Someone actually let M. c. P. back in!
Someone risked the entire fortress to save one single dwarf! If I find out who they are, they'll be leading the next expedition through the Door of Certain Doom, and unlike the Stairs of Certain Doom, it's earned its name.

A giant mole had made it all the way inside Gemclod.
How? How have the elves not kidnapped every last child in Gemclod with that kind of security?

Boing stormed into my office today, looking extremely agitated.
She insists that we need to build a grate to secure the future of Gemclod.
Why not.

Winter! I know this because the temperature is almost bearable.

Markus made it to the depot, and trading with the merchants began immediately. Not all of the junk I wanted brought to the depot is there yet, but there's a pretty big pile already, enough to buy the most important things.
Namely, four barrels of grizzly bear blood and chipmunk blood each. I expected more, but anything that funds the extermination of the grizzly menace is a step in the right direction in my book. I bought the chipmunk blood because I said I would and those merchants already have it hard enough.
Next I bought all the thread and silk they had. It's not much, but at least it'll give the weavers and clothiers something to do. I also bought metal bolts since you can't have too many of those. Except the "well crafted, skin penetrating, inside-riping super steel bolts" the merchant tried to sell us for a ridiculous price.
The rest of the crafts were spent on buying clothes and whatever valuable things the trader had, like the largest black diamond I've ever seen. Only one I've ever seen, actually.
Of course it wasn't all fun and profits, I also took the opportunity to pay my respect to king Bomrek by offering him the shoddiest built, most worthless mudstone crown I could find in the gigantic pile of crap we have. It took a while. I hope he appreciates the hard work I put into selecting it.

Once again, I've burned through our entire supply of steel. That's right, the 6 smelters we have can't keep up with my forging. I'd blame the dwarves around here being lazy, but really, I'm the one who's just that amazing.

Oh, hello.
If Bad Munki's latest herb-fueled rant is to be trusted, this one's called Nol. It rudely knocked down the door to the Stairs of Certain Doom, for no reason at all, so I don't think trying to reason with this one is gonna pay off.
Now let's see, the question is, are you one of those scary but harmless ones, or one of those walking incarnations of death?

I gave drawing Nol a try.
Eager to see what the poisonous vapors do. I had an FB once with a poison that caused dwarves to bleed to death roughly one frame after exposure. Might as well say dwarf me! on the off chance that Nol manages to kill his way through 100 dwarves or something.
