16th of Hematite, 57
Our poor moody jeweler just went berzerk...where's Hawk at?
Oh gods, Olon the madman is murdering a kitten! Where's the guards when you need them! That's someone's pet!
Addendum: Poor Olon has been stopped by Melfice, the madman's now scattered over two level in multiple pieces.
17th of Hematite, 57
We have discovered gem deposits in the new excavation areas. Not that it'll do Olon any good now.
The miners say it is a pocket of tsavorite, apparently it's pretty valuable.
And Shyria has finished training the wolves captured earlier. So we now have seven guard dogs.
20th of Hematite, 57
The Grand Pit was collapsed today. This is how you mine.
Two dwarfs were knocked unconscious from the sheer spectacle of unbridled power.
Orders have been made for a pair of gneiss drawbridges.
25th of Hematite, 57
Have closed off the old entrance and moved the trade depot to the other side of the Grand Pit until the temporary workshops are moved underground.
I have sent Hawk out on patrol to try and wipe out some of the undead milling along trenches. He's proven quite adept at cleaving skeletal marmots in twain.
27th of Hematite, 57
Sphalerite was discovered today. The metalsmiths say that once we get the forges going, we can use this and the tetrahedrite to manufacture brass.
4th of Malachite, 57
Have started moving citizens into the new apartments, stockpiles have been removed from the old site and as I write this a mass construction project to make beds and other necessities has begun.
Management of Workgill has been tougher than expected. I'm constantly having to sign work orders.
4th of Galena, 57
I have had a new suite of rooms constructed for myself. Also, I had some built for Thadius as well.
Though he did make a demand that he have a tomb constructed next to his office. At this point, I've learned to stop asking questions.
13th of Galena, 57
With the worst of the mining completed at the fort, I've sent the miners out to do some exploratory pit digging to see if we can discover anything in the countryside.
15th of Galena, 57
OH GODS WHAT HAVE I UNLOCKED!?
17th of Galena, 57
The pit has been sealed.
I can still hear the screaming in the night...I can't comprehend what...what those unholy abominations were doing to all those people down there...The walls...the floors...blood...unholy insane imagery everywhere
18th of Galena, 57
The miners must continue their searches of the countryside. There must be more out there. There was adamantine discovered near the pit. Maybe we can find a way to get at it without rousing the things.
19th of Galena, 57
The discovery of an underground chasm filled with undead flying things has been noted.
1st of Limestone, 57
Autumn has arrived. My time as the leader of Workgill is nearly complete, but I have been changed by what I saw.
The fort is coming along nicely, I am about ready to plan out the workshop areas that the next leader will hopefully excavate. And I plan to have the trade goods storage area excavated and the storage bays designated.
Also, the miners have discovered a magma pipe that's almost underneath our fort. It won't take long to channel the blood of Armok so that we may power our forges.
Pity it's full of undead.
2nd of Limestone, 57
We have also discovered an underground river...filled with undead.
Hopefully this is all Autumn has in store for us...
