And if anyone is still reading after that last blasphemous update, the story continues....

Spring 239
After placing Argonnek's admantine floor grate into the Royal Palace, fortress wealth has increased to well over 13 million dwarf bucks. I made the floor grate linked to a lever that revealed a secret path from the palace down to the river garden below. Its not really needed, as there are stairs not far away...haha, but hey. Secret passages hooked to levers are cool, alright!?
The tax collector that was crucified last Christmas came along with an Armok worshipping Hammerer believe it or not. His name was Huesoo....a strange name for a dwarf. His parents must have been really interesting.

The first thing Huesoo noticed upon his arrival was the scattered piles of bolts all around the fortress. It was literally a sea of spent ammunition, both goblin and dwarf. And near the choke points lay the piles of iron goblin armor. Also of note was that the top layer of soil was entirely made of ash from so many raging infernos.
It was a gruesome place.
Another dwarf has taken up the dwarven habit of renaming himself. Ever since he carved a simple artifact bone idol, he has demanded that he be called Nonobots!

He is our resident strand extractor, and has spent the majority of his life at Blockedlance deep in the earth, extracting adamantine in a cluttered workshop.
In summer, the humans came. These caravans are picking up some interesting items on their travels around the nearby lands.

Demon bone idols and carp bone amulets. They'll go good with my goblin bone crown.
