Cog’s Journal, 1st of Sandstone, 304 Today was a day of both good and bad news. The good news is that Rogue is finally back on her feet thanks to the skillful work of our doctor. She immediately grabbed a drink and her pick and headed back to the quarry.
The bad news is that today Adil finally emerged from the clothier’s shop, melancholic and dejected at her failure to achieve her vision. All attempts to cheer her up have failed and she’s stopped eating and drinking. I fear she is lost to us.
Cog’s Journal, 12th of Timber, 304I regret to note that Adil passed away from thirst today. She will be buried in a coffin in our small temporary graveyard until proper catacombs can be carved in the depths. I am pained by the tragedy of a dwarf passing not through combat but due to the lack of shells.
Events of the 15th of Timber, 304“Welcome back to our humble fortress Erush!” Erush turned with a start from gazing at the growing pit that was forming in the front of Towersoared.
An unfamiliar dwarf named was waving at her. She cursed silently under her breath, as she had been hoping to explore the fortress further.
The dwarf came up to her, “I’m Geshud Likotsat, the new Mayor of Towersoared. I’ve taken over administrative duties from Cog.” The new mayor lead her into the fortress through the same entrance she had used in the past two years. She sized up the new mayor, who’s left eye was twitching nervously. Not an experienced negotiator apparently. This should be interesting and potentially profitable.
But at the corner next to Cog’s office, the new mayor took a turn into a narrow hallway leading to a ramp. “Where are we going, I thought the main fort was back there” said Erush.
Geshud started babbling as they walked. “Oh yes, yes it is. The temporary quarters are over there. But work was finished on the first block of finished quarters, and my office happens to be right across from my room! Isn’t that great?” she said as they walked down 12 flights of stairs through a partially finished stairwell that looked like it would be fairly impressive. “Cog says there will be three other stairwells like this to provide easy access to our rooms when everything is done.”
Two masons were working in a shop at the bottom of the stairs next to a long door lined hallway. Geshud continued babbling. “Of course it takes a lot less time to bring the masons to the rocks, but it does get noisy with all the constant work. But anyhow, here is my office.
Geshud opened the door into a beautifully smooth walled room. Erush tried her best to keep her mouth closed. Looking up, she realized the room was 2 floors high which was quite unusual. She composed herself. Cog certainly was busy over the past year, these offices were very decent indeed, even without any engraved decorations on the floor. She desperately wanted to find out more, but she was under orders not to ask too many questions. She wasn’t sure if that was to aggravate Cog more or less at this point.
Still, Erush had a job to do. “So Geshud, let’s discuss your situation . . .”
Cogs Journal, 15th of Timber, 304I just realized I don’t have to deal with the liaison from mountain home this year! Time for a party!
(OOC): I suspect Dimple cups or quarry bushes would do the trick rolled up in a pipe!
