[King Zultan]

I have my soldiers fight you while I hide in my castle, I have no idea if you win or lose because I'm far away.

[Imic]

A cadre of Pickaxe-wielding warriors charge from the gates, and the Dwarves begin a slaughter of rat-people. The Dwarves keep the blood flowing, but the Rats won’t stop coming. A horn is blown. The Dwarves retreat, charging for the gates, as the steel portcullis closes bahind them, and the oak doors are barred. There is no escape, save through the dark caverns. Teh rats dig. Halls are lost. People dissapear. The Dwarves organize a final push to distract from the fleeing Civilians, who enter the caverns. A single Stone-carver remains within the hall of Memory to carve this. Slowly, carefully, he describes the sounds. The screams. The blood. The rats. The pain. The death.

47 years later, the mountainhones send a group of merceneries to find out what happened. The group comes back, the last carvings copied word for word. Little is known of what happened there beyond what is gleaned from the carvings. The Civilians mentioned by the carvings were never seen by a living Dwarf again. Amongst the many dozens of Dwarven skeletons found, there was not a single rat skeleton found. No evidence remains of the Rats whatsoever, and there is doubt that they ever attacked the Fortress at all.
Until, many years later, another expedition finds, deep, deep within the fortress, a Rock salt statue.
On the item is an image of Zultan the Rat King and Dwarves. Zultan the Rat King is laughing. The Dwarves are dying.

The dwarves are most likely wearing metal armor. Against lightning mice. Bad decision.

[Imic]

The gates are barred, the portcullis lowered. The Guards peek out from tiny openings, wearing armour made from layer sof leather attatched together. Wooden crossbows are aimed. Thunder-bolts fly against crossbow-bolts, but the Dwarves cannot win. The gates are locked. The Miners are given a task. A tunnel is dug. Much time later, the Miners hit their mark. They have arrived at the neighboring fortress. Word is spread, and an armed force marches out. With cloth Gambesons protecting them from their own armour, and gloves under their gauntlets, they march. 700 against 17. No Pikachu escapes. A force which has already destroyed an important mine and everyone in it is stopped before it could destroy another.

Dwarf fortress crashed because of a stack overflow (My profile picture is infinitely recursive lol)
The end.

[NRDL]

Mwahahaha, just changed my avatar and look what thread pops up.

Not sure how time stop interacts with an infinite object, honestly.

[Craftsdwarf boi]

A boxer surely would not stand a chance against an infinite recursion
So won't most digital TVs running Jojo

[King Zultan]

I stand in a empty field waiting for someone to fight, but no one ever shows up.

[Naturegirl1999]

A thunderstorm starts in the field where the Rat King is

[Imic]

The field fills with the sounds of marching Dwarves, dour and vengeful. Alone they stand, before the Rat King, and before the empty storm.

[pikachu17]

The 17 Pikachu return from fainting beside the Rat King, and prepare for battle.

[King Zultan]

I realizing that there's about to be a big fight between dwarves and pikachu, I flee the area hoping that they don't notice me.

[Imic]

Oh no, no, no, not after that last siege you don't.
A company of Dwarves split up from the main force, and make chase on the Rat King and his subjects. The dwarves encircle the rats at a distance, and slowly the rats are forced against a cliff. The rats desperately dig, and b the time the Dwarves have them completely enclosed, most are gone. stragglers are left in bloody heaps, as yet another siege begins. There is no real winner.

[NRDL]

Future archaeologists will find the bones of several dwarves, each one with their faces, ribs and spines broken as if hit by hundreds of fists. It's said by locals that if you listen closely, you may still heart the faint cry of "ORA ORA ORA" in the air.

[Craftsdwarf boi]

A fatal error (stack overflow) occurred in the matrix, guess the AI overlords are still flawed.
