1st Granite
-- After fuming for several hours about how badly he wanted to destroy his father, Sularus raised his hands from his head and looked around. No one had started unloading the goods yet. He look toward Kira and Silverus, already they had beads of sweat dripping down their foreheads and all they had done is mull about the area looking for something, anything worthwhile. They had to get the food out of this heat before it went bad.
--Sularus "Kira, dig us a shaft over there in the sand so we can put the food in there and set up some areas out of this heat. Silverus help her out.
--Kira "You mean you plan on staying here, in a lifeless desert?"
--Sularus "Yes, we shall build a grand fortress here, one that will put all of the mountain homes to shame."
--Silverus "This is a wasteland, how do you expect to make something out of NOTHING!?"
--Sularus "Well, personally, I would like build someplace else, but my dead father said it had to be here, and here it is."
--Kira "Do you not hear yourself, are you insane, your father is dead, how can his opinion matter?"
--Sularus "Ok, Ok, ignore my father for a second, Silverus go take a quick inventory of our supplies and give me a recommendation on if we should look for another spot or if we should stay here and build while we can.
--Silverus grumbled quietly to himself and went over to the wagon and started counting. After only a few minutes he came back to the still arguing group and stated, “We are staying here, we have only handful a food and drink, and the trek up the valley to this spot took nearly 2 weeks as it is. Which would leave us roughly 1 day to travel to a new location, dig out a farm, plant crops and harvest them, right before we all starve to death?"
--Kira "How is anything supposed to grow in this?"
--Sularus "We will make it work".
After a little more debating Kira and Silverus went off to dig some temporary housing and storage area.
3rd Granite
-- Kira jogged up from the digging area over to Penguino and asked him to follow her. Intrigued Sularus followed them down into the almost completed storage area and much to everyone's surprise; the sand was ever so slightly damp. Penguino seemed almost Ecstatic at seeing this, and the smile on her face brought pleasure to everyone, maybe this place wouldn't be their smoldering tomb after all. Penguino Immediately redesigned what Sularus had planned for farms, and expanded some of the storage rooms for farming, and additional storage. He let the others take that task over, something else on my way down caught his eye. Stone, right across from the entrance to our temporary storage area.
--Sularus went and got the elven map and reviewed it carefully. It seems that they were in the right place. The sand has slowly blown up against the mountain and formed large sand dunes almost completely covering them. He decided to build a bridge to get at the stone so they could build permanent areas later.
--Up above Jayfrin had taken some of the granite stones they brought with them and constructed a workshop. If he had to live in a desert, he was going to have a bed.
22nd Granite
--Sularus completed the construction of the bridge and designed an entranceway and barracks area, along with a trade depot if anyone ever decided to come to this forsaken place, they would be protected and be ready to trade. He found himself staring at penguino more and more throughout the day. She seemed to be so happy when she worked in the fields planting crops. Sularus had also taken about the task of building them a few doors for their temporary bedrooms, as Jayfrin had already completed all the beds. He noticed that Jayfrin and Grind had been spending a lot of time together on their breaks.
9th Felsite
--Sularus began to construct the trade depot inside cavern that Kira had hallowed out, and Grind set up a workshop right next to it for Craft productions and immediately set about his work. After but a few days he went around to everyone bragging about how masterfully designed it was. Jayfrin seemed to be rather impressed with it when he offered it to her.
Early summer
--Jayfrin saw some camels in the distance one day when he was waiting for another hauling task to come up and he grabbed his sword and took off with my two dogs. Later he came back carrying a camel over his shoulder, and my dogs had blood all over their mouths, it seems the group will have fresh meat for a while.
3rd Hematite
-- Sularus was sitting on the bridge watching some of the fireflies and penguino joined him. They sat there for a few hours that evening just watching the fireflies.
Summer Date unknown
-- Sularus watched Jayfrin in the distance sneak up on a pack of camels. The events that unfolded scared him. Jayfrin approached the camels, and immediately hunted down the weakest looking camel he could find. He stabbed slashed its chest with his sword, and then slashed its two rear legs so it couldn’t run. He then proceeded to do the same thing with the rest of the camel herd, with more gruesome results. He came back to the first one only after the rest of the herd had been badly injured and the sounds of pain of the animals could be herd even inside of the tunnels. Sularus decided he would have to keep an eye on his friend Jayfrin, who seemed a bit evil.
--Later Sularus asked Mulch and Penguino on a report on food supplies. Penguino said everything was going well and they could probably support a much larger population with their current operations. Mulch said he needed more space for workshops, and Penguino agreed, she couldn’t even set up a farmer’s workshop.
--Sularus set up a meeting with Kira and Silverus and they planned out some permanent dining facilities. Kira wanted to do something small at first, but Silvers won the day with his plan to build a food area which would support up to 100 Dwarves. They would never need to come back and expand the operations.
Autumn, First limestone
-- Sularus decided to review what they had done during the summer and write it in a makeshift journal
~Trade depot build and has full wagon access
~Dining hall is carved out along with most of the food area
~7 beds have been made
~A large food surplus has been stored
~Goods have been hauled to the new food storage areas
~The Milk Opal Piccolo was encrusted with a moss agate for Silverus by Jayfrin. He put pictures of beautiful clouds on it.
~A surplus of trade goods have been made
~Nothing bad except for one day during the summer when a war dog ran off by itself and came back with blood on its fur. I wonder what it was chasing.

If you want to write journals for your characters, feel free, I would love to hear everyone’s perspectives on the events that unfolded.
