The Dwarves have been toiling to fortify the dining Fortress in anticipation of a very long siege without access to the overworld, the foodsmiths working endlessly to prepare preserved meals to boost food stocks. Some of the war eagles on the rooftops were shot by humans, nothing is getting out. The humans and Dwarves however did not fight, an informal truce having broken out, bound by the walls of Silentthunders and the unnatural influence of the dwarf blood skies.
The humans were corralled in the south side quarter, the bridges raised and the magma incendiary. The advancing humans were halted and the retreating ones joined their advancing column, morale having been restored and wild mounts tamed. The Dwarves only needed to keep the humans there long enough to pull the lever. When the Dwarves finally got round to it, they were in for a surprise intervention from Sazir Razorbelts.
Well, Sazir Razorbelts as usual was an unknown presence. In lieu of Sazir Fucking Razorbelts's ostensible appearance his dead army of skinless elf corpses attacked, surrounding the humans. I believe it was the human pikeman, Copnut Skydrinker - ah yes, good name for a hero. Copnut Skydrinker was the last soldier from the human vanguard to go down. The unseemly arrival of so many elven buffeteers of human flesh tipped the scale of battle against Copnut Skydrinker.
Copnut Skydrinker died on the brass road outnumbered 30 to 1, poking and lopping off limbs this way and that with his pike till the end. Looking through the battle in closer detail reveals that there are still four humans alive, all mounted on their steeds and darting through the undead with excellent horsemanship. I hope the likes of Timik Calmbattles and Are Moppedquake are quick to flee home.
The main human host set upon the cadaverous host with martial efficiency, it truly made me glad to know that all those Elves trampled underhoof were not Dwarven soldiers. I was not concerned for their brief success, for Sazir had allowed the Dwarves enough time to pull the lever.
AND SO OPEN THE FLOODGATES OF HELL AND UNLEASH LEGION UPON THE WORLD, AYANYU THE WORLD EATING CORPSE WORM - SQUEAL YOUR FETID ROAR AND REVEAL YOUR BRUTAL STRENGTH TO THE MORTAL HUMAN WORLD! THE GRASPING ARMS, BEAKS AND TEETH OF SO MANY FLESH BEASTS AND BONE MONSTERS IS RELEASED FROM THEIR CONFINES TO TEAR INTO THE RANKS OF HUMANKIND.
*Technically speaking, no actual floodgates were used nor was a new passage to hell opened. The floodgates were bridges and hell is a corpse bomb on solid ground.You should call your next for Sunderthunders. I got it as an artifact name and thought of Silentthunders.
You should check out Swordthunders, the Fort by theAussieguy. Absolutely mental!
dear.....amok.....just read through all this. What started with weaponized undead ravens and weaponized undead processing plant has...turned into a LOTR worthy siege.
as the men through themselves hopelessly against the walls only to be pushed back, trapped, and cut down. So they settle down and trap you, slowly working out weaknesses as you work your plans and gather up the force of undeath to take them out in a blood bowl that shall leave one enemy replaced with one significantly weaker but in greater numbers.
And how the humans struggle on in pain and in misery as their own comrade's corpses and organs come back to haunt them! May this story ring in the halls of Amok for time to come.
So... Many... Organs... So... Many... Organs...
