First of Limestone, Autumn, year 8I have decided to postpone digging deeper until alll of the currently qeued adamantine crafts are made.
In other news, I have designated more workshop area to be dug out in the adamantine craftin area, so we shall be able to extract adamantine strands and smelt them into wafers faster.
And the metalworkers have stopped annoying me about "mismatched Armor" and let me wear my adamantine greaves.
Second of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8The weather has died down and the humans have stopped complaining.
Thank Armok.
Also, it seems as if the miners are having a hard time grasping that the zombies bugbats are on the opposite side of the wall, and cannot hurt them.
Third of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8The sculpture garden only needs three more statues to be made and placed, then it will be finished! Hopefully we shall se more parties around these gloomy granite halls.
(gloomy is an immense understatement, 9 out of every ten dwarves in this fort are ecstatic.)
Fourth of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8I noticed a handful of dwarves complaining about not having beds, so I ordered large rooms to be dug out and beds to be made. Hopefully, by the end of the year, we'll have a bedroom for every dwarf.
Also, the situation in the cavern isn't as bad now. Most of the water had dried up now, and trenches have been dug around the aquifier.
Fifth of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8Some dwarves were a little late to getting the message that we'd finished trading with the humans, and brought some boulders of raw adamantine up to trade. The traders stood in awe for several minutes while Conan made his way back up the to depot to trade again.
I also removed Conan from the Militia, and instead appointed him as captain of the guard. Along with him I also employed some dwarves who complained that they had no job to work as the guard.
Sixth of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8Now Conan is demanding to have a office, dining room, and bedroom that is fit for a captain of the guard.
The demands weren't extravagant, so I complied, but made a mental note to not let the power go to his head.
Nineth of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8Work on mining our the Barracks for the guard, and bedrooms has begun. Hopefully our miners will work quickly. We also traded a boulder of raw adamantine for the rest of the human's stock today.
Tenth of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8The two adamantine picks were finished today! Both of them have yet to be claimed though...
The barracks still hasn't been mined out, but Conan's rooms are coming along well...
One more statue until the sculpture garden is finished...
Eleventh of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8The humans are still here. We;ve traded for everything they have and yet they are still sitting in the trade depot, strangely. Conan's rooms are almost fully smoothed now, and work on mining out the barracks has begun.
Twelth of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8Work on mining out the two rooms so that there are more beda availible has started. Though I must say, those rooms are not very high on my priority at the moment.
Squid still doesn't think his room is good enough, so I decide to put some of the cages we got from the elves in there to shut him up. I do the same for conan, since setting up a cage and stuffing animals in there seems to greatly increase the value of the room.
Thirteenth of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8The metalsmiths approached me today, and suggested that we dig for magma and power the forges with it, instead of burning all the wood we have. The idea was reasonable, so I told the miners to mine further downwards. Later, the second adamantine breastplate was forged. A gem cutter, who I assume is part of the guard told me he was picking up his equiment, and I figured that he was claiming the breastplate, but then I noticed he was running UP the stairs and not down them. I couldn't help but wonder what he was getting.
Fourteenth of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8One of the miners informed me that there were at least three layers of marble under out feet, which we could used to make steel, if we had the fuel and some iron. Because of this, I figured it was worth much more then other stones. Perhaps we should be crafting amrble instead of granite?
Also, the guard's barracks has been fully mined out...
I made sure some armor stands and weapon rack were made, along with coffers for the barracks.
Fifteenth of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8It seems putting cages full of hens in his room made squid shut up.
Sixteenth of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8The miners have hit semi-molten rock, with means Magma can't be too far away!
Seventeenth of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8The final statue for the statue garden is complete! Now it just needs to be moved to the statue garden...
Nineteenth of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8The merchants finally left today, and almost directly after they did, the miners hit warm stone...
Twentieth of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8I was interrupted on my way down to the mines with news that Conan had made a masterpeice.
Turns out he'd made and extremely well crafted bed in the carpenters workshop.
I checked in witht he metalsmiths today, all that we need to smelt is a pair of adamantine gauntlets for Conan, and High Boots for both Conan and I.
Twenty First of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8Conan created another masterpeice bed today, and everybody feels the need to tell me, apparently, because every time he creates a masterpeice bed, a messenger comes to my office and tells me. It's rather annoying, frankly.
Farmerbob met with me today and told me that he had refused to mine a tunnel because the stone he was supposed to mine was warm. I told him to check to see if there is magam under the warm stone.
Soon, we may be able to use wood for things other than charcoal.
Twenty Second of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8Another goblin snatcher was spotted today. The caravan guards killed it almost immediatly, though. Almost all of the water in the cavern is gone now, hopefully by next month there will be no trace of the incident.
Twenty Third of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8The miners discovered a great magma sea today. Also inside the sea was another pillar of adamantine. I traced the spire upwards, and started mining towards where it might be located... what I hadn't heard the messenger say is that we had mined into the side of the magma sea. the miner Jeffery nearly died. Luckily he was smart enough to drop all of his clothes that had caught fire and run out of the tunnel.
Twenty Fourth of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8More progress on the barracks today. The whole place is smoothed and has all the armor stands it needs.
Twenty Fifth of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8
A giant arrived today, as the militia and I charged after it, I was further behind then the rest, and watched as the attacks from the militia barely harmed it through it's fat. Luckily, the militia are much too quick for the brute, and it can't land a blow on any of them without missing. I was able to keep up the giant, and gave it a couple whacks ans it charged straight through our line of stonefall traps. Eventually the giant gave up and fainted in our entrance, so the militia formed a circle in it and took turns attacking the beast's head. One of the spear weilders eventually shattered the skull, and tore the monster's brain, killing it.
Twenty Seventh of Limestone, Autumn, Year 8Most of the furniture for the Barracks is complete. Only one more coffer needs to be completed and it will be done. For some reason the miners feel the need to inform me about every Urist of stone that is warm. Obviously they lack the deduction skills to figure out that stone that is above magma is bound to be warm.
(Of course, printscreen malfunctioned and caught some of the DF:MP steam chat.)
