A goblin kidnapper was spotted by our carpenter, Um Ezum, today. Ezum and Ezar Sarvesh are the dwarves of the hour after the latter put several bolts into the fleeing creature. The dogs overtook and killed the creature handily.

The other miners and I have dug out a new and much larger meeting area. It's close to the surface and should prevent further fisticuffs, as we've been seeing in the woefully inadequate dining hall deeper in the fortress. We're also carving out large storerooms on the upper levels to hold the multitude of trade goods we'll be making.
After these are done (probably in a month or so), we'll begin work on new food preparation and storage areas.

We've begun to set up wood burning facilities to supplement our supply of coke. I requested as much coke, lignite and coal as I could from the caravan, but it will never be enough without burning some trees.

Two births on the same day! One of our haulers, Udil, has given birth to a boy, Stakud. Kastar Sarvesh also had a boy, which she named after herself.

Zero unemployment. Praise Armok!

New mother Udil was ambushed by a goblin thief, who snatched her baby right out of her arms! The alarm went up and Ezar Kenneth charged after the thief. Our fearless champion caught the would-be kidnapper and chopped him into goblin cutlets! Five cheers for Ezar Kenneth!

Spring is here at last. One of our herbalists, Totmon Doren has been possessed by the gods. He took nearly all the bones from our recent wolf killing and has begun some making... something. Adie is organizing a small betting pool on what it turns out to be. Doren is a bit thick. My money's on Animal Trap.

I won the pool! No idea what we'll do with a wolf bone animal trap. We have a tetrahedrite coffer too. Perhaps we should install them in the meeting hall.

Migrants arrived today. Almost twenty of them. Adie and I are going through them this afternoon to see what their skills are.
Four of them have some military experience. I've instructed them to report to Ezar Kenneth. We will need more weapons.

Elven traders have arrived. The goblins won't be far behind. I've ordered civilians indoors and the military to high alert. The goblins will probably go for the livestock topside. We'll be waiting. If they try the main door, they'll meet our upgraded defenses. Serrated steel discs, made by Josh and installed recently.
