So No-Hair took a look around and somehow, I'm not sure, we have a small breach we can roam around in the caverns, blocked by trees. This explains how we haven't been eaten by that elephant-descended monstrosity of a sea-food platter. We need to eliminate that one in particular at range.... I wonder if there's a way we can use the various abominations for The Great Operation?
.... No, that's a stupid idea....

I've been poking around the foort and found what I thought was remains of a recent fight. Turns out it was just some skeletal dog remains and Leftover silk from that thing Lomoth. I was about ready to have a heart attack if that thing was roaming around the fortress.

Loud Whispers has been churning out...... Something. I have no clue what the hell he's making, but I did receive seven masterwork creation notes.There's also some stupid bird harassing citizens out collecting enemy weapons laying out in the muck.... Which is strangely light as of late.

hah! I had forgotten I had made preparations before! I must make adjustments as I have since devised a superior design, but! Hahaha! I'll have more of the animals culled and more munitions churned out.
For some reason there's an engraved firing corridor though.... Not really sure why Tomio and Reudh insisted on engraving everything in sight when it wasn't really needed, especially since the majority is crap about gloom trolls or the fortress founding.
Come on people, we have other things to engrave you know. How about when we killed the spawn's hive king? Or when Fischer killed that frog thing or the minotaurs? Seriously. There's more images of those stupid night haunters and the founding than the stuff dwarves would want to actually look at or read of. I do have to admit, an elf managing to kill a night hag is rather impressive though. I've also found Mr Frog seems to be the most prolific engraver of our citizenry.
Fitting. He showed me a tool he uses to create some of the more detailed things in his lab, a delightful little implement that burns and carves things where he puts a little red dot.
I've also selected Corai to replace myself as bookkeeper. I've sent Rose to inform him to pack his things and prepare for the move to his new accommodations. Evidently he's the only one with any real ability with accounting and such besides myself.
-For several pages you find naught but drawings of various quality, generally depicting dwarves killing barbarians, goblins and other such beasts.-
That was a spectacular waste of paper. Oh, and one of our full-time marksdwarves is in the hospital. He's being fed and watered regularly but apparently he can't walk on account of a broken foot.
[So yeah. I had forgotten all about my prior preparations So I just need to make some tweaks. Someone's pet cheetah was found dead from an altercation with the animals all pastured to serve as a distraction, not sure who owned it. Corai was appointed to Book keeping as literally the only dwarf besides mine with record keeper skill, and TheKaspa's room is awaiting furnishings.
This year will be quite productive indeed when ammo and walling materials are made.].
