24th Slate, 555.
I found the grimoire. Those trolls were quite easy to kill, though one did tear apart Imic's beard.
After that, Imic seemed to kill it quite slowly. I approve of this.
The grimoire is titled "The Bride of Butterflies". Quite a strange name for a destructive spell, but I suppose it is not as strange as "The Adorable Gates", which is the name of a turkey bone helm.
The grimoire is in a strange language, which I am having some trouble decoding.
I will probably finish decoding it in a few days.
1st Felsite, 555.
I think I have finally finished decoding the grimoire.
Along with some ingredients I will have to scrounge from somewhere, I have to sacrifice a forumite whose first name starts with 'Ap', and ends with 'iks'.
Hmm... Well, this is war, and sacrifices must be made. Even live sacrifices.
A sacrificial altar will be made. The undead must fall.
4th Felsite, 555.
I stand in the middle of a circle of silver, having carefully tuned the oboes; chanting the final words of the spell.
Rosywander glows with the possibilty.
I can feel the power, only potential now, but soon it will rip through the undead.
It will slay many of them. I know this.
Finally, the spell is completed.
A surge of light is created, and soon disappears through the ceiling.
I hear a mighty crash, and know many undead have had their 'un' removed, through holy fire.
(begin singing/humming "we are the champions". Or play it on Youtube.)
I smile, knowing that my fellow forummites will now know my power.
5th Felsite, 555.
A shaking forummite, who introduces himself as Avuz Atisdomas, informs me that some of the scholars were also hit by the power of my spell.
It appears that the spell was even stronger than I had hoped.
I will have to work on weakening it for next time, but it certainly worked.
Rosywander tells me he cannot see any unliving non-caged creatures at the moment.
In the meantime, we will open up to the surface, and grab some things.
6th Felsite, 555.
Well, it seems the spell I used set the whole surface on fire.
Since I do not particularly want to be burned alive in a flaming inferno, we will not go out just yet.
But in the meantime, I will figure out which lever actually controlls when we go outside.
7th Felsite, 555.
It seems that some previous overseer disliked dirt floors, because most of the floor is made of phyllite blocks. While this may have some purpose, it prevents me from easily blocking off passages.
Although the moans of the undead have been ended, they have been replaced with the crash of burning, falling trees(49 so far).
I am somewhat sad that I do not have an extinguation spell.
After all, now we do not get the pleasure of knocking down the trees,(;?) with our own axes.
Arx created a masterpiece Slab. The trolls are going to love this.
10th Felsite, 555.
Gwolfski is demanding that I create ballista parts. Demanding
me! But I suppose I have a volunteer for the newly completed atom-smasher.
Several courage wolf puppies have grown up.
18th Felsite, 555.
The queen tried to make demands of me. DEMANDS. OF. ME!!!
I am the wielder of Rosywander, overseer of Necrothreat, slayer of the horde, grammar nazi extraordinaire, and eater of cheese!
Hopefully, the queen will soon realize the errors of her way. If not... I suppose I will have another test subject for the execution chamber.
19th Felsite, 555.
It has just reached my attention that, yesterday, Imic and a mason fought each other.
After fighting, the mason went right back to work removing constructions, and Imic started walking to the hospital. I have no idea what caused them fight each other.
The mason seems to have acquired no new wounds.
When I am informed about what injuries Imic sustained, I will tell you what injuries he sustained.
In other news, Imic is currently holding the corpse of Kikimlenod Thebilning's corpse.
20th Felsite, 555.
The following exchange between me and Rosywander happened today.
Rosywander:"Oh, dear."
Pikachu17:"What?"
Rosywander:"A magma crab has just given birth to a boy."
Pikachu17:"Magma crabs can give birth?"
Rosywander:"Apparently."
Pikachu17:"Let's hope their boosted ranks can't find a way in to the fort."
21st Felsite, 555.
I took a stroll through the new graveyard today. I saw many interesting memorial slabs.
I read that Dumat Edokthedak killed, and was killed by the Taxarz Romanekeg.
There apparently was a forest titan attack in the year 552.
Solor Stagshilsazir was slain by a RPG gamer in 552. Solar was apparently one with hemp.
Do RPG gamers use Rocket Propelled Grenades?
22nd Felsite 555.
I am working on lowering the power of
The Bride of Butterflies. It seems that, in order to lower it to safe power, I must use a certain magical helm. Hmm... Have I seen a magical helm before?
25th 555.
I was in the barracks training with Rosywander, when some mite came in, and slowly took out six bolts, and a crossbow.
He walked to the back of the room, then shot all six of our archery targets, right in the bullseye, within 7 seconds.
I didn't even know that it was possible to fire six bolts in 7 seconds.
I asked him his name.
He replied, "My name is Vladimir 'Nox' Golubev".
I then said, "You are the 'Nox' I've been hearing about, then?
He gave me the one of the best death stares of my life, then said, with venom in his voice:"My name is not 'Nox'. It is Vladimir 'Nox' Golubev. Say it right, or you will provide me with some handy target practice."
(Glass:hope you don't mind this, but I could not resist making him require people saying his full name.)
27th Felsite, 555.
I have figured out why the mason beat up Imic.
The mason, Ustuth, is the global moderator, and I forgot to make the mandated stuff. I figured this out after he beat up the doctor.
I will try to complete the other mandates.
In related news, I have chosen to punish Gwolfski for villainously destroying a table.
1st Hematite, 555.
It is now spring.
Rosywander informs me that a goblin chemist, and a forumite scholar have arrived.
Rosywander also informs me that the raging fire is no longer raging, meerly slightly mad.
3st Hematite, 555.
Rosywander tells me that a vile force of darkness has arrived.
Also, along with the scholars, some politicians have arrived.
I don't think they can get in, but I, Th4DwArfY, and Vladimir 'Nox' Golubev will station ourselves by the gates, and make sure that those scholars can't get in.
I would use the same spell as last time, but I am afraid that it might kill us as well.
15th Hematite, 555.
The politicians, and scholars have not yet found a way in.
I am in my study, trying to lower the power of "The Bride of Butterflies".
We discovered the elusive bacontaco men in the caverns.
21st Hematite, 555.
We have finally put some ghosts to proper rest. Of course, I could have just destroyed them with rosywander, but I decided they deserved the blessed sleep.
27th Hematite, 555.
Our carpenter has been possessed, but in the make-an-artifact way, not the kill-every-body way.
Speaking of ghosts, a ghost named Arx has popped up. Wait, don't have a live forumite name Arx?
Strange...
4th Malachite, 555.
The universe is imploding! I must get back to the time machine!(my game had the indecency to crash.)
1st Malachite, 555.
I suddenly felt a shudder. I wonder what caused it. The politicians are outside, so nothing dangerous is inside, right?
6th Malachite, 555.
The possessed carpenter made a cabinet. It menaces with spikes of copper, and features an image of the artifact kussad.
It will look good in my room.
10th Malachite, 555.
Imic has been found dead. Autopsies are ongoing, though the doctor is dabbling in autopsies...
12th Malachite, 555.
The autopsy has been completed. According to the doctor, Imic died of dehydration.
Comments
Th4DwArfY: I have forumited you as a battle-miner, which means both of your requirements have been filled, even though only one needed to be filled.
Smoke Mirrors:We do not currently have any name-able scholars, nor do we have knife-users. Do you want to wait for a scholar, or be forumited now?
Also, did you know Quill Arcane was already created, and died already?
Glass:Do you mind that I have "Vladimir 'Nox' Golubev" be very insistent that his full name be used, and that no shortened version of his name be used?
Apiks:How many extra days have I gotten?
To elaborate:Rule 10 says "Every medium (three paragraphs) to large (above three paragraphs) update will net you an extra day to finish your turn".
What do you mean by "update"? Do you mean post, or one day's entry in the journal?
How many extra days have I
choose...
my...
own...
paragraphs?
If yes to the first, could I please spread what I've already posted out a bit, then tell me how many extra days I get from that.
