13th Moonstone

They dare come!? The goblins have returned of all things. Haven't they learned that there
last siege failed? No matter I must have the military assemble.

I am watching the siege from a safe distance, taking in numbers. It seems the Goblins are
lead by an axe lord. But they only brought one bowman. We shall have our advangate with the
fortified gate front.

Then I notice another squad of golbins coming in. In horrow i noticed not only was it lead
by a spearlord, it had a at least 6 ranged goblins.

   

The first to reach our gates is the axelord. He crosses the bridge that seperates us and the
ice... only to fall victim to one of our cage traps. Quickly the rest of the goblins rush
foward. The firsts one becoming victims to the cage and stone fall traps. The weapon traps
killed even more. The ranged goblins wasted there ammunition on animals that strayed in the
front. Even two war dogs held them at bay.

They are now in full retreat. Both of there leaders have been captured. Most of there raiding
members have been killed. And all there ammunition is gone while our three sqauds of
marksdwarves were full with iron bolts.

   

16th Moonstone

Ha. It seems the kobolds thought they could use the confusion of the siege to sneak a few things
out of our vaults. Not likely.

1st Opal

It seems this place is an inspiration for metalsmiths. Another metalsmith has been inspired. The
third dwarf during my term.

30th Obsidian

The winter has been strangley quite. Though i will say that im am surprisingly relieved that my term is over, my only regret is that my tomb will now forever lie in near finish.

-------------------------

I am deeply sorry about that long delay but here it is finally. My only wish for future rulers is PLEASE donn't remove the cages or their contents from my tomb. Or ruin my tomb for that matter.

I would have a picture of the whole fortress to but I am having trouble figuring out how to upload to the dh map archive and imageshack is taking forever that i cant wait for it.

Yea i wanted to put cage traps so I have cages being produced repeatedly. From bronze to as you see. I put barrels and bins since having too many of those is alwats better then not enough. Just to say my last and main focus for winter.

My tomb

Also next update should be by friday night.

You know right now i wish i made some plate armor right now. The mayor keeps blaming the legendary metalsmith that no large gems are being made. Metalsmiths dont make gems. And i cant even make large gems. if my character wasnt it little wierd in the head I would kill that mayor. Legendary weaponsmith being beaten for not making any large gems.

Oh and just to say Tarr you will have a surprise coming up.  

First even with the stockpiles theres still tons of stone loose. Second i cant get hammered as the requirement is not to DROWN any noble or immigrants, mentions nothing of killing. The only one to drown was someone who would have died eventually, I just sped up the process. The starving I think came from the dwarves suddenly wanted to go on breaks and haul stuff from the siege. Also only one farm plot was set to plump helmet. But even then the farmers had only planted 6 seeds in those 3 plots for about a month. And its a good thing they gotta walk twice. I want no fat dwarf
 

4th Hematite

Another... Another has fallen into secrecy to full fill his Dreams... Tsk Tsk Tsk... If this one falls insane as the other one did, we will be having another accident.

He claims the crafts workshop. Probably going to make something worthless.

9th Hematite

...It seems he found all he needed. Surprisingly we have all what he needed.
Obsidian, Rose Qaurtz, Adventurines, cut green glass gems, hematite, fish bones of all things... even the leather is pathetic coming from small animals of no worth.

11th Hematite

*sigh* more proof that our Mayor isnt too bright. Violation of Production order. Injured Party: Mayor. Victim: Ezum the Axedwarf. If she wasnt always surronded by others I would have dealt with her personally.

13th Hematite

He has finished. An obsidian amulet was created. Something worthless was created... as always

ah well, the others will praise him.

17th Hematite

The humans have arrived. Tall they may be like elves. At least they are not treehuggers. They have come with their Merchant Baron. He seeks an audience with the trade minister.

THIEVES. Thieves dare try to steal what belongs to this fortress? They will be dealt with harshly.

18th Hematite

AT LAST! My time for retribution has arrived. I will now go and end this. She will not know what will be coming.

Slowly short_dwarf creeps out of his room. He peers into hall. Seeing no one he sneaks across into the room next door. Slowly opening and closing the door as to make no noise. The room was a dining room. Sofly he walks into a study finding the door wide open. He stands there until he finds what he was looking for. The bedroom door. Smiling he reflects on how he told the dwarf who placed the door to put it in backwards. He quickly bolts the door shut making a loud click noise. Iden wakes with a start.
"Wha..?" Iden starts. A low chuckling is heard from outside her door. "Whos there?" she demands. She runs up to the door to find it locked. She searches for the lock on the door only to find that then door has been reversed. "But how?..." Slowly she recognizes the sound of the chuckling.
"I have won dear Iden," short_dwarf says, "I have won and and I have ended this." short_dwarf turns around and walks away laughing. A laughter with a touch of insanity.
"NO!" Iden screams from behind the door, "NO! Let me out!" Tears slowly begin to drip down from her eyes. Her voice starts to quiver more and more as she continued to scream. Until she finally falls silent in wait of her death.

My retribution has started. A month to pass and I will have ended it. I will find a way to dispose of her body after she is found dead. Only then will I finally be content.

25th Hematite

Food has been falling rapidly. The current order of how things are run regarding food is not efficient enough to sustain a fortress of this size. I immdeatly set a new set of orders that should be effiecent to sustain this fortress. Farmers were to focus purely on their certain job. I enlisted others who are not needed in there current profession to farming where we need more. I noticed a long string of animals that were tagged as to be bucthered. It seems whoever did that isnt exactly right in the head as there were no butcher shops to butcher the animals. I had an area dug out specifically so that the stenc doesnt bother others, the I could care less. I had dwarves concentrate their focus also on brewing and cooking and fishing so that we could increase our food stocks even faster. The food and drinks from the Humans may barely be passed as edible, but it was better then vermin. Even with the new food orders four have still died of starvation.

7th Galena

short_dwarf was on his way to inspect the forge and smelters. But really all he ws interested in was on how his tomb was doing. It was as he was passing the bridge over the chaasm that he noticed something different about the place. There was a smell. Something similar to blood but with something else. slowly short_dwarf recognizes that something as bat blood.
"Bat blood?" short_dwarf said in confusion. He turns around and notices a lumb on the ground off to his left. Moving closer he takes a look at the lump on the ground. His face grew pale. The lump and the ground had had giant wings similar to a bat, two clawed short feet, and a blowgun of some sort. "GAURDS!" short_Dwarf hollors, "GAURDS! SET A PERIMETER AROUND THE CHASM!"

As I write now the gaurds and military are rushing towards the chasm. I have found a dead body of a batman. The weapon traps probably only stopped the surprise but they will come never the less.

20th Galena

I had wondered what that lever in the middle of the hall does. I ordered that for someone to flip that switch, but I found no effects. Sighing I had some flip the switch again. This time though... I found what it does.

22nd Galena

I had to tell the gaurds and military to stand down. They have argued that there is nothing coming from the chasm. They believe that one creature as an exile. But I know better. He was a scout.

23rd Galena

At last she has died. Alone, slowly, and painfully. None had gone to her aid. For now I am content.
For now...
