What?! I'm the Dungeon Master! Or did you purposefully do that? And it seem I'm going to become a glutton in this succesion game, joy!

Oops, so you are.  You were just right under the baron consort on the noble screen.  What happened to the baronness?  Anyway, fixed now.  Sort of.  I wouldn't have done the glutton thing had I realized you weren't the bad noble.

[Demonic Spoon]

The gluttony is funny, you can continue with that if you want to.

Who made a cat-based pressure plate randomizer?  I don't remember anyone mentioning it.

Also, there's a spot that looks like it's meant for magma smelters and forges, but only has one forge, no smelters.  It's on Japa's floor.  Want me to finish that up, Japa? (We can do small things like that, right?)

4th of Slate: After breaching the magma pipe, I set my miners to clear it out to make a nice square room. They get attacked by imps shortly, and Tossid Fissureguilds gets pretty badly burnt on his left side. the imps are taken care of, however. I then decide to use this room for an arena of death. the floor will be covered with hatches, which will be remoteley opened by a wandering kitten. captives will be forced to fight to the death in that room

I'm pretty sure you can build some workshops there, or set up a pumping system to bring the magma to your level.

[LegoLord]

Oh.  And I had just read that, too. 
Okay, building forges.  Anyway, just to start things off:

Legon’s journal
1st Granite, Spring 129
I nearly choked on a rock nut.  The Dungeon Master saved me and then made me overseer.  I don’t know why.  Later she complained her food was rotting.  I told this other guy, the manager, to make more barrels.  The Spoon tells me our artifacts are all over the place.  So I pulled out the plans for the vault old grandaddy Legon back home where there were demons.  We’re building it.  Needs water somewhere.

14th Granite, Spring 129
Two thieves made an attempt on our treasures.  This scared the masons, so they stopped working on grandaddy Legon’s vault.  They’re stupid.  Sogan the miner ran right into a bunch of goblins right near the entrance.  Unib the engraver killed the hammergob and a wrestler.  The other goblins surrounded Sogan.  He killed one, then the other four broke all his limbs and killed him.  Stupid.

17th Granite, Spring 129
[panicked writing that looks vaguely obscene]!!1!l!  Get me out of here!  The Elves are here!  No one said I’d have to deal with elves!  I don’t wanna be eaten!

Legon’s Journal
5th Slate, Spring 129
I write hurriedly, too much happening.  Must prepare to deal with elves, who are now at depot.  Ballista being built.  Walls too.  Mayor sentenced gem cutter to beating for not making some crap.  Xaque does so, kills gem cutter.  Jerk.  Back to work now.

12th Slate
Due to the lack of mechanics, siege engineers, and siege operators, Imush and I are no longer allowed to do any hauling or cleaning.  Any new engineers must follow this rule for my term.

The ballista went right over the elves’ heads.  Imush is no longer trusted with siege operating.  A peasant will be trained to replace him.  Trash hall is being modified into a training facility for the peasant.

22nd Slate
There are too many cats!  They must all be butchered ASAP.

1st Felsite, Spring 129
A new baron and tax collector arrived today, along with migrants.  They say they came even though they “knew this place may be their tomb.”  I don’t get it.  It goes without saying your tomb is going to be in the mountain you live in.  Anyway, we now have more engineers, but still not enough.

22nd Felsite
They called me crazy, but look who’s crazy now!!  The look on the elves’ faces as the pleaded to be let go, as they claimed they meant no harm, was simply wondrous!!!  And now they’ve cracked, finally cracked!!  Some are made, others said, and one is down right berserk, killing all the others.  They can’t eat me now!!  Hahahaha!!!

[Demonic Spoon]

Grow a backbone you sissy! Deal with those bastard elves like a REAL dwarf would!

[Rose]

pfft.

we have a drawbridge of a reason

and if you manage to somehow cage them....

[Demonic Spoon]

Hehe. Elven zoo anyone?

[crash2455]

Map Uploaded, go and add some PoI:

[Demonic Spoon]

Added some POI. And remember, you can make the fields fallow if you want to...

[crash2455]

And remember, you can make the fields fallow if you want to...

Sorry, what does this sentence mean?

[Demonic Spoon]

There are plenty of unharvested plants on the fields, I assume it's because the stockpiles are full. I"m telling the poeple to make the fields fallow(as in, not growing anything) rather than cause flies from rotting plants that cause unhappy thoughts.

[crash2455]

*Reads up on crop rotation*

Ah.  I never knew what that meant.  I just always increased the size of my food stockpile (see: Boardwhip).

[Demonic Spoon]

Oh, didn't know you didn't know what fallow means.

[LegoLord]

I edited the rest of the spring season into my last post and spoilered it for space.  This post will have summer on it.  I want to keep you updated, but don't want to clutter up the thread too much with a lot of posts.

10th Hematite, Summer 129
Goblins have come!  They want my vault plans!!  They must!!  There’s no other fathomable explanation for their sudden arrival!!!  KILL THEM MY WARRIORS Oh right this is a book.  The warriors shall be sent to destroy them!!!!

11th Hematite
I’m having the hammerer’s new room carved out across the stairway from my vault.  Jails will be through his room, with statues and pictures and water and beds and, and, maybe not water.  Bye!

14th Hematite
Our wrestlers tossed the goblins around like toys that bleed!!  Zulban Pointyroofs the Peaceful Recluse of Laboring killed the hammerlord, so he’s getting that guys hammer and better armor.

19th Hematite
Humans have arrived and are unloading their goods!?  Bah, I say, BAH!!!  They’re after my plans . . . I HAVE NOT PATENTED THEM YET!!!  Until then I must protect them . . . yes . . . protect.

27th Hematite
An Yortomes the Past Poetry the Titan has claimed this place as his home!!  We cannot let him!!  His hands are too callused and brutal to handle my machines!!!

The events of the 5th Malachite, Summer 129
The apprentice merchant finally stood up to his master on this day, saying “Master, it’s terrible here.  They’ve boxed us in for ‘protection,’ there are babbling and rotting dead elves in here, and no one’s even come to trade with us yet!  In fact, I think the doors are locked!  Look!”  He shook the door knob to demonstrate.  “No one has brought out any trade goods, either.

“Calm down, boy,” the master said, “I heard there was a Titan out there.  If that is indeed the case, then I am happy to be in-”

*CLUNK*

At that moment a ballista bolt flew into the room through a fortification.  It tore right through the master, then several others.  Many of the humans were maimed or dead from the shot, but the wagons went unharmed.  The apprentice heard a manic voice whisper outside; “damn, survivors . . .”

[Demonic Spoon]

Damnit, I wanted to get some sunberries from the elves before someone started killing them. And who killed so many citizens that we get that message now? And what do you have against traders? Gah! I hope they will still come next year...
