A human kid grew up and was inductedinto the Townwatch to replace Gelu, the girl the Townwatch Commander had beaten todeath the month before. I assigned him to make mechanisims and work in the forges to pick up the slack our jack-of-fuckall woodworker/mechanic/furnace girl/metalsmith Tal. I have no godly idea how she's managed to juggle all those different jobs, but she's done well so I left them active. the only things being neglected are the irrigation pumps.
However, instead of doing things as I intended, this kid has been doing solo drills in the townwatch barracks, stopping only to eat, drink, and sleep. He's socially retarded, becomes useless under stress, hates helping people, and doesn't like doing more than what he needs to. And yet he's been training alone in the damn watch barracks for three weeks now. He's only just started his secondary job of making stone furiture. Three weeks after he was supposed to. I'm also expecting goblins any day now, since they last sent an ambush a couple months ago, heralded by snatchers. Likewise, a few snatchers have shown up, and all but one had been promptly cut to ribbons. One got stepped on by Bugi the title'd axelady. She didn't take kindly to a goblin staring up her skirt. The goblin got his skull smashed and then he was decapitated after she chopped both his legs off. Two others got themselves trapped in the trash area, mauling a cat out of panic (it's fine though. Just broke a leg.) And in thier attempt to run when I opened the doors leading inside, they met three axelords. There was a minor argument, and in the exchange several goblin bits flew about.
But I know they're coming. Just a matter of time. I hope the caravan from home beats them here...
