Some kid must have a wierd fixation with bones and whips, as a child was possessed and made a sheepbone whip in Shockedtowns. I've begun a massive deforestation program, and am awaiting 3 girls who are almost twel to draft into the 2nd Company archery squad to deal with those stupid pondgrabbers who disrupted silk collection. Still technically considered undersiege, which sucks ass. No elven caravan, when I needed cloth, no human caravan to provide metals and cloth/leather, and no dwarves to provide cloth leather and finer weapons than we could make here, though Our head weapon maker has made quite an envious masterwork copper swords capable of bisecting goblins in iron armor.
We've run out of things to cook and have probably enough food to last a century with current population. Starting to floor things over, and for no discernable reason, My 16 year old swordgirl Angir was scared to death by a ghostly goblin hammerman! I've begun slabbing everything that isn't memorialized, because she deserved better than that. She was close to becoming a weaponlord too.... A new girl will replace her as soon as one grows up (all the kids close to adulthood are girls for some reason.) Built a catapul battery for no reason, and I plan on making a watch tower near the mill with clear glass windows for the obsdeck (it's a watch tower, not guard tower. I may post the townwatch up there to train from now on.) And If I'm lucky, I may soo become owner of several naked mole dog pups!
