No! you've only drawn attention to it!
Day 21...
The blood gnats are out in force once again, but otherwise the day is quiet, perhaps too quiet. The meeting ended without a clear agreed upon plan, the only thing that was clear was to name the fortress Magmasparkles.
Azurist digs out a small bedroom, at the end of the hallway, passing by two unused and unclaimed bedrooms. Taking matters into his own hands, he digs out a potential farming area. Chipping away halfhazardly, he breaches into a small empty space, a narrow crack. Making the classic dwarven mistake of peering in, a cave slime leaps at his face! recoiling back just in time to save his beard, the slime plops down on his chest and dissolves his tunic. Azurist slaps it down onto the floor and runs away. Returning with a torch to set it on fire, the only sure way to get rid of those things. But he cannot find it... he is glad he is not sleeping tonight, he does not even have a door to protect him during his sleep! The farming area is about half done, and produced no stone. Azurist dug out lots, and the new farm area is the biggest room yet.
Garul claims one of the unused bedrooms, and sets up a carpentry workshop outside, working on a simple stone as a workbench, he sucessfully makes a feeble cot fit to sleep on and folds the tent over it. One of the unused bedrooms becomes a mechanics workshop after he quickly sets up a working area. Its mostly just a rock with Garuls tools besides it, but Garul gets to work immediatly and manages to complete a single mechanism in the remaining time, drilling out the center gearhole he admires his first work.
Revist gets to making some beds and makes 3 beds out of 3 wood. The only thing is that he has to work outside in the sun BLECH! Next he takes up his crossbow and has his Half-Wolves (compromise) go out hunting with him, but he reconsiders and leaves the pups behind. Sneaking out farther and farther, he detects tracks of a potentialy edible creature, an alligator. Following the tracks to the swamps edge, he follows the perimiter and shoots what could be a log, luckily it was in fact an alligator, and he hauls back a dead alligator. he gets back just in time to pat his pets on the head once each before going to bed just in time.
Nirur makes a door, looks down and sees that he made two accidently somehow he is that good. After installing the door he finishes about a third of the roof over his tower.
Urist hobbles around camp until he find the doc to look at his foot. It seems that the tiny plant had an acidic bite, but the wound is only minor and should heal on its own, no need for bed rest, but it wouldn't hurt. Urist rests and rubs his foot anyways. And the crazy Idea to dig up the plant while it is hibernating to digest its meal and use it for fortress defence somehow crosses his mind, it could be dug up and cultivated or hauled. it would require a shovel, a huge meal for the plant, and a wooden handcart or wheelbarrow.
Nanothnir goes off gathering herbs, with the surrounding area completely barren he dicides to check out the volcano slope. At first there is nothing to gather, but climbing up a long way, he dicovers a rocky shelf with quarry bushes hiding hiding in some cravasses and gathers 2 weeks worth of rock nuts, but he also can see the fire imps dancing near the volcano peak glowing in the distance. After resting, broken up with archery practice, he checks out the fortifications, eventually ending up passing out during guard duty due to a weak will.
Hrodegr stands about for a bit and seems to ignore the other dwarves as he goes about familiarizing himself with the fortress. he is seen rummaging through the stocks and dragging a stone bedframe to the incompleted bedroom and making it his. He sets up a leatherworkers shop on the outskirts and sleeps.

During the day, Nanothnir concludes his inspection of the fort, in his opinion, there is no good area for a wall. Not only is the volcano slope very steep, but the fortress workshops extend right up to the waters edge. A gatehouse would work best incorporated into the fortress entrance into the mountain. and towers are already being built. Asking around, nobody else has the milling skill.
