Diary of Reg Dedukmishos, mayor of Murderpaddles (Renamed as such a few days ago, when it was considered that Authoredmountains was too sweet of a name for such a degrading colony...)First of Moonstone, year 131 :I do not know what to do anymore : Our army has been decimated to the point that I think it will take years to decently reform it (Not that six men was enough to be counted as a "decent" army at first...), our economy is almost literally brain dead and, soon enough, the entire fortress will be overrun by either goblin or miasma, both leaving the bodies of their victims behind... I'm generally a compassionate Dwarf, but really : WHAT WAS THIS FOOLISH PSYCHOPATH THINKING!?...
*Sigh*... And yet, I can still say that I'm quite content; Thanks to my social awkwardness, I never had any real friend (Without, of course, counting my delicious but absent wife...), which means that, on the contrary of some of my peers who are now decimated by the lost of their loved one, I'm still living my life without the burden of grief...
But let's stop talking (Should I say writing when it's in my journal?) about my personal life and get to what really matters : The administration of this hellho- I mean, colony.
Before I do anything else, here's the fort's general stocks and wealth, as reported by Alath, my trusted manager and bookkeeper :
Our situation seemed critical (As if things could be worse...), but as I watched the numbers in horror, Alath managed to save me from depression by telling me that already cooked and prepared meals were not on the general list (Which is stupid, but who am I to criticize the old Dwarven way?), but rather in the full book. After a quick verification, I was relieved to learn that we still had a rather massive amount of ready-to-be-eaten food and an not-as-massive amount of ingredients, which meant that the first phase of the operation "Airtight Eden" could be launched...
Classified Material : Operation "Airtight Eden" :
"Airtight Eden" was a secret plan developed by the various Noble of Authoredmountains (Now known as Murderpaddes") which consisted in making an hermetic chamber filled with exceptional goods and an extremely massive amount of food and alcohol. In a period of crisis, two children of opposite sex would be sealed inside the room, only to wait for the survivor of the crisis and/or a new immigration wave to come and open the chamber.
I ordered the destruction of a wall; It may seem odd, but it will allow some of our dwarves to get back inside. In the meanwhile, I am waiting for our miners to dig the airtight chamber, which will permit the fortress to survive endlessly if my plan work as intended...
Huh? Why is that giant toad inside the colony?... THE INVADERS ARE INSIDE THE FORT!

Diary of Tulon Mebzuthèrith, mayor by Interim of MurderpaddlesFifth of Opal, year 131 :Report of the recent (And still going on) attack : The Goblins are finally dead; I would rejoice if we had not another task at hand : Killing the Law-Giver. The battle of our conscript against the beast has started weeks ago : How can this Demon be still alive?!
ANOTHER OF THESE FORSAKEN BEAST? What brought it here? The smell of blood? The children's cries? The will to end our suffering as soon as possible?... We're finished
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry if it's short as a first update : I was rather surprised by most event (Goddamn invaders...)
Also, please excuse me for the evident lack of screenshot, I'll do better next update, which should be done tomorrow (With the hope that this fortress will survive the arrival of another beast...)
