Zuglarkun's Log:At first I was rather apprehensive about this whole undead business, but overall I think we are better off for it. I think
Goden put it best when I asked asked him about how it feels like being part of
and I should venture the better part of us few left, share the same sentiments as well. Its clear that we've been left to our own devices, so what do we have to fear from the threat of a death sentence by an absentee king when we've become the very thing that the dwarven kingdom seeks to stamp out from this plane of existence?
I mean its true that we start losing some of our more dwarfish tendencies over time. Like the urge
But then you realize you don't need such trappings and you are much better of being part of the undead. I especially like the way
"- and then in unlife when you become a necromancer, you realize you can just start raising minions to do all the work for you."What can I say really? We are all just prisoners here, of our own device.
2nd Hematite 307Well, if you want to petition for work, run the gauntlet of undead and prove your worth!
By
Tarem's Beard. You took out the 3 undead on our
Isman Trickskey, I take my words back. You are worthy of application, now head on in and be mindful of the undead ducks lest you get embroiled in a battle with a truly worthy foe.
The remaining 2 dwarves decided to put the ewe to the fire, unfortunately the claystone bridge, built with claystone mechanisms went up in flame as well.
Iden the miner resigns herself to pulling on the lever until all the magma is smashed.
6th Hematite 307is engaging the ducks instead of enjoying herself in the tavern. Oh well your loss. I've had some mugs and goblets moved in the tavern and assigned
Balnash as tavern keeper.
Because of that duck corpse fighting moron,
Quabu (whom got gelded btw), mayor
Shorast is now eternally stuck in a
that waiting for something that will probably never come to pass. The rest of the populace is busy with stockpiling various goods, finishing the roof over the entryway that leads to our trade depot and other stuff. Of course, no one is enjoying it especially after
16th Hematite 307were caught in freakish weather while constructing a roof topside.
After a quick examination,
Flame deduces that it was an acute case of
Though there is no acrid slime anywhere on their bodies to be seen. Personally I suspect this
Ryukan to be a
hypochondriac. An examination of his health history pretty much
confirms my suspicions.
Hold up, we have
Wasn't
Shorast occupied with-
Oh. Someone finally got off their ass to install the cage traps huh?
Well, welcome abroad
Seems the
"training" has paid off, I'm sorry about your geldables, you'll recover someday! We drafted
Quanbu into the night guard.
Spriggans and
Lebo got a case of the
Yeah, ok I see you guys went ahead and dipped your entire face in acrid slime.
DON'T YOU HAVE ANY REGARD FOR YOUR HEALTH? WHAT ARE YOU? ELVES?AHHHHHH PANIC!!!! EVERYONE PANIC!!!!!! GET IT OFF OF ME!!!!!!! GET THIS SLIME OFF OF ME!!!She reassures me that she is much more familiar with this situation and that the slime is fairly harmless. She prescribes a good scrubbing down, in other words
20th HematiteQuabu that doofus went ahead to pickup equipment from the surface.
(I unforbid some weapons, cancelling the job was too late, quanbu went ahead anyway.)Quabu dodges and weaves around the donkey corpse, but attracts attention from the yak bull corpse up top. He does fairly well until he dodges into a pool of lava that has yet to cool.
So RIP
Quabu, we hardly knew ye.
Tekkud Vabokulzest, the Dwarf dancer necromancer
here in Bloodyhells. Well seems like you've already accustomed yourself to how things go about here. Approved.
Unfortunately I'm unable to assign her to the tavern as entertainer, so I sent her to the forges instead since she liked battle axes. I hope that inspires her to make a nice battle axe for us in the future.
25th HematiteAfter much persuasion that it can be done, the triple wide ramp connecting us to the outside was constructed along with the trade depot.
1st Malachitea goblin pikeman is visiting. I would warn the fella against his lust for action, but hey suit yourself. We provide battle 24/7, just run the gauntlet.
ventures near the now open trade depot complex, spots the lovely undead hanging around our doorstep and decides it was a good idea to test his pike on these foes.
The pikeman stabs the donkey corpse in the head,
But the yak bull returns the favor. Thank you for taking out one undead, unfortunately that's all your worth. Sorry!
5th MalachiteGoods news everyone, the trade depot is
Unfortunately,
Shebi the goblin hammerman has decided that he had enough of this place, and proceeds to leave. Well bad timing there, a yak bull corpse and a fast approaching cloud of nefarious fog to the south stand in
drags on for awhile as the fog sails past on its way northwards, however the scuffle has attracted the attention of 2 ogre corpses on the surface.
It is as this moment that
Shebi decides it is an appropriate time to
Damn it, at this rate there will be no one to spread the word of how awesome an establishment we are running. And of course, we get more
in our mandatory undead obstacle course for visitors
(and departing visitors).
I guess that is just more encouragement to stay on and apply for citizenship!
And now
Isman is trying to leave. I wonder how that is
Oh great, and now the undead ogres are onto
whom is also leaving. Well
Edem takes out the named ogre but the corpse of
Shebi gets resurrected and joins the battle. Oh wow,
Edem takes out the other ogre as well, there might still be a glimmer of hope for her. As far as I can tell, she is yet unscathed. And the corpse of
Shebi is put down also. But can Edem take out
Atraenil,
dashedcleaned the rotten yak bull corpse?
Nothing to see here. Its a clean sweep, with nary a scratch on
Edem, whom has earned her freedom. You are welcome back anytime!
In case it wasn't apparent,
Edem had been fighting a undead turkey hen head skin while locked behind a locked mason's workshop all this time. I had the mason's workshop dismantled and had a cage trap built underneath the turkey skin. While this was going on, the only other undead to wander around our fortress,
Ramet Itniostsi Halirpuja Racon wandered in and tried to fight her too. Well I walked into the room to check and the remains of
laid on the floor, with the unkillable turkey head skin caught in a cage trap in a corner of the room. Well, I suppose we
"train" supersoldiers now with our rigorous undead training program. I hope
Edem Slidworks makes it out of here safely and spreads the word. Also, we can finally reclaim the statues for placement in the temples. Hooray for danger room alternatives!
2nd Galenaof
Sanctume has been
Everyone is busy gathering weapons, armor and other stuff from the wreckage upside. Its taking a long time since we are only 19 strong.
(2 normal dwarves are stuck in another enclosure.) Also the upper enclosure for the trade depot is
At the very least it will ward off the acrid slime rain as well as the vile husking fog.
7th GalenaWe've got another
Tawki, a human bow woman. Not sure if she'll be able to make it past the remaining elf corpse on our doorstep. Ohh hold on, a buck rabbit corpse has accosted her. OK, one rabbit down, and... she took down the elf corpse in one shot.
24th GalenaWe released
back into the wild after a long time in imprisonment. I hope she spreads the news of the homeliness of our taverns, and the potency of our booze.
27th Galenagoblin hammerman has come to visit.
Autumn has come.
