-We were fortunate in that it only slew a military squad vessel and her useless baby vessel.
Really?
In other words- They just killed Saint one of the previous overseer and the wife of the "soon to be overseer" aswell as their only son...
Fortunate...
Once the bloodshed was over the hills of Murdermachines went silent for a few moments, as if the land itself was mourning the horrible deed. But the invaders did not even get a chance to celebrate their victory because as quickly as the almost serene atmosphere had arrived it was instantly crushed by the roar of a single dwarf charging towards a certain death. Some say that it is difficult to differentiate between bravery and stupidity but I'd rather claim that they are one and the same, it all depends on the outcome. What drove the lone dwarf to act that day we may never know- Was it rage, a deathwish or perhaps fate? I guess in hindsight things like motivations or reasons doesn't matter as history will remain the same whether one is a hero blessed with the will of Armok or a rampaging lunatic.
The dwarf infront of them might've been a menacing sight for a lone goblin- bigger then most and with a desperate look on the verge of madness. But there was three of them, what could he possibly do? They grasped their filthy weapons firmly and assumed position to deal with the incoming threat. A moment of anticipation before copper struck iron, wills clashed and more blood spilled out over the the dense patches of sawgrass. The dwarf fought with the strength of a madman more resembealing a threataned animal then the axe-wielding warrior he still was but his valiant struggle did not matter as the greenskins with their superiority in numbers managed to crush his foot and force him down on the ground.
This is the point were one would think the story would come to an end, the expressions upon the goblins faces had already turned from a state of battle hardened focus into big grins of malice. It seemed as if they had won yet another battle, the victory was within their grasp...all they had to do was to reach out and grab it. There was a moment of hesitation, not because they felt pity for him nor because they were afraid. Simply because they felt such satisfaction looking down upon their defeated foe as he took his last trembling breaths.
Just as the final blow was about to be delivered Prosnorkulus rekindled his will to fight and rose to his feet, the goblins what caught by surprise and as the their enemy now towered up above them they were put in a state of chock by the ferocity of the axedwarf. Slaughter commenced and the ambushers soon found themselves being mutilated much like they had mutilated their victims, perhaps one would call it justice? Justice can be a cruel thing.
After the fight was over the dwarf dropped down his knees in a pool of blood which origin was impossible to deduce. The rest of the goblins who were scattered across the area took their leave and soon the other dwarves began emerging from their hole, everyone but the overseer who was still hiding in a dark chamber somewhere. Prosnorkulus was met as a hero and for his deeds the axewielding dwarf was given the ill-fitting name Spearhero, it seems that stupidity might be a shield aginst insanity as the members of Murdermachines who aren't mad are clearly retarded. During the feast that came upon the following day much was said about Prosnorkulus heroic acts but even that discussion was outshone by complaints over the previous overseers cowardice. Even though Prosnorkulus did not attend the feast he was elected overseer, but there was not many objections as the dwarves of Murdemachins were still drunk off the intoxicating fumes of victory(and rum).
Meanwhile Prosnorkulus is going insane from grief but not a single tear is shed as his simple mind could never comprehend emotions to such an extent that it would trigger a sensible reaction, instead he tackles this new and confusing feeling in the only way he can think of...fistfighting
This goes on for quite a while before he is calmed down by his old sparring partner Derm.
Week 1 end.
