Haha! We're almost at the location marked on the map! And they said we were stupid to start up a fortress here. Ha! We weren't stupid! Probably just sober.
Okay, maybe we were a little stupid. Bringing eight dwarves into an evil place like this with very few supplies has to be idiotic. Nay, it isn't idiotic! Simply dwarven! Now, as soon as we arrive, the other dwarves shall work endlessly to create a massive statue to the elves! None shall oppose the mighty tree-dwellers!The rest of the page is illegible due to being covered in dwarf blood.Change in handwriting...Well, I'm glad that traitorous bastard's been dealt with. He's been trying everything he could to get me overthrown! So what if he was one of the best leaders in the kingdom, while I he elected me due to his sobriety? He didn't need to try and frame me as a slave-driving elf-lover for his own stupidity! I'd burn down entire forests, and use the ashes to make a sculpture of myself burning the forests down and send it to those tree-humping hippies just for the hell of it!
Yet, he was right about some things. Mainly our stupidity, and the fact that stupidity was more dwarven than smartness. We only
kidnapped hired one military dwarf, and he (or maybe she, I can't tell) is barely even trained! (S)he has more training than me, though. I'm just a peasant with a good drinking habit.

We've made it to our destination in one piece. Well, everyone but "mayor" Urist. We left his corpse back down the path because the noble-stench was too unbearable. The place doesn't look too dangerous, but that just means that we'll soon have zombified monstrosities raiding the fortress. I've heard tales of legendary fortresses such as Battlefailed and Boatmurdered and I hope we don't end up like either of them.

The beginning design of the fortress is complete. A mason's workshop has been constructed, along with some doors, a trade depot, and a storage room for the useless piles of rock we find. Had to build a door quickly so the undead deer wouldn't run amok. They already scared the shit out of TreeMiner and scared him away from the trees, but Atir's already given those ones a run for their money, but one dwarf won't be enough, whereas a stone door will. Right now StoneHead's excavating more useless rock, and I'm making some tables and chairs from them for our dining room. This place will become a sprawling fortress, a pinnacle of dwarven engineering, I just know it!

Well, this place got boring quickly. Oh, I know how to liven up the place! Atir, go piss off a zombie!

To quote one of Battlefailed's overseers: "My god, this was a terrible idea." The cow moose is stomping the shit out of Atir, and now Dyg's trying to give him water
in the middle of fucking combat! If you live, I'm killing you both for stupidity.

Atir's bled out, and now Dyg's being chased around by an undead cougar. If you make it out alive again, I'm killing you. Maybe.
Only way to survive is to fight. Kill the bastard! Or be killed by it. Don't really care which. Just don't bring it back!
And somehow, it worked! Praise to the medic!
