Have cripple (aussi) make a makeshift wooden spear.
Move full speed ahead. Taunt boars with cat on a stick.
Aussi quickly makes something you could call a spear. The cat initially goes on with the plan, but proceeds to betray you and jump onto Urist's car.
+1 tile.
No new cats. However, your kitten does grow up.
Henchdwarves 1 and 2 throw kittens EVERYWHERE around me!
11 of your cats grow up.
You spent the new 10 seconds or so chasing all the kitties
around your car. No new cats are born. Your cats seem sick of the prospect of
giving birth. No new cats for at least 3 turns. No tiles, they were too exhausted. That exhaustion
has temporarily passed now.
THE CHOSEN OF ARMOK! BWAHAHAHA! NO GREATER GLORY COULD A MERE DWARF HAVE EVER HOPED TO ACHIEVE! INITIATE
AGGRESSIVE DRIVING! SHOW THEM THE TRUE POWER OF "BLOOD BULLS", THE VERY PETS OF ARMOK, GOD OF BLOOD. And, if
it's possible, conduct poetic revenge against Wolfchild - AW, WHO AM I KIDDING? BLIMEY BASTARD PASSED US ALL.
IF WE REACH HIM...OH, IF WE REACH HIM, SMASH INTO HIS CART WITH THE FURIOUS RAGE OF A DWARF WHO'S PET KITTEN'S
CORPSE JUST GOT EATEN BY AN ELF!
Whether this fails spectacularly or somehow succeeds, it'll be a pretty good
show!
Your boars are angry enough as is. No speed boost.
They do try and fail to attack Ardul's eagles though. Your boars power through the
snowstorm. +1 tile.Drive Cautiously Fire A rock at the undead.
Cleopatra, Babble inanely at anyone getting close enough to shoot at us
You should drive with your tongue
Umm, sure, why dont you look out of the fortifications and give those nice people advice, look
how far ahead of them we are
*giggle* ok, hey people over there, you go faster backwards
no they should drive sidewards, royal clutz
Back on the pump Stalin, or do you want more magma-meds?
The rock almost harmlessly bounces off a horse. +1 tile. You plow through a thinner section of the horde
that's composed of mostly smaller animals. A few stray body parts also fly off and help clear the path as
well."Hey, Bardum."
"Aye?"
"Do ye know animal care?"
"Cannae say I do. Diagnosis, a wee bit.
"Though, I think I can try, anatomy and wounds are similar, I guess."
Bardul shall try to heal the Eagles or alleviate their wounds. Since he is not an animal caretaker, he shall
just treat the superficial injuries, being a knowledgeable doctor.
Aggressive driving.
"Can they fly?"
"Not feasible, lad. A broken wing entails unsymmetrical patterns, as well as pain."
"Curses."
Meh, going to lose anyway.
Can't seem to do much right now, but here we go. He tears some bits of cloth off his
clothes and wraps them tightly around the wing. It should hold. The
eagles want revenge. +1 speed. +2 tiles. You start flying, although you're a bit
lower than you'd like.
((My kitten-harnessing action seems to have either been unnoticed or annulled. Is it forbidden to upgrade
engines on the fly?))
"Alright, Etur, cease fire! You did good. When we get out of the blizzard, shoot at Doc Aurist!
Shoot his wheels off - with rocks! The cats we'll plug into the harness, and we'll do that right now
!"
Both Etur and I upgrade our cat-harness-engine-thingy by tying every spare kitten into it for massive speed.
Drive normally.
4 cats grow up, and all the cats and kittens get tied on. You notice an immediate increase
in speed.
+2 tiles. No new cats. Now that you can see
wolfchild, you shoot!
It's a direct hit to a wheel! A large part of
the wheel chips off, destabilizing the car slightly.Evil Glacier:

Well, that took longer than expected. Note to self, don't suddenly decide to do a coding project. You're busy
enough. And yes, I actually didn't notice you tying your new cats in before. My bad. I reread this stuff quite
a few times, but it was about 2am and I hadn't slept for quite some time. It wouldn't have made a huge difference as they weren't grown up though. In case you're wondering about the varied amounts of growing up, it takes 2 turns for a cat to grow up. For some reason it's accelerated in this universe.... So, basically, if you feel like metagaming, check how many kittens you had in previous turns to know when they grow up.
