Obviously the sun is a supply of magma! Let us harvest it's greatness.
Duh, if it would be magma, it would just flow down, silly.
Dariush, you have been dorfed as a legendary metalcrafter.

The day started in a wonderful way with another childbirth. Then the elves popped out. And they had an elephant with them.
An elephant.That's it. I'm going to buy the thing, housebreak it, train it, and show to their pesky trumpeting kind that not even they can stand against the might of the dwarves anymore. We also caught a goblin snatcher. I instructed to keep all the captured goblins safely locked away for now. I have plans for them...

An ambush. Of crossbowmen. Some pump operator got flail to the head and died. The failgoblin then got sword to the head and died, too. A snatcher tried to sneak in so I stabbed him to the head. He also died. We sold the dead goblins to elves, who were most delighted. This will no doubt improve our diplomatic relations.

Regardless of the operation: Skyscraper and all other assorted jobs, I noticed a high amount of dwarves simply milling around our halls. Secondly, there's a whole motherlode of goblinite outside. So, in my great wisdom, I have decided to call this the duchy-wide crap-collection-day. The idea was met with roars of adulation after I poked the nearest grumbler with my spear.

By Armok's bloody bellybutton, we've been working for weeks and the crap pile isn't getting smaller! Meanwhile, I'm training all the usable animals as beasts of war. Why? I don't know.
