Troglodytes spotted! (I peed a little when they came charging the bridge I built)
Begin securing lodgings in cavern.
Expand mine shaft...Cog fell to her death...Bad Omen? Or was she
murdered? It seems I found she had an argument with a miner whom went berserk due to an argument right before dieing... I assume she was thrown... So much for my only worshipper of Ad.

A child named "Edzul Walled Death" great...we're doomed.
Began Clearing trees and gathering local jungle flora.
Found Cog's Gaurd Dog waiting by the ledge where she was thrown from... I like to imagine he was mourning her.
AUTUMNGiant Cave Spider...
Olon is dead (Drowned). He was shot by webs and Dodged off the bridge into the subterranean Lake where he drowned... His gaurd dog then murdered the spider as it climbed the cavern walls into our camp, Cave spider roasts ensued.

Built memorial slab to Olon
Rakust dies in Cave-in...with his gaurd dog... I knew it...doomed I say!

WINTERUrdim falls to his death... Or was pushed... Did toady add serial killer dwarves? I don't remember dwarves randomly tripping into pits. No cave in either.

Another Fight/argument breaks out...Onget is thrown into the pit...Rith was also thrown into pit...Cog lays on the bottom of the pit arms and legs mangled. This Is SPARTAAAA!
First birth (Zutthan)
Built a hospital to treat two survivng miners, Astronomer seems most fitted for amatuer medicine... He managed to save "Van Gogh" who broke his ribs in the fight. Cog is hanging on barely. He is a
magnificent bastard :')
