Dear Blob McFleshBall,
I appreciate your efforts in not dying after a year of constant pounding by my hammer squad. Please continue to act as a punching bag, the rate at which my dwarves' skill is increasing is bafflingly high. If only there were an equivalent for edged weapon training...
Sincerely,
The Invisible Man in the Sky who orders you to be brutalized unremittingly for months on end
Dear Morul "Pitiful Unfortunate", Oddomzugob (Cloistergrand), Woodcutter,
I'm irritated at your efforts in being a werewolf/badgerman magnet. Please STOP acting as a punching bag for every savage creature out there. We're straddling an Untamed Wilds mountain and a Terrifying shrubland in near-freezing weather, and yet you decide to hang around outside past your woodcutting duties! You've already lost one hand and motor function on one foot. I do concede, however, that I secretly hope you'll become the Black Knight of Bronzemountains.
Sincerely,
A fellow Monty Python enthusiast
Dear Morul Idokas (Pointcaves), Wood Burner turned Miner,
Excellent work out there. As you were dutifully mining a vein of hematite on the exposed mountainside, the goblins sprung an ambush upon you and the haulers hanging around the tunnel's entrance. With no way to escape, cornered in the tunnel, I left you for dead. However, in a stunning act of Dwarven badassery, you caved in a speargoblin's head and imploded the chests of two others before fleeing out of the cave and toward the fortress entrance, running past our resident champion Lokum Craftsteels the Tepid Order, who, I imagine, gave you a high-five on the way out. Umozentuk (Rampagewithers), her trusty silver warhammer in hand, she dispatched the goblin squad well before her comrades arrived (her axedwarf companion was busy strangling an ogre, if I recall correctly).
The elven traders with whom the ambush arrived were also killed, just because I could loosely tie the ambush's presence to their caravan and I was in a particularly sadistic mood at the moment. Only two haulers were killed in the ambush, despite me being taken completely by surprise, and I feel that your quick action and precision with a pickaxe deserves an honorable mention. Without you, I'm sure more haulers would have been lost that day, especially since you managed to kill one goblin right off the bat and incapacitated two others-- already half the squad!-- by forcibly implanting a large piece of heavy mining equipment into their sternums without a moment's hesitation. I salute you, good sir.
Sincerely,
