17th Timber, 1069:

Another scaffold removing mishap has occurred.  Perhaps miners should not be allowed to remove constructions?

[Keldor]

27th Timber, 1069:

Renovations to Dresdor's arena have been completed.

[Keldor]

8th Moonstone, 1069:

After spending nearly a month hunting down the proper materials, one of our pump operators has build a most marvelous coffer.  I've attached a sketch, since there's no way I could adequately describe the artifact.

[Keldor]

11th Moonstone, 1069:

The monument to the casualty-free siege has been completed, with only minor casualties caused by the deconstruction of the cranes!  A cat was squashed, and a child received a cracked skull, and several other dwarves were knocked unconscious, so over all, a success.

[Keldor]

14th Moonstone, 1069:

A Vile Force of Darkness has arrived!  I suppose I'd better call out the military.

[Keldor]

17th Moonstone, 1069:

The first battle of the siege has been fought!  To tell the truth, it was more of a rout, the goblins didn't but up any noticeable resistance against a squad of champions.

[Keldor]

19th Moonstone, 1069:

Alas, it seems that the first battle was not truely without casualty.  One of our champions fell into the pond with a goblin and was sucked into quicksand before anyone noticed her missing.

[Keldor]

22nd Moonstone, 1069:

The second battle was a complete catastrophy.  The marksdwarf squad apparently forgot their ammo, so when they had shot the bolts already loaded in their crossbows, they were forced to enter the battlefield to scavenge for bolts.  All the while, the goblin crossbow squad freely fired upon them.  We lost 5 good dwarves there.  May they find happiness in Armok's halls.




We have renamed the marksdwarf squad The Short Tours, owing to the shortness of their average tour of duty.

Journal of Ustuth Elbellogem, King Consort:

12th Opal, 1069:

It has come to my attention that some of the buildings outside the fort proper do not have proper stone floors, rather that they are floored with dirt, and worse, grass.  This will simply not do.  What would my sweet tootsie think?  I have ordered the peasantry to do something about this calamity.

[Kazindir]

Oh dear

I thought the marksdwarves seemed to be going through ammo quickly on my turn, with then running off into the fortress fairly quickly into the battle after shooting a few times. I just assumed they'd got high enough to become little gun turrets and were shooting the whole stack of bolts in short order - I wonder if they were just horribly confused and have filled their quivers with socks or something...

We should have more than enough bolts anyway, the Bonehoard has been doing nothing else other than making bolts and totems for a decade!

Journal of Endok:

12th Obsidian, 1069:

Since the new year's just around the corner, I've laid out the final plans for the invader sorter.  I've told the masons to leave a path through up until the last moment, since the pressure plates are still not all linked up.  Hopefully those will be finished before the path becomes too long to get to them.

Journal of Ustuth Elbellogem, King Consort:

23rd Obsidian, 1069:

Just before the turn of the new year, a dwarf has completed a most marvelous bone throne.  I've included a picture for reference.  Rumor has it that Jools wants it for his office, but I've thought of a better use for it...

[Keldor]

24th Obsidian, 1069:

The room in the abbey dedicated to my sweet tootsie has been completed!  She would have loved it dearly, the chains on the walls, to hold prisoners in place while they are questioned, the spikes in the corners, perfect for the display of those prisoners that didn't talk, and finally, a great throne of bone, where my sweet tootsie could sit and enjoy the atmosphere.  Oh how I miss her!

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

I'm all set and ready to go for the next Naptime.

[Keldor]

Well, that's the end of that turn!
