Urists,

It has come to our attention that the recent werelizard infestation has caught multiple people who were put into hospitals. As per quarantine procedures, the hospitals were meant to be boarded up. It would seem we’ve contained the situation until I get bored or begin work on the werelizard war beast project.
Now if you would kindly stop sealing yourselves into the infected hospitals, that would be nice. Half of the victims are almost legendary dorfs, you should know better!

EDIT: We're opening up the quarantine zones now, since one of the werechameleons has become a ghost and is harassing the nearby dwarves in the dining room. If everyone could please swiftly move the bodies to the coffins before the mias- oh, well I see the resulting miasma has driven two dwarves insane. I'm afraid the rest of you will have to deal with your babbling kin a bit longer.

EDIT EDIT: It would seem someone left a werelizard unchecked. Not sure how this one got away, but we've not got nine dwarves bitten. Crowd control's going to be nightmare from here on out. Have fun!

Skinrags is currently under attack by a werechameleon. It is also apparently a poet too.
I have no idea whether to escort it to the library or slaughter it on sight.

On a side note, anyone know how to put screenshots in posts? Was going to do that, but didn't exactly now how.

EDIT: Okay, so maybe killing the poet while I still had a military would have been a better idea. At least the population is slightly down anyway. Nobody in this fort knows anything about medical procedure so I've decided to give the responsibility to the fish dissector. Hey, she knows about fish guts, so those have got to be similar to dwarf guts, right?

EDIT: EDIT: Nevermind. Five near-dead dwarves are bleeding out on the floor at the corner of the hospital.

I think I may have embarked smack-dab in unfamiliar territory. Seriously, nothing has arrived yet.

Also trying to build a 6 story rhyolite tower. This will serve as a noble's quarters/ diversion for invading forces. Unfortunately, building a staircase is a bit awkward, and it involves a large wooden staircase outside. If time permits, will work on a minecart elevator system.

First time embarking on a Cold biome. Hoping the chill doesn't kill my dwarves in a few seconds. The flat landscape is rather nice though, and currently going through the routine aquifer struggles.

Plotting how to replace all the doors with floodgates, without having to manually command dwarves to pull the levers.

The garbage train just left my fort.

Garbage train? Okay, I'm curious. How does it work?

Urist McEngraver,

While I am glad you've decided to create a shameful image of a noble in your masterwork to grace the dining hall, did you really have to shame the one of the few GOOD nobles? The only thing the mayor asked for were RINGS and not fething weapons or some crap that would be useful elsewhere. If you want to create an engraving in which a noble would be royally embarrassed (pardon the pun), might I suggest the Captain of the guard, who was whining for months about not getting a good enough bedroom.

Overseer

Another possessed craftsdwarf. He wants cloth, we don't have any. Ah well, time for military probation for when he inevitably snaps and goes berserk.
Then again, having a dwarf asylum sounds like fun. Berserk dwarves don't kill themselves, right?
