Diary of Sizik II, Galena 1061
We've been so busy lately, I forgot to make a diary entry last month.
The river damming project was a success, even though there was a minor setback at the beginning.
The arena construction continues.
A human caravan has arrived. Hopefully, they'll be carrying something interesting.
A few kobolds were found just inside the fort entrance; the caravan guards took care of them. The entranceway is being modified, as it is currently too easy for thieves to slip into our underground stockpiles unnoticed.

The humans had nothing interesting to offer, except for a few metal bars.
The obsidian maker is being mined out now that the left over magma has cooled down.

The arena is nearing completion.
During the deconstruction of the river damming project, a woodcutter named Graebeard fell to his death.

!!!!!!!!

A moment of silence for his axe.
unless it's recoverable, than all's good.

At least he wasn't in the bedroom with the two miners that got flooded with magma.

A common error. Magma is definitely something that should be pumped near bedrooms. As a space heater!

[Graebeard]

Under normal circumstances, I'd say death by magma is the dwarfier way to go.  With this fortress, though, I think a fall to my death is perfectly appropriate.

This has to have an interesting story behind it.

[Sizik]

When I was digging out the obsidian in the generator, since there two layers, I figured that I would designate ramps on the bottom level, and that would dig out both layers at once. Unfortunately it slipped my mind that this would leave the floor above the second layer intact, so it had to be channeled away afterward. I was clumsy with my channel designations, which resulted in a single floor tile falling down, through the magma in the forge level, and into the bedroom below. Luckily, that square of the bedroom was above a wall, so only the bedroom was affected. As a result, 3 dwarves died: one miner that fell a few levels inside the generator, and two who were in the bedroom, which I think are miners that fell from above, since I didn't see them there when I surveyed the damage after I got the cave in message.

A fireman came up from the caverns. He was quickly dispatched, but not before causing a stonecrafter to bleed to death.
The arena construction is finished. All that's left is the mechanics.

Work has nearly finished on the next floor of the tower, which includes another level of the obsidian generator.
A mason went into a mood, and he requires shells. Shells which we do not have. I've even tried send the fisherdwarves down into the caverns, but to no avail.

Sign me up for the next available slot please. This fortress is just too epic.

Diary of Sizik II, Obsidian 1061
Well it's the end of the year. The arena is complete, although it has has not been tested yet. Also, about three or four miners died during obsidian excavation.

Arena:

The levers on the second level control the access bridges below.
The levers on the third level open the bridges to the retrapping area.
The eastern arena is designed for containing building destroyers.

River dam:


Map and Save

Next up is IronVanguard.

[Graebeard]

So.  Many.  Levers.

God forbid some gremlin (or inexperienced player) makes his way up there...
