OOC: The following is the ongoing repeat of the first 3 months of 324 due to file corruption.
Cog’s Journal, 4th of Slate 324
We have a reasonable supply of obsidian and cobalt blocks for the week. I’ve ordered the mason shops to temporarily shut down and construction to be the top priority. I’d like the ground floor of the inner wall to be done this year.
Also, our booze supply is well into the safe zone. We have over 3000 units now, but I don’t intend to slow down production! I’m sure Argonnek the self appointed booze inspector (drunk) will be pleased.
Cog’s Journal, 9th of Slate 324 A great beast of ice has come to the second cave level. I believe it is Thor’s turn to handle the beast today. It apparently has deadly spittle but I think that’s not too dangerous to an adamantine clad dwarf.
Events of the, 6th of Felsite 324 Thor was having a good hunt searching for the beast in the second caves. He’d already had the chance to slaughter a herd of crundles. The nasty little beasts weren’t dangerous by themselves but a large group could be deadly.
Now he had finally tracked down the beast and was ready to fight. The beast lurched out of the water and as usual for these monsters, it charged him sending him tumbling. However, unexpectedly it spat a glob of icy goo out of its mouth at him. It flew past him into the water beyond. He was going to have to be careful with this one.
He dodged around, just like Derm had instructed, letting it miss him and bowl him around, waiting for an opening. Suddenly, there it was. He swung his hammer with all his might into the beast’s foot. With a crunch the beast’s foot was chipped and it fell over.
Now he could go to work on the thing. He began dancing around the crippled beast, smashing it with his hammer. It kept spitting at him, but Thor was too fast for the monster. The beast’s icy body was tough, but his hammer was tougher. Eventually he broke the beast into pieces and it was dead.
A good fight indeed. He now had two forgotten beasts on his tally. His only disappointment was that the next beast would go to a different member of his squad. On the bright side though, if Cog was right about what hid behind the adamantine, there were dangerous days ahead for Towersoared.
Cog’s Journal, 9th of Felsite 324 One of our newest adults was taken by a mood today. Sakzul began babbling in the corridor and charged off towards the crafting shops. Sounds like another artifact in the making.
Cog’s Journal, 12th of Felsite 324 Zasit, who has been mayor for a very long time had Balta thrown in jail for 51 days for failing to make a native aluminum item. I just don’t get why he would do that over something we can’t even make. I think his long stint as mayor may be going to his head.
In other news, the Elven caravan has arrived right on schedule. I’m sure we’ll get a small quantity of booze and other good stuff from them.
OOC: That’s a wrap for now. I’m pretty much caught up with the lost time now!
@dermonster: You’ve had the scale broken for quite a while now! And no signs of you stopping.
@kisame12794: Indeed he is. Most military dwarves don’t survive this long. In fact, all the dwarves in the army are taking levels in badassery. Derm is just ahead of the curve due to his obsessive compulsive training disorder.
@Syntic: I’d love to see him go up against a huge army. The best I can think of is the entire military.
@Triaxx2: Heh, that would be cool. Shame we can’t resurrect things with the current version of Runecraft.
@Argonnek: Nice!
@Blead: Yeah, it’s hard to believe Derm topped those two. Granted, I think my fortress has been running longer than that succession game survived, so Derm has had more training time that most military dwarves.
