Sorry this update came so late, I got totally wrapped up in a megaproject on another fort.

Zas' stomach grumbled. It'd been longer than he could remember since he'd had a meal that he hadn't foraged from a plant. As he looked around, he noticed several wild horses nearby.
"Ah!" he thought, "I could build a kennel with some of this spare wood.... and then capture those horses, and tame them, and maybe they'll breed, and I can have a stable food supply!"
"On second thought, I'm just going to whack one with my pick."
This was not Zas' brightest idea. Looking back, he was glad none of the council had seen what happened next, because he would never live it down.
In a word, horses are fast. And dwarves, well.... dwarves are not.
As Zas took off towards the horses, and picked one out from the herd, they all bolted in different directions. Zas tried to get close enough to swing his pick, which led to a sort of retarded game of tag.
"Come 'ere, ya horse!"
"Aggghhh!!!!!"
"Almost gotcha!"
"Just a little closer! Don't be afraid, horse! I just want to eat your family! Horse!!! Get back here! HORSE!!"
Surviving out here was going to be harder than Zas expected.
Meanwhile, he had finally gotten to work on his little surprise for when the others returned. Since he wasn't going to have as much time as he would like, he would have to creative....
First, he was going to need mechanisms. Lots of mechanisms.
Next, he mined out a tunnel, and starting building at the end. What dark plans could he have drafted, sitting alone in his room at night?
A lever? This is madness!

Just a quick sneak preview of the next update:
So? What do YOU think is going to happen next?
