Summary
Expeditioner's Logs
1 Granite
Started scouting around for a dig site, there is a large river snaking through this area, I've heard stories of underground volcanoes and rivers. I hope they're not just fables.
We appear to be in a ravine, I think we'll need to climb to a higher location.
I sited a location for the new fortress, started draining a couple pools that were in the way. We are a little close to the mouth of the volcano, we will need to set up appropriate defenses quickly.
14 Slate
The digging is going well, the pools are almost drained. I hope to have workshops and furnaces going in in short order.
2 Felsite
I am planning a two-wall system for Endokodshith, It's designed to prevent any extended destruction from possible volcano eruptions -- at least until I get the main outer walls built. The plan is something like this:
Not to scale.
# : a rock wall
|, - : built walls.
. : empty space
b : a bridge, raises if direction is given
...main fort...
_ : ground 1 z-level lower

The furnaces are being dug out, Stinthadning was hurt in a cave in, and Tathurkbuk is pissed about the same. Hopefully will finish the crafting area by the end of summer, planning to tap the underground river I stumbled upon soon, for now, the overground river will do fine.
23 Malachite
There was a cave in, Zulbanakur broke his head, and was severely wounded in several of his extremities. I do not think that he will survive. I hope I'm wrong about this.
14 Galena
Finally finished offloading the wagon, with two miner's down, the digging of... everything... is going slow. Hopefully the apartments will get dug out soon, and I'll be able to assign quarters...
Supplemental
Just finished the quarter's, starting to build the apartments proper and soon (hopefully) will be quartering the dwarves.
19th Galena
Stinthadning's Left Arm is healed up nicely, he still has a broken hip and femur, I suspect he'll be back on his feet in a few more months.
2 Limestone
Zulbanakur's head has healed, it was a medical miracle. I expected he would have contracted encephalitis or something, but thankfully he did not. Stinthadning is still on bedrest, but hopefully he will be better soon.
11 Sandstone
Some mountain gnomes made the mistake of trying to poke around our fortress, they met our woodcutter's blade, it was glorious. Some trader's from the mountainhomes came, I had nothing available to trade, but they said that Endokodshith is a fine fortress and that they imagine migrants will flock to us after they hear about our home. I hope so- our workforce is far too small right now, I hope to have 100 dwarves by the end of the year 203, but perhaps this is just a pipe dream.
Supplemental
Another small section of the overhang collapse. Two of the dwarves misunderstood my orders, cut out a support before it was suppose to be cut, thankfully no one was hurt by their gross incompetence.
3 Timber
The apartments have started being built, I've ordered construction of a still, and the farmer has been taken off mining duty to concentrate on his food related work. The dwarves, upon hearing my ordering of the construction of said still, threw a small party in the dining room. Apparently all one needs to inspire rejoicing amongst the dwarves is the announcement of a booze-source.
Besides that, I've started the planning for the construction of a small power plant and cistern system. Hopefully we'll be able to build a well in short order, except that we need first to acquire a mechanic to construct the system...
Also- the furnaces have been put on hold for the short-term, the removal of the overhang is higher priority for the time being.
Finally, I've ordered the construction of a butcher/tanner/leatherworking center, I've got too many animals, some of them will be added to the food stocks...
1 Moonstone
Winter has started, I can taste the chill in the air.

It is with great sadness that I must report, the woodworker, Ingizenseb, was crushed in a collapse due to yet another miscommunication with the dwarves working on the overhang.
