At any rate, have the ravens succeeded yet?
As far as I can tell all the ravens in hell have been incinerated or lost to the glowing pits. The ones in the Necrofactory are still very much alive (undead?), numbering around 40. The corpse stockpile also has plenty more bodies to process into additional undead. With the arrival of roaming wild demons the clown legion is still the most successful army in hell for now.
The Dwarves have removed the injured demons lurking on the grounds of hell with liberal application of axe. I am somewhat concerned by how Erith and E.C. Vabok have been caught in a herd of Shrew fiends' syndromes, with any luck the Dwarf blood they're covered in should shield them from infection.
Baron Muthkat's first kill in hell was a salt demon, beheaded with a single bolt to the head. A pleasing start to the hunts.
The patrols went as far as the demons beneath the spire; demons on the fringe were baited into the webs and their overall strength was gauged. At 1-3 demons the group handled everything just fine, at 3-6 Datan and Asmel got their arms and spleens broken and the patrol had to withdraw to the spire.
Erith also gets kudos for killing a demon by eating it to death.
The plans for the bedrooms have been designated above a glowing pit and are being constructed under the dutiful watch of a gila fiend on the hill top 50 paces away and the werecivets on a peninsula to the east.
