Unknown Journal from Murdermachines9th Malachite, Mid-SummerThe Voidgod's return has lead the extermination of the trolls and goblins that inhabte the fortress. Foul beasts still stalk the caverns, this we all know, but the fortress itself is free of the filth.
The militia, has they are aptly called, have been exploring the uncharted tunnels that were lost in one of our many exodus from this land. In one of the first tunnels, two trolls were found along with a dwarven skeleton. In some of the other lost regions, we've uncovered catacombs that our home to our honored dead.
The first battle between the troll and the poorly trained militia goes poorly until the Voidgod intervenes. A hammer that none of us can even lift is swung so quickly that it becomes a blur. The clincher, however, is his fist. He strikes a blow so hard that the troll is knocked unconscious.
There is no mercy from our Lord. He is not a deity of love or compassion. Only extermination. He is a true Dwarven god.
The rest of the militia isn't so grand. Prosnorkus is slaughtered by a single goblin swordsman in mere seconds. Two other daemonslaves are cut down as well.
22nd Malachite, Mid-SummerWe rediscovered an old arena deep below the earth.
Like every other part of the underfortress, the place is teaming with goblins and trolls. Krosan falls in the battle for the arena.
In just a few short days, our militia has been cut in half.
On the positive side, many of our ghosts have been entombed and put to rest.
2nd Galena, Late SummerEight fresh migrants arrived. Half of them are drafted into the military and sent to the training room. I do not know if we have the steel to equip them with, but we require their arms non the less.
The corpse stockpile has been enlarged and the order has come down to collect all of our fallen. I fear this is a fools task, as the dead are too numerous to count.
In other news, a potter has been taken by a fey mood and has claimed a craftdwarfs station. After several days, his work leaves us in awe.
As it turns out, the dwarf was taken by AseaHaru, and our fellow dwarf's newfound talents have been put to work in creating bone bolts.
26th Galena, Late SummerAn ambush occurs on the surface. The VoidGod arrives in short order.
His fury is unrestrained. Skulls are crushed with his bare hands, limbs are shattered with his great slade hammer, and goblins are kicked apart.
28th Galena, Late SummerWe had feared the Mad Fool had died. We received a report stating "The Mad Fool has"
However he seems fine. Although he's been standing around doing nothing for some time.
In other news, the training room is finished. Improper armor has lead to many bruises and bloody scrapes. A quick inspection shows we have are sorely lacking in greaves. I've ordered our armorers to remedy this situation immediately.
