From the Diary of Darvi Sezuktobul, Mason:So I've apparently been appointed overseer of this epic fort. Sweet! I'll try to write anything notable in here so that it may never be forgotten. Now, let's start building that ribbon!
15 TimberAdded a layer to the ribbon. That was easier than expected! Starting the next layer.
16 TimberA dwarven caravan has arrived. As far as I know, there's nothing we lack, so we just had a nice chat and they went back home.
20 TimberThat next layer still isn't finished. However, I have seen our King help with the constructions.
I salute to your majesty!
25 TimberThat part of the ribbon has been finished too. Who said nobles were useless? I sure as hell didn't!
27 TimberAs a gift to our king, I ordered a relief of his face be built in the caverns. Out of gold, of course.
2 MoonstoneWe have struck Microcline! Huzzah!
Oh wait, not Microcline. Adamantine! I ordered the dwarves to mine some of it. Carefully of course. Everybody knows that greedy dwarves die a horrible death.
Also, platinum. I like that stuff, so I had it mined too.
Also, there are some minerals around that I really like. I told the miners to mine the entire area. And shut up about the walls being warm, we're right above the magma sea, for spore's sake, of course they're warm!
8 MoonstoneStarted building the next part of the wall. I was informed that we only have 20 floors left, so I told them to make it out of pure gold. Armok knows we have more than enough of that stuff, and that should flaunt our wealth nicely.
I ordered a stockpile built a few floors beneath the construction yard. That should save the metalsmiths some time hauling around the gold.
I also told them to build a balcony with some statues on them to be built. Once it's done we shall have a magnificent view to the north!
16 MoonstoneWe found a handful of yellow diamonds. Nice.
28 MoonstoneI heard that there was another adamantine vein to the east of the first. However, that ones completely submerged in the magma sea, so we can't reach it. *sadface*
2 OpalGot reports of one of our woodworkers being possessed by a spirit. he has been running around looking for a workshop, but apparently none seem to please him. Ah well.
3 OpalMore platinum, nice.
14 OpalEven more platinum. We should smelt those nuggets one day.
Also, one of our children fell of the top of the tower. Remember kids, that's not a place for playing around!
16 OpalThe stockpile's finished. Haul away boys!
17 OpalDitto for the balcony. It's small, but glorious!
23 OpalThe King's relief has been finished.
The similarities are astounding!
1 ObsidianSomebody informed me that it's the anniversary of our glorious fort! Party time guys!
2 ObsidianAnother accident at the construction yard. Nobody noteworthy died though.
7 ObsidianThe third level of the ribbon is done. I think I'll have a floor out of green glass be built here, imagine that!
8 ObsidianWith the adamantine, I think an adamantine Hammer would be a nice present for our Hammerer.
12 ObsidianWhat the spore do you mean we have no hammerer? We don't even have any military at all? And a forgotten beast that nobody has told me of is rampaging through the mines? Arg! This will end badly I fear.
