Day 37...
Nirur unseals the many hatchways and doors and comes out of his tower basement. He checks the constructions on the walled off hospital...But it is still sealed tight as a vault. Next creates blocks 8 blocks, working furiously in his customised workshop. (-8 rock +8 block). In the afternoon and evening he sleeps and eats along in his basement, with only his crudely engraved tables to keep him company.
That night though, during guard duty. he notices movement in the dark. He peers and crouches low in case of attack. From the volcano-side, he sees figures moving indistinctly beyond the walls. They seem to notice with time, and they hold still. But Nirur is confident he knows where they are and he fires a bolt at his best guess estimate and it shatters on a rock. However. The shadowy fuigures bolt and scatter in different directions. He remains on his guard the rest of the night, but they are not noticed again....for now.
Cheddarius Butchers the werewolf. He strips enourmous slabs of meat off and adds them to the stocks, Much of it is wasted but days and days worth of food are salvaged from the body. The butchering takes time, as the meat is tough and sinewy, luckily the thick tough hide is hard to tear and gets yanked off without damaging it further. * 8 untis of strange meat and 8 units of sinister fat are piled into a barrel with the rest of the meats. (+8 strange meat +8 sinister fat +spooky wereskull + savage werebones + imperfect wereskin) He works even harder on his next shift, the toll wearing on his healing body, but he is healthy enough to withstand it for now. (280/400%done) He works to his limits working on the next iron breastplate, it is mostly complete but not done yet, he stops once he feels his wounds getting to him.
Adwarf works madly, preparing for some unknown project, first he crafts 2 mechanisms, then he makes 2 more, its all a learning process for adwarf but it must be begginners luck because they seem appropriate enough. he then installs a lever into the tower 1 basement while nobody is there, before falling sleep.
Garul finds the 8 silver bars left at the forge, and makes makes half a stack of silver bolts (120/200$%done). In the afternoon, he takes care of some personal matters, and washes away the unsightly pools of blood at the entrance. In the Evening he patrols a bit, and much to their surprise sees 3 kobolds once he turns the corner around the perimeter wall. Garul turns the corner and sees the 3 kobolds boosting each other up to try to peek over the wall. He is outside the fortress walls, checking the outside perimiter, but they spot him and quickly scatter before he can get a good shot. He fires at one of their backs anyways but it was too far.
Cog Fires up the Kiln, and begins working on a set of tools, prods, knives, forceps, and other trinkets suitable for surgery. Work begins and he makes some progress, but each tools takes a few tries to be up to standards, and he estimates it will take quite some time at this rate(80/1000%done). Thereafter he does his daily bandage change, Ochita's infection has not seemingly gotten worse yet, Urist sleeps seemingly calmly, Hrodegr has made very good progress on his recovery, he could go back to work now probably, but maybe he is lazy, and Cheddarius realy feels sore, either that is a good sign or he worked too hard, Cog cant really tell with his knowledge. Theres probably a small risk but dwarves are hardy.
Day 38 approaches....
