Masterpieces

Two dwarves have created masterpieces and one, jeweler Urdim Eddimoral, has acheived legendary status for his opal idol menacing with spikes of red spinel and depicting the the recent rat battle entitled 'the untoward radiant grip'.

The other masterpiece, created by mason Odom Nilnefold, is a jet crown called "Weightrock", it depicts the journey of the migrants to reach our cavernhome. Unfortunately he made this masterpiece in a fit of possession and gains no legendary status from it.

The death toll from the recent rat attacks shall soon increase by one when Rimrek Bimerar finally succumbs to her greivous injuries. We await this day with pleasure, she's been throwing tantrums and generally annoying everyone lately.

Winter has come and though we had much food stockpiled, with this many mouths to feed it's run quite low. We're down to twenty plump helmets. Luckily spring will be here in less than a month. The fields are already flooded and on the first day of spring we shall drain them and set to work.

This will be the first year that we can use the whole capacity of the fields, hopefully it will be enough to feed us all throughout next winter. We're all awaiting orders to start slaughtering horses which we anticipate with every passing day.

Most of us are sitting around with nothing to do. There's no farming work, nothing to haul, nothing to build. Rather boring, the only way to pass the time is to drink and smoke cavegrass, and even that gets old after a while.

Farmer Emtar Rimtaristam has helped somewhat by organizing parties at onyx table. Our dining room is truly a legendary place and a party there is an ejoyable diversion.
