Bearskie's Journal

This morning we hear sounds from within the walls as we prayed. Were there demons in these walls too? No as it turns out, the demons were dwarves of mining descent. They want to knock a hole into god's ceiling and make water flow. The priest is unhappy, the temple dwarves are unhappy, I am unhappy. Everyone is unhappy now, says the miner dwarf, but everyone will be happy once water falls through the hole. People get angry at this, but a pickaxe narrowly misses a head and everyone flees.

Later we come back to the temple and there is a nice waterfall at the end. The smell of water is strange but soothing. Everyone is happy.

People pray alot in this place. They fear the dead but they fear the gods more. We have displeased the gods in this place, that is why the dead rise and walk. If we seek their wrath, worse things will follow. What is worse than the dead I ask, many many things they say. Things that they can see in their waking dreams. If we repent, may they sleep quiet in the dark.

One week later we are angry again. Someone peeked into the water system. It was crudely-engineered and open to the outside. What if the dead come through it? There is also a dead baby in the pipes.

Dead babies should not be in pipes. Dead babies should be in dead baby cribs. But nobody is willing to go and rescue dead baby, and people do not wish to turn off the waterfall. The water keeps us happy. They are shouting, this is okay. The baby is in the drain and not the source. This is okay. We are okay, we are happy, together we pray for poor baby. May he float and not stink.

I wonder if this is a foreshadowing.

I am starting to regret moving here, and not just because I've been drafted into the Army.

There is also a dead baby in the pipes.
The fact that this is phrased as an afterthought says a lot about the state of the fortress right now.

Like that it is kinda a failure at being a farmer's paradise?

part of it I think is that the original group saw so much death their entire memory is of death. leading to depression and deaths, which bring the newer arrivals into remembering death as well. should be starting to turn around 'slightly' though. given that we're starting to fit positive things more now.

A more appropriate tagline would be Breadbowl II: Harder Bread.

Also update the turn list already Quasar, for hamster's sake.

Looking forward to my turn... got some neat ideas of what to do with these folks, Is there a problem if I dorf myself on my turn?

Yeah, there's plenty of information out there, but you don't need that information to form an opinion and then defend it to the death.
Hey, don't be like that. Your life never had any meaning in the first place!

I did that, don't think there's any problem with it, dwarves enough for now (I hope. bear? ^^) was perhaps partially fortunate to find a migration wave effectively immediately after I started. don't think there's any problem? sorry for people who wanted to be dorfed but I didn't. lost track of who'd already been and who was still asking when I found someone listed on the OP as undorfed as being dead. did at least try to give an idea of who was still alive at the end at least.

Dead baby in the well is thing of Breadbowl.

You see, there was this flood some time ago where legend says a dwarven baby forever swims and guards the well and surrounds the nobles' dwellings under the indoor lake that is three urists deep!

Ok, this fort looks ridiculous and I want in on it. Any chance I could take a turn at some point?

only tangentally related to the fort, but I found a note from when I started immediately, and decided to make some statues of the deities, I checked it again (also in a few fort) and I don't seem able to designate a statue to be made of a deity (it seems to make a random other statue instead after I specify to make one of the deity.). anyone else have this or is it my DF somehow? (asking here before I post a bug report)
