Timber 552

quote:

A forlorn haunt, seeking out known locations or drifting around the place of death. This spirit has not been properly memorialized or buried.



Tomehammers was in grief. Half the population was dead, including their overseer. The dwarves began to memorializing their loved ones. Recall, they had sealed the last fire imp inside of the Tomehammers crypt; therefore the miners quickly expanded an existing tunnel to house a new row of coffins.


A number of original tomes were known to reside in Tomehammers at this time, as well as several reproduction Fordedglows.

In spite of all the work to be done, some leaned on their hobbies to get them through the hard times. Library records show Eeepies and Lushbetost visiting The Treasury of Work on 14 Timber.



quote:

The written portion consists of a 150 page novel entitled Buff Hip, authored by Caraca Fordedglows. The work has no particular subject. The writing is quite florid and it is somewhat self-indulgent. Overall, the prose is amateurish at best.



quote:

The written portion consists of a 22 page short story entitled Tar and Nothing More, authored by Caraca Fordedglows. The work has no particular subject. The writing is somewhat self-indulgent. Overall, the prose is not awful, but not very good either.



The group decided to finish their dining hall, in order to lift their spirits. Seeing as so many had died for the lava-pit project, a different space was carved out to the west of the apartments, just in case.


While the constrcution was underway, in the first week of Moonstone, a band of invaders appeared on the glacial plain. News had spread of the weakened fortress and the valuables housed within. Records vary, but at least half a dozen goblins were sighted outside the gates.



This time, the door sealed without a hitch.




Wary of a fight, the dwarves only had to wait for the horrible mountain dust to drive off their foes.



Even with the main construction crew working to wall off the pit, the dwarves of Tomehammers had a fairly easy time furnishing their new dining hall. All of the furniture had already been commisioned in advance. Many dwarves who had been distrupted in the post-imp fortress were able to find themselves in interior decoration.

This also allowed the food stores to be moved inside from the farming fields, again, just in case.


However, without a proper overseer, many important jobs were being ignored. The ghost of Albert Krabs was seen scolding AJ Impy a craftsdwarf. With no body intact, the former had been neglected from the burial list. Impy They finally put Krabs to rest, knowing there would be more ghosts to come in the near future.

Copyist's Addendum

OK, I've been holding my tongue while I transcribe this text, but I gotta point out something the historian got wrong. Yes, the gravestone rubbing bears AJ Impy's mark, but that's only because Impy chiseled the slab while they were still alive. A dwarven engraver would never insert themselves onto the deceased's marker.
