4th Hematite
Another... Another has fallen into secrecy to full fill his Dreams... Tsk Tsk Tsk... If this one falls insane as the other one did, we will be having another accident.
He claims the crafts workshop. Probably going to make something worthless.
9th Hematite
...It seems he found all he needed. Surprisingly we have all what he needed.
Obsidian, Rose Qaurtz, Adventurines, cut green glass gems, hematite, fish bones of all things... even the leather is pathetic coming from small animals of no worth.
11th Hematite
*sigh* more proof that our Mayor isnt too bright. Violation of Production order. Injured Party: Mayor. Victim: Ezum the Axedwarf. If she wasnt always surronded by others I would have dealt with her personally.
13th Hematite
He has finished. An obsidian amulet was created. Something worthless was created... as always
ah well, the others will praise him.
17th Hematite
The humans have arrived. Tall they may be like elves. At least they are not treehuggers. They have come with their Merchant Baron. He seeks an audience with the trade minister.
THIEVES. Thieves dare try to steal what belongs to this fortress? They will be dealt with harshly.
18th Hematite
AT LAST! My time for retribution has arrived. I will now go and end this. She will not know what will be coming.
Slowly short_dwarf creeps out of his room. He peers into hall. Seeing no one he sneaks across into the room next door. Slowly opening and closing the door as to make no noise. The room was a dining room. Sofly he walks into a study finding the door wide open. He stands there until he finds what he was looking for. The bedroom door. Smiling he reflects on how he told the dwarf who placed the door to put it in backwards. He quickly bolts the door shut making a loud click noise. Iden wakes with a start.
"Wha..?" Iden starts. A low chuckling is heard from outside her door. "Whos there?" she demands. She runs up to the door to find it locked. She searches for the lock on the door only to find that then door has been reversed. "But how?..." Slowly she recognizes the sound of the chuckling.
"I have won dear Iden," short_dwarf says, "I have won and and I have ended this." short_dwarf turns around and walks away laughing. A laughter with a touch of insanity.
"NO!" Iden screams from behind the door, "NO! Let me out!" Tears slowly begin to drip down from her eyes. Her voice starts to quiver more and more as she continued to scream. Until she finally falls silent in wait of her death.
My retribution has started. A month to pass and I will have ended it. I will find a way to dispose of her body after she is found dead. Only then will I finally be content.
25th Hematite
Food has been falling rapidly. The current order of how things are run regarding food is not efficient enough to sustain a fortress of this size. I immdeatly set a new set of orders that should be effiecent to sustain this fortress. Farmers were to focus purely on their certain job. I enlisted others who are not needed in there current profession to farming where we need more. I noticed a long string of animals that were tagged as to be bucthered. It seems whoever did that isnt exactly right in the head as there were no butcher shops to butcher the animals. I had an area dug out specifically so that the stenc doesnt bother others, the I could care less. I had dwarves concentrate their focus also on brewing and cooking and fishing so that we could increase our food stocks even faster. The food and drinks from the Humans may barely be passed as edible, but it was better then vermin. Even with the new food orders four have still died of starvation.
7th Galena
short_dwarf was on his way to inspect the forge and smelters. But really all he ws interested in was on how his tomb was doing. It was as he was passing the bridge over the chaasm that he noticed something different about the place. There was a smell. Something similar to blood but with something else. slowly short_dwarf recognizes that something as bat blood.
"Bat blood?" short_dwarf said in confusion. He turns around and notices a lumb on the ground off to his left. Moving closer he takes a look at the lump on the ground. His face grew pale. The lump and the ground had had giant wings similar to a bat, two clawed short feet, and a blowgun of some sort. "GAURDS!" short_Dwarf hollors, "GAURDS! SET A PERIMETER AROUND THE CHASM!"
As I write now the gaurds and military are rushing towards the chasm. I have found a dead body of a batman. The weapon traps probably only stopped the surprise but they will come never the less.
20th Galena
I had wondered what that lever in the middle of the hall does. I ordered that for someone to flip that switch, but I found no effects. Sighing I had some flip the switch again. This time though... I found what it does.
22nd Galena
I had to tell the gaurds and military to stand down. They have argued that there is nothing coming from the chasm. They believe that one creature as an exile. But I know better. He was a scout.
23rd Galena
At last she has died. Alone, slowly, and painfully. None had gone to her aid. For now I am content.
For now...
