So, some more fun appeared:
Osnusm the Evil Sucker. Oddly appropriate name for a gigantic tick. He caused no trouble to the fortress, mostly because he made his entrance through the barracks. From the reports I received, it's "deadly dust" did little more than obscure vision as the military flung it across the room a few times till it died.
We're very low on wood. This is because most of it goes to fuel the smelters and the forge so they can make components for the magma pump shaft, ironically so we won't need wood to fuel them. I've ordered most of the surface to be clear cut and the deepest cavern too, since it seems rather isolated and uninhabited. Interesting flora down there. We have to make sure to grab every scrap of wood the caravans bring too. Except for that crappy elven wood armor. Seriously, why do we have so much of that? Wooden chainmail? You might aswell wear a vest made of cheese. Useless hippies. Not even the humans will buy that crap. Oh, one of the masons snapped. After a month or two of screaming at every passing dwarf that he wanted unspecified body parts and a bunch of other stuff THAT WAS RIGHT ACROSS THE HALL, dumbass, he started foaming at the mouth. We locked the doors before he was able to lunge at anyone. When the screaming stops we'll have to check on him.
Even though it's only been half a year since leadership was thrust upon me, I feel it's time to step down. I was just a random peasant, but it seems I've found my calling as a miner, and also as a grand scale architect. I've designed a nice scalable bedroom system beneath the main production level, which whoever follows me can copy and expand as needed. Still, it's going to be a LONG time before the pump shaft is complete, and I haven't even started on the power requirements. Perhaps if I divert the brook into a series of tunnels leading down to one of the caverns, I could set up a series of water wheels... Oh well, not my problem anymore. I've left a note on my desk informing the next poor sap who walks in here that they're in charge. I think I'll lurk somewhere outside so I can hear their reaction before I head back into the shaft.

If you are reading this note, it means you have accepted leadership of this fortress. Ha! If you try and get out of this, or mess with my tomb, I will make sure you witness the operation of the magma shaft from a rather,
unique perspective. I've laid the groundwork for the shaft, so you should be able to see what I was doing. If you can't figure it out, come find me, but remember that if you do I will have to break something, probably you. Don't screw it up.
Also there's an artifact bed in storage. That's reserved for our King if he ever visits. Or Queen. I forget which one's in charge. Have Fun!

That's me done. I need to sleep. The pumps in the shaft will need to be walled off from the stairs before the whole system is started, otherwise magma will leak into the stairwell. Also you should put a hatch on the bottom level and seal it. As for the bedrooms, copy down and try to copy for the areas west and south of the main stairwell.
BTW if the next guy doesn't show up I'll see if I can finish the shaft myself, if that's cool.
