Soapalope is on my dorfing list, which will be posted in its entirety at the end of my turn. Now back to your regularly schedualed story.

That roof over the barracks was finally completed today.
Now our illustrious militia can spar dry. Wonderful for them.

I don’t think anyone was surprised when this happened.
Amazingly, not a one of us native dwarves died. However, three traders died, one to our weapon traps. At least they can kill something. Two pack animals were slaughtered, and five caravan guards fought bravely and died hard. Only one guard, one trader, and two pack animals left. On the positive side, they drove off all the goblins including a squad that popped up in the middle of the fracas. Thus ends the practice of letting traders in.

Things have been uneventful, thank Avuz. Built a cage and assigned all the strays to it. Somehow the boys got it in their heads to release a bat from the cage, and a constant stream of them were running up to me and complaining that they couldn’t get the bat out of the cage because they didn’t have a little animal trap.
I tried to stop the release, but they said I got the wrong bat. They
won’t stop complaining.7th Obsidian, 525
Oh great, another ghost. This one breaks things.
His body was dumped into the ocean. The others adamantly refuse to acknowledge that he ever existed. Oh well, at least he stays in the hospital.

So I guess we just became a county.
The only problem is, we don’t have a count. Oh well.

Gotta get used to the new date.
The first day of the new year has come. Intriguingly enough, a dog died on the exact toll of midnight. It serves as a reminder that, even as spring brings new life, it brings death.
I feel… tired. I think I understand why spring is the traditional season the position of overseer is passed to a new candidate. However, I haven’t had my traditional year, and this is anything but a traditional fort. So screw tradition.
And that’s winter. It’s really too bad that that caravan died, because if it had survived, I would have a count. I think. I turned off temperature and caged some animals and got a total FPS boost of 6. Still, anything helps. No new dorfings, so the list stands as it is. I continue to try and organize things, but everything I do is pointless in the face of such disorder. So. Should I go a year and hand it off in autumn, or should I go until winter to get it a little closer to spring?
FAKEEDIT: Please excuse my lateness in uploading. 15 FPS.
