I just listened to your podcast, and it sounded great, don't get me wrong, but you know what it was missing?

@Talvi:

Google it, maybe? >.>;  I'd try to give a brief summation, but my 'brief summations' have a nasty habit of turning into 'full-length reviews/advertisements' :V

It was a bit rude of me to make a reference not everyone would get, though >>;  Sorry.

No worries. My "My god, it's full of bricks" is a reference to 2010: A Space Odyssey: http://youtu.be/oALxLNOhI6I?t=1m52s And I don't think anyone got it.

And I'll look up Monster Hunters.

As I'm taking down or adding events to a list to make my reports of later, here's some of what I decided to do in Hematite and the better half of Malachite.




27th Hematite, 210

I neglected to decommission the surface farms but no harm done. A nice big crop of silver bar- Wait, where the hell did we get the seeds for those?? Oh, the blood plains, right.

Well, that'll make some fine cruor or if we're feeling more wasteful, fine black dye. We'll have the silk for it. Anyway, we also have a crop of sunberries coming in so that'll make some fine booze.



28th Hematite, 210

We found what she said we'd find. It's old looking, to be sure. I sent 1st squad, or, what's left of it anyway, to hunt for it. They had to deal with a pair of Shadow Devils to get to it and Skitara almost took a trip into a pit, but we got it.

They brought it up and now that I've looked at it, I can say it's old. Very old. Mr Frog says he needs time to unlock it, something about it being an old "Identity Lock" or some nonsense. I recognized the symbol though; the box containing the cure belongs to those damned foreigners.It's been down there for a very long time by the looks of things. Hinges look worn, it's paint is peeling off and there's a good layer of slade dust still coating most of it.

With any luck we could at least quiet Softa and Ashsaber, if we can get Ash to old still long enough for one of us to stick him instead of ripping us apart.


2nd Malachite, 210

Mr Frog has begun work on cracking the box open. It'll take time, what with his lab equipment being moved when the box was brought up and he's still not quite finished setting up the new location.

5th Malachite, 210

Food and bolt production is still chugging along nicely. Honestly I should really stop bolt production, but eh. Maybe I should just order a firing range to be constructed. A proper one, I mean.

We've also begun to run short on iron so I've pur in an order for more to be produced.


6th Malachite, 210

Took a bit of a spill down the stairs getting dinner. Doctor says I have a mild concussion based on the symptoms. I wish I had something to make this headache go away.

8th Malachite, 210

I've decided to begin work on the palatial furnishings early. I've put in an order for 8 admantine tables and chairs, several gold, admantine, and platinum statues, a solid gold sarcophagus and door, and gold hatch covers. Even if Queen Sibrek only stays long enough for the primary inspection, she will be accommodated in style.

After she leaves we could probably turn it into a rather wonderful museum or something. Maybe a nice break facility?


10th Malachite, 210

Metal production is now in full swing again. We have literal tons of ore and adamantine thread that needs to be processed into useful ingots. I've also received a request for a pair of longswords from Sergeant Lefton. I need to see who's on weapons production; we seem to have outstanding weapon orders that haven't been taken care of at one of the forges.

12th Malachite, 210

Well, we're now officially out of iron until the smelters work on making more.

15th malachite, 210

I've decided to have a zoo dug and filled with spare animals. Might as well put some of them smaller critters to use right? I've also remembered there was a number of coffins in a large engraved room and have ordered they and the interred by moved down to the clover, so they may rest beside the rest of their fellows.

16th Malachite, 210

Went up to the Fist with Rose to do a little overhead survey and saw a flock of crows or ravens or something up there. We started throwing mugs at them and Rose pegged one right in the head! At least I think it was the head. Either way it slammed into the side of the Fist pretty hard.

Good riddance. I hate those damned flying rats.


-The writing appears to be shakey here.-
 
20th malachite, 210

If I hadn't spoken to the dwarf myself I would have never believed it. Asea was on patrol down in the clover and reported hearing a loud thunk of a stone coffin lid crashing on the floor. When he investigated, The Master's coffin was found empty... I'd have thought he was going mad but shortly after he gave the report... The Master had come into my office asking if I knew what crate Chestnut was in.

I am also told, understandably, several dozen dwarves voided thier bowles when they saw a dwarf who's been dead for years walking around looking like nothing was wrong, aside froma strange eye-tick when he sat still too long that would be followed by an outburst of the word carnage. I told him to ask TheKaspa, since she's our de facto arsenal dwarf as bookkeeper and apparently she's in the hospital with a concussion due to her passing out at the sight of The Master.

He has demanded and been granted reinstatement into First Squad, and apparently when informed while she was conscious,Fischer shouted "WHAT!?" and scared the dwraf who told her so badly he wet himself with the outburst.

I think what's so terrifying about this is he's not undead... He's perfectly healthy in fact, at least physically. I am left to wonder... Has he become one of Armok's chosen?

Of course Armok would choose the dwarf that would do the most for Him, but the least for the health of the fort...

Hey, let's NOT insult the Master by comparing him to Armok, ok?

I would like a Dorf. Preferably Male non-pike using military dwarf. Looking forward to seeing it all crumble.
