After being funned out from our loss of magma crabs, I requested Asob, Goden and 'Loric Deepson' do dig an exploratory mine shaft.
On the 28th of Moonstone, they hit the caverns. I myself am going head down and explore while they continue the dig. I won't deny I'm afraid I might find something dangerous but I know my Lord will protect me from harm.
So far there are no creatures down here at all. There is a thick layer of mud covering everything and no plants are in sight. Olivine, platinum, rock crystal and other gems dot the walls. Cave spider silk, thankfully not giant cave spider silk, can be spotted from time to time but that is all there is to see. No wait, there is something over there. It appears to be a
I say bottomless because I walked right up to the edge and I can't see the bottom. It must be at least 50 urists deep by my reckoning. Maybe this is the volcano's secondary pipe? Oh! The first signs of life. What strange creatures,
I hope they aren't hostile.

not mine at all.]
Well, that's all there is too see I'm going to head up for a drink.

"Hey Likottogum the miners have
This one is full of trees and other plants. What's more, there's a downward passage that seems to lead somewhere."
"Thank you Kell. I'll see to it in a bit."

We finally found the nether cap we needed. As a bonus, it looks like there are some Rutherers as well.
I was just wheeling some obsidian over to a stockpile when I hear Goden murmuring something about a great idea. He's gone and claimed one of the mason workshops and started working on something with some andesite.
How nice. Its a
of us as we traveled to this mountain.
One year has passed. We're almost halfway done laying the foundation of the temple, but it will still take a long time.

Goden was in the middle of removing some of the ramps near the entrance when he heard a voice.
"Hey! You there! Is this the place those dwarves got trapped?"
"No."
"Stuck?
"No."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"Digging, can I help you?"
"Yes, where's the nearest place where I can scam someone?"
"Just up the hill and around the corner."
"Thanks!"
[The elven merchants from "The Wind of Cleaning" have some to clean out our stock for a very low price. Also, I just saw one of the wrathwell's who was a legendary miner climbing because he removed the ramps that were around him

"I've had enough of this place! Fine take what you want but we're out of here!"
[Explanation: I forgot elves won't take obsidian swords so I offered one to them, they didn't like it. Since we have nothing else to trade them, I decided to swipe some of their fruit and call it good.]

I was just headed out to place some cages on the traps when a random dwarf climbs up the ledge next to me.
"Morning guvnah! My name's Zulban. Don't mind us, we're just moving in."
"Us?"

I feel our time here is drawing to an end so I have everyone work on the foundation as fast as possible.
A few of us were interrupted as coyotes came but the coyotes were soon punched and kicked into submission (death).
We've also captured one of the giant moles and are now training it.
Looks like Mafol has barricaded himself in the mechanics workshop. What can he be up to?
Some magma crabs came to the surface to give birth to their young. Only to die to our dwarves. Four dwarves were going about their business when they spotted the crabs. For whatever the reason they soon had the impulse to murder the crabs. The crabs never saw it coming.
Some crundles have come up from the lowest cavern. The ran into the traps we placed at the top and now we have 5 captured, all male.
In other news, the human caravan has come.

Too many people have come. I am going on a journey. Don't destroy everything. - Signed 'xominxac' Likottogum
P.S. Don't let the human caravan out till I come back.
As I walked away, 9 more dwarves walked in.
[Total of 48 dwarves living there now. Here's the
saveThey started coming in droves near the end. Personally, I like there to be around 20 or so dwarves at a given time.]
