From the even more private and secret journal of Arcvasti
20th timber: The fortess seems... wrong somehow. WE devote Our attention to the demons below, but they are not causing the trouble
30th timber: Its getting hard to concentrate on anything.
I am told that WE are getting pale and pallid
10th moonstone: The ringing is getting worse.
I have taken to speaking at all times to drown it out. BUT IT DOESN'T WORK. It just keeps getting louder and louder.
From the minutes of the secret rebel meeting:
PeaSant: We can't let this go on any longer. We're losing good dwarves to this "Arcvasti"'s madness. First beloved McMeph gone and now Olin hasn't been seen in weeks. This is the time for action, not sitting in abandoned rooms and chatting!
Talanic: We can't move on him yet, he has the loyalty of the animated weapons, they'd tear us to shred even through our adamantine.
Urist: PeaSant is right. We can't just let this lie, Arcvasti is insane. I've heard him talking or muttering to himself. Why just the last day he had a shouting match with himself and gouged out his eardrums.
Kamikazi: Talking to himself, self-mutilation. Delay the plan another month, I've got something I think will help.
Scrawled in blood on Arcvasti's walls:
IT WON'T STOP. LISTEN TO ME, MAKE IT STOP
NO, YOU ARE NOTHING, WE ARE HERE NOWMAKE IT STOP. MAKE THE NOISE STOP I CAN STILL HERE IT, LIKE A WATCH COVERED IN COTTEN
YOU ARE NOTHING. WE ARE THE TRUTH. YOU DO NOT EXISTArcvasti ran out of his office, blood streaming from his mutilated face and hands. "Urist!" he cried "You don't need to try to hide it anymore. You didn't think
WE already knew? Dissemble no more,
WE know where he is. Dig up the soil in the abandoned pasture. Olin lies there, murdered by my own hand. I ADMIT THE DEED FREELY, JUST MAKE HIS HEART STOP"
He started trying to gouge his eyes out, before Kamikazi grabbed him. He dragged the shrieking and bloodied Arcvasti to the surface. To the animal enclosure. To one specific cage. The Ward of Armok stared deep with into Arcvastis unseeing eyes.
LEAVE, FOUL DEMON, RETURN TO THY NEST BELOW. TROUBLE NOT THIS SERVANT OF ARMOKArcvasti woke up in his bed in his office. His injuries as well as his soul had been healed. The people of Cathedral had forgiven his actions while posessed, but they would no longer accept him as leader. The minister of immigration smiled at his new freedom and walked to the townportal to summon a sucesser more worthy then he.

Minecart grinder. In case you don't know, a minecart grinder is when you have two rollers with a heavy, usually spiked or bladed in masterwork, minecart that quickly moves between the rollers at high speeds very fast with a bunch of alacrity. Generally, if enemies walk into the minecart, death hapens to them. This minecart grinder just needs the minecart to be made(The order has already been given to make it, just waiting on danmanthedog to do the task). The gear assemblys still need to be attached to a lever so you can
shut off the death machine. Thats why the windmills above the gear assemblys haven't been started yet. You should also put a wall behind the roller. You position the minecart on the tracks with the (h)auling menu. If you're new to minecarts, check out this link right here for a rundown on placing them on tracks:
http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Minecart#Route In the end the grinder should look something like this:
EGWWWWGE
W>---M--<W
G = Gear Assembly - = Track < & > = Rollers E = Exit or entrance W = Wall M = Minecart
And thats the end of my turn. I might sign up for another round later when I have more time to spend on DF. Sorry for taking twice as long as the rules say, I was not aware of the 1 week per turn rule.
Also maybe build a minecart grinder. Masterwork has all those lovely spiked minecarts which go unused so often. They need some love. And I've never seen one in action, but they're supposed to be awesome for relatively few materials.
