Why did it have to be dogs and spiders? I've been stuck inside, because apparently the centaurs have gotten aggressive enough that we've no other choice than to hunker down and work inside. They've had me training animals to guard us, and while the spiders aren't too bad, the dogs have been, besides a reminder of the unpleasantness I went through back home, they've been nearly untrainable. I'm so exhausted I really have nothing more to say, other than the fact that Dhoor has killed a few of the centaurs. That's all for now.

What a year this has been! I've had a whole lot of experiences, and the whole thing has reminded me a bit too much about my life before I came out here, so I decided to wait until after the New Years celebration, hoping a New Year's drink or three would clear my head. So here it is, and this will be quick, but my head hurts too much to write much more. The centaurs left, and some elves showed up kitted out for trade. They haven't left yet, so I assume they think they're camping or something. They look a little loony, and the betting has already started about when they're going to snap. My plump helmets say they'll last about another year, but who knows?
The goblins showed up, and we've lost 2 children, along with Udib, Lokum, And Edem, at their hands. I was present at the largest battle, and I saw Udib fall, but all I was able to do was ping some bolts at the gobbos. I'm glad of this, because I was feeling dangerously close to an "episode", and getting anywhere closer might have brought one on.
An immense amount of excavation has occurred, audible from all over the fort, and I can only say that my brain admires the overseer's industrious conduct, even if my ears don't. Unfortunately, the large amount of empty passages has played straight into the hands of a pair of bloodsuckers who took the opportunity to suck three citizens dry. They were found and eradicated, just like Louse Men deal with sick members of their tribes. I admire the goal if not the conduct of these executions. I think I've already talked about my thoughts on that.
Finally, we've killed a werebear, set up a real militia, traded with the humans, and grown to become a real fortress with 70 dwarves and dwarflings. We've also captured a great number of animal people, and I wonder if they could be convinced of the greatness of Dwarfdom, while still retaining their honorable spirit. I will try myself to bring them to the glory of Armok. I haven't had to deal with my problem recently, and am beginning to hope this is the start of my redemption. I may yet see Armok's halls.
Sorry that's so ridiculously long, I started and just had too much to say. That's some really nice art Houn!
EDIT: It's a lot shorter than I thought, not so "ridiculously long" at all.
