Here you go Iamblichos.
1st Moonstone, 102OH SNAP! I just unpaused! It's a good thing I just got the military organized.
Wait a second... those aren't goblins!
What sort of sick twisted world is this? Assemble the military in the courtyard! And plug up that hole before the enemy is in our fort! (I just found out thank goodness.)
Well the hole has been plugged. i'm not sure if the baroness is stupid or a genius for walling herself in.
3rd Moonstone, 102For some reason the hunters and farmers think it's a good idea to not respect the burrow. I took care of the farmers but the hunters are standing outside the keep!
On the bright side, they have metal bolts. Hopefully that will soften the invaders up a bit.
4th Moonstone, 102(sorry for the lack of pictures. I tried to make a gif but I messed it up.
)
First, a surprisingly agile speardwarf charged the hunters. They shot him down pretty quickly though. Then I sent the military to charge around the corner and attack the enemy's flank.
Most of the newbies got chopped up, well the ones that showed up did. I turns out half the squad was hiding out in the barracks "getting drink" or whatever. Wimps!
The only death in the jock squad was Zasit Ilromùshrir the axedwarf. He did kill one invader before he got killed by an enemy swordsdwarf. (This is confusing with dwarfs vs. dwarfs.
)
The real star of the show was the Mace Lord Muthkat Ducimrikkir. He slaughtered most of the enemy. Five in total. Unfortunately he decided to run off and attack the crippled speardwarf instead of staying with the group. We probably wouldn't have as many casualties if he had stayed.
All in all, Zastit and three newbies died. We shouldn't have had this many casualties with only six invaders! I'm gonna spend some time whipping the military into shape.
I just noticed that the swordsdwarf Dorsidwarf died. Sorry. You can blame half the military faffing around in the barracks instead of helping you.
14th Moonstone, 102I have the military all set up now into two squads of five. I'm still hoping to take on Nomartamun Kul this season, but it have to wait a bit. We can't afford another four dead dwarfs.
I've also begun paving over the top of the "dirt hut" with wooden logs. That'll stop trees from growing and leaving holes in our roof.
I've already recruited a bunch of architects. So it shouldn't take too long.
25th Moonstone, 102I've decided we have too many dwarfs farming. We have a surplus of food and drinks. I've canceled work on the outdoor farms and two of the underground ones. That should clear up some labor for more important things.
27th Moonstone, 102I just realized that I forgot to set up a barracks for The Armored Paints. They've been idling all month! Whoops.
22nd Opal, 102It's been pretty quiet this month. I plan on taking on Nomartamun Kul soon.
A tribe of grey langur men have arrived and are bum rushing to the fortress. Probably to rescue their caged friends or something. It'll be a good warm up for the military.
23 Opal, 102Never mind, they've decided on the less just cause of theft. Kill these skulking vermin!
24th Opal, 102 Ok, so grey langur men are fast. They got away with a bunch of stuff. I'll begin the assault on Nomartamun Kul now (finally!). Hopefully we can regain some of our pride.
1st Obsidian, 102The attack on The Abyssal Dragon of Holes's starts today. Here's the setup.
If something goes way wrong, the bridge will be raised to block off the fortress. SkaiaMechanic will be in charge of that. The entrance has been dug. Here comes the beast!
* * *
Are you kidding me? THIS IS NOT THE TIME! Limul, Datan, and Zulban are our only hope. Also, SkaiaMechanic isn't at her post! Everything has gone wrong!
Here it comes! Even Zulban wandered off. Great!
* * *
It blead to death
Victory! Limul and Datan are true heroes! I found out why so many soldiers are "picking up equipment". It's because we only have 2 backpacks! I've ordered up a bunch of them as well as some zinc flasks.
12th Obsidian, 102I've gone ahead and started to set up a permanent presence in the caverns (3rd level). A miner has already discovered a magma pool. It's not in a very convenient spot though. It's only a couple tiles above the mama sea.
I've finished paving over the mound as well. I'll now spend the rest of the months labor on the walls and securing the caverns.
17th Obsidian, 102I've started construction of the 4th floor of the inner walls and I dealt with a troll in the caverns. I think I'll set up the prison in the cavern pillars. That sounds pretty dwarfy.
19th Obsidian, 102This guy is awesome. I image he has giant pine needles for spikes or something. This should be easy now that I can use the full power of Shadowgrave's military. But deadly dust can be very, you know, deadly. I'll evacuate everyone from the caverns.
30th Obsidian 102Ithibi has vanished into an unexplored part of the caverns. I've sent the military squad to hunt it down. Will they find the beast? Will they survive the fight? You'll have to wait 'till next time!
Here's the fort's status for the end of year 3.
