Journal of Kol Osirinod, Mayor, 1st Granite, 755:
A most disturbing set of events has transpired. Our Overseer, Blade Master, went completely insane yesterday. One of the stone haulers caught her mining into the heart of an adamantine tube, despite the danger. It took four hammerdwarves to subdue her. She is recovering in the hospital now. More bizarrely, she claims to have no memory of the last several months, except for the recent goblin ambush. Most bizarre.
In my best judgement, I believe it would be best if Blade Master never touched a pick for the rest of her life. Also, she is not to be allowed into any space beneath the Mausoleum. The chances of her attempting to break into the adamantine tube again, and the horrors she could possibly release... I'd rather not think about it. If we just keep her busy, sparring and fighting, we won't ever have to worry about this mess again.
We, however, will have to find someone new to take the mantle of command. I am only the mayor of this settlement. My job is to speak with liaisons and comfort grieving dwarves, not running a fortress. I will have to find someone.
OOC: So ends my run in Deathgate, home of the doomburger. As I said, all adamantine that's safe is mined out, as far as I know. (NOTE: What I know to be 'safe' is any adamantine not touching an unknown square. Someone might know better than me, in which case, have at it!)
The fortress defenses are solid as a rock, but we need more marksdwarves. We've got one. Uno. Not enough, ya dig? Plus we need a better siege system. Whenever goblins showed up, I had multiple animal deaths. For preference, we get everyone and everything inside, and then let them attempt to get across the bridge. What with all the weapon traps, ballistae (hopefully working correctly at that point) and the lack of OSHA compliance, most, if not all, attackers will be taking a multi-z-level drop. I've seen it mess them up before, it'll do it again. When the gobbos are stunned, send in the troops to finish them off.
I also set up another farm, just because I felt the farmers didn't have enough to do with their time. Speaking of, we have a LOT of idlers. I couldn't figure out what to do with them all. I suggest we make some kind of magma related mega-project. Our food stores are, well, see for yourself.
Also, oddly, turkeys aren't claiming the nest boxes on the level with the BATTEREY. Not sure why. I actually wanted a turkeysplosion, but no luck. Maybe the next player can do so.
Another thing I forgot to mention. I set up few additional smelters, and one additional forge. I set it to legendary only, and it's awaiting the smithing of a pair of swords and a pair of axes.
Save will be up momentarily.

If there's a problem, let me know, because I'm holding onto the save.
