This is my prologue, a generalization of the major parts of the fort before I begin.with my personal character intro added in.
Malchite, 1st 131Sir- Uglycrusher
Today we have set out for the new fort.. Apparently it was named Authoredmountains because it was a mining expedition, they planned to masterfully carve out and engrave a mine into the mountain, but..
It was renamed Murderpaddles, something to do with a siege, a river and some goblins..? Im not quite sure on the details but what I do know is I was sent to lead it now in mid summer as a military fort, I have until spring to learn the fortress and its people and take charge, with my 3 kids, 3 other orphans, and 2 guards. I wish I could have picked out my companions myself.. but dire times in the mountain-homes has left me with this.. at least my two guards are quite attractive. All the women from my town have longer beards than the men.
Malchite, 3rd, 131
Some migrants arrived.
9 dwarves, six of them kids.
They're all probably vampires.

Malchite, 3rd 131-Uglycrusher
We have arrived at the fort.. This place is a nuthouse. It is lead by some paranoid noble going on about his essence or something.. He didn't even welcome us he just keeps telling everyone to watch out because we might be vampires here to kill them all.. I've tried telling him I am here to take over as his successor. There was supposed to be a liaison to inform him last autumn.. well I guess I will just familiarize myself with the place in the meantime.

Galena, 5th, 131-Uglycrusher
Our overseer still hasn't seen a meeting with me.. He is going on about all kinds of conspiracies, and someone just withdrew from society last month. I assume they just couldn't take the madness.. I also just heard that the overseer has assigned a dwarf to be our doctor which I agree with.. we do need doctors.. but the location of the doctor office is 150 Z-levels below the hospital...
Galena, 15th, 131-Uglycrusher
A siege has begun.. I fear for my life.. There are countless reasons.. Well im off to
HIDE AND COWER IN FEAR help the women children and weak get inside..
Limestone, 5th, 131
Trying to keep this building fortified is almost impossible. There are so many exits and entrances, this place is built like the Swiss cheese that these goblins wish to deprive me of! Seriously, if these monsters were a bit more clever they could probably swarm us through the many defenseless passages that lead outside.
Yes.
Still freakin swiss cheese.
Limestone, 5th, 131-Uglycrusher
I hear things are going good on the surface. Im not sure how accurate that report is, we heard a cave-in a couple days ago, and there are a few missing.
Limestone, 8th, 131-Uglycrusher
The siege has ended. Im sad to report that the graveyard needs to be expanded, but i take it that wont be done anytime soon the overseer is more focused on tombs for the nobles. Nevertheless there are many other more dire improvements needed first.
Graveyard --V
Sandstone, 5th, 131
I have begun placing notes for my successors, filled with ideas and instructions to assist with running the fort for when (not if) someone performs some form of coup.

Sandstone, 6th, 131-Uglycrusher
Recently I approve of everything that has been going on around here. Which is a bit odd. A massive beast of unknown origin has come and was slain, it took two recruits with it, and the overseer has recruited more and placed traps around.
In other news I have seen the overseer placing notes around titled "Note to future overseers"... Somewhat frustrating I assume he doesn't know I have been here looking for a meeting with him. Well ill just give up on meeting with him these notes and the contents of his desk when he resigns should suffice.. I don't really trust the gibberish he may say anyways. Plus these notes may help one day when I resign.
Timber, 6th, 131-Uglycrusher
Its been quiet.. I have had a lot of free time so I decided to takeover the medical office in the basement until my term, then I will designate a few office for all the positions that request one.
For now I will just be sitting in my office drinking some beer, looking over some reports and sketches of the fort that I found.
*mumbling* The economy is doing pretty good. *mumbling*
*mumbling* The bedrooms are unfinished. *mumbling*
*mumbling* The first layer of caves have some nice defenses. *mumbling*
No other cave levels have defenses..
Timber, 15th, 131
OH GOD NO, I SEE THE MOUNTAINHOME'S FLAG ON THE HORIZON!
THEY HAVE COME TO TAKE ME AWAY! TO FINISH ME OFF!
Unless... Hmmm.
I shall have to finish THEM first!
Oh yeah, also the snail is still fucking around in the flooded caverns.

Timber, 19th, 131
ANOTHER FUCKING GOBLIN SIEGE
FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKITY FUCK FUCK FUCK MOTHER FUCKING MOTHER OF GOD IN A FUCKING SHIT LARKITY MOTHERFUCKITY FUCK!
It's okay. We can kill the snail, the caravan, and the goblins.
This will all be fine.
No it won't.
Fuck.

Timber, 20th, 131-Uglycrusher
Apparently there is a siege going on, there are some strategies and precautions that our forces should think about but, my reporter said it was only a small squad of goblins anyways nothing our archers cant handle. I have given up on putting in my input I feel safe in my office so I will stay here for the siege. With my beer.
Timber, 25th, 131
All of our military is dead, except for three archers.
[END OF AUTUMN.]
Hey, I'm really sorry, and I feel like a complete asshole, but I won't be able to finish my turn. I won't have time to play for a bit, and it would probably be best for everyone if I just gave back the save. Once I have a more stable schedule, maybe I'll take another turn but until then; http://puu.sh/87z8D
Moonstone 1st 131-UglycrusherI was woken this morning to find that the overseer has left. No one knows what happened. Some reports say he ran into the dungeons mumbling about stables and turning the schedule or something.. others say hes hiding in the fort, and some say he was talking about how the goblins were here for his essence and he ran through the siege towards the mountain-homes.. These are all speculations but we have no time to wonder. I am in charge now and it is time to act. I have spent way to much time writing in my journal I should get some reports. Dammit im still writing... AHH.. ...
Oh Armok NO!
(We now only have two archers left)
Our defense the swiss cheese!
*Upstairs has an archer overlook with no ceiling where shortly after I unpaused the 3rd marks-dwarf was slaughtered by a goblin hammerer that was standing above him, which I didn't know was even possible.*
And the goblin siegers at our door (first image is one that made it inside)
WHO LEFT THE DOOR OPEN!
There are also a few zombies here and there.. eh..
and thankfully the Snail is nowhere to be found. Lets hope thats a good thing
Now its time to play
