OOC: Kris, you sure got some action there...

16th Sandstone 153
The construction is coming along nicely. I have ordered the stones necessary for it to be hauled to the bassin, as there is enough free space now. Aban Chambercontain, our most talented engraver, processed a small stone tablet to print the current state into this log:
I'm quite excited about the ongoing project sin..." At this point, Lebowski's writer stopped writing, and Lebowski stopped dictating as well. They were stopped by a tremorous stomp somewhere on the surface above them. At the same moment, a fearsome screaming went through the fortress. Struck by a sudden vision, Lebowski could clearly see the southern fortress grounds and, rising up giantly between the small stone boulders, there stood Stasno Prairiecanyon, the lake titan. He was a huge hairy hadrosaurid with thin wings of stretched skin and it had a regal bearing. The lots and lots of yellow hair it had where very curly and from it's behaviour, it wasn't hard to guess that it's spittle was quite deadly. Out of boredoom it shot small birds out of the air and killed even some large land animals. Telling all these things to his writer, Lebowski got informed by him that Stasno was not exactly the most feared beast of them all, he had accounted only three kills so far. His only bonus was the ability to fly, although that didn't actually strike Lebowski out of his seat. "Birds can fly, and insects can, too. We are not fearing them, are we? So why should we fear that thing out there?" That having said, he gave Kris the command and wrote about the events ensueing later on.

Kris went to dispatch the beast together with the new recruit Doren, the speardwarf Fikod and lefty. Fikod happened to meet it first, although they tried to stay together. The beast simply ignored him, going on towards Kris who started butchering it when it was dealing with a stray dog which was running around outside the fort's walls. Lcuk sure was on her side, but she didn't expect the low quality and damage-dealing abilities of her iron sword, because it had been of good service at every single point in her soldier career. She punctured the titan at several points, tearing at the tissue, but couldn't deal any damage serious enough to stop it, not even shattering it's skull caught it's attention. Suddenly Doren, the recruit she recruited by herself, came to help her. Doren hacked unskilled but furiously at the titan's back while it tried to kick Kris in the rock wall behind her. It was looking worse for Kris, she had quite some bad wounds, one even on the lower spine, but the recruit went on hacking, scarring the thing more and more and tearing apart nearly every single scale at it's body, finally getting to the bones, then fracturing them. Doren later stated that she won more experience from this single fight than from all the training of her life afterwards, getting the title of a proper Axedwarf.
Trust me, ALL 22 pages are like that.
Finally, Fikod had taken note of where the battle was being held and joined it, deciding it with a final blow directed at the titan's brain, tearing it apart. The beast was still able to shoot a last portion of it's spittle right at Kris' shoulder, jamming through nearly everything it met and opening a pretty big artery. But Kris, being a woman proud of herself, dragged herself to hospital - regularly passing out - and stayed there, waiting for a doctor. Doren was from now on often called Frenzy, or Slayer, the job name Kris gave her in her squad.
