Carefully pry what you can see out of the mine with minimal vibration while floating on hoverboards (barely any Materials gained, but safe)

Restart Mining, get Material. (Steady Material flow again, but cause the burrowers to start appearing)

Ignore Mine. (Explain in post, please)

[Twi]

Random note:
First action, if possible, should be to seal off two of the three entrances as best we can, so that we can divert more people (three?) to the one remaining entrance.

[Lillipad]

Twi, the point of the game is to guard three points. What would happen to the game if two of those three are sealed off?

[Aklyon]

We can't seal the entrances anyway, the dome wasn't built to be breathable like a shirt, its just a generic toxic atmosphere-proof dome. (the atmosphere is breathable, though)
Update making.

[Twi]

Perhaps so, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't exploit every means possible to survive.
And this is the Dwarf Fortress forums.

Knew it!

Then again, with enough concrete...

[Aklyon]

DAY 1
They come, and The Dome is fully prepared. 5 come per side, barely strong enough to count as scouts.

........................................................Griph Stands at the Southern Gate, scared yet also not scared at the same time. This 'ere Sword never let 'im down before, why should it now? CHARGE! ((Lilli, if you want Griph to have a different battle cry or whatever, post it))

Roll: 18
Griph slices through all 5 of the weaklings with ease, and calls a challenge to the forest. "Is that all you got?!"

Bo stands at them there gate,which one was it 'gain? East? na, there ain't no east gate ya dummy! The West Gate! Bo is standing at the Western Gate wi' Betty!
...Where is my goshdarn backup guy? Ah, there he..is...George the murderer?! Well, as long as 'e keeps his damn distance, I s'pose it'll be fine.
George just stands there, listening to the loud redneck. Why oh why did he have to help the freaking redneck shotgunner? Griph, Twil, even Vads would've been better! But Griph went and volunteered to die, so I'm stuck with the new guy. *sigh*

Rolls:18,11
Bo blasts 3 right out, and severely injures 1 more. While he reloads, George slices it and the other to pieces.

Twil stands at the Northeast gate, glad theres finally something to shoot.Of course, there being stuff to shoot is actually a bad thing on this scale, but look at 'um! they shouldn't even be counted as scouts, the tiny lil buggers!
Vads also stands at the Northeast gate, wondering who the hell let the movie plot loose. Oh well,he thinks, a jobs a job. *Cha-chink!*

Rolls:20,5 (WTF?)

Twil shreds all 5 to pieces beofre Vads even notices them, and then yells at Vads for not helping.

Griph's high rolls will be more slightly damaging than the others, to offset his loneness a bit.

Any RP talking you guys want to do (or non RP), or should we skip to day 2?

[Twi]

Hell yes!
Notes for various actions that are not RP nor combat: Construct waist-height barricades at Northeast and West Gates. We need cover for our gunners.
For RP:

----
Twi contemplated the hopelessness of their situation.

"There's no way we can survive the horde like this. There are three entrances and only five soldiers to defend them. A good fortress can hold out against massively greater numbers of foes, but this isn't a good fortress. Our best bet would be to seal off two of the entrances with concrete and fortify the third like there's no tomorrow: maybe even shut ourselves off from the outside world completely, but we need the tech from the outside. We need some serious force multipliers: powered armor; robotic defenses, or remote defenses controlled by the citizenry; better weapons; more people; anything."

[Lillipad]

There are two sword guys, a barricade would only get in the way Twi.
Battle cry: Another day, another dollar.

RP:
"shut up about sealing off some entrances already!"

[Twi]

RP:

None of them are at my gate. >_>

RP:
"Why the hell should I? It's hardly the most drastic action we could take to try to save ourselves, and one of the more effective ones."

[Bloogonis]

"Oy I wouldn' like dis 'ere dome falin on me 'ead. oh, Ey, what be your think'n on dees doom fellas be makin a nice gumbo? I mean, yeh cook sum'in long enough and add enough hot sauce it taste durn good."

Use some rubbish to scatter around the entrance at ankle to knee hight to slow them down a bit, leave a winding path clear in case we want to leave for whatever reason threw the gate.

Love the "na, there ain't no east gate ya dummy!"

[Twi]

"Now that would be a pretty awesome feast. Assuming we didn't turn into them ourselves or get poisoned or anything."

[lemon10]

RP: Godamn redneck, how can i tell what the hell is he saying. "Um. bo? Could you please say that again, I didn't understand you the first time. "

While blocking off the entrance completely wouldn't work, and barricades would be bad for the swords people, i think we should bottleneck it a bit so only a few of them can come through at a time.

[Bloogonis]

"I says, we could possibly make some durn fine gumbo wit dees here doom monstahs. Doom Gumbo, has a Nice ring to it. Heehe he hehe. But that Twil feller be right, probably have to Cook'em for a good long while make sure the viruses be eatable."


---
Is there like science equipment or scientists in the colony studying the virus? If there are we should send them some samples like simple dead doomy and laser sword cooked doom monster etc.

[Lillipad]

"I refuse to eat anything made out of these things. I'd sooner try eating the dome than do that."

[vadia]

"That is sick, these were our freinds until the virus."  Vads says as he scans the room for what to barracade the doors.  "I don't think anything is strong enough to keep them out for long enough to make a barricade useful-- unless you want to use the food crates?"

[Aklyon]

Yes, there are scientists. and farmer people. and etc.
You guys done talking?
