After the party, I spoke with some of the dwarfs in private to get some things moving in the correct direction. First I spoke with Derm, and told him he could have his five dwarfs to get the military started. I had been going over the dwarfs immigration papers while the others partied, and assigned him the following dwarfs:
Kadol Zonelis, for his prior training with a mace
Morul Itdunlogem, for his prior training with axes
As Arroskel, for his prior training with a pike (claims also to be a soap maker, like we need soap right now)
Avuz Atrbkst, because one of the dwarfs that arrived is a better miner
Ushat Astendok, for no other reason than she happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time
Next up, I called the child Nil Thobrith into my office and told him that he could have the old bookkeeper's office and the area that was going to be his room. I then told him that I would keep the bookkeeper position open until he grew up, and then it would be his.
Also, one of the new guys was claiming to be a bone doctor, so I called him into my office and told him that he was now the new chief medical dwarf. Other dwarfs had already training in diagnosing problems with other dwarfs, but he was the only one with any sort of training on actually fixing problems. Not sure I want him fixing problems though until he gets better at figuring out what the problem is.
On a final note, I can see that our mad genius thinks of the new migrants much the same way I do at the moment. I just hope he's joking about drowning them all. Wouldn't be hard really, just tell everyone they need to come into the fortress, then have one miner remove the stairs to get out while the other one breached the wall protecting us from the ocean. I'll consider that plan B.
