Flame's JournalSo at first, things went well. The necrothreaders decided to kill each other. I sent out the military to kill the remaining zombies and we won, though not without cost.
We got migrants, several waves. They bumped our population up to around 70. I put a few dwarves in the military. I even had enough dwarves to make a whole squad of crossbowmen. I opened up the second cavern because we had no wood and a forumite needed it for a mood.
A forgotten beast got in through the top of the forges - I found the hole afterwards.
Things were pretty calm. I had some bins made and such. A weresquirrel came and infected a dwarf, but said dwarf was killed. I dumped/melted all the junk. I also had roasts made - remember this.
Then the undead showed up.
Well, Pisskop and Dwarfy can handle it, right? They did last time. I'll send them out. Let no man say forumites cower behind their walls! Also I don't think our walls are cower-able. They've got a lot of holes.
Uhhh... Dwarfy is sleeping and Pisskop is oblivious. Oh well, one necromancer already burned himself to death. Pisskop can handle one necromancer and a few zombies, right?
And elves? What?
Oh boy, Pisskop isn't fighting back. He's just dodging and blocking. He's uninjured so far, but experience tells me he'll die eventually. But here comes Dwarfy, to the rescue!
He's getting tired...
He's on the ground now...
His one remaining hand is gone...
The zombies and elves have him surrounded...
Killed by his own disembodied hand. The irony.
Meanwhile, Pisskop is starting to vomit. The sun is getting to him.
The rest of the zombies are ganging up on him now.
He's snapped out of it! But it's too late. He's already paralyzed. It's only a matter of time until he's dead.
They're tearing him up...
He's fallen unconscious!
He finally suffocated. But his sacrifice has brought us time to seal the gates. Let's hope they hold.
...
Oh shit! They're getting in! Send out the crossbowmen! They can use the tunnels to their advantage!
...
The crossbowmen are dying. Despite the hundreds of bolts available, their quivers are empty. They are cut down with ease.
Even in death, our citizens fight for us. The other necromancer is killed by one of his own corpses.
Bim, the half-trained spearman, makes a desperate last stand.
He dies, but he takes a few with him.
Gwolfski spends his last bit of strength taking a zombie with him. A wounded engraver, crawling away, turns back and attacks the zombies chasing a child. Alas, the zombies catch the child anyway. The last two crossbowmen team up to try to kill a zombie with 15 kills, but it kills them both.
I've locked myself in my room and barricaded the door. May Armok have mercy on my soul.
The day seems lost. But not yet. Ingiz had a pick. Ingiz had an enemy. Ingiz had a plan.
Ingiz's pick struck the blue stone. It was slow going. He hadn't had much practice. He hoped the zombies wouldn't find him here. The pick struck an opening.
Ingiz turned and ran. Up the twisting stairs, past the boulders of blue rock already mined, away from the terrible things behind. He turned right when he should have turned left. Something heavy struck him in the back of the head, propelling his corpse thirty feet down the hall.
Engraved on the wall of Flame's roomI fled to my room when the zombies entered the fort proper. I hear screams through the door. The screams are replaced by even more horrible sounds. I hear the breathing of huge things. I hear them smashing furniture. I barricade the door just in case. I think I'm the only one left alive. I think I'll elect myself admin.
...
I'm getting thirsty.
...
Wait... Is that the sound of a pick?

It seemed like a good idea at the time
Hey! That was my idea! Did you use the tunnel I had prepared or was that too well fixed and then subsequently broken and subsequently fixed?
Nah, I had to dig a new tunnel. I don't know what you're talking about.
Well... Flame managed to do more damage then I did... Fuck time to kill flame.
