Dhoors Journal - Fall and winter 15529th LimestoneIt was most uneventful month so far. I mean there's a lot of work being done: crafters, jewelers, armorers all are working hard, but not a single goblin or kobold showed up. So our workers work, our militia is sparring and we are waiting for caravan from Mountainhome. Between spar sessions I've find out that our Prophet kid, Obok Urusonul, is only son of Beirus I, our swordwarf, who died in year 154. I bet his father would be proud!
3rd SandstoneZaerosz said that he really likes the Cottage, but is sligthly worried about beast I've ordered to be chained near his front door. He said, that although they may seem tamed and trained, given the chance those beast will tear any dwarf apart. I guess I'll have to reconsider this before it's to late.
17th SandstonePoor Zaerosz... There's blood everywhere and it looks like this place won't be the same anymore. Maybe things wouldn't end like this if I had listened to him. But now it's to late. Sorry, dude.
It all started when along with dwarven caravan some goblin ambushers showed up.
Ambush was spotted east from Zaerosz cottage and 4 squads where sent to deal with them, hammer, spear and mace dwarves. Before our militia got abovegroung, goblins advanced west and where right next to Zaerosz cottage. That's the place where fight took place. All goblins were slain without casualties but Zaerosz words came true, at least partially. Elk bird and cave crawlers ferociously attacked our militia and were slain.
And now there's a little mess near this once beatiful cottage. I guess we will try to clean it up a little but I don't now how long it'll take. I hope Zaerosz won't hold a grudge, the view on the beach is still awesome.
25th SandstoneThey've sent a liaison. That dwarf annoys me. He's following Houn for days now, bumbling, and I'm afraid it could turn into weeks... I'll go and have some spar sessions and I already feel sorry for the dwarf who will spar with me
4th TimberOur training is really effective and it looks like our blunt weapon wielders are developing skills faster then any other dwarves. Congrats!
29th TimberFinnally that Liaison is gone. Few more days and I would get really mad. And Houn made a trede agreement.
27th MoonstoneAnother quite peaceful month. I've decide that well in the hospital is a must. This time I've consulted our best miners Houn and Vutok and it all ended well. Also I've ordered construction of traction bench and with soap, plaster powder and other stuff we have nice and clean hospital. Icecoon is happy, complained only about the distance from his butchers workshop. We've also extended our food stockpiles.
And I'll have to ask Zaerosz why those milk spiders like our hospital so much...
12th opalDamn goblins, we all now that they steal our children but this one simply stabbed and killed one of the kids with his dagger. And it all happend in the middle of packing up dwarven caravan.
That Goblin Master Thief was quickly killed after that, but I still wonder how he got past dogs, caravan guards and merchants to stab that poor kid.
29th OpalZaerosz and Toll are making progress with cave crawlers. Good job!
15th ObsidianI'm receiving strange reports from our militia. I bet some of them got to much hits in the head during sparring sessions because it doesn't make any sense. Or maybe it's because thay are now training above ground - to much sun.
16th ObsidianEven I had to write one of this stupid reports...
24th ObsidianNext dwarf gets possesed... he also claimed crafts workshop and is running around mumbling something...
30th Obsidian 155It's almost a year. Time to find someone who would take care of the Harvestcoast for now. We are not besieged. Food and booze stocks are full. Pretty good conditions. I think I'll appoint someone who can make our home more smooth and smoothly running?
Snackfox would be best, he's engraver, he has some experience with warhammer and he is we us for 2 years now. I bet he will make it.
There are few things to be taken care of.
First: our steel production stopped - my oversight, we need coal and flux stone to be dug out.
Second: caverns are closed, maybe we should reopen them?
Third: there is a little body on the fortifications in my "trap", please take it down and bury properly.
And few things that make me happy:
Beirus II wounds are no longer infected and his axe skill is without compare, he's best axedwarf in our fortress now!
Several other dwarves are doing well in the training:
And we grow in strength:
Goodluck snackfox!
Two challenges;)
Kill Osta without loosing any dwarves.
Make Houn and Dhoor married couple and let them have children.
