MurderMachines: After the Fall (34.11 succession fort reboot)
« on: September 27, 2015, 12:07:16 am »

Quote from: Ringo, Sheriff of MurderMachines
The Void god, Anima Rytak had fallen, succumbing to the malicious and corrupting toxin of the voidspawn he had fought for so very long. He felt the madness flow into his scarred and numb mind. He didn't try to stop it, no he didn't try to stop it at all. He relished the relinquishment from determining friend from foe and as many thralls had he began to turn on all indiscriminately. With his tremendous power he slew many of what were once friend and foe. However the dwarves of MurderMachines were nonplussed and with scarcely a word began the epic battle with AnimaRytak, wielder of hammer of slade and sword of adamantine. Madness in their own comrade's eyes struck fear into even these, the near demonic dwarves who had already faced death so many times and come back feigning triumph, but in truth the losers in the end. So at the order of Sabertooth, whose job it was then to oversee and command the fortress as per the ancient laws of such affairs, the entirety of MurderMachines' military, including myself battled and slew the Void god. The proclaimed leader of that realm of oblivion was returned to it, perhaps never to return... Thus ends the epic and epoch of MurderMachines the Blood Citadel. Yet, the story does not end there. The next chapter has yet to be born and time will tell what new battle and blood will fall out amongst us all who have lived many lives through the sacrifice of these dwarves - I'm near certain that they are happy with this. Until that day we await here. That is another story. This is the story of what occurred after the "fall" and diminshing of MurderMachines. It began with myself and a strange mood I fell under.  As many dwarves before have been possessed by some force internal or external to begin constructions of legendary providence, so to did I feel the deep, dwarven urge as if it had always been imprinted upon my soul and I had been born a dwarf in my first life as in all subsequent. While some worked with stone, some worked metal, some wood, some bone to make the outpouring of their soul this was not enough for me and my deep thirst and ambition. I saw it, as if a vision, the mountains were my canvas! The sweat of dwarves my paint! As to dwarves all over the call has been made and heard I would answer with zeal my call to greatness! I would take this bloodstained hall of arcane riches and make it mine! While the souls of those who had been here since the beginning sought entrance and egress they too were called and felt the drum beat within their soul! No, not to war! To industry! To DWARVENDOM! HERE we make our paradise! HERE we make our destiny! Here we answer the call and carve our names not only into the legends of this world, but to all others were dwarf strikes anvil! Now hear my call, brethren! To arms! Stoke the forges with the blood of the earth itself and forge mechanisms for another great project the likes of those sung in worlds to come! We shall be here remembered and we shall live even the lowliest of us like the highest of kings in all the lands of this world! We shall bend water, stone, iron, magma, and nature all to our will and we shall carve our likeness into the mountains! Are you with me!? Stand up! Roar in our tongue what wonders we have wished for in our greatest suffering and let us quash all enemy and make the ultimate mountainhome. The final great mountainhome for adventurers to wonder upon in centuries to come! If I move on from this world, it shall only be in satisfaction that my work is complete and it will be only by your hands that it will be so. Do it for Raptor who has already fallen and been struck by the resistance of this mountain against us and caused you all to grumble against my rule. Know that I am not alone in this endeavour. Do it as much for yourselves as for me and as much for me as for yourselves. For then we will truly be among the greatest of all legends.

Co-sequel to the legendary MurderMachines, itself of the epic Deathgate saga!

See here for more information about the official third chapter, thus far known as Slaughterhelm, which will be a DF2015 fort. ( 2016 if the update is a bit late. )

Our TV tropes needs updating!

Yeah, okay, I'll take a turn. We can keep playing as long as possible - because of how the fort ends in canon, the only requirement is that we end on one of my turns.

How does it end? I was intending this to be after your canonical ending? o.o Also, I've been logging in primarially video form.

Here's how the first half of spring went, pretty much.

I'll also write up a report later, but I prefer to play rather than record of late.

I'm not telling  :P

But you've read the rest of the end, just not the end's end. The important part is that Flame is overseer during the final battle.

I feel like I could save Murdermachines if I was given the save permanently. How's it going?

Work was really busy this month since I'm setting up all the tech. ( October was my first month. ) Then I got a RuneScape membership for two weeks and on my off days I was playing that. Today's my last day of RS membership and tomorrow's my last day of work for the week. So today, Thursday, and Friday, I'm planning on tackling the remaining seasons of the year and twitch streaming it. I'll have links up in about 20 mins. I'm also gonna record it in Camtasia and upload it to Youtube as well for those who miss the stream. But I'm starting now. :)
