9th Felsite:
We've struck cobalite, as the miners keep telling me. There's not much down in the initial windmill bedroom access BESIDES cobalite, and Diorite. Sure it looks like ore, but you cant make anything out of it.
We've uncovered a few low value gems (rough rubicelles).
I have decided to scribe down the current layout of the fortress, for future reference.
General Overview:
Farms:
Hippo Swarms:
10th Felsite:
Degel Azinkosoth has announced to the fort that he's a miner...
He's been mining for months now.
I have also dug out a dormitory, which is now nearly smoothed, filled with beds, and adorned with statues, for those dwarves who do not have bedrooms yet (make that everyone, the miners wont finish a level before moving on...)
The bottom has the offices for the manager, bookeeper, and me.
13th Felsite:
In order to speed up bed production, ive had a secondary wood stockpile designated, on the surface, near the back access shaft. It's quite large, and it's where all wood will be delivered. The stockpile has a direct link to the active wood stockpile (that is right next to the carpenters), cutting down on time to haul for the wood cutters, the haulers, and the carpenters.
16th Felsite:
We've struck clear zircon, alexandrite, and Rock Crystal down in the deep stairwells for the barracks
17th Felsite:
An elven caravan has arrived. Time to get the forges pumping, kicking out as many copper spiked balls as possible (those elves love the kinky stuff). I have tasked enolate specifically for this. If he succeeds, he will recieve a promotion, with extra privlidges. His own office, a noble's bedroom, and my personal voice to the fortress. His words would carry much of my weight if he succeeds.
23rd Felsite:
the elves have arrived and are unloading their good, along with the forges running out of charcoal. While i have ordered new charcoal to be created out of the wood, i have also congradulated enolate on the job well done. He is now my personal henchman. He'll get his own room... as soon as we can make and furnish it...
27th Felsite:
We've struck small clusters of blue garnet and black pyrope.
I also saw something that terrified me today. As i was chatting with the elves (who are currently being sprinkled with elf blood), a lungfish bounced out of nowhere, landing at my feet, shrieking, thrashing about, and exploding in a puff of smoke. Keep in mind, im at least 100 feet above the lower river, and about 250 feet away from the waterfall.
I have no idea why it happened, other than it was in the evil biome...
28th Felsite:
That lungfish is now flickering in and out of existence on top of a dense common reed, making a sound that i cannot possibly describe... Have i taken any of those hallucinogens that i gave to the previous leader?
AN: Seriously, i have no idea why it's there, and it's kinda freaking me out.
29th Felsite:
As Ast Oddomthidas is currently juggling the duties of bookkeeper and broker (and cant seem to actually do his broker job), i have given the role to Lor Oddomthidas, a broker by trade, one of the recent immigrants who wasnt worth mentioning until now.
5th Hematite:
Bromrek Eturdesor, a ranger, has been stung by a honey bee... I TOLD him to keep his bees inside that damn room that he made.
On the subject of the previous overseer, what the hell did he TELL the elves
We trade a steel crossbow, the trap components, a few drinks (in rock barrels), and the useless crafts the previous overseer was making for a gargantuan amount of cloth and thread (mostly cloth)
AN: Also, I will be writing more as an evil genius in the future. One of their most underestimated and overlooked qualities is in organization (you dont get an organization of faceless, completely loyal minions without some SERIOUS human resources skills, and keeping them stocked and fed is a logistical nightmare).
