my, it seems to be spreading.

...Dear God.

OOC: Ok, not a whole lot of time to play tonight, I'm still really unfamiliar with a lot of the game's concepts and I don't even really seem to grasp the concept of stairs, I think I've trapped everyone below-ground in an attempt to make a wider staircase underground.

Buttfranklin:
hahaha awesome I have an office!

I chuckled heartily, Khar, and I'm looking forward to more updates from you, boro!  This is fun!  just wish I had the time to spare to contribute something to it myself than just reap the laughs

Johnny C:
it took exactly one turn for the fortress to fill with a godawful miasma
