From the journal of "Wolfkit" Towergulfs the Gloved Papers of Permanency, Miner of Skulls
--
The first combat occurs surprising quickly! A group of trolls popped up right next to the fort and are ganging up on pitchblende!
Not sure pitchblende even has a hope right now...
*shudders*
A kobold in the fort? Why do these guys show up at sieges?
Battle begins, and it's hard to keep track of anything in the chaos. NCommander gets knocked down repeatedly by a troll until he manages to bash its head in, then takes on a group of speargoblins. Saber runs off to fight a squad of speargoblins but doesn't get the upper hand and ends up dodging into a pond... Ulborb bites a goblin in the head... The speargoblins try their hands at spearfishing for the ellusive sabertoothed fish...
Then a goblin axe lord attempts to chop my arm off, and I start paying attention to myself. Also, thank the bedrock for armor.
Yes...
While I head back to the main fighting after chasing down a bowgoblin, I notice Saber isn't doing so well. And is still in the pool. And is doing worse by the minute, but I'm distracted by another bowgoblin.
NO!
Enraged by Saber's death, we fight on.
...
I punch through a goblins skull, but I feel guilty about not using my pick. It's okay precious, I didn't mean anything by it...
The battle goes easily after that, though Maxwell Edison loses his left arm.
Unfortunately, Saber's body lies sunk i the water, so we will not even be able to give him a proper burial.
Why did Saber have to die? He was one of our best. The power of overseer and I couldn't save him. And Pitchblende, I ordered him to his death...
Autumn comes, and McIgnobel gives birth to a girl.
I change the military schedule to add 1 month off every 4 months. I think we could use some time off occaisonally to think about things... I do, especially.
I have been given a title by the other dwarves: Regmonom ěrlom, "The Gloved Papers of Permanency".
Microblighted became a legendary swordsdwarf while sparring with Ulborb!
Josh the Hawk withdraws from society...
...and claims a craftdwarf's workshop.
Why do we have the ghost of a dwarven child? What is wrong with this place?
Migrants!
1 stoneworker, 1 strand extractor, 1 miner, 1 wax worker, 1 woodcrafter, 1 fish cleaner. Only 6, and not one with military experience. Well, at least the miner might come in handy
It's worth 74,400☼.
Umm.... What in the name of granite does this even mean? Sigh, guess I'll qeue up ANOTHER slab to be engraved.
.
How many goblins must we kill for them to get the message?...
(OOC: Sorry about dissappearing for a while. There were a number of contributing factors ranging from lowwer FPS than anticipated to Borderlands 2 to math homework to losing my wallet. (I did get it back, but not until after I canceled my cards.) I'll finish my turn up this weekend though.)
