MAY THE FAKE SOULS OF THE DEMONS BE DEVOURED BY DERM'S AXE!

[Siraidan9]

I'm going to laugh if derm dies to the first attack.

[wsoxfan]

Let the fun begin! I've posted this before, but now that we're actually breaking it, I'll repost it

The Battle for the Adamantine – Part 1

Derm heard a loud crash down the tunnel, then another and another.  It sounded like the simple cave in traps that Cog had installed to try and trap a demon.  From the sound of the corridor ahead, it only managed to irritate the beasts, not trap them.

It had been worth a try at least.  Derm had recalled the archers for the moment.  Everyone would be in place to fight the beast but he was going to face the first arrival.  Then a demon rounded the corner.

Derm brandished his axe and charged in to meet the demon as did several other dwarves in the combat area.  It was at least the same size as the forgotten beasts he had fought in the past, so he fought this one the same way.  But much more easily because he had a mass of soldiers fighting with him.  The demon could only concentrate on one dwarf at a time. 

Derm got several shots in, but it was Sturist who got the killing blow, chopping the beast in half with his adamantine axe.  But he heard screeching in the hallway.  There was a massive mob approaching now.

He shouted orders to the archers, “Head to the forward fortifications!” 

OOC:  So demons are now stun proof.  I couldn’t find any information to prove it one way or the other.  Nice to have it confirmed experimentally.  But good grief is the game slow now.  1 fps on a high end computer. 

@dermonster: And so it does.  You didn’t get the first kill but I’m playing more conservatively on the official run.  I promise a Derm vs Hell thought experiment after this is all done. 

@Indricotherium: I sure hope so!

@Siraidan9: It’s really hard to say.  Depends on how many syndromes and fire beasts the dwarves have to face.  A fire demon could probably take down half the army just by dying as a ball of fire.  But at least they survived the first demon!  1 down, dozens to go!

@Triaxx2: You have been sealed in for a while now!

@Blead: Same here!

@Child of Armok:  Indeed!

@wsoxfan: Good choice!

@Riversand: Kezan’s defense designs are incorporated into the adamantine security system.  Even if the army falls, the fortress may be able to survive. 

[Triaxx2]

I was referring to the bridges for the shooting porches actually.

[siraidan]

Woot. first down, shit ton to go.

[Child of Armok]

No, the other demons will flee when they see Derm in a martial trance while he stands above the body of the dead demon.

[Triaxx2]

Yeah, they'll run, but it won't make a difference. He'll just chase them down and keep blowing through them.

[wsoxfan]

Poor demons Ah well, more target practice for the military.

[Riversand]

Quick question, what's Derm's Legendary level?

[Child of Armok]

+100 or something

[Blead]

I asked that a couple of pages back (page 95 I believe)

Back then these were his skills:

Spoiler: Derm the Soulchopper, Runesmith Results (click to show/hide)

Skills:

Attributes:


So if Legendary is 15, then Derm is now a Legendary +115 Axe user and a +123 Fighter.  Yikes!  I guess this is what happens when you train non-stop for nearly 20 years. 

But who knows how much stronger he has gotten within a year time.

I ended up staying up all night reading this, and there is only one thing I can say: Wow. This was probably the most fun I've ever had reading a community fort. The storytelling is brilliant, a more natural feel due to the nature of it's creation. Every character has become likable and relatable. I absolutely am looking forward to the conclusion, and expect it to be as fun and epic as the rest of this thread has been. Truly Towersoared has become a tale that rivals even the grandest lore!

There should be an Epic Fortresses submenu in the Hall of Legends and this should be the first to join it.
