Bsnott seems rather off today. In fact, I swear he almost looked sick when I noticed him walking out of Exodius's office. I thought of telling the doctors, but he seemed to have gotten better afterwards. I'm beginning to suspect plump helmet poisoning. I've really got to stop eating those mushrooms.

Life in this fortress is amusing, I tell you. One day Exodius fires my wife and the next he is asking me for help.

Red is not an agent, I guarantee you. The man's been here nearly as long as I have! Unless they sent him here as a sleeper agent or something like that, there is no possible way that he could be working for the assassin we have lurking around our fortress. On that not, why does our mountainhome send these men to do their jobs? Do they not think that if they simply sent a message out that we would jail whoever it was? We respect the mountainhomes, we are not rebels.

Something has struck me lately. Out of these murders, my own was the first. This still does bring a shudder bouncing off my bones, but there is something very strange I have thought about. If there was to be an agent for the laison, how would the laison find him when he needed something? What if when I killed that man, someone took that as a signal to start a bloodbath inside our very homes?

Off of that horrific topic. Octo seems to think that he knows how to dig. My friend, I know how to dig, as I've done it since your beard was barely off your chin! Armok damn his "angles" and his "trajectory". If we need a tunnel to the pumps, I'll dig it! We don't need to hit it at an angle to connect them with the power line.

I have learned of why Exodious has been acting oddly. He has tapped into powers far greater than petty gods like Armok, and has seen fit in his wisdom to take me along for the ride. He had, at one point, used charmed words to convince me to drink from a spring laced with the blood of innocents, and grant me great power. I am now faster, stronger, deadlier, and wiser. I have been given this power by Exodious, and I will use it to defend his just rein against those who would overthrow it.

Spoiler: Gifts and Persuasion, or Why do I need loyalty. (click to show/hide)

I need more friends. It is a fact. Oh, I do have allies, but it is not best option. I need friends or even followers. That is why I have done it. I showed Flameboy the Spring. I told him what it is. But let's go back to the beginning.

~~~~~~~~

'Flameboy, could I have a word with you?'

'Sure, boss, what is it?'

'Would you want to know a little secret?'

'Yes, of course.'

'Follow me.' Flameboy, despite being overseer in his own time and being close coworker of Bsnott, had always been fiercely loyal to me. I do not know why but he always went along with my decisions, sometimes even winning over peasants to my cause. If there is one person who will understand me and my goals it is him. He is vital to our success.

I lead him to the hidden tunnel behind my Bedchamber. When we arrived in the Spring I said:

'What is the eldest entity in whole of existance?'

'Armok, obviously.'

'No, Armok is but a child compared to the Forgotten One. Forgotten One had been there long before any other entity, and what you see here is the most powerful gift he could give a mortal without destroying mortal's petty soul. This is the Spring, a place that grants mortals a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of Forgotten One's power.' I said looking into Flame's eyes unblinking, observing his reaction. I can tell him the truth, he will not tell anyone.

'Why does it looks like blood?' He asked looking into the glowing depths.

'Because it is blood. Blood of animals and dwarves. I know you understand, I know you are loyal to me and the Fortress. I know you will not tell anyone.' I said observing his fear, confusion and... curiosity... with un-shown amusement. He will not betray me.

'Wh-what do you want me to do with it?' Stuttered out Flame.

'To accept its gift, its power. All for you, no strings attached. You do want to be my friend, don't you?'

'Of course I want to be your friend, but this.. this... this is despicable!'

'You will change your mind when you discover how that power burns away your imperfections and leaves pure, unadulterated dwarfdom. Now, Drink! Just one cup, no more. Drink and join me!' I said, feeling my lungs fill with fire and flames. I watched as Flameboy drunk a cup and collapsed on the floor, unconscious. He is now one of us.

~~~~~~~~~

'Remember, no one may know about this place. You and me are the only ones that know how the Spring was made. PK and Octo drunk from it but do not know all the details, and definitely they do not know about the killing that had to be done to bring this place into existence. Feel free to go and get some sleep, you look pale as a ghost.' I said to Flameboy when he awoke. He did not answer, just left my chambers mumbling something to himself. I know he will be loyal

Some Idiot dwarves are starving to death 'cause they are "terrorized" by FB that is behind a wall-.-. I have no idea who is there, roughly half of the fortress did not realize there are THREE MORE FOOD STOCKPILES ASIDE FROM THE ONES BY MAGMA FORGES!

EDIT: I give up, I cannot solve this problem cause apparently we can shoot it THROUGH THE WALL, but only once per month. I guess said wall is a Were-Wall and disappears every full moon. If anyone wants the save go ahead and say it, I have had enough of this bullshit. We have a tantrum spiral so I guess it would be fitting that a person who fixed the original one would leave it on a new one.

EDIT2: Ufff.... I'm better now. But still save is bugged and even though there are ways around it, like opening the caves to outside, it will be death sentence for the fort anyway due to number of FBs down there. I will try to generate a new interesting world to embark in and create a new thread for a new community fortress. If you want to get a dwarf say so and I'll post a link here as soon as that is done.

[exodius1]

I have a perfect site for the new series^^ As soon as I wrap this up I'll make a thread^^ Everyone is invited^^

'Sir! We have a big problem!'

'What is it Flameboy?'

'There is something strange happening to those who venture down the main staircase.'

'What?' I asked suprised. What is he going on about? Is he mad?

'All who go below certain level stop dead in their tracks. I took liberty of sending militia but it happened to them too, with the exception of marksdwarves who randomly shoot at the walls. They seem to be attacking some invisible enemy.'

'Sorry to hear that. Anything we can do?'

'Not really. I think we should just leave them to die there and not send anyone after them.'

'Very well. Please do leave me alone for now.' I said, my voice tired, eyes heavy. I remember falling asleep in my bed. I remember walking downstairs as in a dream. I remember a vision. I remember a voice:

'Good, good! Come to me my Puppet!'Entity before me was terrifying, it looked like a lizard with giant fan-like body part sticking out it's back.'You were a naughty boy, weren't you? You did some horrible things, and all because some book told you to do so.' Its single eye peered at me from above its knobby trunk.'And now you must pay. But you alone are not worth that much.' The Beast continued while vile poison dripped from the corner of it's maw.'This entire fortress will be my feast, their souls belong to me. Thank you for severing the bond that is established between dwarven souls and Halls of Armok. Otherwise I could not eat so well today. I will take their souls, and with it their sanity and eventually life, slowly so they will know who to curse while their bodies turn to dust on the steps of their very home. Oh yes, and you will be my appetizer, along with the others who drunk from the Bloodlife Spring.' With bared fangs creature, now I know it was the Forgotten One, had rushed at me. With flash of silver scales it befell upon my body tearing parts of it away, but at the same time my mortal coil was not damaged. And I stood there. And I stood there. And I stoo.....................

As I said before, if anyone wants this save to see if they can save us all from this soul-eating beast go right ahead and I will send you the save^^

I just want to say I am very happy i could lead this fortress for this thread and i hope you guys got at least some enjoyment out of it^^

Feel free to add your own little endings as well^^

Screaming, all around me. It surrounds, it inhales. Sucking the very air into itself, replacing it with horrible miasma. Chaos is erupting, all that once was is at an end. This fortress is finished, and with it, my tale. My soul will rest in this journal, as these past years have been my worst, and most testing, times of my life.

My wife is still not back, I will go find her.

As promised I give youMurderwheel. Please ask for dwarves over there. First Update is today^^

It's here. But it's not here. It's a giant lizard, with one eye and a trunk, but it's not. I was home, and now I'm awakened and dreaming and sleeping and awakened. But I'm still sane, which is a good thing. I wasn't sane before, I couldn't see the evil of everything. Now I try to kill the evil in everything. When I kill something evil, the evil just becomes something else, and then I kill that too. I'm so thirsty right now. But the brew is evil. The water is evil. This journal is evil. I am evil. Goodbye.
