=Timber 23, y.54=I feel as though I'm being incredibly redundant, but another kitten was killed by yet another batman today. I'll never understand why they insist on venturing out of the fort and frolicking across the dangerous terrain, does the threat of death intice them? It seems our emergency food stocks are now obsolete, so hopefully we can get some good trading in the next year or so to make up for it. We're down to a single dog, horse, and mule, none of which can breed with each other of course. Looks like its plump helmets all around for a while, I wonder what those elephants taste like?
=Moonstone 22, y.54=Winter sets in and much attention has been turned to moving our stocks inside the fort. It's hard to believe we still have scores of items just sitting out in the daylight. A few adamantine wafers have been formed, but I'm still not sure on what I really want to do with them. Perhaps they are too valueable for a simple suit of armor, or exquisite sword. Besides I doubt Calhoun will really be able to tell the difference between a simple iron armor and adamantine anyway.
=Opal 4, y.54=Someone swears they saw a goblin thief across the chasm earlier. I had to wonder why the hell they were even going near that place anymore. Seeing as there's practically nothing to steal here, I don't know why it would be a big deal anyway. Then again, he could be just checking things out for a larger force to come later. I'd better go see what the deal is...
What the hell?! He's just standing there like some statue or something, does he really think being green gives him some natural camouflage or what? If we had more than two bolts I'd send Calhoun to take care of the punk, but we're better off saving that for batmen and, Solon protect us, elephants.
=Granite 1, y.55=We have settled fairly well into the mountain and everyone seems in good spirits at least. Though we have had no newcomers somehow work has been pushing ever onward. Private (or semi-private) bedrooms are being carved out now, and while the fort seems somewhat haphazardly thrown together, with more hands it could be easily sorted out. Of course there is stone everywhere as we have had little time to clean up. Still, I'm confident that the higer-ups are on to something in choosing this area for us. From a resulting arm-wrestling match, Wilsonns shall take command of the fort beginning today. I wish him luck. From here on, I am simply a miner/furnace operator and am happy to do so. Especially working with my precious adamantine.
{So you can see not much happened for the last few months, now Wilsonns is up, the save is here:
Dyebraves y.54 , and here's the trade agreement with the dwarves if you're interested, I started a couple flasks.
trade agreement y.54 I doubt you will, but if you need any info/help let me know. Luck be with you
, Also, if you could, let me know of job changes and deaths so I can update the OP. Otherwise I'll get it from the end-year save.}
