the last 12 days have been extrodinarily hectic. First, the Humans Siege. Well and good enough, we can cut them down and smelt thier armor quite easily. THEN the moron fisher is attacked by a frogman AGAIN. When I go to inspect on that, then I notice that someone has started the pumps for my project prematurely; flooding that room and sending the slightest rivlets down, down down, right into the heart of the fortress; this treatens to flood the access to the wehiels powering the pumps, thus making the whole thing impossible to stop. I order the only thing we still have access to destroyed; a small gear system that will destroy the watermills when removed, and hope that the slaggars can take care of that before we're all swimming. Meanwhile, the humans are marching back and forth before the walls. I send out quizzar's squad and the humans march no more. Now, while all this is happening, the barroness's consort DEMANDS that we cut three large gems. What does he expect? You can't just make that sort of thing
happen! Ohh, I might have to get those two to visit my project NOW. Or, perhaps, have them taken on a fishing trip.

I've ordered all the metal the humans brough melted in the forges, and anything else to be incinerated in the magma. they will be made to be usefull.

We've had no losses, but two marksdwarves have lost limbs in the fighting. They'll make good meatshields for the melee dwarves, but not much else.

Things have been quiet, now. The nobles have demanding so much, but I plan to give them some private rooms without all the inconvieniaces of doors and beds soon. The project, despite the setbacks, is now ready for unvieling, but if I give it some time, it will be all the more impressive.
Today's buisiness is that as the miners where digging allong an experimental shaft, they discovered we walls- but this is distant from the river, and far below the surface. I will have them find the source of the moisture immediately.
the surpluss population of this fortress is appalling. Perhaps I shall have a Dwarven Blender built...

Things have been peacefully chaotic, but the fortress has been holding together well. The Count's quarters are being engraved, and surprisingly enough, SUPER MASON Tulon Storlutgeshund went into a mood and produced a gloryous throne for the count's throne room. Dispite this, the count still is unsatisfied with his quarters... hmm, we do have those caged frogmen in that exellent cage; and several masterpiece mechanisms. perhaps his room just needs some sprucing up!
25th
I've grown tired of repeated attacks from the river creatures; I've done what I can to elimintate thier main access while I improve the last few mechanisms for my project's pump area.
