1st Granite - Spring has arrived.  A quick look at the happiness meter reveals mostly content/happy/ecstatic dwarves.  The two were-dwarves are never happy, but I don't care about them.

I now have about 150 bedrooms for the dwarves, each is 2x2, engraved, with a bed and cabinet along with doors in the corners.  They are all set for first-come first-serve.  I plan on finishing out the fourth layer this year, bringing us to 196 total bedrooms.

Furnacelull is now a city and created wealth is about 6.5 million.  The drink stocks are at 1200, which is roughly 10 drinks per dwarf.

The cooks have fallen behind on turning eggs into fancy lavish meals, so we have 2500 meat, 285 fish, 9300 eggs and 15 cheese.  The number of prepared meals is up to 12,800.  Hopefully I can drop that number to about 6000 after the caravan arrives in the fall.

Ammo stocks are so-so.  Ideally I want about 100 metal bolts per marksdwarf.  So with five squads of ten dwarves, I'd want about 5000 metal bolts.  I only have about 1500 metal bolts.  Before I bulk up the marksdwarf militia squads, I need to bulk up my metal ammo supplies.  I have 165 iron, 127 copper, 147 steel, and about 75 bronze bars.  If I convert the 127 copper and 75 bronze into bolts that gives me about 5000.

I'll produce those using a novice weaponsmith.  Turning off my two near-legendary weaponsmiths from producing any weapons for the duration.

The (3) "pillars" squads now all have masterwork steel battle axes.  Future recruits will probably ask for other things.  I'll start production of iron armor and they'll be assigned "metal" armor in a few months.  Since I want high-quality armor right off the bat, I'll let my near-legendary armorer make those pieces.

The Archery range only has room for (4) targets.  I will be constructing a second one in the SE corner.

Note the open spaces between the firing lanes.  The misses are collected on the floor below.

18th Granite - 'Doc' Muthkat Ekirsazir has given birth to a boy.  Discovered that the resident scaredy-cat dwarf, Ber Kivishashmon, is outside the fortress walls.  Lowering the gate to let him back in.

28th Slate - Drafted some more female dwarves into the marksdwarf militia squads that train twice per year for a month.  So I have 59 dwarves drafted into militia/military squads.

9th Hematite - Gave all the squads a "move here" order a week ago, let them mill around for a few days, then cancelled the station order.  That should get them all to go grab equipment, especially the new recruits.  Throwing open the gates and going to harvest trees and collect wood for the next 6 months.

8th Malachite - 'Smith' Mafol Tiristesmul gives birth to a baby boy.

18th Malachite - The werepanda Bosa Axtutsong has come!

Urvad Roderiton is first up.  A member of the Silvery Boots, but poorly equipped.  Inod Kelrithlut is second to join in on the fight and Risen Sarveshkidet is third.  None are good fighters or have armor.  Urvad is strangled to death, Inod gets thrown into the moat and Risen is keeping distance.

(Somehow Lolor Thunenlikot manages to fall off the wall to death.)

Note: Inod has been bitten during the fight.

Etur Gusiliden, a member of Silvery Boots is next to start fighting.  She at least has leather armor on and a wooden shield, but no crossbow yet.  However, bolts are starting to fly from the tower where the rest of the Silvery squads are stationed.  She has been bitten, so will need to be isolated.

Inod and Etur take the fight down into the dry moat.  Both are pretty banged up, but are putting the hurt on the werepanda.  Bembul Oslanlorbam jumps down in the moat and joins in followed by 'Woodsy' Kogan Solonetost.

19th Malachite - The werepanda, Bosa, has transformed back into a goblin.  Dwarves are still giving it the beatdown in the dry moat.

27th Malachite - Dwarves are in the hospital and are being tended to, all squad members are stationed in the hospital, waiting the next full moon.

5th Galena - Rovod Uzoltad gives birth to a boy.  Her and 'Teacher' Minkot Kelziril now have six children.

6th Galena - Inod has been released from the hospital and given the order to pull a lever repeatedly while a squad of marksdwarves watches from a safe distance.  The other injured and possibly infected were worse off and are still in the hospital under guard.

Three other squads are shadowing Kogan, who we suspect is infected.

15th Galena - Inod is struck down.

Kogan is locked behind a door in one of the squad's training rooms.  A marksdwarf will probably see him through the foritications.

The were-dwarfs in the hospital cells (since a few years ago now) have had fortifications carved in their cells and have been surrounded by marksdwarves.  This resulted in pincushioned were-dwarfs.

20th Galena - All of the were-dwarves in the fort have now been slain.

27th Galena - A group of dwarves gang up and attack a grizzly bear while hauling wood.  There are now 25 pages of log reports of them punching the grizzly in the head.  My guess is that Sibrek was hunting it and the other dwarves jumped in to help.

It is now 1st Limestone and they are still hitting it and passing out from exhaustion.  Time to send in the Pillar squads.  Besmar Altoltirist kills it in a single blow, chopping off the bear's head.

10th Limestone - Caravan enters map, and turns around and immediately leaves.  No combat messages, no other notes in the log.

16th Moonstone - 'Doc' Muthkat Ekirsazir gives birth to a baby boy.  Her and her husband, Tobul Ularducim, now have seven children.

17th Moonstone - Export agreement.

23rd Moonstone - Etur Gusiliden has gone berserk in the hospital.

Etur is quickly struck down by Stinthad Lularineth and Sodel Ushrirstigaz.

16th Obsidian - Things are quiet in the fort.  The dwarves are still hauling wood from the forest that was cleared.  Military skills are coming along well.  Steel armor was produced for most of the melee squad.

Production of gold furniture has started.  There are about 600 bars of gold and 600 raw ore in the stock listing.
