Apiks' Diary - 29th of Hematite
Today I have received a lettter from my master. He is indeed worthy of the title master. He has told me how to proceed to deal with the aquifer. As such I have immediately begin doing his "plug" method. I have ordered the plug method to be built inside the damn sand mountain in case we are attacked, we will have 2 lines of defence (the sand tower and the entrance to the plug).

These lousy men will have to be dealt in near future. They are causing me a lot of stress on whether they will attack or not.
Apiks' Diary - 5th of Malachite
Great! The plug is completed. We are completely ready to show that aquifer bastard who's boss. As such I have ordered for the plug to be activated and for the aquifer to feel our wrath.

1 hour later...It works! It works! Take that you damn aquifer!
Apiks' Diary - 6th of Malachite
WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT DIDN'T WORK?
WHERE'S THE FOOL THAT I TOLD TO ACTIVATE IT?
Dead? What do you mean dead? The plan was flawless.
.......
That's it. I'm ordering a full out assault against these aquifers. THIS LAND SHALL BE CLEANSED OF THEM.
As for the forumite that perished, we have no ways of acquiring his body at this given time but he shall be memoriated. A grim day indeed for all of us.
We must not falter. I have ordered yet another hole to conquer the aquifer to be dig out. This time there will be no mistakes. I promise you that my people!
On the bright side though, one less mouth to feed. Although it is truly a shame that we have lost one of our picks. Food is dangerously low as well.

Excellent. The bridge I ordered to be done is finally complete. Now we can venture into the other side of the river. But for now it is time for REVENGE AGAINST THE AQUIFER!
I hope a trade caravan arrives soon or this will be a real disaster in winter.
Apiks' Diary - 13th of Malachite
It is ready. The second plug is completed. But it is outside the sand mountain which is not as planned. But this time I am sure it will work as intended. I will make sure it does.
And as safely as possible as well.

ACTIVATE OPERATION AQUIFERDESTROY!
2 hours later...Grim news reach us. Today I have been informed that one of our miners, the miner that died in the previous plug accident, has been missing for a week. With this we have specified who exactly he is. We shall forever mourn you Site Founder Toady One! You were a good miner and Site Founder.
On the bright side, the aquifer has been defeated and we are to build a bridge across to reach stone!
Apiks' Diary - 14th of Malachite
Oi you miner! Why are you not working on the defeated aquifer? On a break you say? I see. It's understandable to be afraid of these aquifers after the recent events but do not falter! They shall be defeated by all my authority.

Curses! A giant gray langur invasion has arrived! These monkeys have plans of stealing our stuff and riping us to shreds! This is extremely bad. I have immediately ordered for us to stay at the fortress and a door to be built immediately before they reach and spell the doom of the fortress. I'd fight them myself but I have no equpment to do so and I hardly stand a chance against what? 10 Giant Gray Lengurs?
Apiks' Diary - 23rd of Malachite
These Lengurs are formidable opponents. I have decided that our best course of action is to wait for a trade caravan to come. Our only concern is with food. It is outside. This might be a problem but we will maange.
Apiks' Diary - 24th of Malachite
Blasted! Our booze supplies ran out before our food ones! This might be a huge problem. And Toady One's body has started giving out miasma even though it's underwater! It must be walled immediately.

WHAT? One of my Farmers just told me today that we can make farms on sand. Why was I not informed of this earlier? Idiots I tell you, idiots.
Apiks' Diary - 11th of Galena
The lengur invasion is over. Only 2 remain the whole area. Thank god for that. I thought we wouldn't survive this. As such GET YOUR ASSES BACK TO WORK YOU LAZYBAGS! Atleast we survived without casualties.
Apiks' Diary - 16th of Galena
Why do I keep thinking that these people are forming a fishing club? Well they are near the river and are fishing and are together. That's good enough reason for me.
Apiks' Diary - 20th of Galena
Amazing, the fisher club managed to catch fish! I am amazed. They aren't as useless as I thought. Maybe I'll allow them to keep their club.

Autumn has arrived for us forumites. I expect a caravan to come this season. Thank god for that for we need it.
Apiks' Diary - 5th of Limestone
I think our miner Nish is depressed. He's been doing nothing but attending meetings for almost 2-3 weeks now. Poor guy. How much work awaits him when he gets around to actually doing it, he has no idea. I'll make sure of it.
