On-topic: I'm still waiting for your first siege. I wonder how well that will go. Also... is your bridge hooked up to a lever, or can you not seal your fortress? Personally, I don't make my fortress seal-able anymore, as it's not nearly as Fun.
Yes, the bridge is hooked up to a lever in the dining room. I rarely seal off my fortresses neither, it's just in extreme cases, otherwise I like to see how much Fun my soldiers can take
Oh by the way, special thanks to Ragathol for the illustration this time!

10th Moonstone
Mûthkat suddenly lost it today in the statue garden. She started screaming about "The man won't let me make armor out of silver! Fuck the system! Fuck the man! I won't surrender to a system based on exploitation of the peasants for the benefit of a small elite! Deregulate
this, suckers!", at which point she locked herself in the magma forge with some silver, a bit of leather and a lot of bitterness. I don't know if this is a good thing.
21st Moonstone
The chained war dog started barking in panic today, and suddenly we were aware of a half-dozen goblins just outside. Kogan quickly led us outside to deal with it, but it wasn't until we reached the dog that we saw the most terrifying sight - a goblin crossbowman!
They were quickly torn apart, but not before Dumat and Minkot had been filled with bolts. This has been a terrible loss to us, and this day will forever be remembered as the day when innocent blood was spilled for nothing except evil and greed. By all of us. Except Kogan of course.
She will always remember this as "The day I got to chop five heads off!" Some consider it vital that Kogan always manages to keep her spirits up in the face of anything. Personally, it creeps me the fuck out. We've given her a suitable name as a way to honor her and, most importantly, to warn anyone who gets close.
25th Moonstone
Mûthkat finished today. She came out with the finest chainmail I've ever seen. It's so fine, in fact, that noone in the army dares to use it, not even Kogan. She also says that making a silver armor is a once in a lifetime accomplishment, and even though she got extremely skilled in the process, she still has nothing to work with.
5th Opal
Since the goblin assault, Tulon and two guards have used up all the water that was left. We're working on making another water room, but if this keeps up, we will never be able to satisfy the thirst of our wounded unless we come up with something completely different.
27th Opal
The water is
already running out. This is a disaster, but Cog says that she has a plan that will allow us to create immense amounts of water. I overheard her talking with Deduk the other day, Deduk seemed troubled and even more so when she screamed "Fuck physics, we're dwarves!"
I want to get out of here.
