The Fifth Day
[/u]
It is late autumn. The first thing that happened was a kobold theif appearing at our trade depot. The stupid kobold theif ran through my trade depot and was quickly torn apart by the merchant's swordsdwarf and marksdwarf body guards. The caravan left soon after. I got a large dagger from his body. The second thing that happened was a wave of migrants.
Woopee, more housing I need to make. It was kind of worthless, two miners, an animal caretaker, a hunter, a cook, a potash maker, and FIVE peasants.
It was then though, that something interesting happened; a new hunter from the migrant wave, Id, had a showdown with the giant eagle. Upon spotting the beast, Id shot an arrow at it and the chase began! They weaved in and out of my workshop area before going southeast into the hills.
It was then that the giant eagle circled around and flied through the workshop area again. Almost by my on duty wrestler, myself.
Then the giant eagle, seemingly intelligent, lured my hunter into a pack of slugmen.
The hunter struck two slugmen and had to kill them before starting the chase again.
Id was right on the eagle's tail when it led Id into another slugman, who was wounded, before finding it's chance for escape over a cliff. Out of Id's reach, Id had no choice but to give up the chase. It is not over though, Id swears it.
After this long chase Id proved his worth by killing four mountain goats and then that alligator!
I guess I didn't have anything to worry about with that. It is winter now and I need to dig out more rooms for the new arrivals. I should also move everyone into the new fortress. Slugmen be warned, we are expanding.
Note: Id is a marksdwarf aswell as a wrestler.
