[Rift]

Olon Logemsazir set out from the stony halls of his ansestors with 6 brave companions. The fortress was to be called Sabresubmerged, so named for the fact it was set near a magna pipe [hence the sabre-crafting], and on a aquifer [ hence the submerged]. There was also a river, and it was surrounded by trees. He led his expedition, never having defeated a aquifer in the past, but the king had told him if he mined near the magna pipe he might be able to break through it. Arriving at Sabresubmerged[SS for short], he quickly set about mining out near the magna pipe with 2 helpers. He ordered another, his lover/wife to start building a wall around the entrance, to keep the fire imps out. Sadly, much to his regret he found out too soon that there were no fire imps...

A scream of terror hits the air, all but Olon quickly ran to help, grabbing whatever tool they had at hand.. but they were too late, they arrived to see Olon's lover on fire, with a skeleton fire imp laughing in glee. They tried to run, oh they did, but it was too little, too late, on the first day of the fortress, a nova of fire and death flew out around the land, quickly destroying everything in its path... The dwarves tried to run.. they failed. A few, managed to run towards the river, while on fire, attempting to put it out, however they all died, just inches from the river, as carnage and death danced around.
Olon heard the screams then.
He still hears them to this day.
Olon came out of the newly made hallway, traveled up the stairs and glanced in shock. Everywhere, there was nothing but ashes.. ashes and the bones of those he cared about. His wife's bones were beside him, not that he would ever be able to tell it was hers.

...And so begins Sabresubmeged, and the story of Olon Logemsazir.

[In all honesty, i had no intention of any of this happening, i tried to recruit the dwarves and get them to flee, but i was not quick enough. only Olon, safe inside the 1-halled fortress survived]

How long will Olon last? alone and surrounded by death?

SS after the firenova

[Rift]

Olon both in fear and to avoid his anguish set about to work on making his new home, hopeing the king would send more men soon. He carved out a mason's workshop and a carpenter's workshop as well as his bedroom. No sooner had he finished it then his emotions could be held back no more. Tears pouring from his eye's he started destroying his workshops, throwing odds and ends around. He kept throwing things around until he grew tired, and fell asleep in his newly made bed. He woke, moderately more happy, only to remember his beloved, he destroyed his own bed in anger. and went outside to look for any food that had no been destroyed by the great fire nova.
 That was when he stumbled across death's next great tradegy for him.
Two skeleton deer's reared up shouting his name "Olon! Deattthhh! Olon! Deattthhh!"
Something in Olon snapped. He stared at them, and his fury filled him, he pulled out his copper battle axe, most recently use to cut trees, and in a single blow took down one deer, and in the next blow decapitated the other. He went to eat, knowing that nothing, not even death's minions, could stop the thing he was becomming.

In a effort to make himself happier, Olon engraved pictures of everything he loved onto his bedroom walls. And set about trying to make a farm plot. It was then he realised that the reason he had been working slowly lately was the lack of alcohol. It seems it all burned up in the flames. Olon threw a few more things around in a effort to calm himself, and got to work building up a farm plot and still. he finished both when tradegy struck once again. A skeleton couger had invaded the fortress, and it pounced upon Olon from behind, crippling him. He managed to bring his pick axe into it's head, but not before losing the ability to move his legs. As he sat there unable to move, and thirst began to get to him, he heard a voice in the distance. It was a outpost liaison! He shouted for help at the top of his lungs.. Instead of someone coming to save him, instead he heard a scream. The liaison was being eaten alive by a pack of skeleton deer. Oh cruel fate!
Olon sat there, with the couger corpse, and hunger began to take it's toll. Miasma began to leak from the couger's body, filling olon's lungs.
There was no escaping it, In Sabresubmerged, in a pile of miasma, with his legs crippled, surrounded by the screams of a outpost liaison and with skeleton deer dancing above him, Olon drew his last starving breath, and died.

And so ends Olon, and his grave that is Sabresubmerged.
