19th Hematite, 253[/i]
The humans have arrived to trade, we placed our usual orders for leather, I've also requested cloth, gold and silver. It's time we started to produce some luxury items.
In turn, they requested prepared meels, axes and short swords for next year. I think we can provide all of those.
10th GalenaAsno Saxostozu, holy stanger is visiting again! I've ordered Catten to intercept and question him. Let's find out if he was involved in the theft of Vaultspin.
Work on the Tavern continues - A large quantity of the finest alcohol has been transfered to the stockpile. Once work on smoothing all the surfaces is complete we can get the furnishings in and have a celebratory drink or 10!
17th Galena, 253Well, well, it appears we were right to be suspicious, Cattens report is interesting, she appears to be a skilled flatterer.
The next link in the chain appears to be Tun Clinchedshot. odd, I expected it to be Dang Smumuurar, who we still have in the cells.
The mastermind behind this is still to be revealed. I think some further questioning is in order to get to the bottom of this.
Oddly Vaultspin is now back in our stockpile. This mystery just keeps getting more confusing!
We may need a bigger prison. Thinking of which, I realise that Axno was only convicted for espionage - oh, and he attacked 2 dwarfs who were refilling his prisons food stockpile. Looks like he's in for a longer sentance.
19th Galena, 253To my surprise, Catten has decided on a beating for Asno, I'm confused as to why, we do have a second cell in our prison.
Catten is quite an interesting character, she's an expert marksdwarf now and in spite of her youth (she started the job at 16) and disinterest in the law or truth, she seems to have taken to the roll very well. She's certainly very keen on the more, physical, part of the job.
Catten Astebkol, "Catten Tellwheel", captain of the guard
"I beat somebody as a punishment. That was very exhilarating!"
She is exhilarated after punishing somebody with a beating. She feels satisfied at work. Within the last season, she was frustrated considering the scarcity of cages and chains.

Catten Astebkol likes petrified wood, pig iron, green diamond, clear glass, the color russet, picks, floodgates, dogs for their loyalty and the sound of The Sparkle of Lace. When possible, she prefers to consume echidna, nautilus, prickle berries and pineapple wine. She absolutely detests mosquitos.

Like others in her culture, she greatly prizes loyalty, values family greatly, sees friendship as one of the finer things in life, greatly respects artists and their works, deeply respects those that work hard at their labors, really respects those that take the time to master a skill, finds merrymaking and partying worthwhile activities, respects fair-dealing and fair-play, values cooperation, values martial prowess, values leisure time, respects commerce, values knowledge and finds nature somewhat disturbing.

She is quite comfortable with others that have a different appearance or culture. She is assertive. She generally finds herself quite hopeful about the future. She often feels envious of others. She tends to avoid crowds. She can handle stress. She tends to be a bit stubborn in changing her mind about things. She generally acts with a narrow focus on the current activity. She needs alcohol to get through the working day.
Overall, she is somewhat focused with satisfied needs. She is distracted after being unable to pray to Zizcun Mintcherishes. She is unfettered after staying occupied. She is unfettered after doing something creative. She is unfettered after doing something exciting. She is unfocused after being unable to acquire something. She is level-headed after drinking. She is unfocused after a lack of decent meals. She is unfettered after fighting. She is unfocused after a lack of trouble-making. She is unfocused after being unable to argue.

She is distracted after being unable to make merry. She is unfocused after being unable to admire art. She is distracted after being away from family. She is distracted after being away from friends. She is unfocused after being unable to practice a martial art. She is unfettered after practicing a skill. She is unfocused after being unable to take it easy.

20th Galena - TavernDodok and Sarvesh are engulfed in a cloud of flying dust and debris as they enter the site of the tavern.
shaken but unharmed they rush in to be grerted by a terrible sight. The mangled, headless body of Id, one of their fellow miners.
20th Galena - Urvads diaryI feel terrible, there is no doubt in my mind that Id's death was a result of a measurement error on my part in the design of the tavern. I've said it before, but inatention to detail
kills. I've asked Ids fellow miners to come up with an appropriate name for the tavern and a memorial slab for Id will be placed somewhere prominent.
21st GalenaCatten pressed Tun, our expert leatherworker closely and does not believe he was holding anything back, however it seems that he knows nothing of the dissapearence and subsequent re-appearence of Vaultspin. Perhaps Asno was trying to lay a false trail.
OOC - Damn, I got the ordering of my digging/channeling designations in the tavern wrong. Any ideas for a suitable tavern name to immortalize the unfortunate miner Id ShieldSculptures?
