At this point, the master speardwarf grabbed his freshly forged adamantine spear, leapt into the air and struck the tortoise in the shell. It broke apart...

Is it really bad that, given the general context in which this occurred, I first parsed this "it" that broke apart as referring to the adamantine spear rather than the shell?

Next mission: Make a Gigantic Tortoise shell spear!

So, the more something weighs the more impact when dropped, correct?

please drop a tortoise on a goblin (or elf) for me...

God help me if I could capture and train War Sponges, to post along the border of my map.

I feel quite certain that this is the first time I have ever seen the phrase "War Sponge."  (Which would make a good band name, come to think of it.)

The things that come up in this game . . .

Good proposition! I like the name. Either a brand, or a band...

And I might have to drop a tortoise on someone. They probably won't take any damage.

What amuses me, is imagining what the dwarves were saying while all this was going on.

Overseer: Quick!  To arms!
Militia commander: What's going on? Berserk dwarf?  Goblin ambush?  Werecreature?  Forgotten beast?
Overseer: There's an enormous tortoise loose in the dining hall.

/Monty Pythonesque scene, with British accents

/Lights pan onto a bleeding dwarf and the surgeon, who is standing there calmly

Dr: So... tell me again what happened?

Axedwarf: Well, I saw the asher punching the tortoise, so I thought I would help, and then...! And then...!
/He stutters to an end, point violently at his missing limb, from which blood is squirting everywhere

/Dr. studies it for a moment, humming to himself
Dr: "Hmmm, yes, this is a rather unfortunate accident. Hmmm. So what you're saying is... that the tortoise bit your foot off?

/The axedwarf is turning pale, blood is all over the table now
Axedwarf: YES! 'E BIT MY ARMOK FORSAKEN FOOT OFF! NOW STITCH ME UP!

^4: Asmel "Washhem", adequate asher, he was a recent migrant

You didn't reference this citation in your main article. Sorry, i've noticed it, and i can't un notice it now

unfortunately, i dont' think i've even seen giant tortoises in my games, let alone gigantic ones.

I noticed the missing 4 also.

Allow me to insist that this research be placed on the Wiki for all future generations.

I will have to fix the missing 4.


There really is not much research here that was no already in the wiki. I compiled it together into one smooth vision.
