Dear Embark Site Selection Committee-

I petitioned the committee for a site with, I thought, I very reasonable list of requirements. No aquifer. Some soil, to farm on. Metals at various heights because WE ARE DWARVES. And flux stone, because steel is necessary. You gave me a list of several suitable sites, though I wonder why you seemed so insistent on my embarking in either sinister areas or areas infested with Armokdamned unicorns.

After exhaustively sifting through each prospective site, I have to ask, would it really have been that hard to tell me that there was no flux stone, apparently anywhere in the world?

Dear Overseer;
You survived the journey?!  Uh... Well, there IS flux stone, but you'll have to dig deep for it.  VERY deep.  Just under those metal veins in the magma sea, in fact.  There's lots of flux stone under there, according to our surveys...

Sincerely;
The Very Suspicious Embark Site Selection Committee

Dear Urist McPriest-doctor.

Please stop spamming your recuperation-buff spell at all hours. You have only been using it on yourself, nonstop, for weeks. At least try to shake things up a but by using some of the other spells you know.

Sincerely, your Overseer Who Doesn't Like to Check His Combat Reports Like a Paranoid Elf for Fear that Something is Actually Happening In-Between Your Spell Castings.

So... you want me to get this supposed flux from a place I need at least steel and probably candy to get to. Does this have anything to do with no less than THREE nobles having a preference for slade?

To the executioner.

Thank you for testing the execution skill tag on your noble position.  It was very impressive watching you chop that vampire into chunks with that iron greatsword.  Despite how you had to write it down in all the paperwork as a hammering.

Next time however please avoid sending vampire limbs into the prison water source.  Not all the convicts are vampires, and I would like to avoid making more.

The administration.

Dear executioner,

That's not a measure of speed at all: it's a plan of action!

Dear Dwarves of Astikal "Sabreheal",

Please stay away from that Infernal Ash.
Also, get started on breaching the caverns. You guy's'll need water soon, as you're on a glacier with no plants or trees.

Sincerely,

Reudh.

Dear Tholtig, mechanic of Luremachines:

DO YOUR JOB RIGHT. >:( You are the head mechanic (by virtue of being the ONLY mechanic), and as such are my front line against the elven menace. If you cannot hook up a bridge, floor hatch, and door so that they are open and closed at the same time, YOU FAIL. Please fix this issue, before I dig down to the magma just to throw you into it.

P.S.: NO BREAKS UNTIL THE DROWNING TRAP IS DONE.  >:( >:( >:(
