We're well into summer now and things have greatly improved! We have a dormitory with beds, a dining hall, our crops are in full swing, and our first wave of migrants have arrived. Even if none have useful skills, that's manual labor to let the rest of the team do the important stuff.
....I forgot to hit send on this, I must have been going to say something else. #dwarffortress #alensazir
I've made some good progress on setting up a crafting and food infrastructure and on fortifying our settlement, so right now while everyone is taking a break seems to be a good point to save and go do some other important stuff. #dwarffortress #alensazir https://tootplanet.space/media/8s_9jnq6XhtgFmpf6S8
That was a while ago actually - everyone's been busy setting up crafting workshops and digging for new gems.
A trade liason from the Mountainhome showed up with a trade caravan, as well, with some requests for things they especially want. #alensazir
To my chagrin, the caravan did not have a single axe I could buy. I traded for some other things and will just have to get Nomal to brush off her hitherto unused weapon-making skills to make an axe.
I'm not sure why I didn't think of this before... #alensazir
I discovered I need more pigtail seeds and am frantically trying to get Minkot back over to the depot to try to trade for some and some migrants decide this is the time to arrive.
I think... it's time to save for the night. >.> #alensazir

The first wave of migrants included two children, since two of the migrants appear to be a couple and have brought their daughters with them. Checking in with them, I have realized that we have no eating or drinking vessels...
At least we have tables and chairs to eat the food at? Although not enough, apparently.
We really need some merchants to come by so we can buy a new logging axe, since Dr. Nil lost the one we brought within the first week.
