Peregarret came to see me today. The poor guy's been a bit of a mess lately, after the grizzly incident.
Told me the stress was getting to him. Said since I was closest to him at the time, I was in charge.
Shit.

Well, I've decided that the first thing I'm going to do as overseer is pump up the milita.
Nothing serious, we don't have the numbers for it, but I'll be instituting civilian training soon.
No plans to conscript the whole flock for one last hurrah, just a bit of martial training to help keep everyone safe.
Given the Grizzley demolished semi-professionals, I doubt it'll help to much.

I'm going to go get a drink.

The wall around our camp was finished today.
I do believe I'll be setting up fortifications on top of it.

Pogey finally got around to talking to the liaison today...
I had him order some spears. We're going to need them for our militia.
I would have ordered crossbows as well, but I've decided to leave that to local industry. We could make a pretty Urist exporting them as well...
Food for thought.

Seems I was right not to import crossbows. Zefon, the broker, is in fact a legendary bowyer.
She is also carrying the best axe in the camp. I've been staring daggers her way since I found out.

Apparently, a red panda boar has been scaring the workers away from the fortification site. I would have dealt with it sooner if I hadn't been sleeping off one hell of a bender.
My chest hurts, I think someone punched me while I was drunk. No matter, the boar is dead. Only took two swings.

Zefon came bitching to me about having lost a masterwork. I asked her what it was, she was too hysterical to answer. A shame, no matter how much I dislike her, But I can't do anything about it until she tells me what it was and who did it.
In other news, migrants have arrived. Fourteen healthy, adult dwarves. Some of them are seeming rather upset.
I think we'll need a psychiatrist on site or something.
But this is perfect for the militia. I'll start training once we have the materials for a barracks.

I met with the two depressed dwarves, and asked them about their problems. One, Kulet Mozibastesh, said he lost his pet recently. He is a glassmaker of quite high skill, however, so I suspect that being unable to practice his profession effectively at Farmepracticed contributed to his mood.
The other, Avuz Vukcasingish, mentioned that a friend of his died just before he reached us. I believe that story one hundred percent, the poor guy.

The sudden increase in population has put strain on the tavern's bedding ability. I've redirected materials and manpower from the fortifications to the construction of a few small huts.
Hopefully, they'll be a temporary housing unit for migrants, until we can get proper housing in place.
Hopefully.

OOC, well that was fun. Hopefully I didn't overdo it with the first post, a decent bit happened in that month.
My dwarf really does have some upper body injury, I have no idea how it got there and it wasn't from the boar.

Man, I forgot all about murderfarmed, I suppose I'll have to go catch up on what I missed.
In the meantime, I suppose I could try failing horribly not doing that, if you don't mind.

...How did I end up in a bush? O.o

Also, my computer appears to have sh*t the bed, so I won't be able to play my turn any time soon. It may not come to it, but if I haven't sent notice that it's better before my turn comes around, just suspend it indefinitely.
 

/obvious question

What would be a good sharing site to use?

Holy...

Abandon, then come back with pure military dwarves.

If we do this, I call a marksdwarf at embark.

Feel free to enlist me in the military as a marksdwarf, I was planning on doing that to myself anyway, and it'll help boost my experience.

Also, we need to talk roads. We need to agree on whether we want roads at all, whether we want these Schrodinger's roads to be made of wood or stone, and what type of stone we want them made of if we do want stone.  With the new Block making thing in 2012, we can make some pretty large roads with little material, and really, what village doesn't have ANY form of road?

I cast my vote for marble roads, because why not.

The only animals remaining are Giant Wrens, who are being decimated by our two hunters Infinity WEAPON and Ilral.

Hell. Yes. *fistbump*
