My last few months I kind of just waited out, not doing much. So a lot of guys are probably just standing around. I also hope you guys check the original post every once in a while, 'cause I spend a lot of time editing that. If not, here's the video of Aroz' attack (also posted in OP)
http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-2171-deathofaroz2Here's my final words:
-Opal 2, y.1053-Sam Fisher passed on a few weeks ago. Otherwise life has largely gone back to normal. The memorial statue garden is being completed, my hope is to raise everyone's spirits with it. Many statues related to the founding of our civilization, and it's leaders adorn the hall. Before long the memory of the brutal attack will fade. Traps have also been set all around the entrance to the caves, they should stop anything down there.
-Opal 11, y.1053-Here, months after the order was given, we have finally managed to have all of the components in place to create 10 blocks of soap. Originally I asked for these to help cleaning the wounds of our patients in the hospital. Now it seems they weren't needed after all. (though the gangrene of Darkness' ear is quite disturbing) Still, I'm happy the order was completed. Now I don't have to build a prison.
-Opal 14, y.1053-Oh great, now another, Gil Grissam, has become possessed. He wandered off from working on the statue garden and claimed a glassworkshop. Strange, but hopefully he can find those things he needs, or our quickly filling crypt will have another inhabitant.
-Obsidian 12, y.1053-Though the outpost liason has been chasing Azulth for months now, he has seen fit to attend Edward Scissorhand's party in the garden. He now seems to be actively avoiding the poor dwarf, running around the other side of the statues when he gets close.
-Obsidian 19, y.1053-Some simple goblin thief has been attempting to make his way inside. Once simply scared off by a dog, now smashed by a stonefall trap, he's wandering dazed while being attacked by Datan the dog. Still alive, but for how long? He's lucky for not actually making it inside, that's where the real war dogs are.

-Obsidian 23, y.1053, final entry-While there's not much going on anyway, there seem to be some early Dorfmas/New Year parties going on. One continues in the statue garden, while one has begun today in the dining hall. Still the liason defiantly follows Azulth in the hope he will turn around and finalize our agreement with them. And as a gift to us all, he has lifted the ban on export of glass windows. Happy Dorfmas!
Wooo! This party's gettin' craazaay!
On another note, this shall be my final month directing the operations of the fort. I am glad to have gotten a few constructions completed, even with a tragedy such as we had. Still we lost few, it could have been much worse. A word to my successor, there are plenty of notes around to assist you, should you need them. I have had quite a few different metals smelted, but not much has been done with them. I prefer the simplicity and predictability of stone, so use them as you wish. We have hit a floor above magma, and there's plenty of bauxite if you feel confident in using it. Finally, there are throves of animals around, and a quite empty zoo. You may wish to cage some of them and temporarily display them there. I'll now return to the mines, good luck.
==End of journal==And some more stonesense, because I'm picture-happy
I love my statue garden, it's so colorful for nothing but stone. I wanted to get some of the green ones in there though.
Speaking of statues, when setting up for the garden, I forgot to take statues off of repeat in the mason shop. So we ended up with way too many, I've been setting them at the end of basically every hall and, of course in the dining hall.
Where all of our dwarves will end up eventually, T_T*sob*
