Chronicles

Year 201
Winter
Arrived the day before winter stared. Constructed aquifer works but hit damp stone when bulding the 3x4 downstair block. Its a light aquifer to tried peircing without all the labor. Upper fort outer walls done, got the main bridge linked but used too much gabbro in construction so no mechanisms for other gates.

Year 202
Spring
A flock of albatross corpses attack, all our defenses are useless and the enter the under fort before we can react. Luckily they are easily dispatched by hand. Roofing the fort over before continuing. Lost the mason Reached rock witohut having to use screw pumps. Started digging fiorst rock layer.
Summer
Completed level 1. Expanded the surface works. Plantworks running. Second level dug. Stoneworks running. Lost a miner do to surface collapse to remove a tree that wouldnt go away
Autumn

Winter
Another albatross attack. We have some weapons now so easily destroyed them. A giant migrant wave, 25 dwarves.
Year 203
Spring
Enclosed the pasture so yaks wont run from albatrosses. Established a second squad, but no weapons.
Summer
9 more migrants. We struck tetrahedrite. Trapper created Agash Egnom an olive wood earing. compelted metalworks
Autumn
9 more migrants. A Thrall makes and lime wood ring, Nulrallakal Arfazis. Started rebuilding inner walls with baslalt We had a suspicious death earlier, but now the doctor has been found drained of blood. A Demon of Apap flies overhead. And a werebuffalo at the same time shows up. 3 threats all at once. The demon is killed and the werebufflo is locked out. I think the vampire is the guy just elected mayer, he has a dozen dwarf kills. Lots of kids are being born.
Winter
One of the Food guild got werebuffalo infection and is now running berserk. He was killed but there are many otential casualties.

Totlly screwed. A craftworker is infected and didnt get the isolation chambers built in time. He is on the lower levels and no way to seal everyone off. Down to 15 dwarves before he is killed. I think the last bitten dwarf bled todeath so no one else is infected.
Year 204
Spring
Full moon passes with no further werebeasts. 20 more migrants arrive. Still making coffins.
Summer
9 more migrants. A kid made a lime wood amulet.
Autumn
Accidently collaped the citidel roof killing a swarf and injuring others while replaceing it in stone. A lime wood figuring is made. All the artifacts seem to be lime wood for some reason. Built a tavern.

The Giant Darala Lyesali Atile has come. It dies easily and leave us two artifacts.
Year 205
Spring
20 more migrants despite danger. Expanded the main stair through the aquifer. Rebuilt the citidel. Ran out of coal.
Summer
A vile force of darkness has arrived. After some shot from the tower the camped in the tavern. Sealing thge fort off means we are out of charcoal. Assembled the military at the main gate and will open it to slaugher them. We sally forth from the gate a slaughter them right outside the tavern with no loses.

Decided to put in a well and underground pasture using water from the aquifer. Will also drain the moat.
Autumn
Finally a non-lime wood artifact, a Thral made a spahlerate sceptre Finally reached caverns. Aquifer is not filling the well at all. Its to slow. Having trouble draing the moat cant get a floodgate installed.
Winter
A werezebra has come. We stop it outside, it kills a few and maybe infects one guy. He is too weak to get to the hospital but is inside the outer wall. Next cycle is on 12/02
Year 206
Spring
No werezebras. One injured. The goblins are back. Allowed a wave of goblins in the main gate. Lost 4 dwarves and a lot of war dogs. Killed 5 goblins. 31 to go. Morons.

One of our dead came back to life. Down to 7 goblins but 36 dwarves. Let them in the lower level to hit the traps, which they wont enter. killed the last goblin and a migration wave of 19 showed up immediatly. Was down to 33 dwarves. All new migrants assigned to cleanup. Need to review defense.
