First look says - It' a madeness! I didn't unpauses it yet, just took a look around.
Journal of Ast "Orbseath" Vabokber, Miner.
Today I woke up with a strange itching in my head. It was... an inspiration? A sense of existence? Whatever, I can't be just an ordinary miner anymore.It's time to change EVERYTHING!
So I'm officially changing my name to Gar.
Ok, diary, lets take a look around and see what we can change in this crazy place...


- NOOOOOO!!!! DON'T TOUCH IT!
Better left it untouched.

Whose idea it was? Brilliant!  I'm fighting with eager desire to activate it, just to watch the !!Show!!. Especially liked the target zone.

What a carp, we're getting flooded by Smurfs!


Also, there is complicated engineering structure deep inside volcano. I have no idea what it's for, but it's submerged at lava and I can't do anything with it.

There is a great flooded hall that MUST be dried! It's quite a job to prove my worthiness.

--
Someone let the pigeon beast into the fortress, and it tore the head of woodcutter! We have to find the hole it passed through. Oh, first kill the beast and then patch the hole.

Beast is dead, but while military guys went down, it killed stoneworker and suturer.

Also we have a bunch of migrants, despite the danger. Greetings, guys, here's the place where we need some spare hands.

Somehow I get the feeling that the entire trap I spent half a year working on is now rendered null.

Journal of Gar the Miner
Work on reclaiming flooded hall goes as planned. Most water sources were plumbed, drainage also was dug out. I'll punch the last hole...

Manewhile Zon Anvilvillage got an inspiration. He claimed crafts workshop and collects stuff..

We punched the hole, but the second miner was washed down to the drainage and drowned there. So now I am the only miner here. I can do all by myself!

Whoa! We have an invasion of white tigermen! Ast Salvecrimson, Legendary Engraver went out for socks and found himself just in the middle of hostile tigers! What a loss... 

Oh, an ambus of goblin lashers. This place is getting crowded.

And finally, frog men siege. AAAARGH!!!!!!!
Siege goes on. Three civilians, who were socking outside, died. Tigermen army squeezes through trapped entrance, half-dead already. Goblins and frogmen still waiting for their turn.
Zon created birchen toy boat. I hope he won't insist on getting outside ant trying it on the nearest pond. But the boat is quite pretty, after all... Hey, we don't have a broker who can value how much it worth!

EAGLES! Giant war eagles! Somehow they got inside! Call to arms!

Our military guys are great, but they squad is too small. We need more!
It's summer now.
So, now the we have:
All weapon traps are stuck with bodies. A few tigermen locked inside grinder and can't get back
Frogmen riding tigers patiently waiting on the surface, frogmen riding eagles are flying chaotically at the sky like bouncing balls
Goblin lashers are also waiting for that happy day when I'll open the gates and let them in.
Those two eagles that entered fortress are being butchered.
We need more traps. 1-2 weapons in each, but long passage filled with it.

[noodle0117]

If yo want protection from air attacks, you're going to have to seal up the opening from the volcano.

[peregarrett]

Yes, I put hatch hovers at the stairs that lead to volcano.

Journal of Gar, the Miner

I'm very proud of myself. We reclaimed that flooded hall! It's still has some water in it, but eventually it'll dry out. Idle people is busy with burying bodies that were there.
Twoo of three sources are patched - one with obsidian, one with cave-in plumb. Last hole that wasn't pached was transformed to waterfall instead, and I put sreen glass statue of Shorast Roughnessstones with gneis mug, so any passing by dwarf can drink from it.
Idlers now burying bodies that we found there. Numerous ghosts are vanishing. It's quite a deal!

[Crazy Cow]

Aww, ghosts add flavor!
Personally, I don't bother with the whole "burial" thing unless I actually care about the dwarf in question or the ghost gets violent. Legendary dining rooms can do so much, don't you think?

[peregarrett]

Well, I didn't order them to do burials, they just rushed there when I unfobade doors and hauled bodies to tombs, and I was too lazy to forbid corpses the were carrying. But we'll have ghosts from killed dwarfs outside.

sory, didn't do much today, go to sleep now.

[andyman564]

awww, no more swimming pool... at least reclaiming it was a mild inconvenience.

[peregarrett]

Massive water flows and invaders pathing makes my laptop ask for mercy. FPS is less than 10! 

I added some magma to grinder, so those who dodge weapon traps burn to ashes! Also we need mass-cleaning, so I ordered to dig large storage halls and recriuted some useless people to miners.

As long as you keep us updated on what you're doing, you cna take as long as you like. Thanks for trucking through it all!

I'll do my best, sir!

By the way, I launched mist generator that was build unpowered by one of my preceeders. I called it "Crazy Cow's mist", because it has four Crazy Cow's glass statues placed under outputs of pumps.

[Crazy Cow]

I thought I bit the dust a while back? Ah well, landmarks named after me are just as good
May I be cheeky enough to request some engraved slabs in my name next to those statues?
