The first squad of humans is in full retreat after one of their members blundered into one of our green crossbowdwarves and was promptly filled with bolts.  Whether it was due to the loss, or to Maggarg storming out the gate to shout obscenities at them which broke their morale is unclear.

Here are some of the sights of Abbeyverse!

Gee, I see both Inky and Keldor on that list.

You know, local legend has it that if you sit still and listen long enough, you can hear the screams of agony of the previous inhabitants as they were torn apart by various monstrosities.  Of course, the more scientific dwarf would argue that the screams are not those of the dearly departed, but merely the screams of the current inhabitants of the fortress, as they instead are torn apart by undead monstrosities.

After consulting with our military commanders, it has been decided that we may as well just ignore the humans.  There's important work to be done outside on the other side of the river, and besides, the humans seem to just be out on a camping trip.  If they do decide to attack, they'll have to come in through the west gate, which no one has had any reason to go near for quite some time, and then past the Nist Akath yard, where there will no doubt be a few of the fortress and royal guard sparring.  It's about time they do something to contribute to the fortress anyway.

Jools has just instated a new mandate for... floodgates??

Maggarg has begun coordinating the construction of... something.  He says it'll be a replica of something from Copperblazes.  I wonder what it might be?

This fortress is full of odd surprises.  Today, I discovered an old craftsdwarf workshop buried in the furniture stockpile.  What's more, it appears that it has been forbidden for some time.  Quite odd.
