[Heron TSG]

Gee, nobles throw the worst of parties.

[hexedmagica]

Great. Dwarf-Me's wife killed one of my kids? Great.

[thunderclan]

And another was killed at some point...didn't check the Relationships of the kids that have died so didn't realize it until now.

You still have 1 kid alive though 

[hexedmagica]

One's still alive? Well, at least that's good to know.

[sir diesalot]

I put in a vote for Flamebanner to be in the hall of legends, so go vote for it!

[thunderclan]

That was a close one...

17th Opal

The new Deputy was busy watching over the Dwarves that were scavenging the battlefield for loot other then the iron armor and weapons.

Kanet turned as Argonnek and Sable ran up to him, breathing hard. "Flamequill's missing!" Sable said after she caught her breath. "Its not in the Vault or the Armory."

"Send Warriors to patrol our borders, if they see anyone or anything suspicious have them attack."

With a quick nod of agreement Sable ran off toward the fortress while Argonnek dashed toward the Southern border where Arzez was patrolling.

***********

Moving like a shadow through the woods beside the road, Chukukrilgus clutched his prize. Now all he had to do was reach the border and he'd be on the way home to claim his reward.

The sound of shouting Dwarves sent the thief into a crouch as he ducked into a stand of silver galex trees.

The Kobold was so intent on listening to the Dwarven movements that he didn't hear the low growl from behind him...

************

Terrible screams brought Argonnek running with Arzez's squad on her heels. Weapons ready, they pushed through the branches into a grove with a Kobold laying on the ground...or rather what was left of the Kobold, as a large wolf was chewing happily on a leg.

Gesturing to the others to put away their weapons, Argonnek moved toward the wolf but stopped when it raised a bloody muzzle and growled. As the wolf rose to his feet the Dwarves could see Flamequill glinting in the grass.

Coming to the decision that the wolf would be guarding the axe for a while the patrol headed back, leaving Sable staring at the fierce animal. Despite her better judgement the young Apprentice moved toward the creature, who after a few moments turned and vanished into the trees.

As she wrapped her hand around the handle of the weapon flames spread across the surface of the metal, leaving the Dwarf awestruck...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Kobold tried to steal Flamequill, but got torn apart by a wolf before escaping. The funny thing is that I'm fairly sure it was Hawkfrost's guard wolf that killed the thief.

[rickvoid]

Who's a good doggy?

Have a Kobold-snack.

[Heron TSG]

guard wolves! woo!

[Hawkfrost]

I knew that guard wolf was a good idea.

10th Obsidian

As Kanet deflected an attack off his shield he went on the offensive. A thrust from his blade glanced off the armor but the second swing threw his opponent off balance. Taking advantage of the moment the Deputy moved to avoid a clumsy attack and struck with a series of quick swings that sent his opponents sword clanging to the ground.

Sheathing his sword with a grin Kanet retrieved the fallen weapon and handed it back to Stesok. The Apprentice took it with a nod and moved off to the side of the Barracks where the rest of the Apprentices were enjoying a drink.

Kanet turned to watch the match between Argonnek and Arzez. It seemed an even battle but Argonnek slowly gained the upper hand and sent the Warrior tumbling to the floor.

Soon the 2 Warriors would be trained Swordsdwarves as well as Marksdwarves.

25th Obsidian

The day had finally come. The Jewelers, Bone Carvers and Metalsmithes had been hard at work crafting and decorating the items that would be placed into Fireheart's tomb.

Firetower and Newb watched as statues made of diorite depicting Warriors, locked in combat with goblins, undead and a variety of other creatures were placed alongside gold statues of Fireheart and several other civilian Dwarves. Chests and cabinets were set beside the sarcophagus and entrance.

After a while the workers left and the only Dwarf left in the room was Firetower. From his cloak the new Leader pulled out the book he had found in Fireheart's office. Time had worn the binding and the pages were yellowed but the gold lettering on the cover was still intact: Personal Journal of Fireheart Dikemet, Leader of Helmthundered.

Placing the book atop the sarcophagus he turned to leave, stopping at the richly decorated door. Affixed to the middle of the door was a clay seal. Removing the ring from his finger Firetower pressed it into the soft material, leaving Fireheart's symbol on the sealed door for eternity.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've begun crosstraining Kanet and Argonnek with swords. The mining has uncovered several gem seams and the engineers are finetuning the weaponry and making ballista bolts.

[Heron TSG]

Argonnek and Kanet are marksdwarves, right? If so, hammer training might be more effective.

[masam]

I asked that Kanet become a dwarf capable of wielding every kind of weapon in the place.  As he lost family, his lover is in the military, and he was saved by the good graces of the fire heart and islandcall.  Kanet intends to leave this plane after matching the kills of every member of the military up til this point.  (he has a long, LONG way to go thanks to three particular individuals.)

[thunderclan]

You might want to give up the idea of matching the kills of every Dwarf: 2 reasons.

1: They're going to keep getting kills unless I send only Kanet into every battle...which would probably kill you quickly.

2. Currently the number of kills by Warriors/Apprentices is 641...You have 1 kill so that only leaves 640 to go

[thunderclan]

WAS going to have another update ready in the morning but the game decided to crash on me.

[masam]

640 to go it is.
