This post is to thank Toady for having awesome things like this possible, as well as to memorialize Moldath Torchlights the Bodice of Bewitching. He has won the dwarven seal of kickass.
In 267 Moldath joined The Copper Picks in Sandfortunes.
In 270 Moldath suffered a 'training injury' while sparring with a giant cave crawler. The doctor handed him a crutch and told him to get back to work. That same year he slayed Ngordax the forgotten beast.
In 271 Moldath became militia captain and received a lesser dwarf to train. That same year he mortally wounded the cat brute Mothram, the leader of a goblin siege.
In 272 Moldath was slain by snakerain, a chicken spawn of the under-magma.
He has eight notable kills; 4 goblins, a troll, a forgotten beast, a cat brute, and a ghost of shadow. Three other kills are a giant toad, a banshee of steam, and a fire phantom.
Now this isn't much for a dwarf, but what makes Moldath so special is his 'training' injury that he received before combat. A cave crawler grabbed him by his left leg and ripped it off, making him the first one legged dwarf to serve in my military. That didn't stop Moldath though, he refused medical treatment and picked up a crutch, his warhammer, and his shield and went down to the caverns to slay Ngordax the leaping antelope. The goblins laughed at him when he entered the battlefield, but it was Moldath who always had the last laugh. Mothram the cat brute snickered at him when they engaged in one-on-one combat, but it was Moldath who snickered over Mothram's bleeding corpse. Rumors have that it took hundreds of dark spawn to take down Moldath, and even then it was only because one had spit in Moldath's eyes.
May Moldath be remembered throughout history alongside Cerol Atisnikus the one-handed farmer! And may their memories spawn many tasteful jokes about goblins and cripples
"How many dwarves does it take to defeat a legion of goblins?" "Only .8"
