Workshops are busy at the start of winter. Ncommander is stumbling around oblivious again, thought he had got better and back to work. Shorast frees the caged dwarves finally.
Flame, chief medical dwarf set out presumably for his civilian uniform before returning straight to work. Risen however will dance no more.
Work continues, some things I might want to keep a spectral eye on.
And some things I really should have kept a spectral eye on.
The miners have followed the pump stack plans straight up into the aquifer. Water is pouring from the ceiling down the access stair and spreading out at the base. Jobs are cancelled and labour redirected to separate the access stair from the stack with a door at the top level and hatch over the stairs there as well to stop the flow of water before it comprimises the lower levels. It has already started to pour into the lowest.
Progress is swift, the door is up in no time and the first hatch was just put in by some dwarf who stood in the doorway to do the job - and left the rock he moved to do it propping the door open.
The low-priority delay of the rock dumping job is offset by the installation of the secon hatch diverting the aquifer leak down the pump stack where surface area soaked a lot of it up. By the time the leak was stopped the lowest level had been flooded enough to temporarily trap workers but not so much that it will significantly affect progress.
Meanwhile there have been some uncharacteristic husk and undead interruptions of the necro-workforce. Occasionally resulting in violence.
Some lord consort necromancer visited, waited a while in the nefarious fog then got in a fight with a goblin scholar. Another Risen, an astronomer, visits from upwind and decides entering the fort is the best idea.
With the danger passed the surface is again permitted for the miners to work on correcting the aquifer leak. Risen the astronomer is mace-beaten to death in the tavern by the human maceman nefarious fog husk that hangs around. Some crundle corpses are dispatched by the military.
The action continues in the tavern with a new contender making itself known by showing up and tearing apart a mutil-cultural group of visiting entertainers. The locals are entertained.
Another therapod is noted in the caverns, Lene Cuthabeiru, a webber. One to keep track of.
The aquifer plug is dropped through part of the wagon tunnel system. The displaced water ended up being too much to evaporate and so was drained back into the aquifer.
Goden, the mooded dwarf finishes an obsidian bracelet after waiting rather a while for the bones.
The hole in the surface made for the aquifer plug is half built over.
Archereon, who has been having quite a tough time aliving in the fort has finally met his match stumbling into a blue peacock head skin on main stair new residential level.
The commotion attracts Ted Sladazop's corpese which acttually starts doing some damage. Risen's corpse make a now headless reappearance and is again struck down by passing chief medical dwarf necromancer Flame. The Night Guard is sent in the thin out the crowd after three disembodied manera hands suddenly all lay into Archereon's unconcious body at once.
Back down to just the peacock head skin, the interruptions continue on the main stair. Worse now it seems Erib, the mayor, and Zuglarkun are stuck fighting the thing as well after trying to pass by.
On an impulse the walls separating the main stair from the housing halls are dug out. The fight flows into one of the bedrooms to be dealt with later. *click*
A round of prioritized dumping seems in order. It seems the recent peacock skin battles may have been related to sloppy attempts at providing bones for Goden's mood. Spring is a few days off and will hopefully bring some new life to this place.
