Goblins and Elves

139, 19 Felsite
Deb Fath, one of our threshers, has had a boy, Udib.

139, Seventh Hematite
The goblins went for livestock as I expected. Mostly macemen, but one bowman. Our seven-strong squad rushed out to meet them and won handily. We lost a couple of the dogs, but no serious injuries to any dwarf. We've got a few scrapes to patch up, but I'm quite pleased with my first military conflict.

The work on the external keep we started before the elves arrived will continue now. I hope to have a more fortified position soon.

139, Eighth Hematite
With the goblins gone, we've turned our attention to the elves. They brought a tame giant tiger with them. It's enormous. We traded for it, along with a tame jaguar. We also took a great deal of their substandard cloth. For some reason, we have few pig tail seeds on hand. I'm working to remedy that situation, but we'll want some more cloth in the mean time.

139, Fourth Malachite
Adie has had a son, Catten.

139, Eighth Malachite
Another hauler, Likot Muzishnish, has had a daughter, Ablel. That's the fifth child born in the last eight months. I guess we know what was happening with so many idle.

139, 15 Malachite
Ikal Bill has released the last of the injured dwarves from his care. Bizarrely, he had elected to leave the copper bolt lodged in Ezar Lokum. I question this decision, but he insists.

Our military is back to 100% strength, though this is still only seven dwarves.

More migrants have arrived. The new lodgings are being filled as fast as we can dig and furnish them. There's a highly skilled doctor in the group. I've made him our new chief medical dwarf, with Ikal Bill reporting to him.

139, 23 Malachite
Ivom As has given birth to a boy, Vabok.

139, 15 Galena
A human caravan has arrived. We have few true needs now, though more coal is always welcome.

139, 17 Galena
A vile force of darkness has arrived!
