Day 40...
Kogs checks the wounded, they are healing adequatly, except for Urist. he is bedridden and fades in and out of conciousness. He complains of chills while having a fever, he does not sweat, and his eyes look a bit yellowish while his irises look a lighter shade. His Condition has fallen precipitously. He has trouble speaking.
Thereafter, Kogs goes out to bring in the puma. it is trapped in a tiny cage, for its size, and its cage is surrounded by a zombie lobster and a skeletal fish. The puma Lashes out at them but neither can get in or out. Kogs comes back with a knobbed stick and drags the puma into the fortress from a safe distance. Kogs drags it along the ground and it catches on a rock, nearly tipping the cage over and rattling the locking mechanism, but he makes it into the storeroom with the live puma, it is a little skinny, and eats whatever scraps are thrown to it by Kogs as he attempts to tame it. The hours pass by and Kog intuits that the animal is beggining to warm up to him but it would be fool hearty to release it yet.
Kogs finishes the day dragging his bedding and supplies to the basement where he sleeps and eats, admiring the fine table. (+mood -tired)
Nirur makes 4 stone doors yeah! then 6 blocks yeah! (-10 stone)
Cheddarius works in the fields, there is a cluster of withered crops near the tower, how odd. There must be some cause. He plants units of pig tails (+4 planted pig tails, +2 stone tables, -2 rock) He the ngoes on to work long, carefully creating 2 more rock tables, he goes easy on himself and later seems to reap the rewards, because once he hits the bed after eating, he feels much much better, hardly sore at all. He thinks hes back into shape, full range of motion, and he even tests his bruises and arm with a one handed pushup or two. (-7 planted plant units) During the communal dinner Everyone enjoys their meals sitting around the 8 way table. When Hrodegr Bursts in. He lowers his head through the basement hatch and yells "What is going on down here? Tha Field is witherin' before my very eyes up there! Thar is bad stuff goin on in these parts! I knew you should've respected the dead and let them lie in peice! I bet its that Blasphemous table ye made out of yer very brothers still warm bones! It is Cursed I tells ya! and I'll have no part of it! Enjoy your grisly feast you ghouls! That murky swamp water is messing with yer heads Is what im thinkin. It is plainly feeding on the life-force out there or somesuch. Bad things will come of this!"
Garul enjoys a hearty breakfast at THE TABLE. it is quite admirable work, he goes on to **INSTALLS 2 DOORS INTO PERIMITER WALL** , and linking them up to "the controll room" (-1 rope -3 mechanism)
Hrodegr works some leather in his workshop, (-2 leather +pairs of Fine Dwarven Leather-High-Boots 160$ each pair), and skips stones from the wall into the swamp.
Adwarf Patrols , he patrolls for 16 hours... His travel takes him all about the immediate area, Finding a nest of subterranean angry carnivorous hornets on the volcano-side. They are far from the fortress though , and should pose no threat, he files the area into memmory and decides to explore the other way instead. he heads north instead, Where he spots a distant shape in the twilight hours, merely a few minutes from the fortress, he sneaks closer and is surprised to see a wooden cab drawn by a yak. It is accompanied by staff wielding cloaked fuigures. And it heads along the swampside, only a stones throw away. It travels slowly on its wheels, and should reach the fortress on its current course before sunrise...
Moods....
Prepare for Night 40...
