1st Granite, 201, Early Spring

Recorded by Renp Zagododdom, Bookkeeper of the prospective Outpost Adilrubal.
	
	After a long and largely uneventful trek from the Mountainhomes,
our party sighted and claimed volcano reported previously by the trade 
network.  Striking the earth, we hoped to forge a new metal industry
and delve a new mountainhall to rival all others.

	The fort progresses slowly, with unforseen difficulties emerging in the
construction of the waterwheel and associated mechanisms.  If all goes
well, however, a suitable system for elevation of fresh brook water should
be operational before the leaves turn.  Manual preparation of a well may be
wise at this point.

17th Hematite, 201, Early Summer

Recorded by Renp Zagododdom, Bookkeeper

	The haunting cries of the fire imps have marauded our camp since its 
inception, but recently one emerged from the firey depths of the volcano to 
stare intently at our doings.  The construction of a perimeter wall is now 
underway.

9th Malachite, 201, Mid-Summer

Recorded by Renp Zagododdom, Bookkeeper

	The vertical pump stack proved to be too ambitious an undertaking
for the time being, so I've ordered the construction of a well to bide some 
time.  A small subterranean farm adjacent to the first level of the well 
should supplement our fish production when sufficiently moistened.

27th Galena, 201, Late Summer

Recorded by Renp Zagododdom, Bookkeeper

	Well shaft is slowly being filled,  and a chain has not yet been forged, 
but the pieces are all in place for the construction of a well.  The farm has 
not yet been irrigated by bucket, but this shouldn't pose too much of a set-
back.  A fireman has been spotted by the mouth of the volcano, so plans
are in motion for the construction of cage traps in the front entry.  A trade 
depot has been constructed just inside the entrance just in case fort 
status cannot be fully stabilized until i am temporarily relieved of command
by Mili the miner.  Boulders external to the fort may need smoothing to 
allow access to trade wagons.

1st Limestone, 201, Early Autumn

Recorded by Renp Zagododdom, Bookkeeper

	My current term comes to an end, and i am succeeded by Mili until
next spring.  As long as the fishery continues processing fish and the well
is built, the winter should be survivable.  

FORT STATUS:
water:	incomplete
fish:		yes
farm:		incomplete
defense:	light forward walling, 2 crossbows and limited bolts
industry:	gem, stone, wood, bone, light metal;  
		potential heavy metal, glass
office:	none
rooms:	foreward antechamber 2, kitchen, stair hall, dining hall,
		side hall 2

RECOMMENDATIONS:
*Build cage traps around front entrance
*Build well over shaft in well hole as soon as possible
*Moisten temporary farm--seek guidance if necessary
