20th Slate
The floodgates have opened twice more since i ordered them sealed, if i could find the trigger i would destroy it, but i don't even know where to start looking for it.
24th Slate
all the containment walls are complete, operation "REVENGE" is well underway. and it seems that my earlier observations about the magma pipe were incorrect and it is indeed filling faster than it is draining. we should have magma at our forges by the end of summer.
5th Felsite
Construction of operation REVENGE is 75% complete. i've had the miners excavate a shorter route to the dining area and have marked out plans for my private suite, which resides next to the Kennels. I let Aban Anamdodok, my fiancee, design our burial chamber. she says that i can't look untill it's completed. i'm sure she'll do a good job.

Lookouts on the wind farm have informed me that Frogmen have come to reinforce the Tigermen! well fuckberries, it looks like we won't be leaving our hole anytime soon...
the mayor came to me today in a rage, she was furious about the state of her quarters, or lack of... i've marked a small area to be cleared and furnished to the mayor's likings, after i get my suite of course.
i've also ordered the metalsmiths make some real weapons, and the crafters to make some bone armor for our militia, i know the armor isn't great, but it's better than nothing.
20th Felsite
Urgh, i'm fed up with these stupid frogmen! time to fiddle with a few levers... may armok help us. hmmm, many of these levers don't seem to be connected to anything at all... Finally! a lever that dose something! i listened to the grating of the mechanisms and when one of the militia came running to me with news of the drawbridge lowering i thanked armok silently for guiding my hand.
22nd Felsite
another runner from the militia came to me today and told me that our junior mechanic has gone outside! they said he was talking about finishing some long overdue linkage. i ran up to the wind farms as fast as my legs would carry me, and i watched everything unfold.
then mechanic ran wildly, and trapped herself above the entrance, one of the frogmen caught up to her and stabbed her twice with a spear before it became stuck in her gut! the mechanic howled in pain and vomited as the frogman knocked her to the ground and started biting, punching and kicking the poor mechanic until the spear came loose. the junior mechanic, lay broken and bleeding on the ground, eying her adversary with a mixed look of fear and hatred, she issued a low growl and spat in the frogman's face, seconds before the copper spear was sent through her skull.
i've ordered everyone else to stay inside, and let them face the might of our starving war bear!
23rd Felsite
we heard the dying roars of our starving war bear, if they can so easily down such a ferocious beast, then what hope dose our militia possibly stand against them? i've had the outer door of the barracks locked and the drawbridge raised, i underestimated our enemies, and have paid the price.
25th Felsite
it turns out that our weapon trap has killed two to the frogmen, we salvaged their spears and shields for our militia. i've commissioned 11 more weapons traps constructed, each filled with serrated glass disks. when we reopen our gates, the frogmen won't know what hit them.
26th Felsite
One of the fort's children has been inspired by recent events and has taken a craftsdwarves workshop! no soon did he take the workshop did he start working furiously on his great creation.. i just hope he makes something useful.
1st Hematite
the summer heat is beginning to set in, i've told the lookouts to drink plenty of booze and to take shorter shifts.
The starving war bear has been replaced by a Starving Cougar.
3rd Hematitie
Our child prodigy has emerged from the workshop raising a gleaming white object for all to see
hmm, not very impressive, but i'm sure one of the militia will find a use for it.
10th Hematite
with our meager wood supplies exhausted i've allowed the woodcutters to clear cut a small portion of the caverns.
22nd Hematite
due to excessive complaints about getting toes squished, the hallway leading to the barracks has been widened, and a temporary access tunnel has been dug to speed the weapon trap construction.
12 Malachite
our militia is now armed and armored with the finest iron equipment we can produce! at least they now have a slim chance of beating the frog men if they get through our traps.
20th Malachite
all the weapon traps are operational! i'm having the masons reseal the access tunnel and open the gates! Victory is in our grasp!
22st Malachite
The gate was opened today, and from my vantage point i watched as the foolish creatures charged headlong towards their doom. their leader was up front riding a war tiger, she entered the hall, and never came back out. the rest of the group lost all faith in the attack after witnessing their leader getting dismembered and fled. Victory... but i was hoping for a few more frogmen bodies to show for it.
26th Malachite
Migrants! as soon as the word reached the common area ImBocaire told me that it is my duty as overseer to greet each of them and assign them labors. fuckberries, more paperwork...
seven, seven more mouths to feed. the only notable one in the group was a surgeon who also had considerable military experience, i'm torn as to where to put her.
well they may be mostly useless, but at least the Problematic Portals has a full compliment of recruits now.
the miners have also dug a staircase up to the plateau above our entrance and have secured all the staircases with hatches. i'll let someone else figure out what to do with it, i've been away from my gems for far too long.
5th Galena
HUZZAH! THREE CHEERS FOR THE SCOUTS! the tunnel scouts have identified where the magma is draining from, we're digging a water channel to it's location, with hopes of sealing it with an obsidian plug.
7th Galena
THEM DAMN DIRTY APES! some monkeys stormed the entrance today, to be promptly cut into tiny chunks by our traps
15th Galena
The Beak Wolves are back! All civilians stay inside! the lookouts said that they came from over the mountain, and that they brought their war leader with them!
then there came more cries "BEAK WOLVES TO THE WEST" "MORE TO THE SOUTH" "ANOTHER GROUP SPOTTED ON THE MOUNTAIN!" the lookouts counted five squads of the fouls beasts approaching. i think it's time the militia had some live training.
17th Galena
A THOUSAND CURSES! the greater badgermen have come to aid the beak dogs with their attack! at least there's only a single squad, and by the report's i'm getting, they are rather poorly equipped. the militia may still be able to handle this, though i think i'll tell them to let the traps take care of a few first.
18th Galena
BY ARMOKS BLOODY BEARD! WHAT THE FUCK!? a three squads of Tigerman Calvary has joined the assault. and they've brought war Leopards! the militia will be hard pressed to hold back this many foes.
20 Galena
The beak wolves and war leopards have jammed most of out traps, i've ordered the entrance bridge to be raised and lowered repeatedly.
21st Galena
It's working! every time the bridge lowers i can hear screams and a crunchy splatting sound. there's a few less for the boys in iron to worry about!
i've just gotten word from the lookouts that the badgermen are setting camp and refuse to advance. looks like we're going to have to go to them.
25th Galena
The bridge was stopped and the militia charged out to meet the remaining Tigermen, Beak Wolves, and Greater Badgermen. they've got a tough fight ahead of them.
there's another squad of Tigermen Calvary off screen, this will be a tough fight.
