First task is to get everyone therapist’d. I mean there’s dwarves with hunting and fishing enabled for crying out loud. What are we, barbarians? I’ve nicknamed many of our important dwarves as to not lose them. We have Werebears 1 and 2, Chef Cookie, Carpenter Snow, Miners Bebop and Rockstead, Smith Dworkin, Farmers John and Jane, Leader Bonesaw, Mason Knob, and our military leader Commander Junk. Our military now all has the custom job profession ‘2 Military’, and most of the other labors have been slapped onto our pile of 21 mooks. (we also have 8 useless children)
I noticed a traction bench in the undesignated bed area layer -12, and decided that it’s trying to be a hospital. We have some dwarves who’ve been wounded from their dreaded and terrible cavern escapades, so we need a medical bay. It has been designated. It looks like a bridge was being placed to close off the upper cavern entrance, but it turned out to be a retracting bridge of uselessness instead of a raising bridge of unbreachable tenacity. It has been rebuilt and attached to a nearby lever.
An underground refuse and corpse stockpile has been set up in layer -1, with an atom smasher right there too incase thing gets to stinky. Our first mead has been brewed! OH YEAH MEAD!
OH NO FORGOTTEN BEAST NGOPEX!
Turns out there’s more than one entrance to the caverns, and he just charged right in and started eating dwarves. Luckly, however, he was a pushover. Our untrained unarmed military got him. More effort will be put into sealing off the caverns. 3 mooks were killed in the attack. Now there’s a troll in the fortress too… I’ll seal off these dreaded and terrible caverns if it kills me.
On the first day of summer a human siege arrived. Well, so long as they can’t get into the caverns, i can just ignore them. So i will. A bridge and lever have been installed on layer -83 to seal off the entrance the forgotten beast used. There seems to be another way in just to the north though. That one now has a bridge and lever on layer -80. Everything in the caverns and surface has been forbidden. Finally, i might have a chance to focus on what’s really important…
BEHOLD THE LIBRARY OF YELLING! HOLDER OF ALL KNOWLEDGE AND DOMINATED BY THE MAD AND VINDICTIVE ZAZ QUELL, COMBAT EPISTEMOLOGIST!
The human siege left at some point when i wasn’t paying attention, and now the dwarven caravan has arrived. In their esteem for our great fortress, they desire to elevate us to an official land of the realm. I nominated one of the wearbears for promotion. The dwarven outpost liaison appears to be a goblin named Iton Iridmeng. I wonder what’s up with that. Anyway, i bought the entire caravan for a handful of electrum scepters someone was kind enough to forge for me. The junk stockpile will need to be expanded to hold it all. Also, the dormitory has been expanded and Derpy Dev’ified.
We now have a werebear for a baron. He’s a bearon. Get it? GET IT?! BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA! Anyway… it took the rest of the winter to get all those trade goods back inside. Dwarf Me hasn’t written any books yet, so we have nothing in our library except 100 blank quires. I have high hopes for him. The surface is sealed off, the caverns are sealed off, the food and drink supplies are ok, and we’re producing masterwork electrum goblets.
GOOD LUCK!
