I'm not sure if I can FIND Tanak's bow. I can't remember if it was decorated or not. I'll see what I can do though.  ;D

Skid is still alive because unlike Toltot she isn't missing her throat. She is just badly broken.

12th Opal

Warriors stood guard at the gates as civilians poured into the depths of Flamebanner. Hawkfrost stood on the walls with Barbarossa, checking names off a list.

Deeper in the fort Fireheart and Orwen made sure everyone made it to the gathering point, one of the new vault rooms that was still empty.

Seeing the last Dwarves safely through the gates Hawkfrost prepared to give the order to close the gates. She was dismayed to see Wok and the other gate guards heading into the Hotel instead. "Close the gates!" Hawkfrost shouted, realizing that there was no time to waste going to the Hotel.

As she and Barbarossa moved toward the stairs they could hear the creaking of the stone gears as the gates slowly fell to block the only entrance to Flamebanner.

Descending past the workshop and bedroom levels Hawkfrost reached the vault. "Its done!" Hawkfrost called through the heavy wooden door. A moment later the door flew open and Hawkfrost was nearly trampled under a wave of Dwarves...

OK, I had a nice entry written up describing the situation but just lost it to a computer screw-up so I'm just going to do this the cheap way.

6 Warriors chose to stay in the Hotel. I plan to dig a tunnel between the workshop level of the fortress and the kitchen level of the Hotel to rescue them.

Nekik and Tirist were left behind in the Manor because they are wounded. A rescue effort by tunnel would likely take far too long.

I'm leaving the matter of Nekik and Tirist to you guys. I can try to tunnel over to rescue them or we can leave them to die. Tirist is our best Weaver and Nekik is a Warrior. Nekik's arm is mangled while Tirist is missing an arm.

All apprentice squad makes their way there, while the two who are trapped hastily try and build a wall, or tunnel, while others tunnel towards them as well.

Also: I figured you wouldn't be able to find it, so no worries!  Of course... you also have the liberally applied gift of artistic license.

Edit for grammatical failure.

I may have found Tanak's bow. Was melting all the weapons and armor in the armory and came across a single heavily decorated crossbow. It might not be Tanak's but it'll do

The wounded died of Thirst. Had to abandon them when the tunnel idea was wrecked due to the fact that I couldn't get inside the Manor from underground...Almost makes me regret putting stone floors in there.

Also Diesalot I've moved our Furnace Operator Olin to Weaponsmithing and he will become your new Dwarf.

Also going to show a potential plan for Titan-Removal in a few minutes.

Here is the map of our surface level showing the extent of our territory.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

My plan is to have the Miners dig that long tunnel, channel across to the chasm (with bridge of course) then then trap the place, station every Marksman that can walk and hold a bow behind fortifications and lure the Titan in to either death or capture...If everything goes according to plan.

The place does look nice though...The best fort I've ever built.  ;D

I also decided that Tanak's brother needed an appropriate title so he is currently known as Tanak's Revenge. If you've got a preference for something else let me know and I'll change it.  ;D

Since there have been no other ideas brought forward We'll be going through with the tunneling plan.

The tunnel is dug, and now Barbarossa is smoothing it then the real work begins.

Just a warning that I may not have any updates tomorrow as the computer has started shutting down every couple hours...Think it may need a good cleaning which has to wait until morning.

Recipe for Possible FUN:

Large numbers of Dwarves
1 powerful Titan
A bunch of Goblins
Very few Warriors

Yes, the Goblins just ambushed us. Might be fun to watch them fight the Titan.  ;D

Right after I get a new dwarf...Yep i can see it now.  Death by kanet being outside, and the titan kicks a goblin into him, which sends them both off a nearby cliff, into water somehow, where a carp leaps up to grab them both, and knocks all three onto dry land, where a group of macaques starts mauling Kanet, the goblin, and the fish, then in an effort to defeat the remaining goblins and titan, you flood the field with magma to kill them, and cover, the titan, the goblins, the macaques, the goblin, the carp, and Kanet in melted rock which hardens into obsidian, and is then broken by a herd of elephants coming and trampling the area, carrying the obsidian forms of the macaques, the goblin, Kanet, and the carp, and the titan (who was in the way of the gates) back into the fortress as the other dwarfs come out to celebrate and gather stuff, running amok and harming no one else, they make their way all the way down into the mines, where a miner breaks into some HFS, and instead of being released, the demons are pushed back by the elephant herd, with the macaques, the goblin, Kanet, the carp, and the titan being used as a battering ram, and as the last elephant disappears into the hellish underworld to do battle with the fiery ones and maul kanet while he suffers an eternity of melting and burning and macaques, and demons, and carp, and a titan, and a goblin, and no alcohol, the lucky miner steps back and walls up the hole with a warning written on it, and wanders off to get a drink.
