Mini Update: Basically, I've dug out His Gaudiness's new chambers, and set up plans for an irrigation system thing. Otherwise, I'm having a surprisingly calm turn.
I'm waiting to find out the Greater Spawn got in again somehow.
Edit: Larger update!
You see the now-familiar handwriting, slightly slanted and messy, in the same blue-black ink as last time.
Malachite and Galena
Uhg, this is even more difficult than I though. You know that, Winston? Of course...Besides, you are me. Why wouldn’t you know that?!
Anyway, I’m doing it again. We’ve dug out most of His Gaudiness’s POD, which I’ve turned into an acronym meaning “Place Of Desperation.” Because that’s what they are; last-ditch attempts to survive, so that this insane place can live on for a few more years.
But I’m afraid, Winston. They’ve heard me talking to you a few times. They think I’m insane, and I’ve heard talk of locking me out if we use them, because I’m insane. I mean, they can’t have heard of...No. They didn’t. I made sure no one survived that night. There’s no way they heard about the…*you see words here, but they’ve been smeared out and marked through, repeatedly*
So, where was I? Oh yeah. We’ve got His Gaudiness’s POD dug out, and I had them move the farms a little. It was going to be slightly difficult to irrigate the farms through the middle of the dining room, so we moved them off to the side a bit more. I might actually change the design of the original prototype, just to make things a little bit safer, mainly with food. Of course, drowning in plump helmets isn’t good, but it’s better than starving to death.
There’s been two babies born recently; One in Malachite and one in Galena. I hate to think about what they’re going to grow up in. I hope the greater spawn up above us either die soon or decide to wander off. Preferably in the direction of the banshees, but whatever. Just so long as they go away.
There’s been a few attacks recently. A group of Goblins, or at least that’s what we think they are from the screams. A tiny group of Banshees too, but they were shredded. We only knew they were Banshees by the high, painful screams.
There was also an...unfortunate group of peasants that showed up about a week ago. I won’t even start to describe that one. Their screams still echo through these halls, literally. People have been seeing ghosts ever since the screams stopped. I guess that’s just one more thing for the masons and engravers to take care of. And the poor caravan that came right after; I think they might have been humans, but I couldn’t really tell over the sounds of their horse being torn apart.
The dining halls been going nicely. I told them to line one of the walls with statues, except for any doors they found, and so it was done. That should make everyone happier, at least for a little while. Oh, and I ordered the Foundries to make gold furniture for His Gaudiness’s POD. Armok knows we have too much of the stuff as it is; I don’t think anyone will argue with me.
Again, comments? Opinions? Generally, feel free to sit there and pick it apart word for word, or just quickly scan it, either way, feedback. Feedback is good.
