8th of Slate, year 105We decided to move our garbage dump inside. There is just enough room outside after the siege and I don't want to risk another weak spot in our defenses due construction site. I know that was the achilles' heel last winter.
11th of Slate, year 105We decided to execute some of our prisoners to free up some cages. Eight cages containing our enemies were hauled to the arena and Derm's squad was ordered to prepare for slaughter.
When everything was ready and squad inside the lever was pulled once again. The battle was over quickly and the enemies slaughtered. No wounds were made to our soldiers, which can be explained by the disarming of the enemies. Derm killed a drow and goblin, just like Jacen did, Edmus killed one drow, and Nix killed one drow and goblin. Bowie managed to kill the remaining drow.
We have already begun the preparations for slaughtering the wild dogs sitting our cages as well. But that will have to wait a bit more.
17th of Slate, year 105One of our dwarves produced an artifact today. It's earring made from opal and decorated with opal.
20th of Slate, year 105Another group of migrants arrived today. Twenty-two dwarves entered our fortress, hoping to join our community.
Now that our population is well over one hundred and fifty dwarves it's time to consider proper housing. This huge project has already been started in priest quarters. After those bedrooms are ready we shall move to noble quarters and warrior quarters. After all these are ready we shall start mining out the peasant quarters.
7th of Felsite, year 105The sleeping quarters for our priests are ready. Several empty rooms exists so that we can quickly assign new rooms for any new priests.
16th of Felsite, year 105The elves are here again. And we shall give them the same treatment as we did to other merchants they sent here.
This time there were five merchants. It seems that each passing year they sent more and more merchants here even though none of them ever returns. That's a bit strange in my opinion. Nevertheless, it was time to slaughter some elves again. And this meant guiding them to the depot, which has so far seen more deaths than trading.
Five merchants, five warriors. The result? Five dead merchants, five excited warriors.
The five warriors are Derm "The Round Sockets" Kindlingabbeys, Jace "The Clear Volcano of Dyes" Channelivy, Bowie "The Meeting of Shields" Tomeshail, Nix "The Heroic Ring of Canyons" Slinglash and Edmus Channeledquakes.
