Nil Zulbanavuz’s diary, 6th of Timber
I’m almost beginning to suspect we’ve angered some dwarf god. This one can get into our fortress, so I’ve dispatched Thin Man.
Dogs give and take some punishment.
Thin Man has better things to do than to fight Forgotten Beasts. Yes, he killed it in a single hit by slicing it in two. Remember this is a monster easily 10 times the size of a dwarf.

The mayor Ulminati threw a tantrum today because someone spilled his ale, throwing stuff around and kicking a dog down the stairs. I’m worried because Rith is supposed to administer punishment, and she’s been very enthusiastic about it in the past.
…
She just caved his head in. I’ll never litter again.
Building a proper prison so we don’t have any more beatings is now on my priority list.

I’m beginning to suspect ulterior motives to the beating. Rith has now been appointed mayor. I wonder if she really lost her memory or this is just a cover for crimes she might have committed before I moved in. I’m definitely keeping my eyes on her.
Funfact: Rith has killed no less than three of the original seven; Krash, Ulminati, and Bandaid.

Rummaging through Rith’s things I’ve found notes, lots of them. Some of it pertains to the unfinished doomsday machine outside. It was supposed to be called OBSIDIAN ENTERTAINMENT and rain down magma on unsuspecting invaders. Unfortunately, some parts are missing, and I’m not technical enough to get into it. There’s also a lot about a supposed “cult of the builder”. No one else seems to know anything about it, which worries me – is Rith some nutcase ready to flip out?

I’ve built myself a tomb. I think I earned it. I’m thinking of doing the same for previous rulers.

More migrants! We might just have enough fresh meat now to bolster the ranks of the military. This new influx has increased our total population to 28 dwarfs and dwarfettes.
Crundles have taken to harassing dwarfs cleaning up the first cave level. Luckily, a hunter on his way back made short work of them.
I think it's giving us the finger.
This is what happens when you mess with dwarfs!

Guess who took care of the problem diary? Hint: T. M.
Nil Zulbanavuz’s diary, 11th of Obsidian
Kadol the carpenter is acting strangely. She’s loitering around the Great Hall at the moment, biting her nails and babbling as if she was possessed. I have a hunch that she needs something – but what?
At the recommendation of one of the residents I had a bowyers shop built. Kadol immediately rushed to it, threw us out, and began gathering materials. I hope she makes a fancy crossbow. Amrok knows there’s enough here to shoot at.

I’m getting tired of working my ass off for little reward. I think it’s time I let some other sucker handle this crap. But before I do, I need to talk with Rith one last time. Something’s been bugging me…
To do list:
- Get forges running again. There’s a forgotten beast down there, but Thin Man can deal with those.
- Make better weapons - we have a very good weaponsmith now.
- Complete the Great Stairway. Might need some construction here and there.
- Figure how the fuck OBSIDIAN ENTERTAINMENT works, and what need to be done to complete it.
- Engrave some slabs to take care of the last ghosts.
- Smooth and engrave the graveyard.
- Build fancy tombs for the other rulers.
PS. STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM NOKAST SLIME IN CAVERN 2
PPS. Date on 4th of Granite, don’t forget to braid beard and buy expensive plump helmet wine.
The diary ends here.
