Hold on a second, what the hell?
The reports are too old to see, but this can't be a coincidence.
Here, in the second cavern, is where the announcements came from.
Quothest is the cardinal with webs. Where's Quothest?
OH SHIT NIGGA IT'S IN THE RESIVOUR HOW THE FUCK DID IT GET IN THERE
The floodgate diagonal from it is almost destroyed. I don't know where it will go after that, and there are too many places it could go for me to seal it up. We'll just have to see.
With one final crash, the floodgate pops free. The water, held back for so long, surges forward.
What is this fucking sorcery!? It just phased right through the floor! I order everyone into the slightly modified 'Attack from below' burrow. While everyone evacuates the cavern, Quothest flies back into the reservoir.
After swimming around a bit, he flies up the well and into the fort.
FUCKING KILL IT
While the militia prepares to kill the beast, the reservoir begins to overflow. The fort won't flood, but we may get a bit damp.
The militia arrives one by one. They sight the beast around the corner and it sights them. They die.
More arrive. The beast cannot kill them all at once. Blades rise and fall. Blood spurts from jagged cuts.
Swordsmaster Stinthad deals the beast a crippling blow, but it is not over yet.
Surrounded, outnumbered, wounded, the beast finally succumbs.
Total casualties:
- Rakust Shaligerith, hunter
- Doren Okilkeskal, legendary weaver
- Olon Cattenrulush, elite marksdwarf
- Likot Udibidor, spearmaster
- Uvash Othbemdodok, axelord
- 1 cat
- 4 giant grey langurs
That's Kubuk there, the most stressed dwarf in the fort. He just walked out there. He just had a genuine unfortunate accident.
And I'm done. That's all folks, try not to fuck things up too hard. Slab Kubuk when he goes missing, finish linking up the lever with the grates, dig out the rest of the Grand Temple.
