Drunk Overseer is BEST Overseer!
Seconded.
Thirded
Fourthed. And all this fourthing was making me a bit thirsty. Not too thirsty, just a couple drinks with dinner * sorta thing.
I was bored of working, so I decided to enroll in the military. Those executive bastards made me captain of the bronze rights. All alone in my own squad. Meh. It would let me go exploring, and I was already good at cutting things down.
Except that I was put on the force the same moment a monster attacked.
It looked like a man with the head of a beast. Twas none other than a minotaur.
My damn luck.
Actually, my damn luck!
A beast that could tear an ogre limb from limb was torn limb from limb by a dwarf! Well, a god I mean, but I digress.
I decided to use my new position to explore some of the ruins before. More specifically a certain lever that called to me from the darkness. I knew what it was, but not how one got there. Knowledge of the darksecrets of the past dwarves of my dear fort drove me. Pushed me forward.
Having picked up some steel gear and my favorite ax I dived downward like any decent dwarf. Past oceans of boiling stone and water I walzed, and past ghosts and broken dreams I crept, and past the crypt that held a creeping darkness I drove myself deeper.
I wandered into a room. A strange room. Between the deepest depths and the world above. I knew not what it was, but it was surely something.
But I'd come back to that. At the moment discovering new terrain was much more important. I suppose discovering where that lead was also important, but I had time.
I suppose I had time. It took me nearly a month of walking to get to a stairway that everybody knew was already there. BUT WHEN I FINALLY DID get there, I could FINALLY star discovering again.
And what I found. Things no one needs to know existed. Horrible, awesome things. I saw things there that I want to forget.
Of course, now that I had seen them, the entire fortress had an idea how to get there. Hopefully they never would, and hopefully they wouldn't be told to. Two letters. V H. I knew not for what they stood.
I knew what it was, but not its cause. The labels that stood on the mechanics were definitely a thing of death, but for whom? My journey lead me back to the surface, or almost. The surface was walled off, but the enterance was still there.
I went back down.
The thing involved magma and pumps and a large canister, but more know I not.

Shorast has become withdrawn. He's a weirdo anyways. The guy wants to become a jewler! HA. Well good luck to 'em. Not really though. All he made was a perfect rubicelle. Dumbass.
When the humans came in mid Galena, the traders weren't really sure what to trade. Gems, sure, but nobody dare pick up and move any of the troll or voidspawn cages. They'd go for tons of money sure, but if one got loose it could spell disaster in deep red paint.
They didn't have anything good anyways, or so I heard. Some bronze bars for real cheap, which we bought, and some fruit to get the full value out of what we traded. We needed only trade gems, but in moving a cage, a lousman got loose. chek ur hats, doods. he cud b hidin der.
On the first day of autum the miners were all uppity about something. Some new shaft, one that went down real deep. I thought it might have something to do with the strange room, but I warn't sure.
There was a lack of flux stone. No steelwork was getting done. They fixed that up right quick and discovered an old tunnel in the process.
Hm. I'm not sure what to write in my journal. This year has been rather uneventful. A new kid was born today. Hopefully he'll die soon. I hate kids.
And so started sandstone...
Drinking had nothing to do with being a drunk overseer. I just enjoy drinking when I get home, and on vacation that's pretty much all the time.
Weren't too many pictures, but really nothing happened. Exploring around with Thorkild as a single military unit was fun, because there's some really useful things down there. I started my own secret plans after seeing the things that others before me had made. I don't know. I gotta get up early tomorrow. I probably would have finished it all tonight if I had time.
