Diary of Gomathuleng Febbomrek (Legendlost Arrowwhip)19th Obsidian The world hates success. The mountain gnomes are raiding our fortress. They have already got one keg of dwarven wine, and would drink all of it given a chance. Shadowhammer lead the charge to drive away the thieving creatures.
When that failed, I simply shut the fortress down until the gnomes left.
1st Granite Spring finally arrived today. The ponds had ben thawed for a long time now, but the weather finally warmed up, and the constant, unbearable snow has turned into constant, unbearable rain.
3rd Granite I decided to stop the production of useless trinkets, as any caravans we will meet we must kill in order to stop the constant betrayal and disrespect.
24th Granite More migrants arrived, I ordered Shadowhammer to guard the entrance in case these migrants turn out to be in line with the gnomes and outsiders. The world is aligned against us, it seems. Migrants are accepted as free labour and because they are no longer outsiders if they become one of us. Because we are so outnumbered, we will take any additional help we can get.
However, we need to be wary of spies in our ranks. Someone is telling the outside world all about us, and we need to stop them. I must be ready for another attack at all times.
Among the 20 migrants, there is
One engraver,
One animal dissector,
One presser,
One fish cleaner,
Two bone carvers,
Two fishery workers,
One farmer,
One armorer,
Two blacksmiths,
One brewer,
One animal caretaker,
One ranger,
One animal trainer,
One useless potter,
One fish dissector,
And one woodcrafter
A human arrived, buck naked, and on foot. I assumed he must be a spy, so I ordered Shadowhammer to take him in for questioning. He ran away as soon as being spotted.
4th Slate I was informed today that some of the new migrants were just idling around in the dining room, wasting good food and beer. I ordered them to begin engraving our fortress or leave. They scurried away, chisels in hand. I think our fortress has a discipline problem. Only the laziest of dwarves need to be told exactly what they need to do by their supreme leader. They knew what they were doing was wrong, because they scurried away quickly, fearing my wrath. Although it might have something to do with the fact that I was covered head to toe in blood from butchering some cats.
11th Slate Benenviento came to me with a proposal. He said that if I could release him from his other duties, he could command the construction of the fortifications to keep outsiders that would mean disrespect out of this glorious fortress. I agreed with him. Dwarves with initiative go far in this fortress.
After my conference with Benenviento, I put in an order for fifty more rooms to be dug out for the new dwarves.
21st Slate Kirost Roldethlimul, a blacksmith, had been acting suspiciously recently. When I questioned him about it, he only muttered something about needing a forge to work on his precious. Since we had needed a forge built, anyway, I had one built. He ran over to the forge, peed on it, and went to collect some supplies. He took a single bismuth bronze bar, the only metal bar that we had, and some camel bones, and got to work.
3rd Felstite He created a statue that he called Bekomumsiz Thusest Adril, or Springsizzled the fury of weavers. I think that it will look good in my bedroom, crazy name or not.
6th Felstite Benenviento began work on the fortifications today. He is planning to build cover for our archers to shoot from
15th Felstite The elves come today, undoubtedly trying to steal our wealth through 'trade' when they should be giving tribute. Ahh, well, we will have their goods regardless. I ordered Shadowhammer to kill them once they set up their goods.
20th Felstite When it was time, Shadowhammer slaughtered them one by one with his pick. The fools didn't even try to fight back. I wish they had. It would have made a better show.
28th Felstite I have started laying out my secret plans for the next caravan. I have made sure no thief or spy will be able to find out what they are until it is too late.
1st Malachite With the nearing caravan, all other projects have been cancelled in order to get my plan in place. They will pay for their insubordination, they will all pay!
11th Malachite More dwarves have decided to make the journey to the gloriousness that is this fortress. We must be weary of spies, this close to finishing the secret project, but all of them seem to be who they say they are.
Amoung them, there is
A metalsmith,
A herbalist,
A farmer,
A fish cleaner,
A fishery worker,
and a bone carver
I spoke to the bone carver in secret today, about my plan to pave the ground with the bones of my foes. He said that it was a very bad idea, something about it being unsanitary, whatever that means.
7th Galena Today is a joyous day. Today marks the day of the first birth in this glorious fortress. Raskut and Meme are the parents of this lucky child.
14th Galena A human caravan has arrived. The thieving animals arrived before our trap was ready, so I ordered a trade depot built quickly
22nd Galena A makeshift depot was thrown together for the humans. My plan is to dig out under the depot, and cause a cave in, hopefully killing them.
23rd Galena Today is a tragedy, Meme's daughter was taken by a goblin snatcher while we were distracted by the humans. The outsiders are clearly working together, now.
4th Limestone Today, we got our revenge. We dropped them down two stories, then while they were dazed and unconscious, we stripped them naked and took their supplies, then left them out in the wild, to make their way back home without weapons or supplies.
16th Limestone In a tragic turn of events, involving incompetence and laziness, we are now out of alcohol. I have ordered barrels built and drinks brewed, but it might not be enough. I might not last until then
28th Limestone Finally. The trap is set. anyone who uses the trade depot can be drowned at the flick of a lever.
One lever fills, One lever empties. It's a simple concept, but beautiful. So... beautiful.
3rd Sandstone Today, Sigun Idoklor was taken by a fey mood. He claimed a craftdwarfs' shop.
4th Sandstone More migrants came to this beautiful fortress.
Amoung them, there is
A ranger,
A pump operator,
A farmer,
A miner, who will make substantially easier for the other miners,
and a cheese maker, who makes cheese.
11th Sandstone One of the miners spotted a were panda. I ordered everyone inside and closed the gates. We are going to wait until he transforms into his other, weaker form, and kill him.
13th Sandstone The were panda morphed into a kolbold, of all things. He ran away after being shot in the head.
17th Sandstone The mountain gnomes dared to attack again today. They stole Shadowhammer's keg of ale, right before his eyes. Filled with rage, he slaughtered each and every one of them with his pick. Afterwords, he admitted to not remembering anything other than the blinding rage.
Apparently unperturbed by the carnage, Singun created a tetrahedite toy boat
I'm not sure how he got the sperm whale leather
16th Timber The dwarven caravan arrived today. Showing a severe lack of foresight, they set up in the trapped depot.
26th Timber A goblin snatcher arrived today, quite clearly making a deal with the merchants against us. This was the last straw, and I ordered the merchants drowned.
Sadly, some escaped with their lives
I made sure they won't next time
