Autumn. The transition from summer to winter. The transition from hot to col- Where was I? Oh right, journal. We're at autumn.

Kilakan came to me and said he gained more expierience or something. Began digging a huge statue garden.

Great. The cave river has caused our only mason to be swept into the depths. I'm not sure whether to blame the river or the mason. Well, the spring migrants might bring a mason or two. This is the second time our population dropped below our starting seven.

The caravan! We've produced no trade goods! Oh. Right. My mechanisms! Nomash LovedHammers to the rescue!
25th of Limestone, 1054
I made a few more mechanisms while the traders came to our depot. Also, the caravan gave me an idea for our defense!
26th of Limestone, 1054
All I got out of the traders was a few plump helmets...

We've struck tin ore! Now we can have bronze! At least, I think casserite is a copper ore... But malachite is! And I'm sure we can find that.

A miner found a deep chasm! I wonder what matter of horrors lie within!

Migrants! So early! Awesome! I'll do a head count later. Umm... The migrants told me they found a dead axedwarf. Free armor and weapons! Anyway, I count 5 peasants, 1 jeweler, 2 carpenters, 1 craftsdwarf, and 1 metalsmith. Oh, and 1 fisherdwarf. I told 2 of the peasants to take up masonry, and the other 3 became our military. Two go into crossbows, one went into axeing. The new axedwarf had a strange name, Gaaben. Oh, and - (The rest of the entry is covered in blood.)

Nomal was hurt bad. It's two red wounds. At least, I think that's bad. A horde of mandrills raided us and stole some armor and weapons. We needed those axes!
Winter Summary: A death, a caravan, and a wounded dwarf. And some mandrills.
So, I found Nomar hurt by our moat. Probably an elephant. Maybe same one that killed the axedwarf. Hopefully she'll make it.
