Sorry this took so long, people. I was planning on touching this up before I posted it so it would look better, but I'm four whiskeys into a Christmas Eve party and I don't trust myself to stay away from obscene puns.
Kobolds, Year One (Summer/Autumn/Winter)
Asmoth’s Journal, 5th of Hematite
I’ve gotten Habobi to dig a small well so that we’ll still have access to water even if we get cut off from the river for whatever reason. It should also stop the others from drinking out of the pools of stagnant rainwater lying around. Just because everyone else thinks we’re scum doesn’t mean we have to act the part.
13th of Hematite
We’ve blocked up the path from our cave into the underground caverns. It should prevent evil forces murdering us all.
1st of Malachite
... I didn’t know kingsnakes are amphibious. Perhaps they’re just weird.
10th of MalachiteSome migrants have arrived, bringing with them a honey badger, a honey badger man and a giant honey badger. As a bonus for getting three of a kind, the gods granted us a protector, a young ogre by the name of Habins Enabobim. He’s already taken a liking to one of the migrants, carrying her around like a cubbold would a piece of loot.
13th of MalachiteJenebi, our ogre friend, has been insisting that we build a home for Habins, but we need rock blocks for such a thing. I’ve asked Habobi to try digging some, but he doesn’t think it’s possible with a wooden shovel. We’ll think of something. In the meantime, I’ve sent a few of the migrants fishing. As long as the kingsnakes don’t learn how to swim suddenly, they should be fine.
3rd of GalenaIns Oneldhim, our Doer of Various Things, told me that he wants to start counting our shinies now. I pointed out that we don’t have any shinies, since we haven’t acquired any from people with no further use for them yet, but apparently if he verifies that we have no shinies at the moment, he can extrapolate how many shinies we will have at any given point in the future. I have no understanding of such witchery, so I left him to it.
19th of GalenaSome merchants arrived. One of their guards even killed a bobcat for us. Yum!
4th of LimestoneWe’ve set up a small hospital deeper inside the caves. Well, I say set up. It’s more like I’ve told people where things are eventually going to be set up once we get enough time, presuming we haven’t all been killed.
9th of LimestoneGah! Damn dirty monkeys have invaded our home. They’ve killed the baby toad that the migrants brought with them, which I was hoping would be a good source of poison in the future. Since our military currently numbers one, I have some doubts about if we can drive them off without aid from the merchants.
12th of LimestoneThe langurs have been successfully eradicated, with aid from our merchant friends. Our marshal, Enteba, performed admirably as well, personally killing one of the monkeys. A pair of the langurs managed to slip past her and the merchants, killing some newborn jackrats and one adult, but our giant honey badger savaged both of them. In thanks, we purchased a mate for him from the merchants. Thanks to the langurs, we probably have enough food for quite a while.
20th of LimestoneMore migrants have arrived, bringing a fisher gremlin and another toad with them.
1st of SandstoneOne of the migrants, a pup called Shonobi, has taken over my workshop and is demanding stone. We’ve made a new shovel, and hopefully Habobi will be able to manage to get something with it. If not, we may need to use it to put the pup down.
9th of SandstoneHabobi managed to knock down a few bits of rock, which Shonobi seems to be satisfied with. This has also resulted in a new entrance for our cave, so I’ve had the old one sealed to prevent invaders taking advantage of it.
14th of SandstoneShonobi has created Helpedcontained the Diversion of Competing, a gneiss amulet. A very gneiss amulet indeed, if I may say so.
20th of SandstoneThe carpenters have begun creating a fence around the cave to ward off attackers and monkeys. Mostly monkeys, to be honest. Any of the big races that want to get in and kill us will probably just set fire to the fence, but it’s better than nothing, I hope.
13th of TimberWe can probably ensure self sufficiency in food at this point, but I worry about what will happen should the river freeze over. It may be worth re-opening the caverns if this happens, though we could probably survive by juicing some plants instead.
26th of TimberIns, our hoardcounter, tells me that he’s finished counting all of our bits and pieces. He seems to have written his results down in a book like this one, though I lack the knowledge to decipher his scratchings.
13th of MoonstoneA damned succubus tried to sneak into camp today and make off with a child. Once she saw we have none, she fled the cave without killing anyone.
14th of OpalA group of leprechauns started hanging around outside the fence, but Enteba managed to kill them all.
1st of ObsidianThe great god Shabo appeared to me in a dream last night. “Asmoth,” he said, “You must learn to become a kick-ass bear.” He vanished before I had time to ask his meaning. I shall have to embark on a spirit quest to discover my purpose.
28th of ObsidianI may be meditating for a long time on my quest for enlightenment, so I have decided to pass the leadership of the cave onto another.
