Someone's dog spotted a gremlin. No-Hair proceeded to completely tear it to shreds. Why No-hair has an axe I don't know, but whatever.

Construction operations begin on the great Iron Palace of the Underworld. I have decided to build a refined adamantine stairwell right into the belly of the world itself and from there build the palace around it.I'm tempted to have windows installed, as it's quite bright down there. Not quitebright enough for surface crops to live, but still.
Thirili the Oceanic Cave has been sighted bearing down on a forestry crew in the caverns. I wanted to send Dauros but the last time something with gas attacked us Fischer was put out of action. I've sent one of Paintbrush's axe lords to deal with it; after all, it's just some brainless frog.
I coulda sworn we killed that thing already...

Reports from Andal and Mekkia say the Painbrush sent down Gemblade and Dicer. Evidently the fight was quick and brutal, and there was a scare with Dicer taking a little dip in Lake Lomoth. After she got out Gemblade confirmed that the frog had a particularly hard head as Dicer was "a little annoyed," and cracked the thing in the side of the head with a hammer and got an audible snapping sound out of it. After Gemblade got involved directly it was over pretty quickly according to Andal. He got on top of it and just kept chopping and chopping until it was more or less torn in half.
I went down to check out the mess and the only detail the left out in the different reports was, oh, I don't know, maybe the almost-adult-dwarf-sized foot that was sticking out of a pile of lumber?

Evidently everyone who was exposed to that gas crap the frog spewed suffered random bruising over a large part of their bodies. Oh, and gemblade was spotted doing something with his axe. He said that he wanted to give it a name in honor of it's first truly monstrous kill. Anyway, the gas causes random fainting and dizziness as well; Gemblade faceplanted into a table instead of a bed wen he went to the hospital for a check-up.
Oh, and he named his axe Zan Tanzul, The Artifact of Nooses. Nice name I guess.

Elves think they're a bunch of hardasses and left via the caverns. I hope a bat man eats them.

I've decided to see how long you can hear a goblin scream when you pitch them down a glowing pit when we get that far down. Should be pretty entertaining, we even got a betting pool going. I put ten silver mugs on thirty seconds.
