(Sorry for the delay chaps and chapettes, I'm intending to finish up tonight.)
23rd of Felsite, 79Well that went better than expected. The goblins killed the weregecko, and the remaining zombies collapsed after we killed the necromancers, and a single elf merchant managed to escape with her life. We're still practically besieged, but I have a plan for that...

So you will all be pleased to know that I, I mean, we, made it to Summer! Only a few dwarves lie their bodies broken and twitching and possibly wondering around outside our walls amongst the annual goblins. But we're alive!
25th of Hematite, 79Uh oh. My plan to kill the zombies and goblins didn't work quite how I hoped. I set up a tunnel out of the fort filled with traps, to lure them in. Unfortunately, half the dwarves in the fortress decided that they desperately wanted a stroll among the undead. I managed to stop most of them in their tracks, but there were losses. Still! No one important. One lucky bugger even managed to stroll out, take a look at the undead hoardes and stroll back down again.
11th of Malachite, 79Eventually all was well. After a comedy chase around the whole outside of the fort, a fisherdwarf was rescued by the military. The walking corpses were all caged or bashed with bismuth crossbows and whatnot. Now we can begin picking up the pieces. Oh! And in better news, I've had a lot of nice drink and am no longer miserable
15th of Malachite, 79Amish keeps throwing parties. I didn't think they did that sort of thing?
21st of Malachite, 79
Migrants! Somehow, one of the zombies was still hanging around the woods. Uh...
10th of Galena, 79Work continues to go well on the system of look-out spots dotted around the fortress. This should help prevent excess ambushes.
17th of Galena, 79Antiurist, that brave miner, picks a fight with goblin thief. The copper pick wins.
18th of Galena, 79Goblins strike just as a human caravan arrives. We just need some necromancers, living corpses and a weregecko and it'll be just like last season
