Journal of Scott (Carpenter)
9th Granite - Today is the first day I have had time to write in here, the area for the Ark is large the boat shall be aswell. We have decided to name the ship , StormBreaker. I am making beds for our dwarves and some buckets incase we get hurt. The wood burner and glass maker are digging the dry dock. The wood burner is known as Obok and he narrowly escaped drowning when he dug into a pond, the water pushed him into the tunnel of the other diggin, luckily he keep his cool and could mine away from the water fast enough.
6th Slate - I have taken up a pick along side the mechanic Zuntir. The others have done there share now I must give mine. We have half the dry dock done, we are moving stuff under the soon to be hull of the boat. The food and bed is under, the farms are being plowed. For now that is it.
10th Felsite - I took a walk today, I saw 6 groundhogs running in the field. Zuntir and I are stilling mining our share. The other carpenter Led has made us some tables and chairs, she also made some supports under the boat.
17th Hematite - It has been tiring I am passing my pick off to the other carpenter, Zuntir the mechanic has taken a liking to mining for now, he says it does not bother him becasue his other skills are not needed yet. I also gave the great idea that the wood burner and glassmaker start work, we will need to make some crafts if we wish to buy and anvil. Channeling around the hull has began.
28th Malachite - They took my advice we should have enough for a iron anvil. The woodcutter Mosus has done his job and cut the trees around the dry dock. He says hes going to start clear cutting and that we will need many logs. Mosus and I sat down and did some rough calculations, we believe we will need atleast 10,000 logs to build the Ark.
19th Galena - ..I saw wolves, I was out for a stroll looking for more ground hogs.. I think the wolves ate them.. We have done quite a bit of channeling, everyone has taken a turn mining except for Mosus he is busy clearcutting. Zuntir is doing the mining. Other then the wolves there is nothing to report.
27th Limestone - The caravan is here! We have been carrying crafts to the depot for days. We are finally done. Those dam mountain home dwarves only brought steel anvils and we cant afford the metals.. I guess it will have to wait. I should mention we brough along 20 peices of silver to create some dull weapons for training when we start the military. It should be good for 10 dual weilding sword dwarves. We bought silk, leather and bags, Along with all the food and drinks they had. This is a busy month, the dry dock is almost done we have many supports and a little work on the stern has begun.
28th Sandstone - The caravan has left.. We asked them to bring anvils next year too,hopefully the iron kind. The traders wanted insturments so the glassmaker is giving a hand at that instead. With the leave of the traders a cougar was spotted.. I hope it doesn't venture to close to us, the creature seems very skiddish.
28th Timeber - There is no barrels for rum! I have been working round the clock try to get some done. Zuntir has a little left to mine on the bow of the dry dock. We fear that theives may be coming to visit sometime, I have used the 4 ropes we brought to chain our war dogs near the trade depot and entrance. Hopefully we do not see them for a while.
13th Moonstone - Hurray! Hurray! Rum for everyone! The dry dock is finished! Look we also have fresh beer! I have made more beds and barrels along with a few bins. The other carpenter finished his time digging awhile ago he is now working on the stern. Mosus has cut somewhere near 500 trees in a litle strip. We should have enough trees for the Ark after about three clearcuts.
14th Opal - Raccoons! They are mighty visious and wont stop attacking, I let a dog loose on them only to be struck down, but he did his job he took out two raccons by the eyes, they are crawling away we will let them die somewhere else. During the fight some kobold theives tried to get in but the dog rolled into him. Zuntir's old skills are being called to set cage traps near the depot for raccons. I will make some cages.
27th Obsidian - Looks like my times giving advices are soon to be up. According to the king his next to call shots will reveal himself at the turn of spring. This month was slow thats all there is to say, I have spent time preparing things for the next dwarf, while doing so I made this list.
~List to next Dwarf~
Fourty beds made for immigrants no needs to worry.
Make barrels and lets the orders of cages run.
Finish adding supports and start work on hull of the ship.
If you look past the bow of the ship underground there are plans on how the ship shall be built,
no need to follow exact but they should help.
Good luck.
