Little to report for the past month until today. Just digging, farming, building the compound's walls and trying to figure out how big to make it in the end. Today however, the miners reported warm stone. We have reached the magma sea, but missed the third cavern layer. I will have them dig exploratory tunnels along the shaft in order to find it. We cannot commence building of the Stone Caste or Metal Caste's layers until all three caverns are found!

Please tell the merchants to not come quite as soon next year. We were not ready for them. Ten days into autumn, seriously! They must have been very eager to see how the staging grounds are progressing, because we had to scramble to get the depot up and even some goods produced for them.
I do have another complaint about the fact they didn't wait until the depot was made. Oh well. Next year we will hopefully have the depot in its proper place. Deep under the ground.

We have dug into the magma sea and observed some of its shape. A magma pipe extends a fair ways up. Maybe to the third cavern layer? We shall see. The exploratory tunnels have been designated, hopefully they will yield results soon. I would like to get out of the rain and dirt to the proper location of the deep underground as soon as possible.

Why in Armok's beard hasn't that depot been completed yet!? I knew the prisoners are near useless and trying to sabotage us, but they'll die anyway if they try this!MoReChExAf;

Finally, the damn depot has been completed. Almost a month after I set it to be built and it was designed! That took far too long. They are certainly trying to sabotage us still.
I will need to think up some extra punishments for those who do not complete tasks of such importance...

The traders have begun unloading their goods into our depot and I've seen some new prisoners and caste members arriving myself. Not very many of them, only 4 this time.
At least no kids.

The traders have announced they will be leaving soon. That's why those bastard dirt caste members were delaying. They cut it too close! I will make sure that there won't be enough food for all of them. At most two plump helmets per season per prisoner should be enough to keep them hungry but not starve to death. If not, oh well. They're worthless. Just like the dirt that they're named after. Actually, that's an insult to dirt. Dirt is useful for as disgusting as it is. It allows us to make booze. They try to keep us from making booze.

I am happy to announce that Vabok and I have gotten our Marriage License approved of by the Chancellor of Family Affairs. Thank you, Sir, for granting us your patronage in submitting the application.
Onto what we have traded, a measly two wooden crafts and some booze for some cheese. We shall have better trade goods next year for sure.

The river has finally frozen over. If it is a short freeze, that will be fine for the prisoners. If not, I suppose I should build them a well underground...

Armoks beard! No booze! Who the hell stopped making booze!? I'll have them hammered! It's been at least a month since the booze went dry! I should have been keeping track of the stocks, but I've been so busy I forgot to make a makeshift office for myself. Damndamndamn. Everyone is pissed now, including the Dirt Caste. Which is a minor problem when you're currently living among them on the surface.
WARDEN! GET BREWING!

The river has thawed at last. The prisoners should be capable of lasting that length of time. We shall see. If not, I will build them a well only to be unlocked when the river freezes.
So the crisis has been mostly averted, but they will still probably be stressed out and annoyed over the lack of booze. It has been rectified, and is going up however.

I was just told that one of the prisoners refuses to work because they're "too depressed". I told them to get back to work because they are a prisoner. They have no say in what they can do. Only I do, and that is carried out through the warden.

Due to the lack of barrels, and the fact we shall not have wooden barrels or bins in the lower layers, I have ordered the creation of a couple colbaltite rock pots. And I'm thinking of making the entrance out of blocks of the same stone. It is a nice, soft blue.
Yearly Report to Chancellor of External Affairs

One year has passed, so here is the yearly report of the fortress. I shall include sketches of the staging ground so far.
Here is the very top of the surface complex and the map.
Here is the middle-top of the surface complex.
The middle of the surface complex. You can see the new, incomplete main entrance to the fortress up above the trade depot where the water patches are. The current set up of workshops is to the west.
Bottom of surface complex. You can see the bridge over the river, but there will soon be an extra branch to it, leading into the complex and then out of it so the prisoners may drink and bathe and fish.
Here is the wealth from this past year.
And the census of this past year.
(OOC: Can someone tell me how to turn off the clearing of yearly deaths every time the game starts through LNP?)
