Despair!
Forgotten Beast made out of vomit has finally decided to swimm ashore after months of it's underwater explorations.
Ofcourse it decided to do that when I was not paying attention, being busy with human caravan.
I send a squad of well trained axedwarfes down.
Did I mentioned poisonus vapors this beast has?
A month later, the cavern where my axedworfs confronted the beast is filled with miasma.
I send another squad, this time my first and most elite squad of axelords.
Most of them are either resting or unconsious or trying to rest but still entangled with the beast.
A lot of civilians need medical attention.
Once caught in beast's vaports, they contract fever.
And then their whole body starts to rot.
Some managed to crawl to hospital, some shut themselves in their private rooms where they "luckily" have only their own miasma to endure.
Chief medical dwarf tries to perfom a surgery on a butcher, one of many.
He is failing, yet refuses to give up.
Some dogs and a war grizzly bear are the first casualties.
Soon more will die of thirst down in the caverns because dwarfes willing and able to bring them water or even carry them to the hospital are too scared of the legless, armless, trunkless beast laying beside them.
Others will soon follow them, either being consumed by an imminent tantrum spiral or rotting alive.
But meanwhile, one of my two masons has finally reached high enough rank to slowly start producing masterwork coffins.
