The Goblins have returned. All dwarves are ordered to rush inside. they are Archers. A major design flaw was found in the structure of the entrance. There is no access to the well without being shot at by enemy goblins. As a result, the Entrance room will be redesigned. The second Bridge will be Removed.Record Keeper Deler Zuglarkulal, 1056, Early Spring, 21st Granite
There was a "Lever Malfunction", Resulting in the Goblins being released on the elves. This would have worked nicely, except for cog, who at that time opened the path to the fortress through a new location in the trade depot. My trap worked beautifully, killing one goblin solid. The rest are up to the elves.Record Keeper Deler Zuglarkulal, 1056, Early Spring, 21st Granite
Rīsen charged the goblins! I have no clue what she was thinking, but she pulled out her crossbow and rescued the elves. She shot one down and routed the rest. Record Keeper Deler Zuglarkulal, 1056, Early Spring, 22nd Granite
We started chasing the goblins out of the cave, and ran into the next wave. Cog, the fool that he is, stepped out and then retreated away from them but away from the path into the fortress too! Rīsen rushed out crossbow blazing to save Cog.
The lead goblin caught up with Cog as he fell over puking from the light of the sun. They missed him, but his light sickness severly hampered him as he tried to get away from the goblins. Fortunatly, Rīsen was there to give the goblins a prickly distraction. Unfortunatly, Rīsen concentrated on the lead goblin as the other four broke Cog's hand, and then ripped his heart out! Rīsen killed three of the five goblins. The other two escaped. Reg finally showed up.

The Human traders from Pesor Takru have arrived. We don't plan on trading with them, since we are doing a massive cleanup project on the surface, gathering all our materials into the fortress for melting down.Record Keeper Deler Zuglarkulal, 1056, Early Summer, 21th Hematite
Goblins have arrived. Our time of cleanup is over. We are retreating undergroundRecord Keeper Deler Zuglarkulal, 1056, Early Summer, 23th Hematite
Rīsen was run down and slaughtered. The goblins are now at the bridge exchanging fire with the humans.Record Keeper Deler Zuglarkulal, 1056, Early Summer, 24th Hematite
The humans are all slaughtered. I have to confess, I forgot to link the new bridges to the lever. The goblins now have free access to the keep, every dwarf has been mustered to fight them off.Record Keeper Deler Zuglarkulal, 1056, Early Summer, 24th Hematite
Reg is the first to engage the goblins. He has shot one of the goblins through the foot. The goblins have returned fire, Reg has taken a hit in his upper body, he doesn't look too good. I've reached the top of the ramp, followed by Rovod. We advanced under heavy fire. Strondo Aslotubspru has killed Rovod! I've been hit, my leg is horribly mangled. Imush, Stodir's squad leader is sleeping, so Stodir is put in charge of her squad. Arrows are raining down around me, wait, they seem to be fadeing. The goblins are running out of arrows! I still live, though my leg is bleeding heavily... I am starting to feel faint...******* 1055, Early Autumn, 25th Hematite
Death: Deler Zuglarkulal has bled to death

The Horrors never end! A new ambush, the goblin macemen are on our side of the bridge. I have rushed up to the surface, with the only other surviving adult concious dwarf, Kadōl Arbanatķr. I've ordered the bridge dropped, so if we survive this, we might survive a little longer. It is unknown how five goblins managed to kill Rīsen, slaughter all the humans and still have enough arrows left over to lay three of us down with our full plate armor, but now there is no way they can match my wrestling skills. Kadōl might have some trouble, but I'm sure we have this down. I advance on the nearest goblin, with Kadōl just a few steps behind me, the goblins rush to us. I break the leader goblin's lower arm, one of the macemen hit me in the head, I fall to the ground, knocked unconcious.Kadōl Bruises a goblin's upper torso, the goblin guard chops into Kadōl, slicing open her upper arm. Kadōl hurts a goblin macemen's upper torso. Stodir is struck by a goblin maceman, Stodir's leg is hurt. Kadōl damages a goblin maceman's arm, the goblin maceman is thrown across the hall. Stodir is struck down. Kadōl is struck down.
******* 1055, Early Autumn, 27th Hematite******************************************************************************Fortress declared ended.Man I'm pissed off, there was ONLY FOUR GOBLINS WITH BOWS, and yet they killed some 10 or so humans and four dwarves. Only survivors were the child and sleeper, fighting goblins that were mostly untouched. It was a fun game, but I think I'll train a few extra bowmen of my own next time. I was sure Rīsen was destined for the history books as the greatest marksdwarf of all time when she routed the goblins during the Butchery of Cog, but I guess that was just because she wasn't the one being picked on. I should have shut the bridge the moment she was attacked and sacrificed her, but since we were down to 8 dwarves, I wanted her to live  :(Oh well. Loosing is fun, expecially in a no Immigration Fortresses!At least not a lot of people picked up on this. I hope the readers enjoyed the fall of Måmgoztilat. I was kind of hoping for a dramatic fight with demons for a conclusion, with Måmgoztilat victorious and with a population over 100, ensuring it's place as a real fortress, but it didn't happen.
