Heheh guess Highzealot got away with killing the unlucky vampire then. 'Gaming the system is half the game!'

Also that drawing is excellent, shows how DF does horrible things no matter what you mod into it.

[Totaku]

First Month of Spring Day 1

With my turn finally in place, I decided to go and get some rest; I knew the big day was coming up, and I needed to prepare for what was ahead… At the same time, I needed to look at the road that was paved over the course of the fort's past years.

To my surprise it seems we have a lot to contend with….

There are 34 of us now… 11 of us are children… the remainder are adults capable of work.

What we had before us were…

The Great Zombie Siege on the surface… 100 + zombies roaming around looking for blood. We are outnumbered practically 4 to 1 when we exclude the children…

Underground, a giant beak-less mockingbird that secretes a strange substance lurks in waiting….

In addition, we have undead Orinrin Hakutakus underground. We have threats at all angles, but in order to deal with them we need a plan.

Our supplies seem to be a bit difficult to obtain, but I think it can be done… I'm gonna nap now… deal with the problem once I get up…

First Month of Spring Day 11

I began by deciding to recruit Arashi Kurobara into the Military, as he was merely doing nothing in the fort. He seems quite skilled so I decided he could serve a much better purpose being trained by the others in the military...

First Month of Spring Day 12


I Proceeded to set up military in position for a risky but simple mission. There was an Inaba corpse sitting in the front that needed to be removed from the area before I could begin the core part of the zombie cleanup operation. By doing this, I may be able to calculate the military's strength…

I proceeded to open the gate and let them in. And thus the military attacked right away, which showed promise… Sadly, by the end of the fight, Arashi Kurobara had died in the hands of the Inaba zombies…

I gave orders for the team to proceed to haul the bodies to the corpse dump pile...

First Month of Spring Day 13


A mysterious death had taken place inside the fort. A child was killed by something, but it was unknown what it was. The troops scouted around until they spotted an Inaba hand that managed to reanimate.

They proceed to attack it, and Syanas, managed to get some of her teeth knocked out. Other than that, the threat was eliminated and the part was safely dumped.

First Month of Spring Day 20

All dead bodies accounted for, Hideiki was relived from duty since he was complaining of being thirsty. As it stands right now, the Zombie extermination count stands at 30,  Suika Death count is at 5. Not that bad, to be honest. Most of the deaths were from children who decided they wanted to play under the bridge at the time when the zombies wanted to come eat them… serves them right for not listening to orders….

First Month of Spring Day 30

I started work on mechanism for the construction of the another project I had in mind, and layed out plans for the building of the new training room which will compose of 3 areas. One which will serve for basic training… one that will serve for archery…. and one more… that will be a surprise… even the military themselves might not understand….

Second Month of Spring Day 1

Hideki complained to me about going back to the switches. so I decided Wymar would take on switch duty instead.
His reaction timing was a bit debatable though…

Second Month of Spring Day 12

How did a zombie parsee get in here?! The fort is still in lock down so it can't be possible except through the bridge gauntlet and I'm pretty certain nothing passed through there. high zealot was the first to confront the parseekkuri and take it on, but she was soon overpowered. The team managed to get to her but sadly by the time they killed it, it was too late. She had gone to the great Suika in the sky to become one with her once again.

There was only one thing to do since the corpse was in a dangerous location… Flip the switch!

Sooner or later we will have to make a memorial for you once again…


Second Month of Spring Day 18

We're splattering zombies constantly now, and we're doing very well to be honest. We're now down to roughly 135 in the record.

Don't know how many are part of the siege, but I'm certain the ones we must watch for are the Inaba. They seem to all be part of the siege. Sooner or later this menace will be over..

Last month of Spring Day 1

The miners have successfully dug out most of the area for the new training facility. All's looking well at the moment. But I'll have to wait 'till after they are done before I can begin the next step of the program. In the mean time, I'll be working on doors.

Last month of Spring Day 10

You know what, I want to know if what my cousin did was fun…. when the crew opens the gate to lure the zombies in… I'm making a run for it… I've been waiting to do this for a long time… I must do this!!

Last month of Spring Day 11

Mayor Patchy's Notes:

A Strange thing happen that day, the levers were pulled as usual to lure the zombies in as Totaku commanded only the next thing to occur right afterward was that Totaku made a mad dash to the outside.

"Totaku what are you doing?!"

"I'm going do what my cousin once did! Play Tag with the zombies!!! I must experience this feeling!!!"

That very moment, he made a dash to the other end ignoring our orders to turn back, and grabbed an Inaba's foot and yanked it completely off of the undead corpse.

"This will bring me luck!"

And those last words we heard from him before he ascended up the stairs… I have no idea what possessed his mind to do this, so I have given everyone the orders to try and make an opening and lure Totaku back in.

Last month of Spring Day 16

Mayor Patchy's Notes:

Our attempts to lure him back to the inside have not be successful. We open one gate, the zombies start heading torward it, we open the other, and the proceed to that. It's almost impossible to get him to come back. To make matters worse, apparently the slime is taking it's toll on his body….

I hope he returns soon….

Also we got word that some strange creature is on the loose underground. A quadruped made of salt and a shell that shakes... sounds kind of scary...

Last month of spring of 25

Mayor Patchy's Notes:

We got word that our leader, Totaku, died as expected - doing what he seem to be enjoying the most… playing tag with the undead… this was indeed insane…. but nonetheless I guess I'll be putting myself in his position for a while and cleaning up Totaku's desk in the next few days.

In the mean time, I've ordered everyone to proceed to work and to stay by the levers since it seems working in numbers is way more effective.

Last Month of Spring Day 30

Mayor Patchy's Notes:

This day almost ended in near disaster as a human corpse made it pass the traps and by passed the team but thankfully are military made short work of him.

I went ahead and cleaned up Totaku's desk only to find a note…

"To those that find this, I am probably already dead, I have decided that it was important to learn to enjoy the thrills in life and I long yearned to see the surface once more, even at the cost of my life. But I had made preparations in advance…

I've already contacted my second cousin and hopefully if he manages to makes his way here and survive, pass the gourd onto him. He will likely be able to keep things going. He's much like me in many ways, and he too would be interested in my plans. Please be sure to give him these…

I look through the notes and find what Totaku has been writing about….

It's practically down right disturbing. He claims that the Great Suika in the sky told him that the hermit's wishes were to make the dead into a tool which we can use…

But how can one harness the dead?! They're dangerous and mindless husks! Is he downright insane?! Or is the he been driven mad by wanting to fulfill the wish of a hermit? If such an entity exists, she must not be a very nice person to have said such things. Any fool that would say such things would drive a Suika insane in due time….

And there was one more note… sketches to a plumbing system, but they were all hard to read… so it was difficult to say if they were even possible… but apparently it had something to do with pumping magma and water… This might be a good solution to making the fort more useful… but do we have the suika power to do it?

I'm not sure what's going on, but I know one thing is for sure…. thankfully Totaku's prediction was right about one thing… the siege came to an end…. thankfully after a season's worth of time and effort…. Hopefully the summer will bring us plenty of more things to come….

Welp that's it for the Spring report.... Highzealot died, I died, Arashi Kurobara died, and a bunch of meaningless children got crushed.... but in the end the seige has been vanquished.... So mission complete?

Hopefully my descendent will come in sooner or later... I don't mind playing as Mayor Patchy, but I would like to start getting Suikas sooner or later...

Also no drawings cause the events seem a bit plain to me....

Edit: Special thanks to NekoRex for proofreading, as I usually have no time. ^^;;

[highzealot]

Meanwhile some where in the warp.

I died...AGAIN. What is this, the third time now? Sooner or later the great Chaos Gods will get bored with me and I'll stop being revived...or worse. They might give me to Slaanesh!

[Nyotor Lizardhammers]

Are you planning to make an unliving archery range, Totaku? That suddenly came to mind as a good idea. Jus make sure to have a bridge you can pull up so that your soldiers don't stand there forever trying to kill the zombies.

[Patchy]

Oh, I'm the mayor now? Hope my mandates aren't too bad.

Well at least the siege is lifted for now, maybe get some new migrants soon.

[Darvi]

I don't remember if it was you or not, but the mayor during my turn liked doors really much.

[Nyotor Lizardhammers]

I don't remember if it was you or not, but the mayor during my turn liked doors really much.

Sounds like the best kind of dwarf

[Totaku]

Ok time for the summer report! Also I want to correct one error... Patchy isn't the mayor, it's Patchouli... Which I'll admit it's easy to get confused since they are both named after the same Touhou character... but yeah sorry Patchy... ^^;;


First month of Summer Day 9
Patchouli's Notes:

According to the notes left by Totaku, I have been given orders to do the following, get full body armor of copper ready so that the army at least has some kind of armor to use, get gummy strings ready to be made into candy weapons. and to prepare the military room. I still question the intention of this room, but for now I will just let the crew do their thing.

First month of Summer Day 17

Patchouli's Notes:

The ghosts of the suikas of those that had died on the surface are starting to appear and pester other Suika in the fort.

 I've decided that we must put them to rest, so I've given orders to have them tombs made in their honor…. Hopefully this will resolve the issue or spontaneous heart attacks among our ranks.

Second Month of Summer Day 1

Patchouli's Notes:

We got word that some Suika migrants have arrived despite the danger of this land! This must be the people Totaku mentioned about would come. We must get them inside as soon as possible. I have ordered the bridge to be dropped outside in the safest areas to get the Suikas to come inside.

Second Month of Summer Day 10

Patchouli's Notes:

It seems the attempt have failed as the Suikas are currently being chased by the undead. This calls for a group effort. I've ordered everyone to abandon their post and get to the switches to put them in quick succession to get the bridge to open and close when needed to crush the threats as they come into the fort.

Second Month of Summer Day 11

Patchouli's Notes:

Gappy withdrew from society, talking about making some invention and ran off to the masonry where she started gather stones and metal. We left her to do her thing while we continued to work with the switches.

Second Month of Summer Day 12

Patchouli's Notes:

I must get some of them inside!  The zombies outside are guarding the fort entrance and refusing to let them in. There is little we can do if sit like this. I've decided to send the militia to the surface. It is our hope, if we want to get any of them in here. They'll all become victims of the dead if they remain out there.

It wasn't long after they reached the surface that our small squad managed to make work of the zombies that blocked the entrances. I was rather impressed with their effort. Most notable was Scotty who manage to single shot kill most of the undead that were outside.

Second Month of Summer Day 17

Patchouli's Notes:
The militia's effort paid off. We got 5 of  the migrants inside out of 15, and one of them was Totaku the III. I decided to have a meeting with him as soon as he entered.

"So you're the one that our previous overseer mentioned?"

"Yup I got a message saying that he needed my help so I thought I come by to see if I could lend a hand. I didn't know it was that bad out here."

"Oh trust me, it's been worse, but we have been pretty much stuck in this predicament here for as long as we settled here."

"Heh, well from what I can see here, I might be able to do something about the matter so count me in!"

"Then here, take these note your kin left behind and the gourd that we passed upon him!"

She looked over the notes to what was being given upon her to do and her face brightened up with excitement.

"I knew she had many great idea, but to know that she is still listening to the great Suika in the sky is great!" I think these plans need to be put together as soon as possible! I'm gonna go get some booze and get started!"

And with that she took off to head down to the drinks… At least my responsibilities are over… however I can't help but look at Syanas. She looked like a total wreck. Maybe zombie depression syndrome runs in her family.


Second Month of Summer Day 21

Gappy got all the items to begin construction on her project. I wonder what end up making? Hopefully it'll be worthwhile… All we know is that she used slate, tetrahedrite, oval and square slate cabochons, gabbo blocks, and earth spider silk. Weird combination if you ask me.

Second Month of Summer Day 22

Dr. Purvis the II (one of the new members) to arrive has treated Syanas from her injuries, all she had was blisters from being caught in the slime rain. She's returned to her duties, but is still feeling very depressed…

Second Month of Summer Day 25

Purvis has been diagnosing the patients. So far, one child had suffered from a fractured rib due to a zombie attack, while most of other patients who were exposed to the slime were dismissed with only minor blisters. Omba's condition has yet to be diagnosed.

We also got word that one of our militia members, Scruffy has gone missing. We haven't heard from him a week following the attempt to protect the fort from the zombies the were preventing the migrants from entering…

Last month of Summer Day 2

Omba's injuries were diagnosed, her right hand was damaged badly, it needed surtures, dressing and immobilization. She's likely not going to be using that hand for a while, so she's going to be using her left hand to wield her mace from this day forward. At least her hand wasn’t completely gone.

Last month of Summer Day 7

Gappy finally created the artifact she wat trying to create...
It was a mechanism.... well on the bright side, the gear seems to have alot of our history on it...


Last month of Summer Day 10

Omba's injuries have been taken care of. She will now return to the military to continue her training.

Last month of Summer Day 12

Human Caravan has arrived. It looks fairly light, so they should arrive fast, but I will need to make sure they get in safely.

Last month of Summer Day 18

An ambush! And they took out the caravan in the cursed lands… it seems the biokkuri are determined to stake their claims even if it means becoming part of the dead. Sometimes I wonder what possessed their minds to do such things. Perhaps even their brains had been addled far too much?

Last month of Summer Day 24

Once again, the new Syanas has fell victim to zombie depression syndrome, it seems like a family curse if you ask me… she just moping around looking depressed as ever,and I don't think there will be much we can do… All I can hope for is that she moves toward the safe zone so we can lock her in…. otherwise I'll be busy trying to make use of our new team I'm putting together…

Last month of Summer Day 30

Things are still going slow, however I think we are about to make some serious headway with our equipment and gear.

I've made preparations for the military room. The base part of it is almost set. And I shall have the squad ready to perform work duty in it as of this fall.

Sadly the ambush resulted in the biokkuris and humans boosting the zombie population again which will mean I will be sending someone to perform bridge smashing duty again...

[Darvi]

Bay 12 forum is out so I can't post it there at the moment....

Brb choking on my laughter.

[Nyotor Lizardhammers]

Too bad we don't have anything living to justify cutting up with candy axes vOv

Silver Hammers are probably better

[Syanas]

We could always just have the military patrol the safe zone. Anything that dies there stays dead. Plus beheading the undead is a lot easier than flattening them.

[Patchy]

Ok time for the summer report! Also I want to correct one error... Patchy isn't the mayor, it's Patchouli... Which I'll admit it's easy to get confused since they are both named after the same Touhou character... but yeah sorry Patchy... ^^;;

Not a problem. Kind of figured it was Patchouli since my original died a turn or 2 back and was replaced. Didn't think she'd have time to make the friends neccesary to get elected.

Oh and love this pic, did you draw it?

[Syanas]

I'm pretty sure I've lost 3 incarnations to depression, and another coming soon.

[Nyotor Lizardhammers]

Oh and love this pic, did you draw it?
[/quote]Totaku's drawn almost everything in the thread so far that's not a screenshot :V

[Patchouli]

We have a very high concentration of Patchou compared to other characters on this forum.
