[Continued from the last entry]
Okay, no manager, no carpenter, no mechanic, no woodcutter, more masons than we really need...tons of crap strewn about the surface, even the wood from he wagon...literally no defenses...
Let's get started.
I assign the first dwarf I see with carpentry experience to the carpenter's position, someone who doesn't look like he gets a lot of work to mechanics, and some fisher guy and a gem cutter to cut wood. Wood is more important than fish or gems by my reckoning. Cog Paddledlove, the expedition leader and a humanophile

Who chose this guy to lead?
but still the best man for the job, is now the manager and bookkeeper. Also, as an appraiser, a merely-competant mason was made the broker for when we trade. Mostly because of the appraisal skill, but also partly because with a name like “Dagger,” he should be an intimidating figure. After setting up orders for a bit of encircling wall, I call it a day.

A cow, a donkey, and a goat were saved from starvation by being hauled to a pasture. At least, I hope that'll happen. I wonder why the previous leader left them in their cages?
I order a large amount of furniture made.
I also looked at the now-communal bedroom. Its engravings are of battles, monsters, and clouds. What was this guy thinking? I even see stylized dwarves that symbolize our civilization and learn that clouds are this settlement's symbol. Probably everyone here has their heads in 'em.
I have a large room expanded, to form a future dining room...
...and choose a spot to build some neat, little rooms.
These will be bedrooms (102 of them) and meeting areas (25 of them, including the central one by the staircase).
Work is beginning on the dining area.

I order all three of the cats we have to be put into the food storage area. I also set some kitchen orders. Oh, and the mechanic's workshop was built.
Granite 4, 127
My next bit of progress on the Deathway is being started.
Native copper was struck in the northeastern walls of our future dining hall. We've got galena galore, native aluminum, and a wide variety of other minerals at our disposal, so I won't be mining the copper. Aside from the little bit in the corner. Continuing the mineral report, there is microcline in the southeastern part of the room. Also, there is still pyrite, tetrahedrite, and some native aluminum in the room, lke there was before, with the main minerals being alunite and obsidian.

Muthkat Letterflags, the engraver, is starting to smooth the dining room. The miners are almost done with their mining bit there, too, but they've still got about a tenth of the room to d-
That was fast. Muthkat just started his second section of wall when the miners went to start the sleeping area. When they say “Legendary,” they mean it...Anyways, work is beginning on the meeting/sleeping areas.

I choose a spot for the bureaucrat's office near his once and future bedroom. It's much bigger than said bedroom, but it'll also be his personal dining room and we struck amethyst in the walls. To compensate, we're putting a nest box in there.
Granite 7, 127
A llama grew up.
Granite 8, 127
The nest box was set up, and a guineahen screeched, sensing a chance to unload its load of eggs. Omlettes, anyone?
Granite 9, 127
A llama grew up.
Also, the guineahen, after traversing the staircase, claimed the nestbox in what would surely be one of the great tales of travel and triumph if it wasn't so stupid.
Cobalite and milk quartz were struck in one of the meeting areas.
Since the first part of the wall was completed, I have another, larger section started.
Granite 10, 127
Microcline was struck in the future meeting/sleep areas.
Granite 11, 127
The office is dug out now.
A dog gave birth.
Granite 13, 127
Finally, a bedroom was started to be dug out. Now a bed can be placed!
Mechanisms are being built. The pressure plate to trigger the hatches and such is being built. Yippee. According to the mechanic, the triggering when people step on it is inevitable, so a hole in the wall is bring left for now, people are being restricted from stepping on the plate, and the ehtire pathway has been designated as low-traffic.
Cinnabar has been struck in a meeting area.
Granite 15, 127
The bed has been installed. Another bedroom is being dug. Soon the beurocrat will have his own bedroom.
Stibnite has been struck in the doorway of a bedroom.
Granite 16, 127
Another puppy was born.
Granite 17, 127
One bedroom was fully dug out! Too bad a bed hasn't been added yet.
I'm going to stop being so exact about how much is all dug out and stuff. I'M starting to get bored of it, I hate to think of a non-intellectual dwarf (most anyone not running stuff) reading this all at once would think.
Granite 19, 127
Our woodcutter announced himself as such-wait, he's a better carpenter than our current one! Fixing immediately!
Granite 21, 127
A dog gave birth to to more puppies! I'm building a kennel and having the puppies kept in a cage until they can be trained for war.
The last bed was used...well, designated for use.
Granite 22, 127
Two more puppies! Soon they will overrun us!
The cage was placed. The full dozen puppies we have will be placed in said cage until ready to be trained.
Granite 23, 127
My new plan for dealing with puppies is much the same as the old, but leaves us with more future breeding stock.
The cook is cooking a meal of llama and donket cheese, reindeer meat, and camel eye, having already graced us with a good number of roasts.
Granite 24, 127
It is official: We have more bedrooms than beds.
Granite 25, 127
As I believe was the original intent of the first overseer of this place, I ordered a third jewler's workshop built. Not sure why, but it was his choice. Or implication of a choice.
Granite 28, 127
The next part of the Deathwalk is well underway.
And on this note the month ends.
Here is how the living quarters are shaping up:
When I came here, Incestchained was just a big hole in the ground. It is starting to resemble a real fortress.
