Medical Journal of Doctor Valrandir, PHD
3rd Moonstone
I have elevated my self to the status of Manager and Chief Doctor. This means I hold four noble houses in this outpost; that is because there is no one else as qualified as myself for these positions. To celebrate the occasion, I have commissioned supplies for a grand hospital, as well as a well for my quarters.

Vabok Pagetouched, a professional liason, was undergoing... unprofessional meetings. Scruffy sat in the dining room, and was guzzling down three dwarven gallons of booze. Experts debate to the day, but a dwarven gallon equates roughly to one third of a "Great Lake"... though which Great Lake is still under study. "So... Mr. Scruffy." Vabok attempted to keep up a facade of friendliness. "What do you request from the mountain homes?"

10th Moonstone
The fortress' doctor and myself have... edited the record for our requests from the mountainhomes. It now includes Rose Gold, Electrum, Gold, Silver, Cows and Cow Leather. He asked about my obsession with Electrum, and I asked about his obsession with Male Bulls.

13th Opal
Our more advanced security systems are being built. A classic trap; they'll walk over the bridge, and then we'll pull it. I'm planning on chaining one of these useless cats as bait.

14th Opal
The creation of my well system has both been delayed and validated...
Next spring, we must make haste to create a cistern.
1st Obsidian
The water unfreezes during Obsidian... so it's only frozen during Opal. Hmm.

18th Obsidian
A damn, dirty Kobold approached our fort.
I chased him off with my mace, and talked about my successful defense during dinner earlier. Fuzzy was pleased, as they disgust him... but Therleth seemed rather worried.
Blueprints cover one hatch cover, pinched into the corner.Working on acquiring power from river. Seems like an efficient power source. Hopeful for it.

My office is still undergoing its construction. To pass the time, I have improved the ventilation system. It's been a hobby of sorts for me.
Very therapeutic.
Blueprints are stabbed into a wall with a dagger. The handwriting differs from Nigel's.We've done enough sinning to the sky. I've been working on my own project... Hardly secret, but I shall not be the one who befalls the sky.
This pillar shall hold the sky when its completion is reached.
-- END OF WINTER, 101 --
Woo, one whole year guys! Looking good! This update may be a bit smaller than others, but that's mostly because projects are only impressive when they're nearing their finish. Here's a small progress update for everyone;
Fuzzy, you were processing pig tails into thread, dyeing them, weaving them, then dyeing them again. It's a slow process, but "double-dying" results in very high quality goods. I haven't actually started you on making them into dresses yet though.
Babylon, there wasn't much bone left after Therleth was done with his turn, so you spent most of it shinying up everything. Nigel's underground mechanic station is shiny! It also now controls that bridge. The bridge leads to a 5 z-level drop that has no exit. There's nothing at the bottom quite yet though. Nigel also has a waterwheel underprogress, three to be exact, and I'm making a way to transmit power safely all the way to the fort.
The tower is currently 8 z-levels high, and rising. It'll get there soon. And... I think that covers everything? Kipi is now legendary in mining, as well. So, what will your dwarves do in the coming season?
