“Alright Usi... Sorry about the lack of anything for the pain, but you should be good as new in a few weeks, just don't put too much weight on that leg.” Squid said as she handed him a crutch. “No promises on that last bit, but thanks all the same. Can I still swing a pick? Feral wants us to start a shaft mine up in the hill.” Usi asked, as he shakily stood on the crutch. “Oh yeah, just watch your balance. Don't need ya rebreaking anything do we?” Usi chuckled and started on his way when they heard sombody shouting in what sounded like very broken Vamari. The group in the dorm looked out, and saw Skull shouting something about bones followed by more broken Vamari. “Oh shit, he's gone wonky upstairs!” Anvil shouted in horror. “Well what does he want??” Wax asked, understandably worried. “BONES!!!” Skull shouted. “He w-” Splint was cut off as Skull shouted again “AND MORE BONES!!! AND A LOG!!!! IT NEEDS A LOG!!!” The would be the last intelligible thing he said, as none of the group besides Skull himself knew Vamari, which seemed to be what he defaulted to blabbering in as he searched the workshop frantically. The grouip didn't know what to do when they saw Mantis leading a horse and holding the duck that had been nesting among the sugar beetles by it's neck. “Mantis?” One of the others questioned. They'd all voted on keeping that horse to start a small herd for meat and cheese. “He needs bones, he'll have bones.” She replied. Sadly, the duck's death was for naught, as Mantis said it's bones were weak and another source would be needed to save Skull This news prompted Squid and Mattock, who'd been growing very close over the last few weeks, to forgo a reception after Feral headed a wedding ceremony. “What are we gonna do about those bones?” Slase asked worriedly, casting a glance on Skull who was still alternating between shouting and mumbling something in dwarven and then Vamari. It had been two days of this, when it was broken by screaming coming from the dining hall that had yet to be furnished: A child had been born.
The others rushed upstairs to find Mantis dumbstruck holding a newborn with a passed out Cobalt slumped against the wall. “Cobalt says that her name is Frost.” Mantis said hesitantly. “I didn't even know Cobalt was married!” Squid said in surprise. Nobody knew for that matter, as she never seemed that close to anyone in particular. Then it dawned on everyone: The only dwarf here it could be was Skull. “We'll wait a while longer for something to pass through.... If nothing does, we're digging down to get him those bones so he can see his daughter.” Feral said.

“I now pronounce you, man and wife!” Feral said happily three days later. Everyone had been wondering where Mantis and Slade went every so often, and when they announced they;d like to get married everyone was a little surprised, but not shocked. Suddenly Lev busted in shouting “To arms! There's a bird-thing outside! We gotta kill it for Skull!” Mantis and Slade shared a kiss before she grabbed her falchion and shield, Usi, Mona, Wax, and to everyone's surprise, Osprey rushed out. “Osprey, where the hell are you going, you aren't in the-” Feral was cut off when when Osprey drew the daggers he'd taken from the slain kobolds. “Some overgrown land-bird has to be harder than kobold bottom dwellers.” With that, he followed out behind the others, eager for a fight.
[So, Skull is possed, I didn't know he and Cobalt were married so we had a birth, Squid and Mattock, along with Mantis and Slade, got married. All in all, This is going to shape up into one hell of a fightif the others manage to jump the giant Kakapo. And sadly no migrants for Rune and Asea, though we have Frost (named beceause she likes solid elixer of frost) to content ourselves with. Usi's on his feet and didn't even develop an infection! I think. Gonna have to check back on that.]
