3rd Moonstone, 756
Winter is upon us.. The general mood of the fortress is still good, but I feel uneasier every minute. The dream are becoming more vivid each passing night, and I feel sick when I wake up.
18th Moonstone, 756
A fisherdwarf gave birth to a baby girl, but nothiung much more is happening to be honest. The military keeps training, the masons keep digging out more rooms, and everything is decisively quiet.
25th Moonstone, 756
The preparation of adamantine goods has ground to a halt, it seems we ran out of wafers. Gladly we still havwe lots of the raw stuff, and extracting the strands has been cranked to 11.
27th Moonstone, 756
I keep telling them to take more ballistae-bolts into the Icicle-room, but they just won't listen.
1st Opal, 756
Work on AnimaRytaks new office is nearing completion, and across the hall, my own office is being built. Nothing too fancy, just, something to remember me by.
11th Opal, 756
A great forgotten beast was spotted in the caverns.. Sooner or later we're going to have to deal with them, but for the moment they remain sealed off.
I'm concerned about the lack of Goblin sieges.. They are up to something.
23rd Opal, 756
The dreams have taken a turn for worse. No longer do I see abstract battles in an unfamiliar place. Now the slaughter is happening in these very halls.. I saw all of my squad get slaughtered, and the main hall..
Waking up I was hit by miasma, as something had died in the hall. Gladly it was only a piglet, but still, these haunts are getting the best of me.
1st Obsidian, 756
Winter is drawing to a close, and still nothing much has happened. Adamantine wafers are being melted into shape as we speak, and another batch of axes is being forged. Soon we can move into making armor. I'm thinking of trying to establish a steady supply of steel to go together with the adamantine, to get our warriors geared up to the max.
3rd Obsidian, 756
I still have no use for the BATTEREY, and the mad mechanic keeps pestering me about that. I think I'll let someone else deal with that, I simply do not have the energy anymore.. I barely sleep at night, and during the day I walk around like some sort of a zombie.
9th Obsidian, 756
With nothing much happening, I've ordered a big spring cleaning, removing some of the stone that''s cluttering up the hallways, and have ordered the place to be engraved.
16th Obsidian, 756
A siege has arrived on the brink of spring!
And with them the leader of the goblin civilization, the vile Song Ngasmausbu!
With a force of about 4 squads, the goblins are slowly moving towards our defences. I get the squads ready and now we wait.
There are atleast 4 squads of goblins, and a squadfull of trolls closing in on the fortress doors!
I order the ballistae to fire, it will be amazing when the bolts launch!
Umm.. A dwarf just ran past all the invaders on the bridge unarmed and unharmed.. We won't see Inod again...
TRAGEDY! The mayor has been shot and killed by a goblin bowman who had snuck up behind the archers towers at the gates.
The goblin General is dead! Curse him to the demons that haunt this world!
The siege has lifted, but sadly we have lost some dwarves.
Rith Delerlitast,
Inod Lalturineth,
Ducim Matulcog,
You will be missed (whoever you were...)
I started contruction on roofs for the towers to make sure the tragedy we saw today will not happen again
25th Obsidian, 756
And Animarytak is the Baron!
27th Obsidian, 756
Remember Inod, the leatherworker who went MIA during the siege? He just walked back into the fortress without as much as a scratch on him!
1st Granite, 755
I had a good year, and with the latest siege, the rush of adrenaline cleared my head out a bit. I know we are getting prepared for the big push at the Icicle of Doom, but we will be ready! We will be ready, and Deathgate shall be victorious, and our legend will be told for hundreds of generations to come!
I will step down from my position as a makeshift mayor, now that the old dufus Ducim is dead (Armok bless his soul) and Animarytak takes his place as the mayor. I have my quarters completed, and I shall keep training for the big push on the demons.
OOC:
So, I had an eventful year! A barony, two sieges and all.
The work on the Icicles room is pretty much done, missing a few grates, remember these since the demons can fly up the channel in there..
We also do not have a graveyard, but I put some coffins on R and cleared out a room for them on the main level, in the lower left corner, there is a coffin in there to mark the spot.
Animarytak also wants a tomb, and it is in the process of being dug out, but it didn't get finished in time.. We went down a few hundred units of booze during my year, I have 2 stills boiling at their fullest in the food preparation area..
I also ordered a mass dump of all the stone around the place, and engravers are working to engrave all of the bedrooms, just to get the moods up a bit. Hmm. I don't remember if I needed to say anything more, so ask away if you have anything,
Here is the latest save:
