Cog’s Journal, 26th of Galena, 322Today was rather amusing. A Kobold sneaking into our fortress found himself in the military training barracks right in front of one of the squads. He screamed in terror when he realized where he was. Naturally he didn’t last long. My only big concern about this is rather than thieves tools he was carrying a large sack, the kind normally used by goblins to snatch children. Have the kobolds started on this practice as well now?
Cog’s Journal, 6th of Limestone, 322The need to hook up some new facilities to levers arose today, and with that came the realization that we’ve actually used all the levers in the second control room. A small third one is being established and I’ll be getting the miners to carve out a fourth large room at the dining hall level shortly. It’s a good thing all these controls are labeled or we would be in real trouble.
Events of the 8th of Limestone, 322Abyss was somewhat melancholy of late. He had long since achieve the status as a legendary glass maker and the number of glass windows, blocks and tubes he had produced was amazing. But of late there had been little need for his skills, overproduction being what it was. Abyss found his mind wandering.
Then suddenly a thought struck like lightning. He began to run out of the meeting hall, mentally making notes. It would be glorious, but he had to make it now, before inspiration moved on.
Cog’s Journal, 22nd of Limestone, 322Today the sounds of boiling water could be clearly heard in the third cave level. The first of our pumps began operation to start converting the lake around one of the adamantine spires into obsidian. It will take some time to complete the project but once complete we’ll be able to carefully begin exploratory mining below the caves to see how deep this spire goes. With the most absolute care possible of course.
Cog’s Journal, 24th of Limestone, 322After so many years, you’d think the creativity of our dwarves would begin to falter. That has yet to be the case, today Abyss our talented glass maker brought an exquisite scepter into my office. It is decorated in everything from spider silk to diamond. The finest detail on the drawing is in gold, showing the defeat of a goblin by one of our many talented military dwarves.
At 135,600 Urists, it is a sight to behold!
OOC: Quietly ticking through the year. Not a huge amount of excitement lately, but construction continues efficiently!
@Indricotherium: Ahhh, the dreams of forgotten beast silk. It’s a real shame the silly creatures never actually use that ability.
@Karakzon: That’s a possibility. I’ll have to ponder it I’m not really certain what to do with it. I may have to tweak the design slightly in the future. Don’t apologize for creative ideas; they are always appreciated even if they don’t quite fit the plans!
