Savs' wall-engraved log:3 Granite, 10Well, today some other dwarf came and told me that I was in charge. I don't know who it was, and I don't know how he knew it was me... Up until recently, I've been tethered to the lever with my back to everyone. Don't really know what's going on. It's not right, though. See, I went to the Queen's University to study engraving. That's how you're reading this now. But I took a couple electives in the fortress management faculty. I got Cs, but whatever. The prof just hated me. Now then, I first went on a tour. I found a ton of holes in the defenses. I hear we've been having kobold problems. Well, I ordered those patched up, and even have set about making another outer wall.
This should give us a little more time to get to safety, and narrow the points of attack. Also, I've made several peasants into Wallsmiths. They will be charged exclusively with wall construction!
I found a bunch of rooms were in disrepair and unassigned, so now all of the children have beds to sleep in. I've also decided that as fortress overseer, I
need deserve better lodgings, so I've taken over these. I have ordered a dining room to be dug out behind the study, and as the fortress' Historiagrapher, I will soon move my entire log onto the walls behind the dining room, which will also be dug out.
Wow, this place needs work. Where are the mason's shops? Oh, there's just one. And it's right there. Another! I've heard already of a couple ghosts floating around! 20 Rock Slabs! Come on, let's get a move on, people!
14 GraniteWait, there are only two miners? I have so many projects! Let's just hand some newbies a couple picks. I'm sure we have more lying around. No need to consult the stocks record.
17 GraniteI smell candy, I smell candy. I've told the other dwarves to make a stockpile of it next to the smelter when we finally get some. I've decided to strip the previous broker, Urdim Handlereveres of his position as broker, seeing as he has NO HANDS. In fact, I've replaced him with a MUCH more competent dwarf, and have locked Urdim in his room, because he needs to be put out of his misery.
18 GraniteIt's come to my attention that a full 9 of our dwarves, that's 10%, are suffering from some sort of infection or other due to old wounds. Well, we'll work them until they keel!
7 SlateWell, the outermost bridge is finished. Now we just have to put a wall up, and we'll have a somewhat-more protected fort. In order to help with that, I've ordered the construction of 60 green glass serrated discs. Once the 7 or 8 glass furnaces are up and running, we'll be cranking them out in no time! I'd better assign some Glass Apprentices!
10 SlateNow that I've mined out some of a candy column, I've ordered a few peasants to take the position of Candydwarf. They are responsible for extracting the metal strands from the raw candy, which will then be made into excellence at our smelters and forges! In anticipation, of that, I've ordered several more forges to be built, as well as a few smelters.
16 SlateI'm beginning to hear cries of anguish echo down the hall from the deaddwarf Urdim Erushebal's room. I've told the other dwarves to ignore it.
I mean, come on, he was useless! I remember learning in Fortress Management that all useless dwarves like him should be mercifully killed, so as not to drag down the fort. He'll get a proper burial place, don't worry!
19 SlateWe seem to be running out of alcohol. For some reason, a previous overseer decided that plump helmets shouldn't be brewed. Well, I say that it's better to have awful wine than nothing at all! Also, it's time to get some more barrels!
1 FelsiteWell, a quiet, quiet spring so far. Almost silent. Feb, our mayor ended a mandate and immediately decided that he thought it would be good for the fortress to make a piece of leather armour. Well then, have at it, tanners!
4 FelsiteOne of our new miners today began raving. It's another one of those possessions.
He claimed a forge! Hope he doesn't make a copper boot or something...
11 FelsiteWhat? As soon as we meet Feb's mandate, he calls for three gold items to be made! What a pain... Well, I suppose 3 gold statues (assuming we have any gold at all) WOULD brighten up my bedroom...
13 FelsiteAh, the elves... As much as I dislike them... We DO need the wood, and alcohol. All right, let's get this done with. The longer I see their pointy ears, the less I like them...
23 FelsiteStill waiting for our crack broker (aka, the mayor, Feb) to get to the depot. But he's busy building walls, so it's OK. I was informed today by another nameless dwarf that that Deaddwarf finally died recently. Nobody knows when. We all got used to his cries for beer, but then didn't notice that he'd stopped. He will be buried in a nice chalk coffin. I'll even have the engravers make a slab for him.
25 FelsiteWell, that possessed dwarf down there at the bottom of the fortress apparently finished his creation. I wasn't far off the mark. It's a rose gold boot instead of a copper one. Well, it's worth 381120, so that's nice at least. And someone in the militia will look really fancy with their mismatched boots!
26 FelsiteA ghost was put to rest, finally.
1 HematiteWell, that was a peaceful spring. I wonder where all the kobolds and goblins are.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
All right, I'm very suspicious... Why didn't any invaders show up? I turn off invaders to play another game that's been going on, but I had it turned on when I loaded this game. Any thoughts?
