A story of Giant Beetles...
« on: January 27, 2010, 08:33:58 pm »

If you keep up with the things that made you sad today thread, you already know I lost my entire fort except for Crabwarrior and Hippoman. Crabwarrior was heavily wounded and died shortly after I arrived as an adventurer. (from a beetle.)

Then I found Hippoman, it was too late, I led the beetle and green slime right too him. I killed the slime but died from teh beetle. I came back as another adventurer, this time Hippoman II, I started too far away, came too late, Hippoman had died.

Now with all of the original 7 dead from Giant Beetles, and after Hippoman II died from the same Giant Beetle that killed his Mother, I thought it was time for a reclaim.

This time I sent out with Lutz II, Tony II, Denver II, Isaac II, Hippoman III, Crabwarrior II, Alfonze, Lennon, Kennath Allen, and Johannes as leaders of the groups of men to rid the fortress of giant beetles, ratmen, giant moles, and antmen.

The story that follows is their tale.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Copied directly from the things that made you sad today thread:

GGRARRRARRGHHHRUUUUARRRGHHH why have you forsaken me so?!

The bastards moved in.

Hippoman, Lutz, Crabwarrior, Isaac, Denver, and Tony are no where to be found, but here is my second adventurer, Hippoman II.

Last but not least, I have the force to take out all those bastards and give my dead 8 a good burial.

Edit:
Out of all the dwarves. Hippoman III died first.

We have a couple of these douchebags.

As I suspected, Lennon was killed by a shot in the back.
And at the same time, Johannes was killed as well.

It gets worse and worse, Isaac II was next.

Another one bites the dust. Seeya Alfonze.

Four dwarves remain. An Insane Woodworker, a injured Jeweler, Lutz II, and Tony II.

Scratch that, Tony II is dead.

List of Leaders:
Lutz II, Denver II, Tony II, Isaac II, Hippoman III, Crabwarrior II, Johannes, Lennon, Kennath Allen, and Alfonze.


~~~~~~~~~~~
Cog and Lutz II live on. The war dog died when I arrived as Alfonze II in adventure mode. Alfonze is still there, but the body of Tony II is gone.

Cog is a goner, but we might be able to save Lutz II.

Are you suggesting that giant beetles are your kryptonite?  ;)

Yikes, the Orcs have a nasty language.  Traditional foreplay would be right out for them; how would they ever "say my name" for one another?  No wonder Ocrs are always so bloodthirsty and violent, they're getting sub-par action.

Only three left.
Didn't notice that Crabwarrior II died before Lennon and Johannes.

There's one confirmed Beetle left in the fortress, who killed the woodworker who actually wasnt insane. But still couldnt move.

The jeweler is still there, and me and Tony are sitll collecting supplies, although I'll im trying to do is attend a meeeting with him.

I almost got attacked, but luckily I'm very agile and I outran the beetle.

Another gone.
Beetle came from no where. He killed his wardog, then him.
I ran back and forth not helping. I fear I'm next. I shall run and give up. My adventurer will come in.

But first I put doors on the second fortress.
Lutz II's wardog killed the beetle single handedly with only a yellow hurt tail as a result.

Cog was elected mayor.

The miasma is piling up.
