Cog’s Journal, 6th of Felsite, 323In the ongoing effort to get the Mausoleum truly established, I assigned a new set of tombs today. We’ve barely got 5% of the fortress assigned, but at least we’ve got it started. I’m assigning them semi randomly although there just a very long list of residents I’m going through. I’ll be honest; I’m making sure my fellow founders get assigned tombs early. Today Syntic, Rogue, Michael, Worm and Iteb among others were assigned their resting places. As required by Undertaker, all coffins are built from marble.
Of course this is being done in amongst the process of establishing our secured adamantine perimeter.
Cog’s Journal, 16th of Felsite, 323The Elven caravan arrived today. I expect they’ll bring the usual supplies of booze and berries which we can use to bolster our supply. We’re up to 2200 drinks now but only enough plants for 3 more barrels so the added materials are welcome as always. They again appear to have forgone sending a diplomat. I guess they really don’t care about our abuse of the mushroom forests!
Derm’s Journal – Combat Exercise Project #1 - 23rd of Felsite, 323Trial one. Rovod Lesatcog Leganrorash Ostar, Legendary Sworddwarf. He is wearing an adamantine breastplate and steel armor, carrying an iron shield, and a steel sword since his adamantine sword isn’t crafted yet. He has many years less experience then me as is the case will all the sword dwarves. Scenario: He goes berserk in an isolated room in the military tower.
My reflexes would allow me to easily get in a starting blow. With the enemy in steel armor, Duraduker Adol Rafum would easily remove a limb such as an arm. It’s quite possible he would then charge me to try to get the advantage. I would stand my ground to block the shot but I might get knocked down due to the heavier weight of my opponents steel armor. It will be easy enough to recover stand up and return the charge once my head clears if I’m stunned.
In the meantime my opponent is bleeding out from the arm and retreating to try and avoid me. A second shot could easily remove a leg and prevent him from escaping. With his leg removed it’s a simple case of finishing him off by removing his remaining limbs until he bleeds out.
Result: Beserk military dwarf dead with minimal impact. Cleaning crew will not be pleased though.
Cog’s Journal, 28th of Felsite, 323Good trading with the elves this year. A lot of wild animals to add to our breeding collection and a good supply of booze and berries. We also purchased some random bags of sand and dye just to round it out.
OOC: The first of Derm’s journal entries. I was wondering what Derm would write in his journal, this seems quite probable. I’ll do an ever increasing series of combat challenges vs other military members to see what happens.
@thriftshopmusketeer: Welcome back, hope you had a fun summer! Garet is doing quite well so far, he’s up to Talented as a sworddwarf now.
@Thatdude: Indeed, it was well played! You are second only to Derm when it comes to forgotten beast kills.
