The entrance to the caves on the left is already blocked off at a higher level, and the empty spoiler has Wax's profile in it. Not sure why you can't see it.

Asmoth's Log, 20th of Opal 254.
Now that some of the new bedrooms are reasonably kitted out, I got one of our up and coming artists to make a drawing of the rooms:


The rooms to the left are going to be converted into office space and various chambers for the nobility if I get any say in it. Doubtless they'll just end up as stockpiles for turnip seeds instead.

He must be pretty good to remember the locations of everyone while he drew it, but I suppose that's what you get when you take the time to find a good artist. Unfortunately, that obsessive attraction to detail seems to be carried over to every part of his life, judging by this description of our militia commander that was written on the back.


In accordance with the wishes of our founder, I've also taken the time to send directions to our fortress back to the mountainhomes so that they can locate our amazing floodgate in the case of an emergency.

With the laying down of a layer of cage traps at the top of the stairs, the caves have once again been opened for business at this entrance. We also have three crundles, one male and two female (we had another male but someone killed him for food). In any case, this should make sure that our fortress is adequately supplied with food and wood.

Er, yeah, it's a floodgate so I'll probably stick it in some noble's bedroom.

I put some cage traps down where the cave crawler got in while I was ordering the stairs sealed up, but didn't take them back up again, so they caught a few crundles.

Only the first cave was breached, it just feels weird writing it in the singular when talking about something as big as they are.

Obtaining the save now. Might keep the ridiculously small bedrooms for children and other parasites.

Stuff happened, people died. There are still links to the overseer posts on the first page.

So, I know that there are plans to have dwarves that share a skillset or god associate more, but what about ones that are just friends or lovers? Why not give each meeting hall a higher priority for each dwarf when they have no job/are on break based on how many of their friends are already idling in that room, with a negative modifier for and grudges that are present? It would make it easier for dwarves to build relationships and get married, though whether or not this is a good thing would be a matter of opinion, I guess.

As part of this, maybe add some code that makes friends or lovers arrange to take their breaks simultaneously so that they can hang out more.

Thane's journal.

I am beginning to see Vlad's point about the lunatics in this place. Clearly, I was blinded by my belief in the good nature of dwarves before. Some woman has popped up, claiming to be the reincarnation of Dan, probably inspired by whatever Fallen Angel we're on now. More worryingly, someone seems to have been raiding our burial chambers. At first, I thought that this was a minor problem but the bodies have started turning up again, horribly mutilated and covered in burns that are very similar to those you'd get from molten metal. Is this some form of terror tactics, or just some madman? I cannot tell yet, but I plan to find out. They will pay for this madness.
