Journal of xczxc, Sheriff
17th Moonstone, 523Having seen only peaceful animals on the surroundings, I thought it was time to lower the drawbridge, However, as we were doing that, the group of camels went to the north and 3 Blood-seeking ogres made their appearance.
As fivex and Lolor were having a picnic, they got ambushed by the Ogres and started to run.
The oily gulfs were sent to safe the dwarves, it was their first real combat.
fivex managed to get inside, but a brutal ogre decided lolor was his. A brave swordwarf went to save him.
He killed the ogre fairly quickly, but lolor ended severely wounded nonetheless
While all this was happening, Unib and Urvad, wrestler (with an axe) and hammerdwarf respectively, cut the way to the other two ogres.
They fought fiercely and, having learned from past ogre encounters, they didn't underestimated their opponents.
They were fighting amazingly, dodging with expertise and hitting cunningly. One of the ogres smashed Unib's right upper leg against a wall.
That only made Unib get angry and unleashed all his fury upon that Ogre, while Urvad was fighting with the last one.
Eventually, The remaining ogres were subjugated under the might of the Oily Gulfs, Bellwaxed's proud militia
23rd Moonstone, 523Our Hospital is full of activity, the doctors are working hard to treat the patients. They told Sethis they'll need more traction benches.
2nd Opal, 523Good news, treatment was a success for Unib Zuntîrkan, our ex-axedwarf and now elite wrestler. He's back in training.
5th Opal, 523My all-dwarves-have-the-same-privileges policy received harsh criticism by the upper classes of the fort. They couldn't do much, thanks to Kaguro's implacable order and righteousness. But now that he's at the hospital, they have the road free. Rich dwarves started using their influences to control the fort. Corruption is widespread among the powerful. I couldn't do much, otherwise I would have exposed myself and I have a task to fulfil. As a consequence, Sethis was forced to quit his job as the manager and got replaced by felcis. New private mausoleums were ordered to be dug, which wasn't happily received by the proletariat. The masons went into strike but were forced to continue working at the entrance by the Oily Gulfs.
14th Opal, 523The entrance was finished this morning. That allowed me to focus on the internal problems. I took the official position as the sheriff and managed to restore the order. Given the recent even, its primordial to protect Kaguro, I fear someone will try to kill him. I have the chief medical dwarf under 24-hour surveillance in case he is seen receiving a valuable object such as giant cave spider silk trousers to have a "surgery accident" with Kaguro.
27th Opal, 523A new group of ogres were seen lurking near the fort. No immediate action was taken, we are sealed.
1st Obsidian, 523Kaguro's condition is worsening each day that passes. The doctors are doing all they can. Soap was added to the Hospital stocks.
14th Obsidian, 523Kaguro survived the numerous surgeries. Setting and dressing his wound has begun. Maybe he'll make it after all, he's not a quiter, it seems.
26th Obsidian, 523Although the doctors have almost finished his treatment (they are finishing dressing), I fear he bleeds out before they end, he's loosing to much blood and nobody knows why.
1st Granite, 524A new spring has arrived, a year ago this fortress was an insecure hole, now it is a proper fort. My job as an undercover security observer has ended. A new assignment awaits for me as the new Bellwaxed's Sheriff. There is still a lot to be done...
Kaguro is still fighting for his life. I can't help asking myself whether he'll survive.
I'm afraid hard times approach. With the discovering of the fort by the goblins and kobolds, war is knocking our front door...and we are going to prove that the dwarven race will not be wiped from this earth without offering a fierce struggle.
