How far in did you get?
Do you want to pass it on to someone else?

[Reudh]

Yeah, until I get a cooling mat (money is very low) I don't think I can play much on this computer. I don't want to risk my CPU burning out, as I simply cannot afford to replace it.

So probably best to pass it along...

[Crossroads Inc.]

No worries, might as well trying to contact next person on the list.

[melkor]

reudh how is the weather looking near you right now, if you think that it will be cool enough for the weekend that go and play.

but if you think that it will be to hot again that il contact lich to say that its his turn.

btw did you play at all or can he use the last save, if not than upload it.

[Reudh]

It's been at the absolute coolest in the late 20s, but for the most part late 30s in Celsius. It will be cool enough to play on the weekend, but I'm doing kitchen reno most of that time.

[Crossroads Inc.]

It sounded like you did get a fair bit of construction done Reudh, interested to know what you accomplished

[Lich180]

Finally starting to thaw out in the forbidden north here, hoping to see an update soon.

[Reudh]

Update is coming, now that I've managed to pull myself out of the depression i've been feeling lately.

Hooray! For you and the story!

[Reudh]

In my continued wanderings of the fort, whereby I am working out how to apply my skills to run this place the best, I came across this gem.



I feel that Bomrek's depiction of Noface is a little cultish... I mean, the "Beige Messiah"? I'm pretty sure Noface isn't beige. Actually, I don't think anyone's seen his face, so who can see or tell?

The situations with our stocks seemed dire, until I took a closer look.




Anywho, I am presented with the latest goings-on in the fort, neatly appended to a list of complaints about a lack of hair or some such thing.




Looking over the stone stockpile and how efficiently it is set up is amazing. Truly, a feat of engineering.




But, as I said - I have a surprise for our local werelizard - a troll by the name of Azstrog.
Three squads ready to pounce should the troll try to make a break for it - I have set up a pitting zone to drop the troll on top of Zefon. If Zefon wins, then we have a ready execution chamber for POWs, and if Zefon loses then we have a slight problem, but one easily remedied. Zefon should not lose, because Azstrog cannot bring its full strength to bear - it has a broken right arm and is missing its left hand.

[Reudh]

I receive the news that Zefon has transformed back into a dwarf. This is not good.



Squads are on standby if she fails to kill the beast.


But like a demon possessed, Zefon leaps upon the troll, scratching, kicking, punching and biting like I have never seen.


The troll is left considerably worse for wear from her assault, and only managed to grab her once, but then lost its grip.



Zefon, in contrast, is yet to receive a single injury.

Watching closely, the troll becomes angry, and with its remaining good hand picks Zefon up and flings her across the room, bruising her legs a little. She responds with a kick, shattering its remaining good hand, and then promptly gets flung in the air again, but this time landing on the troll, stunning them both. Zefon recovers first, and lets out a veritable barrage of hits, which fail to do much but bruise the monster's muscles and spleen, but evidently this is enough to make the troll pass out.

Zefon lets out a huff, and retreats to the end of the room. She runs at it again, pummeling the prone Troll's skull with her fists, bruising it but failing to punch through. The troll remains inert. The troll realises that someone is trying to kill it, wakes up, only to be bit on the leg by the manic Zefon.
With its broken hand, it swats her off its leg, then panicking, it tries to break down the door. Zefon is huffing and puffing behind it, but her bruises have healed.


Even in her unarmed, unarmoured dwarf form, our Werelizard is a sight to behold.

The pummelling on the door makes the beast pass out from pain again. Zefon gives up on the fight and begins running in circles, while the troll lays broken and slumped on the door, bleeding and crying.

[WillowLuman]

The last overseer would have just thrown the troll in our lava trap, but gladiatorial events are always fun. Try not to get Zefon killed, though.

Wait, why is there a gap in the wall between Zefon's room and that other bedroom? That seems dangerous.

[Reudh]

That was there at the start of my turn, I think. They're both sealed off.

[melkor]

nice update good to see we are moving forward.

we should make a big arena for fight, since this is the mountain-homes.
another thing to ad on the list of great structures.

[Lich180]

I'm rooting for our resident werelizard, as dangerous as she might be she could come in handy for something
