Spring has just came to an end. Not much happened so far. Only a minor disturbance when a goblin with a big bag came. It didn't look it's packed with presents, so I send bunch of axedwarfs after him.

I had a nice corpse pit built for him.

I couldn't decide what we need the most. I decided to go with two projects for the moment. We seem to have a goblin neighbours, so a wall will surely come in handy. And some housing for us wouldn't hurt either. I decided to start on the northern border. It is nice flat area. Apart from a hill and a bunch of trees. Nothing our woodcutters and miners cannot handle, I'm sure.

Migrants have arrived:
Zuglar Uzolkokeb, great beekeeper
Obok Stibmerfikod, great bone carver
Rovod Sefoltekkud, great fishery worker dabbling stonecrafter
Tosid Oslanalath, great clothier
Zefon Siknugkadol, great miner
Fatch Bothonlogem, novice farmer
Kogan Athelnosing, great animal trainer
Kaemurl, mercenary, competent macedwarf
Solon Regnazom, great presser
Oddom Zasitidek, great stonecrafter
Bomrek Tunomkivish, great bookbinder
Atis Kedzaneg, great woodcrafter

I can use them. It is going to get busy around here.

Dwarfs have taken the task with enthusiasm.

With the hill and trees gone, we can start building hour new homes. We'll need materials and lots of them. From now on, there are only 5 jobs allowed in this fortress. Each and every dwarf will be one of: miner, carpenter, mason, hauler, construction worker. No exceptions. When we run out of wood, I'll add a woodcutter to the mix. There are lots of work to be done and time is short. So I want to see a flawless workflow of raw wood and granite hauled to the workshops, there lots of blocks cut and then taken to the construction. Come on, we can do it!

Season change caught us hard at work. It is now summer and we're building like there's no tomorrow.

Might join later, for now if you could dorf me as “Kaemurl”. Maybe a miner/stoneworker/military dwarf but I don’t really mind.

I can offer you a miner, mason or a macedwarf sheriff and hamerer. I have kept miners and stoneworkers separate, so they both can work at the same time. Take your pick.

Put me on the turn list. I will regret this.
Also, Dorf me. Imic, a male acrchitect or mason or carpenter. Preferably all three.

I have also masons separate from carpenters, for the same reason. Out of the two, which would you prefer? We have a legendary carpenter. It's a female though. Now that I think about it, the other carpenter is also female, so a mason it is, I guess.

I forgot to mention, If i get dorfed, I wanna be a male artist of some sort, maybe an engraver, named "Billy"

I can offer you a miner/engraver, or a craftsdwarf. Also a metalcrafter. Which one would you prefer?

We shall mod you to like cats for their aloofness and cat leather. That will cause you be adopted by them and mandate things made from them. Oh the dilemma, yeah. Is it bigger sanity hit to leave a mandate unfulfilled or to lose a pet?

Nope, I learned about that unacceptable plan of yours and gelded them all.

Don't worry, I'll catch another colony for you to count.

Now you've done it. This will not stand, I want outer bridges raised, so the panda doesn't run away and inner bridge open, so we can get out and kill it. Imic put his heart into counting those bees, we'll have some panda roast as revenge! Damn, is there a lever which is linked to the outer bridges? I don't know, just pull some damn levers already, we'll see what happens.

Damn, it has ran away. Bloody bee killing panda is now in river, tearing spongemen apart. I must say, it did a number on them, I think I saw a spongeman left leg sponge flying. But the thing is out of reach now, we cannot jam its skull through its brain in the river. Let's hope it comes back later, so we can have our revenge. Wait, it is turning... into a human. And poor sod cannot swim, haha. Good riddance!

One of the spongemen has been bitten in the leg. The leg got severed few moments later. Is it possible we'll have to deal with another bee genocide as another werepanda comes, this time out of the river? At least it will transform into a sponge and airdrown, if it is impudent enough to leave the water.

Current bee count: 0

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celts:

The Romans knew the Celts then living in what became present-day France as Gauls.
