▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓Digging's done! Cozy, isn't it? And no, that isn't an oddly symmetrical arrangement of mules there- I'm just too lazy to duplicate the appearance of a Mechanics Workshop. The ='s next to the farm are a Seed Stockpile, full of seedy goodness.
Rodicurst Onyxbone, Chief Medical Dwarf
NPC JOBS: Haul Shit
You fetch material for KHAAAAAAAN! This makes sense since the primary objective of a healer should be to weaponize the fortress.
Modul "Tweak" Mostsilver, Mechanic
JOBS: FARM
You continue to aid the farming by fetching seeds for Fuzz. After depositing them next to the farm you snag a Bauxite rock and set up shop in the 3x3 space on the left.
-Bauxite
+Bauxite Mechanics Shop
Tulon Lensstream, Hunter and Vismil Blackhoof, Hammerdwarf
JOBS: Hunt
Over hill, over dale, Tulon chases a pair of those damn delicious Marmots. Tulon's great speed allows him to close to crossbow range quickly ([4]+4) and his first shot hits home, puncturing the lung of the male. It looks as though the other will escape downhill when Vismil charges out of the brush, chasing it back uphill. ([5]+4) Tulon's second bolt strikes the female marmot in the head, shattering the skull and pushing it into the brain. After Vismil puts the male out of its misery (rather messily, I might add), Tulon deposits the kills at the Butchers shop while Vismil interposes himself between the pack of wolves and the entrance of Cloisteredtombs. For safety purposes, of course.

Fuzz Oiledsparce, Farmer
JOB: Plant Field
Fuzz plants the seeds as Modul brings them, and soon the entire 3x3 plot is full of rock nuts. You can expect a harvest of Quarry Bushes in 6 weeks.
-9 Rock Nuts

Kib Koganobul, Miner
JOBS: Dig
Moar XP, and now everyone has better sleeping quarters, if sleeping in the dirt can be considered an upgrade over sleeping outside on the grass beneath the HIDEOUS GAPING VOID OF THE SKY- *ahem* Suffice it to say, it can be so considered.
XP assigned tomorrow, stocks screen to follow immediately. Corpses rot after 2 weeks, at which point butchering yields only non-edible byproducts.
FAKEEDIT: Masterturtle, welcome to the Migrant Wave list! Migrant waves arrive midseason, every season, and although it would be true to DF to make you wait until at least summer, it would also be not as fun. You'll arrive next week. Also, awesome name.
