Chapter 1: Emergency measuresNotebook of Turist Alsolon, entries up to 16th of Slate, 83Granite 1: The undead are back. A necromancer walks around and his horde - mainly goblin corpses - keeps growing incl. some beards I used to know. I ordered the bridges raised, the overhang completed. Selfpromoted to chief undertaker, need to be a good example.
Granite 2: All food production stopped.
Granite 3: Why did no one object to me taking control? Oh right. We locked some people outside. The six "outsiders" are Nil Idsulus, Ingish Kogannirmek, Kib Eteslorbam, Kib Boyzitbig, Kadol Osoroddom, Eral Likoturus. If they have any brains, they hide from the horde until we can think of a way to rescue them. [Made a squad and ordered them into a depression in the very east of the map. They got into a fight with a giant cardinal, beat it up, but can't finish it.]
Granite 7: They are all around us. We hear them scratching on the wooden wall. Some even in the second floor, the overhang helps, but it is not yet finished. I allow all bards, musicians etc. residence on the condition they play louder to drown out the noise beyond the wall, our sensible ones need distraction badly.
Granite 8: We had to give up finishing the overhang. Impossible to build with the undead so close. Don't see the necromancer anymore, maybe they are just pathing by and will leave us be when we don't provoke them? Evacuating to the catacombs (all but the visitors still hanging around in the tavern). [I had some zombies under the overhang where it was build, but it seemed more random, did not want to give them a visible target, eastern part was still unfinished. Look below how it worked.]
Granite 9: Emergency tunnel away from the undead drafted. That should be where the outsiders will run to. We can't just abandon them. [Deactivated squad and gave them a mobile refuge burrow that I dragged over the map, brought them to the North.]
Granite 10: "Frog, I appoint you to assistant undertaker." "But, I am the occulte frycooke." "Indeed, you are used to handling dead meat. I need you. No deep frying until we produce oil again."
Granite 14: We got 'em. Most of them. Nil Idsulus decided to charge the approaching undead the very moment we broke the surface close to the spot they were resting. Was he a hero? Eral misses a hand, bitten off by the bird they were fighting. Hope he does not meet it again.
A close call:
Everyone inside:
: Undead form now two distinct groups one in the south and one in the north (where the evacuation took place).
One group:
The other group:
Everyone up - the eastern side is clear. Finish the overhang!
Oh Kadol! - No one asked you to do this.
Jumping / climbing down instead of constructing the wall and charging the first undead that meandered back to the east side.
What did you expect?
(Pet of one of the outsiders. Sacrificed itself during the evacuation.)
Granite 24: Safety at last. The overhang is finished. [Did the last tiles with low / restricted area engineering, so they stand on tiles w/ less vision and less visible while constructing.]
Granite 25-27: Transformation time. A month has passed, but our mice are sad. They will go crazy, if left in this state any longer.
Slate 15: Things have calmed down. The corpses (on the inside) are recovered, quantum reduced (drawbridge) or buried or at least temporarily stored near the graveyard. The outside, however. We should have announced that we are temporarily closed:
