Current SoundtrackMarsh LandActionsFW: On to the leg!
(...) Your other leg pops out of existence! Thankfully, the stump is patched over with skin. But there's still that other wound to worry about. The mass of tissue ceases spewing from your arm, terminating at about twelve feet in length.
Fantasy:Continue going down into the depths of the fortress.
(...) You spit out Derm's leg and walk toward the trapdoor, immediately tripping over the huge pulsating mass sticking out of his torso! You fall on your face and roll down the stairs into the hallway below, only narrowly avoiding snapping off your remaining limbs!
FW: Head deeper into the fortress.
(...) You sprint down the stairs, trample Frelock, and proceed through a narrow corridor into a large chamber. You're on a cross-shaped walkway, overlooking a dimly-lit legendary dining room. The dining room is decorated with countless ☼engravings☼. At the sight of its magnificence, you begin to drool and
Little Urist stands on end. A sound behind you breaks your stupor. You whirl around to find a Bat Man hovering in front of the doorway!
"Ahhhhhh, reclaimers! Been a while since the last team. I'd turn back if I were you. Bistökmafol belongs to the caverns now, and there's no changing that! EEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE"
You can still see the carnage... The militia fought for days against the never-ending tide of wicked children of the earth. Shambling eyeless Ogres, shrieking Crundles, and towering, chittering spiders massacred the fortress defense squad with wild abandon.
- Tobul's wife was in that squad. He had lost everything. In a fit of rage, he slaughtered Ismel the cavy pup and destroyed the masterwork table of Ingish Olonnakish, the legendary mason.
- Ismel's owner, Mosus, returned the favor, lighting the fort's cat population on fire with the help of a lignite torch and several mouthfuls of highly flammable whiskey.
- Ingish the mason, devastated by the loss of his magnum opus, put Kogan the gemcutter in the hospital.
- Dozens of widowed spouses and mourning ex-cat-owners lost their minds, killing violently and indiscriminately in a berserk rage.
- Urist Zuntîrtob, the local soapmaker, butchered his own pet cat to make a bone crossbow. He fought his way out of the orgy of violence that his home had become, and became the sole survivor of the fallen fortress of Starbrew.
You can still hear the cackling of the denizens of the deep as they ran amok in the fortress, ripping your fellow Dwarves limb from limb. The cacophony haunts you to this day. It sounded like... Like... "EEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE"
"RRRRAAAAAGGGGHHHH!! Begone, foul beast! Back to the festering chasm from whence you came!"
"...Eh?"
You tackle the Bat Man over the edge of the walkway, tumbling down two stories and dashing his body against a thick stone table! The Bat Man's skeletal system shatters from the impact, and the table splits straight down the middle! You lift yourself off the Bat Man's shattered corpse, breathing heavily. Suddenly, two spear-wielding reptile men advance from the darkness!
"Big mistake, Dwarf."
Fantasy: Follow Urist.
(...) Descending the stairs after Urist, you find yourself in a large chamber overlooking the legendary dining room below. You can hear a commotion below in the dining room, but you can't see Urist!
Fantasy: "The same place we all come from- where do you think? Enough of that now, where's Bloodbeard?"
(...)
"The same place we all-"
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOUR LEG?!"
"Oh, uh... It's kind of complicated. You see-"
You're interrupted by the sound of a fast-approaching group of people climbing the stairs just outside the cell!
"Oh my, someone's trying to get in!"
The handle on the reinforced steel door begins to turn...
