1st GraniteMephanstras continues: "I'm handing over leadership of this fortress to Cptn, effective immediately."
Shakerag points out that Cptn is suffering from a partial lack of consciousness and can't currently lead the fort. Mephanstras's second choice, 4maskwolf, seems to be suffering from the same thing. Mephanstras eventually chooses TheDarkStar as the new overseer.
2nd GraniteTheDarkStar looks over the fort, having been too busy mining in previous years to get a good idea of what's going on. She
(note for future overseers: if I die, redwarf me as a male dwarf please) sees that the crannog desperately needs work done on it. There's also an unfortunate lack of lava or other destruction.
Later that day:
Kobolds! How could they have known that the fort was too occupied with a management change to notice them? There's obviously a network of traitors somewhere. Speaking of which, there's no execution room for
useless cheesemakers traitors.
4 GraniteA child! Also, more work started on the crannog:
First floor of the execution room (the area to the right):
9 GraniteThe elves has arrived! TheDarkStar tells Toaster to wake up. Toaster keeps sleeping.
18 GraniteToaster is finally here to trade despite complaints. "We offer crafts of the finest dwarven quality. Take this barrel of them and we'll buy your cheap goods at a massive profit for you!"
Things are going well until the elf trader realizes something. The goods are in a
wood barrel. The elves immediately get offended and try to leave. The military refuses to kill them, so the gate is opened and they leave.
26 GraniteWhile mining, the dwarves dug into the cave system right next to a fire-breathing forgotten beast.
27 Granite'The Giantess Child Islas has come!" Great.
26 Granite - 2 SlateMany brave dwarves have died, burned to death by the rampaging forgotten beast. Who ordered the dwarves to dig in that place at that time? The killer from last year seems to still be around.
Zulban, Dwarven Miner (Town) has been found dead!Kulat, Dwarven Miner (Town) has died!Radio Controlled, Dwarven Miner (Town) has died!Zan, Baron of Princemines, has died!Mebzuth, Dwarven Miner (Town) has died!Kivesh, Dwarven Child (Town) has died!Thikut, Dwarven Baby (Town) has died!Goden, Dwarven Engraver (Town) has died!Bembul, Dwarven Craftsdwarf (Town) has died!pisskop, Dwarven Planter (Town) has died!Jim Groovester was promoted to militia captain to fill the vacancy.
On the other hand, the giant did not kill or maim anyone.
3 SlateTheDarkStar talks to Toaster: "More migrants. Haven't they heard about all of the murders here?"
"The lure of gold is stronger than that. As long as we have gold, they will come."
Anyone want to be (re)dwarfed?
