Uristildom (Daggerfaints)Welcome to Uristildom! Our main attractions include: our legendary lack of organization, our many diverse entrances to the very dangerous caverns, our rampant adamantine mining, our lack of preparation for disasters, our lack of a working bridge, our lack of a plan for deadly blood/dust forgotten beasts... We also have possibly the deepest aquifer ever, even intersecting the first caverns! Sure was a lot of fun... Have some of your own!
This is part of the
Necromancer's Tower project.
Here is the original succession fortress's thread. This succession game is played in v.0.31.25.
Turns - Starting from Reanimation (Original thread ended on turn 3):
Turn 1: jwoodward48dfTurn 2: Gwolfski (skipped)Turn 2: megahelmetGranite 1st, 9:
I woke up this morning from the deepest sleep I've ever slept, dreams of fell things in the deeps.
As no one else has claimed leadership, I have decided to. I am Sarvesh Ducimorrun, a miner. I'm sixty-one years old, very skinny, assertive, and good with emotions and social situations.
This town is doing very well. It has plenty of drink, plenty of food, and a good militia. I think this should be easy.
Granite 3rd:
There is a zombie reindeer cow disrupting workers on the surface. I ordered some soldiers to go kill it. As this happens, the mayor ends a mandate, Zulban becomes a criminal for not making tin items, and Conan goes to beat him.
Granite 4th:
The soldiers are not injured. The macedwarf, however, is bashed in the middle spine for his crime. Also, we have over one hundred free doors. I have ordered them placed pretty much everywhere.
Granite 11th:
Just when I thought everything was going fine, the #%$@ hit the fan.
"diorite Floodgate destroyed by Ipan Nethrezkusut, Forgotten Beast.
Avuz Kurelstinthad, Wood Burner cancels Gather Plants: Interrupted by Forgotten Beast.
Bembul Asenablel, Farmer cancels Store Item in Barrel: Interrupted by Forgotten Beast."
So, in the middle of our farming operations, we've got an enormous sauropod with a poisonous sting pretty much ready to destroy us.
But wait! There's more! Upon a closer look, I see what appears to be mist but what is really some forgotten beast extract from the enormous skinless dimetrodon flying above.
Carp.
I can see where they got in: there was a floodgate blocking off the caverns. Not such a good idea, huh? I activate the militia, who thankfully just ran down the stairs.
Granite 12th:
Ipan chases poor Avuz around the sealed portion of the caverns, but then they run into a pile of civilians and soldiers. The only damage to Avuz right now is a bruised foot. Ipan knocks a speardwarf over and kicks him in the upper body, bruising it, but the swordsdwarf behind him hacks with his... battle axe? Well, I'll take anything I can get at these times. Anyway, he hacks Ipan in the left rear foot, cutting it open. There's blood all over the floor, I think it's Ipan's.
The speardwarf rolls out of Ipan's way as it jumps down at her. The
swordsdwarf axedwarf takes the opportunity and hacks it in the head, cutting it open. Ipan, angered, knocks the speardwarf over again and kicks him in the foot, which is only protected by a weak wooden high boot. The axedwarf hacks Ipan again, this time in the upper body, tearing it open. The speardwarf blocks Ipan's attack as best she can, terrified and on the floor.
The axedwarf hacks Ipan's left rear foot, tearing it apart, but then Ipan whirls about and attacks him. The swordsdwarf leaps away, and Ipan follows. After a few hacks, Ipan knocks him over and tries to claw him, but he uses his shield repeatedly. He bides his time, waiting for Ipan to make a mistake, and counterstrikes when it does. But he makes a mistake of his own, and Ipan kicks his right upper arm, shattering the bone. Knocking him over again, Ipan kicks him again, but doesn't notice the speardwarf stabbing it until it's too late.
Meanwhile, on the Edimi front, a hammerdwarf is trying to kick a forgotten beast to death. Back to Ipan, it's shattering the axedwarf's limbs, but the speardwarf is still attacking, nearly unnoticed. But she's doing some pretty good damage to it, as she's actually competent with her weapon. Ipan is biting the axedwarf and shaking him around by the upper body. I think he's going to die.
Meanwhile, Edimi is spewing this stuff everywhere and slamming into dwarves. I hope it's not poisonous...
Yes! The speardwarf has been stabbing Ipan everywhere, and it finally falls over. That'll make it easier to kill!
But it still shakes the axedwarf around, and he gives into pain. The speardwarf gets a really good it in Ipan's back, breaking the middle spine and tearing some nerves.
Meanwhile, hammerdwarves are breaking Edimi's bones
Yes! A proficient axedwarf joins the fight, and hacks at Ipan with his steel battle axe! They both hack and stab, until Conan joins the fight with his silver hammer.
The fight continues. Seriously, this beast has red wounds on almost every part of its body, and the rest is brown or yellow. Only the tail is fine. Another speardwarf comes in with a steel spear. Now the tail isn't fine. Feet are flying, and they aren't dwarves'. This speardwarf is using a wooden spear. We'll take anything we can get!
And Ipan is dead! Probably from blood loss. Go get Edimi!
Wait! What's that... Spoon is paralyzed! Oh, no... Kill that thing before it's too late! Civilians! Run away!
Granite 13th:
The beast is dead, but at what cost? Moldath, the first to be hit by the clouds of deadly dust, has suffocated. As has Spoon!
Granite 14th:
Now Endok and Urdim, speardwarves have suffocated! And Mistem, and Stukos, and Zaneg, and Sakzul... The rest lie there, short of breath and knowing their fate. They all die.
I just pray that the dust is gone. Just in case, I forbid everything around that area. Our militia now numbers at 5. Two swordsdwarves, one macedwarf, one wrestler, and one recruit. Many civilians are unhappy, as they have lost friends.
I go around the fortress, noting weak points and ordering them closed off. We will not be able to fight enemies any more. We will have to "turtle," at least until we raise a good militia again. I have forbidden anyone from getting the dead soldiers, any of their stuff, or even walking there. I will order a wall built around it, and slabs placed beside the wall, in remembrance of their sacrifice.
