SpoilerLeader thriggle’s horrid little ducklings have finally hatched. Horrible little things, and they never stop quacking. Goose is my least favourite, he is the loudest. I told leader thriggle that he is not a goose, he is a duck. A duck! Leader thriggle insists he is Goose though. It is truly maddening.
To make things worse, leader thriggle has put me in charge of watching the ducklings. This will not stand, I

SpoilerI have done the deed. Goose is dead. He was proving a most terrible creature, even for a duckling. He even attacked me and tore at my journal! He will plague me no longer, and I think the rest of the ducklings have realized now that I am in charge. Unfortunately, Goose’s bones are extremely brittle so I have been unable to make a working crossbow out of them. No matter, I have cleaned up the mess and disposed of the evidence. The perfect crime.

SpoilerLeader thriggle has found Goose’s skull. I had stopped writing in my journal for fear of my actions being discovered, but thankfully leader thriggle quickly decided that a random buzzard was responsible for the crime. I told leader thriggle that if I had a crossbow I could better protect all of the ducklings from other threats.
Leader thriggle seems to have grown closer to me as well, professing me a good friend in this difficult and sad time. I tell myself that I should not feel guilty, that everything seems to be working out for me. My involvement in the murder will go undiscovered.

SpoilerI have lied journal. I was not defending myself, Goose didn’t attack me. I tore half of your page out of rage at his quacking and killed him for it. I swore an oath journal, when I became a doctor. A Dwarfocratic oath. To never kill anything, unless it attacks me first, or I am told to, or I had to, or they deserve it, or they are an elf. Goose wasn’t killed for any of those reasons.
There is innocent blood on my hands, innocent duck blood. I hear his quacks in my dreams now, they wake me up early almost every day and I never want to go back to sleep. I cannot undo the deed.
I am no doctor. I am no dwarf.

SpoilerNew dwarves have arrived. With Schazer busy with the tortoise hunt and leader thriggle making me feel nothing but guilt, maybe they will help me take my mind off of Goose. There is one named ‘Some Donkus’, according to the others, who seems to be calling herself their leader as well as ‘Future Overlord Ashenirons’. Normally it would be good to see someone who does not hide their plans to overthrow leader thriggle but now I feel only regret at the thought of it. Another dwarf, Dizzy, also has a good taste in drink and we had a long discussion about it. The third, Slorange, seems entirely unremarkable as of yet.
Leafsword is now screaming about being outnumbered or something, but when I approached him to see what was wrong he just pointed at me and said I do not count. Does he know of my sin?

SpoilerAt the very least the tortoise is still outsmarting Schazer and leader thriggle. I feel like I should be sympathizing with them but I still can’t support murdering an idol of my god just to eat it. Maybe I could be convinced if they’d give me some better reason.
I am now to help Purple Walrus finish the water tunnel. I don’t know why leader thriggle thinks I can do it as I have no experience, but I suppose I owe her. I owe Goose.

SpoilerTriumph. Despite almost no knowledge in the field I have managed to work with my colleague to get that tunnel working. We now have some sort of sewage system! It’s kind of gross having all of this water around, kind of like living outside like some sort of elf colony.
Now I am off to appraise what goods we have to sell, again under leader thriggle's orders, since a caravan has arrived. Apparently I am only good for looking things over though, I don't have the charisma needed apparently to deal with other dwarves. I'll show her charisma. Somehow.

SpoilerI got too cocky. Shortly after killing Goose and getting the buzzard blamed for the crime, I gaudily decorated it, much like some sort of elf decoration. I should have destroyed it or hid it, but in my guilt I kept it as a testament to my crime. Now it has gotten mixed into the trade goods, and leader thriggle has seen it and has been reminded of the crime and is searching for a new culprit. I hope that our guilt-caused friendship leads her away from suspecting me, but I can no longer afford to be reckless.
Leader thriggle has asked me to take over some management work, since Schazer is unwilling to. I don’t think I can accept it, too much responsibility, and I need to work on covering my tracks.
