Points of Interest

• Δ 48. That Other Statue
  Deduk Inethmafol writes in his journal:
  
  "I don't like statues. But I figured I should put something on top of that welcoming slope to make it pretty. I had a mason quickly make some rough alunite thing. It looks barely human but I don't care. It's not like any of the idiots will go and look at that from up close. The only visitors we get are sent elsewhere and the appearance of that status is, to put it bluntly, the least of their worries.
  
  This marks the second statue I've been placing in this fort. The first is on top of the access shaft leading to Liontower, placed there for pretty much the same reasons.
  
  Some worker down in the shops told me the slope on top of Cage Alley made it look like 'an airplane'. Whatever the bloody Armok that is. I'd normally send dwarves making those sorts of comments straight to the hammerer, but since we don't have one... much less any chains or jails for that matter... I let him be on his way.
  
  ...On second thought, he's right. It does look like an airplane." - Shurikane
• 48. The Drop Tower

  ( 206 Mid Autumn to 218 Mid Summer )
  Deduk Inethmafol writes in his journal:
  
  "Although the engineering was simple, the execution was anything but. We've actually had to stop at this level because the scaffoldings were starting to shake around in the wind. We quickly laid down a foundation of obsidian and proceeded to build the walls.
  
  The end result is a top-feeding drop shaft with two drawbridges. The first is meant to flush the current batch down one level when the pansies who handle the beasts get too scared of the screams coming from below. The second performs the actual job. I ended up giving in to the demand of a hatch to shield citizen eyes from 'those horrible, horrible goblins.' This led to this unsightly third lever on the far end. I will kick down whoever pulls this lever without my express authorization.
  
  We also built an auxiliary shaft in order to safely and quickly discard enemy weapons." - Shurikane

• Δ 46. Seventy-eight Goblins!
  Deduk Inethmafol writes in his journal:
  
  "Count them! Count them all! Seventy-eight, yes indeed! From a massive siege involving eighty goblins, we captured all but two in our neat little cages. Just stripping them of their possessions alone took days. The buggers are quite resistant. Some of them complained about their balls being frozen solid during the winter when this happened. I told him I'd solve the problem by elimination. That shut him up. I don't get how people can be such idiots as to speak madness while standing to close to Liontower. It's as they're in a hurry to die and they want to spend their time making my life a living hell in the meantime.
  
  I captured an ambush pack of four a few days later and added them to the count, bringing it all to eighty-two. Once I drop them down, I'll have brought the total number of sacrifices to exactly one hundred and ninety four.
  
  I think I'll wait for the new batch to be captured. I'm counting about thirty from a quick peek above the walls of the courtyard. Methinks a drop of over one hundred goblins into Liontower's maw will be... magnificent!" - Shurikane
• ¶ 15. Cage Alley II
  Deduk Inethmafol writes in his journal:
  
  "At last! Cage Alley has been completed, filled from one end to another and with enough spare ammunition to keep an entire siege's invasion behind bars. We're no longer going to need to buy wood from those merchants much longer.
  
  Speaking of which, the visitors ran into a goblin siege coming from all sides. I wouldn't have bothered in normal circumstances, but the lowly pukes decided to use their army to fight back and kill our sacrifices! It's a shame we couldn't afford to catch up with the last remaining wagon. I wanted to murder every last one of those bastards for defiling Liontower's sustenance.
  
  Ah well. I can't satisfy every demand. I have bigger fish to fry. Much bigger fish to fry..." - Shurikane

  "ME! ME ME ME ME ME MEEEEEEEEEE!!!" - Shurikane
• Δ 15. The Grand Trading Hall
  Deduk Inethmafol writes in his journal:
  
  "I had been meaning to make a meaningful trade depot. One in which I would get pleasure from conducting business into. I ended up ordering the old depot be torn down and a new one placed more in harmony with the rest of the design. The depot itself is constructed out of pure silver, the most valuable material we could find in this neck of the woods so far.
  
  It's a rather successful work of art, if I may say so myself. Caravans even leave us gifts before they depart in sheer admiration of our craftsdwarfship." - Shurikane
• Δ 1. Preparing for Nobility
  Deduk Inethmafol writes in his journal:
  
  "I don't know what to do. I'm expecting some upper form of authority any minute now. I've been digging some rooms to accommodate him but I can't find anything uniform enough to suit my tastes! It's in times like these where I curse the presence of gemstones in this rock. You think you've got it all covered, then BAM! Some ugly-ass green jewel with a name I can't even pronounce. And the microcline in the hall leading to the meditation chamber? Ugh! I can't stand the color blue. Makes me feel queasy on the inside.
  
  I'm about to give up. I'll give that set of rooms to the baron, and if he isn't satisfied, I'll send the little prissy and his whore straight into Liontower's maw!" - Shurikane
