Cog’s Journal, 12th of Felsite, 324Elven caravan arrived today. Not really a point of importance but we’ll get some items out for trading. I don’t expect much, but they’ve always done a decent job of providing us with brewable plants.
The military is busy with preparations and training, the last few pieces of adamantine gear for Derm’s squad are coming off the assembly line soon, then we begin work on adamantine equipment for the rest of the military. And the defenses are very, very close to completion. The miners have carefully begun exposing deeper sections of the adamantine vein.
Cog’s Journal, 19th of Felsite, 324A small breath of life in the fortress, Vucar gave birth to her 19th child today. Another daughter. There really isn’t much else to say on this.
On a separate note, we purchased all the booze and brewable materials from the elves for a single golden crown, a creation of Vucar herself.
Derm's Journal – Combat Exercise Project #3 – 22nd of Felsite, 323Scenario: Second floor storage room vs Thor and Rashem Heron-marked. Both soldiers fully armed and armored with adamantine armor and weapons except for Thor’s platinum war hammer.
This scenario will prove far more challenging since there are no weak points for me to carve off limbs easily. The question here is, will I be overwhelmed during a 2 vs 1 fight against opponents this well trained and equipped?
As I envision it, a perfect defense is second only to a perfect offense. I have both. Eventually, one dwarf will make a small mistake, allowing me to breach their armor. Once through, the razor sharp blade of my axe will finish the job.
I believe I will have to consider the challenge of fighting my entire squad next.
OOC: Derm move up a level, successfully defeating two adamantine equipped dwarves without injury. Coming next update: Derm vs his entire squad.
@Argonnek: He’s doing just fine, out of prison and back to work on examining the booze supply!
@Triaxx2: I’ll have to look into it. In the meantime, you are fully stocked on food.
@Indricotherium: Something like that, although the fortress is incredibly stable. The only danger remaining is through the adamantine. If I defeat that, I might just retire the fortress as is since the fps is getting frustratingly low on my brand new quad core system. We’ll see though.
@Syntic: That’s exactly right. There isn’t any threat that the fortress can’t handle short of amplifying goblins to insane levels. Except possibly the HFS. Which we’ll see about soon!
@dermonster: You’re in luck, I’ve got one today, and another planned for next update.
@dragonshardz: Yeah, I think I’ll claim hell soon. Probably late this year or early next year game time.
