Wait wait wait, what? Gotta pull them out then.
And the Tongs of Appearing have been put out of duty.
Also, we have 169 tetrahedrites. We either mine or import now.
17 Slate, 504
We have had 3 mining trips, with the first one getting us gold, with the second one giving way to almandines. The third one was just me trying to tap a vein of gems (almandines).
19 Slate, 504
Almandines are sapped out of the vein. 15 gold crowns and 5 microcline gems have been ordered. Also, the usual poetry diversion.
22 Slate, 504
Sparring seems nice. Don't know if we'll be able to apply lethal force at any time. Zom isn't in the caverns.
Um, he is here now. How is he? Let's see
Still with those wounds, eh? Good thing you're made from brown zircon.
FOR US!MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!Sorry about that. Also this
C'mon herbalists! Time to pick dem plants! Get to it! NOW!
25 Slate, 504
Hope she, Inod, and Zon are doing fine there, with all those damn logs.

Both gem cutters in this fort are hauling their crap all the time, so one is exempted from these duties to cut the damn microcline.
And that guy's the most negligent gem cutter ever. So Monom will hopefully help (she has some skill regarding this). For that, I have set us off-duty.
5 Felsite, 504
Monom has done nothing. Back on training!
6 Felsite, 504
Paperwork and mixup happened, and now we're off duty! And still doing drills.
13 Felsite, 504
Ado Radifedem, a Human bard has come over. Let's see what she has to offer.
14 Felsite, 504
Huh. Cool.
22 Felsite, 504
Back to drills.
24 Felsite, 504
Yeah. I don't know who left this here. On the Lightning Picks,

"HMetal, what are we doing here? Nothing is happening. Day-to-day life is amazing, but boring. Our food is dwindling, booze is drying up, and we have an increasingly bored archery squad. Ingish says he has nothing to do here. Your mining expeditions are trivial, if ever existent. Your coin addiction is baffling. And lastly, BARELY ANY COPPER LEFT for the Tongs. What sloppy operation are you running?", our Duchess, Litast, growled at me.
"Umm, err..." "ANSWER ME!" "By Lim, calm down!" "What are we doing here? I'm doing nothing. Onciblu has basically become a living waste of space, and YOU ARE JUST DRILLING YOUR LAZY ASS!" "Isn't that a good thing? I used to be fat when I was a 15-year-old." "Yeah, but still, nothing is accomplished. What can we do?"
Out of nowhere Sanctume comes in. "Sanctume, why isn't anybody cutting the microcline I ordered to?", I asked. "Err, umm... I don't know. That gem cutter is too lazy I think. But I've been listening to you two here, and I have an idea." "Go for it, said Litast. "Dig into the depths!", Sanctume said. "You sure you don't want to hear that stomach-turning sound up close, or me for that matter? Or entirely more terrifying screeches?", I inquired. "Come on, this is an opportunity!", Sanctume hollered. "To do what? End this place? Last time I remember, HMetal here was ordered here to set up an exploratory enclave and a safe new Mountainhome for the Doors of Evening.", Litast said dryly.
"Still, we will do it. The King would want this. We can conquer demons! The old tale of Deathgate is the prime example here. We are Dwarfs, because we have pulled off stunts that would make a colossus blush. This fortress, for example, is a gargantuan pain to comprehend. Even when nobody neighbours us, we prepare for siege by making an extended entrance point for any invaders, and driving our merchant caravans crazy. But, we did that. Why not this?", she pleaded.
"Okay. Sanctume, let's do this.", I said. Litast said something about getting that done.

The end of Spring is just tomorrow. For that, some people have been cosying up. By dance of course.
An honorary Human ( bard is visiting, and a peregrine turned wild.

Now summer begins, and Lim knows what comes next.
But in the meantime, some news from the rest of Ecamo Alino.
na na na na naaaaaa na na na na naaaaaaa na NAHWelcome to Deathgame News. This is HMetal Raltosed, coming with news from our corner in Ecamo Alino. But first, the weather."
"Yes, the weather. I'm Rovod Glazecrews, and it seems to be very flowery with the outburst of summer!"
"As you can see, both sides of the Waters of Rock have bloomed! Don't ask about here though. It rains forever. Evil regions still rain fetid filth, blood, and snow blood as usual. End of segment. Back to you, HMetal."
"So, that's the weather. Now, onto Home News. What is it like, Sanctume?"
"Well, as you know, nothing has changed after our then-Baroness being promoted to a Duchess directly. The Faint Ring has briefly retired for the news segment. Back to you, HMetal."
"That's that, then. Thank you Sanctume. Now onto World News. Now for this segment, we have Blahsadfeguie Simplepainted with us in this room!"
"Yes, hello Deathgame. I used to be the overseer here, y'know." "Yeah we all do. Shut up, and get on with it."
"..."
"Alright, let's get on with it, Bleghbloop."
"Right. Firstly there's the Blade-war of Talons, waged by Deep Society of Indigo Nations (Humans), against the Roasted Pregnancy ..."
"Hold on, is that name real?" "Yeah." "Who are those guys?" "Elves of the Shaken Trees." "Makes sense. Anyway, 19 Goblins attacked Dawnedcave, which had a lone elf defending. Needless to say, the Pointies made a hasty retreat to their Druid-base or something."
"Next, we have The Incinerated War between Kingdom of Sacrifice and Shaken Trees. This time, 4 Elves hold back 20 Humans at Climatedusks during the Siege of Combat, and manage to kill one in fact." "Man, these names are weird."
"Next, there's the Conflict of Squeezing between the Hideous Dungeons of the Free Flies (Goblins) and the Youthful Wing of the Brave River (Elves). At Silkywheeled, the Attack of Thundering had 20 Goblins attack an army of 24 Elves defending their treehouses. One Greenskin died, and the rest ran for their pit. Dear Datan these names."
"Try stop caring about that. Up next was the War of Clashing, waged by League of Evisceration of Frilly Realm (Humans) against Confusing Evils of Midnight of Dreams. Humans attacked Scorpionfiend, killed 4, and now are probably stuck there trying to figure out the logistical clusterfuck of a pit."
"Then here's the weird one. The Ignited Dagger-conflict between the Mythical Band of Indigo and the Rapid Vegetation (weeds) of the Shaken Trees has no armed altercation listed here." "What?" "Yeah, I know."
"Also, the Squashed Conflict between the Dread of Burden of the Fiend of Judges (Goblins) and the Tempests of Clouting of the Brave River (Elves) cropped up, with a Goblin victory. One elf died, and no one in the Gobbo camp knows how to reclaim this damn place. Basically a successful Assault of Lashes."
"Next, in the Conflict of Outrage, the Coalition of Foot, of the Indigo Nations, attacks the Persuasive Swamp of the Shaken Trees. They attacked twice, but the Elves held them off in both the Stormy Onslaught and the Siege of Jaws. In both battles, one Human was lost."
"And lastly, we have the Rings of Tongs. These traitors to Dwarfkind are a band of necromancers who founded Soundwall, a tower of reanimated evil. Since they're so unique, we'll post the details on the screen now."
"Yeah, they're sore. Even when the joyous flowers of summer light up by them, they stay in the dark."
"Anyway that's the news. I'm HMetal Raltosed." "And I'm Blahsadfeguie Simplepainted." "And this has been Deathgame News. Have a good night, and a good drink!"
Now, I am
EXTREMELY sorry about the necrupdate, but exam season and a general lack of drive in doing anything has, as you can attest, killed the stream of the LP here. But, as the Elves say, "C'est la vie."
