18th of Granite, year 108The eastern wall has been finished. This means the northern border is only left. In there we shall construct the entrance as well.
Still no word from mountain home. I hope everything is alright. It would be a shame if we lost the queen at this point, we are so close to become the capitol of dwarven civilization.
5th of Slate, year 108Our soldiers are bored. Derm informed me that they are getting lazy with the lack of action. Well, lets give them some action then.
Several cages were moved to the new arena and linked to the lever. After everything was done I ordered the Golden Depressions to prepare and station inside the arena for some action.
After everything was ready the lever was pulled and the prisoners were freed. The slaughter was quick, as the goblins and trolls had no chance against Derm's squad.
When the fight had ended I checked the mood of our soldiers. Some of them were just shrugging as the battle was just a form of spending time here. Few of them were enjoying the real action, like the green soldier G. He was in fact ecstatic due the possibility of having live practice. That's good.
10th of Slate, year 108Our workers were interrupted by the pack of wild dogs while working at the northeast corner of the map. The dogs were quite vicious, even attacking when some of our workers went too close. I ordered the archers to go out there and kill the dogs but unfortunately we were too late; one dwarf dodged the attack of wild dog and fell in the pool. The poor dwarf drowned.
To get reach the body we must drain the pool. Damn! This is slowing our work too much!
20th of Slate, year 108The Queen is here! The Queen is here!!
Her Majesty arrived our fortress today! And with her she brought the whole court and all the servants she had, which means twenty-two dwarves, queen included.
When the royal banners were spotted I was notified and thus I was out there to greet Her Majesty. And first thing she said? "What the hell is all this blood doing here? Why don't you clean it up?! And why haven't you constructed the proper entrance already? Now be a good dwarf and take my luggage and guide me to my quarters. I haven't had my daily beauty sleep yet!"
Yes, that's the queen I remember.
23rd of Felsite, year 108Apparently G had been working with some kind of artifact lately and today he finally finished it.
It's toga, made from giant cave spider silk.
Now, the unfortunate thing is, when he finished the artifact he came right to my office. To my office where I was just having a private conversation with the queen about the details of the entrance. And even more unfortunate was that he never knocked before entering. This made the queen quite mad.
"Who the hell are you and how dare you to interrupt our discussion? Didn't your mother teach you to knock before entering? And why are you still standing? Kneel! And next you shall leave this room and report to captain of the guard, Conchobar II I think was the name. She shall decide what's the correct punishment for your lack of manners!"
I have never seen anybody leave my fortress as quickly as G did. Later I discovered that he was punished by giving him the extra shift in duty. In reality it was no punishment at all but the queen doesn't know this and nobody is going to tell her that. And so the incident was dealt.
