− | 10th Granite | + | 10th Granite I passed by the carpenter workshop recently to see Lir working furiously on my most recent work order. I was amazed how in the space of a few minutes he whittled a log down into a well made pipe section. I guess that fey mood he had really left its mark on him. |

− | 13th Granite | + | 13th Granite Alas the elven traders were not the same as the last one and were quite unfriendly. Unfortunately all they brought this time was many bins of cloth and a few berries. As a friendly gesture I gave them a gift of leather shoes that we had made to get rid of the leather that wasn’t jaguar, they seemed to like them. While I was busy two snatchers were caught in the cage traps and another tested our weapon traps for us. Two more were sighted but ran off. |

− | 20th Granite | + | 20th Granite Whist working on the stockpile records I heard screaming coming from outside my office. Rushing out I found dwarves running away from the entrance in a panic. I grabbed one of the nearby stationed soilders. “What the hells going on?” I demanded. “A goblin ambush was found, a member caught in a cage trap and the others not too far behind.” I cursed knowing this would be a trying test. “Keep everyone inside and don’t let anyone go after whatever gets dropped out there. Get the other squads over here and stay around the bend, let them come to us.” He nodded and rushed off to obey my orders. I went to the bend and peaked around. I saw the cage sitting there with an enraged goblin thrashing about inside and saw the mangled mess of a goblin, a spear goblin if the nearby spear was an indication, in a mangled mess in a weapon trap. I watched breathlessly as four goblins, wrestlers I think, came around the corner into the entrance. One stepped into the same weapon trap as the spear goblin. The trap jammed. Smiling, another goblin stepped over the trap and was promptly diced in the second row of weapon traps while the other was killed from a trap in the middle. After waiting for a few minutes I called out. “Looks safe.” Cattan, a hunter put into the military, rushed out for a quick check and confirmed it. The whole ambush was dead. Grimly we set about the task of cleaning up the mess and resetting the traps knowing we may not be so lucky in the future. |

I don’t know how but I got past them and got in here before they could catch me.” Hearing the sounds of the traps going off I rose and clapped him on the soldier. “Good work, go grab some alcohol to calm your nerves.” Tosid ran off. I peaked over the lip of the ramps just in time to see the last two goblins rush stupidly into the traps and literally fall apart. Making a head count, the best I could do with body parts sworn about the place, I found that all the goblins were accounted for with four dead and two captured. “Ok boys the goblins are taken care of but be careful, there may be more ambushes about.” I called back to the anxious dwarves behind me and we got to work. Even Tosid came back out and helped. |

While I was following him someone came up and told me of three snatchers that were caught in cage traps and of the three kobold thieves that Mosus found, while working on the road, who fled when found. Then he said that four snatchers that died in the same weapon trap!

Word of a series of snatchers in the traps has come to me. I ordered that no one go outside incase its anything like the situations we have had before with ambushes following. | Word of a series of snatchers in the traps has come to me.

Apparently I was right, an ambush showed up today and was decimated in the traps. This trend worries me. We don’t seem to catch any worthwhile prisoners, only snatchers, in the cage traps while the ambushers have a chance to bypass the traps as a result. I guess it’s a good thing we have more than one line of cage traps, even if they are behind the weapon traps. I thin everyone will be staying inside until some of the bodies have rotted to expose the bone. | Apparently I was right, an ambush showed up today and was decimated in the traps.

A lookout told me that there was one survivor to the ambush yesterday that keep falling unconscious, I sent Catten’s squad out to finish it. | A lookout told me that there was one survivor to the ambush yesterday that keep falling unconscious, I sent Catten’s squad out to finish it. | ||

I stood by the trade depot overseeing the reconstruction when I heard Catten’s squad approach. I turned around to welcome him but his serious expression made me stop. | I stood by the trade depot overseeing the reconstruction when I heard Catten’s squad approach.

“There was another fucking ambush out there that found us when we came out of the hall.” He said, every word measured and clipped. “None of us were injured but they got me two dogs the bastards.” He began stomping off. “Oh and we got that one bugger you sent us to get.” Catten called over his shoulder. I looked to Catten’s comrades. | “There was another fucking ambush out there that found us when we came out of the hall.” He said, every word measured and clipped. “None of us were injured but they got me two dogs the bastards.” He began stomping off. “Oh and we got that one bugger you sent us to get.” Catten called over his shoulder.

“At any rate good work. Go ahead and take a break, just keep an eye on Catten for me.” I waved the waiting dwarves forward to clean up the mess in the hallway and turned back to the construction. | “At any rate good work.

One of the children has decided to organize a party at our fledgling zoo. I think they want a better chance to make fun of our human prisoners. | One of the children has decided to organize a party at our fledgling zoo. I think they want a better chance to make fun of our human prisoners. | ||

Armor production for our main force has nearly reached its zenith. Soon we will make weapons then start on other projects with our precious steel. I also have realized there has been a grave over look of a decent map of this place. I’ve been working hard over these last few days and will bring out the map on the turning of the year. | Armor production for our main force has nearly reached its zenith.

I decided to vent a bit more on goblin prisoners so I’ve had some cages rigged in the sparring chamber. As I stood there the lever was pulled and cages opened, standing against me was a goblin snatcher, a goblin swordsman, and a goblin wrestler. Immediately I leapt for the snatcher rendering its head into pulp with one well placed strike and stunned the swordsman with a blow to the leg on the back swing. It fell and I made sure to put my pick in its chest to kill it. The wrestler, having tried the door to no avail, came at me but I caught it with a roundhouse swing of my pick and struck it right next to its spine. It doubled over in pain making my next strike off center and land on its right arm spinning it away. I followed and put it out of its misery with a well place strike to the chest. Having the door unlocked I strode out with a smile on my face and went back to work after taking off my armor. | I decided to vent a bit more on goblin prisoners so I’ve had some cages rigged in the sparring chamber.
