I'm finally designing my magma pumps to power magma forges. Also designed *cold fusion* machine to power everything, using water from the bottom cavern lake (the one, that is actually sitting on top of magma sea).
Early spring some migrants arrived. I turned most of them into haulers since my fort is half-paralyzed with all the workshops *CLT*. One is competent strand extractor, and so is useful now, just when I mined some adamantine. Rest of them drafted.
So when I was waiting for elven caravan I forbade everything outside fortress. Everyspring's festival soon started. This time around 25 goblins (axemen and lashers, + a few human swordsmen) arrived before caravan and promptly killed all elves but a diplomat. Unfortunately all stuff elves were carrying ended up near map edge, far from entrance to my fort, so it wil take a lot of hauler's time to bring it inside. But hey, they brought me Tiger woman herbalist! Novice herbalist and bone setter, but she refuses to do any work .
Surprisingly, my military (22 dwarves) proved to be effective and fend off goblins with just a minor injury to one recruit, who was healed soon. One of militia captains refused to bring his weapon and was bashing goblins with his *iron shield*. Only dwarf casualty is a doctor - I don't know what was he doing outside. Oh, and I lost a bunch of animals, including a few wardogs. Now I got 3 unhappy soldiers. I don't know how to cheer them up, they seem not to eat in legendary dining room, nor notice tastefully arranged statues and splendid bridges and roads on battlefield.

I just breached hell.  Whilst doing this I accidentally hit magma too, and the Magma Sea is draining into hell.  So far nothing has come out of hell, but I have one Adamantine armoured and armed squad waiting.  Not that it will help.

Entrance to my Fort Knifeobscure is a bridge over a ravine.  I channeled some foes into a tunnel below ground level and filled it with water up to 7/7.  Had the darndest time trying to drown them.  So I opened the floodgate that dumps the water into the ravine, and it swept the little dickenses out.  I have a fortification that should prevent that from happening, but there they are in the river at bottom of the ravine, little broken legs from the fall, not drowning and waiting for winter to freeze them.  Which is pretty awesome.  But I want to actually drown some of them next time.

First goblin ambush after a new embark.  Things had been quiet, so I'd managed to set up a small military (3 axes, 6 crossbows), equip them with steel and get them training.  Utterly failed to get the bowdorfs to fire a shot in anger, but the commander of the axe squad singlehandedly obliterated the 5 goblins.  No injuries on our side.  I was proud.

Now a new wave of immigrants has come.  I'll set half of them training for next time.

Just quite liked this engraving.

This is what happened to the last gibberling beasty that attacked Racelash laddy.  Were the mud and ichor stained caverns not sign enough?

The tragic mini-tale of Asom the Leatherworker:

Asom was arrested for failure to produce requested goods by the mayor, and sentenced to 100 days in jail. On the same day he was arrested, he entered a fey mood. "No wait," he pleaded, "I will make something fantastic for the mayor!" But his pleas fell on deaf ears; it was already too late, he had failed the mayor. He was chained in the dungeon, where he died a slow and miserable death from melancholy.

Finally got my Philosopher and Dungeon Keeper, so I've decided that they are going to be a pair of wacky sitcom roommates, and I've decided to force them to share the same bed. Hijinks will ensue, likely.

I had a lovely little goblin siege, with about 15 goblins attacking. Half of them were pummeled by my hilarious system of traps, the other half were devoured by zombie wolves, and the lone crossbowman was like "fuck this" and discretely left after a little deliberation.

Zombie wolves are like my own personal army.

Good sir, I would just like to say I find you hilarious.

I am slowly building a "Screw-the-World" lever. Now if only my miners would stop cavein killing themselves at the mouth of the volcano, maybe, just maybe, I could finish it before the traders leave.

[Internet Kraken]

The "zombie apocalypse" trap is progressing well. Dozens of cages holding zombie lesser kraken, crundles, and trogs have been placed outside and linked to a single lever. The cherry on top is a caged Giant. Hopefully they will spill plenty of goblin blood, enough to convince the goblins that Townbrush isn't worth the effort.

Speaking of goblins, they've begun attacking once again. The Goblin ambushes effortlessly cut down the Elven caravan, but this month the humans caravan guards drove them off. The military isn't in much shape to fight, so this is a good thing. A lot of people are suffering from blisters. Some digger killed a cave blob and now he's dragging cave blob fluid across the fort, spreading infection to everyone.

After about 2 years, finally, some migrants have arrived despite the danger. Refilled my military ranks and things are actually getting done again. Pretty soon it will be time to kick that fb out of my caverns. Both of them.

[Aik]

Least terrifying forgotten beast ever. I haven't had much experience with them so was quite alarmed when it showed up - especially with it being a blob of water. Inorganic forgotten beats are meant to be terrifying, right?
Well, it starts off reasonably well. Kills the mason who was walling us off from the underwater lake by knocking him off into the water. Then it starts making its way up the disused pumpstack. My militia is pitiful, but they move to defend the living area.

Then Urist McThresher bumps into it and kills it with a few punches.

Somewhere out there, a mother kobold is going to have to explain the difference between microcline and clownite to her children.  She'll probably cry herself to sleep that night.

I've been busy locking up new immigrant dwarfs that have been having strange moods, asking for things I have no means of getting! How am I suppose to get sand on top of a mountain?

At least they were friendless, and no one suffered Bad Thoughts at their slow deaths by starvation.
