Surprise!
One of the new miners took over one of the outdoor mason shops. He has produced a beautiful item.....
A Good Day
We have had a very productive few weeks. With all of the labor available we have taken stock of many of the minerals available to us, completed the tunnel under the river, secured additional exits, and sorted most of our raw materials.
Many of the migrants have useful professions, and we put them to work immediately.
Our original Mason, Crowning, has been creating some great works to adorn the halls and living quarters. His latest masterpiece is a statue of myself.....I had it displayed at our front entrance with a garden.
I held a party to celebrate our successes at this statue today, and while we celebrated, one of the new miners was taken by a few mood. We'll see what joy this brings....

On Water
With the raw manpower and abuse of the power to force new arrivals into manual labor, we have finally cleared the water out of the "farm" rooms, and have begun to grow a variety of crops. While many objected to the....assignment of tasks, many have now settled into the job they wish to perform. With any luck, we'll be able to start making better quarters for all of us to live in.
A Well
Shortly after our well was installed, a merchant caravan came to visit us. Quickly, we established a trade depot, and promptly did no trading.
It seems that somehow they were impressed by our home (it's not like I showed them the "farms", only letting them know that certain locations were forbidden), and news of the wealth of minerals has spread.
Migrants have begun streaming in, and we have been struggling to accommodate. Most of them I have told to move various stones to various locations, keeping them busy until I can interview them and find out where their specialties lie. For now, though, easy labour is quite nice, and many workshops have sprung up to handle the demand.
I will continue my plan to dig us to the other side of the river, though we have located some good minerals.
Hopefully we can get some forges up soon and make mining picks, so I can put more of these guys to real work. MunnyBrun and Under are getting tired of the constant work.

A Strange Kind of Cook
Well, this has been an interesting turn of events. Many of the migrants have proven quite useful. Now I have enough people to clear out rooms, move things in out of the rain. Things have been getting done pretty quickly.
-I spoke too soon. Not a moment after I finished my entry the cook we recently acquired claimed a mechanist workshop. She has been babbling about our heroic efforts in founding this "Dance".
-Well then. In her god-inspired crafting of a mechanism for a well, she named it "Dance Machine".
-Once she left her trance, she looked about and asked if we had a well yet, and noted she would very much like to drink from a well.
-I ordered a well made.

Migrants
So, migrants have arrived. This answers some questions, but causes us to pose more.....
We now know what we were sent here to make. A dance hall. For elves. I told them that they got the right place, but that we aren't making a dance hall. No fuckin way. Right now, we're making a water hall, see? So, now that you're here you can either help us try to survive here, or guide us out of here.
Turns out that we didn't get a very satisfactory answer.
They didn't know the way back home. It seems that they were slowly realizing that they had been developing large blank spaces in their memory.
So. Something around here is the cause.
