This is a masterwork dog leather journal owned by Kogan 'NCommander' Kelnakuth. On its covered is adored images of seven dwarfs. The image related to the founding of Scorchedgravel, the last Dwarven settlement.Spring-Summer 551So, good news, bad news, worse news time overseers log:
The good news is my matchmaking is starting to pay off.
With luck, Imic and Gwolfski will marry and start their own families. I've given them plenty of downtime to get to know each other more properly. I'm happy for Imic
even though I kinda liked him ...With luck, dwarven kind will continue and flourish. Perhaps we'll hear the pitter patter of little beards in the near future.
As such, I've had a new hospital laid out, and a cistern for water carved out so we'll be ready for delivery.
Ryukan, finding his occupation as a carpenter rather useless has taken up a pick and started carving as Nix is currently on her honeymoon. Hopefully as our CMD, she'll approve of the new hospital.
Bad news:
We're drowning in turkeys. Since my last entry, two more clutches hatched. We've got so many birds running around that I can't see the floor anymore. We're all working on trying to get them caged and butchered, but I can feel time slowing down being around so many birds.
Course, worse news time.
I wanted to get a better idea of our cavern situation since its likely the only source of wood we'll have for the foreseeable future. As we looked down the tunnel down, we saw this.
We aren't getting into the cavern two any time soon. In good news, the butchering continues at pace, and Scorchgravels turkey population has been greatly curtailed ... right up until the peacocks decided to contribute.
Son of a bitch.
Autumn 551Give and take is very much the theme of this year:
I was wrong, a blind orge took out "Shelly" when no one was looking. A good chunk of the cavern is on fire, but other than that we're OK. Just as I was considering a way to harvest the wood in cavern one, this came along.
So much for that idea. Maybe we can consider cavern 2-
Fuck.
Late Autumn 551We have a buzzard problem.
I have a buzzard solution
Winter 551I want to say the hospital construction is going smoothly. I really do. I'd be lying
Ryukan has been somewhat a disappointment as a miner. I mean yeah, she cleved the stone away, but nearly killed himself twice in the process, and when channelling out the well ... well look ...
At least she hasn't managed to kill herself
Spring 552Hard to believe its been two years. This is starting to become home. No one beside some tentacled horrors below have found us. The halls might be cramped, the miasma might be annoying
But frig, its home. I just hope Imic, Nix, Gwolfski, and Derro come back from their honeymoons soon. Tournesol and Ryukan are fun, but you know, I miss having us all together in the tavern :/
Summer 552Damn, a year and a half honeymoon. I'm impressed. Nix is reporting she's already got a passenger on board too!
