The caravan guards keep running outside, doing sprints up the length of my depot access road, and then coming back.  Not sure what's up with that.  All it's doing is causing them to track through the revolting filth and then pass out from pain.  There's nothing dangerous outside aside from a flock of emus that are doing a conga line into my cage traps for taming.

Despite the Terrifying biome, it doesn't reanimate, which is a nice change of pace.  Currently training up a militia to reclaim the second cavern from a solid salt FB.  Only a poisonous sting, so if someone lands a solid hit first we should score a clean victory.  Working on steel armor anyways, so it should be fairly easy.

Those marksdwarves danger roomed into hammerlords i mentioned earlier? def not a face palm. they happened to be on a rino hunting trip when a siege started. destroyed 2 full squads of gobs (mace/lasher) plus several trolls before finally being killed. routed the full siege in under 10 mins. now i gotta danger room all my marksdwarves!!! it was awesome seeing them dodge and block everything till at least 3 or 4 gobs finally surrounded each one while the others where pelting them bolts!

Embarked on a half Joyous/half Terrifying 3x3 square. It was pretty interesting until a unicorn from the joyous half got killed in the reanimating evil part, came back to life, and killed quite a few dwarves.

A stray kitten just bled to death in the food stockpile for no discernible reason.

What.

I really wish the main staircase wasn't carved out of cinnabar right next to the magma channels...it's led to one too many double-takes so far.

"Jeezus, Urist, the rats must be getting huge around here!"

Started a new volcano fort, only to meet a werepangolin's lair.  Cue one of my miners gashing the werepangolin's head in with the pick (who was a dwarf at the time.)  A shame I lost a dwarf to the lava with preparing the magma forges.  He was given the proper slab for the job, along with the werepangolin, and it got a coffin.  (The miner couldn't get the coffin luxury for obvious reasons.)

Lots of dwarves running up and down stairs in Weatherspear!   

Underworld work proceeds slowly.   Some walls are up, but a few dwarves are now on the invalid or dead list.  One had his foot torn off by a demon - which might had saved him since the same attack involved a poisonous bite as well.  And a dwarven child out where he should not have been was hit by webs and pushed into a deep chasm.  This looks to be a long project that might run up a long casualty list unless additional security steps are taken.

We also arranged for an elven caravan to take an alternative exit after trading   

However, none of the lurking denizens of the area were about to interfere with their departure.

While work proceeded down below hostile visitors also visited on the surface.   A spring goblin siege was shot to pieces by the marksdwarves, who wiped out two of the three squads that actually attacked (and a fourth goblin squad loitered and then ran.)  With summer three squads of human cavalry have arrived and are camped in the western approaches.  They are being ignored for now, but will be either invited in or driven off shortly.

Just lost two dwarves to a the construction of my high pressure sewage disposal system. I found them against the wall on the other side of where they were working so I can only assume the 'high pressure' part of the system works.

Four beloved dwarves passed away due to old age simultaneously. I am seeing a lot of has been miserable latelies.

Discovered the cause of the mysterious kitten death.  It got some of the revolting filth on it that happened to be of the spontaneous heavy bleeding variety. (There's at least three syndromes on this stuff).  I hadn't worried about this variety much because my livestock stays inside and my genomes are large enough to survive the bleeding, although the weaker ones turn Pale for a bit.

But anyways somehow this kitten must how gotten a smear of it on it and couldn't survive the resultant heavy bleeding.  At least this has made me proactive and I've assigned all mothers with children to an inside burrow since babies are small and syndrome-prone.  The last thing I need is a mechanic having her triplets bleed to death in her arms.  However, how it got the filth on it is still a mystery as it was safely in my food stockpiles and nowhere near the entrance.  Perhaps it decided to head-bump a genome covered in the stuff, who knows.  A decontamination chamber is in order.

That seems to happen often. Sudden Kitten Bleeding Syndrome. SKBS. Same thing happens to me.

And yet again, my fort manages to escape death to tantrum spiral.
After the four natural deaths, 4 more dwarves died. The former king consort was sent to join his wife, with a mean kick that sent his false ribs through his liver. Two dwarves couldn't take the strain, and went melancholy. And finally, one silly dwarf decided to go berserk while standing next to my champion. There were about 50 tantrums next to that, but none of these did any serious harm. A nice touch from the RNG was, when a soldier threw a tantrum while sparring, and attacked his sparring mate for real. A few punches later they went on sparring.
By now, one year after the four natural deaths, everyone is happy again.

I have finally struck flux! Armok be praised! We will be making sweet, sweet steel after all! 

[strongrudder]

Ach, silly, you need flux for steel too! In my very first 40d fort, I had piles of iron and never one stone of flux. It was a sad place for dwarves.
