Cog's Journal, 5th of Galena 320Due to boredom issues, Derm and his squad went down to the first cave level to remove some troglodytes. I gather they had some good success at that.
I pity those troglodytes occasionally. They continue to pay for breaking Derm’s thumb.
Events of the 9th of Galena 320Crifmer examined the product of his many months of experimentation and effort. But at last he had achieved success.
A platinum war hammer. Surely this would be a weapon to fear in the hands of the military.
Cog's Journal, 10th of Galena 320Just when I was starting to wonder if Vucar and Asmel had finished having children, she gave birth to their 18th child today, another son. They now have 11 sons and 7 daughters, including the daughter who was tragically killed a couple years ago now.
Events of the 12th of Galena 320Sturist the Axedwarf was very excited, particularly since he hadn't managed to get to the caves in time to kill any Troglodytes. The steel armor was slowing him down severely. But now an Ettin had arrived in the local area and Derm had his squad throw dice to gamble on who would get the first shot at single combat against this beast. Sturist won the game and now he was heading out front to confront the beast.
As he approached the gates, he heard screams of panic from Mafol Warmthclasp, a child of Kezan and Tosid. “It’s the Ettin! Don’t let it get me!” The child apparently had wandered out front and the Ettin was now chasing him.
The ettin was roaring with excitement at the prospect of chewing up a dwarven child. Fortunately, this child was fast and Mafol was just barely outrunning the Ettin. Sturist unsheathed his adamantine axe and charged to the rescue. He ran up beside the Ettin and shouted “You want to eat dwarf? Try me on for size.” And with that he swung his fist at the Ettin’s arm with all his might. His hit bruised the arm. He smacked the other arm with the flat of his battle axe.
The Ettin was just standing there, immobile. It seemed to be slow to realize that it was in trouble, as it was still focusing on chasing Mafol. So Sturist punched right in the jaw of the left head, sending it reeling. Then with two quick swipes of his axe, he cut the right arm off and then severed the Ettin right through the belly.
Sturist wiped his axe of and smiled with a bit of satisfaction. First blood for his axe was an Ettin. That was something to thing about!
The Kills of Sturist
OOC: Finally something interesting. And there is more to come. I’ve got two updates for today to make up for not posting yesterday. Work kind of kicked me in the face a few (dozen) times yesterday so I didn’t have any inclination to put the finishing touches on the update. So I’ll post a second one later this afternoon.
By the way, I literally assigned each member of Derm’s squad a number and rolled to see who would
@Thatdude: Love it! Fortunately, you’re going to get some opportunities to shine soon. Stay tuned!
@Urist Imiknorris: Glass ramps, done. The ramp text in those design drawings is just generic; materials are generally TBD during construction on those CAD drawings. Let me know what you've got in mine for the GCS as well!
@kisame12794: You’ve got your platinum war hammer now! Congratulations! Nice idea about the shrine. I might actually add a couple floors to the design or something.
@Karakzon: Actually, we haven’t seen a single unit of platinum ore here. I’ve been importing it a few bars at a time for the past 18 years. It’s one of the few ores that doesn’t occur naturally in Towersoared.
@dermonster: Obsidian shrine, done and done. One on one combat, done as well.
@bayar: Yes he does. They just don’t seem to be healing at all.
@breadbocks: It will be going north and west of the shrine in the outer courtyard area. I’m adjusting my plans for the outer courtyard to incorporate the shrine, but rest assured that the inn will be added to the area as well. And then the duke will be relocated.
@Stuclev: I’m looking forward to seeing what these weapons get named. I’m still working on getting your armor but you’ve at least got the weapon now! At least we managed to find a fitting way for you to christened it! Sorry there's not combat report, it really was just a page of you beating the crap out of the Ettin.
