Thane's Journal, Autumn 653.
Limestone
18th
Art tells me they've found cassiterite in the mines. Tin won't be all that useful on its own, but maybe we can find some copper and clad our warriors in bronze.
24th
Apparently there's bismuthinite on the same level. I really hope there's some copper here.
Sandstone
5th
We have some new kittens and puppies. Maybe we can create an army of war dogs to fight the bloodkin?
28th
Another group of migrants has arrived, bringing our numbers up to fifteen. Among them is someone who calls himself the Fractal Entity, another by the name of Talonis Wolf and one called Thanatos, who seems very eager not to let anyone see his face. Perhaps he's a fugitive?
Timber
13th
We found a pair of kobold thieves trying to rob us, but they were sacred away by the puppies.
19th
The caravan from the mountainhome has arrived, which reminds me that we don't have a broker. Fractal seems to best with dealing with people, so I'll let him have the job for now.
28th
After a week long drinking session with Vlad, Fractal finally spoke with the traders. We got some food and drink, a fair amount of cloth and enough copper goods to make three or four bars when we melt them down.
In the meantime, I've had the liaison following me around while I'm trying to work and refusing to talk if I'm doing anything else.
