Its late autum at middle of Armok-knows-where.
It was long journey but i made it. Even tough my foolish mule died when he was drinking from river to some carp. I was lucky, an dwarfen caravan was passing by and for they were on theyr way to place called Ulolunib. I was "Hey thats where im going!" And they offered to give me ride. Well after two days traveling we get there. I was sleeping end of journey so first i though it was sequel for that horrible nightmare about all the beer barrels empty and only thing we got were elfish wine.. ugh, i say. But back to the state of fort. First thing got my eye (and my nose) were blood. Lots of it.Then there were lot of goblins in gages. And this huge are walled area. Well i jumped down from my ride, thanked dwarfs, while they started to unload their good and i went to ask inhabitants what the hell was going on.
Well it seems that goblins are quite familiar face here. Ambush after ambush, this fort has been quite while under constant harasment of goblins. They sayd that previus overseer were ordered to build that walled area to keep those pesky goblins away. At that point i asked " By the way, where is your leader?" and they answered something about that they were told new leader would come and they were suggesting i were the one. I was little stunned about this and explained that my good friend Urist McFooler sayd that there were nice vacant place for high place job, job that would need only little effort and.. oh im gona get you for this Urist!
Well after some argument and something about "You take this position or you gona go and scout if there is any of those goblins lurking" i accepted, thinking that maybe its not that bad.
First thing´s first i try to get something out of these dwarfen friend. And maan this place in complex. Only thing i have found this far is some fams and huge graveyard. Is all those coffins filled, i dont dare to ask. When i try to get some orders around dwarfes comes yelling me that that foul beast is rampaging only few floors lower. After that he screams and goes to corner sobbing.
Well if im gona die now, im gona do it in most honorable way possible.
I order every dwarf i can find to arms and lead the charge! Zuglar who was near right next to me flews across the room after hit he takes.
More dwarfs comes aid us against, and beast start to take damage from overwhelming wave of dwarfs.
Meanwhile a one of the the dwarfs has been busy and made some ring.
Rampaging beast continues to terroring, and lot of good dwarfs is dead. I try to yell for help from guards of the caravan but they just say thats its not their proplem and continues talking nonsence whit each other.
Situation dosent look good and beast moves onward. I hear some yelling from trade depot and see them departing. Oh yeah, screw them we got everything under control over here.
Dear god, too bad for you, now get to defending the fort!
Beasts roar echoes trough halls while hell just waits for next prey to come to him. Too bad for him few dwarfs we have left are bed ridden and cant move, including myself. I can smell miasma in the air and thus i know the beast is somewhere, i cant ignore my thirst anymore and i start to move. I should know that misfortune would follow me, after only few meters beast charges me. I try to fight back my wounds are too deep and beast is too powerfull for me to defend myself. At brink of my death i whisper my final words "Darn you Urist..".
((Well after some inspection i got bad luck as FB went right after i started trough little tunnel that was forgotted to wall off. Maybe it could be possible to wall off dunno, this short game was fun tough
Few funny things: Right before end, ambush came (wow who would have expect that) but they were killed by traps. And as things can go bad, they usual go bad as some magma monster joined party too at end. I really like that FB picked some miners steel pick axe at start of battle and used that to crush our entire fortress
Well if i found right save, i try again tomorrow unless kytuzian gets something up
