Notes[edit]

207, Early Spring. Invaders repelled.

12th Granite, 207, Early Spring. The elves arrive to trade.

13th Granite, 207, Early Spring. Kegetherith, a Farm Worker (bone carver) was ferrying items left outside during the last invasion when he spotted a goblin thief. Not one to let such things go, Kegetherith chased said thief down. Right into an ambush. Needless to say, he was torn to pieces.

16th Granite, 207, Early Spring. If you have ever wondered if a dwarf or elf can run faster, the answer is the dwarf. Sigunothos, caught outside, managed to lead his pursuers into the elven caravan. There were no elf survivors. Another goblin thief was stunned by the stone fall traps near our main stairwell, and was killed by a fortress guard.

19th Granite, 207, Early Spring. Yet another goblin thief. This one was foolish enough to try and ambush our captain of the guard.

21st Granite, 207, Early Spring. Two more snatchers! One was torn asunder by the dwarves who uncovered it, the other we let escape.

8th Slate, 207, Mid-Spring. 10 migrants arrive.

25th Felsite, 207, Late Spring. Sigunothos, our cloth crafter, has gone insane. His mad quest for silk cloth is finally at an end.

9th Hematite, 207, Early Summer. The Hammerer executed tehmarken, our Legendary Mason, for our failure to make coins. I didn't even know the Baroness Consort wanted coins.

11th Hematite, 207, Early Summer. Human Merchants arrive.

12th Hematite, 207, Early Summer. Goblins have come to lay ruin to our land.

17th Hematite, 207, Early Summer. Despite his comotose state, Andrew Ryan is re-elected as Mayor.

26th Hematite, 207, Early Summer. I was unable to fill the request of making three lay pewter items in time... and have been sentenced to one hammer strike. The wound is superficial, I shake it off immediately.

6th Malachite, 207, Mid-Summer. The siege is broken. Our marksdwarves performed brilliantly, raining doom down upon the goblin ranks we lured close by raising and lowering the drawbridge.

20th Malachite, 207, Mid-Summer. One of our Legendary Miners, Nilemal, took to a Mason's workshop with and started stuffing it with odds and ends. The result was a gabbro bed, that while not particularly comfy sounding, is quite the masterpiece (55200).

4th Galena, 207, Late Summer. Sigunothos has finally died, his sorrow consuming him.

13th Limestone, 207, Early Autumn. The dwarven caravan arrives.

14th Limestone, 207, Early Autumn. ...a human diplomat has arrived. That's odd, I traded with the humans an entire season ago.

16th Limestone, 207, Early Autumn. A snatcher arrives in time to be wrestled to death. Foolish thing.

Addendum: I should have known such a cowardly creature would not come along. The goblins have ambushed, aiming for the human diplomat! He took a bolt in the leg/hip, but seems to be heading for our town. I have dispatched our army to intercept the ambush.

17th Limestone, 207, Early Autumn. Bomrekazin, a Hauler, was shot and killed. Olonthidas, a dwarf dedicated to Construction, was shot and killed shortly thereafter.

18th Limestone, 207, Early Autumn. Oceanside's army arrives on scene and destroys the invaders without suffering a single casualty.

19th Limestone, 207, Early Autumn. Another ambush. A single marksdwarf, Gakizadil, drove them off. He took a light wound to the arm in defense of his home.

5th Sandstone, 207, Mid-Autumn. A small number of rhesus macaques showed up, so I unleashed the military on them. We'll show those monkies.

9th Timber, 207, Late Autumn. Despite the danger, 9 migrants have arrived.

1st Moonstone, 207, Early Winter. Andrew Ryan has fully recovered!

11th Moonstone, 207, Early Winter. An ambush! The Legendary Stone Crafter Lorbamrubal has been caught outside, by a small goblin party. A nearby wardog gave its life charging into the fray. Nearby, Ryan tore into a goblin snatcher. Though another dog was lost before our army could arrive, the remaining goblins were quickly torn apart by our Champions.

17th Moonstone, 207, Early Winter. First the goblins, now the kobolds? They sprung from hiding near the main entrance. They struck down a peasant before the military could react, but he was the only casualty.

1st Obsidian, 207, Late Winter. I take special pleasure in sending the military out against monkies.

1st Granite, 208, Early Spring. Tenure up! Let's see how I did.

Key Achievements[edit]

  • Resurrected the military. Eight sworddwarves and two speardwarves complement the five marksdwarves.
  • I almost finished the Bridge to Nowhere. Five more links should do it.
  • I succeeded in partially draining the ocean. I didn't try it out for too long, but I'm fairly confident that it can be used to start damming up the far side of the inlet. Side effects include dry mouth and poor framerate.
  • I started expanding the residences with some low-income housing. This should be supplemented with poor quality furniture.
  • I made a gym and four shops.
