Expeditioner's Log, 1st Granite, 201
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.

Expeditioner's Log, 2nd Felsite, 201
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

This way, in the event of a seige, we simply raise the outer bridge, the inner area is inside, so it will be safe. In the event of an eruption, we simply raise the inner bridge, which allows us to prevent the majority of the fort from being destroyed. After the outer walls are completed (they will be 3 levels high), that should protect us nicely from any ill that comes our way.

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.
