28th of Obsidian, 1055.
Grateful Elders, we've done to next spring. There were some incidents, but the Harbour is done, and our builders are working on Deep City's scaffoldings. Meanwhile, glassworkers are making glass components for pumps.
That was quite a project - especially if you remember that goo that covers whole seas surface and causes dizziness. Two of us joined Deep Ones before we finished it, and they made some trouble - all masons were scaried of them sitting on the sea bottom, so I had to keep sending our rangers there again and again.
First one, Cog the woodcrafter, fell into the sea just after he made a chastnut earring called The Divine Aquamarine Versa:
I guess the Call of the Depth was too strong for him.
Second one was LightningFalcon the Ranger who dodged attack of undead dog right into the sea.
So, for a whole time we were building the scaffoldings, they sit there and watched us. So, I had to repeately send the squad there to calm them for a time.
And only when it was almost done, both Cog and Falcon turned and travelled under the sea toward our Inn. That's not the way Deep Ones should behave! Rangers met them abd shot them - Cog is sitill underwater while Falcon's body was placed into graveyard. We'll dive it into Deep City later
And when we did that, Ezum the Bnecarver made this:
A true sign of Deep Ones!
So, now we have to make pumps to uncover the sea bottom and construct the Pyramid there. But I have to leave that to next overseer.
Just a few pics of our current state:
The Deep City (under construction):
The graveyard where dead friends await their Rebirth:
Workshops area and memory hall:
And meeting room. Ghostly Priest of Dagon just battered some animal trainer, but I guess he'll be ok. The slab hasn't been placed yet.
Our numbers grew to 42, and we're doing quite well.
We have dug the way down to warm stones and opened two caverns. Also we've dried the old halls that were flooded by accident.
Things are going well for a small town.
