From the journal of Sir Broccoli
1st of Granite, 203: Well, it looks like Sindain is retiring. Since nobody else is willing to become the leader of this place I've decided to step up as the leader. Can't be that hard, can it?
10th of Granite, 203: It looks like the previous leaders liked digging out big rooms and mass-dump the rocks. As a result nobody was getting any work done. I told everybody to stop screwing around and do some actual work for a change.
11th of Granite, 203: My carpenter's workshop is filled with empty barrels and bins. Several other dwarves have complained about their workshops being filled with furniture and crafts as well, so I told them to store it in one of the big empty rooms that my predecessors have dug out.
20th of Granite, 203: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
21st of Granite, 203: Let me rephrase that, three groups of orcs have arrived. Since we only have four dwarfs with military training, one of which is bedridden, I raised the drawbridge.
22nd of Granite, 203: Some numbskull appearantly decided it was a good idea to dig a big, gaping hole in one of our walls and then tell the masons to close it up again.
Unfortunately the masons are a bunch of lazy bums so the hole wasn't being closed. I told the miners to dig a small trench. Not the prettiest solution but at least it keeps the orcs out.
28th of Granite, 203: Well, the orcs are just sitting there doing nothing. I decided that, since I'm the boss of this place now, I deserve a better room so I told the miners to dig one out for me.
8th of Slate, 203: Elf merchants showed up today. The orcs smashed them to a fine paste:
Maybe the orcs aren't that bad after all...
12th of Slate, 203: These orcs are starting to annoy me. If they don't leave soon I'm going to have to build a overly complicated contraption involving a big trench and magma.
Actually, I think I'll build it no matter what.
-----------------------------------------------------
So I've never played dig deeper before. Will these orcs ever leave by themselves or am going to have to kill them.
