Mr Frog's weapons are best described as barely functional improv jobs and expieriments. He doesn't have the tools he'd need to mass produce them on the scale they'd be needed in thier present form. Not that Fischer would accept a new weapon.
EDIT: Due to educational obligations, Karakzon has thrown in the towel. Loud Whispers will be contacted and alerted that he's up.
28th Obsidian/1st Granite, 208-209. Intermittant Entry.
There are curious things afoot in this fortress. We've suffered random attacks by the mercenaries who before had helped us following our ceasation of business (I guess they didn't take thier contract termination well,) reports of some sort of flying mechanical monster in the form of a fish, a mechanical abomination remeniscent of a bronze colossus that somehow managed to disappear within the fortress, and Jack's body's gone missing. We recovered the remains of Domas after the battle, and another dwarf who had wounds not matching what Reudh saw Jack suffer from his observation point. I can only suspect some skulking Spawn made off with the body to feed another small warband with.
My hammer tells me the training station may be required following a recruitment drive, and that something else might have taken Jack. I still think a spawn stole away with him for meat.
They will pay for thier tresspasses.... Oh yes, they will pay.
The writing in the journal continues off into a small passage written in some strange language you can't translate, but appears to be a heavily bastardized form of dwarven. You're positive it has some kind of religious meaning and is probably a curse of some sort upon the spawn as a race, possibly of Barbarian origin.
