1st report on DeathGate in the year 774
Short version: not too much happened, the Dorfs that were walled in / left in the hellhole died. I tried to save them by building walls and stuff but they didn't make it. Ordered slabs to be made. Started soap making. Waited a lot for Dorfs, they are busy and we have no idlers.
So:
So someday a lad came bye and tole me: Congrats, son, you be the winner in the lottereye! You wonne ae tryppe. In hindesight I should hae slayen the lovemakin' lovechild! Next, they tole me the wagonne be nae ready in thysse versione. Carried me here on a mule, an when I be sayin "on that mule" itte be more of "draggin the beast up an doon the moontains". They near tole me the destination, too. "DeathGate", the name bodes ill...
So I came behind the last caravan and lo an behold, tall mountains, maebbe ae volcanoe? And over alle the ... bodeing. A chylde passed me an tole me that I be the new, longe awaited mayor. Word spread fast, like rancydde rocknutte oyle throu a gyantic capybara.
Ande then a lasse came an tole me that Armok hae blessed her.
"Armok, Armok I call thee, my Axe be by me side!"
an she "be called by name of Baelor" an she'd be outside to hunt the great beasties of the moontaine sloopes. An' ther be ghoests, an' there be dead, an' there be foul beasties from the ne'errealms, an haaf of the lads an' lassies be rottin. I ordered slabs encarved for t' dead, though I cannea find some o t' lads an' lasses naemes.
Great. On o' our miners died. Of thirst. Walled hisself in, it seems.

OOC
No, seriously, I cannot find three of them in the list to engrave
memorial slabs. Ah, well, so we'll still have at least those three
ghosts when I retire...
This place has been described as a sprawling mess. This is... true. I
don't think it is unmanageable, I try concentrating on a few things:
- bury / slab dead
- secure hellbunker / start reclaim
- start soap industry
- set up marksdwaves (and maybe some serious infantry)
and wait for Dorfs to finish their hauling / whatever buisiness...
EDIT: got the year wrong... just fired up wrong save to look at the calendar date *facepalm*
