Journal of Crustypeanut Momuzushat “Cryptbasements”, Chef and Mayor of Ingizzurusul, “Ceilingchew”, Entry Two
Its been a few months since I've last wrote anything here. Not much has happened. Merchants came late autumn, I've ordered a large amount of foodstuffs for cooking – milk, cheese, flour, sugar, and the like. Maybe next year I'll have some real ingredients to work with.
We've began building a tower – what its for, I haven't decided yet. Maybe the next mayor will find a use for it. For now, I'm glad to get some of these lazy bums some work. Theres just not enough hauling for them to do it seems.
A metalsmith withdrew from society today. A few weeks later, he brought me a steel crossbow of the finest craftsdwarfship I had ever seen. He called it, “The Hairy Razors”, an odd name to be sure. Perhaps its meant to razor the hair off of our enemies?
Late in the winter, Goblin Christmas had come. I told everyone to get inside and ordered the archers up on the ramparts and the militia into the trade depot. The plan worked perfectly, excluding the two soldiers who disobeyed orders and ran outside anyways. One was killed, the other lost her baby-shield. Numerous goblins and trolls were caught, more were killed.
The tower is just about done – I am unable to draw a full picture of it, but the base of it is as follows:
For now, I don't know what to do with the tower, though I believe using the roof to drop prisoners from it's heights sounds like a rather interesting idea.
And, with that, my year is over. The tower's roof wasn't completed, though the plans are laid for it to be so. Prisoners have been moved to the second to highest level, awaiting execution.
Plans were also designed to deepen the Pit of Doom that a predecessor had made. The pit would be deep enough that nearly anything that fell down there would burst into a dozen pieces upon impact. As my grandfather always said – “It's not the fall that kills you, its the sudden stop at the end.”
I look forward to continuing my job as chef again, as this mayoral work added a few extra lines of gray in my hair. I hope not to repeat it.

Pretty boring year imo, though I got a bit done with reorganizing the fort. Yes, there are occasionally a TON of idlers, but when you need a construction done, you got about 30+ workers building it. It gets done FAST. When you need something hauled, it gets HAULED. Trust me. We got a ton of people ready to haul anything you need.
All of the other main jobs are busy doing their jobs, and theres plenty of food and alcohol. We're low on crafts, but with the amount of gold and silver i've been mining, we can get tons made. Gems are also plentiful. Most are lower value, but I did find some emeralds and blue garnets.
I'll post the save soon.
