26th of Slate
I have finished dumping the clothing and am now starting to stockpile the weapons and armor.
8th of Slate
Weapon stockpiling is coming to a close. I am creating a device that will let us dam the waterfall at will, so we can drain the river below.
13th of Felsite
The hippies are here. Maybe we can trade our now-depleted stocks of x(troll fur loincloth)xs for food and drink.
A side note: They have brought a breeding pair of dingoes. Those are better than dogs, right?
18th of Felsite
The humans are attacking. I issue an alert and command the militia to the front segment.
22nd of Felsite
The humans have begun their advance. One squad of hammermen, but still to much for our newly formed phalanx.
12th of Hematite
I have sealed off the drain on the river that filled our water source. Now, we have complete control of the waterfall. I will build a resevoir shortly. (OOC: After sealing the waterfall completely, FPS doubled.)
2nd of Malachite
One of our dwarves was possessed by some spirit, even though he is in bed with a broken rib. I am building a training machine to create an effective military quicker.
1st of Galena
I discovered that a dwarf had fallen off of the bridge, landed in the water, crawled into one of the sealed-up access tunnels, and killed a giant rat that was in there with his axe. I order the tunnel unsealed to rescue him.
1st of Limestone
The humans are advancing. I have ordered the front bridge linked up ahead of schedule to retract it.
19th of Limestone
We have killed all of the humans with only one casualty, my second-in-command who was shot by their leader.
2nd of Sandstone
I have started melting some of the scrap metal. Hopefully we can get some good dwarven gear for our soldiers.
17th of Sandstone
More migrants have arrived. I will assign them to a crossbow squad, and make any leftovers into ordinary peons.
17th of Timber
The dwarven caravan has just arrived along with a greenskin siege. They make it in just in time.
18th of Timber
Holy guacamole. The scouts count four squads of goblins with supporting trolls. We can't survive this.

***END
MASSAGEMESSAGE***
27th of Timber
After reading the military report, I decide to conscript 5 Peons as marksdwarves.
Misko was horribly wounded, but still stays at her station.
8th of Moonstone
I have had minimal success with getting the conscripts to do anything, so I order the bridge extended and retracted repeatedly. Watching goblins fall from on high- it's a beautiful sight, really.
(Here the handwriting differs.)
I am writing this on behalf of our late Overseer, Tahu Asteldegel. When the bridge was extended, several of the militia ran across to fight. Tahu cursed and ran after them. I shouted for them to turn it off, but it was too late. Tahu, 3 soldiers, and a dozen or so greenskins fell.
The siege has been broken! Nothing remains but three trolls stuck in the weapon traps. As Tahu's second in command, I shall be forced to command the city for the remainder of his term.
17th of Moonstone
The trolls still alive in the trap tunnel have forced me to wall it off to keep us safe.
27th of Moonstone
Tahu's orders to melt the some of the goblin armor down were finished today. We should probably do more, but I don't know where to begin.
(OOC: After yelling at the dwarves for half an hour, I realized that I had had "dwarves gather bodies" off. Facepalm.)
14th of Opal
I have built eight carpenter workshops down in the new workshop area. Also, we are cutting down some of the larger mushrooms for wood.
1st of Granite
After filling out Tahu's term, I will turn control over to the next electee. While clearing out his office, I found the plans for the waterfall floodgate. It is apparently incomplete, and needs to be connected to a lever.
This is a sketch. All craftmanship is of the highest quality. The artwork depicts the Overseer "Tahu" Asteldegel and goblins in graphite. "Tahu" Asteldegel and the goblins are falling from a great height. The goblins are cowering. "Tahu" Astelgedel is laughing.
I forgot to put this in the journal, but I built us a farm:
My lever room:
All that are connected have(N)otes on them, please put one of those if you use those levers.
We have a proper farming room now:
The next
victimOverseer should maybe build a river-draining machine to get all of that metal on the bottom.
Thank you, and good morning!
The save is here.
