15th Galena, 211The fight is done, but we lost Hopper in the chaos, as well as a dog and Sus' pet sheep. Between Hopper and the sheep, the poor fellow was pretty distraught about it.[I missed the sheep.]
17th Galena, 211The humans came for another shot, mercenaries this time so its our old friends under Gugiromon's employ. And when I got topside on the fist all I can say is......That is a lot of bear cavalry. Thankfully we cut off their entry to anywhere but through our soldiers.18th Galena, 211The fight is done. There were no casualties, but Tahudjt had a close call when a bear clamped down on his foot. Lefton put his sword through its head before it got the chance to tear it off. I'm also worried about Ranger. He reported coming down with a slight fever and that usually means spawn infection, or so I've been told. Did he get bit during the last attack by the spawn?8th Limestone, 211Things have been quiet for the most part. I've been assisting with the clean-up work so that hasn't left a whole lot of time to write in you journal... We had a few scares, namely two elkbirds and a cave ogre but they weren't much more than an inconvenience. Bu-9th Limestone, 211Ranger and Aussieevil must've been bitten during the previous attacks by the spawn... It's such a shame... Ranger was a good soldier and Aussieevil may have been a bit queer in the head with his blood fascination and all the random things he said about the stuff falling on our heads, but he was a good dwarf at heart. One of Talvieno's cavies died too, being the first thing Aussieevil could get his claws on. She was heartbroken when we told her this and I saw her put it in a little coffin and take it into her room. Sh probably has cubbyholes for all her pets in there.
On the plus side, some of the troops said they saw Tuber's spirit floating about topside where he/she died in the ambushes. Tuber can rest easy now at least.Due to the recent deaths, I asked the first dwarves I saw if they'd be willing to replace Hopper or Ranger. Ncommander said no, but Ergo Fairlodge heard and said she'd be willing to replace either one so I sent her to the Morningstars. Dorsidorf volunteered to take Ranger's place.18th Limestone, 211The Hall of Heroes is filling rapidly. I went over the records of dwarves who've died on our grounds and many while they were interred in The Clover, went without a proper memorial stone. We took care of that over the last 9 days, but we needed to add some more halls into the overall portion of the fortress.25th Limestone, 211I fucking hate ravens. Not just because of the clean-up issues they're posing, but because one fuckin' shit on me today. And if anyone brings it up I'll get violent, because a bird shitting on your head isn't funny. It isn't exactly "saw my freinds and coworkers die" bad, but it's still unpleasant.28th limestone, 211Migrants arrived! Terrahex decided to inform me by scaring the complete and utter shit out of me at breakfast. How that dwarf manages to stay out of sight unless he wants you to see him astounds me. I need to find a pin or some glue to put the list in here.-

Not really sure what use some of them will be but Moss should be able to deal with various animals if nothing else.7th Sandstone, 211The new dwarves are settling in nicely and helped accelerate the clean-up slightly. After all the deaths we had I'm amazed we got any dwarves to come here at all.8th Sandstone, 211Both Dauros and Skitara seem to have gotten a bit clingy to thier shields."Womenfights, The Brutal Decay" and "Decentburst." Kinda... Well I dunno what to make of those. And I'm not gonna make any remarks, because I'm pretty sure naming objects is a sign of a dwarf losing thier shit.9th Sandtone, 211Can we please get a fucking break!? I don't even know what the hell a ribbon worm is! Lefton was the first one done with his lunch so he got to go kill it. It can't get to us, but I don't want that.... Thing, sitting down there.-
Or not. because that idiot though changing his clothes was more important than putting down a freak of nature. Dauros is heading down to kill it now. Fucking incompetent funny talking... -
He's dealt with it, and grabbed one of the young ones to knock a hole in the iron palace. Apparently he's going to get rid of the aphid and any shadow devils he runs across along the way.11th Sandstone, 211Done and done. Two shadow devils and a freakish aphid. He had a close call but got it before it got a third salvo of webs out. in his report it snagged him twice but he got loose enough both times to dodge its kicks at him. [Blind fucking luck. Dauros should be dead.]
28th Sandstone, 211Decided to start of the winter with a little commemorative execution. We pitched all our POWs off the Fist of Rage with Fischer's First waiting to finish off whoever didn't die on impact except for two goblins who we left to Sus alone. Killing them improved his mood considerably. [It really did. Killing them gave him hat little murder happy thought boost]
