14th Galena 153
I have dug a small tunnel into the caverns and sent Rigoth Hawkpainted in. Let's hope we get him back in one piece and totally cluttered with cave spider silk. Pretty soon after him our chief medical dwarf, Fikod Ralkol came after him, stating he
really needed to get something... I hope this doesn't turn out bad.

The humans have arrived for trading, though I'm currently not too sure if they will have anything of interest. We'll see.
18th Galena 153
Suddenly a snatcher appeared right in the military's barracks, but it was easily patched out by the guys training there. They piled up against him and already the first strike tore apart the heart. He was already dead then, but the people continued slaughtering him as if they were in a frenzy: Hacking him in the spine was probably the meanest part of it, but the final blow was dealt by the speardwarf Fikod Onreloltar, who stabbed his head and brain.
In the meantime, Hawkpainted has come back, triumphating about the giant cave spider silk cloth he had collected and weaved. Probably Tinesteemed can finish her surprise now...
19th Galena 153
Lor Tinesteemed snatched the silk cloth right out of Hawkpainted's hands, running back to the workshop with it. The she had already assembled some cat and rhesus macaque bon to build whatever thing she might have planned.
While waiting for the results, I can as well trade with the humans, let's see what they have.
21st Galena 153
I was digging out some space for the control room of the giant construction, when I heard strange noises from the underground, about the direction of where I left the open tunnel so we could harvest some more silk. I quickly ran there, but soon I met Kris, reporting to me the horror which was about to come. A peasant, marbling at the beauty of the cave vegetation had seen what made these noises and now ran around the fortress, screaming:
I was so horrified, I couldn't even move a single finger. This thing was just too much for my peace and ease loving heart. Next to me, I saw the military rushing downwards, trying to stop the diamond monster coming from the Depths, then I passed out.
Metime00 later told me, what had happened when I was awake again:
"We evacuated the civies into the panic room, hoping no one would have stolen the stored booze and food there, so they would be able to stay there for a while. We then took position halfway up the stairs, of course only after first taking a drink and finishing our armor and dodging demonstrations. We were waiting there, in the dark, when suddenly someone screamed up behind us. We winced at the shock, then readied our weapons and stared into the dark tunnel behind us. What horrors might come to us right now? When we saw a shadow approaching, the archers wanted to shoot their crossbows right at the phantom, but I had them wait, since they wouldn't hit anything at that moment. The shadow approached, and as it approached, it became more and more shape, the shape of Lor Tinesteemed, who was grinning with a unmoved face and wearing a cat bone gauntlet at her right hand. I took a closer look at it, and it proved to be completely worthless. I don't know where she trashed the silk and rhesus macaque bone to, but it was simply a gauntlet of highest quality, although composed of s***ty materials. She told me that she named it Tatlosh Kithin, "The Fish of Cacti", worth 1320 dwarfbucks, and I just told her to go the f**k off to the panic room, since we had serious business to do here. [...]"
OOC EDIT: where the heck did she stuff the other stuff? I was sure that she demanded silk cloth and had some rhesus macaque bone in the workshop, too... Also, isn't the minimum worth of artifacts a bit higher? all that goddamn military is drinking and watching demonstrations, but the FB isn't moving either... sigh.
