We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

And so, The Master returned. This will be fun. Sorry for fading out, I lost interest. Right now, and for quite a while, I don't have the interest in this to write a bit. I'll lurk for now until I get my enthusiasm back up.  :'(

Holistic curing sounds interesting. Hoping to see what would come of it.

Yeah that's probably my fault.

Forgive my saying so, but... you're way too hard on yourself, man. :P

I actually wrote a chapter for the Vanya story yesterday! And I just finished up a huge article on Scheck Kenzon, Katie's dad, so that's my Spearbreakers story bit for the day: http://spearbreakers.wikia.com/wiki/Scheck_Kenzon

*ahem* I am very happy about this. As is everyone else, I'm sure.

Guess what boys and girls, I'm working on an update! We have a strange miasma problem for some reason that may or may not be the result of Zopsu's blood.

So here's a short update, I decided to cut it where I did due to us getting some playmates.



21st Malachite, 210

A raven blundered into a cage trap today. I don't even know why I'm writing about it. Not like we can get at it with the gate up. I wonder fi we'll get any migrants?

22nd Malachite, 210

Spent the evening on the Fist. I decided I need to get outside more and Crusher was too drunk to even stand after dinner to take his turn on watch duty. I still gotta commend that dwarf for being able to do that. Anyways, A saw another flying rat drop. Damned thing was pecking around one of the weapon traps and set it off; jammed the thing up pretty good too surprisingly, so I may need to have the bridge lowered so the trap can be rearmed.

23rd Malachite, 210

I've decided to begin some limited reconstruction of the walls topside. I figure that before long some idiot will notice a large chunk is made of wood that, after a decade of exposure to the elemets and whatnot is in somewhat poor repair. I've also put out an order for encrusting some of our junk. It'll get some of those excess gems we have sitting in crates in the depot.

I've also put an order out for mass production of beds, cabinets, doors, and chests. We have plenty of bins now for storage, and we can even see the floors in the storerooms now!


26th Malachite, 210

Harvest of the adamantine is going well. I'm fairly possitive we've torn up everything that can be safely extracted.

3rd Galena, 210

Mr Frog still hasn't gotten that damned box open. Apparently something went wrong with the locks. I bet humans made that cheap junk of a lock if it broke down.

Been a while since it rained blood. Even got a normal rainstorm earlier. I'm sure nature will fix that. just seems so.... Strange to me now seeing the plains with so little blood on them.


4th Galena, 210

Called it.

13th Galena, 210

Where does time go? Anyways, I got word that Marlin spotted a giant rat that slipped in through the untrapped cavern entry between wood gathering errands. Some idiot forgot to put in a door like I asked. Since War happened to be closest and armed, what with her being one of the civil defense sergeants, I she took some initiative and went after it into the abandoned parts of the fortress.

16th Galena, 210

I found out what happened to Wari, by way of her dropping off a report of the battle. Apparently she spent three days hunting the over-sized vermin in the lower traffic parts of the fortress and cornered it by the old hospital. Her report says it took getting the thing backed against a wall for her to land more than a shallow cut, and she's fairly certain she tore one of its lungs and sliced both of it's right legs before it stumbled and she slew it with a thrust to the head. She came out unharmed aside from "A contusion received when the rat slammed me into the wall trying to escape." I'm pretty sure that means she got a bruise, but my first aid is pretty.... Well rusty to nonexistent since the last injury I treated was a dislocated arm.

Sorry guys I've sorta vanished. My computer kinda broke, and I do mean broke. So sad and this section hates my PS3 for some reason. Regardless I'm still alive and waiting to see if anything can get even worse before the end.

The book can crush skulls, and the coffin grows ever stronger and now that is has a few dead dragons in it, it sends people flying a mile backwards to explode in a pile of gore. Gore which I then place into the coffin,

That it would rain blood as soon as I mentioned it. Literally I typed the thing about it having been a while while I had the game running and I see it say "It is raining mountain barbarian blood!"
