Here thread, have a short update!
5th Felstie, 211-The following page appears smeared with blood and egenrally has some water damage, as do the few after it.-
Things have been quiet for the most part Fischer's resumed her duties as 1st Company's field commander, and she was decidedly upset by Awl's death, but no more so than she would be were it anyone else. Got caught in a damned blood storm checking on the mechanics who were making the way into the spikewalk even more of a death trap.
That kid who went funny in the head also finished his project. It was one hell of a nice helmet made from that goat-thing's bones and hide. Has bands of oval and cushion cut shale and crystal glass around it with a row of gypsum spikes between them, leather and silk skullcap and a silk chinstrap. There's also bands of raised bone and beast hide near the bottom and a crown on each side. Pretty nice even if it isn't worth much. Calls it Bomrekgitnuk, "Whipmint." Kind of a queer name, but hey, who am I to judge?
Speaking of which he joined 1st Squad. Couldn't find a pike so he took a bronze whip, put that fancy bone hat on and went to the Iron Barracks. not sure why he went with the whip to be honest.12th Felsite, 211Another freak of nature showed up according to Mr Frog's funny observation equipment. Col. Fischer says she has an idea that will require a fresh batch of spears and pikes and possibly a cave in but it should work. I sent the orders down to Rodge and he'll make sure the miners get their part done. If all goes well that toxin spewing bird will be done with and Dauros will be able to take down that spider.
Every time something like that shows up I'm reminded why this place sucks. It's a damned magnet for weird shit like this.13th Felsite, 211Barkeaters are here. Gonna give them some incentive to piss the hell off.
After we take any combat capable animals of course.-
Dauros wasted the two pack animals and one of the merchants and let one of them go. Let's see if the little fuckers have anything to say about that this year.19th Felsite, 211Just got wind of an attack topside. Spawn. I've alerted 2nd Squad to stay on alert and Dauros went to deal with the scout force alone.-
Several spawn captured, at least one gummed up a trap, and Dauros got the rest. That dwarf is a damned fine example of how dwarves of old fought.
There was also a group that got in and messed up OverlordTNT. She was bringing some loot from the barkeaters in when a second group of ambushers crept into the depot. I have some newfound respect for the Duke too. Almost killed three spawn on his own, but he was too late to save OverlordTNT. Poor girl suffocated after a neck injury.[And here's why Savero now has newfound respect for Splint.

Kill 1
Kill 2
In the process of making kill 3]
It got little dicey there since those three actually made it into part of the fortress proper, even if they didn't live very long. The Duke was pretty pissed at Skitara though because she killed the third spawn right before he could land the death blow.
I don't even want to know what summer has for us if spawn actually making it in is what Spring gave us.
So year. Splint did pretty good, scoring two spawn kills and actually bashing the arms off of the third before Skitara came along and shanked it with her pike. OverlordTNT died sadly, but such is life in Dwarf Fortress.
