In which everything goes swimmingly.
Hematite 4
Snatchers! Three No FOUR! Goblin thieves have been spotted just north of the Necropolis. The Cobalt Gears have been called up and ordered to block the entrance. With the awning still barely restarted maybe they can catch the ne’erdowells before any damage is done.
Bomrek is first to the entry-hall, and he sends three of the thieves fleeing, however the rest of the militia is not far behind him. While Bomrek was slightly injured and withdraws Ilral Sazirlikot was able to catch up to one near the western border while a dog pursued another to the south. An attempt to raise the southern gate was made but no one was close enough to raise it in time.
As the goblin approached the western border she tackled the larcenous beast, forcing it to drop it’s sack. As they wrestled this gave Zuntir Likotokol time to arrive, only see the goblin knocked out by a punch from Ilral, and then she was continued to pummel the goblin’s unconscious form, though surprisingly instead trying to pull her off the goblin, Zuntir joined Ilral and began punching it in the head and neck.
Meanwhile to the south erith Medtobavuz & his stray hunting dog. The goblin has been focused on the dog, and rightly so as it’s done most of the damage, finally biting the goblin in the chest so hard it pierces the goblin’s lung causing him to vomit in pain.
Hematite 7
Malachite 1
9 Dwarves and 2 Children have arrived seeking lodging and work. Work we have plenty, but lodgings may take a bit. This brings our total population to 64. Stocks are good with over a thousand food and nearly 400 drink. We may need some more brewing to be set up to keep up with everyone, especially with the popularity of the tavern which has 23 guests.
Malachite 25
Tekkud Dodoknitig, Poet has been taken by a fey mood! He immediately claimed a craftdwarf’s workshop, some Hazel logs, Pecan logs, Giant Wren Leather, a round turquoise cabochon, and a piece of coal, and began working furiously.
Galena 3
A mere week later and Tekkud has finished his masterwork. A momentous occasion!
Otherwise everything is peaceful. A small watch-tower at the Eastern gate has been completed. The northern portion of the awning has also been completed, giving us some level of safety should the need to raise the gates arrive we only have to worry about fliers, or enemies foolhardy enough to jump down 4 stories from the partially constructed roof. More farmland has been built, but a dearth of plump helmets may be an issue as our drink supply continues to dwindle.
Galena 3
Testri Sudemzuso, Human Bard and The Crystalline Rasps have both requested residence for the purpose of entertaining citizens and visitors. It has been granted.
Galena 20
Our first native born resident has survived to their day of ascension, and is now a 1 year old Dwarven Child, a momentous portent as summer draws to a close. That said while plenty of house has been dug out, beds, doors and furniture are still taking time to produce at a rate that will fulfill the needs of 66 Dwarves and other friendly folk. The supply of alcohol has also dwindled to only 243. Needs must be met!
