I've only managed to get through spring. Oh well. Dinnertime!
--16th Granite, 1056
-The elves are at our trade depot. Well, it's not me who'll have to deal with them!
And in better news, I found a vein of Galena while going over our maps! Joy!
--19th Granite, 1056
-Dumat has finished trading. He got a whole load of useful wood products such as barrels, as well as booze. He also bought all their dye at my behest.
I'm starting to enjoy this somewhat. It's too bad that I shall have to stop eventually, but such are the rules. Never let it be said I am not a fair ruler!
--25th Granite, 1056
-Bwee! Idea!
--6th Slate, 1056
-Why is Old Mirrorpicks called Mirrorpicks when his last name is actually Mirrordrinks? I MUST KNOW! In fact, I'm going to go to him right now and- ohh, pretty Obsidian Door...
--16th Slate, 1056
-Things progress apace on both of my ideas. Eeexcellent..
--18th Slate, 1056
-Because we could not produce the gold items she mandated in time, our mayor has ordered Asen Tathurasen beaten. The real "criminals" here are the miners, since they haven't found any gold nuggets, but foremost of them is Old Mirrorpicks and for some reason I doubt Dumat wants to order him beaten. Hee.
--21st Slate, 1056
-How is it cave spider remains produce such horrifying miasma despite their tiny size? You can almost see the disgusting smell! Eugh!
--23rd Slate, 1056
-So. It would appear Kekaththedak is now a Barony. With this comes the damn Tax Collector, the brutal Hammerer and the Baroness and her consort.
Oh dear. I suppose I shall have to instruct our miners to dig out some rooms and our masons and carpenters to make furnishings.
An interesting fact is that on the Hammerer's hammer, which must've been especially made to celebrate his going to here, there is an image of a dog leather thong. Paintedgleeful the Smooth Clash-Spine if I'm to be any judge.
Other migrants have also arrived. Two fisherdwarves, because the abundance of water around here. Hmm, now that I think about it, I doubt the baroness would be happy without some protection from a royal guard. Of course, this is in no way related to the fisherdwarves I just mentioned, they're just too valuable. They also have a companion who's a fish dissector. And a jack-of-all trades fishery worker too! And of course I can't forget the lye and potash makers! We always need more of those! Other are more useful. A weaponsmith and a metalsmith, for example, and a leatherworker who'll be able to use all that leather we have. We also have three peasants. A glassmaker, who would be useful if we had any sand. And a miner, whose usefulness is obvious.
Well, I always thought there was a bit of a deficiency in the number of marksdwarves around here.
Plus, I will be known as the leader who brouught us to the status of a 105 dwarf town! Go me! Bweee! I certainly deserve my tomb and rooms...
--25th Slate, 1056
-Oh great. Now Dumat wants green galss items. I suppose we have the magma to power a glass furnace, but where are we supposed to get any sand? Last time I heard we only had some silty clay loam in the sparse soil layer.
--27th Slate, 1056
-Sibrek Toldplanks has given birth to a baby girl today. She named her Reg Girdertrussed.
--7th Felsite, 1056
-My tomb is complete! Bweehaha har dee harhar! It's beutiful! It's amazing! I'ts MIIINEE!
Of course, it's nothing too extravagant. Just entirely constructed out of beutiful beutiful pretty pretty pretty galena... I also had two silver statues and two sterling silver statues installed in it, as well as the centerpiece sterling silver sarcophagus. Not as pretty as galena, but still. It's similar enough. Shiny, too!
--10th Felsite, 1056
-Alas, I am annoyed every signle day by the asymmetry of ofthe central chasm-bridge. We need two additional bronze statues and lack the bronze to make them! We need four more bars, which means we need two more, only two, and yet we don't have them! ARGH!
--12th Felsite, 1056
-I can understand the hammerer wanting them. The baroness and her consort probably want them for show. But WHY BY THE STONES OF IRONBRONZE DOES THE TAX COLLECTOR WANT A WEAPON RACK AND AN ARMOR RACK?
In other news, I am planning on building somewhat larger rooms for the commoners. They will all contain a cabinet and a coffer, courtesy of our masons.
--18th Felsite, 1056
-Tosid Kibnamásh, one of our Hammerlords, has given birth to a baby girl. She named her Zon Watchguilds.
--24th Felsite, 1056
-Nish Dumatgutid, child of Edem Eshonber and Rigoth Zonuthmik, has suddenly started acting strangely. For example, she has suddenly started speaking in a bassy rumble you'd associate only with an adult male dwarf. She's also acting like an adult instead of a child. It's like she's been possessed! She's also acting like one of our dwarves have when struck by inspiration. Possibly she'll create another leather thong; I wouldn't put it pas her.
--25th Felsite, 1056
-Skeletal muskoxen attack!
I've dispatched the Granite Lakes and the Geared Lenses of Paint, and sent the Permanent Odorous Theaters as an afterthought.
Also, the child Nish has claimed one of our craftdawrf's workshops.
--26th Felsite, 1056
-The skeletal muskoxen were handily defeated. Unfortunately, it's a well known fact that dwarves always carry their babies with them, and so we must admit that Edem's baby Stodir Sibrekod is dead, tron into by the skeletal menace.
The only other casualties were a pet dog and of course all the wile skeletons.
Also, the baroness demands that we better equip our soldiers. She has mandated the construction of a steel item.
--1st Hematite, 1056
-Things proceed, I suppose. It is summer now, and summer should bring human caravans if my memory serves.
--3rd Hematite, 1056
-The noble rooms are now fully furnished and complete. Now they'll finally stop pestering me!
