+1 for Likot.

Btw, Lizard, do we really need more players? I'd remove the "players are welcome" part of the title.

So, who's next? Lizard, would you go for another intermission with your disappearance in final?

I shall sunder the vaults of heaven and split the flesh of the earth. All shall quake at what I bring and the ground shall tear in my wake.

Man, I told ye not to smoke my blade weed! It's a special sort of the greatest stuff that blows your head off instantly. It's too strong for newbies like you. It's too strong even for me!

If it won't long for a couple of years, of course.

RoughRogue's journal had me cracking up.

The smoke that makes you laugh... is it what I think?

StoMns 7. It was a great deal! We got rid of all these rags and bought lots of useful goods instead. Actually, Grim managed to buy almost all the stuff the caravan had and even offer something to the king. Mwhahah, the crowned asshole will get a heart attack when he'll see our offerings. Tons of smelly tattered socks! You should have seen the look on the traders' faces... but they took it. I think they don't like the king very much either. Or was it because of Grim's bad habit to twirl his armed crossbow  on the index finger?
Mns 10. We have too much animals. They breed uncontrollably and eat too much to feed each of them. All these puppies, piglets, lambs and leverets are certainly cute, but too much cutiness is turning into one disgusting fluffy wave. I ordered to slaughter most of them, leaving only a pair of each species for further breeding. Maybe we should expand the pastures to get enough food for them, but reducing the number of hungry mouths looks better to me.
But shit... I can't look at this.

Mns 20.

Farewell, guys. I'll wait for your cheese next year.
Now Chamberdrums is fully recovered of the tantrum spiral and is inhabited by 141 beard (including 53 beardless brats). Everybeard is fine, except the dumbass clothier who couldn't move his ass to collect ingredients for the artifact. We have new clothes, new food and new booze, and good old weed. What else do we need? He he he... A king to kill, of course!
Mns 27. The merchants aren't going to leave!

What the heck? They have our garba... I mean, our offering to deliver to Mountainhome. What do they think? Maybe they liked Chamberdrums too much?
Ah, right. The liaison is too slow for our Monitor. She is always on her feet and he just can't catch up with her to get her signature on his tablets.
Opl 6.

At last. Monitor looked relieved when this guy finally gave the nod to the caravan. See you next year, trashmasters!
After the liaison left, Monitor turned to us and said: "Let me introduce myself". At first I thought that she's gone crazy, but then she continued: "Kubuk 'Monitor Lizard' Alathkokeb, The Mighty Tooth of Cudgels... the countess of Chamberdrums!"
For a minute we remained silent and slack-jawed. Then the whole hall burst into applause and congratulations. She just stood and enjoyed it, looking incredibly happy.

Holy carp... now I have a countess under my command! Man, this is great... When else could I get such opportunity?!
Opl 24. Oh, another forgotten beast. I get another one every season. Is it a seasonal beast migration? Looks like a game of "collect them all".

It must be our mayor's daddy. We could make the family reunite, but that slicky bastard will run away from his cell at once. It's better not to take a risk.
Obs 2. One of the animal trainers went mad and claimed a craftsdwarf's workshop on the upper level. Somebeard told me that he is possessed by an ancient craftsdwarf's spirit and is going to make an artifact. I hope that craftsdwarves of ancient times didn't call trinkets as artifacts.

Stones, stones, stones, bones, cloth, gems, logs and... adamantine?! Holy carp, this artifact must be most precious in the whole goddamn universe! But if it will be another wooden scepter with a pair of adamantine spikes on it, I'll kill the guy. We don't have so much adamantine to waste it like this.
Obs 11. A-ha, greenskins are here again. Are they so stupid that they can't understand that it's useless to attack Chamberdrums? Or is it their way to deal with goblinsplosion?
Anyway... Slay 'em, guys! And I have... more important overseeing stuff... yaaawn... to do.



What? Oh, I see.
I told you that I'll kill you, sucker?!! You better run, so I could hit your back!
Obs 16.The siege was broken, but we've lost two beards. Grimmash got his right index finger infected, Maskwolf got both her legs cut open, and there's also infection in the wound. Nuckles's head wound was infected too. Our chief medic is a lazy bum. Won't she do anything about it?
And another good news: the merchants moved out at last. They sat in the depot for more than a month, and now they're gone, leaving behind some goods that were not stored yet.
Obs 28. I've done all that I wanted to do. So now I can just wait until the year ends.
To future overseers: don't search for me in my former quarters on level -3.

Look deeper, on -139. Keep out of the weed stockpile!

Or even deeper, in the new crystal moss lab. Nuckles and me are often to be found there.

Also, I expanded the graveyard in case of another tantrum spiral. Now it can accomodate several fortresses like ours and at least three nobles including the king along with the queen (a round burial chamber in the bottom). Baroness Countess Monitor Lizard's tomb was restyled, as well as her quarters near our barracks. Hope she liked it.


So, it's already first morning of year 139. I'm gonna give this book to the new overseer. I still don't know who will be it. Like a game of "guess who". Hm... Right. First one who enters my room will get the overseer's chair.
Oh, somebeard's already knocking at the door!
"Come in whoever you are! I have a gift for you."

OOC: I forgot to screenshot the fortress status. Not a lethal fault, is it?
