Those marmots. I just know they're going to be a problem for us. As the ponds dry up, we'll have to use the river for fishing and regular water.

Problem is, the river runs through holy and unholy land alike, and I can't trust these guys to NOT go to the dangerous lands. So how do you make sure a dwarf can get a drink from a river safely?

You bring the river to the dwarf.

5th Hematite, 56

We're finally starting on the housing floor, and we hit some Microline. Pretty, blue, but worthless. Next stop: Decent housing, a dining room, a barracks, and great quarters for myself!

10th Hematite, 56

I've been told that two of the dwarves are going by nicknames and oh sweet Armok the marmots have friends.

Note to self, make sure Project Safe Drinking Water has walls. And a roof.

24th Hematite, 56

We've begun digging towards the river, but the other miners are nervous. I fill them in on the rest of my plan, and they agree that it is a marvel of dwarvish engineering.

10th Malachite, 56

Finally! The rooms for the others have been bored out and now my quarters are being dug out. Truly, it will be nice not having to sleep on a cold cave floor.

14th Malachite, 56

Phase two of the project is starting. We're going to make sure that there's plenty of walls. Well-built walls. We don't want anything shooting at us or getting in if we don't want it to. I can hear the goats laughing with zombified lungs. They can't touch the grass, right? They can't swim, right?

21st Malachite, 56

Sadly nobody has heard of us, and as such, nobody made the journey to us. Perfectly understandable, we're a fairly new settlement.

Still. We could use more fresh blood.

26th Malachite, 56

OH DEAR ARMOK THEY CAN GET AT US GET THAT WALL UP GO GO GO!!!

1st Galena, 56

We did it! We built ourselves a little indoors reservoir! The topside is walled off from the outside world, so the blasted undead can't get in! I dug the last bit myself, diverting part of the river to the chamber we made earlier! Later, we'll build a well there, but for now, it's good for regular water and fishing, should a fisherdwarf show up. We plan to build a roof so the water doesn't evaporate.

...And so the zombies can't learn to jump in and threaten us.

1st Limestone, 56

Nothing of note, really. My quarters are done, we've a supply of water, and a decent place to eat at. We're going to build a storeroom next, so that Wigmund doesn't complain of having to go all the way outside for his wood. After that, I've got plans...

-----

We're comin' along nicely. Should I just play all the way through now or do you lot prefer the staggered updates like this?
