9th Hematite
Our plans for the yak slaughter were postponed when the idiot I was supposed to kill them with built a wall, on the wrong side of a room, locking himself inside. I immediately ordered Pasta to dig the dense dwarf inside out. I refused to continue to kill yaks because of this incident, as well as when we realized that we had no weapons, and the only available ore at the time was silver. So that’s a no go. As well as this, since there is no undead lurking, I sent forth Kroz Gulnaszefon to decapitate trees.
15th Hematite
That cat, it is covered in scars and has one broken leg.
My mouth waters just from looking at it.
23rd Hematite
It was love at first sight. The black and white spots, the adorable charm, I learned from a book somewhere that these are called “Panda Bears.” I dreamt last night about their majesty. I knew, I knew I had to have one.
I knew I had to taste it. I’d imagine that the areas with different color patches are flavored differently. Oh the exciting new flavors! I cannot wait to try one!
-This text appears to be from later that day-
I was recently informed that we have no butchery for animals we slaughter, I looked Kroz right in the eye as he said this to me. I put a hand on his shoulder, and told him: “We need to fix this, now.” And so The digging began for the butchery and cookery. Finally I’ll be able to eat that cat. Oh finally… Oh, the pandas too.
1st Malachite
The kitchen and brewery are finished being dug out! Now for the butchery, then delicious delicious panda…
Oh, and The kingdom sent some more migrants to die and all that. A bowyer, a craftsdwarf, and an Armorer. None of which I even bothered to try to learn their last names once they told me once. I couldn’t even pronounce it once I heard it…
One of them however, knows how to use an axe and a sword though, competent even with the axes, she may be very well a murderer of things that are already dead. Not like that does much, but it does something. In fact, this bowyer has almost no skill in their actual job whatsoever.
The Armorer is a proficient siege operator, again, being better at another job than his own. His wife though, is essentially useless. I hope that in years to come she will pop out canon fodder after canon fodder for when the goblins find us.
I’ve also decided to make a tower for our to be siege operator, because I can do that.
9th Malachite
I have declared that we dig. “How deep?” They asked me. “There’s a limit?” I replied.
We will find that metal. The forges are already almost prepared.
12th Malachite
And then I found a cavern.
13th Malachite
Ahah, Ahahah, Hah, Giant Olms. The best part? It’s face was melted off. Just be smart, smooth over the stairs leading there, then dig around the cavern. Skeletons for some reason are harder to kill than regular stuff, or so I’ve been told.
18th Malachite
I dug deeper, the others did not follow. They decided to take out the stairway. While I was still down there, But I’m not scared. I’m digging my way up. But first, I must dig my way down. Oh, and I found some tetrahedrite too.
-written slightly later-
Another cavern! This one is entirely flooded with water, making it ideal for whatever the hell that’s for. Oh, there’s some magma too, but I’m hungry so I’ll wall that off later in a heroic fight against whatever wants to kill me down there.
Correction, the clawless pond grabber that lives down there. The zombified thing lost all of the claws on its right side. So essentially it’s only half a threat now.
What occurred on 20th Malachite
“What!? one of the pandas has left!?”
“Yes sir, we don’t know why.” Replied Kroz
“Wait, this must mean only one thing.”
“What sir?”
“The marmots have returned! To arms!”
I brought along Winterdirge as a meatshield, before he choked on his own spit.
Holy Armok he is fast! He rushed right into the marmot, punched it twice in the guts and it died! I didn’t even get there. Both with his left hand, I have yet to know whether that is his dominant hand or not, but either way he’ll do great with a hammer once we make one.
Those are just fist extensions right? At least that’s my knowledge of them.
25th Malachite
Wolves, ok, that’s a problem, we don’t like wolves. We don’t have a military. One reasonable solution, make a military! Also get everyone inside.
11th Galena
I’ve learned that although copper sucks, it still works as weaponry. Weaponry = dead stuff. Dead stuff = exotic foods. Exotic foods = me happy.
12th Galena
The panda left! What a tragedy!
But… It’s almost time for wolf steaks for everyone. I wonder what wolves taste like…
22nd Galena
The wolves left. Next time, whatever edible enters this land. They shall not leav- fox! Kill it! kill it and eat it!
25th Galena
The blood of the fox was everywhere. Oh what fun! Nothing can make this day even better!
-shortly after, this was added-
Panda! Kill it! Kill it dead!
30th Galena
Success! My stomach hurts from being clawed. I’ma take a nap now.
Took me a while to get done, I had some stuff going on. But that's done and this was posted.
