Too bad he died.  There'll be another siege update; it's summer now.  Looks like the human caravan won't be coming.

[sonerohi]

Why hath thy forsaked us o lord of the legos!

[LegoLord]

Uh . . . well, Friday I noticed my brother had left his copy of Fire Emblem:  Path of Radiance the last time he came home (which I never got to play through), and then I bought Pokemon: Platinum.

I'll get back to this in a bit.

[sonerohi]

Radiant Dawn is better.

[LegoLord]

Well, I haven't finished Path of Radiance yet, so that'll have to wait.  Unless I'm getting the Wii game horribly confused for something else.

Anyway, on this in just a minute, I've been distracted by VN.

Oh yeah . . . Death, how did the booze supply drop so quickly after you started that little "break"?

10th Hematite, Summer 147
   Another siege has fallen upon Lancerworks; once again, from the goblins, though possibly of a different civilization.  “We have contact” with two of them, but I can never keep them straight.  One is the Equal Dungeons.  They sound rough, but not to much of a worry.  The other is the wordy menace.  I think they’re the ones that fire paperwork at us asking us if we “consent to being sieged.”  They normally siege us regardless of answer, though.

   Incidently I had the main entrance re-routed so that enemies coming through the main gate we actually come within range of our catapult and ballista. It was not a large change; just a few ramps and stairs.  Basically, wagons will get to the depot faster, Donnegan will be able to get to his room during a siege, and the siege weapons will see more use.  In fact, I think we may have to test them out.

   On a side note, Glacies jumped in the artificial lake.  Though it may be tasteless, I must say I am glad about that.  I have been worried the dead might start rising soon to continue their rampages of grief.  We don’t have to worry about that with Glacies, of course.  One of the maddened furnace operators went a step further, ha, and jumped into the chasm.

   Incidently, I write this in bed, as some guard had the nerve to beat me with his axe during a tantrum.  I have ordered all fortress guards to go unarmed.

18th Hematite, Summer 147
   Today is a sad day.  Though the siege has ended, one of our warriors, Kol the axedwarf, has died – not by the hands of goblins, but at the hands of our own ambitions.  He fell in the artificial lake whilst attempting to dodge a foe’s blade.  He had been fairing fairly well until then, as he had been surrounded, on his own, by at least six goblins; among them a legendary lasher.  There was not even a single mark on him.  He did not deserve such a death.  I have ordered that there be a system constructed so that the lake can be drained if necessary, at which time we will also develop ways to improve the lake’s drainage for such emergencies.

Okay, this is really weirding me out.  Does my writing seem excessively morbid?

[LegoLord]

Here's a picture of the aftermath.

That is why you should fight them in the hallway, they getin and people fall into the lake. I wouldnt say its that bad. I mean, I tossed an Orc and there and he just stood up. Maybe that was because the waterfall was on.

Anyway, I stopped booze production for 6 days, and they drop. I had the booze being made all the time.

[death]

Can you put up a file from before you started the whole thing. I would make the map myself but everytime I do, it turns out wrong.

[sonerohi]

*pulls out silvithril trumpet, starts playing taps*

*21 crossbow salute is being done in the background*

[Marzen]

This thing had better be still going, man. Seems alright so far, and I want some HFS

[sonerohi]

Well, it's either Lego gets back to playing, or he notifies us to skip him, or we vote for 3/4ths majority to skip Lego.

[LegoLord]

Sorry about holding this up.  The game's been slow and I've had a surprisingly busy Spring break.  Should be able to get it done soon if I upgrade to 40d11, if that's all right.

[sonerohi]

Wait, people actually do stuff over spring break? All I do is gulp down easter candy and collect all the scholarships I've won that year. So far I've only got $1000, but that's one fifth of my school fee this year so that's pretty good, eh?

[LegoLord]

That sort of concerned my original plans for the week, but things had to be done that took longer than original expected.  Anyway, update!

25th Hematite, Summer 147
   An armorer has been possessed!  I didn’t bother to ask his name; no one really knows him anyway.  It is a sure sign that the demons are trying to break through.  Curse them, the armorer, and whatever it is he makes!

12th Malachite, Summer 147
   The armorer has produced Akrelaroz, “the Rare Savageries.”  I told Donnegan, I said when he showed it to me, a name like that just bodes.  I feel a little woozy; I’m still in bed and it’s been awhile since anyone brought me food, and there’s been that booze shortage on account of all the barrels being full of mushrooms.

   Oh right, the artifact.  It’s an Adamantine high boot.  It’s encrusted with and encircled with bands of tsavorite.  It has hanging rings of Adamantine (a potentially deadly waste of metal if I ever saw one), and it’s covered in spikes of turtle bone, turtle shell (what?) and Microcline.  There’s a picture of an amulet in goblin bone, too.

   Like I said, it bodes.  Just generally bodes.
