1st, Granite Year 201
Started excavation of two hills, one sand and one rock, in order to make room for a base of operations and get stone for temporary workshops. Manos led the other miner and woodworker to the site while I stayed behind and helped pack things up the hill after them. He seems optimistic about this, which is surprising to say the least considering everyone else wants to take an axe to either the king or themselves. And to think we’ve only just arrived.
{Personal note: once things get settled here, start looking through old texts to find the meaning of Senior Manos De Pierdas’ name.}

Finally! After one month the first stone towards my beautiful creation has been laid.
I’ve also been planning a system to pump magma into the furnace once we find some…now if I were to….no that wouldn’t work…but if I…no the whole thing would collapse that wall…
{Personal Note: We need Bauxite.}
24th, Hematite Year 201
We’ve built a Craftsdwarf shop, although I don’t know what we’ll use to make them. I now also understand why the goblins do not build into the mountain as we do. Why they enslave the other races of the world. This is long and tiring with only seven dwarves who must self sustain the site and construct the tower. Damn, we need immigrants.
15th, Malachite Year 201
Two notes of interest. 1: I’m postponing magma pumping indefinetly. 2: I’ve started to learn the names of the people I lead. Our woodcutter (named Kness apparently) was in an argument with our craftsdwarf over why he shouldn’t be on break. Really, I see no problem in itthe trees do not obstruct us at this point and nothing of note is needed to be made…except for trade goods…should never have sided with him…

I cut Kness a deal when he woke up from his nap under a highwood tree today. If he finished cutting down all the trees inside the walls of our tower he could go hunting with that big axe. I think he almost fainted in excitement.

Watched Kness run across the brook and onto the mountain chasing what looked like a cute innocent groundhog. Meat is meat I suppose. Where is that butcher?
22nd, Galena Year 201
Kness chased a horse into the under-construction wall, threw it to the ground, ripped out part of its gut, watched it vomit, and ran off…I would say he is mentally unsound but he’s not overseeing the construction of a dwarven tower….is it possible to drown oneself in a brook?
23rd, Galena Year 201
No it’s not.
24th, Galena Year 201
We heard a horrible scream come from the mountain and Kness is nowhere to be seen. I’m building a casket and then I’m going to look for him. And it gets worse, Manos almost went berserk on the spot when we heard the scream. Apparently the poor bastard had made a friend, now he only has the miner.
1st, Limestone Year 201
Still no goods. Manos decided to be the one to go collect Kness. I told him to go dig a small tomb behind the tower base in the hole and we would have it smoothed later. He just nodded his head silently and left. Perhaps I didn’t try hard enough with the brook a couple months back.
