SUMMER
6th of Hematite Those blasted Goblins wont move an inch. I swear they are toying with me. To make matters worse one of our stupid drunken members of society has become possessed, Sigun the Blacksmith. I am unsure of what he will make but it better be damned good.
(worse time to sense theres a bug with burrows and moods apparently they will gather the materials forever until the burrow is lifted arg)
I guess that all thats left for me to do is wait out the siege the best I can.
son of a bitch i have to lift the burrow he is grabbing wafers... he grabbed 2 already on his way to the 3rd... might loose a few drawfs to save our cotton candy
That damned stupid possessed dwarf is grabbing our precise blue metal to build some stupid ass item of his. I ordered all the plants and tree outside to no longer be cut down or gathered. hopefully I can lift the burrow and the drunken citizens can stay inside and be happy.
They are still out there... Waiting.... and Waiting..... and well I dunno playing kick the sack?
One of the dwarf got a bit to close to the green rag tag team and got his leg shot at chipping the bone and tearing the tendon.
18th of HematiteThe possessed Sigun has started making his creating. With 3 of our most beloved of metal wafers in this creation I wonder what he will make.
In my hasty decision in attempting to try the levers to find out which one would work the proper bridge a dwarf was standing one that actual DID work... I never heard his screams because of all the loud mouthed dwarves screaming for the lives in this hectic moment. I moved over to the destroyed body I couldn't even recognize him. the only way i was able to determine who he was the uniform he wore.
May his soul rest in piece.
The possessed Dwarf finally finished his creation. It's a Crutch.... Wait a what?? made out of our most precious metal? damn those stupid err whatever they are that possess our dwarfs
And boy is it worth a bunch.
at least it increased our total wealth.
During all this sensitive matter of goblins, bridges, and forgotten beast. Our lovely drunken society decided it was the best time to elect a new mayor and demote our current mayor to a book keeper and but not limited to a broker. Yup our first leader to our fortress and founder was apparently not well liked in the public eye and they figured the best time to do this was during a goblin siege. I sure love this fortress. what better way to treat a mayor then shove his face full of paper work.
3rd of HematiteOur glorious baron for same silly damn reason demands amulets. Seriously Xenos in a time such as this you want a damn amulet? I think we can prepare a tomb early if that how our going to act... Damned nobles.
those blasted goblins are still sitting there perhaps i shall send Xenos out to ask if they have any amulets. that way i wont have to make one for his picky little dwarven ass.
Damn them sneaky kidnappers I did even see them there using this siege as a distraction to steal out children. I only pray this loss doesn't cause to much trouble for the grieving mother.
Oh what luck loose one gain another I always say.
22nd of MalachiteStupid fisher died he figured it would be a great idea to drop a lure next to the camp of goblins sitting outside out walls. They keep inching closer to out home. I am hooking up the bridge that our last leader forgot to. then locking everyone inside. I quickly forbid the items he dropped as well as his corpse until the goblins are gone thats the way it will be. I better not here a single complaint from the dwarves or I will lock them outside.
I was finally able to get the brass bridge hooked up to the level that Xenos forgot to do himself. I closed the bridge hopefully that will stop any more stupid dwarf from saying hi to the stupid goblins.
1st of Galena(fill the rest tomorrow its bed time here.)
Looks like those damned monkeys decided to rob the dead. They picked the poor fisher's corpse clean.
It seemed that our little green friends where not going to leave anytime soon, and I need to get rid of them soon. I decided the best plan would be to dig under them and prepare a tomb one that when perhaps a certain lever is pulled will drop them down a few levels to there death. I started to lay the plans out and if any did survive the fall I will drain one of the ponds out there into the very room so when winter comes they will be in cased in ice.
15th of GalenaAnd as I was having the Miners dig out the goblins tomb. Something Far worse then any creature we have every encounter before decided to give us a visit.
"My word! could my rule here get any worse?"
It's a good thing I have the bridge working now. I only hope that this giant moving statue can destroy those green bastereds.... But then what. How can a deal with a creature such as this?
I decided to watch as the untold carnage started to come about. He started to head towards the camp of goblins. You could hear the smashing of his foot steps with each step... A large earth pounding sound one which shook the ground itself. The Goblins are still just sitting there unaware perhaps of there pending doom. I dare not know what monstrous death awaits them. I almost dare not to look. and as the creature was just coming down the hillside the green pesky freaks left. The giant statue then started to head towards our animals chained outside to watch for stealthy assassins.
19th of GalenaWhat luck has shined down on me this great and wonderful day. That very statue attempting to kill our defenseless animals stupidly stepped on a cage trap and carelessly got himself trapped. I began to ponder what I should do with such a large captured magical creature such as this. perhaps a trap of sorts for the next goblin siege?
With the siege dispersed and the giant living statue captured I finally let out a sigh of re leaf. My rule here has been one interesting tale after another and I have only served half my time as leader. What dare may happen for the other half?
I have heard of such tales of a trap that was rightfully nicknamed the Goblin Grinder. In an attempt to make one such as that but without traps I began to lay the floor plan for our new defensive meat grinder. I started extending the wall to the trapped filled hallway that leads into our trade depot room. I also order 2 floors to be channeled down below that lay between the two walls, and then extend a retractable bridge over the pit. And what awaits our unexpected victims? Why our very own giant pet statue . Hmm perhaps after that is finished I will turn it into an arena of sorts allowing our happy citizens to view the pet destroy our enemies.
25th of GalenaDamned those pesky skinny bastard goblins. as my workers where building my new death trap they came and ambushed them. I quickly ordered our military out to meet them hopefully we wont loose to many dwarfs to there tricky ways.
I guess our citizens didn't pick the brightest mayor. He was caught in the middle of the ambushed and instead of running back into our walls he ran away getting himself killed.
Our militia finally made it in time to only account for one lost member of society. Oh my is that one hell of a wrestler we go not only is he a recruit but he is a skull smashing puncher.
Sadly all was in vein! those damn recruits where stupid getting themselves spread out and failing to follow my order of going back behind the walls. As the scattered the goblins quickly dispatched them only 3 remain. I am going to have to start recruiting again. One of our engraver Dunam was still out there and he was in trouble 2 of the green annoying things where chasing him around. He ran straight south and cleverly lead them near a pond where he had them circle around to get to him allowing him to run back to the walls. At least thats what i though damn stupid drunken bastard didn't bother trying to get back to the walls he continued to run like an idiot everywhere.
I am beginning to think that our previous mayor Opirian had planned all this so he can be seated back into mayor, because no sooner after the mayors death he took it upon himself to be mayor once agian.
