I have come.
Sent forth by the Demonic Spoon clan, I Demonic Spoon the V have come to the last known location of a survivng member of the nahkh line. MY goal is to set up a powerbase for the Demonic Spoon's at this no doubt eventful fortress.
Outrage:
I've had enough of these substandard quarters that have been assigned me, it's time to seize control of this fortress! Especially with the previous ruler being stark raving mad...
Progress and industry:
I have started setting up a glass industry in order to construct my quarters, they shall be the shiniest in all the land. To this effect I have made a magma reservoir for the glass furnace and kiln
Signs from armok:
Our resident glassmaker had a secretive mood and made a green glass coffin. Clearly this is a blessing from armok, showing that my course of glassiness is correct and that I need not fear death for he will protect me from it.
Walk on the suface:
Today I was stuck be a strange need to take a walk out side. As I walked I noticed some twisted trees who's shadows seemed to have...a life of their own, these trees touched me deeply for some reason, and I decided that not one of them shall be cut down. As I continued my walk I came acoss some ant colonies. i admired the ant's determination and decided that I would give them a helping hand. On my way back into the fortress I suddenly felt prickles of fear running down my spine. I turned around, from the river, glaring balefully at me was 2 dozen carp. And I knew fear. Running back into the fortress I set up plans for the damming of the river, which would lead to the suffocation of the vile carp as they flopped around in the dry streambed.
Damming of the river:
Went smoothly. All but one of the dreadful carp are dead
Dwarven caravan:
All trading went smoothly
Siege:
As I was busy contemplating the glumprongs(as I had later learned they were named) I suddenly heard shouts and screams from above, a dwarf came running to me and informed me that an orc siege force had arrived! No worries I thought, we could simply drown them using the drowning trap installed by the previous rulers. And then I saw a problem, We had altered the flooding trap in a bid to breach the Aquifier with obsidian but this had sadly failed, but afterwards we had forgotten to restore it, it would flood the forges if we used it now! Quickly I ordered the entrance on the side the orcs had been spotted sealed. But alas there was another squad we were unaware of that killed a herbalist before our champions dealt with it. Angered by the loss of a good dirt grubber I ordered the champions to lay waste to the rest of the orcs alive. Non were left standing
Ant colonies:
Protected by fortification and with roofs over their heads the ants can labor away in peace without fear of trampling feet all over their colonies.
Goblin ambushes:
There were several goblin ambushes during the course of spring, the champions dealt swiftly with them all.
Quarters Progress Report:
Work on flooring over the magma pipe with clear glass blocks continues, a fire imp tried attacking the workers but was quickly annihilated by the champions standing guard, I ordered some cage traps placed.
Humans:
We have succsessfully trade with the humans, getting rid of some of our many trade goods. We also now have way too much food so I ordered the stockpiles to be enlarged.
Rebellion:
I can hear the dwarves muttering behind my back, oh yeas, only my glumprongs understand, their just jealous of me. Of my greatness. They can't stand to have someone as awesome as me in control. So what if a dozen or so dwarves are dead? They're going to rebel soon, I know it. I will bide my time and retire to my half finished quarters. Until they time is ripe...
