Finally done! Sorry that took so long, I've had the week from hell.

And I wouldn't mind another turn after the current set get finished.

7th Timber
I've not written for a long time... Been rather busy with other projects. That aside, the trapped entrances got a test recently, and they worked very well. Wiped out an entire squad of goblin swordsmen. As well as that, we seem to have quite the collection of Goblin leaders amassing, though past casting them into the chasm, I'm not sure what to do with them.
I am rather struck by how appropriate it is that my commissioned engravings for this year are perfectly in line with the wall that was built to replace the chunk of stone I dug out to escape here in the first place. Odd coincidence, I suppose.

I'd like to think I've made somewhat of a difference in my time here. For one thing we can now leave the drawbridges down without fear of goblin incursion thanks to all those traps. For another, things are a tiny bit tidier indoors after all those bins got made. The courtyard is still a mess of clothes and other goods, though they're in stockpiles now at least.
Also got some noble quarters built. Big, big rooms, and still they're not satisfied. Bah. Nontheless, I think I'll be staying here rather than leaving. I never much liked the mountainhomes anyway, and this place has calmed down a touch, especially without that mad child running around...
Speaking of children, I should have mentioned the fey mood the Baroness' surviving child entered. Yeah, well, we didn't have any shell, so he eventually starved to death. The Baroness seems to be taking it rather well, but to be honest, I don't think she's all here anymore. At least she's walking around again.
Since I'm staying, I've opted to change my name. Keeping my old one when I'm listed as dead, well... It just doesn't seem right. Tulonetur. It has a ring to it, and it is fairly appropriate. Roadboulders. The wagon of my life has certainly hit plenty of those, after all.
23rd Moonstone
Sweet Armok's spinal cavity! So much for what I said about staying; that's a ruddy Hydra! I'm going to go hide until this blows over...
24th Moonstone
Well, that was anticlimactic. It got both lungs stoved in by the first weapon trap it stumbled across, then got peppered with crossbow bolts from another and suffocated to death. I guess we are okay here after all.
11th Obsidian
Still not sure what to do with those goblin rulers we've captured. Throwing them into the chasm remains tempting, though unoriginal. Dumping them in the magma might work... Hopefully, my successor will have some thoughts on the matter.
31st Obsidian
Right, I'm done here. If anyone needs me, I'll be downstairs, making rock blocks.
