Cog’s Journal, 6th of Malachite, 321 Another beast has arrived, in the first cave level this time.
The phrase ugly doesn’t even begin to describe this one. I think Derm left scorch marks in his rush to get to the caves. I sure hope he caught that bit about not letting it bleed on him.
I’m very frustrated by the beast on the second cave level. It’s been lurking in a completely inaccessible location in a deep lake. I think I’ll have the gates opened to try and lure it out.
Events of the 7th of Malachite, 321 Derm made his way to the shore of the lake and prepared himself as the ugly bird beast came streaking across the lake towards him. This one was fast, hideously fast. Derm dodged and weaved to keep the beast off him but still was knocked sprawling several times. As usual, he was too busy dodging to keep himself alive to take a shot at the beast.
But then the beast made one mistake. It paused for a moment to take a deep breath before attacking again. Derm swung his axe with all his might. The adamantine blade effortlessly cleaved into the beast’s upper body, tearing apart muscle and gouging straight into the beast’s heart. Blood began spraying out of the wound and Derm quickly dodged away from it.
The beast halfheartedly charged once more before collapsing to the ground. Derm checked himself over. The only blood was on his weapon and shield. He walked over to the lake and rinsed them off to be sure. Another forgotten beast notched onto his axe. Someday he would have to name it.
Cog’s Journal, 19th of Malachite, 321 Martini showed up in the hospital today with a nasty cut on his arm. When asked where he got it he vaguely muttered about looking for some quarry bush leaves in the caves and getting clawed by a naked mole dog.
It’s not life threatening or even very severe so I’m sure he’ll be fine. I’ve sent Derm down to clear the critters out. Martini certainly is an odd dwarf.
OOC: Sorry for the delayed update, it was another busy weekend!
@Triaxx2: Yeah, that would suck. You’re fine and back to training now.
@Karakzon: Good call. I did plan to do that but in the meantime I’ll just make the pool off limits during the winter. It doesn’t freeze right at the start of winter so it should be fine.
@Scaraban: That would be cool except Runesmith isn’t quite as powerful and dead dwarves can’t be resurrected. They seem to be missing body parts if you try.
@Thatdude: The pools are almost done being reconfigured so dwarves can’t climb out of the water.
@longgonejohn: Nice! As promised, here are the various memorials to John.
The cavern memorial
John’s Tomb in the catacombs and his memorial there.
@thriftshopmusketeer: Thanks kindly! I’ve just sent you a PM regarding some dwarf options. I’ll get you dwarf assigned as soon as I hear back from you!
@davros: Thanks!
@Omen: Omen is doing just fine. He’s slowly gaining skill as a speardwarf. Sadly he slept through the last siege.
