wow, I thought it would be a peaceful end to the year
I know what you're thinking "he breached the core"
not true. I built a staircase which revealed the hollow tube. I built it because I didn't want two legendary miners dying of thirst
3 beasts of snow managed to get in but they were killed quickly and without incident
of course, no year would be complete without a gobbo ambush(well, ANOTHER gobbo ambush)
we had one casualty from that, a woodcutter
why a wood cutter? because there are basically no god damn trees in the tree farm
the final death of the year belongs to one of our legendary engravers
he decided to build a piece of wall along the bridge with nothing supporting it
the cave in injured several others
fucker got what he deserved
notes for the next guy:
-we have a squad of marksdwarves
-they currently have 0 wood/bone bolts
-please make sure more are made
-look at all the hotkeys; they will be invaluable to navigating what, at some times, seems to be a giant clusterfuck of tunnels
-the garbage dump is in the tree farm near the food stockpile
-I began making a death pit/arena. use it as you will
-there are a pair of nice rooms right below the workshops with no owner, please assign them at your leisure (consider them a gift)
-if you touch the tombs of either Evilsquack or Evilsquack II, I will personally ensure the horrible death of your favorite dwarf
-I requested lots of flux, barrels,and other things we either can't produce or can always use more of from the dwarven caravan
-we have ungodly amounts of bone, each skelephant is giving 60+ as well as a skull and some ivory/teeth
suggestions:
-complete the death pit (make weapon traps to kill the skelephants or make it a box with fortifications for our new squad to practice)
-confiscate the items from our newest prisoners, then kill them in the death pit
-in the archery area, there is an empty room; I suggest a second danger room so that once we have good marksdwarves, we can train them to be good at dodging
-finish the roof; it should be easy now
final words:
To whomever built that little elf love nest
this is one of my dorf's thoughts
