Entry #6 - Courageous or Crazy?

22nd of Moonstone, 1069

Horror!  Forgotten Beast Esp has come, and it's not far from our haulers!  I fear our military will not be able to arrive in time.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Our haulers have escaped, but those fools from the Caravan thought it'd be a bloody fine idea to exit via the caverns.  One of their guards is intercepting the beast.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Well he's screwed, but maybe the idiot will be able to drag Esp down with him.

The brave speardwarf has engaged Esp in a close, but hopeless battle.  The dwarf falls but his valiant sacrifice has given our army a chance to regroup and move in on the fell creature.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oh no!  What is this fool doing?  Somehow he must've gotten ahead of the rest of the army.  He's going to get himself killed!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I feared him lost, but he managed to hold the beast off until more of our troops arrived.  Hurray!  A true dwarven soldier!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Esp is enraged, but her might is nothing against that of our troops and with every additional soldier arriving on the battlefield, she comes close and closer to death.  Esp has been felled and the fortress has taken another step towards a safe and secure future.

13th of Opal, 1069

On of our haulers has begun running around the fortress babeling to himself.  He says he claims the mason's workshop on the top floor.  What ever, i fear the fool has lost his mind.  He's carrying bones and ore around with him, stockpiling it on the top floor.  Let him do what he wants.

More birth...more mouthes to feed...im still concerned about the food situation.  I was down at the kennel overseeing the training of our war dog army when i heard a loud yell from Tulon that he finally had everything he needed and that he wishes not to be disturbed in the coming days.  What ever, i fear he's gone completely mad.

7th of Obsidian, 1069

Tulon just came rushing towards me screaming he had done it.  Apparently he built some kind of fancy armour stand.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ill have it placed in the barracks to raise the overall moral of our troops.

What happened to my hospital :/

it seems like a waist to make the hammerdwarves use spears when we have perfectly good spear dwarves that could do it.

Oh, we have do trained speardwarves then. I prefer swords too, especially if good material is a bit thin on the ground. The stab attack is pretty good at getting through armour, and the slash attack still works fine against moderately sized animals.

Am I still alive? I'm a kid with the title of Former Overseer. Is Atir Datanstettad still alive? He was an axedwarf last time I saw him.

What happened to my hospital :/

I built one too, I guess they get moved, torn down, or mis-used. Oh well.

I dont see a kid with the title former overseer however i do see a kid with a nickname.  If that's you then you're still alive.  Atir is in the military as a member of the axe squad.  He's likely our most skilled soldier however i don't think he has performed any great deeds lately.

the thing is the fortress is such a clusterfuck at this point that its impossible to know what's where let alone what's what.  I couldn't find a hospital at first and dwarves werent using one so i figured there was none.  I set up my own, but shortly afterwards dwarves where taken to another hospital.  Since mine was merely a make shift "better than nothing" hospital i dismantled mine.  The one i found is far better equipped anyway.

Entry #7 - Time

1st of Granite, 1070

What day is it?  What year?  Who are these people?  The past few months have passed...it's like i was in a trance.  Being overseer is beginning to wear on me.  I've begun feeling the drain, the heavy weight, the burden of an entire fortress resting upon my shoulders.  I stopped paying attention to what happened around me.  A mole dog attack, birth, children growing up, mining, crafting, building, digging.  I don't remember much of it.  The fortress is safe now, I've saved us.  We're safe.  Safe.  A word i thought i'd never say while thinking about this place.  It was a hell hole when i arrived, but now?  It's almost prospering.  I remember commissioning more wells to be dug, and that all dwarves with the title "Hauler" be stripped of their title to make it easier to recognize their profession.  They tell me the winter has ended and that spring has arrived.  I can't tell anymore.  It's simply a white haze of snowstorms outside.  The elephant calves that we captured from the elves are being tamed so we can start an elephant army of our own.  What's happening?  Dwarves pass me in the hall, and i barely recognize them.  Yelling, running, and the general noise of a bustling fortress.  I've begun blocking everything out.  I'm tired, very tired.  I need to sleep.  The fortress can handle itself for a few days can't it?  Sure it can.  I will sleep.  The farms are being plowed, beer is being brewed, and the military is patrolling the surroundings.  Yes, i can sleep.  Oh sweet sleep, sweet sweet sleep.  I will sleep now and let the fortress tend to itself.  I will embrace my bed.  It's softness and warmth.  I have refused my body this pleasure for too many days now and i can refuse it no more.  I will sleep.

END OF ENTRY #7

OOC:  So i started my turn partway through katana's turn since he ended early.  Should i stop here, or should i continue on to play out my year as well?

[Ghills]

Continue. I'm still stuck on Ardentdikes, so I wouldn't be able to take a turn anyway.

[Sutremaine]

Hurrah! I live! Probably.

The one i found is far better equipped anyway.

Does it have a loom in the corner for no apparent reason?

[Ifeno]

[mcguinty]

[Ifeno]

Could I be Dwarfed?

I can go ahead and dwarf you if you want.  Or you can wait and dorf yourself when it's your turn.  Any specific proffession, etc. that you want?

Entry #8 - Attack

23rd of Granite, 1070

Huh what?  What's going on?  I was just awakened from my long slumber by one of our recruits.  Apparently he has grown attached to his leather hood and given it a name.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Stupid fool.  Regardless, the idiot has gotten me thinking.  I've devised a plan for our future.  There are preparations to be made, i must make haste.

24th of Granite, 1070

First order of business is the execution of our prisoners.  Our marksdwarves will act as a shooting commando group.  The elves are our enemies, but they are still soldiers and thus they deserve to die a soldier's death.

At last!  My great project is completed!  Behold, forged by my hands, in Armok's blood and name, Morusgongith, The Uncommon Squid!  A weapon that knows no equals.  The heavens sing of it's glory.  Armok himself has breathed life into it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

However my moment of glory is truly just a moment.  Shrieks of terror ring through the air.  Tostra Athot the Forgotten Beast has come and is plagueing our fortress!  The time is ripe.  Months of planning, it all comes down to this.  Tonight is the night.  Tonight we will not run.  Tonight we will not fall.  Tonight, we fight!  For we are dwarves!  Armok himself has hewn us from the stone of the mountain.  Our foes are many any they are mighty, but we are DWARVES!  We will not act as cowards, we will not die without a fight, WE WILL BE REMEMBERED!  Let every child of every race on every continent usher our name in awe.  We are the dwarves of Scrubbedcreams.  And if we will die tonight, then let's make tonight a night to remember.  Let us be vicious, let us be fearless, let us be swift, let us be powerful, let us be feared.  Let it be known that we will not go down quietly.  Our foes will tremble at our battle cries.  They will quiver at the sight of our army.  They will fear our blades and they will know the true horror that is a dwarf's relentless rage.  Dwarves, hear me.  Tonight we will go face to face, claw to axe with creatures even the Gods would fear.  And if they smother us in their venomous vapors we will strike them down from afar.  And if they blind us, we will lunge our blade into them and drain them of the blood that gives them life.  And if they tear off our arms, we will rip open their chests with our maws.  WE ARE DWARVES!  They may be large, they may be powerful, but WE are MANY!  If we die tonight the let us make it a battle that will always be remembered.  Let us raise hell, and let armok's blood rain down upon them.  Their blood may be poisonous, but ours runs with Armok's fury.  Let our blood paint the walls and let them quiver at our name.  WE ARE THE DWARVES OF SCRUBBEDCREAMS!  TONIGHT, WE FIGHT!  TONIGHT, WE TEAR DOWN THE WALL!  For Scrubbedcreams, for our children, for our forefathers, for our futures, for the mountain home, for the dwarven race, and FOR ARMOK!  DWARVES OF SCRUBBEDCREAMS, TAKE A STAND!  FIGHT, AS ONLY DWARVES CAN!  FIGHT UNTIL THE LAST MAN!  FIGHT WITHOUT REGRET!  FIGHT, UNLEASH YOUR RAGE!  Armok is watching!
