Journal of Endok Monangbesmar:

9th Granite, 1069:

The elves are here!  The elves are here!  Wait, that's just the diplomat.  But the elves will be here soon!

[Keldor]

14th Granite, 1069:

The elves are here, and they brought lions and a hippo!  I hope Goden gets to the depot soon, I can't wait!

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

Ach, damn animals, gettin' under mah feet!.

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

Helloooooooo?

[Keldor]

17th Granite, 1069:

Vulcar and his crew have been complaining that the water in the swimming pool is too deep, and that this is making their engraving job impossible.  I wonder what they're engraving down there?  For my part, I'm helping bring our goods to the trade depot, so we can trade for some of those marvelous animals the elves brought.

20th Granite, 1069:

Bomrek Whitenesspaged the Humorous Blade of Banners has officially been recognized as a champion!  When Jool's butler went down to the archery range to tell her the good news, Bomrek's little son, Dumat Keyelders, apparently shot him right in the eye with his toy crossbow!  That little baby will be quite a marksdwarf one of these days!

21st Granite, 1069:

Kazari has been hard at work setting up the mechanics for the power train unification.  Following her around as she works with the gears and axles is none other than Kivish Aceglazed, one of our mechanics, who has been trying to get a meeting with her to talk about the scarcity of jobs lately.  A bit odd, if you think about it.

[OOC]
So, we have Kazari, who's also a mechanic, hard at work, while Kivish follows her around complaining of the lack of mechanic jobs, despite the fact that there are jobs right there that he could help Kazari with.....  Dwarves...

24th Granite, 1069:

Goden has finally concluded tradeing with the elves.  We got two lions, a hippo, and a siamang, along with several barrels of booze.  In return, the elves got some used goblin clothing, and a few stone trinkets.

2nd Slate, 1069:

Atír Muthirkeskal, one of our miners, was just discovered dead in the old graveyard.  She appears to have died of thirst.  Very spooky.

Someone found dead in the tombs under mysterious circumstances you say?

Hmm.

*Goes and has a look through the archives*

16th Hematite, 1059
Etur Cattenestun, one of the speardwarves, was found dead in the tomb today. Looked like he'd starved to death. What was he doing down there in the first place?

...there are other haunted areas of the fort, such as a part of the tomb complex and the old bridge...

Another was found dead in the tombs today, this time of thirst.

23rd Sandstone

The river runs red with blood, and no one can tell me quite why!

...And still that empty one on the north road haunts me. I swear I saw smoke this-morning.

5th timber
And verily did the beasts pour from the far watch-house,
and the slimy creatures did swim 'pon the slimy river
WATER, WATER! All beginnings lie in the seas, as do
many middles and ends!
Why did the gods grant us only two arms and two legs?
On they pour from the river in their multitudinous terror!
*meaningless scribbles trail off into ink stains*
AND! AND! THE TERRIBLE CONNECTIVE!

Eeek!

*Kazari cancels meeting, hiding under bed.*

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

AND.

Maggarg the Elder cancels smoke pipe: Cowering in fear.

[Keldor]

Just to bust everyone's bubbles, there's a perfectly good reason that dead dwarves keep turning up there - that tomb complex is directly connected to the prisons, so dwarves are brought down to the prison, hammered, released (with or without jail time) and manage to drag their broken bodies that far back up before they finally starve to death.

To tell the truth, that's not much better...

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

Yeah, I worked that out before.
But shhh, it's SEEKRIT.

[Kazindir]

Yeah. The river runs red with blood at the drop of a hat because of light correctional hammering.
Dwarves are found as shrivelled corpses in the tomb because of light correctional hammering.
Insane and incoherent babbling fills pages of past overseer logs because of light correctional hammering.
Smoke and lights have been sighted at abandoned outposts because of light correctional hammering.
The cursed bridge is...etc

A likely story!


Kazindir: WoooOOoooOOOooOooOooOOOOooOOOoOOoOOOoooOoOooOO!

Oh no, a ghostly engineer!
