This fortress is WAY too successful. We need some sieges or forgotten beasts or something.
No gobbos, so I'll see what I can do about megabeasts. I WON'T be opening the HFS,
that didn't go so well last time. EDIT: we have two now, and two more dead.
(I claimed the ONLY baby in the fort)
Diary of "Urist the Red," Baron of the Tower, 1st Granite 1059
This journal shall be written down at the first opportunity. I cannot currently do so, as I am unskilled in the use of my arms. I have become aware that there are two strange and fantastic creatures roaming the depths. My mother calls them "Forgotten Beasts." One is an enormous three-eyed cricket-elephant-frog thing, and the other is a gigantic serpent with external ribs. It has thin wings of stretched skin and a bloated body. Its dark tan scales are oval-shaped and set far apart. It's secreting a noxious gas. Lying between them is a deposit of the most beautiful cyan material. the dwarves refer to it as microcline, and tell me that it is worthless. I am not referring to that dull rock. I speak of the shining blue metal strands embedded in it.

Apparently my father has a very important task to perform - burial rites for last year's ruler upon his death. I have also come to a startling realization: Our magma pumps are vulnerable. Beasts such as the ones currently infesting our third cavern layer could easily destroy them, causing magma to spread over a fairly large area. Also, we have three bars of forgotten beast soap somewhere.

I have ordered the production of as many green glass spikes as we can make. My plan is to build a giant corridor of them to use in my efforts to destroy those beasts.
