Ooh, wonderful! I'd like to claim the marksdwarf, please.

notxmania, any special nicknames you want on your dwarf?Record Keeper Kogan Mėshosdeduk, 1053, Mid-Autumn, 4th Sandstone
Rîsen thinks she is funny. She got her hands on Stodir's notes and built some of the supports. Since she appears to have so much free time, I have ordered her to practice her crossbowdwarfship.Record Keeper Kogan Mėshosdeduk, 1053, Mid-Autumn, 14th Sandstone
The traders from Bëmbul âl have left today. We didn't quite buy everything steel from them, but we came awfully close. Rovod Thedakral will have her hands full for quite awhile melting it all down and processing it into armor.

Our Outpost Liaison, Eshtân Obokr, asked what we would like brought in the next caravan. I informed him that we desperatly need steel, and we could use some wood and charcoal. He informed me that if we need it that badly, we can pay 21% more for wood, 108% more for steel, and 20% more for charcoal. I accepted this, since we need them to bring us those items if we are to have the weaponry to handle the goblin attacks. Eshtân informed me that some of the nearby fortresses could use wooden amulets and ammunition pretty badly, and that there were shortages of seeds, shields, and large gems Civilization wide. He also expressed a desire for prepared meals, tanned hides, refined coal, and legwear. He also said spears and meat would fetch a decent price, if we were willing to get some together. I told him I would see what we could do. I suspect we might decide to part with some of our bone bolts come next autumn.Record Keeper Kogan Mėshosdeduk, 1053, Mid-Autumn, 27st Sandstone
Reg Satzuglar was found sleeping in the corridors again. I'm not sure if it is because he finds it comfortable, or if it's so he is closer to the combat zone. Record Keeper Kogan Mėshosdeduk, 1053, Late Autumn, 17th Timber
Rovod got it into her head somehow to take some of our rose gold and turn it into flasks. I don't know exactly why she chose to do it, but we now have 6 rose gold flasks. Record Keeper Kogan Mėshosdeduk, 1053, Early Winter, 16th Moonstone
I came up with an excellent idea today. Catapults! If the trader hallway is covered with a catapult, it will increase our ability to handle the goblin attacks. I adjusted the plans for the digging on the trader level to allow for this to be added.Record Keeper Kogan Mėshosdeduk, 1053, Early Winter, 20th Moonstone
A thief was sighted in the fortress. We sealed up the entry, we expect to find him eventually.Record Keeper Kogan Mėshosdeduk, 1053, Early Winter, 14th Opal
We still haven't found the thief. We are pretty sure he is trapped inside the fortress. I have ordered some cage traps constructed in trader hallway. Hopefully we can catch him with one of those.

Our lack of metals is a serious problem. While melting the junk we have will solve some of the concern, we need mines for more copper. I have ordered a mine to be started. Given the fact that mines can lead to dangerous places, I have ordered a complex system to provide marksdwarves a large hall to fire into safely. I believe I will also create a system to flood the entire mine, just in case all is lost and we must abandon our digging efforts. Record Keeper Kogan Mėshosdeduk, 1054, Early Spring, 1st Granite
Three years we have been here. Three years. When we first arrived, we arrived with seven dwarves. Myself, Rîsen Atolled, Stodir Bomrekimesh, Rovod Thedakral, Asën Gusgashoslan, Deler Zuglarkulal, and Urvad Idenaknûn. The first arrival after we established ourselves was Imush Ledzasit, followed by Atîs ïngizmeden, then Cog Nomalnokgol, then îton Abanral, his wife Kadôl Arbanatír, and their two children Reg Satzuglar and Rigōth Nerstâkud. Five of the original seven still live. Just the same, the others have become valuable members of the community, some, such as Kadôl Arbanatír, are directly responsible for the success of the fortress. As per our charter with Queen Led Kûbukudist, we cannot accept immigrants as our primary population growth. Immigrants do not come to our fortress, regardless of the tales of wealth that spread out with the traders, because doing so would defy the edict of the Queen. Last year, we saw major attacks from goblins, killing several of our number, each irreplaceable. As Expidetion leader, I have the right to set the goal for the year for the fortress. The goals for the last three years have been exactly the same, make the shell of a self-sustaining fortress. The shell is made, so now what? Either the fortress becomes more militant, or we must grow our population. I intend to release all personnel not active in the creation of our weapons of war or our food from their tasks, and allow them all to socialize and see what develops. The Goal for the year is to encourage population growth without loosing our military edge. The Dwarves Rîsen Atolled and Reg Satzuglar will be responsible for the safety of the fortress, and have been drafted into the military as of today. Kadôl Arbanatír will keep her farming job. All other jobs will be removed except for Food Hauling, Cleaning, and Health Care. The forges will be restarted midsummer, the Architecture training will begin again next year if feasible. Reg and Rîsen will train on the sword to conserve crossbow bolts. The Dwarves will still remain ready to be invaded, however, and keep their armor close. It is a drastic change, but it is an ambitious goal. Record Keeper Kogan Mėshosdeduk, 1054, Early Spring, 16th Granite
The elven trade caravans arrived. Last time this brought goblin attack. We are bringing mechanisms created last year to trade off for wood, just in case there is wooden objects we want. Reg's squad has been activated and will be watching the area closely.Record Keeper Kogan Mėshosdeduk, 1054, Early Spring, 28th Granite
I traded some medium-quality mechanisms for a female cougar. If the elves ever come around with a male cougar, we might go ahead and buy that from them as well. I have made it available to be a pet. I am sure it will help our defensive capabilities.(Edit: Bolded)[ February 28, 2008: Message edited by: Kogan Loloklam ]
