17th of Felsite
War is upon us! The enemy stands at the gates! The vile Tigermen are besieging us. Roughly 100 in number, their thundering footsteps can be heard even on the lowest floors of Emedefíni. But what of our defences? What of our militia? Surely, they will protect us will they not? Oh, but they are too few. A mere 17 soldiers is not enough to hold back an army of this magnitude.
Our scouts depicted them early. We had time to get the majority of our people inside. Only two remained outside when the bridges were heaved and the doors locked. The exile, and the mayor. The traitor, having been exiled to the farthest corner of our lands was quickly discovered and killed by the Tigermen. A fate he very much deserved.
19th of Felsite
The mayor managed to elude the aggressors for a while, but in the end his fate was inevitable. Today they caught up with him to the south east of the fortress. The fight was brief.
We have no hope for survival. The mayor is dead, and soon the rest of us will share his fate. It's only a matter of time before the Tiger army breaches our walls. They've set up camp outside our main bridge. Now, the only way for reinforcements to enter the fortress is if we unlock the doors. However, this would mean out end.
6th of Hematite
No more. We cannot sit idly by any longer. We must fight back! We are dwarves, and tonight, we unlock the gates! Let them come. With hammer and axe we will defend our home. These halls belong to us. If they wish to have them, they must come and take them! A mere hour after the doors where unlocked, the tigermen began to charge into the fortress. Dozens of them, entering these hallowed halls. Many of them got slaughtered by our traps almost immediately. But there where too many. Wish each death, they pushed further and further into the fortress. I don't know what set this madness off, but a few our us attempted to rush past them in a desperate attempt to escape the fortress. I warned the fools not to go, but they wouldn't listen. They got cut down mercilessly.
OOC: This is kind of a lol picture. One of the tigermen fell down the lava-chute. however instead of dying instantly he DROWNED in the lava!
13th of Hematite
The militia has set an ambush for the invaders on the 3rd z-lvl. We had to sacrifice one of our ranks to lure the enemie, but our trap worked splendidly. We used the hallway as a chocking point, and managed to kill them all off one by one. A few of the Tigermen retreated and attempted to regroup north of the fortress, but we chased them down and killed them. Only one escaped our vengeance. Let him be living proof, of the might of Emedefíni. The battle was over at last.
14th of Hematite
Our army is glorious. No one can stop us. And from now on, any outsiders that enter these halls will meet the same fate as those Tigermen. The siege has ravaged the fortress and we need supplies. Kill the traders. Cut them down! Leave no one alive! Seize their goods!
It seems the bloodshed has given our people a taste for blood. Just this morning i discovered some dwarves cheering on a dog fight.
OOC: How the HELL did this happen?!
25th of Hematite
In lue of the arrival of yet another batch of immigrants i've deemd it necessary to construct additional housing.
1st of Limestone
The gem setter was seen running through the halls flailing his arms around, and shouting. Apparently he had created some sort of artifact.
22nd of Galena
Oh horror! It is too soon! We have not yet fully recovered from the last battle! To make matters worse, our new enemy, the Badgermen, is not nearly as hesitant as the Tiger army. They immediately charge the west door. And worse still is that many of our traps have not yet been cleaned and repaired. I don't know if we'll survive this.

1st of Sandstone
For the sake of the completion of the grand design i wish to remain anonymous. I am the right hand of overseer Ifeno. I operate in the shadows. I must report terrible news. Ifeno as well as over 20 others have died to mysterious circumstances. We know not what or whom is responsible, but i will lead an investigation to find out. Furthermore, due to the current siege, the grand design may not be complete in time. We must find a way to defeat this army! Finally, one of the great ones has been found dead. I do not know who is responsible for this, but i assume it is the same individual behind the recent deaths. I will record any findings here.
END OF THE SECOND UPDATE
