Year 3: oh god its just getting started
First off, who designed this fort? It's absolutely maddening! It took me a few hours to even remember where the masonry was. Blergh. So, I started out by clearing a large area underground for a new central stockpile area. Suddenly, the Cyclops Bosteb Ursotudôsp Tata Osplu came! He was a giant humanoid monster with a single eye set in his forehead. Our army smashed him to pieces though. I got a bunch more decorating, stockpile, and other stuff done. Oh, and we will never run out of wood ever. It's almost impossible to use up all the wood I've stored, along with all the wood that simply has nowhere to go. Seriously, all the trees are gone. The elves will be very angry. I requested lots of plump helmets from the liason.
One of our most pressing concerns is that there is no water sources. By the summer, our only three deaths have been from dehydration in a hospital. In September, we were attacked by the Forgotten Beast Zospu. A great scaly caterpillar. It had thin wings of stretched skin and it squirmed and fidgeted. It's teal scales were round and set far apart. We were warned to beware its deadly dust! It died somehow. It looks like a colony of ant people blowgunned it to death. But seriously, our downfall might be a lack of water. Anyone who is injured can only drink water. Therefore, if you get to the hospital you will die. Mass dehydration set in during October. I foresee that the fortress will not last long, having found all three cave levels and no spring underground. We can only brew so fast. We also made a masterpiece... floodgate. How ironic.
I have started work on compressing all of the wood storage into a quantum stockpile using minecarts. In December, a towering hairy sauropod named Ozor decided to visit on the 2nd level of the caves. He was quickly dispatched by one of our axedwarves, Ustuth 'Dominick' Dodokshedim. Like two days later, a giant crab literally made out of flame named Lisid came on the first layer of the caves. Like holy fuck, it literally spreads fire and smoke wherever it goes. It burned the entire caves. Luckily, our first cave outpost is extremely secure, filled with traps and multiple doors.
AND THEN HOLY FUCK. A CAVE DRAGON GOT INSIDE THE 3RD CAVERN OUTPOST THANKS TO A GREMLIN!!! I quickly rushed my squad to the 3rd cavern, as the literal fire crab still had 3 iron doors to melt through. Two dwarves died to kill that dragon, our ranger Sazir and our valiant swordsman Kel. Before we had time to grieve, I rushed the squad to the overlook above Cavern 2. While the cave dragon fight happened, the gremlin was killed by a cave reacher. I'm so sorry, but the fire crab was not letting me open the door to let my squad kill it. You'll have to do that by yourself.
Good luck to ferriswheel1/A4Brogan/DreamCarver/whoknowsanymore, the fourth Dorf Overseer!
