The voices are saying that their time is slowing down a lot.
I asked them how this could happen, because time is the same for me.
They said it was something to do with all the adorable likkle horseys
and doggies.
I asked how I could stop them slowing things down.
They told me to turn all of them into roast nin-nins.
Now my hands hurt after signing all of those bits of paper that
let people magic the animals into food.
I'm still not sure how that works.

Apparently it is a normal thing for rulers here to dig out
huge rooms for them to live in when they are dead.
I don't know why they need a room to live in when they have stopped
living. Some of these rooms are VERY big.
The voices say that mine must be the biggest.
Well, some of them do. They are very democratic and often don't agree.
They never let me decide though, probably because I'm not very good at that.

I found a huge hole in the ground full of very hot sticky water.
I dropped a cat in it to see if it could swim.
It can't swim, but it can yowl and set on fire.
It wasn't very much fun, and now it smells bad.

I always wanted to be buried in a cave, so I'm going to secretly make one.
I mustn't tell the voices or they'll laugh.
I was talking to a dwarf with an awfully large chin today.
His name is Aquizzar, and he was a ruler here some years ago.
I think he was quite good at it, although my memory grows weak sometimes.
He's the one with the gigantinourmous tomb.
There's another dwarf here. He's got a very odd way of styling his hair.
It's a sort of squiggly thing on the top.
He's called Dadam, and he often talks about the way
this place is a vault for all eternity.
He has a nice tomb as well.
Not as nice as mine will be though.
har har har.
12th granite
It looks like I already have a tomb dug out for me.
I'll just smooth and engrave all the walls.
It's a bit muddy, but I kind of like the effect of all the big
mushrooms.
I love that word. Some of the voices do too.
13th granite
I'm not doing anything today.
Unlucky. Most of the voices are being quiet so I don't do anything
silly, but some of the mean ones are telling me to go hang-gliding or
swimming with iron underpants.
Oh, and an elf arrived.
Truly this is an unlucky day.
Oh, and the year is 113.
I'm going to put my *aluminium foil hat* on.
14th granite
Eek! a beetle!
Oh, and there are some goblins outside. I think they want a party.
I'd let them in, but they have such a bad reputation for getting
over-excited and killing people.
Oh, and there's a paedophile goblin being attacked by a cat.
I let Dadam use his axe on them.
More goblins appeared and are joining the party.
They are being very naughty and breaking dadam's legs.
I am letting Aquizzar attack now. He's very scary, because he starts
flashing blue when he gets angry.

GRAGH, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
ODDOM IS SILENT! NOW TIME FOR GRAGH TO CONTROL!
ELVES AND GREENSKINS ARE HERE.
GRAGH WILL KILL.
nasty gragh is gone.
Aquizzar went out and batted the goblins away.
A long way away.
Oh no!
Dadam is dead! He was such a nice dwarf and a very good engraver.
And he was our broker and appraiser.
I think I may have done a silly.
16th granite
I blamed Dadam's death on communists, and that seemed to satisfy his friends.
My tomb is nearly half-way finished.
It looks very good.
I made me into the broker and hoardmaster.
I'm actually quite good with numbers. Well, not me personally, but a voice
called Gizmo Steampaddles is. He used to be something called a mathematician
in a city made of brass.
He's very good at numbers. Scarily good. He often talks in them.
I reply backwards.
