Chapter 4: Oh Crap It Flies!We have a good start for winter when Endo smokes finished a baggy.
--
So I already told you about the bear and the boar last
fall autumn. Well, that happened after Captain Olon grilling me because I’ve been slacking in training. Anyway, I’m supposed to prove to her I can make a killing
steal, still. First, I got an e-z kill.
7th MoonstoneThat was some thirsty work so I went to get a refill on drinks, and got some carrot wine. This whole ordeal get me going so I tell Olon, “hey captain, I got one.”
Captain Olon smirks, “yeah, that was like stealing candy from a babe.”
“I was just warming up. I bet you a kiss for each kill more. What ya say?”
Olon looks at me lustfully, “And I bet you a hammering if you don’t kill three.”
“You got a bet!” I left, humming
“Cool It Now” by New Edition, and scope out the area until I find my targets…

Anyway, I would have just let winter wind itself down to a crawl, but Olon's kisses charged me up to a manic state!
While building the silver stairs on the west side of the project, I looked around for things the idlers can do.
Build walls around the stairs for the masons with rock doors. This should cut off access to areas no longer excavated.
Cut trees.
Remove "give only" stockpile to smelters and forges. I'm tired of missing flux or iron bars.
Make more steel bars, hopefully.
Make gold flasks, gold sarcophagus, silver sarcophagus, rock coffins.
Smelt tetrahedrites for more silver bars.
Make charcoal for steel making.
Make more rock pots, and wood barrels to continue
Dig more limestone for flux.
*cues music* *deep base* On the 22nd of Moonstone, early winter morning, the southern hills tremble.
The Mountain Titan Izeg has come. A gigantic three-eyed pterosaur. It has a knobby shell and it has a regal bearing. Beware its fire!The ranking officers of the militia are all in agreement that we’re not waiting this out.
Everyone has orders to charge immediately!
Oh, crap, it flies!Sodel, the Xbow Captain, is first to engage the Mountain Titan hovering up in the air.
Several more silver bolts pelted the Mountain Titan to the point of it crashing to the ground.
*action cam* Sodel avoids the cone of fire.
*action cam* Hammer Tun patiently waits in position to begin the tanking phase.
Sodel moves to position in the rear for maximum range damage. Tun bravely blocks the fire breath with his shield.
*throw more dots* *more dots* *come on more
dots* (Onyxia wipe link)
The battle rages the entire day against the Mountain Titan with only Hammer Tun and Xbow Sodel. The rest of the militia are still a distance away in Constructivory towers when a new day breaks.
This is a clash against a Mountain Titan, but the ferocity of dwarves are greater.
Between Tun and Sodel, these mighty duo chip away at the Mountain Titan. The snow covered silt now smolders. Fire and smoke billows with the winds of winter, cutting off direct paths from the rest of the militia in Constructivory.
In the end, Tun returns back to his passions of wood crafting. It was only appropriate for Tun to bless his silver war hammer with a worthy a name for his and its first kill.

The rest of winter passes in peace thanks to the bravery of Tun and Sodel.
I have moments of sobriety, and so I made use of my remaining time in a more productive manner. Something to perhaps add quality in the life here in Constructivory. Pillars around the stairs toward the mason’s quarry. Sections for animals and cages. Continued gathering of flux stones to convert our iron into steel. This includes exploitation of the woods by gathering plants and felling trees to make charcoal. And steel armor sets are on order.
But really, I just wanted a drink back in spring, so I’m content with meeting my agenda of 5k booze.
The stairs made of silver on the west side of the maze is completed with some generous use of gold bars in the end. I added a dog watch tower southeast of “The Cat.”
A tree sprouted in the middle finger of “the Stick Man” so I had the gold pillars taken down to pave its floors with limestone.
I contemplate on what I’ve done, and the world tells me this, in the last image as the new year turn.
