2nd of Granite, 252:I have taken a survey of the place. It's definatley not the same as before and severely undermanned with only 11 fourmites. I decided we need more resources... And by resources I mean swords. How many do we have? We don't know? Well lets change that. We need to wait for someone who can count things to arrive, because I don't think anyone here can count past ten... I don't know why... One thing I also noticed: WHO ON EARTH MADE THE WORKSHOPS ON TOP OF THE QUARTERS!?!?!? Does one not realise that workshops are LOUD. This will make us all very tired from not sleeping well! I decided to make the bedrooms under it a stockpile for furniture. I also designed some rooms for the nobles. Who said Apiks gets the best room in the house and we lesser nobles get little hovels? Not I! I made four for now. One for me, one for NAV, one for BFEL, and one for whoever our archiver will be (I hope they come soon... I need a sword count!). I am also going to clean up all the crap in the dining room once I start getting some stuff organized. I'm also thinking about making some traps and a better military. Problem is, I need another lacke- I mean recuit to spar with our friends here. I'm also digging straight to the 100th Z-Level. Get some more room to build things. And maybe find something interesting... Like marble or some other flux stone for BETTER SWORDS!!!! AND MAGMA! Gotta have magma... Or we can just get lots of charcoal... But that'd piss of those elves... Wait, WHO CARES? I don't care about no damn elf! Hell, I killed some back in Glidesnarls! If they show their ugly heads here, I'll just make sure they get the message: WE DONT LIKE ELVES.

NAV and Apiks came up to me to report something of interest:
I looked over the reports and also found this inside of it:
I was dumbfounded. What the Hell is a downward passage? I ordered up that section of stair leading to it to be walled off, NEVER TO BE OPENED AGAIN. Whatever comes out of that passage can't be good news. I saw all the gold and stuff in the walls from their reports and I told them we can't risk it. Theres an ample supply of water down there that we might use one day for a well, but I'm not going NEAR there until we know whats down there.

Apiks and NAV came running and started talking over and over and panicing. I told them both to calm down and then tell me calmly one at a time. Apiks told me they hit yet ANOTHER cavern. Great! Another one! Right when we got the first one walled off! Wall off any way to that floor and dig around again... If I hit another cavern and still dont find magma I will not be pleased. On the bright side, we found out where the downward passage leads to. And we have quite a bit of native and horn silver and native gold. Gold sarcophagus anyone? How about some monuments of the old world made here? *pen sploches here and there, next page has writting*
I dropped my pen and spilled my ink upon remembering those horrible thoughts. Nothing of the old world will be glorious. There is only death in that world... And only death will come if we continue as they did...
13th of Slate, 252:
BFEL just ran in on me during my training session and shouted he can see friends comming from the south. I sheathed my sword and ran out to greet them. We need all the hands we can get to deal with this place. I ran out to greet them all one by one, thinking we will get about four or five pairs of hands when I saw what appeared to be an entire crowd rushing towards us. I grabbed BFEL but his collar and yelled in his face. "I THOUGHT YOU TOLD ME THERE WERE FRIENDS! NOT AN ATTACK!" I drew my sword, ready to break the seige when I saw a fourmite man come. I sheathed my sword. Well now, that was stupid of me wasn't it? I did end up greeting all of them... All 25 of them... And they brought 11 animals with us, some of them strays... MEATS BACK ON THE MENU TONIGHT!
OOC: Apiks, who else needs to be fourmited? We have plenty to name now! Grand total of 36 strong now!
