Expeditioner's Log, 081209[edit]
0715[edit]
Dug into sand, the earth here is arable, ordered farms to be built and plump helmet's to be planted. Plenty of farmland to feed hungry dwarves. Still need to build the brewery's, but the stocks we brought from the mountainhomes ought to suffice for a few months at least.
0915[edit]
Started to delve down into the deep, it feels good to cut the earth with my pick. The sun was starting to get to me, I do love the dark. Started construction of the main hallway. Going to plan the first workshop-zone's soon, then look into barracks locations.
0940[edit]
Designed the main workshop area, started construction. Designed Sleeping area, ordered construction to begin, but the workshops are the larger project. Still need to design trade good workshop, barracks, and meeting hall, but things are off to a speedy start.
0945[edit]
Enlisted the carpenter to help dig the workshops. All dwarves have the ability to cut rock, wood is for sissy girl-elves. Kazak! Nothing remains in the wagon, so I ordered it taken apart, we'll need those logs for the furnaces.
1000[edit]
Ordered the construction of the carpenter's shops. Took the Carpenter off mining duty. The Mason will take his place till his area is ready. First crops coming in now, the helmet's are bright purple and looking delicious. Now we just need a still so we can brew them into liquor!
1010[edit]
Ordered my woodsman to clear-cut the forest- what sparse amount there is of it. I will have no trees in this fortress, unless they are burnt to fuel my smelters!
1310[edit]
Some miasmatic clouds formed around where my fellow dwarves were working (and eating) and in the food stocks, I'll need more barrels, and a Dining area to prevent that stinking stuff from fouling up the morale.

This was the final entry of the Rirassodel log, we at the mountainhomes grieve their loss -- our adventurers found the fortress at Rirassodel intact, but no one inside remained. We will never know what happened to the brave dwarves and dwarvesses who were there, but we hope that they are now in the Great Mine in the hereafter.
