Thughts of 'Thatdude' the marksdwarf
Making a shrine to the 'soulchopper' now? Well the only way cog could make his love for him even more obvious is to either worship or start releasing his spores every time he goes near him... Heck I think he does anyway... If their making a shrine to him why not go the extra mile and have a giant statue of derm above it or a statue of his axe! Maybe you could also have a bloody forgotten beast or are you too busy standing slack-jawed in worship to put such ridiculous over the top ideas into the design. OCC, a serious suggestion there actually :P
In other news, I get to hope a forgotten beast is stupid enough to wander into my range. Yay (/sarcasm). Life is full of joy and surprises. Like the goblins not coming around for any more target practise, or more like some fun for Derm... I wish he would trip over into those magma moats in the dining room one day...

Speaking of Forgotten Beasts, once the shrine's done I'm going to "borrow" the GCS and try to set up a trap for them.

Thors journal
I heard rumours of us hammerdwarves getting nice shiny platinum hammers to go along with or adamantine armour. Never before has it been used for weapons. I'll miss Nirmekdodok but my new hammer will be more effective. TIME TO GET DRUNK!

OOC: maybe you should put all the named weapons in the shrine

Podium should be made of obsidian though. Nice contrast, I would think, with the clear glass floors. Although I have completely negative experience with interior design so it's probably stupid.

Also holy shit I have a shrine 0.o

I approve this one-on-one combat.

Sturist's Log

Ahh, 'tis a grand day to be a dwarf! My love for all dwarf-kind is prominent at the moment, for I am now the proud owner of one of those Miracle Metal Axes. There's a technical term for them, but I didn't really pay much attention to the smithy as he handed it to me, my joy was far too much! I think its called adamantinium... or adamantine? Something to that effect.

On one of my many many visits to Cog in thanks for my axe (I hate no idea what to name it just yet, I want something intimidating yet beautiful, I was thinking Mountainblade, but according to my friends you name your axe in a burst of inspiration) I saw one of the plans for the new temple to Derm and the Axedwarves! I must say I'm very impressed, we receive so much recognition already, but this is just amazing! The planting dwarves were looking very jealous this morning, fantastic!

The goblins have been very quiet lately, and my new axe craves bloodshed! Something must be done...

Cog's Journal, 5th of Galena 320

Due 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. 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I pity those troglodytes occasionally.  They continue to pay for breaking Derm’s thumb.

Events of the 9th of Galena 320

Crifmer examined the product of his many months of experimentation and effort.  But at last he had achieved success.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A platinum war hammer.  Surely this would be a weapon to fear in the hands of the military.

Cog's Journal, 10th of Galena 320

Just 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 320

Sturist 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!

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.

That's totally awesome :D I'll do a another log soon, but I've just had an English exam today so I'm not really in the mood to write more :P

Are the elves decent trade partners for Towersoared? Because if not we could possibly get some invasions from them if we show their traders some dwarven hospitality ;)

Too late, he already sleeps with his axe.

I had an idea, it's crazy and insane and time consuming. It's so dwarven it HURTS. But it HURTS SO GOOD.  We have our entrance with it's moats right? How about a magma fall on the outside of the walls, so that as traders pass through the might gates of tower soared, they pass between twin magma falls, signifying our conquest over the mountains and the great seas of red below?

Run them up the back of the entrance towers and then have them run down the sloped tops of the towers, into the moats, and then drain back into the obsidian farm reservoir.

could fit in twin bridges to channel the magma over the gate to bathe foes in a magma fall as well if you get bored of the lovely magmafalls.
