Reds' journal entry, date unknown.

Blood and gore, covered me today as we watched Carol be executed, he landed so close to me that I saw his last moment of life as his ragged body exspired...I saw the very life pass from his eyes...that will stay with me forever...

Reds' journal entry, date unknown.

They set up a work machine in my room today, using it makes me sweat...the sweet makes the smell of the blood that stained my cloths return, and the thaught of blood returns me to my youth and the terrible goblin seige that left me alone for eight years to fend off hunger and pain...but now memories fade as the gears of the pumping machine grind on...a sound that has left me cold...

(finally got that pump in...=P, Red is now cold and obedient, and will be easier to manipulate...

Prisoner #22 log, Newts diary.

She agreed! Finally I'll have some peace and quite away from that wretched woman!

As the rest of the prisoners drudge back to their cells, I'm left alone with Minkot, seperated from the others.

I suddenly wonder if this was such a good plan.


OOC: Any chance of getting a brief run-down on the prisoners mood Mart? Be interested to see how the prisoners are taking all this in-game. :-)

[Eita]

You know, if there's ever a sequel to this, Tweak could give us a ton of throwaway prisoners to test execution things on before most RPers come in.

[martinuzz]

Well, as for moods:

Minkot is ecstatic. It seems he is very happy about having his own bed instead of having to sleep on the floor with the rest. He has been content at work as well, having produced many a masterpiece.

Dresdor is still quite happy. Making statues helps him not to think too much.

Petyr is ecstatic. She must have lost it. 'Look! Don't you just luv my latest coffin? It is almost as beautiful as that marvelous statue of a chained dwarf they have placed near our well'...

RED is grumbling a bit, but at least he is happy again. That nice door that locks behind him is so totally his style.

Grath wasn't too happy. She was dehydrated, for they had to go inside again before she had a chance to drink. The next feeding round though, she had to admit the well was beautifully designed. Which made her forget her worries for now.

Newt is quite content. Billy's whistling kept him sleepless for days, but now he's in solitary, he can catch up with some sleep.

Billy is also quite content. Her naivity probably keeping her from breaking.

Looking at that nice door made Jools and Sheb forget they just witnessed Cerol's death. Both quite content.

All guards are ecstatic.

Hmm. Those five point in building design for Aqizzar are paying off. All prisoners having happy thoughts for well-designed wells and bridges.

[Eita]

Dwarves are such strange creatures......

[martinuzz]

Zuglar couldn't complain. Even though every move he made was watched over and reported to Aqizzar by those two foul children of Spazz.
He lived. And that was more than he could say of most of the prisoners he had arrived with.
He had buried them himself. What was left of them. Below the Square of Welcoming, a large cellar had been dug out, and Aqizzar had ordered it to be filled with coffins.
Since last month, Spazz's eldest son had turned of age, and had been tasked with woodcutting, so Afer would have more time to watch over the prisoners.
This meant for Zuglar, that he wasn't pestered that much anymore. Those two kids together had been mean.
With his elder brother, Bomrek, absent now, most of the time, Amost wasn't too bad. At least he didn't try to intimidate him all the time.

He had even made a friend. At morning, he had started to teach Zan, Minkot's youngest son, to read and write. Nobody seemed to mind that. In exchange, the child would smuggle him a small flacon of high spirits, a brew distilled from hemp.

The Judge had ordained that all children should recieve a daily dose, to help them 'become real dwarves'.
In fact, Aqizzar had told Orblock of the brew's suggestive properties, and had been slowly brainwashing them, making them believe their parents were criminals, and they had been rescued by the prison guards. Zuglar didn't know this though, and had gotten quite a liking to the drink.

Zuglar sighed.. There was nothing he could do but obey Aqizzar. He would surely die if he didn't.


WHoa. 200th post already

[Flar Moonchill]

Lol prisoners been making friends has he? Which of the guards will be crying at his funeral?

[martinuzz]

Lol prisoners been making friends has he? Which of the guards will be crying at his funeral?

No, no.. Zuglar is the prisoner of the first wave who was swapped with the real escort by Aqizzar, so she could have him deliver the false King's orders.
Since then, he has been a member of the prison guard, being under constant surveillance of either Aqizzar or Spazz's children. He has befriended Zan, Minkot's youngest sun.

[dresdor]

So how am I only a novice mason?

The events of 8th granite, 1053

'Undead!!'
Spazz's eldest came running inside.
'Groundhogs again? Bitch'll fix that.' Afer replied dryly.
'No! A cougar! It's come inside the walls!'
Without any furder ado, Afer rushed outside. 'I'll handle this then. Wouldn't want to lose a good dog.'

'Bah.' Afer said. 'Undead weaklings. Now gimme a drink!'


@Dresdor: You've been making statues for about a year now. Sometimes you have to eat, drink and sleep as well. And I had some difficulty supplying the prison with enough stone. Fixed now. It is dumped with the food.
Don't worry, you'll get your skills.

[Silu]

How is Grimwold doing? STILL listing all the junk around the fortress?

And you did set record keeping to it's maximum priority right? Unless you do that, his going spend his time just standing still, drinking wine or whatever you have. If you did, what's his stats? Anything maxed?

[martinuzz]

He is a talented record keeper, skilled stone crafter, proficient weaponsmith, regular wood burner, mason and carpenter. His social skills are all dabbling.

His stats are: Very strong, Very Agile and Tough.

I set the precision to medium for now. I find that offers no problems. He does a lot of other work.
It might be about time to switch to high precision.

[Aardvark]

Man I love to hear about Afers exploits, she is turning out to be a regular character now.
But I was wondering about what would happen if a prisoner became legendary in any job. Will these prisoners be given amnesty or something for their legendary crafts for all of dwarfdom?

[Grath]

Excerpt from the journal of Grath Creviceink
I have no idea why I've been sent here. The guards won't talk to me, and I've only ever seen a few other prisoners. I keep trying to tell the guards that I'm innocent, but they won't listen. They won't even tell me why I'm imprisoned here...
Then there was the whole matter with Cerol... And the seventeen prisoners that vanished before her execution...
My god, I think I'm never going to be free.

20th Granite, 1053


'We come with a song,
A laugh and a dance
We bring you some cloth
A fine brew
and some plants..'

'Not again', Orblock thought.

'We're jolly
We're folly
We're full of it all
We're merchants by trade
And have come to enthrall..'

Orblock was moving fast, to the prison camp.

'We bring you the best
Of the marsh and the swamp
Where the nights are so dark
And..'

'... You should bring a lamp!'
'Yes, that's a good one, Thele! You are brilliant! absolutely brilliant.'
'Thanks, Ithithe!'

'So, now,
Please don't delay
And bring out your goods
And, if you have some
show us your goblin loot..

Orblock had arrived at the prison's gate, where Afer was standing watch.
'Go keep those elves busy! I'll have a surprise for them soon!'
'Judge?'
'No questions. Go!'
'Allright. I'm off'

'And remember
To treat us
Respectful and nice
Or we might be forced
To alter the prices!'

'Allright, Elves. This way to the trade depot.' , Afer called out to them
