man this is the fifth time I found a daemon above ground, and it always when I'm trying to protect a site.
okay to explain this story from the beginning, it's 40.15 I heard news about stress and wanted to build an army of companions only got up to 3.
while looking for more people to recruit I found this daemon who pretty much camping outside of the fortress entrance nearly escape the ambush.
my companions wasn't lucky (when we escape I lost 1 of the 2 serpentman)and my axedwarf friend got hit pretty hard and mostly paralyzed, so I told him to wait near the entrance in hopes of pulling in more people.
after failed attempt to grab any one due to Daemon lurking outside, some how I found an group moving into the site and figure I could grab them to boost our odds.
only to find out it was the other serpentman, when I figured out there was no one new I heard noise outside... it was the same daemon rushing in. I pick the wrong time to have this encounter since it was pitch dark and the normal traders are asleep, so I pretty much up and ran look back to see my paralyzed friend still waiting for me get murder instantly and hoping
the beast picks off the sleeping peasants so that it would the peasants wake up and do that thing where they gank vampires. except it decided it's best to run into the hatch.
So now I'm standing here realizing that I'm not properly prepared for security, and more afraid what my supervisor going to say when/if I report back.
