Cog's Journal, 1st of Sandstone, 321 We all looked on in quite awe when Tosid Litastkivish brough his artifact creation into the dining hall. A beautiful marble bed, studded with spikes. Easily worth 50,000 urists.
It is an amazing creation but there is no way I'm sleeping in it! If we ever get invaded by the king, he can have it, spikes and all.
Cog's Journal, 10th of Sandstone, 321 The second training hall in the new military tower was commissioned today. It'll be nice to finally have our soldiers out of old Towersoared. We're just about to clear the obsidian factory again but right on schedule the next factory floor is ready to go. We'll do some cobaltite block production while the miners work.
Events of the 18th of Sandstone, 321 Thatdude was grinding her teeth with frustration. She had unloaded another quiver into the beast and was getting started on her fourth. She watched as the beast simply sat there like a lump, completely ignoring her as she added more to the pincushion bolt fur coating its salt body.
Suddenly as she notched another bolt, the beast slumped into the lake. Had she killed it? It looked dead but she hadn't gotten any particular shot in. Then it rolled over. She sighed in frustration. Apparently her last bolt had broken its leg. She fired a couple more shots and then wandered back up to the fortress to get more ammunition. This thing would die if it was the last thing she did. At least it was going to hold still now, the way it was writhing around looked pretty painful.
Cog's Journal, 1st of Sandstone, 321 The third barracks room has been commissioned even though it isn't 100% complete yet. But this means that all three of our primary melee squads now have a home in the military tower. The next floor will be dedicated for the marksdwarf squads.
OOC: This year is dragging onwards, slowly but surely. That stupid beast in the second cave level just won't die! Oh and by the way, you don't want to face it in single combat unless you are suicidal. Trust me on that one.
@breadbocks: Sure, no problem:
You've still been finding lots of leisure time from the looks of things. I've had you smoothing the walls to make the area look nicer.
@Syntic: Consider it done. I'll be interested to find out as well. I'll post a relationship list in the first update after the New Year.
@Scaraban: That sounds about right from what I've seen.
@Triaxx2: Heh.
