From the journal of Ravus Maniacus, Year 30827th GraniteI have been sent to SparkGear as its new overseer, and even as I approach the fortress, I have already noticed something horribly, horribly wrong.
SparkGear's famed pyramid is not truly pyramidial.
Something must be done about this. All masons have been ordered to rebuild the pyramid.
28th GraniteI just realised that the fortress only has 33 dwarves, and there is one mason.
Fuck.
Did I mention that about half of them have horrific wounds?
and that there are terrifying demons sealed within the bowels of the fortress?
Truly this place is cursed. I will nevertheless endeavour to make something out of this sorry mess.
1st SlateI have designated all narrow clothing in the fortress to be dumped in magma. As of currently, they are nothing more than a waste of space.
The mayor, a certain Brak Obama, keeps insisting on conducting a meeting. With whom, I have no idea. Everybody else in the fortress is busy working.
I will not tolerate slackers in this fortress, especially when we teether on the brink of destruction. If he keeps up this behaviour, he is going to have a little accident, perheaps several little accidents...
4th SlateA planter has created a legendary artifact!
Completely useless, but at least we got a legendary woodcrafter.
Expansion of the living quarters has been halted. The way things are going, we won't need any more bedrooms anytime soon.
5th SlateWhat's this?
I hereby conclude the previous rulers of the fortress to be utterly insane.
In other news, Brak Obama just got thrown into prison for destroying the door to his own office. Serves him right, too.
9th SlateSome migrants have arrived despite the danger - 15 dwarves, including the dungeon master and philosopher. Its not much, but we need all the manpower we can get.
There appear to be several mason's workshops scattered throughout the fortress, seemingly at random. All are set to repeatedly construct rock coffins. I will inquire as to which previous overseer is responsible for this.
