Cog’s Journal, 23rd of Sandstone 319The second cave level is officially getting a bit crowded. Not as crowded as our jail is right now though.
Maybe they’ll kill each other off.
Cog’s Journal, 12th of Timber 319The dwarven caravan arrived on our borders today as did the latest new liaison. I’ve stopped even worrying about what these imbeciles think since mountain home has decimated the ranks of the diplomatic corps. As long as they take our requests, the rest can go hang.
I’m going to be extra careful to not export anything the duke likes this year. I’d really like to keep everyone out of prison. Derm and his squad are heading out to meet them as usual.
Cog’s Journal, 23rd of Timber 319The hanging tower is nearly completed. Today the floor on the magma was completed, leaving only the bridges and fortifications one level up. And of course the details involving stocking the tower still remain.
I think we’ll mostly be carving combat fortifications on other cave levels; this took a long time to complete. But the results are well worth it. Work is resuming on the outer wall project now, but the rest of the tower should be done before the year is out.
I’m still casting about for a way to punish the duke for his transgressions without putting my own neck on the chopping block. Another stern warning was left for me shortly after this year’s liaison arrived. I can’t kill him. Nothing was said about maiming however.
OOC: The year is progressing. Most named dwarves are in prison now and the sentences are slowly ticking down. I’m up for creative, non fatal punishments for the duke. Obviously his pet rats aren’t sufficient.
@Ahra: Yeah, that’s about how I feel.
@Scaraban: Yup, you are decidedly legendary. He was very vicious this time.
@Urist Imiknorris: I’ll see what I can do. Any suggestions for non fatal accidents?
@Triaxx2: Oh, our two legendary woodcutters are taking care of that quite efficiently.
@mcclay: Nice one!
@Indricotherium: I’ll see what I can do. I’m not sure I can specifically assign clothing to him since he is nobility.
