[Spring]
1st Granite
Okay, now where were we...
The perimeter wall to keep siegeing goblins in is complete, now we just need to add in the floodgates to keep them in when they come. The new metalworking area is set up, and our smelters are working on melting down excess metal from goblin armor. The roads to guide travelers have been started, new rooms for offices dug out, the jail cells are simply waiting for chains, and we seem to have a small supply of caged goblins. I'm getting more ideas...

Peasant Likast Enterpaged came across a kobold today. In the name of the fortress, Likast broke every bone in the kobold's body while loosing an eye..

Something seems odd outside the Southeastern wall. I can't see anything, but I think I'll try to keep the military for partying.
We've been ambushed! By elves! They certainly do a better job at bringing more forces with them than the goblins are. They're also right at the only open door right now, so anyone outside the wall may be screwed at the moment...
Another ambush! Suddenly an army of horses sprang up from beneath the elves! Wait, what?
Uh... right. Poor Melbil Armorhairs. I fear that he may not quite live up to his name...
[I think I lost this image]
And a... third ambush. Some more elves just popped up underneath the horses...
And a fourth? Some more horses underneath the elves underneath the other horses underneath the other elves... Can someone tell me what in Armok is going on?
Melbil somehow escaped from being surrounded. It seems that the elves have no freaking clue how to use their bows?
16th Granite
Another ambush of horses?
A sixth ambush? Some elves popped up from beneath the horses? I'm insane. I'm insane, right? This is all a hallucination. It's got to be.
And we have a theif now?
17th Granite
The elven/horse army appears to be wandering aimlessly...
20th Granite
As quick as it started, it was over. The elves did a great job at filling the ground in front of them with arrows and the horses just kind of wandered around after the elves above/beneath them were killed off, so we made it through mostly unscathed. Where did I miss the part that we were apparantly at war with the looney bin?
22nd Granite
Oh, for crying out loud!
Great.
IT'S NOT OVER YET, GUYS!
BLARGHBAGARFGABARVVV!
24th Granite
We weren't as lucky this time. There were over 40 of them, elves and horses combined. Elite wrestler Meng took an arrow to the face, and his dieing moments were spent chasing down the elf that shot him and punching his face in.
2nd Slate
Still dealing with the aftermath. All these elf corpses all over the place... kindofa mess. Shorast Echomachine is acting a bit weird, though. He's taken over a craftsdwarf workshop.
6th Slate
He's started doing something...

There has been a sudden challenge to my authority. Also, we reeealy need more rooms now. The population is up to 119 now.

The tax collector wants three bucklers. Are those the currency, now?
5th Felsite
Logem Fireyrope is hunting. I think he's doing a great job at it.
20th Felsite
We had an accident, somehow. Udib, woodcutter, and Logem, Herbalist both fell 16 floors to their deaths. We are currently waiting for their heads and limbs to come back down.
Do floors no longer stick next to fortifications, now?
22nd Felsite
I guess not? I have no idea why this isn't working. Zuntir, a planter, was crushed under the falling floor this time. I'll try sticking a wall underneath where I'm trying to put a floor.
23rd Felsite
Dobar, our legendary weaver died after somehow getting sucked down the hole he made. He made the hole yesterday, but he didn't finish falling until today.
What a mess. This is going to be a pain to clean up. Is the janitor guy still alive?
23rd Felsite
Rovod Adaserith, leatherworker met his demise after the wall he was constructing somehow lost cohesion with the neighboring walls and collapsed, causing him to fall about 33 floors.
