Renewal

It's the 6th. That helmet snake looks scary, so instead of dragging the goats back to their pasture I'll take a nap here, well within 40 feet of it...
Okay, that was a bad idea. Is bit me in the throat, which while I broke its grip is rather painful. It keeps biting me, but I haven't been hit with venom yet...I think. I dodge away from the attack and oh God this is turning into something from What Would Urist Do?

He dodged into the magma pipe...Oh, my...

Who wants a dwarf in the reclaim party?

Only one troglodyte is left--Wqualchains. He's killed a goat, a turkey hen, and is working on a horse. Probably doesn't have much time left, poor beast.
Pretty much the first thing I do is start work on the food stockpile. Not the big one Tin had, of course, a smaller, more practical one nearer to the farm I set up. Digging through solid phyllite is exhausting, but it's as good a way to start as any, and as of halfway through the month I feel skilled enough to term myself a novice.
The troglodyte wanders off, and a helmet snake wanders in. I wonder if the elves will care about us unleashing a bunch of deadly apes into their precious wilderness. It's close to the end of the month before I take a break to get a bite to eat and some much-needed ale to drink, and by then the stockpile's mostly finished.

Summer's dawning sees me planting the first plump helmets of the fortress.

Necromancer adventurers will spontaneously raise the dead, who will be friendly to them and eat the other dwarves. Sadly they suffer from no booze slowness.

Wrong; they only raise the dead when they want to.

Update: Pottery now uses a "CLAY_MAT," allowing me to use FIRED_MAT as nothing but a way to designate, "This soiley stuff can be gathered." Peat can also be gathered; I intend to make it useable as wax.

It was Urist's; death, of course.

Nothing, he hasn't been given orders and dwarves won't grow crops to save themselves without orders.

What would Urist do if ordered to explore the colossal cave?
