8th of Limestone: Today, I'd like to celebrate a important day. It took us a long time to get here, and as much as I'd like to thank every single person who helped us get here, I can't for want of time. However, I will stop to say it took a lot of people, and their sacrifices will not be in vain.
SILVER HAMMERS! About TIME! This should aid greatly in our fight against the undead hordes.
Things slowly progress, this is probably a running theme at this point. I'm upset about how little in the way of burial is occuring, our miners have still not mined out the temporary extension to the catacombs. Must be because their too busy mining out gold (or, in aoiks case, mining skulls). Bah, no one is helpig me here.
Did I mention I'm in the hospital? Yes well, after the recent attack, I injured my self. Curses, I know, But Its why I've been recieving reports from others instead of the real deal. I think I've figured out why though. It turns out the CMD has been incapacitated themself. How odd. I was in a seperate room, so I didn't know. Bastards. All I still need is a immobilization, so I hope to be out of here soon.
The troglodytes dispersed. One of them started chaisng a random mechanic, while the militia chased him. What a terrifying game of hide-and-seek.
The militia caught up with them before any serious damage could be done,and the trog was killed. A counter-attack was then launched by the trogs, getting the jump on the dwarves there. Meanwhile, Apiks, slayer of the trog, decides the best use of his time is to store something in a bin.
A maceforumite is killed. A hammerforumite arrives on the scene and dispenses basalt-based justice while the afore-mentioned mechanic is single-handedly beating to death a trog. A hammerforumite arrives with a granite banhammer and finishes him off.I think its safe to say the trogs have been BANNED.
A Troll shows up right next to the combat zone immediately after. It kills a random bowforumite and engages in bloodthirsty combat with a hammerforumite before highmax, ( member highmax? that recent migrant), attacks from behind, teariing it to shreds.
The fights going on in the centrance are becoming weirder. tell me, how does this occur?
I wil be sure to ask someone that. I'm begining to think that the reports I'm recieving are less then accurate. I'm going to need to reprimand some people upside the head when I'm able.
The wall that prevents LOS for necros is finally being put up. Progress is being made on the smoothing and furnishing front. Coffins are being built. No one has removed the elf corpses in the front yard though, might have to dump'em.
Uh oh. The frienly humans have arrived. You knwo what that means? I do. I quickly order all corpses moved inside. Corpses start moving soon enough, and I order the bridge closed. Better lose a few then all.
A dog shows great bravery in charging the corpses, giving us time to pull the lever. A fleeing horse notices a necromancer. The dogs and a jackal charge him, injuring him but not sufficiently.
He enters the fort proper, and raises various things.A miner manages to seal te gate so his friends can't help him out. The militia kills him quickly and kills the undead in the walls with acceptable casualties. I dragged myself out there to help, and I have to say, a funny image was the strange mood guy running right through the melee to grab a piece a leather. As the last head is crushed, the bridge finally raises. Gonna be a freaking while before It lowers in MY power. Turtling it is, opening only for migrants. Now, the only threat is from ourselves.
What? Infighting between the monsters? Are they not united agains the forces of good? Weird.
Anyway, after battle report. Our bowforumites were of a great help, and will be counted on in the future. It was one of them that actually delivered the finishing blow to the necro, a Dastot Gearedmine.
At one point in the fighting, a undead spotted a kobold. That poor kobold never ran as fast as he did now. Many members of our quickly drafted militia are injured, It will require a hospital Expansion.
I've looked around, spoken to people, trying to get afeel on things, and the Fort is mostly content. A number of fines. one or 2 happys, a small number of unhappys and 1 miserable. I think we will perservere.
Also, LOL, did this happen again?
A head is up there, watching people, scaring haulers. The Bowdwarves are taking potshots at it. Yo, stop it, the ammo is scarce. Eh, let them have it, we could use the damn practice. I'd rather a few guys get awesome shots of then everyone miss.
My spies report that a necro is caught in a cage outside. Huh. The bastard can get comfortable, cause He'll be there for a while.
The archers kill off the last 2 undead. I temporarily open up so that dead may be retrieved. That necro is going to get Hammered.
BTW, A bunch of random epople got kills, no named people got killed, go day, I think. Greycat got a kill. BFEL is missing a hand, and has moter damage in the other one. That didn't prevent him from getting kills though. We're at 48 forumites.
