They decided to leave my fortress via the circus because the front door was locked to keep Goblins out.  THAT should be an interesting trip back to the Mountainhome.

Coffins are a waste of resources and space. Build stone slabs at the mason's workshop, then when someone dies (like the cat), have them Dumped to a garbage dump underneath a bridge, lower the bridge onto the corpse, and engrave a slab with their name and install it. It works just as well as burial for preventing corpses, but you can stick them in the statue garden, and they don't block pathing.

I disagree, but only for Nobles (they get pissy if you dont give them a good tomb), the immortals (the millitary, to cut down on tantrum spirals of their family), and the miners (they deserve it after all). The rest of them get Engraved Slabs

I must make a note to buy some cats from traders at the next opportunity and see if I can chain up a breeding pair someplace clean. Having kittens wandering the hallways will be a good way of identifying patches of paralytic poison that still need to be taken care of.

You will be added to the dwarfing list. Any requests as to type/profession?

Maybe some type of armour or weapon smith when they arrive, otherwise a normal military grunt is fine.

Excerpt from "Chief Cook" Overseer Rendell's Journal: Eighth Entry

To commemorate the victory over the Goblin forces, a statue of the dwarfs that fought in the battle has been placed in the courtyard, to show future generations what it means to be a dwarf of Mirroredfreezes! The Goblin leader has been tossed in animal storage until such a time we have a use for him.     

Also in memory of the battle it seems the once possessed mason Limul Medtobkod has constructed "Igathelot" a slate coffin, which has since been confiscated and now occupies a place in my study, until I can build a grand tomb to put it in.



17th of Moonstone
More wood, dogs that Hostergaard can train into warhounds, some more iron weapons and armour for the military plus other essentials are bought from the traders.


23rd of Moonstone
Construction of grand burial-chambers for Overseers and great dwarfs alike begins today, so far Ive only ordered the construction of two tombs, one for myself and the other for past overseer Bp920091. I halted production of coffins, so only a few deserving dwarfs will have access to them.


8th of Opal
The traders leave today, taking our fine mugs, crafts and trinkets in exchange for supplies that are actually valuable for living on a desolate glacier in the middle of nowhere.   


10th of Opal
The construction of the two grand burial-chambers is finished today! with the recently liberated artefact coffin installed in one.


19th of Opal
The high class apartments are finished. The walls have been smoothed, a cabinet, coffer, table and chair have been installed in to every room.

As of the moment only Javier, Bp920091 and myself have rooms, with Bp920091's room having the legendary throne that he crafted himself.
There are also plans for an weapons and armour rack to also be installed.

7th of Obsidian
The caged goblin Zolak Ureratu, has been placed into the newly revealed arena which is used for gladiatorial contests to entertain dwarfen spectators young and old, which they can view great-battles and dine with comfort from the grand-hall!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)


16th of Obsidian

Another goblin raid party has arrived, most likely in hopes of freeing their comrade from his impending doom.... or just for some chance for gold and bounty.. its hard to tell with goblins.

The goblin squad approaches drawbridge, only to be meet with two of Hostergaard's trained wardogs set to guard the area.
I call for the alarm, Javier and other warrior-dwarfs make for the bridge, however they will arrive to late as the goblins themselves have almost reached the bridge!
As the only dwarf on station duty, I charge the 5 goblins and enter a martial trance as the goblins strike down the two patrolling war-dogs

One of the goblins is slain on the bridge, the rest of the goblins begin to flee at the onslaught, three more are cut down as they retreat while the last manages to escape. Javier and the reinforcements arrive, but too late, the battle was over..


28th of Obsidian

As the year of my reign ends, I decide to host our very first arena match!
I equip my armour, hoist my shield and grab my axe, as I prepare to match the goblin Zolak in the arena. Right now the council is properly deciding who the next Overseer will be..
As I walked to the centre of the new arena I yell "Pull the lever!", the door begins to slowly open and the goblin leaped from its recent confined cage, as I and goblin began to charge forward.. I thought to myself that whoever the next Overseer will be, I wish that poor bastard good luck.       

End Excerpt

Here's the the fort stats at years end

Also Sabretache still needs a dwarf, so the next overseer can see to that.

Journal of Artimaus  Miner Shanghaied Overseer


Spring


Somehow I was made overseer. Because everyone knows that miners are the most qualified for leadership positions. Well, since I'm here I might as well do something. Being a miner, my goal is find adamantine. Oh yeah and build a tomb that I will actually fit in.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I think that is about right. Twice as large as the other two overseer's tombs. Poor guys; now all I need is to gild it in gold and put platinum furniture in there.

I want to tell you they were bad men, cephalo.  I want to tell you that with a better overseer the Fortress never would've gotten so bad someone would get offed in a pointless fisticuffs.
But the sad truth charlie?
It was inevitable.
