Spring 210:

Journal of Gizogin, Rawmancer:

12 Granite:
A fire imp got out of the magma pipe and started terrorizing the populace.  I immediately mobilized the military, myself included, and we ran down to the forges to deal with it.

13 Granite:
The imp chased Ingiz Kedolon, a metalsmith, into the tunnel to the checkerboard.  I was the first member of the miltary to reach it, and I fell on it in a rage.  I'm not entirely sure what happened, but when the smoke cleared, Ingiz and I were standing over a smashed imp, Ingiz was on fire, and I had a severed leg in my mouth.

14 Granite:

There's quite a bit of fire now.  Andreus, Ingiz, and two others died in the blaze.  Andreus claimed a new body.  I think it's his seventeenth now.

25 Slate:
Migrants, despite the danger.  They're not getting in.

11 Felsite:
Reudh II Dataniklist, Stoic was taken by a fey mood and claimed a mason's workshop.  The elven caravan arrived, but they're going to have to sit out in the blizzard.

13 Felsite:
Between yesterday and today, four goblin squads popped up to attack the migrants and the caravan.  I was right in leaving them outside.

15 Felsite:
A Forest Titan arrived!  An eyeless badger with a poisonous bite.  It's attacking the goblins right now; I'm watching to see who wins.

16 Felsite:
The goblins won.  Reudh started working on something.

20 Felsite:
Reudh finished working today, and came up with this:

[Reudh]

From the diary of Reudh II, Stoic

Well, I was just wandering about the fort doing my daily duties when a wondrous thought struck me. It was a table, the finest table.

A beautiful table.

I had to make it come into being. I had to. If I didn't, then I would go mad.
I think that this is what some dwarves speak of in hushed tones as 'going fey', the best possible divine inspiration a dwarf could have.

So, I kicked some dwarf out of my craftsdwarf workshop, and started gathering materials. Orthoclase, copper, diorite. Everything that marks us as DWARF.

Then, I uh... I blacked out.

I don't really remember what happened. I asked Gizogin about it, and he said that perhaps Armok had taken control of my body and briefly inspired me to make an artifact, the likes of which probably hadn't been seen before.

This table. I love this table. It took me four days, but I finished it. It's my life's work, my magnum opus.

I named it Mikstal Ber, "The Ownership of Earth". Very fitting.

So this what it feels like to be legendary... it's a curious feeling. Wondrous. Beautiful... I'm so happy right now.

NOTHING OF INTEREST, MOVE ALONG.

All quiet on the Western front?

Autumn 210

Journal of Gizogin, Wait I'm A Medical Dwarf, I Completely Forgot:

9 Limestone:
Monom Limulilul, Potter was possessed today.  These "strange moods" are getting more and more frequent.  He claimed a magma forge.

10 Limestone:
After grabbing a single bronze bar, Monom set to work.

14 Limestone:
Monom finished working today.


5 Timber:
That humanoid FB I mentioned earlier?  The one made of water?  It's dead.  Apparently, some previously-unknown marksdwarf just fired a steel bolt at it on the spur of the moment while it was walking around above the forges, and it just collapsed.

17 Timber:
The dwarven caravan arrived, and two goblin squads jumped out and attacked it.

Oh, and my greatest project nears completion:


BWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

Oh, and my greatest project nears completion:


BWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

A mysterious row of levers with no documentation on what they do.  You MONSTER!

Four of these levers are essential to the smooth operation of the fortress, five will kill everyone inside, and one releases a kitten.  YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHICH IS WHICH!
(Nah, I'm exaggerating.  There isn't really a kitten.)

Winter 210:

Well, not much happened.  Ieb made an artifact ring, but that's about it.

The save is here.

[Newbunkle]

Jolly good update! Loved the bit with the fire imp.

Did you spot my dwarf anywhere or is he dead already? I still don't know what job he was given. Would be interesting to find out.

[Johuotar]

Is there Kaamanen dwarf? I read somewhre he was redorfed.

[Ieb]

I make an artifact and there's not anything about it? Everyone else gets a screenshot and I get "but that's about it"?

You really hate me, don't you?

GOTTA SAVE THE KITTEH!

Hey, it was late and I wanted to get some sleep.  You should take it as a compliment that your artifact was the most significant thing that happened during the winter, and that it was the only thing I deemed worthy of coverage.

[Ieb]

It's cool braw, I bet it was a crappy 1-item ring anyway.
Speaking of which, wasn't my dorf a woodcrafter?

God damn it. At least I still have my Lūk's vanguard, right?

Was that one of the military squads?  I know there were only thirteen dwarves total in the military when I started, but I didn't pay attention to the specifics.
