Cog’s Journal, 6th of Limestone, 321 One of our legendary gem cutters was struck down today. Why Erush Shorastothos was down in the caves is beyond me but the screams were heard for a short time before cutting off. The first military to arrive spotted troll tracks leading away. Erush had been strangled to death.
We didn’t manage to track down the troll despite our best efforts it had already departed the area. But we killed some troglodytes in her memory. In addition to her tomb, a memorial slab will be installed where she was brutally murdered by that beast.
Cog’s Journal, 9th of Limestone, 321 Tosid Litastkivish, one of our haulers was taken by a mood today. Charged off the military tower worksite babbling madly. I wonder what this will lead to.
The babbling had an unfortunate counterpoint as Zasit, our mayor for many many years began screaming and throwing a tantrum in the prison with only a few days left in his sentence. Apparently his friend Erush dying just pushed him over the edge. He calmed down and seemed to get quite happy, even ecstatic. I am concerned about his mental state if that was enough to get him over the death of his friend and being in prison for 3 months.
Cog’s Journal, 17th of Limestone, 321 Lars was back on his feet today. Michael truly is a miracle worker when it comes to sewing people back together. He’ll rejoining military training immediately at the new barracks, resplendent in his new adamantine breastplate. It was very unfortunate that he got injured just before receiving his new armor.
The rest of the second floor barracks will be completed soon and we’ll have to military moved in soon. Third floor will be for the marksdwarves (barracks, archery range and bolt storage) and the fourth floor will go to the militia. From there I can put the tower construction on hold and begin work on the walls again.
Events of the 25th of Limestone, 321 Sturist was in the midst of combat training when the haulers arrived to dismantle the place. “According to Cog, we don’t need this space anymore.” And with that, the haulers began to remove the furniture and even the doors. He looked at the haulers working in the tiny space with sand floors covered in plants and debris from many years of training and then realized what this meant. He quickly gathered himself together and started jogging towards the military tower. The rest of the squad was close behind.
On the second floor of the tower, the doors had been installed. On two sets of double doors there was a label, “Barracks, The Virginal Boats”. That would be their new space. He walked inside to the sight of a beautiful large room. The floors, walls and mostly completed ceilings were solid obsidian. Marble weapon racks and armor stands lined the walls. There was some noise as the work crews slid more ceiling panels into place but that was hardly a distraction. He sat back to relax while he waited for the rest of the squad to arrive.
Cog’s Journal, 28th of Limestone, 321 As a surprise, I reassigned all the members of Derm’s squad to new rooms today. Enough large rooms were finally completed that I could commission the entire squad in one batch. It even appears there will be more than enough rooms for the rest of the military to receive large rooms in the near future.
I did a bit of research and tried to assign furniture to the rooms that the squad members would find appealing. Some were easier than others but I think everyone will be pleased.
OOC: That was an unexpected death.
@Omen: It was an excellent first kill. And you’re not even legendary yet!
@kisame12794: There is plenty of awesome to go around now. Honestly, I believe that any member of Derm’s squad could take on a siege solo now.
@Urist Imiknorris: Heh, yeah that’s about how I felt. Very odd name.
@Ahra: Nifty, your skill in combat is coming along nicely although a bit slow.
@Syntic: Let me respond with a list:
You’ve been doing a fair bit of masonry work lately but you’re still running all over the fort.
@dermonster: That thing makes my brain hurt. Derm is pretty awesome.
@thriftshopmusketeer: You were on your sleep cycle during the siege. Which is fine since you’ve got to get your weapon training started anyhow. Better luck next siege.
@NoahTophatz: Hatz seems pretty quirky.
