Events of the 24th of Malachite, 321

Derm ushered his squad nervously into the revised swimming pool.  This time there would be no escape from the mandatory training.  They heard the sound of the door locking behind them at the same time as the gates opened and a wall of water began to flow towards them. 

As the water rose around them his squad was finally forced into swimming.  “Swim harder!” he shouted.  “You’re not getting out of it this time!”

Cog’s Journal, 5th of Galena, 321

Well all the members of Derm’s square are officially novice swimmers now.  They even managed to propel themselves to the doors when I unlocked them after the session. 

On another military related note, our retired marksdwarf came to speak with me about his future.  Apparently leaving the military wasn’t as desirable as he first thought.  His new goal in life is to master all the weapons he possibly can.  I’ve told him he’s free to do so and assigned him to an empty slot in Rifotangir’s squad.  He has also asked for a new name.  He wishes to be known as Garet, Master of Weapons. 


I believe he’s starting with a sword. 

Cog’s Journal, 7th of Galena, 321

Another request to change a name.  The look on this dwarf’s face suggested he’s running from something and didn’t want his original name attached to anything he does here.  I didn’t see any reason to pass on the request but I’ll have Syntic keep an eye on this one.


Cog’s Journal, 12th of Galena, 321

The human caravan arrived in our area today.  I guess the Elves were deterred by the sieges earlier in the year.  I really hope the dwarves make it here this year, the dining hall mural is beginning to frustrate me greatly. 

I was checking on our booze supplies and we are surprisingly low.  Not dangerously so but below 600 units with this many dwarves is a point of concern.  We are short of plants as well. I’ve asked Comp to prepare some more farm plots and our farmers will be down there regularly

 OOC: Slow couple of months but construction is proceeding at a good pace. 

@Ahra: It would be if Derm got any on him.  I’ll keep an eye on it.

@dermonster: Indeed.  It’s amazing how little blood you get on yourself when chopping creatures to bits.

@Thatdude: That is a hilarious mental image.  Nice one!

@breadbocks: You got bitten by a naked mole rat while heading back from the secret command center.  Your dwarf goes outside of the secure zone a short distance to get there.  The injury was pointlessly minor, you walked into the hospital and then walked out again. 

@Karakzon: I’m pretty sure that was fixed.  Winter will tell the tale.

@NoahTophatz: Welcome to the forums!  I’ve posted your dwarf above; he’s one of our many masons.

*laughs at Syntic* That's what he gets for being paranoid. It eventually comes back to bite him. *continues laughing*

Out of curiosity, how did you drain the water out of the pool? I don't see any grates or pumps.

Cog’s Journal, 19th of Galena, 321

Wow, these Kobolds just won’t quit!  Another siege arrived today.  I’m sending out my response to this irritation in the form of Derm and his squad.  The dwarven caravan had better show up this year. 

Wait a minute.  Apparently we’ve got goblins again this time well.  Good grief this is annoying.

Events of the 20th of Galena, 321

Derm quickly surveyed the field.  Three squads were very close to the gates and there were several archer squads among them.  He signaled his squad.  “We’re going, let’s kick these greenskins out!”  And with that he led the charge.  A squall of crossbow bolts from the goblins surrounded them.  And then his axe began to taste blood. 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Sturist was glorying in the slaughter this time.  Right in with the rest of his squad, tearing the goblins and kobolds to shreds with his adamantine axe.  The kobold siege broke almost immediately after they decimated the first squad.  But the goblins remained still.  Derm shouted the charge at the second squad of archers as the last goblin fell.  He heard a retching sound behind him.  Lars, the quiet legendary sworddwarf was crawling back towards the fortress with a bolt in his stomach.  He started running and watched as Bennet and Thor lead the charge. 

Omen was waiting at the gate for a signal to enter the battle when a troll lurched through the gates towards him.  There were no other dwarves nearby so he braced himself and stabbed with his spear.  One shot went straight into the trolls chest and then the second one slipped up and went straight through the troll’s skull.  It collapsed, dead from the blow. 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Thor dodged through a wall of bolts just as he had seen Derm do on so many occasions.  Then he started ripping into the goblin archers with his hammer.  Suddenly a troll was right behind him.  He swung hard with his hammer and crushed the troll’s skull with a single blow.  Suddenly all went quiet around him.  Derm gave the call, “to the hills, there are more up there!”  Thor watched as Bennet charged off. 

Bennet arrived at the hilltop well ahead of the rest of his squad.  As such he was unprepared when a swarm of trolls charged up at him.  It was all he could do to dodge out of the way, once twice and then off the edge of the cliff into the moat that protected the fotress.  He braced himself for the expected pain and then landed lightly and rolled quickly to prevent injury.  He looked up at the battle and sighed.  At least he wasn’t heading to the hospital this time.  Then he heard a shout of excitement from Derm.  “I know what to call it!” 

Derm: As his new axe cleaved troll after troll, Derm was constantly thinking about what to call the weapon.  What would match his beautiful steel axe?  Wait, that was it.  He quickly hacked the last troll in half and then shouted, “I dub this adamantine battleaxe Duraduker Adol Rafum.  Beardwaves the Complexity of Coincidence!” 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

“Now then, let’s go kill the rest of these goblins!”

And so the rest of the siege was eliminated without incident. 
   
Cog’s Journal, 22nd of Galena, 321

Other than the unfortunate belly wound to Lars, the siege went perfectly.  Lars had the misfortune to be the only member of Derm’s squad who hasn’t been issued an adamantine breastplate yet.  Looks like he’ll live though.  Here is the kill tally: 

Derm, Soulchopper: 14
Sturist, Axedwarf: 11
Thor, Hammerdwarf: 14
Bennet, Hammerdwarf: 6
Lars, Sworddwarf: 12
Rashem, Heron Marked: 12

Omen, Speardwarf: 1 troll

I also heard the news about the new name of Derm’s axe.  Duraduker Adol Rafum is an interesting choice but it’s his weapon.  Omen killing the troll was a happy accident.  I’m sure he’s thrilled to have gotten his first tally from such an unexpected opponent. 

On a separate note, I have been informed that trading went well this year.  We obtained some booze, surface fruits for brewing along with some metal and other sundries.  For the thousandth time I despair and the absence of a proper trade liaison from the human kingdoms. 

 OOC: Just a couple of pictures this time.  Suffice to say that except for the belly wound, the seige went very nicely.  And Derm named his new axe! 

@Indricotherium: Yeah.  Sadly we still haven’t killed the one that’s guarding the best silk.  It’s peppered with arrows though. 

@breadbocks: To be honest, I used dfhack to drop the liquid level down.  A drainage system is on the list but when I realized the design flaws I didn’t want to wait for the drain to be installed before fixing it.  I’ll be draining it properly now. 

@NoahTophatz: Nifty!

Beardwaves the Complexity of Coincidence!

Quote from: Doc Scratch
Circumstantial simultaneity is a concept more complex than its temporal analogue, and is valuable for examining the properties of paradox space [...] It is an abstraction weaving together the fortunes of otherwise perfectly disparate chronologies [...] It's not fully comprehensible to a mortal mind, and the length I will go to explain it to you will not extend beyond this sentence.

Syntic was becoming increasingly angry, as the only people he had arrested lately were people he actually suspected of absolutely nothing serious. The baron would declare some new rule at the last minute, and then when it was broken it even before anyone heard of it was now a rule he would have random dwarfs arrested. Furthermore, he was no closer to finding out who had sabotaged various projects in the past and they appeared to be laying low again. With no clues to work on he went back to his regular routine of helping out with what projects were short handed, as the help was for the most part appreciated as long as he didn't get to underfoot, and he was able to keep an eye on as many people as he could. He knew that some dwarfs knew that he used these opportunities to see if they were up to anything, and some even resented it. For the most part though he understood there displeasure in it though, as nobody ever likes feeling spied on. The majority of the dwarfs though understood that it wasn't so much spying as it was him trying to be part of the community. Most understood that he actually did enjoy working on new projects and learning new things, and that he wasn't a dwarf afraid to get his hands dirty with real honest work.

Knowing these things about others though made him very aware of these things in himself. More than almost any other dwarf in the fortress he hated being spied on or followed. Being in an angry mood didn't help matters either if he felt like someone was watching him and trailing his every move. Normally he would just ignore it and go about whatever task he was working on at the time, but this time it was truly bothering him. He knew that Hatz was following him around, and it was distracting him from doing a good job, and he could feel that his work wasn't up to par.

Placing down his tools in front of him, he inhaled deeply and slowly let it out. He then took a couple of seconds to recall what he knew about Hatz, and then stood up and walked directly over to the dwarf that was just around the corner.

"Look if you are going to follow me about, why don't you at least come over here and be productive. I've some extra tools, that you can use if you don't have your own, and if you find you enjoy what your doing I can put in a good word for you and get you tasked over here."

Before Hatz could reply he then turned to walk back to what it was he was doing.

((OOC: Battlecat as I know that Syntic should be assigned to work on almost anything, and I'm not sure what he has been working on lately I'll let you pick one of the things that Syntic has been doing to use for this situation. And Hatz you are welcome to respond to Syntic's offer in whatever way you feel like.))
