Preliminary Report to Chancellor of External Affairs;
12 Granite Y35: From Your Servant, Speciesunkn0wn.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Supplies have all been gathered for the trip, as have the 7 Architects, including myself. I include a list of the supplies, you have already seen the list of others I have picked.
This will be more than enough to reach our goal. It is not very far from the furthest south stronghold we have, so we do not need to pack much more. We leave tomorrow. It should not take us longer than a day.
Monthly Report to ChExAf;

------------------------------------------------------------
My only complaint is that I wasn't given the forms for the name in time to get my own approved of. 'Toolclinch'. Such an odd name. Well, we shall make do.
I will include a sketch of the land on the next page. From what I have seen, this place will be perfect for the prison. They have plenty of fresh water to drink so they won't die of thirst, the dirt is deep, so plenty of farms. Plenty of trees for them to make themselves useful with. Yes. This was a wonderful place. I can only imagine the quality of stone and metals that lie beneath the disgusting, grainy and green surface. The land to the north and west has more hills than I would like, but I suppose I could make the compound go up a few levels. The prisoners deserve as little stone as possible. We will commence digging for the caverns and magma sea as quickly as possible, and the Warden will start cutting down all the trees. We need as much wood as we can get, both for the early walls, and for everything we'll need later. And to make those damn hippies as mad as possible. Let them come and smash their numbers upon our unbreakable resolve so that it will be easier for us to crush them and burn their precious forests to the ground later! ETERNAL VICTORY! Ahem. Sorry. I got carried away there.

Well, it didn't take too long for the first cavern to be found. Hopefully we will find the rest with such ease. We cannot begin the creation of the Stone Caste's layer until all three caverns and the magma sea are found. Hopefully that will not take too much longer...

I am regretful that I became busy with sketching out ideas for the various layers that I forgot to make sure our sole miner, Imic, was capable of getting out of the holes I instructed him to dig. A few days ago I was told he had become trapped in the channel I ordered him to dig for what was going to be the caravan and main entrance to the lower parts of the fortress. He nearly starved. I told him to dig deeper to get to stone and build a ramp once he collected a piece. He has manged to get out now after building the item and I do believe making our entrance out of colbaltite will look quite nice...

Today has been quite...interesting. If the reports are to be believed, the second cavern layer has a patch of the wonderweapon metal, Adamantine!
This is an amazing discovery! We can outfit our RPB (Raz
pe Pillage Burn) troops with the best armor and weapons known to dwarven kind. The elves, goblins, and humans will be completely outmatched! It will have to wait until the Metal Caste quarters are in place though. Can't have the prisoners stealing any.

The rest of the month was uneventful until now. The temporary walls are slowly being built and I've sent our military dwarves to train on the hapless wildlife. All the better to piss off the elves. But today, today constructions will go faster! Migrants! I will sort them quickly. 8 dwarves; 3 children, 3 dirt caste, 1 rough stone guild member and 1 metalsmith. This is a great day. The children...we will see where they end up.

OOC: I will post the rest of the year tomorrow. I need to get up early and it's getting late. :/ Sorry.
