Di's Journal
28th Slate
Had a closer look at the weirdly named migrants. I'm afraid I'll never be close to understanding the infinite wisdom of our king may Kulet bless him. Sagacious king has send us 3 woodcutters, four jewelers and one wood burner along with those who were trained in somewhat applicable professions. I guess we now start Diamond and Ironwood squads, Jewels and Axes in everyday.
19th Felsite
Elves came. One of our soap makers withdrew from society, I hope he'll come back when pointy eared leave.
27th Felsite
Bought wood and some wooden stuff, also some fiber and a tiger. Now about unsociable dwarf, we are about to get legendary weaponsmith or a babbling psychopath, I'd better get some donkey butchered and some metal smelted.
10th Hematite
I've decided to take a break, hope someone finally will get damned leather for weaponsmith.
14th Hematite
Interesting what will he create? I could make use of artifact iron pick.
16th Hematite
It seems that I'm the only one in the fort who actually digs. Dumat says it's not his pick and refuses to use it and the newly assigned one miner also prefers to slack off.
19th Hematite
Well artifact mace, I don't think it's suitable for digging.
Speaking of which, one of our mason walled himself off in future watchtower and none of these lazy bastards wants to carve stairs there while I'm still relaxing. Also we have run out of mined ice for walls and microline for mugs.
22nd Hematite
I've finally got to digging ice, I'm a professional now. Soon construction will resume.
26th Hematite
Our legendary weaponsmith had finally created a pick these picky loafers accepted to work with.
4th Malachite
Solved the conflict between squads, Jewels took over all battle axes leaving nothing for Axes to train with. Jewels will use fists for time being well and jewel of our weaponry Lunvumshar.
15th Malachite
Another wave of reinforcements. Finally a miner! Now 39 dwarves here.
17th Galena
Humans have came. We've got a lot of mugs for them.
21st Galena
Ambush! Surprisingly it was kobolds, for some reason they've thought that if some of them managed to steal useless crap lying around they can attempt to attack us.
We have driven them away, sadly two soldiers soldiers were seriously injured and one was killed. I should check if there's coffin for him. We should hurry up with finishing the defensive perimeter.
25th Galena
Bonecarver has shown today symptoms me and three other dwarves experienced almost year ago. That's disturbing, hope this want spread over the rest of the fortress. The unknown force in him didn't as much though, I just need to butcher another bunch of horse foals.
2nd Limestone
Had to dismiss militia as they seem to have taken kobold incident to hard.
5th Limestone
Who- or whatever had taken control of bonecrafter simply wanted to create a bone grate.
Walls are complete, however new problem arose, fortress doesn't have any water for wounded. Measures were taken.
8th Limestone
What a sissy elves are in our militia! I've fought a bear with bare hands and my unreliable memory tells me I had fought something worse during last winter and I'm up and running. These crybabies are miserable after one encounter with kobolds. I saw two of them coming out of the fort to a place of fight shivering. Another one is tantruming, he hadn't give way to his anger yet, just yelling curses around but that's at least dwarfy. Also we've encountered strange phenomena after creating the well.
10th Limestone
Finally we got around to trade with humans. We got two cows, a handful of wood and barrels as usual.
14th Autumn
Someone of these sissy-soldiers broke down our bridge, bastard. If I ever find out who did it he'd better run from here.
23rd Limestone
Well turned out to be a complete failure. It takes forever to lift bucket, and water seems to freeze on the way up. I've never seen anyone actually getting water from it, but crowd starts to gather there so I have to take measures. The well is closed.
26th Limestone
Finally reconstructed bridge. Now those sissies that stuck outside can get something to eat, and humans can go home. Solved water problem for time being. I've created access to underground lake, of course it's secured by grates. I have a strong feeling that we've missed the upper cavern but there's more important problems right now.
27th Limestone
That Dumat guy, well he turned out to be a girl. Today the first native citizen of Armordeath was born. Gotta go send congratulations.
9th Sandstone
I was wrong the other two caverns were found down there. Also we've found adamantine down there I shall mark the place for next rulers with ancient F8 rune.
10th Sandstone
We've finally found a bit of warmth in this frozen hell. We have found another pillar of the metal of gods, I shall use shift+F8 ancient rune as well.
Edit: Sorry for crappy images. Next tine I'll check them first.
