OOC: Alright! Here it is! Frankly, out earlier than I expected. XD I managed to play through a whole year in about oh...5 hours? Got a pretty good amount done for what I have.

Hematite 20 Y29Not much has happened since the start of this new year, drafted a few defense ideas then set the miners to work on them. Until today. We got our first migrant wave! All of them from Redstar, they must have gotten sick of how that
tyrant, Delerdorf was running things and headed here. Or got sent out for 'conspiracy against the state' and found their way here. We welcome our comrades with open arms!
(Especially because none of them worship any gods of blight, thank Armok). Journal of High Priest of Armokian Socialism
Malachite 10 Y29The extra hands have been quite helpful! The ones who've dug even brought picks with them! This has made the various digging projects go much quicker. Especially the project to dig ever deeper! It has been announced, combined with a light breeze and puff of cavern spores, that the first layer has been discovered! I went to see for myself, then quickly ordered the stairs that lead into the hole in the roof that was made to be knocked out before being floored over. Can't have anything getting inside just yet! Even if it is only flying creatures. The miners quickly set about digging a route around the cavern toward a floor segment, but don't breach it. I'll have them cagetrap that place from here to Boatmurdered, to Deathgate, and back! Then put a two by three drawbridge just in front of the stairs later to be safe. Then, and only then, shall we breach the wall! I shall add a sketch later.

Limestone 11 Y29Nothing to note has happened for some time. Well, aside from Jack Frost chewing a plump helmet biscuit into the shape of a crossbow. I believe he's been drawing designs in the dirt outside, and I've found some crossbow shaped markings made from blood in the rarely visited corners of where we were outlining the aquifers. That dorf really wants his crossbow it seems...
Ah! I'm getting off track! Today the liason and caravan from the mountainhome has arrived! Good to see that they've not listened to Delerdorf. I ask them for threads, cloth, instruments, cheese, booze, and a few other things in the trade agreement. Then I had Rosareven make some wooden shields as quickly as possible to use in trade. We got a few things of cloth, some iron armor for Sanctume II, a bronze toy boat for the little one who came in the migrant wave...OH! And more picks! Always in need of more picks!

Sandstone 13 Y29This is fairly bad. We've run out of food! I tell the dwarves to get to grabbing what they can from the surface if they want to live.
Journal of High Priest of Armokian Socialism
Timber 1 Y29The food crisis is still ongoing, but there's some good news! Iteb has given birth to a girl! Our sanctuary and my group of children have grown by one! Rejoice!
Journal of High Priest of Armokian Socialism
Timber 2 Y29More good news! Migrants! They can help pick plants for the time being until the plump helmets are grown.
Journal of High Priest of Armokian Socialism
Timber 3 Y29Well, Iteb has been struck by a mood! I guess having a baby gave her an idea. I'd better tell someone to make a metalsmith's forge before she goes crazy. A legendary blacksmith on top of our legendary mason would be fantastic! Oh. I forgot to mention that in yesterday's log. Ah. As I was going through the papers of the migrants, Reg stood out due to her masonry skills. Those will be helpful in making this place even better than the mountain home and showing up that Commie Tyrant!
Journal of High Priest of Armokian Socialism
Timber 9 Y29Well. That tyrant must have decided to take the carvan's choice to leave into his own hands. Delerdorf has appeared upon our doorstep!!! Warped and twisted by the evils of this place to show his true form! As a result he has found us instead! TO ARMS! FOR ARMOK! GO SANCTUME! GO MINERS! DESTROY THE TYRANT LIKE HE DESTROYED YOUR HOMES!I'm watching the battle from around a corner. The tyrant was momentarily distracted by a dog we set up to watch for kobolds before setting his burning, power lusting gaze upon Vuohijumalovich. I wish I could say that he set upon the tyrant with his pick, but I cannot. Instead the tyrant set upon him with his teeth, shaking Vuohijumalovich like a dog does to a rope as it's being trained to fight or playing. I can see his clothes slowly turning red from here as his skin is torn open and blood seeps out from ripped vessels.I quickly checked my file on Vuohijumalovich's name and realized something quite morbidly ironic about this.During that time, the tyrant had moved his biting to Vuohijumalovich's head.
If he survives, he'll no doubt be twisted by the accursed lands like the tyrant was. I can hear his cries for help from here... OH! Here comes some help! Tovarish CABL slams her pick into the tyrant's left hand! Hoorah! Time to him to feel what a beating is like! In my excitment I'm afraid I missed when Vuohijumalovich died. He bled out in battle, so Armok couldn't be prouder. I shall pray to Armok for how to properly entomb such a worthy dwarf later.
(OOC: Hooray for Armok granting me the power to see those who are cursed!)
Soon after Tovarisch CABL saw that Vuohijumalovich had been killed, she put all her vengeance into her next swing and disemboweled the tyrant with a fountain of blood worthy for the altar of Armok. Surely she is blessed!
Unfortunately, it was not her who got the true killing blow, but she brought the Tyrant down enough and stepped back so that someone else may take some of the glory. Such a humble soul. Kogan must also be blessed for her pick cut the tyrant in twain! Both of these are statue worthy. I think I'll have each blow made in the metal or stone of their liking. Then they'll be placed along the caravan entrance.

Timber 13 Y29The forge was completed before the fight so she grabbed a copper bar, and we were waiting on a gem cutters to be set up temporarily by the temporary general stockpile to cut a few gems for Iteb to use during the fight. Today she grabbed the first one and set about making our first artifact! Because she's a blacksmith, it will be useful no matter what.
Journal of High Priest of Armokian Socialism
Timber 17 Y29The artifact has been finished!!! A fine item, perfect to be used in Tovarisch CABL's room.
We now have a legendary blacksmith! Beautiful statues and metal chests and chairs and other such things shall be made for sure! Alongside the stone and rock ones made by Reg, we'll be overflowing with masterwork items. Well. We would if I refused to let them make more than we need. I'll loosen the amount for trading later once we're firmly established.
In honor of Tovarisch CABL's glorious fight, this years ordained coins shall be made from Trifle Pewter!

Obsidian 15 Y29Took them a few days to haul the ores up to smelt them into trifle pewter, then a shorter period for Jack Frost to mint them, then a few more days to get them placed next to the Y28 coins in the dining hall. Thankfully it didn't take a few weeks into next year this time!

Granite 1 Y30We have made it. Year Thirty! I have gone around sketching our current set up on all important layers.
Surface level
Blue is caravan, green is gobbo, red is
execution chamber(in need of funny acronym, it will throw people into the air if that helps), and the white is the fortress itself. Temporary carpenter and wood furnace to the bottom of the sketch.
A z-level down.
Colors still correspond with the top layer. You can see where the statues will go.
2 z-levels from the surface.
Bottom of execution chamber. Gonna make it coated in silver bars then weapon traps with copper serrated disks.
3 z-levels down.
Bottom of the dodge-me trap. I'm going to dig out the center path's squiggle so they can't climb that, as well as most of the outer wall so they can't climb up. You can see the temporary, general stockpile is being converted into farm land. To the bottom right is the WIP hospital. Instant water access!
A few more down.
The tavern dance floor.
One below the dance floor.
Upper Level To-Be-Legendary Dining Hall, the bedroom part of the work-houses, the chairs and tables section of the tavern, and the offices to the left of the dining hall, denoted by their extra thingy at the back.
(OOC: Due to me working on this at 3:AM and needing sleep, I'm just gonna throw the things here.)
Kitchen, food stockpile, tavern booze hall, soon-to-have-ramps-to-the-bedrooms, workshop layer of work-houses. People assigned to whatever bed is above the workshop, and assigned to the workshop.
Raw material storage of work-houses
Cavern breach section
Legendary mason's workshop.
EoY Wealth
EoY Pop
EoY Deaths
Vuoh, what materials do you want your coffin and the statues of your tomb to be made from? And the designs of the statues if you wanna go that far?
Edit: I will sort people as unedited named dwarves. All the Comrades shall keep.
