8th TimberWork on the storerooms proceeds faster now that we have three miners; Me, Othello, and Kel Idokmonom, a new arrival. I have begun ordering the stores moved deeper underground.
On another note, I have noticed the ghost of Tirist Kivishidok, the farmer killed by the harpies, has begun haunting us. I have ordered a temporary masons built so as to build and engrave a slab to put him to rest.
19th TimberI have ordered the trade depot to
finally be constructed, and just in time to, as the caravan has been sighted!
However, the lack of any goods to trade is a small problem, but not an insurmoutable one. We have dug up several valuable gems during our excavations of the storerooms, so I've ordered the construction of a jewelers to cut these gems for trade.
25th TimberOur Expedition Leader Inod Olonurol(Cousin to the Royal Guard and Militia Commander Inod Ozkakmorul) met with the liaison today. Upon my recommendations, we requested more alcohol, some more lye and gypsum powder(sadly, it appears that while ores are plentiful here, gypsum is not among one of those), and an assortment of meats. Meanwhile, our resident jeweler(and bookkeeper) Minkot has cut almost enough gems to trade with.
13th MoonstoneMore Harpies! Where do they keep coming from? ...No matter, I've ordered Inod to handle the problem, which he does with efficiency.
16th OpalThings have been quiet lately, so I guess that's why the harpies showed up. It seems they just won't learn their lesson. Inod's already on his way....
20th OpalUnfortunately, Inod arrives just a bit too late as the harpies manage to corner our cook.
9th ObsidianThe Time fast approaches when I must relinquish Overseership as tradition dictates. I would like to get in a dining room before then, but it appears not to be. Still, I have accomplished much, though there is ever more to do...
16th ObsidianAfter a couple of months of haggling, we have finally reached an agreement with the liaison.
Of particular note is the dire need of gems and fish in the Mountainhomes; items that we can easily supply here in Spearfalls. I'll make a note for the next overseer...
19th ObsidianI'll give you three guesses as to what showed up again, and the first two don't count. Yep, Harpies. This time they didn't kill anyone, but they did injure several dwarfs. As a note to future overseers, you might want to wall and roof the upper pasture next to the farms, or find the caverns and carve out your own pasture. Worst off is one of our founders, woodworker Aban. He manages to stumble to the small hospital I had set up at the entrance, where I proceed to work on him. I..I'm not sure, but I think I can save his arm...
22nd ObsidianLuckily, Aban's injury, while still severe, is not as bad as it looks. while he'll have impairment, all it really needs is a dressing and some cleaning.
1st GraniteSpring arrives, and so I must now do my duty and pass on leadership. Truthfully, I am too busy taking care of the victims of the harpy attacks to lead at the moment anyways.I'll find a suitable replacement in a moment...
End of year tally
save
http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=5094And thats a wrap! I'll update op with the save as well. As I noted, you might want to either wall of and roof the pasture to protect against harpies, or you can just burrow to the caverns to release the spores and create your own pasture. We need a dining room, bedrooms, and more workshops, as well as making the entrance make sense. I'll also advise being VERY careful about excavating above the storeroom area; reveal shows some leeway, as well as a couple magnetite clusters, but if you dig the wrong square, well, the dorfs would need to learn to breathe underwater FAST. One last thing, we also need to get Inod some backup;while he's been handling the harpies, he's getting progressively rather more battered after each fight, since he is often going up against 2 or 3 at once.
Now, Master, you're up!
