13th GraniteAmbush again. A peasant working on the Keep, Datan Ringedtributes was caught without guards nearby. He will not be down for breakfast.
Two proceeded to charge a Mason, Rovod Oakenlens. The champions arrived shortly thereafter.
Either by guards, dogs, or traps, they are all dead. Some of them were wearing iron armor. It looks as though we may have a steady supply of metal soon.
15th GraniteElves. And an ambush at an exploratory mining site. Zaneg Wildnessknives, a peasant, and Alrth Lancecity, a miner, were caught. Both perished. Sibrek Spellgilds was their next target. Being a miner of legendary renown, he was a better challenge and survived until the guards arrived to assist.
Mestthos Humorstakes has apparently made an artifact statues. Eralosor The Luxurious Kingdom. 43800 dwarfbucks. I think I’ll make a statue garden with it around a magma pool or something.
Also a human crossbowman running around shooting animals. I think he came in with the goblins. He’s proving hard to catch.
17th GraniteAnimal hunting bastard is dead. Judging by the massive amount of trophies he had he was quite an accomplished hunter. Lots of macaque bone and leather trinkets.
10th SlateBegun digging the mechanics shafts for the pumping operation. Much of the pump materials have been completed.
27th SlateMigrants… Could use more peon labor.
9th Felsite:Sigun Fastenbridged finished an artifact today. Gubellemis The Bulbous Vines. 49200 dwarfbucks
Humans have also sent a diplomat today. Not quite sure how to respond to him. Although I hear tell he skipped the proper overseer of the mines and went straight to the Goddamn Count. There are mutterings of peace.
12th HematiteFirst cave in of the Philosopher’s Keep. Deinol was caught in the accident, and it does not look good. Poor bastard is going to be laid up for a while. And damnit, this delays the mining operations I needed done.
