It's happened again, two ambushes, even being led both by humans, and the elves just look at them sternly and the goblins retreat. Very strange, but getting to be the norm around here.

The elves brought us a muskox to match with the other beast from our original wagon. Along with another male deer that unfortunately we already had in the cage. I basically gave away a ton of goblin crap for some wooden weapons, the two animals, some flour, and sun berry related goods.

In early summer Eli created her first masterpiece, a dog bone earring. May not be much, but shows how skilled Eli is getting in carving bone.

The humans have actually survived the trip to the trade depot. After last year I was beginning to wonder. They bring with them massive amounts of metal bars, weapons, and oceanfish. I bought a couple cows, along with those items, some cheese and milk, and gave them massive amounts of goblin gear, and items fallen from the other caravan. I figure they can find the next of kin's owners, or sell it to others for all I care. Not my problem. The final count exchanged was over 800,000 dwarfbuck value.

I requested more metal bars, weapons, and charcoal for next season. Lets hope that the caravan's won't have as much trouble as last year.

The humans made it away safely and we closed the gate behind them. I've been working on smoothing some of the walls for the dining hall, and hopefully we will have our water feature done by winter.

Late summer brought another baby girl to Hexed and Larn's family, and young Vieto has started walking around on his own power. I've added yet again another bed to the Azure suite.

Shortly after Hedge was making a few barrels to hold meat, when he made his first masterpiece. We are quickly becoming a group of very skilled craftsmen.

Here in early winter, I've given the order for the aquifier to be breached above the new waterway and hopefully in a few moments we will have our waterfall and some misty spray sparking in the sunlight.




Waterfall area in the dining hall, 2 squares falling, with a circle of copper bar floors around it. Still having some trouble with splashing outside the circle, so may yet expand it, but need to expand the whole dining hall first.

This year we traded for a giant Leopard, a normal jaguar, another deer(turns out to be male again...), an elk, and the assorted wooden weaponry and sun berry goods.

While we were trading, I kept getting reports of items dissapearing from the piles of goblin junk left outside in the desert sun. And when I released the elves, our new cat decided it would be a good time to rush out and try to hunt topside.

In the tunnel it found some very unfriendly fellows with bows.



The Kobolds apparently don't have the same sort of agreement with the elves that the goblins do. Two elven merchants lost their lives before the kobolds were turned away, and amazingly the cat survived without taking a scratch from beastmen bows.



Hexed gave birth to another girl this summer, before the humans arrive.

The humans arrived with a bunch of kobold master thieves. Most of them didn't amount to much, either running away or being killed by the human guards. However, one in particular did manage to do some damage. Hexed's newest baby has a broken leg after Hexed found one of the thieves just outside the gate in the tunnel. It will heal eventually, but it can't be pleasant. At least she dosen't have to walk on it. Oh, and the cat died, bled to death after being stabbed in the lung by a thief outside the tunnel.

Larn came to me today and suggested that we pull down the old stone trade depot, and remake the whole area with new stones and metals that we had on hand. I agreed, and left things in his hands.



I'm not sure what to say about how it turned out, the depot itself is make from rose gold and bismuth, surrounded by bauxite floors, a dark blue kimberlite back wall, bright yellow gypsum side walls, and steel in the front. It looks a little too clownish to me, I may decide to redo the walls at least, maybe when we have enough steel to fully enclose the building in that metal. Or better yet, God metal.

Oh and in case anyone reading this record is wondering, the humans actually did make it back out alive this year, with full wagons of goblin junk, and tasty meals. I told them to bring me more metal bars, and some wood next year.

Whoa, we're breeding like little bearded rabbits cats.
And yyyeah. Maybe that blue backwall is a bit too much. 

This manages to stay a very interesting read, and I love the frequent updates. Keep it up! ^^

[Haika]

Glad you like it, I may however go into fewer updates, as I'm not sure how interesting several pages of 'I got this animal from the elves, bought some crap from the humans, ambush killed this caravan, ambush avoided that caravan' type thing. I'll still record important stuff if anything different happens, but it's going to be some time before I get some adult dwarves, so I need to keep it moving.

Would ya think about reducing the time it takes for the kiddies to grow up in the raws? That way, you wouldn't have to play for 12 in-game years just for them to become adults.

[elizar]

I'm not sure if that will affect the kids already born :/

As for the fact it's getting to a boring routine, make up a story. Most community forts are about that.
