Dear Family
Now that my exile is over, I feel that I may stay on for a bit. This place is rather peaceful and the management is rather consistent. We have a disproportionate number of mismatched gloves and are now hoarding steel;
We seem to have a revolving door policy in the Forgotten Beast area of the caverns. As soon as one leaves, another, even stranger looking, arrives and takes up residence. Still only ever four down there.
A delightful interlude occurred when a gremlin was found hovering around some levers. It soon ended well with a little dismemberment, but someone really needs to work out how it got in. Every time I go walking around the deep tunnels, I get lost, and with the racket the FB’s are making, with their partying and loud music, it’s rather intolerable.
Here's a dwarf and his dog being surprised
And here's a dead gremlin.
Administration seems to be the new craze? Perhaps there's something in it...
Anyway, the latest Vile Force of Darkness was fun, even though it did involve some loss. And, of course, someone got moody during the invasion...
Soon turned into
Unfortunately, one of the recruits was struck down in the mayhem. I assume she's been buried somewhere - goodness knows there's enough coffins lying around the fortress.
And, during the invasion, we noticed a strange presence;
Good luck to whoever has to settle THAT ghost. And it wouldn't be a normal mass goblin invasion without;
And that's all from my year! Consolidation, with me being slightly overwhelmed at first, realising I'd never understand all the levers or the layout - I managed to find the magma smelters and the jewellers twice each during the year, and the craftdwarves workshops only once. But I built a new entrance, mined some minerals, built a LOT of bins and tidied up outside a fair bit, only using a little magma. Good luck with the fortress...
