Another giant toad in the caverns, attacking and killing Kubuk the farmer. The army was sent after it the second it was spotted in the region, but decided to hide for much of the fight, only emerging after "Paddlewind" had killed Kubuk. It took the arrival of the Ochre Enchanters before it was even really attacked (Before then the only damage was from stone fall traps, the farmer and a single fired bolt), and then it was killed in seconds.

The curse of the Wareiguana has reemerged from the goblin, after Minkot the Ranger, Id the Administrator and Ezum the Fisherdwarf turned into more of the unholy creatures. All three turned in the hospital, and the army has been sent. According to the few records found on the subject in engravings, statues and papers, this can happen when the creatures powers are passed into others via wounds. In future we should keep those hurt by one in seclusion to see if they are infected. I suggest that in future the injured are kept in cells.
In other news, the fight. Even before the military had a chance to attack one of the monsters died, as Minkot was torn apart by the others in their hunger, before they turned onto Goden, who was still in the hospital from their wounds from the croc months before. When the military arrived their vengeance was swift, as what was Id was struck down by our mayor, even as the rest of the military and the dogs of the fortress fell upon what was the fisher. From what we can tell in the blood covered hall, the fisher was finally killed by loss of blood while one of the dogs was holding onto one of its arms. I advise the next overseer to have Tekkud Netshot, Bomrek Lancedyearling and Atos Aorcrafted placed in individual cells, their doors locked and the area guarded. Although, perhaps that can be done after the doctors take care of the basic wounds on their bodies. Bomrek Lancedyearling in particular needs medical attention.

We got reports about miasma in the living areas today. Turns out that Nil the Carpenter has stashed some cheese in his room and let it rot.

We appear to have captured a breeding pair of Elk Birds. Interesting. Also, there seems to be someones rotting body part in the dining hall, of all places.

Winter solace today, celebrated seeming only by Flabort, who created a stew from salmon, cave fish and donkey cheese for it.

Well, there is a flock of elk birds at our walls in the caverns, many trapped in cages. Both squads have been sent down to kill the remainder.

I fear I may have doomed us. By sending the military to the caverns there was noone near the hospital, and Bomrek Lancedyearling was indeed infected, having turned today. I have ordered both squads to the surface, but I fear that they will not get there in time. I now question the decision not to place hatch covers on the stairwell leading into our home, but alas, it is toolate for such thoughts, we must only hope that the military get there in time to assist the war animals in the killing. We also must pray to whatever deities there are that Olon Pickscaled survives, for the death of this one year old boy born here would be a great blow. I know that I will play to my deities... But such requests seem to have fallen on deaf ears, as both the boy and Morul Diamondsecrets have been killed, with the toll rising steadily. But the monster finally died, blood loss sapping its life away, the last seen hit being from none other than the fortress Gelder, finally makeing up for his cowardly reactions to the animals he occasionally aggravated during his work. The monster is dead, having killed four, three of them being children. May the gods bless the spirits of Mebzuth, Nish and Olon.
In other news, the river is one again flowing, and atleast one person has already used it to test the soap.

The year is done, and I am no longer Overseer. I am glad for this, as my mistakes have been many and the deaths more than I could wish. Still, I am proud of my accomplishments, we all have warm beds and enclosed rooms, far from the harshness of the wind and rain. We have a grand hall to eat in, rooms of statues to admire, and our fortress produces more goods than ever before. I hope the next overseer is more kind to the one hundred and twelve souls in the fortress.

I dont know who was injured in the last attack, I frankly had no idea the guy would turn so fast, we really want to cut down on the number of random animals, We have about six elk birds, and good luck with the mine cart trackage. I just havd the areas designated to be dug, I hope you dont die designating the tracks to be built. Also, save will be uploaded shortly, check this post for a link when its done. Over to you Wiz!
