11th Malachite 15
The new mayor really likes amulets so she decided we can't export any of them. And it's almost time for the human caravan to arrive.
15th Malachite 15
A small group of migrants arrived today. Two doctors, a high master bone carver and then some novice crafters, and a child.
18th Malachite 15
I met Camela, our guest tigerman in the food stockpile room, she was really enjoying our dragon meat roasts.
23rd Malachite 15
Visited the hospital again. Kromeus was still on traction, but looked fine to me. I ordered the traction bench dismantled. And to get some exercise after laying in bed for months, I drafted him into militia. He's already got some rusty fighting skills so I'm sure he'll enjoy sparring with other rookies.
Afterwards, I noticed the other patient was also released from the hospital. With a fractured hip and an infection. The doctors are clueless. Sigh.
1st Galena 15
This place is starting to attract all sorts of weird creatures. First the monsters in the caverns, then a dragon, and now an ettin shows up.
4th Galena 15
Well I thought the fortress guard could use some live target practise, so I ordered the drawbridge raised and the fortress guard stationed on top of the wall. The ettin couldn't get inside so it started bashing down the doors of our old huts, just like the dragon did before. So there it was, a perfect target for anyone with a crossbow. And the imbeciles forgot to bring any bolts with them! Only one of the guards, Tosid, had some bolts in his quiver. So, while he was shooting the other two were just watching.
Meanwhile, a leatherworker had a brilliant idea and later claimed a workshop and started gathering random items.
Back at the wall, after Tosid ran out of ammo Torrasque II arrived with a quiver full of bolts and continued pincushioning the ettin.
9th Galena 15
Torrasque II finally ran out of bolts. The ettin is crawling around crippled, vomiting all over the place. One of its heads has a bolt stuck on it.
It's time for the rookie squad to see some action, so I'm ordering them to deal with the ettin. I'm sure they can handle it, being half dead already.
Suprisingly, the ettin still takes a lot of beating from rookies armed with steel weapons. The final blow comes from Vutok's foot. He showed great courage in the battle, first trying to bite the ettin's leg off and then resorting to martial arts. And everybody here knows I'm a big fan of
the Way of the Urist.
12th Galena 15
That leatherworker finally gathered everything he needed, including the bones of the late dragon. Hopefully he produces something useful out of all this junk.
niiiiiiiiice, how is it going with the metal industry and the wood pile, do you have enough wood and steel for weapons and armor?
Not much. Bought all the wood from the elves and it's pretty much gone already. It doesn't help to have two forgotten beasts roaming in the caverns. I had plans to dig down for magma but then Malduz arrived. The damn thing isn't impressed of the trap I created for it.
