Yeah, Sandono died and everyone's pissed off. The only happy one is Kira with all her fucking cats.

My cats! No wonder I'm miserable.
And I still want them all butchered.

[Squeegy]

Grul killed one of the cats. I'm also killing off kittens as they come up.

The fortress seems to be recovering. The most unhappy person is Vetehenin and he's quite content. Work on the tower has increased greatly. The first floor will be finished soon.

We will properly bury Sandono soon.

Edit: Horrors! It appears the elephants have turned savage! They nearly killed Grul while he was eating after sneaking through the fortress and, for some reason, not touching anyone else. Grul was our glassmaker and hunter. Could this be a warning to leave, stop hunting and stop work on the tower?

Edit 2: Tremendous progress! The entire first floor is laid out. Also, we have no migrants. This is troubling.

Bumpeth.

[Scorpios]

No migrants? How far in is it?

Early Autumn, 1053

[Sandono]

Damn!

And I was loving my work to.

Well when/if immigrants show up please name one Sandono, give them the same dutys, pretend he wandered off/got resurrected.

Thank you.

Oh, and he doesn't have to be a animal handler this time, anything is fine as long as its dangerous.

Also, I see my self having to say this alot in the future...

Strange...  I got migrants in my first year, and two of my guys had kicked the proverbial bucket before then (dehydration).

[Scorpios]

Yeah, what the hell?
Did the caravan arrive?
Also, I would think migration might be low due to a low fortress value, but I would think you'd get at least some minimum number.

[Squeegy]

WE have a really low fortress value and no caravan.

[numerobis]

How low?  I've had mass immigration with a fortress worth less than your average two-ingredient artefact.

I got enough goblins to stabilize my fort (with several engravers to spare), and the caravan never arrived for me.  I guess goblins are a bit less enthusiastic about supporting their brethren.

[Squeegy]

I have around 5k wealth.

"This is a superior quality narrow Iron right guantlet ..."
"On the item is an exceptionally designed image of goblins in cave crocodile leather.  The goblins are laboring."

Took it off a dead goblin in the latest siege.  It was kind of strange, getting a postcard from the other side, knowing that somewhere out there is a goblin fort with goblins laboring away on stuff that some day will end up in the dying, bloodstained hands of their kin as they make yet another futile attempt to destroy me.  It seems like such a waste.

Maybe on some level they know the last species to see their craftsgoblinship won't be a goblin, and they want to make a good impression.  Maybe by crafting these masterworks telling the stories not of conquerors but humble laborers they're reaching out, craftsgoblin to craftsdwarf, sending a message of hope and peace.

Peace and love: what splendid offerings to the smelters!  As we melt down these priceless goblin treasures we are melting away the barriers of prejudice and misunderstanding that divide our two species.
