Points of Interest

• Δ 172. 1 Meet Reg Lancetrade
  Wait, what? You woke me up? Ach! What do you want?
  To talk? Why do you want to talk to me? I'm just the bookkeeper. My only friend here is the manager. The rest, pshaw. Just here to do work so I can keep the books, y'hear? It's important work and worthy of respect, whatever these fools think! - Tharis
• Δ 172. 2 Fire clay
  What was Tatooedbells thinking? Fire clay? We don't have any magma. There are barely enough trees to make beds. We're even having to make rock coffers, to heck with charcoal, and he gets this? What a waste! There isn't even an appropriate place to leave it, so it just sits there on the Trade Depot! Humph!
  
  And the trading was Such A Mess! The wagons showed up, you could see the panic on Tun's face. He even recruited that new metalcrafter, whatsherface, to make more stone trinkets to trade back to the capitol so we'd have food and drink for the winter! What a waste of rock, to put it in untrained hands!
  And then the guy buys us an extra copper pick. "Tun," I say, "what are you doing?" We barely have enough workers as it is! How can we..." And he gives to a glazer. A Glazer! A glazer who is clumsy, tires quickly, and gets sick easily! "Oh, it's not like she has anything better to do," he says. "It beats nothing." Pshaw! Make her into a stonecrafter, you fool! That's what I'd have done! - Tharis
• Δ 171. 4 Oops
  So, we finally got a drawbridge so the goblins, should they come, won't just waltz in and slaughter us all. Great!
  But you know what these sober* miners did? They duh the dry moat directly into the tunnel that connects to the archery tower! Brilliant! So if a troll falls in, our entire manufacturing center is toast! Fantastic!
  At least one of our half-trained masons had the brains to wall it off before something awful happened...

• Δ 167. 3 Bedrooms
  So finally fearless leader figures out that we need bedrooms. 18 dwarves live here now, over double what the dorm will contain, and now he figures it out. Genius!
  But they're dug. The miners went down a bit to see what was to be seen, and they found marble. A perfectly fine stone, long as nobody wastes it on furniture. So they think the walls will look nice, and it looks so pretty when it's smoothed over.
  Of course, the first bedroom went to the least active dwarves, the glazer-turned-miner (ha!) and the leatherworker. It's not like we make much out of leather. But they went and hopped into that bed together. I'm just waiting for their kids to claim a spot. Then the two miners, you can see them now, Reg and Tun, snoozing away. I guess they've worked hard enough!
  Oh yeah, and there's malachite, so we can make junk out of copper. Once we get the shavin'* furnaces going!
  * [Shavin', I've decided, is a dwarven epithet. Makes sense, no?] - Tharis
