1st Granite 243Sibrek comes along to haul Shul-nak's corpse away to his final resting place.
There are all sorts of crops lying withered in the fields. Why is this happening? After questioning a brewer, I found out that our plant stockpiles were full and we were also out of barrels and pots.
In the interim, I made arrangements to redirect some of our plant stocks to a nearby unused stockpile, while ordering the new furnace site tastefully built in glumprong wood to be expanded because magma glass furnaces won't fit in there.
I inspected the refuse stockpiles and to my dismay found goblin and ogre corpses being mixed in there in plain sight! This will drive those unhappy haulers even more out of whack! I made a note to separate out their corpses later and marked the goblin corpses for dumping.
Oh did I mention that
THERE IS NO BOOZE in the fortress!? Save for a scattered few left in abandoned water skins that no one bothers touching. The citizens are getting very irritated and very slow due to the lack of inebriation.
After waking from a romp with giant hamsters, zasit goes to hunt in the caverns.
Meanwhile, Angus has been guilt-ridden for violating a production order by our Duke and is serving a 10 days prison term for it.
9th Granite 243The elves have arrived and... we still don't have any booze to send back to the mountainhome.
13 granite 243Quasar is too busy partying and/or conducting meetings to conduct trade. I just went out and hollered for someone to take up her responsibilities and thankfully Kadol Ableltotot answers the call.
In total, 2382 meals were sent back to the mountainhome.
Tecak forgive my transgressions but I also traded off the seeds that cannot be grown in this accursed climate. They are just taking up our storage space and most of them can't even be cooked or eaten! The elves brought some animals and we added to our livestock another emu, a giant grey parrot, a cougar and a kakapo.
Our cooks have come up with an odd idea, that large rock salt pots will add a distinct flavor to our meals and even preserve them better. I hope they do not use these pots for booze storage.
16th Granite 243The elven represntative from
Lenicamela has arrived. The first booze in quite awhile has been successfully brewed.
Duke Gwolfski entertains our elven guest.
And listens to him blabber about a bunch of stuff we are uninterested in.
He was not amused.
18th Granite 243Kol was struck by some otherworldly inspiration and rushes back into the fortress, claiming a carpenters workshop.
21st Granite 243The animal trainers are proud to report that our War Rhino training program is coming along nicely. They also report that our livestock breeding program is doing very well.
27th granite 2433rd slate 243Everything is fine! Everything is just fine! No need to worry! What is it now?
SHIT.
Spring is already done and I'm a little ways into summer. I need to rush off now, so I'll edit this post when I'm back in about 2 days.
EDIT: re-sized the pictures for added clarity and added some missing screenshots.
