I was hoping we'd get a little more space between people's repeat turns... Of course if nobody else speaks up soon it is better to keep the game going.

3rd Moonstone 308

That philosopher bastard… He has taken my quarters!  Never has he contributed to society, he’s been nothing but a lazy sober sot.  I’ll show him who is in charge, no one does this to me.  Misastis calls to me.  He does not deserve the hazy dunes…  What was that?  Magma?  Yes, yes that sounds brilliant.  He shall be purged by fire.

Under the guise of building a monument to our greatness I have recruited all the unemployed dwarves for my revenge.  Made a series of work orders for blocks and signed them with Banana's stamp.

6th Moonstone 308

Setup a series of temporary mason shops to help with the sudden load of blocks.  Reclaimed my quarters with the promise of grander quarters in the new monument.  That smug bastard of a dwarf simply stared off into space contemplating something… I hate him

A large scale melt down of stray bolts has started.  I explained these work orders as demands from on high for improving our plumbing systems.  This should give me plenty of iron and steel bars for my plans.

11th Moonstone 308


Deinol ambushed during a mining op. He wrecked two of the invaders himself, the others ran into trabs to get away from him.



13th Moonstone 308


Ambush at the “monument” site.  Posted guards proceeded to wreck the goblins.

1st Granite 309

My term starts proper now.  My mega-structure that we have been working on since early winter is well on its way to complete.  Apparently the rat bastard philosopher has been feeling chatty and told several people about his new “quarters” that we are constructing.  The commons have taken to calling it the “Philosopher’s Keep”.  At this rate it should be done well before my term ends.

One massive central drum tower, carved and constructed out of basalt blocks.  Four smaller cylinders, made of polished alunite blocks so they gleam white in the sunlight, rest on the cardinal directions.  The center tower will be capped, likely in olivine, and the cardinal towers capped in cinnabar.  If time permits, the sigils of my god will be engraved on the top of three towers, with my own personal sigil on the southern tower.  Mayhaps even sculptures.  Time will tell.

The philosopher’s treat, however, will remain a secret until its unveiling.

13th Granite

Ambush 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 Granite


Elves.  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.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Also a human crossbowman running around shooting animals.  I think he came in with the goblins.  He’s proving hard to catch.

17th Granite


Animal 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 Slate

Begun digging the mechanics shafts for the pumping operation.  Much of the pump materials have been completed.

27th Slate

Migrants… Could use more peon labor.

9th Felsite:

Sigun Fastenbridged finished an artifact today.  Gubellemis The Bulbous Vines.  49200 dwarfbucks
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

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.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

12th Hematite

First 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.

My spleen!

Hopefully my Super-dwarven constitution lets me pull through. Assuming you bastards remember to bring me water!

We already ARE at war with the humans. I don't think we can declare war twice. Then we'd just look dumb.
