6th Granite
Some loud banging came from a room a couple doors down from mine, hopefully those miners hurry up with the excavations of my new home, I would kick out that CaptainArchmage from his mansion, but all those levers in there honestly creep me out. However, I have concluded from this that those are the firing mechanisms for the Lance, and after reading on my poorly drawn map, I might know how to use it, but I think Scruffy is still working on some of the modifications that still need to be put in place.
I found some large houses that are still partially under construction in the south-eastern part of the fortress (Or is it south-east? Can't read this stupid thing) and have furnished a room to provide a new home for my loyal watchman.
I'd move myself into one of those places, but I should have a much better place in a week at the most.
10th Granite
The cave river is flooding, and a young foal has fallen in, at least it was a stray. I don't see any dwarves in the river, though.
12th Granite
The Elven Caravan from Thela.. Theli... Thelawem... Wherever, has arrived. Hey, it's been a week now, and they haven't even started on my room!
I should issue some beatings.
16th Granite
That Crazy Blacksmith that took over the magma forge just walked out of the forge, I think she just found what she was looking for, I'm following her to see what's to come from this.
18th Granite
A kobold has been spotted in the fort, luckily, however, LightningFalcon was on the spot and rammed a pick through his face before he could make it two steps.
22nd Granite
A kobold almost made off with the artifact, Sidlegon, the bronze idol. However, for mysterious reasons, dropped the idol only feet away from the border, and ran off away from it. I don't know what happened between that idol and the kobold, but whatever it was, I'm not going out to retreive it myself.
On a happier note, my house is now usable, and I can sleep in it while it gets... Oh, wait, I'm the Fortress's best Engraver, I guess I'll do that part myself.
26th Granite
The elves finally made their way to the depot, and we bought their entire load of strawberries and bloated tubers for a single *Andersite Mechanism* and some stray iron bolts
1st Slate
My first month back in the Captain's chair is marked by the beginning of a mysterious construction! That mad blacksmith finally found all that she needed, now hopefully she makes something worthwhile.
5th Slate
An artifact has been created! And it's a Gold... Armor Stand... Hmm... I guess it will make a nice addition to the chasm barracks.
Tosid Igamathel "Tosid Gorgeringed"
This is a gold armor stand. All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is studded with gold and encircled with bands of red spinel and rose quartz. This object menaces with spikes of gold.
