Craftknives
Spring 128
Overseer: "Snackfox"
1st Granite
Hello, I am Snackfox, overseer of Craftknives in the year 128.
I have lived in Craftknives for one year. For that one year, I have been worried about the security of this fortress.
For one, we have but one bridge and a few traps to defend us. We don't even have a roof. This will not do. We must build a roof.
The animal pen is not protected either. I ordered a door and a rotating bridge (to fool-proofedly lock it) to be built.
A few have reported sightings of a ghost. I ordered our mason to build a coffin. This made me realize that we have a giant jack-of-all-trades stockpile in the middle of our main room. This may have been a good idea when the fortress was still new, but it's still there in the third year, when we should have had enough time to build new buildings for each stockpile. This must be fixed. I will build a few new buildings.

Mayor Onshenèzum has been complaining regularly about her room. I decided to build some statues, to shut her up.
The bridge on the first floor didn't seem to have a lever, so I was about to order one built, then I found a lever on the second floor that seemed to be hooked up to it.
13th Granite
Found a note from the previous overseer. Apparently the bridge wasn't actually hooked up to the lever on the second floor. Figures. I promptly ordered it connected to the bridge.
I have realized; we have no proper alcohol stockpile. We must fix this. I have designated a building to be built to store our booze in.
We've run out of wood. Currently ordering trees to be cut.
I'm going to build what I always wanted to build: an enemy-smasher. The way it works is: make a pen, put in a caged goblin, and pull the lever. A bridge will fall, crushing it! A beautiful method of security, am I right? I call it the Cage-Crusher.

Erush Orrunsigun has turned 13, and is now officially an adult. He will become a mechanic; we need more of them. Currently we only have three.
3rd Slate
Migrants! Great, we needed more mouths to feed.
7th Slate
The snow has melted! Finally.
I've built the statues the mayor wanted. Hopefully it'll stop her complaining.
17th Slate
A kid has been possesed! She grabbed some bones from the corpse stockpile and is working with fury.
The ice has melted.
The Cage-Crusher is done. I've done some research, and apparently that's called an "atom smasher". Huh. The lever for it is in the crypt. I need something to test it on.
22nd Slate
The possessed girl created a dog bone spear, apparently called "Brushdrill". I wonder if we could use it for our military.
25th Slate
I accidentally trapped a few dwarves on one side of the river. I'm currently ordering a bridge for them to cross.
Oh, wait, never mind, they're fine. Oops.
Tested the atom smasher on a baby chick. It works better than I thought. I can't wait to use it on some goblin scum.
18th Felsite
The elves have arrived and are unloading their goods.
And then a kobold attacked. Prepare to be crushed, scum!
He escaped, unfortunately.
Okay, the elves arrived with some wood. Good, we needed it. The elves's hippie-ness is finally helping. Never thought this would happen.
23rd Felsite
We don't really have much to give the elves, as most of the stuff we can afford to give them is in wooden containers. If only the idiots would let us sell them wood…
I tried to give them some clothes, but they didn't like that and made us give them a bar of pig iron. Idiots.
26th Felsite
Goblin snatcher! They're unusually active this year. I sent the military out at her. Die, scum!
She escaped! Dammit! How does the scum keep managing that?!
