OOC:
Another rather fascinating season, tho' nothing that much happened, but 2 new artifacts, and the work on the breach is going swimmingly!

From the journal of 'Narqulie' Buketreg, 2nd in charge of the Walled Banks, overseer incognito :
2nd of Hematite, 756
Summer has come. The weather is pleasant, and everything is running smoothly.
Apart from Adil Monomamal's shouting about in one of the clothiers shops for stuff we have plenty of in the fort.. I'm worried about the guy, If he's crazy demands aren't met soon he will surely go insane like the late clown Fokerustuth.
5th Hematite, 756
I was approached by the fortresses "Mad Mechanic", Noodle, asking about the operations of his "grand design", the intimidating machinery only known as BATTEREY.
I might try to please his heart by putting it to a good use, but what?
Oh well, we'll see what comes of it.
6th Hematite, 756
Work on the defences near the adamantine pillar, now know as Shaft 1 "The Icicle of Doom" is going smoothly. The lower level around the pillar has been cleared and smoothed, and work is being made on an archery-ledge on the level above that for our marksmen.
With all the siege operators and ballistae-parts around, I'm thinking of putting them to use on the attack to the demons heart aswell.
11th Hematite, 756
The crazed fighter Adil finally ran off and found some silk cloth, but afterwards just got back to his shouting.. I'm very worried for his wellbeing.
Nothing much else is happening to be honest. The constructions around the Icicle of Doom are going swimmingly, I have all ablebodied stonecrafters smoothing and engraving the halls.
28th Hematite, 756
I was awoken by a terrible scream echoing down the hallway this morning. It was Adil's voice crying out so I rushed to the clothiers shop.
Let's see what the crazy buggers comes up with!
5th Malachite, 756
I've heard reports of some of the military being unhappy with all the trainig they are forced to endure. I've ordered the scedule to be loosened a bit, and we now have 2 months of rest for every moth of training. An uprising by the military could be devastating!
6th Malachite, 756
Adil just ran into the dining hall brandishing a fine spider silk cloth glove. For the right hand as far as I can see.. AnimaRytak quickly assessed it's value to be over 20 000 Urists! What great tresure!
11th Malachite, 756
A wave of migrants has arrived yet again..
I'm sure I should be celebrating this addition to our force, but the loigistics of handling so many dwarves is getting ridiculous!
With these new arrivals we are a 202 in number. Plenty of dwarves for various tasks!
20th Malachite, 756
The general feel of the fortress is positive. Things seem to be running smoothly and dwarves are happy! The industries are running without much micromanagement and we have an abundance of food and drink. We do have a slight problem with the varieties of alcohol available, but when the next caravan arrives I plan to get some exotic booze imported.
AnimaRytaks new office and quarters are being worked on, and everything is going nicely.
5th Galena, 756
Wanting to show off the fortresses might and wealth, I've begun a mining expedition for more gold ore, which I plan on using to "pinp ub" the place a bit.
12th Galena, 756
People are starting to lose it! Another dwarf was posessed by unknown forces today, Ingish Tekkudral, our legendary armourer! HE promptly claimed a magma forge and started gathering materials. This is going to be good!!
Adamantine wafers..
And the construction has begun!
18th Galena, 756
Work on the adamantine artifact is still going. And a human caravan arrived today! I'm hauling a lot of useless stuff into theirwagon and filling up on exotic booze and miscellanea.
20th Galena, 756
:O
27th Galena, 756
The traders came and went. With them they took a fewq binfuls of our finest crafts, and in return we got exotic berries and alcohol. Autumn is coming, the trees are losing their green, and a profound chill is in the air.
The Icicle of Doom is well prepared now, with room for dozens of archers, a ballistae to wreak havoc on the demonkind, a cage filled to the brim with vicious attack-dogs, and so forth. Now we need to finish our trainig and gearing up of the troops.
