Dwarf Fortress: Friendship is Magma - The story of Fort Ironmurd

1st Granite 250
Not sure why I've been tasked with leading a new expedition to
what has been kindly described as a 'hell hole', nor am I sure
why I decided to go along with it. Though, there was mention of
strange and never before seen metals and everything else was
kind of a blurry haze after that. So, now it's to making the
best of the situation.
Fortunately, I've got a group with some pretty varied skills,
certainly enough to get a rudimentary outpost set up with our
base needs with the supplies we're being provided. After that, I
was told they'd find more willing ponies and send them to aid us
if they deemed things sufficient enough. I have no idea what
they mean by that, but at this point, I'm assuming food and the
like. And still alive. They didn't say that, but it was kind of
implied.

Been travelling for about a week or two at this point. Haven't
been attacked yet. Actually met some... locals? Considering the
warnings they gave us about sticking around, I have doubts they
stay here, but we're well equipped. I figure, couple more days
of travel, and begin setting things up. Any more than that and
we might risk the food and water running out before getting a
source in place.

I don't know what to call them. They looked like alicorns, but
there was something unnatural about them. It's hard to describe,
something you just know upon seeing them. They attacked, of
sorts. Seemed more like a warning. That this was their domain
and they didn't want us to stay. Unfortunately, the cart is
broken to hell, so it's no longer our choice. The others seem
just as unsettled as myself, but I was put in charge, and if
those things are going to cause us problems, we'll have to be
sure we're ready for them.
Now... first thing's first. Shelter. All this damned snow is
getting to me quickly. It was only supposed to be a brief time
here, after all...

It's cold. Damn cold. I think I'm the worst effected here, but
none of the others argued when I said we need shelter as soon as
possible. They were quite open to the idea of carving out a
cave, especially considering the time it would take to gather
materials and then to build the structures whilst we're all
freezing our flanks off. Myself and Ryo have grabbed the two
picks we have and set to work on making a deep cave, meanwhile,
Schambart has offered his help in gathering some wood.

18th Granite 250
No idea if it will be a problem, but something we should
probably keep an eye on. As we began digging and exposing some
ground not covered by snow, purple patches of some growth began
to appear. Was told it's called taint creep. At the moment,
seems benign, but am making a note of it here. At the same time,
Thyme has noted this might mean there's more plants hidden below
the snow, and we could possibly forage to help stretch our food
supplies out. Might not be a bad idea since the river that is
supposed to be here is solid ice, so fishing is certainly out.
20th Granite 250
Five days of digging. That's how long it's taken us to finally
hit stone. And it was in the process of expanding the caverns,
giving us space to set up some work shops. Whilst it is a little
dark and dreary in comparison to actual buildings and homes,
this will be a lot easier to defend in the event of an attack.

I had to be reminded that the beds needed placing. I'd been so
busy getting workshops in place, I'd forgot they'd been put into
the temporary storage I'd assigned. So, a bit late, but we
finally have a proper dorm area to sleep. And on that note, I'll
go get my first proper night of sleep since arriving.
