Time marches on (at single digit FPS)...
It is now Spring of 234. Urist has been Queen for 25 full years. To mark the momentous occassion she orders Mogror and his assitant Ravus Maniacus (the forts other, lesser known mechanic) to draw up plans for great constructions on the surface. She was vague on many details, but Mogror dutifully shuffled off to get it done.
The plannings of the monuments to her greatness were cut short, however. Elves - damn filthy elves - ambushed our great fortress with yet ANOTHER horde! The military force of Blockedlance had dwindled greatly. Dwarves had to run back and forth across the fortress to fight the various squads of elves.
Several elves actually got THROUGH our defensive lines!
In the east, I had to scramble dwarves to stop several elves who had passed through our trapped east entrance and entered our courtyard! ELVES IN OUR COURTYARD PEOPLE!!!
Then more elves swarmed from the west, on the damn OTHER side of the fortress! MadMonkey was there to valiantly fight them off with his bloodthirsty demon sword...but he was only one dwarf. A few elf bowmen managed to get through unbloodied or pursued into the temple foregrounds. They began firing at random passers-by. One of the Duchess' daughters was hit with a Quantum Arrow and pierced through both shoulders and on a hand, leg, and foot. Eberdek was also struck, and then struck again! He fled in terror.
The legendary miner Fil was there on the roadside, witnessing the carnage. He saw his chance for glory and charged forward, ready to mine elf skull.
Thwip!An arrow to the lung! But he didnt go down! Though he was winded and about to die, he kept running forward, pick held high. He swung it down....and missed. The elf dodged backward, firing as he lept.
Alas Fil, we hardly knew ye.....but your sacrifice was not in vain. It bought time for more armed and armored dwarves to arrive on the scene...but not before an ELF got INTO the TEMPLE!!!
A single suicidal elf ran down into the temple firing at the stonecrafter and wounding her slightly before he was struck down.
An ELF. A fucking ELF. Prancing around in the Temple of Armok in his stockings and feathery hat like he owned the place!!!
This is an atrocity. In all of Blockedlance's history we have never suffered such a disgrace!
