So here's a short update, I decided to cut it where I did due to us getting some playmates.

A raven blundered into a cage trap today. I don't even know why I'm writing about it. Not like we can get at it with the gate up. I wonder fi we'll get any migrants?

Spent the evening on the Fist. I decided I need to get outside more and Crusher was too drunk to even stand after dinner to take his turn on watch duty. I still gotta commend that dwarf for being able to do that. Anyways, A saw another flying rat drop. Damned thing was pecking around one of the weapon traps and set it off; jammed the thing up pretty good too surprisingly, so I may need to have the bridge lowered so the trap can be rearmed.

I've decided to begin some limited reconstruction of the walls topside. I figure that before long some idiot will notice a large chunk is made of wood that, after a decade of exposure to the elemets and whatnot is in somewhat poor repair. I've also put out an order for encrusting some of our junk. It'll get some of those excess gems we have sitting in crates in the depot.
I've also put an order out for mass production of beds, cabinets, doors, and chests. We have plenty of bins now for storage, and we can even see the floors in the storerooms now!

Harvest of the adamantine is going well. I'm fairly possitive we've torn up everything that can be safely extracted.

Mr Frog still hasn't gotten that damned box open. Apparently something went wrong with the locks. I bet humans made that cheap junk of a lock if it broke down.
Been a while since it rained blood. Even got a normal rainstorm earlier. I'm sure nature will fix that. just seems so.... Strange to me now seeing the plains with so little blood on them.

Called it.

Where does time go? Anyways, I got word that Marlin spotted a giant rat that slipped in through the untrapped cavern entry between wood gathering errands. Some idiot forgot to put in a door like I asked. Since War happened to be closest and armed, what with her being one of the civil defense sergeants, I she took some initiative and went after it into the abandoned parts of the fortress.

I found out what happened to Wari, by way of her dropping off a report of the battle. Apparently she spent three days hunting the over-sized vermin in the lower traffic parts of the fortress and cornered it by the old hospital. Her report says it took getting the thing backed against a wall for her to land more than a shallow cut, and she's fairly certain she tore one of its lungs and sliced both of it's right legs before it stumbled and she slew it with a thrust to the head. She came out unharmed aside from "A contusion received when the rat slammed me into the wall trying to escape." I'm pretty sure that means she got a bruise, but my first aid is pretty.... Well rusty to nonexistent since the last injury I treated was a dislocated arm.
