That steam FB is a goddamn pushover, send literally anyone to go kill it.

Yes. Send Flame.

Hell, if you can retrap him and return him to his office, I bet you could send Smunstu after it...

The journal of Imic the 23rd

Entry three

I have reached page seventy of the combined history of doomforests. I am gaing to go to sleep now, but from looking around i have discovered that taupe the II died sometime in the past. No-one talks much about him anymore out of respect, apart from that one drunk dwarf who spends all of his time in the main hall. From what i can tell, Taupe II dragged this fort out of the gutter after two simultaneous beast attacks, one mutant snail and one goat from the depths of hell. After the attack there were only four survivors. One of them was Taupe II. The others died of fever. Afterwards he voted himself mayor (he got 100% of all the votes!) and accepted the hat of overseer (made of rock, or so I'm told) cured himself of fever and dragged up the fortress using the next immagrant wave. he later retired and, although I'm not sure who took over his post, he remained there for the rest of his years. Then the drunk old dwarf who had been talking to me fell over unconscious. Wow. I am going to maybe gather information on this "minister smunstu" that lives here, but until then, I need a nap.

Entry four

I have not gathered any useful info on smunstu, however Drazoth III seems suspicious to me, and I think that maybe I should spy on him. If he sees me, however, I'm doomed.

I like this fort already

[Drazoth]

Dear Dark 2:

Sorry for taking so long to reply to your letter.  I have been rather busy of late.  While things may seem to be improving in the fort, or at least not worsening, there is on problem growing much worse.  The ambient magic in the stone here is increasing rapidly, as it has been ever since Mate the 888th started the adamantine mining. I think that by mining adamantine, it has weakened the barrier that prevented the energies of hell from leaking out.  I think this may be responsible for our last overseer's desire to "conquer" hell.  The increase in ambient energy has allowed them to begin influencing people's minds.  Thank Armok his term ended before he actually opened hell. 

On the plus side, Don Pedro's spirit has departed, though I worry about the effect it's having on his former host.  at least we no longer need to fear him meddling in the affairs of this fort.  Also, I believe some fool has been spying on me.  I think I might have Hans or Kronk deal with them if they continue this.

Sincerely, Drazoth the Third

entry four

i have decided that, after more close calls then i would like to admit, i am going to stop spying on drazoth, for my own good. From what I've learnt and from previous experience, I think that he is slightly more of a threat then i had first imagined. for this reason, i am stopping. no buts. Also i have learnt thet smunstu is indeed alive and kicking, and i plan to visit him, preferably soon...

if anyone in doomforests had gone down a certain path that night, or looked a certain way, they would have seen a dwarf walk up to an odd looking wall with air holes. a conversation then took place between the wall and imic
Imic:hello...
wall:hello
imic:you can talk in dwarven?
wall:yes, and i am called smunstu.
imic:I've been looking for you...
smunstu:I know. i can hear everything that happens in the next few coridoors.
imic:i wanted to ask you if you... *whisper whisper*
smunstu: good point i...*whisper whisper whisper*
imic:whisper
smunstu: see you soon then...
imic: until then...

imic didn;'t notice a door behind him slowly close... and footsteps leading away...

Journal of Dark Two

Dark Two was sitting in his office and thinking. Kevral, the current overseer was making a great job managing Doomforests, no deadly accidents in a few months! But seriously, he put great effort in making this place much more efficient. Klan-Master thought that he should be an honourable member of Order of The Ale! In other news, a new dwarf appeared in mountainhome. His name was Imic the 23rd, and he was a hammerdwarf. The Order would need some new recruits, a drafting letter should be sent to him.

Spoiler: To Imic the 23rd (click to show/hide)

To Imic the 23rd

We would like to honour you with a possiblity to join The Order of The Ale. This is a great opportunity for joining fortress's community and earning respect amongst our dwarves. We fulfill our duty as guards of Doomforests, standing close to militia. We are the law, a great responsiblility lies on us. This is a chance to join us and gain glory, or receive support for your other goals, as long as they aren't a threat to safety of Doomforests.

Klan-Master Dark Two,
Order of The Ale.

Then Dark Two called for messanger. The dwarf brought him a letter from Drazoth the 3rd.

It seems that not everything is as good as one could thought. Breaking barrier of Hell might end with a disaster. On the plus side, Don Pedro has left! This, or his host is stronger that he thought. That's good, but I'm afraid his host is lost forever and must be dealt with before it would be too dangerous. I should write a letter to Drazoth the 3rd:

Spoiler: Letter to Drazoth the 3rd (click to show/hide)

To Drazoth the 3rd:

What can be done to decrease the ambient energy? We should reduce it, as well as stop breaking last barrier of Hell. Whether Don Pedro left, or his host was stronger than him, it's a husk that must be removed, or used as a way of getting more information about RegenReich. I'm not sure who could spy on you, but if I'd get any information about that, I'll let you know.

[Imic]

Imic the 23rd sat down slowly. On the table in front of him was a letter from someone who called himself 'dark two'. The letter's message was simple, woold you like to join the order of the ale. At first glance, it wasn't so bad. Ale was his second favorite beverage after all, just after beer. But he was worried. He had a lifetime's experience of backstabbing, plot and skulduggery. Not that he was the backstabber. No, he would never do such a thing,he was honor bound to do good, however that was the problem. You see, it really all depended on your idea of good. He thought about it, pondering the possible outcomes, before he went to sleep.
This was a mistake

He woke in a passage. It was dark. The walls were covered in blood. He got up. He walked along the passage. He recognized it. He was in datetattooed. He walked through the shadow city, before long seeing light. But out of the light came a huge helmet. Red eyes glowered at him. The helmet sprauted arms and legs. Then a torso. Then, it lunged for him.
And he woke up.
He got out of the chair, and immediately got a roll of parchment from his coat. He fetched a quill and started writing a letter to dark two

Dear dark two

I have decided to take up your offer of joining the order of the ale. Should you accept me on this i have been having nightmares lately, and if you could, i would like your advice on the matter.
Thank you again for the offer.
Sincerely, Imic the 23rd, of doomforests
Formerly of stroking

He took the letter and, promising himself to look up this orderin the history books, gave it to the bored looking fellow who had given it to him.
Now he could only wait...

[Imic]

 Nevermind, just post stuff! Why is no-one posting!? I GOTS TA KNOW

[Drazoth]

Hello?  Anybody home?

[Gwolfski]

[Drazoth]

Another bottle of rum and some tea to go with it if you would be so kind.

(I know I said I'd have thenext part of the archive done by now, but I've been busy/sick.  I'll try to get done within the next week.)

[Taupe]

Great job with the archive, by the way.

[Imic]

O thank Armok, i thought that the thread was going to die.
Death is inevitable!

Also, on the topic of drinks, could I have some fanta please? Some beer would'nt hurt either though...

[Gwolfski]

[Imic]
