Damn and blast! We don't have any spare barrels or pots, and our only miner is resting in the hospital.
I'll have to ask still-healthy dwarves if they have any experience swinging a pick, and perhaps hollow out that mountain... I'll do it myself if I have to. We need good drink!
12th Granite, 109
Nobody is paying a lick of attention to what I'm saying. I don't even know where the picks are to pick one up so I can do this shit myself--
Oh. I pulled jmnmaui aside to ask what the hell was going on, and she gave me a strange look before reminding me about the lockdown. Well. Um. Oops.
13th Granite, 109
Success! I found a pick, and now I'm off to dig out that mountain and get enough stone for a Mountainhome's stock of pots.
16th Granite, 109
owowow this is harder than it looks
19th Granite
I took a brief break to tell everyone healthy and currently idle to start building up the central tower again. Skyscrapes may be in shambles, but while we still stand it is simply the right thing to do to claw our way up to the heavens.
20th Granite
Oh Ral dammit there's a wild boar on the loose attacking jmnmaui.
KILL IT
That's better.
21st Granite
Oh, what now...
22nd Granite
Hrm. Interesting.
1st Slate
Ral, I am so sick of those undead. And I'm sick of my fellow dwarves. They keep getting spooked by them. At least they paid attention when I told them to keep working on the central tower, so it's slow but steady progress.
Kulet got all the things he needs for his mysterious project, and is now muttering away in the workshop he claimed...
3rd Slate
Okay, shut up, I don't care anymore, so long as nobody's getting injured I DON'T CARE WHY YOU WON'T DO SHIT.
NOW GET BACK TO WORK, DAMMIT.
4th Slate
Huh?
Oh. He was in with some zombies. Well. Didn't know him, don't care.
6th Slate
Hmpf. Maybe some other overseer will find this useful, but I don't.
12th Slate
'K, you know what? Screw the central tower. I'm going to build shit right next to it. Maybe that'll be far enough away from the zombie hordes that PEOPLE WILL ACTUALLY STRIKE THE SKY.
19th Slate
I'm blind. I can see just fine, and I am utterly blind. There are several more levels to this tower...
Change of plans again. BUILD HERE!
Oh, and I let the idiots come complaining to me again. Reports of injuries will tip me off to something important; the whining of the masses is... meh.
4th Felsite
I'll just sit here and giggle. Poor kobold's gonna get ripped to shreds... And then possibly rise as another undead to harass us. Yay.
8th Felsite
Yesssssss! We have something beginning to approach almost enough drink again! Praise Ral!
12th Felsite
Plump helmets. Nothing but plump helmets. If I drink any more dwarven wine I will puke.
17th Felsite
Great. More corpses to add to the shambling masses. I hate this fortress, why did I ever move here, it's a cesspit of insanity and death...
19th Felsite
Huh. Two days later, and we're down about fifty moving enemies. Not too shabby, them goblins. Just so long as those necromancers don't come down off the cliffs...
22nd Felsite
Ral dammit I spoke too soon.
I hate this fortressssssss
Though we are down about 20 total creatures that want us dead. That's better than up 20.
Still precious little work done on the upper level, though.
We need more Ral-damned dwarves! If only those brats running around could be coerced into helping...
27th Felsite
I'm digging down. Hopefully I'll hit magma and a water-filled cavern or two, and a more mechanically-minded overseer than I can put them to best use. I know magma or water alone don't do much to undead, but perhaps an obsidianizer... or simply a freezing trap, to stop the shambling bastards in their tracks...

And that's Spring. Does anyone mind if I use Dwarf Therapist to make the few children we have useful? We're seriously short on able-bodied hands.
