Doc... *Falls down* Damnit i need some rest

[Hastur]

Doc comes to the scene hauling a copper greatsword behind him. He is too late to actually help in the battle though, and instead gleefully rescues Ochita on a hastily made stretcher. Nirur and his torch help carry, carry down into the fortress all the way to the hospital level, which seems to take forever as it goes down back and forth at least 200 flights of stairs. There Doc Diagnoses Ochita with a broken rib and either bruised or punctured vitals, The grimelings gumming did no serious damage , except for a few minor acid burns and a broken pinkie finger. The vitals could heal by themselves potentially, depending on whether they are punctured or not, and how badly.

stocks gain a copper greatsword

Calm down from the battle lust, and scan the area for the true Hostile...

[Nirur Torir]

I'm seriously considering dropping this. It was fun, but I dislike the way that you misinterpreted Nevyn's action. An unprovoked attack on the only nearby friendly people shouldn't be made purely from a slightly nebulous action.

[Hastur]

Nirur I had a limited amount of information to go on and the way I saw it, either he didnt know what was going on as a player, he was playing his character as not knowing what was going on, or he meant what he said and wanted to attack either the group of snailmen or the group of dwarves, both of those are silly but he took PTSD as a perk and it seemed more feasable that he thought the snailmen were comming not to help, but to harm, and therefore attacked. Its true that I overstepped my bounds by filling in all the blanks(specifically assumiong that he was making an informed choice) but I tried to fix it by having them save themselves and run away. Even now i am not shure if he knows what is going on of if he is roleplaying, "scan the area for the true hostile"? Either I didnt convey well enough that the fight is over, or I didnt account for all the bad guys whereabouts boldly enough. There was some racoons that ran away, one grimeling and the 3 snailmen guards that ran away. I didnt post for like a week since Neyvn and apparently nobody else thought that he was trying to do something objectionable so maybe my reasoning is crazy, all i can do is try to fix it.

In conclusion Yes I misenterpreted it, but there were no consequences(and will be no consequences) and so its all good in my opinion, Alternatively I can go back and edit a bunch of posts, but that seemed like a worse idea to me at the time. I mean this all in the most neutral way possible, hopefully I am not ticking anyone off somehow I am bad at that.

Furthermore; this game is for all of us to have fun, if somonone has complaints or ideas, I am open to whatever. i thought another fight would be exiting but i feel the only interplay i got was not very enthusiastic so i ended it apruptly. If you guys would like time to move forward more or less slowly, for me to describe things less flowery and more numerical, I can show the battle as a series of rolls, if you guys want to advance time with another montage, if you guys want more skill points. Whatever. i would be happy to have more input or Ideas, of what you guys want to happen, like a titan, or the volcano exploding, or a goblin ambush. So far i want the fort to get on its feet a little, so there are not that many monster attacks, maybe you guys want more? less? I dont know. So if im not describing things clearly let me know i can try to change that.

[Hastur]

Nanothnir carefully saws his way free with the blade of the hatchet, and looks around for any more enemies. The skeletal racoons have run far away by now, running along the bottom of the swamp. The grimeling is only a black spot on the ground now, and the snailmen retreated back to their caravan after losing their eagerness to help fight the grimeling.

He stands about in the storm, Ochita has been hauled away in pain already, and the coast seems clear. Still present is Urist and Cog, at least for the time being. The fight was frantic but didnt take that long really, since every second was a fight for dear life. Everyone can still get a a good enough nights sleep if they can calm down. Easier said than done in these Terrifying lands.

[Neyvn]

I just noted it down to battle lust, he was the first attacked by the Skellys so he had worked himself into a Crazy, but failed a few rolls on senses, not knowing what was going on full and got turned around, he did ask for orders, which no one gave...

[Riversand]

Okay, i am wanting to have an immigrant Mechanic/weaponsmith Garul Swiftspike. male if you don't mind.

Garul is a focused dwarf, and one who has a mind to take charge of things. He has a strong fondness for fashioning traps of various sorts. He is also skilled at crafting metallic weapons that he like to use in his traps. He went to the fortress to get a chance to make some traps, without much competition from the more notable trapsmiths. He has a copper spear that he uses, for defense.

The migrants look good to me! You'll arrive shortly. with an anvil.

Day 19 so far...
It drizzles today, the storm seems to have passed, it seems eerily quiet. Not even the blood gnats are coming out, despite the only minor rain. Cogs is recuperating quickly from his sickness.

Ochita wallows reeling from his wounds -. The hospital area is woefully underequipped, but the doctor stays by his side the entire time +, bringing him food and water. His toughness kept him standing at the time but the damage is done, and is healing slowly. His broken rib is reset by the doc during a long and arduous process, luckily he is experienced in this area but whether the internal bleeding does him in will be decided in the next few days. Ochita should be able to hobble about in 4 days if all goes well.

Org spends his timegetting drunk+ and  turning 4 weeks of muck root into 24 units of swamp whiskey. By the end of the day many bottles are filled with the cloudy liquid.

Nirur works like a master in his workshop. he spends more time lining up the perfect malletstroke than grinding down the imperfections, the slabs of rock peel away, revealing the blocks underneath. He converts 5 rock into 5 blocks.

Nanothnir expands the farm, and spends much of his time undoing the damage to the crops that  the skeletal raccoons had done. Why the undead would bother chewing up food is a mystery, perhaps faded memories compell them. he pushes on working hard throughout the day-, making arrow after arrow, he uses up 20 wood and makes 20 more shoddy arrows for the stocks. He finally rests at the end of the day but checks on everything throughout the night at first with great discsipline. but his willpower fails  near the end  and he ends up snoozing a little more than he would have wished. he is tired-.

Eral wanders the bleak landscape in search of something to hunt, but the days journey has her chasing shadows, There is still life out there... strange flying flying creatures hover far overhead, with bizzare tendrils hangin low off of their floating bodies, and large wormlike beasts send waves towards the swampshore every time they break the surface off in the distance. She heads back to camp before she gets too far to return in time and just barely manages to tan 1 hide into leather after setting up a makeshift workshop on the slope of the rocky volcano.

Night 19 approaches...

[Riversand]

cool. thanks for letting me in.

[wolfchild]

woot, you have wood right?,and stone?, i need cage traps mwahahahaha, il also do other mechaniky things if you guys make a good case for it

[Riversand]

wolf, my character is a better mechanic by a factor of 2.
he might be willing to train you, it would be an ego boost for him for certain.

speaking of mechanic, not sure if stone or metal mechanisms would be better. or if that would be situational.

maybe metallic ones have better reaction times, but less ability for stress loads.

[wolfchild]

i got mechanic to make cage traps thats it, sorry didn t realise u were a mechanic too, hell you can make the mchanisms il turn em into traps, the quality of the trap comes only from the mechanism not the mechanic who put it together

[Riversand]

true, but my guy prefers traps that pierce, slice, dice, or maim.
