'Omba' must be secured, at all costs. We shall try to cap this chamber where it currently resides with bridges, and hopefully seal the beast away for some later overseer to deal with.
 
 'Mafol Machinestills' had but one job that morning: build a simple wooden bridge.
 He scrambled up the wooden walls and carried the first wooden block into position.
 'Omba' took offense to this and showed itself by climbing right out of the chamber where it had been resting for the past few months.
 
 Fortunately for the fortress, and for 'Mafol', 'Omba' became distracted and wandered into our spiral sand trap.
 The levers were pulled and on the 28th of Moonstone, 163, 'Omba' was finally contained. Fully, completely trapped.
 
 One of the miners took our orders to 'mine everything worth of value' a little too literally and carved out all the gypsum in the layer.
 This sucked for the dwarves whose bedrooms were centered in that same gypsum deposit, and were now lacking walls..
 
 Ingish, a two year old child, son of 'Shifsabre' and the late 'Trellis', has gone moody, demanding cut gems and logs.
 We have both in ample quantities yet Ingish refuses to begin work.
 
 A series of jet cabinets were ordered, for the bedrooms.
 As well, wooden blocks were installed to roof over the walls. We didn't want a second 'Omba' situation..
 
 On 26th Granite, 164, Catten Notchchanneled, 'Lisatcatten', the Werekoala attacked.
 'tom cruise' the hapless broker was wandering through fallen tree trunks near the southwestern entrance when the beast charged from the forest.
 'tom cruise' escaped, and 'G0rd0nFreeman' arrived, steel war hammer at the ready.
 'Shifsabre' was mistakenly called up to the fight, completely naked, and bravely attacked the werekoala only to be immediately bitten in the right lung and deeply incapacitated.
 'G0rd0nFreeman' fought bravely and eventually mashed the ribs of the werekoala and thus ended the cruel attack.
 'Shifsabre' survived the fight, then bled out before they could be rescued from the surface.
 
 In mid-spring of 164, a single migrant arrived: 'Russiaaa' Lashedscar, a wax worker.
 They were drafted into the newly formed sword squad, The Daggers of Iron.
 
 Ingish, who failed their mood last season, has died of dehydration.
 
 Muthkat, the other child in the fortress, has also gone fey, and demands cut gems as well.. is there some curse affecting the young ones?
 
 On the 2nd of Felsite, 164, 'Thiliri the Profane' arrived in the first caverns, craving violence and death.
 'Thiliri' is 449 years old and a gigantic feathered pterosaur. It has a pair of squat antennae and it squirms and fidgets. Its feathers are copper and long, and it secretes noxious fluids from its pores.
 Horrible! Hopefully there are no exposes staircases or anything left by my predecessors, through which such a flying beast might find entrance.
 ...
 
 Muthkat has begun his construction, triggered by a fey mood. Thank the gods!
 Eventually he produced 'Mothersounds', a tetrahedrite bracelet.
 
 Zulbanmesir, 'Bannershower' is the name of one of our pair of war elephants.
 Zulbanmesir was given this name after killing a goblin in the previous year.
 
 On the 6th of Hematite, 164, a vile force of darkness arrived. A troupe of goblin bowman, maybe others as well.
 
 The first few goblins attacked quickly, bravely, and were utterly destroyed  by the weapon traps.
 The second group took their time before entering together. The drowning trap was activated, yet too late, adn the main mass of goblins were now approaching the heart of the fortress.
 'Kesperan II' took front and center defense and stared down the advancing foes - he was fully equipped in steel armor and wielded a steel war hammer.
 "This is a fight! I laugh in the face of death!" he exclaimed, dueling two crowssbow goblins in the wooden hallways of the surface fort.
 Many dense iron bolts land on his armor, and minor wounds are taken from these impacts, including a torn hip muscle and a cloven lip.
 
 Now, 'Kesperan II' enters a martial trance, taking on five goblins in an unfair fight.
 
 The remaining squads arrive and finish the goblins, at least those who made it past the traps. With that, the siege was broken, and the remaining attackers fled into the jungle.
 
 A wild grizzly bear managed to climb into our weapon trap hall.. what would happen now?
 
 Lubbe Kegerane, 'Grassknight' is a visiting human swordsman.
 Not many people know this, but after experiencing trauma in 157, Lubbe has been in a constant state of internal rage.
 
 Sigun Spunearths is a visiting bard. She carries a wonderful instrument: a cedar thana, constructed with brush titan silk strings.
 
 The wild kea that were captured and trained by my predecessors, and also gave birth to a new generation of completely tame kea, well, those tame kea have grown up and now fly about the fortress.
 This is... alright. They are rather beautiful animals as long as they aren't theiving your wheelbarrows.
 
 On the 18th of Malachite, Med Ofonohus 'Splashedsubmerges'
 arrived in the first cavern.
 Med was composed of amber and posessed a knobby shell and slung webs.. horrible! Just horrible!
 
 The other extant denizen of the first layer was a certain Thol Stelidnunur, 'Washedcrevice'
 a towering feathered turtle with wings and also it drooled a lot (for a turtle). It had moss green feathers and noxious secretions.
 
 Yet Thol was in poor shape, having fought the previous collection of forgotten beasts, including that pterodactyl from the previous season. Thol was torn to shreds, practically.
 
 Thol and Med fought in a small pit in the middle of the cavern layer. Each bit and kicked, with Med losing hands and limbs in the process.
 Yet, the amber beast lived onward as Thol bled to death, succumbing to the awful wounds of this fight.
 Med was now missing its left hand and both legs.
 
 New clothing was ordered for the crew: 50 units of each variety in cloth, and a series of specialty leather items including hoods, shoes, backpacks, and the like.
 
 Two new spaces of worship were created, a temple to Aned the Heliotrope Grove, god of trees and rain, and a temple to Zas Inkedrocks, god of jewels.
 
 In early autumn of 164, the dwarven caravan arrived.
 We traded stray bolts and arrows, and slightly worn clothing, for a bunch of rare metals and leather and silk cloth.
 
 The elephants have given birth to eight calves. May the future generation of war elephants prosper!
 
 One popular dish from Earthenjungles is 'Goose egg in Elephant Tallow'.
 
 'mrSergeant' the manager developed a strange mood in late autumn, claiming a clothiers shop.
 Eventually, he produced 'Clobbercrows' a silk rope of the highest quality.
 
 On the 6th of Moonstone, 164, a vile force of darkness arrived seeking a parley. Whatever that is, we ignored it completely and prepared for a fight.
 one major issue what that we had been replacing the western doors with sturdier iron ones, yet they were not in place yet... this was going to make things interesting.
 
 'Kesperan II' was completely unarmed when he was attacked by the goblins.. cut down far too quickly.
 
 'Neblime' the heroic hammerdwarf rushed to protect the open doorway, entering a martial trance.
 'Neblime' fights goblin after goblin, crushing skulls and spines, then takes an arrow to the spleen in the middle of a dozen enemy fighters.
 'Neblime' falls quickly after that blow... another hammer lord has died this day.
 Reinforcements arrive. 'Maloy II' the Commander,
 'Russiaaa' the Sword Captain, and 'Brungle' the swordfighter novice.
 In the east, 'Otto_K II' and 'Tom Cruise' assemble.
 
 The fight begins, quickly descending into chaos, and most of the dwarves enter martial trances.
 Goblin limbs fly as the hammers and swords land blows.
 Many of the dwarves take superficial cuts and bruises yet keep fighting.
 The dwarves push the goblins back to the entrance, then out into the open air beyond the walls, in a truly heroic effort.
 'Brungle' dies from blood loss at some point during the fighting, as well as Kathroc the goblin mercenary who fought alongside us.
 
 The six war wounded survivors are taken to the new hospital and triage is performed. The worst injury is that of 'thegraywolf' who lost his lower right leg in the fighting, when a goblin swordsman slashed it clean off with an iron scimitar.
 
 A water-based trash compactor was developed and built over winter and early spring. It is moderately effective and could use improvement... and so so much faster than manually hauling everything to the refuse stockpiles.
