27th Sandstone
http://picpaste.com/obi.bmpI'm not terribly concerned, he seems to have no syndrome, and he's made of ash. Plus the caverns are all sealed off at the moment. Might be a good idea to start working on the military though, just in case.
2nd Timber
More migrants. Maybe I should draft them and send them after the beast. We don't really have any sort of military metal though. I'll definitely be asking for as much iron as possible from the caravan.
3rd Timber
Drafted 4 dwarves under Militia Commander Cinnabar Man. One has some smattering axe skill, the rest have nothing but weren't contributing to the fortress so they are now soldiers. I've got the leatherworker hard at work making armor for them.
18 Timber
The river is frozen and the caravan is here. Let's see if they have anything good and request some iron, make that lots and lots of iron.
They didn't bring any iron although they did bring a nice steel breastplate.
I had Krumisan request steel, iron, tin and bronze bars, as well as ore for making iron and tin.
1st Moonstone
Winter has come and work on the dropchute to supply the magma workshops with material has been completed. The top of it is near the farms, just below the bedrooms and if it is designated as a dump zone and the rock stockpile by the upper workshops is removed it should work beautifully to get sand, clay, and metal down to the workshops far below. Getting products back up will take more time and the main staircase has not been extended that far yet.
3rd moonstone
The other craftdwarf has been taken by a fey mood. It's shameful of me, but I kind of hope he ends up making something wooden. I like being the best stonecrafter in the place.
7th Moonstone
two Mica, rough pink garnets, and cut morion. It looks like he's going to be surpassing me as a stonecrafter. I guess this will be good as far as trading goes though.
11th Moonstone
He's finished it, Frecklesilver the Gallows of Stability. Evidently he's a fan of capital punishment. Not that I'd stoop to finding some crime he might be guilty of just to eliminate the competition, no, there's room enough for both of us in the fort.
http://picpaste.com/Frecklesilver.bmpMeanwhile krumisan has gone back to mining rather than saying goodbye to the envoy. I've told him to quit mining for a bit so that the envoy can get safely home and deliver our requests.
15 Moonstone
As the envoy let us know what he'd like to purchase next year the caravan prepared to leave, and work on the sleeping quarters for the tradesmen that will be manning the deep furnaces was nearly finished.
These are the things in demand at the mountainhomes

1st Moonstone
I dreamed that Domas Gerigmebzuth was taken by a mood and made a mug that put anything I had ever created to shame. I awoke in a sweat and rushed to look, but no, he had not, it was only a dream. Perhaps the coming of winter has me on edge.
15 Moonstone
My dream may have been prophetic, but in an odd way, Domas did not go into a strange mood but Sir Broccoli did. I am curious to see what she creates.
She quickly grabs highwood logs and an empty cedar bin. I've never seen a bin used in a strange mood before, I am more curious than ever.
19 Moonstone Sir Broccoli still works furiously. meanwhile I have assigned Ancalagon, along with a fledgeling potter and glassmaker, to bedrooms in the depths of the fortress near the magma so they can more easily staff the glass workshop, kiln, smelter, and forge down there.
20th Moonstone
Sir Broccoli has completed her work. She emerges holding up Esotik or Clearedsheen a highwood weapon rack. It's decorated with highwood, but in a way that awes with it's stark simplicity, no hanging rings, no menacing spikes, no inlayed images. Simply an image of pure beauty and functionality.
22nd Moonstone
Krumisan informs me of what the mountainhomes would like for next year, I must have dreamed of them requesting something else.
