Alright, so this was an... interesting time. Let's start at the beginning.
Summer 206
Arriving, I first notice that there's no idlers. I guess that's a product of having less than a dozen dwarves. So I start off my turn beckoning in migrants with wealth.
I call in the legendary stone detailer from his duty of smoothing the mountain and task him with engraving pretty much the entire inside of the fort with his masterpieces. I sent out exploritory miners and was lucky enough to strike gold and bauxite.
Autumn
Well, this is boring. Suspiciously boring. The dwarves go about their work, I have a few cage traps constructed outside, forgetting about the smart trap-resistant orcs. Some migrants arrive at the end of the season, seeking shelter from the incoming winter. About eight workers and almost none with any useful skills. Milkers, potash makers, dyers, and peasants. I gave them new, useful labors to fill in the apparently missing metal-industry laborers.
Winter
Boring boring boring. I sure do wish something would happen...
Oh look! An orc siege! Oh fuck! There's like fifty of them to our five soldiers...
It's turtle time! Luckily we have underground fields, a river, and huge pre-existing food stocks. This will be a cake walk.
Spring
And it was a cake walk. The orcs finally got bored and left and I let the gates back open. It's about time, too. That engraver guy was running out of space to engrave. I let him back out to carve up the mountainside.
I also set up statues everywhere in the fort after having the mason pump a few out to pass the winter. It should be enough to make them forget all the vomit they're going to be producing when i let them out. They'd be drinking from golden goblets, too, if they'd just stop drinking all the booze from the barrels.
Without much else to do, I decided to designate the construction of a... modest tomb for myself. I guess it's big enough that you could possibly throw a few other noble coffins in if your really want.
Late spring a few more than twenty migrants came. There's rooms for them, just need to make some beds. I didn't have time to designate them new labors, so that'll be up to my predecessor. Also, there's a sheriff that needs assignment. Please try not to forget.
With that, I pass the fort onto you. I'll think continue fishing until it comes time to take a rest in my casket.
