Well, we built that well.

I guess I won't have an easy way out anymore.

But I think it was probably a good idea to give it up... For the greater good.

Surprisingly, or maybe not, everyone except me has found a lot of spare time lately, and have used it to move silver nuggets into Skuld's room. The reason eludes me. Cabin fever, perhaps?

In other news, Mr. Rulushast, our outpost liaison, refuses to leave me alone. He follows me incessantly, no matter how many times I've asked him to go home with our requests. I think he's scared to leave without a caravan. He won't answer my questions about the General either. Perhaps it's because I have been trying to avoid referring to my mission?

Well, the merchants assured me that they were "ecstatic with the trading," so hopefully next year they'll bring more booze. In the meantime, I ordered Nil to start brewing. He's no good, but it's better than a slow death by alcohol deprivation.

We'll run out of plants to brew in no time, though, so I've started an underground farm.

Well, planned one anyway. The miners are still working on the theatre.
And a butcher's shop, for meat, and a tanner's shop, so that Led's talents don't go to waste.

Skuld told me a rumor, about caverns underground with plants, and trees. Animals. I don't put much stock in it, but I'll be careful when digging deep in any case. Johann, on the other hand, ate it up.

In other news, we found a strange sort of stone recently...I'm not sure what to make of it.

Hm, I'm not sure Ziril is crazy enough to do that... Maybe one of the characters is, though.

I don't have invaders turned off, the wildlife is just... gone. Like the trees. Which is weird, 'cause I have animals in the other files of this world. I honestly have no idea if I did something to mess it up, but it's kinda funny. Also, I brought plenty of dogs with us with the remaining points, but I'll buy this one for meat. 

But... There are no trees...

Well, okay!

I'm spending more and more time outside lately. Mekboy tells me it's unhealthy, getting so much sun, but I keep hoping to see some sign of life in this... place. I told the miners to dig a level deeper. They haven't found anything down there either. I keep asking myself why the General sent me out here. I don't even believe in it. In a place like this, even my faith in Tobul is waning. But I have a duty, and I must stick it out to the end.


Tobul be praised, it's a caravan!

Let us take this time to appreciate some works of art that we will never be seeing again.

Ah, our great (former) queen!

She lived, loved, and then got eaten by a hydra.

Blah blah blah more historical figures...
Some vermin...

Wait... Skuld, what's this figure of a human doing here?!
Why are there two of them?!

Another human? Really?


An elf?! Skuld, just what is going through your mind when you make these... things?
Wait a minute... All of them journeying to the Grim Horns... Does Skuld know what we're doing here? She can't just know this off the top of her head, she would have had to research it. I know I didn't bring a history book.

Was she sent by the General too? Was it for the same reason, or does she have her own mission?

Ah, there's no time to worry about this, the caravan's coming!

Things have been going smoothly lately, but I'm sure this is only a temporary state.

My quarters have been dug out, along with workshop space for myself and Mekboy (As soon as he pops the question... I'm sure he will, right?)

I've also designed a theatre and living space for Magia, but I haven't told her yet. I'm not sure if it's because I want to be nice and surprise her, or if I'm still resenting her for bringing all those little gems. They were such a pain to carry in!

1 is the storage area for the finished goods; theatre props, costumes, makeup, ect.
2 is the stage. I'm going to dig out the area in front of it and fill it with water.
3 is the seating area. There's two more levels of this, I'll show you when it's finished.
4 is backstage; dressing rooms, actor's lounge, ect.
5 are the workshops and sleeping areas for the costume designers.
6 is Magia's house, complete with spaces for various workshops.

Because she'll be concerned with the entertainment industry soon, I've chosen Moldath to be our replacement miner. Strike the earth.
