4th of Malachite, mid-summer 201.
The construction of the guard tower is doing well. Granite from the workshops is used to build its walls.
We have already started construction the second floor, walling it with fortifications.
The undead beasts wandered off the fields, hopefully not to be seen again.
8th of Malachite, mid-summer 201.
We have new wildlife. Reshus Macaques wandered too close to our camps. Really, really close. They seem friendly. Heck, our craftdwarf, , have been feeding one with berries he collected.
We have no rangers, but we will not deny this opportunity when it appears. I nudged Edem, our butcher. He understood, passed the word along.
So we regrouped, heartily singing our warcry, and chased down those cowardly beasts, wrestling and slaughtering every single last one. .
We'll be having Reshus Macack meat pie tonight, probably served with dwarven ale.
10th of Malachite , midsummer 201
Urdrim, our craftdwarf, have started crafting stuff from the bones of the Macaques. This will be handy when the caravan will pass by.
25th of Galena, late summer 201
The desert sun was so intense I've decided to take a quick dip in the nearby pool. It was such a sudden, strong urge I had no choice but to obey it.
To my dismay, I forgot to build an exit stairway, so I had no way to get out.
Our mason, Vabōk, has taken the spare pick and undertook the task of "saving me from a watery death". Watery Death? What nonesense! The water was just righteously refreshing, and it was just right to teach me a bit of swimming. I officially declared this spot to be our swimming pool.
Undwarfly maybe, but so undoubtly refreshing. A drawbridge should be perfect for this.
