th Felsite to 24
th Galena, year 14:
I am very fortunate to have been alone this time. No one must know what I am.
Some people tell stories of gods creating avatars, bodily versions of themselves. You could say that I am such a dwarf but Armok... Well, he is erratic. He creates worlds, a wondrous and awesome creation- but they are steeped in warfare. For this reason, carnage tends to awaken his influence in me. I have been cast out for my apparent mental disorder, but I have finally found a home, accepted by those who know not of my fate.
I only hope that I may continue to hide my condition.
These corpses REALLY SMELL BAD
You would think that with all the rotting these things do, they'd eventually just disintegrate.
The undump machines have failed miserably due to some oddity with this fortress' dwarves. apparently, they have discovered jumping. Such is the bane of engineers. Stone clearing will now be done by more traditional atom smashing.
I have designated the obsidian farm as a more literal farm.
It's not as if we NEED more rocks, and we are in state of serious food deficit. We got down to the point of having about 10 barrels of wine on hand.
At least the volcanic soil will grow crops quite well.
The new stockpile has been cleared, the areas designated.
Left to right- adamanitine, bar/block, furniture.
Once again, dwarves are becoming consumed by their greed. HUZZAH!
At least the latter is making some contribution to the fortress as a result.
It's got some engravings on it, too. Meh. At least he's a bit better at his craft now.
...and then, BOO!
And that's how one poor dwarf got scared to death. Pansy.
So as to stop this from reoccurring to someone important, I order some more coffins to be placed in a near-empty tomb.
As if sensing the death, a particularly odorous creature appeared outside the cavern palisades.
It will be watched, but is of little concern. Whoever had these walls built did well.
Oh, good. Something to test the newly-improved defenses on.
Not much of a force, but I expect others to be sighted.
I'll have to command from my inner chambers. I can't risk being thrown out again, and these zeds are already covered in gore, which doesn't help with my *condition* at all.
TO BE CONTINUED.
