First of Granite, Spring, Year 8Today, Komra dumped his job as overseer onto me.
I shouldn't say dumped, as I agreed with it.
That was one of the many problems I shall fix during my time as overseer.
Along with my newfound job came some dirty papers, with statistics that looked as if they'd been crossed out and correct over the course of the two years that this fort has seen.
The very first thing I ordered was four statues for my new office. And no pansy elf statues either, statues of war and bloodshed.
Next, I asked around to find this forgotten beast everyone was making a fuss about. Unfortunately, I was informed it had left the area.
After that, I discoverwed that we had no plant supplies.
And many rooms in the upper fortress that could be used as farm plots.
Let me tell you, after starving in a pit for a few days, you begin to value food more and more.
Second of Granite, Spring, Year 8Today, several dwarves came to my offices and told me there was no work available for them.
I told them that it was too bad that tonight was badgercarp baby night, and to go do masonry work or farming.
We have many more engravers and masons now.
Later I noticed how undefended we were against invaders.
I designated some walls and stonefall traps to be built to extend our entrance, as we do not have supplies for weapon traps.
Fifth of Granite, Spring, Year 9Today I contemplated digging a hole to the cavern from the surface, but realized that such a task would likely mean many deaths due to aquafier. Unfortunately, this means that our walled off section of the cavern will eventually flood....
A ordered a stairway downward built in the cavern, leading to a large room for water collection.
If that room fails I will have a 3 by 3 area leading out to the flooded area of the cavern, which water will flow through via water pressure.
Sixth of Granite, Spring, Year 8My previous plan has run into a snag.
Damp stone was located.
Luckily, no dwarves were injured.
Seventh of Granite, Spring. Year 8I think Komra may be bitter at my new position.
Seven days ago I ordered my office to have its walls and floor engraved.
Komra has engraved flies on the walls of my office, knowing full well that I ABSOLUTELY DETEST THEM.
Luckily, if need be, my Lover, Tobul, the manager, will most likely let me use her office.
Other engravings include deities that I DO NOT worship looking offended.
Also, I moved Komra office and quarters across the hallway, so Tobul's office and quarters could be next to mine.
Eighth of Granite, Spring, Year 8I have ordered the previous mining operation to extend for eighteen more Urists downwards.
Nineth of Granite, Spring, Year 8Mining operation finished, mining another 20 Urists downwards.
Tenth Granite Spring, Year 8Today I discover that my current room is little more then a crack in the wall with a bed in it.
I designated mining for a room for Tobul and I deep underground, where a miner SHOULD be.
Twelth of Granite, Spring, Year 8Today I was told that we had struck milk opal, and I considered mining it to use in crafts and furniture, then I went to investigate, and discovered that It was in my future quarters.
Fourteenth of Granite, Spring, Year 8Mining operation complete, mining down ten additional Urists.
Sixteenth of Granite, Spring, Year 8Mining complete againt, going 10 Urists deeper.
Nineteenth of Granite, Spring, Year 8Granite.
It's all just granite.
Granite all the way down, it appears.
We've mined around 30 Urists downward, and yet, we are only getting granite.
I've ordered the miners to dig until they are 100 urists below ground level.
There, I shall mine out a tomb truly fit for a miner.
Twentith of Granite, Spring, Year 8Another cavern has been hit, along with raw adamantine.
Of course, the only adamantine in sight is a tiny glimpse of a ledge made of the marvelous blue metal.
Screw the tomb, I shall get Adamantine.
Suddenly, I catch word that a miner has refused to mine due to a nearby zombie bugbat.
I check my list of sighted monsters, and sure enough, there are many undead subterranian creatures in this new cavern.
Later, I get a message that my good friend and comrade Conan has withdrawn from society....
Twenty Second of Granite, Spring, Year 8After wandering through the fortress overnight, Conan seems to have made his way to a carpenters workshop, and is now walking about claiming materials to make some strange and my
sterious construction.
Twenty Third of Granite, Spring, year 8After toiling very hard for a day gathering materials, Conan has begun constructing something.
Twenty Fourth Granite, Spring, Year 8I station the new recruits down in the mines to take care of zombie bugbats.
Twenty Seventh Granite, Spring, Year 8Another Forgotten Beast has appeared in the caverns, hopefully the two terrible titans will fight each other and solve the problem.
Also, Conan finished his construction...
(And on that bombshell, it's time to end the update.)
(Also, looks like my turn gets cut short
)
(And is it possible to sign up for another turn?)
