I do not understand how it happened but somehow Olnen has been captured by the simplest of wooden cage traps. A well-crafted highwood cage. It's like catching a horse with a mere bundle of twigs and some of that elvish chewing gum. Whatever miracles may have been involved, I've ordered the bridge reopened so that we may resume collecting wood.

Us metalworkers get nigh the respect we are due, spending whole days just going to-and-fro to get work done. I suppose it's expected when the citizens don't honor the *true* metalcrafts of war. The administration here is more concerned with pumping out trinkets.

Holy mugs, Armok. While furniture and nick-knacks of petty ores may please our ''dear administrators'', my talents for armoring go unused. We'll see how the administration likes it when our soldiers face battle lacking all equipment...

The current administration is producing way too much food. No variety either. All helmets and... fibrous pig tail. Mmm, rope biscuits. If Avuz doesn't get some new seeds from the next caravan I'm gonna shove a granite mug up his lower intestine.
 
−
 
 
−
There isn't even any place for all this food to go. I fear it's all going to wilt on the fields.

Cats! Everywhere cats! Unclaimed cats! Cats ripe for harvest! Yet there are no butcher shops. I suppose I will eat these weeds rather than feast on wholesome meat. I suppose that is mayor Eridani's plan. That bastard and his baby pet eagle.
 
−

Perhaps I will have a word with him about this...

===8th Granite===

Blast! The damned administration. They've move all us metalworkers down to quarters in the depths of the caverns. They've torn down our old workplaces at the surface and are expanding to put us down by the magma full-time!

The weaver and fish cleaner reside across the hall and it smells.

Ah, Eridani that cheeky bastard. I can see he took my advice about the cat problem to heart. He's placed the butchery across from the furnaces and wants ME to get rid of the cats. Now I can smell like animals along with dead fish and cave spiders.

He's probably laughing his ass off and buggering that chained-up eagle right now.

Newfolk have arrived. 27 total, 4 children! We now have 88 in all. I doubt we can take any more.

So Dîshmab Momuzavuz comes up to me at the table and starts bragging about killing kobolds, thinking he's being all slick and flirty. Tells two came in a pair and how he rushed out and took them both out. Funny story... everyone else says they got away :/

That thresher Zon Cerolmatul is a pushy bastard. Came down the stairs and pushed me off the magma forge, mumbling something about having to make some Fashuk thing. The sod's not even a decent smith.

So we got a bit more variety in booze plus a couple weapons from the humans in exchange for some gnomeblight and mugs.

Perhaps I'm being overly dramatic. It seems that this beastly minotaur has roamed the planet for hundreds of years instilling terror and death upon countless ancient civilizations to be foiled by a wooden cage. Oh, how these finely-crafted wooden bars vex his mind!

'''Legends Background: ''' Nashra Nemanri Kashi Kateng, otherwise known as "Nashra Righteousboot the Subtlety of Skinning" was a minotaur.  He originally settled in Veildshadow the Stances of Evaporation in year 1.  He killed 7 humans before his attack against Axemodest trapped him in a cage.

A lass in the fort birthed a boy during her sleep. Amazing; even such an idea gives me pain. If he had wandered off much farther before she woke he may have ended up falling down the stairs.

The entryway to shelter lies between us. Will I make it? Is this the end?
 
−
 
 
−
The blood rushes to my head, time slows down. I drop the silver bars. I dash to the entryway, the soldiers rush past me as I run down the hall. I look back. They lie in wait for the enemy to pass the corner.
 
−
 
 
−
I hear loud snapping as traps go off. Slender silhouettes appear at the far end of the hall. Our guard eagle, torn to shreds!

−
[[File:ML18.png]]
 
−

The figures fall back, their leader must be caged!
 
−
 
 
−
“For Axemodest!” The soldiers yell. The clanking of their full bronze armor suits echoes through the hall as they charge.
 
−
 
 
−
Mîstem Isakrakust recieves a blow to the leg from a lasher's scourge. He falls in pain as the vile creature bashes him in the chest! He is beaten again and again, the horror! He slips away in agony as the others fight around him.

Catten the speardwarf lands a killing blow to the chest of the goblin Atu! Warriors pile on top of eachother, body parts fly everywhere! A cowardly goblin flees as his comrades are crushed! The last goblin, maimed and mutilated, gets pushed back out the gates to be slain. The siege is lifted, but there are wounded.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Legends background''': This attack began and ended "The War of Incineration" where the goblin force "The Tick of Glows" began "The Siege of Jaws" against Axemodest.  In this siege 16 goblins attacked 91 dwarves, 6 goblins died, 2 dwarves died during the assault.  The Tick of Glows were a a civilization from The Souls-Plane of Legend, this was their one and only battle in their 200 year history.

I awoke this morning and it was as if a veil had been lifted from my eyes. Everything was somehow brighter, clearer. I can tell the difference between a goblin and a groundhog, now!
 
−
 
 
−
Not just literally, but in the figurative sense as well. I headed to the dining hall for some breakfast and realized there were 33 dwarves just sitting there, socializing. 33! What are we, Elves? We are creatures fond of industry and alcohol, not gossip and sloth!

My first order of business has been to immediately assign everyone with any skills to perform those skills if needed. This dropped the idlers to 24 straight off. I'm also ordering the miners to dig out some farms, I'm tired of plump helms.

I've set my furnace operators to making bronze bars, so we don't have to rely on imports for decent weapons and armor. The carpenters came to me complaining that we had no wood for cages. I took the task away from them and gave it to the blacksmiths, who weren't doing anything anyway. Soon we shall have plenty of brass cages.
 
−
 
 
−
Idlers are down to 16.
 
−
 
 
−
===11th Granite===
 
−
 
 
−
I've begun improving our defenses, so we don't have to merely huddle underground. I'm planning a single wall for now, and am smoothing out the slopes near the entrance. When this is complete, we'll be able to fight invaders on our terms.
 
−
 
 
−
In addition, I've ordered some of the more useful refuse (bones for the most part) to be brought in, so that the bonecrafters and butchers will have materials to work with.
 
−
 
 
−
There are merely 3 idlers now. I will address them shortly.

Our underground wall is nearly complete. With this area secure, I'm now able to order some woodcutters to cut us some sorely-needed lumber. More beds are always needed.

We've made a hospital near the entrance, so that we don't lose any more dwarves due to lack of treatment. The miners diverted the river so that water could be fetched and fish could be caught without the risk of going outside.
 
−
 
 
−
I also ordered a second barracks to be built and transferred the Infamous Daggers up there. It's always a good idea to have a squad on hand in case of emergencies. This was apparently welcome news, for immediately after, a child threw a party and Dastot Tindoctorines, our record keeper, entered a fey mood. Perhaps he will construct an armor stand or weapon rack for the new barracks.

Dastot Tindoctorines completed his mysterious construction today. It's a pair of gold boots studded with gold. They're beautiful, but couldn't he have used a little more... imagination? I've told our militia commander, Urvad, he could wear them.

While he was outside for reasons unknown, the cook Ast was ambushed by goblin lashers led by a hammerer. He was promptly slain. Both squads were ordered to repeal the ambush, but this seemed unnecessary. The first dwarf to arrive, a speardwarf named Reg Oilbasement, slew their leader in single combat, casing the rest of them to flee.

−
While we mourn the loss of Ast, truly this is a day of celebration! Dwarf blood always tells.

It seems that the ambush yesterday was merely a scouting force. While chasing off a pair of goblin thieves, a speardwarf, Catten and his rookie recruit, Udib were ambushed by a group of goblin macemen. They both were struck down, but not before killing enough of the goblins to convince them to leave the area. The rest of the squad found a wounded goblin next to Catten's body. What happened to that goblin will haunt me for a long time...

The miner Tosid was changing one of our traps while caring for her baby Nish when they were beset upon by a tigerman. Tosid killed the tigerman, but Nish was wounded. It is still not known if he will live. If Nish perishes, the whole race of tigermen will not be long behind, I swear it.

In between chasing off thieves and slaughtering tigerman, I finally had a chance to deal with the elven traders. As always, I traded for as many barrels and booze as possible. I also got some supplies for the hospital and as many seeds as they were willing to part with. Someday, we may want to make an above-ground farm. I also bought a pair of male giant jaguars to guard the front door.

Ahh, Spring, where a young dwarf's fancy turns to BABIES. There must be something in the water, because we've had a rash of them. To accommodate them all, we've constructed a series of more... spartan rooms. I've dubbed the area the 'Nursery.'

Much has happened over the last year. The fort has a net loss of 8 dwarfs, but survived staggering odds. We met the first mandates easily; future rulers should look for more zinc quickly. Our bird lover loves nickel silver. We also struck adamantite earlier... but thus far, it has gone unused. There is blood, guts and limbs everywhere. We need more coffins. We ''always'' need more coffins in Mareathria Liceva.

Upon touring the fortress I have just arrived at, I have been both impressed and depressed. Impressive quantities of goods have been stockpiled, and with a single exception, everyone is positively beaming in this place. This is surprising considering you can barely walk outside without stepping in blood, and there are mounds of goblin parts piled all over the place. The single exception I mentioned earlier is a planter named Etur, who lost his wife and one of his children in the recent battles. A shame, but he is trying to get counciling with the mayor, so I'm sure he will be fine.

−
I have order the outside cleanup to commence full fledged. I only hope that any more ambushes hold off until we are done and can get the gate up again.
 
−
 
 
−
I also ordered a section of nearby grassland to be walled off. It encompasses two ponds. This should enable the fishers to continue working even during a siege.
 
−
 
 
−
I also ordered a cage built to hold off the ridiculous number of cats wandering our hallways. While there I noticed three unmarked levers. How useful. No one apparently has the slightest idea what they are for. There is also a lever that simply says DO NOT PULL in big letters. Of course, I want to do nothing more than pull it.

15 Granite: ordered a squad of sword-dwarves to take care of some irritating mountain goats. Also, one of our bowyers bled to death today. I am seeking to find out why the chief medical dwarf did not prevent this.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
19 Granite: Apparently our mayor was too busy for Etur. He has gone completely berserk. I fear for the safety of our other dwarves, and have therefore ordered both of our squads to kill Etur.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
20 Granite: Disaster! Etur has murdered our mayor, Zuntir Asobmabush. A dark day indeed. Apparently our peaceful planter has premeditated his berserk rage, for he is carrying a pick with him.
 
−
 
 
−
Just minutes later, an axedwarf named Id Nirsigun arrived and fell the berserk dwarf with a single swipe. Etur Otinfikod is dead, but at a terrible cost.
 
−
 
 
−
 
−
 
 
−
21 Granite: The hearts of many in the castle are heavy with the recent disaster. A miner, Cilob has taken up the post of mayor.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
8 Slate: Our stupid bird-molesting baron has already insisted upon three picks made for him this year, and now he wants two more. What does a dwarf do with five picks? Especially a lazy baron? I'm not making them for him until much later.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
10 Slate: A giant beast has arrived in one of the caverns. As if we were planning on going in there anyway... [[File:2.PNG]]
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
14 Slate: We find ourselves short of metal: I have ordered some exploratory shafts dug.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
27 Slate: The minors have discovered a beautiful vein of cassiterite. I have ordered it mined out and smelted. No sign of anything hostile, although some tigermen interrupted the wall construction today. The outside cleanup progresses smoothly.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
3 Felsite: Disaster strikes again: Remember that giant feathered elephant that arrived on 10 Slate? It has breached our defenses and is now terrorizing the smelters. Apparently, the fortress is only safe from walking beasts: flying beasts can still access it. It will take the military forever to reach it...
 
−
 
 
−
But it looks like a cat and a stray war dog are delaying it. The beast has a few bruises, but it is quickly over coming the dog...
 
−
 
 
−
[[File:3.PNG]]
 
−
 
 
−
It bashed broke the upper and lower body of our grandmaster armorer. It is now trying to kill another puppy. The puppy's mother leaps towards the beast, trying to protect her child. Still no military arrives. The brave mother is quickly killed by the forgotten beast, and her puppy soon joins her.
 
−
 
 
−
Finally! Likot Stigaztulon Olonvozbel Osresh, the Geared Ravager of Mortifying arrives! The forgotten beast is shredded in his attacks! The rest of the military charges in. Casualties: a dead war dog, a dead puppy, one broken left hand, and one bruised left hand. Not bad.

17 Felsite: We have completed the fishing area: 7. I am ordering part of cleared in preparation for a large statue I am building.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
19 Felsite: The elves arrived today. I ordered the military out by the golden gate to watch for goblins. From the goblin corpses I see rotting all round me, it wouldn't surprise me if the elves weren't our only visitors...
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
21 Felsite: The elven leader starting whining about how many trees we were cutting down. I pretended that we would cooperate. Haha like we care what they have to say.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
25 Felsite: While trading today, I came across a mug that the elves were willing to pay over 6000 for! I was blown away! It is a nice mug though!
 
−
[[File:8.PNG]]
 
−
 
 
−
I rounded up the lot of stuff we offered. Unfortunately, this included a wooden bracelet. The elves got all huffy and left. So I have ordered the military to kill them all.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
3rd Hematite: The military finished off the five horses quickly. That will teach them to get all huffy at us. Among the spoils are a giant leopard and a giant jaguar!
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
5th Hematite: Among the other useful elven trade goods, we also inherited a huge amount of useless wooden armor and weapons. I am building a bridge to pulverize all this with.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
16th Hematite: I have begun work on two giant projects: a giant zoo, and a giant statue. We will see what our dwarves can get done this year!
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
24 Hematite: Doren Debbenushat, a bowyer, got all sulky and withdrew from the society. He then proceeded to take over a bowyer's workshop and start working furiously.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
30 Hematite: Doren created Akimnum, a kapok blowgun. Too bad no one here can use it.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
20 Malachite: All quiet. Dwarves are hard at work.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
12 Galena: Humans arrived today. We have switched to high alert. Although we had one caravan arrive without goblin "escort", I doubt we will be so lucky again.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
12 Galena: CURSES! I forgot to rebuilt the trade depot after ripping it up in our last trading in encounter with the elves. I have several masons ordered to rebuild it at utmost speed.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
17 Galena: Ugh not another one.
 
−
 
 
−
[[File:9.PNG]]
 
−
 
 
−
Also our masons have already completed the new depot. I had to put it in a barracks, since that was the only open room available.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
21 Galena: Bought almost the entire caravan for that one mug I mentioned earlier. All in all, not a bad deal.
 
−
 
 
−
[[File:10.PNG]]
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
1 Limestone: Half a year over with! We find ourselves in need of more smelting and obsidian, and I have therefore ordered the expansion of the magma reservoir.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
15 Limestone: The humans left today, and still no goblins in site...
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
24 Limestone: Erith Ides has withdrawn from society now! He took over a metalsmith's forge. I'm actually quite excited to see what he will make.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
7 Sandstone: Erith finally began whatever it is he is making...
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
8 Sandstone: Another forgotten beast. This time a giant winged creature of salt. It is a race against time to see if we can wall it off before it reaches us.
 
−
 
 
−
[[File:12.PNG]]
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
12 Sandstone: Erith made a tin animal trap. Oh well. At least the wall was created before that forgotten beast reached us. We are now safe from flying megabeasts as well.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
17 Sandstone: Two miners and a dog trapped themselves on a ledge on the statue I am making. I don't think they are too concerned: one is taking a nap.
 
−
 
 
−
[[File:13.PNG]]
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
18 Sandstone: The dog jumped off the ledge that it was trapped on, broke a rib, and suffocated.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
22 Sandstone: The new magma reservoir was opened today.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
26 Sandstone: Apparently, I spoke too soon! Kul, the salt megabeast, found some new way of flying past our defenses and into our magma area. We had no idea until we heard the sounds of a dog being killed. The millitary is being sent in.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
27 Sandstone: The military quickly killed the forgotten beast. All that is left is a pile of salt.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
8 Timber: The work on the zoo is being slowed by a lack of mechanisms.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
16 Timber: The dwarves have come to tray! Pray that no goblins come with them!
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
22 Timber: Bought a lot of booze and food from the dwarves, along with some much needed wood.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
6 Opal: All that is left on the statue is to do is remove the scaffolding. I have, in the mean time, switched all the masons over to smoothing out the zoo.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
14 Opal: Behold! A glorious statue! A beacon! A symbol of dwarven intelligence!
 
−
 
 
−
[[File:26.PNG]]
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
22 Opal: A cat succumbed to infection today. I did not even know it was sick, but I cannot say I will miss it.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
23 Opal: With the statue complete, all attention now turns to the zoo, which is currently a flurry of activity.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
15 Obsidian: My brainless fellow dwarves are getting spooked by the ettin and the minotaur in our zoo. I am going to lock the doors so they stop getting upset.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
16 Obsidian: CURSES! Goblins! A whole year without seeing them, and now a squad of spear goblins has appeared. I am tempted to pull up the gate and wait it out, but my military is bored of doing nothing but crushing forgotten beasts. It was a kitten that alerted us, by the way.
 
−
 
 
−
[[File:16.PNG|It is somewhat hard to see the soldiers and kitten on this, so I highlighted them a bit.]]
 
−
 
 
−
18 Obsidian: Outnumbered 2 to 1, our valiant fighters hurled themselves at the evil goblins, who were too busy trying to torture the poor kitten to even notice our heavily armed dwarves bearing down on them. It was over in seconds.
 
−
 
 
−
[[File:18.PNG]]
 
−
 
 
−
But wait? More goblins! Another squad! Not good. Another six goblins charged into the fray. Thus far, our military had suffered only a single broken hand. But only one dwarf showed up to reinforce...
 
−
 
 
−
[[File:19.PNG]]
 
−
 
 
−
Fortunately, our heavily armored axedwarves were not match for even this second group. These too were quickly dispatched. Even more reinforcements arrived: Likot and Unib. Unib is injured, so he is excused. I fear Likot was just being very lazy.
 
−
 
 
−
[[File:20.PNG]]
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
23 Obisidian: This is very frustrating. The dwarves refuse to remove the stone keeping the door to the minotaur room open, since they are afraid to go near the minotuar. I am blocking off that section of the hallway for now.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
26 Obsidian: A kidnapper has stolen one of our children! He must have spotted a child somewhere on the outskirts.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
1 Granite: That's a wrap. This year we had a net loss of 4 dwarves and a net gain of almost 300,000 wealth. We received no immigrants. One dwarf is unhappy, the others are content or above. All categories of food stores increased, with the total increasing by almost 2000. We had a net gain of 43 animals. Our two big successes was the completion of the statue and the beginnings of the zoo.

Technical: FPS hovers around 80 mostly, on my rather slow system, so that is quite good. Atom smashing some of the elven trash might help more, as might using traffic designations. I updated the game to version 31.12.
 
−
 
 
−
Notes on the Reddit statue: I chose the color based on what would show best on Stonesense. I also ran out of room on the top: apparently you can't build on the top layer, so the antenna isn't as nice as it could have been.
 
−
 
 
−
For the next person: The only big problem is the fact that the ettin and minotaur are scaring people away. The door really should be closed, but a rock is holding it open and anytime a dwarf goes to remove the rock, they get scared away. It might be necessary to re-capture the minotaur and ettin, and then fix room, and then re-release them. All of levers in the rooms of the zoo have been linked to the cages, or the jobs have at least be designated. Things to do with the zoo are to finish smoothing it and then making it super safe with all sorts of failsafe damage controls etc etc. Whatever you like essentially! It might also be a good idea to work on getting some steel armor and weapons, and to expand the military. Oh and I forgot to move the trade depot out of the barracks, so you might want to do that. ;-) I haven't used any of the adamantine yet either, but that would make some great armor...

Technical Note: My Predecessor used a tileset, I do not so some of the tiles have turned a little weird.

I arrive to this hole in a valley, greeted by the most bizarre statue. The first thing I noticed though was the smell; there was body parts from countless race's scattered everywhere. Some poor soul had obviously tried to move some of it together into a pile but it had made little difference.

I then made my way into the fortress and was forced to squeeze past a seemingly infinite amount of cats and dogs, it's like someone was deliberately trying to initiate a catsplosion! I hunted for the butchers to ask them to "solve" the problem but the fortress is so higgledy piggledy and spread out I couldn't locate it. I considered building more, but upon investigation it appeared we didn't have any butchers anyway. I did find a magma pit and so decided to use my initiative. And so for the first month of my being here everyone was tasked with disposing of unnecessary animals which includes cats, dogs, horses, mules etc. I left the nice stuff be.

I sealed off the minotaur and Etin with some more doors which has kind of messed up the flow of the zoo, but such is life.

I have begun stockpiling raw fun to produce some kickass armour and weapons.

I had a strange mood and was well excited, "Tobul Oslanzokum has claimed a craft workshop" nevermind I thought craft mood is better than nothing. Then after some furious work he produced: Rilemlunrud, "The Youthful Diminishment", a garnierite mug.

I noticed at this point when the dwarrow started to idle after the majority of animals had been dispatched that practically all the workshops were overflowing, there are nowhere near enough stockpiles or barrels it would seem. The one miner I had took forever to dig anything and produced far too much stone for me to process as for some reason despite no real activity going on in the fort everyone was perpetually busy doing Armok knows what. I decided to make use of an area of caverns that appears to have been walled safe then sealed off. I demanded them re-opened and all excess furniture to be shoved in them. I discovered why the cavern had been sealed off fairly quickly when a forgotten beast lurking in the waters emerged and proceeded to kill an Axe Lord before being struck down when the rest of the military arrived.

I have decided now all the animals are gone there are also too many children stickying up the place so I build a sacrificial bridge over the magma pool and used it to dispose of most of the children and later any parent who couldn't get a grip.

The elves arrived and demanded that the trees be left be. I haven't touched the trees since I got here so my predecessor must have had something to do with it. I agreed to leave the trees be.

I was laid siege to by the goblins. I ordered that the main bridge be closed but due to the dwarves own incompetence the response time was so slow that the enemy was well inside the fort by this point. The military fort valiantly but were quickly slaughtered. The enemy are deep inside the fortress now and FPS has dropped so low I have decided to declare a combined FPS death and death by siege. I haven't completed my year but I don't think I can
