Well my turns coming pretty slow, so we'll see where we're at when you come around. I'm sure something will work if you still want to take a turn by that time.
Right, now into character *downs a beer*
-Granite 1, y.1053-I always thought that "n00bs4uce" was a little strange, but since the birth of his daughter he's become even weirder. First off, naming yourself after a four-year old is out of the ordinary to say the least, but he also wants us to keep out of the caverns?! There are untold riches down there, I find it difficult to believe a fellow miner is opposed to extracting such resources. Perhaps since the birth of his child he has become fearful of death? Well I have no such reservations, I'll have the valuable spoils of the earth below if I have to dig a secret tunnel down from my own bedroom!
Luckily it seems my turn has come up in the drawing of community leaders, I'll start by creating a draft. If the caverns are as dangerous as some believe, perhaps this will sway opinion to the fact that they are also quite essential to our continued success.
I have to say our "dining room" has also been bothering me. Not only is it completely cluttered with stones, it's hardly becoming of a party environment. The detailed floors are a complete waste of time if they can't be seen! Among my chief duties will be to clean up the dining hall and make it more impressive.
old dining hall-Granite 20, y.1053-With the new military prescence I've decided to expand the barracks a bit, they need room to train. It's my hope this will ease the minds of everyone and relieve tensions about the further mining of the caves, I don't wish to act impulsively against everyone's wishes after all. The cleaning of the dining hall is also coming along well enough and the engravings ordered by the previous leaders are almost finished. It seems we'll need much more storage area as well, so I've begun digging out some more space for that purpose too. All in all not much has happened so far, but it's looking up at least, which is more than I can say than for my previous experiences.
-Slate 8, y.1053-About a dozen or so migrants arrived today, including a couple of doctors. These should be helpful if anything out of the ordinary occurs, until then they can haul stone like the rest.
-Felsite 3, y.1053-With the extra hands the dining hall is looking quite nice now, I've also constructed a kennel and begun training some of the myriad dogs running around. Assigning them as partners to some of the military as well as our apparently sole hunter. Still, I am beggining to wonder at the fact we haven't seen a caravan so far. Not that I particularly think we need it, we have plenty of food and drink and that alone will let us survive. Still, it would be nice to get some new meat and cheese. Well, I guess I shouldn't complain as long as things are going well, I'm sure there will be plenty of hardships to complain about later.
kennels new dining room-Felsite 8, y.1053-It seems a few injuries have taken place, the piercing howls echo throughout the fort and tell me a hospital is now required. It's now a mad dash in the hopes to create all the necessary equipment in time to prevent permanent incapacitation. My good friend Darkness received minor injury to his ear, however our militia commander Calhoun has unfortunately received multiple fractures to the lower body as a result of training. The
diagnosis tells me his situation is quite dire, I do not plan on allowing him to be the first I lose under my rule, especially not to training!
On a more happy note (I think) Morul Avusākrith managed to give birth to a baby boy while drinking. Perhaps due to this, she almost immediately lost the child. (lost as in couldn't find, not as in it died) Luckily for the boy she had the presence of mind to put down the booze long enough to find him. I wonder some times if we don't put too much reliance on our booze?
