Zefon is a hell of a woman. She's apparently one of the finest bowyers on the continent and a master carpenter in addition to being an expert at logging. I've made Hostergaard manager of this outfit, he's to clear up any semantic ambiguities in “carpentry.” The “carpenters” who are stacking logs into passable walls are not to go anywhere near the delicate carpentry that's creating all our furniture.

Saw a happy little family of racoons today. I've been in a sour mood lately but there's a certain alien beauty to the surface world. I feel reinvigorated. I wonder what Helmet had to say about Raccoons?
Armok the bastard really was crazy. Raccoons are murder-thieves? I suppose they might eat some unattended food but we have dwarves working in or near the stockpile at all hours, there's no way they could do any real harm. I gave one a bit of turtle meat, and watched it munch it with it's cute little teeth gnashing and cute little whiskers all quivering.

THE RACOON HAS A BATTLE AXE I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT A RACOON HAS A BATTLE AXE!
YOU EVIL LITTLE BASTARDS, WHY WOULD YOU WANT THAT AND HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY TAKE IT! The thought infuriates me, copper's become scarce and that axe could be the difference between life and death out here. I sent fishybang out to kill every last racoon in the surrounding area but the damage is done. I should have never questioned the book, Helmet survived somehow in these wilds and I can't keep second guessing him.

The Ravens are gone, I expect they'll be back. I think I'll have zefon create a few crossbows and one of the craftsmen make a few bolts. We don't need the specter of death hanging about. I've finalized the layout of the town. On the rivers west bank there will be manors for the nobility, we who were once spit on, and on the east the hovels of those who subjugated us. Farmpracticed will not forgive.
