The Journal of Datan Nitigingish, Leader of the Outpost Akrulusan, Tinmurdered.
1st of Granite, we've arrived at our designated location. We were told it would be cold... but not that it was a glacier! We brought, hopefully, enough food and beer until the caravan comes in the 'Fall'. Our miner Mebzuth claims he saw a polar bear off in the distance, but how can you see a polar bear in a snow storm?
2nd of Granite, We were all confused as to how we were going to start our new lives in this iceland, when Mebzuth claims became truth, a polar bear with rotting flesh was charging straight at us. Luckily I hired a hammerer to protect us, but seemingly She forgot her hammer the last stop we made... She charged the bear anyways and punched it, to death? or re-death? Whatever the thing didn't seem to fight back, at all.
7th of Granite, Mebzuth started mining into the glacier, weve put all our stuff immediately inside incase more zombified creatures come.
11th of Granite, A Yeti was spotted, weve used the mined ice to seal ourselves in.
28th of Granite, Nothing too exciting, started to mine downward to find some real rocks... Ingish, our stone worker, has brought it upon himself to make our cave looke 'nice' he's smoothing all of the walls.
13th of Felsite, Mebzuth claims we shouldn't dig any further down, that he found some underground caverns, and that were lucky we didn't find the ground level of it. I asked him if he found anything good, he mumbled something about iron ore, i went down to look and there were veins everwhere down there!
17th of Hematite, Finally got an office to update our stocks in, we need to find something to do, it's getting cold up here in the ice cave...
18th of Malachite, I've ordered the building of a trade depot for the caravans coming, which requires for us to open the wall to the elements...
20th of Malachite, Ugh, migrants? Before the caravan too, they probobly didn't even bring along more food...
27th of Malachite, DAMNIT! a yeti got in, it started wrestleing with our unarmed Hammerer, and ripped her to shreds, while two of the migrants ganged up on it. They were fighting neer our food pile so we couldn't get anything during the fight, Mafol managed to kill the beast while it strangled Mosus to death, we named the damned thing Akumzalud.
(After this there's a high chance of tantrum spiraling before the first caravan even gets here...)
