A tragedy occurred today. After his squad received heavy losses during a goblin siege, Marksdwarf Amost Melbilelis Arbostlorbam went insane and began firing on his fellow dwarves on the storage level. Thankfully the rest of the military was still nearby and they were able to subdue him after a brief but furious struggle.
 
Civilian casualties were minimal; only one dwarf was killed and two injured. One, a child, received light injuries and one of our miners received an arrow in the leg. We expect they will recover quickly.
 
It is with great sorrow that we mourn the passing of our fellow Amost Melbilelis Arbostlorbam. He was a good dwarf who worked diligently to protect our home, and he will be buried with honour.

Only a few days have passed since Amost's death and the repercussions are still being felt. His squadmates have been suffering the most.
 
 
 
Since his death, Urist Kodgidthur threw a tantrum and was stuck down and Mosus Lunineth has simply gone insane and now wanders the fortress, babbling madly. This leaves Urdim Tekkud as the sole remaining member of The Arches of Carnage. One can only wonder how long it will be until she too succumbs to madness.
 
 
 
I have moved her into one of the other squads, The Geared Rifts, in the hope that she can recover through her grief with the support of her fellows, but at the moment her chances seem bleak.

The Countess just gave birth to another girl. What is this, her eighth child? I swear, that woman has nothing better to do with her time.

I was wrong, she has *ten*. And a cat, the vile creatures.
 
The cats, I mean.

When I first heard one of our dwarves had been taken by a strange mood, I was worried. But, thank Osram, is wasn't another thrice-damned possession! I swear, this places is haunted. Turns out it was just a leatherworker, but all told I'm not complaining as long as he's not possessed. He quickly took over a workshop and immediately sprang to work.
 
 
 
And... I just received news that Urist Kodgidthur, the last remaining marksdwarf, went stark raving mad. Poor lass. I only hope she doesn't suffer long.

While I shouldn't have expected more, I almost feel like this is some sort of elaborate prank call. I'll give *you* shat... Nevertheless, I checked it out.

Huh. It has us on it, back from when we just started this little place. Heh, that brings back memories. Okay, so maybe it's not *all* bad...

One of our legendary champions, responsible for the death of no less than forty two goblins, was shot and killed. What she was doing out there alone in the first place is anyone's guess, but damn, I wish I'd had time to build a tomb to honour her.
 
 
 
Godamnit! Now some of my champions have mysteriously broken ranks and charged the enemy, heedless of my orders!
 
 
 
[[Image:3againstananrmy.PNG]]
 
 
 
Amazingly, one of them managed to survive their headlong rush into doom. Bellowing savage war cries, their fellows emerged from the depths to do battle with the beasts that had slain their comrades, again against my orders. Somehow, amazingly, they managed to break the back of the army however, and drive the enemy survivors back in a rout.

Though they did so foolishly, they will be commended for their actions. Those that have fallen will be buried with honour, but it grieves me to know that those that fell today will not receive the entombment they deserve. I will make it my highest priority to make sure future soldiers will be able to be buried in a more fitting manner.
 
 
 
==5th Galena, 214 (Late Summer)==
 
 
 
Urdim Tekkud died of thirst today.
 
 
 
Our military lies in shambles. recruiting will begin immediately, drafting dwarves from non-essential positions of the fortress, starting with the most able-bodied. Work on tombs for our most noble of dwarves, the military who give their lives to protect us, is progressing well. I discovered today that the tomb I had created some time ago for one of our grandest of champions had been filled with her body, presumably soon after the siege. Also present, in the small casket to one side for that purpose was the body of her lover, a member of the fortress guard who-I hope-died fighting alongside her.
 
 
 
I'd hoped to take a picture of the lavish tomb I'd created for her, but someone's scattered clothing all through it. I'll have the offending items dumped, then get an image.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Also I recently discovered that, uh, one of our engravers died from thirst, which was actually my fault. >.> He'd taken to recuperate from a wound in a bed I was using for some masons to sleep in when I locked them in to make native gold blocks, and may have forgotten about him when the siege started. I'm hoping it won't cause too many problems... <.<
 
 
 
==16th Sandstone, 214 (Mid-Autumn)==
 
Well, the caravans have been and gone. It was another decent trading year with the Mountainhomes.
 
 
 
Good news again, however! The military are progressing well. I started them out on wrestling, and I am now slowly training them up in other weapon disciplines. In addition to which, Lor Imkethathel, one of our metalsmiths was taken by a mood and made a artifact mini-forge. It has a couple of pictures of a dwarf called "Datan Crystalassaults", which I've seen on a few artifacts now. I don't know who the fellow is, either. Haven't been able to figure it out.

Future plans[edit]

What happens when you build a tomb, then take the roof off[edit]

Tombs can't be built outdoors. What happens if you take the roof off an already constructed tomb?

Different methods of building under magma[edit]

In the Complete and Utter Newby Tutorial for Dwarf Fortress, I ended up trying to flood the place when I was finished, and as the water started covering the magma it, obviously, began turning into obsidian. However occasionally water would flow diagonally and create a wall/block of obsidian not properly connected which would collapse into the magma pipe. However, after a few times of this happening they began to *stack*. It got me thinking: would it be possible to drip water into a pipe in a controlled fashion to create naturally forming walls of Obsidian at the bottom of a magma pipe? If so, you could slowly build a closed section of obsidian walls to the surface, then build a pump over the top and pump all of the magma out from the middle? Safer than creating a ring of pumps, surely...

Different methods of building underwater[edit]

Like magma, but in reverse. Harder to achieve, but it could be useful, surely. Also to consider: dropping walls into rivers, see if they remain standing. Does water slow the descent of objects, so they won't crash into rubble when they reach the bottom of the river/ocean? What about natural rock walls?
