Some of the idiots have been reduced to hunting vermin for food on the surface, despite the food stockpiles being both open and overflowing. Also, Glacial's ghost is up to no good again, toppling a cobaltite statue.
He's claimed a mason's workshop and is gathering materials.
MINE
In other news, we dumped about twenty bins of stuff on the human traders in exchange for food, booze, animals, metal bars, and some other heavy things so they could carry away more junk. When they left, they apparently attracted the attention of some undead horses, and one of their guards stayed behind to deal with them. I've dispatched the Chambers of Luring to assist them. Also, there are two animals for every dwarf in this fortress, and they're getting hungry too, so they're
all going. I just hope we can slaughter them all before they starve. Also, a caged wild horse has given birth, and two ghosts (a nameless suturer and an unperson) have been put to rest.
The dwarven caravan has arrived. Finally. Now we can get rid of more stuff. We really don't need all this junk lying oh hey there.
Just the one squad. They caught Mipe alone, but reinforcements arrived before they could do much to him. Dete showed up, killed the marksgoblin leader, then they ran. Siege broken.
Although apparently Mipe's luck started to run out on him.
Glacial is up to more mayhem, this time with a shale armor stand.
Nothing can stop him. Not a broken foot, nor a broken ankle, nor thirst. Nothing can stop the fey weaver. He's moving toward the clothier's shop.
Fishing seems good. I wonder why the fisherdwarf says there's no fish in the ocean? Also, Xenos' ghost has been put to rest. Time flies when you're managing a fortress.
Dariush met with the liaison today.
What the hell.
Failcannon and the surrounding lands have been made a duchy. Anyway, Dariush ordered steel, gold, and booze. Also, it occurs to me that I was going about the drainage problem entirely wrong - there's nowhere near enough water to even fill the excavated space, so why bother linking all the doors to a lever?
Dariush ended his ban on the electrum trade today, and ordered the creation of two electrum items. I threw a job order to make some electrum goblets on the manager's desk, so that's all taken care of.
Next update will be either tonight or tomorrow, and will finish up the year. It's currently 8
