Red Hammer's Journal
Hematite
I ordered the digging of a bit more adamantine, above and on the same level as the previous diggings. There were no complaints.
Another lazorshark attacked. Several of us are a bit more melted. It's these stupid clothes! We have plenty of armor to go around, I say we wear it!
I got rid of another dump zone. How many stupid, out-of-the-way dump zones does this place have?!
Marksmite Vucar gave birth to a baby boy today. His father is Urvad. The boy will never know his father. I feel even worse now.
A reacher got into the fort and assaulted the Archpriest. You can guess what I did next.
Two more lazorsharks! Why are there so many!? I hope we are better prepared this time...
Migrants, six of them. Mostly useless, but hey, we need haulers.
I am the first to sight the lazorsharks. Their lazors impact harmlessly on steel. Their teeth skid harmlessly off my shield. My hammer only dents them, but the rest of the squad is right behind me. A lazor sails over Carefulrouge's head and sets the cavern behind him on fire. The lazorsharks are soon surrounded and cut to pieces. No casualties, no wounded.
Malachite
It turns out that the garbage dump that I wanted people to use was "not active". WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOT ACTIVE!? IT'S A FUCKING HOLE IN THE FUCKING GROUND! WHAT IS WITH THIS FUCKING FORTRESS!?
I just killed an entire herd of rutherers. Hmm, that gives me an idea...
I picked a random unused room (this place is full of them) and converted it to a small arena. I can fight captives in there.
Urvad rose from the dead and possessed Thikut, our legendary weaponsmith. I'm sorry Urvad! I shouldn't have sent you into battle! I assigned him a tomb so he can finally be at rest.
One of the new migrants, a metalworker, was taken by a fey mood. He took a single bismuth bronze bar before starting to work.
A couple of plump helmet men came to pray in the Temple of Omer. They got a little eaten by courage wolves on the way there, though.
The metalworker made a scepter. It's uninteresting but valuable. He's legendary now.
Galena
Urvad was finally buried.
I killed several more groups of dangerous or annoying cavern creatures.
Autumn has come. I believe every corpse has an assigned coffin now, though the burying is still ongoing. Now we just have to take out the trash.
