Dear Goblin Papa! We have very little money, but a lot of children! Come on, the next time you play dice, you going to bet a kids, otherwise they're going to starve to death!

The next day...

Dear Goblin Mom! Today I played dice with other goblins and won!
Oh, dear Goblin Papa! So we have extra money now?
No, Goblin Mom! Now we have extra children...

As the third year fully arrived, the Enclave's territorial expansion seemed to be reaching its limits. Both that the lands they sailed were already occupied and somewhat settled and there was less virgin land. There were still some options, maybe to take a region or few from monsters or maybe agree with current land owners for their underused mines or trade routes but these seemed marginal now.
On other hand, even the writing department seemed to have reached of how many regions they could effectively communicate, writing orders and considering replies as a bureaucracy grew. 
So the council decided that it is now time to improve production capabilities and in near future to stop providing partners with wood but rather ready made products whatever they requested, be they longbows or longships or other long wooden items.

We are now number one in the world for livestock! This is because we can't move the cattle to market fast enough. Also we have no idea how many MEAL are in the world, as every time we try to produce some they get eaten in preference to GRAI or LIVE. It's as if the soldiers prefer ration packs to roasting lumps of raw meat over a campfire or cooking up porridge in their helmets.

We are rebuilding after the Yeti drove us out last month. We
wonder where the Yeti went? Can they swim? Can they get into
the town? I wonder whether it is worth training a militia?
                                       --Wuttlic, Andjodhelt

There are more livestock in  the world than grain per world.
Is this  because we prefer bread  to meat, so eat  the grain
first? Or is it because the  cowboys have a strong union and
won't allow quartermasters to drive livestock to market?
                        --Nali, Nanotha's Student, Ersatrork

Our treasurer tells us that squirrels are no longer the most
populous Drow  faction. The  underworld is  getting crowded.
Does this mean the surface is now less crowded?
                                      --Kuga Aspak, Futbele

Flying squirrels are  not in fact capable of  full flight in
the same way as giant birds or dragons, but they are able to
glide from one tree to another with the aid of a patagium, a
furred  skin membrane  that stretches  from wrist  to ankle.
They are  cared for by  their mother  and by five  weeks are
able to  practice gliding skills  so that by ten  weeks they
are ready to leave the nest.

Only thing of consequence this month is that one region we thought we could produce iron in doesn't actually have any iron. Fortunately, weapons go for a lot in the town, so that will be our target.

Initial experiments with the newly discovered Prialto swamp mushrooms prove interesting. They appear to have a certain calmative impact witnessed by the formerly obstreperous General Guffaw negotiating peace treaties with his own boots.

Peasant: 'Magic' wagon you say? Can it make things disappear or tell me what number I'm thinking of?
Saleself: Er... no, but it is useful for transporting heavy loads.
Peasant: Like a normal wagon then? Only more expensive?
Saleself: Well, yes ...

The Pied Piper was back to the usual grind. Lutes needed tuning, songs need writing... 
he missed the surf and sun holiday he had just had.

Now more pressing things were at hand. his first town was about to be taken, if all went to plan. too long in the coming.

Flames twist down the edge
Crimson runes burn bright and clear,
A scabbard quenches.
There are mountains with no attached volcano.
