Just had a fight against a were rhino Lico Ecenpathril or Lico Oakpet in his human form, thanks to my glorious military of 4 they were able to kill the night creature with only one casualty. This were rhino had killed off my first military of two hammer dwarves on his first visit to the fortress, although they bought time for the rest of my fort to get to safety, his second visit only killed a far ranging fisherdwarf before he walked off. It was determined to make this the last visit
My militia commander Stakud Ibelshorast, who wears the artifact leather cloak Ethadstigil, the Decent Jaws, as a sign of her status fell in battle after having her throat bit out by the creature, Lico was latched on tightly and shaking his head all the while, ripping her throat to shreds. However Lico made a fatal error, this is exactly were Stakud wanted him, a place where he could not run from her axe. Already heavily injured by her and the others in the military, the first blow by the now heavily bleeding Stakud was in the left upper arm, tearing apart the muscle and severing the motor nerve.
Angry Lico shakes Stakud around by her throat, tearing open another artery in her neck, making this two of them.
Her underling Zan Eshtandural punchs Lico in the gut to make him let go of his commander, succeeding in his goal. Desperately Lico tries to attack Stakud once more but misses.
Bleeding out and with not much time left in her life, she looks at Lico with a bloody grin, lashing out with her steel battle axe into the left leg of Lico, cutting it off and finaly felling the beast that has plauged the town of Rimtarelis for over a year now.
The last things Stakud says before she dies from blood loss are as follows.
"Those Injuries... This does not Scare me."
"Death is all around us. I am not upset by this"
"I've been wounded. No, that's not annoying."
After seeing her death and shrugging off her injuries, a final smile at the hulking dead body of the wererhino Lico, Stakud passes away on the field of battle, confident in knowing her sacrifice saved the fortress and the fleeing civilians.
For her valor she will be buried with full honors and her deeds recorded on the a slab in the Hall of Memories.
