14th Hematite,
I've noticed that these stairwells are getting rather crowded. I'll likely need a better system of transportation before this year is through. Hopefully something over the central shaft.
2nd, Malachite, I was assured work continues on the stairwell. I spent the past month locked behind some door. After beating for several days on the loamy walls, somebody came and unlocked the door. I would have mined my way out, but I was inside the 'no mining thanks to magma and water death' zone. So yes, looks like I'll need a good drink after this.
Also, it seems I was elected mayor during the time I was away. I really don't know how or why, as I never so much as made friends beyond passing acquaintances here. Then again, the election committee that met me at the entrance to my quarters was a bit queer. A bunch of military dwarves and the old mayor, as well as Time Kitten. They seemed rather strange, as if this came as no surprise. I'll be keeping my eyes on them. It is strange that after being locked away with no explanation I'm elected mayor.
10th Malachite,
Our greatest marksdwarf gave birth to a boy today. Also, I started the building of my quarters by my tomb. The stairwell is going swimmingly. Hopefully I can get some peace from these military dwarves pestering me about how a mayor needs proper quarters.
Seems a bit queer. Thankfully, I don't sleep anymore. No need to worry about any shenanigans in the night. I mandated some plate mail to be made, so that I and some civilians who would possibly help me will be safe from whatever is going on.
2nd Galena,
Well, sandbags are full. This means nonstop glassmaking. This will do better than previous attempts, as I found a glassmaker still making gem-grade glass as opposed to blocks of the stuff. I using as much as what is produced on the new stairs, which should hopefully allow future rulers to construct greater things.
Also, it appears my plan to bridge over the magma has failed. I suppose I should make the bridge of Obsidian, just to see if it works. A friend of mine is planning a city in the skies, and he needs to know if such a bridge would work. The sad thing is, I didn't find any of these plans crazy at all.
Am I really sane now? Really?
19th Galena,
Egads, the folly is mine! A selection of old stonework I told the peasants to deconstruct has collapsed! The falling chunk of floor pierced through the pancake of a fortress we have and got into the magma pipe, where a fountain of lava spewed fourth! It missed the seal by only a single tile, and had the wall of the seal been broken the entire workshops and a good area of the bedrooms would be under magma now. Not to mention other, more evil things would have had a chance to break free...
Autumn has come, and with it my hopes that my bridge plan for traders has ended. Perhaps if I can somehow get water up there. Alas, that is beyond my engineering abilities. I had the drainage bridge opened, and found the shaft my window looks into is the spillway for said magma. In fact, by it's light I now write this. It feels like ages has past since spring, but I hope that the rest of the year may come without event or delay.
