OOC:
Fixed the Lava by dumping Water on it. Not for My benefit. But if you guys would have experienced Lag as a result, id feel bad
27'MalachiteDuring the Night of a Snowstorm, I had a rather striking Dream.
A Dream of Humanoid beings, of Snow. Twisted, and Bloated. With Antennae on their Heads.
I saw them Watching Us.
Thinking.
They Want Something from Us.
An Offering.
And a Swarm of Blood passed around Me.
And I felt Warm, and at Peace.
And then I Awoke.
4'GalenaThe Adamantine Mining is going well. And Exploration to the NE is Progressing.
Not much else to Report.
Some other Work has been done about the Place, and some other Places touched up.
Just got to work on the New Dining Room.
Will Log more as it Progresses.
__________The Throne Room has been Engraved. Soon Work wi...
Wait one moment.
DateUnknown'GalenaChange of Plans. We are under Attack.
Military has been Deployed just in case. Will Update with Developments.
DateUnknown'GalenaEnemy Force is Human, and of Unknown Scale. Theyre all through the Mountains.
DateUnknown'GalenaEstimated Fifteen to Twenty, possibly more.
Soldiers are nearly on Standby near the Gate.
DateUnknown'GalenaBig Problem. A whole lot more of them are coming in from outside our Charted Lands.
We may need to start planning Interior Fortifications if too many more show up.
Estimated 20-30.
22'GalenaI have Personally joined our Military. We are Ready.
DateUnknown'GalenaThe Enemy has set up a Siege Camp, effectively nullifying any Trade or Migration.
We have to Sally forth.
And we Shall.
Myself included.
All of Us will March.
And those of Us who Return, will be Praised eternal.
Victory or Death.
DateUnknown'GalenaSome of our Troops are running away.
Thats just *great*.
The BATTLE HASNT EVEN STARTED YET.
DateUnknown'GalenaOurs was the First Casualty. One Dodok, a Hammerdwarf.
Beside Me, one Uggi Mafolnol went down.
Then Nix Dodoktan.
How had none of THEM died as of yet? If this kept up, we would Retreat.
DateUnknownSome of the Humans are retreating. This is getting Bitter. No further Casualties.
DateUnknownDespite our Losses, the Attackers seem to have fallen back.
We shall take this, and Return to the Fort.
What Alarms Me, is that NOT ONE ATTACKER was Killed. Some were Maimed, but managed to Escape.
I hope they do not Return.
7'LimestoneIt is fortunate that is over.
I am unsure of our Injuries, but we lost Three Men. Two of which were known to Me. I believe one or two of them were Former Overseers.
They will be mourned.
Even if Nix was haughty.
OOC: If any of the Dead want to suddenly spurt Blood out of their Mouths and come back as a Retiree, let Me know.
We now require a New Captain of the Guard, Militia Commander, and Book Keeper.
I have Temporarily Assigned Nomal Nishkin to be Book Keeper; Minkot somethingorother to be the Militia Commander; And Oddom something to be Captain of the Guard.
OOC: If any of You want these Jobs, let Me know also. To "Apply".
9'LimestoneOne Shade Ikudorren died of his Wounds from battle.
He spewed up Blood, and collapsed in the Hall.
In addition, a Farmer with a Missing Hand; A Hauler with a Broken Rib; A...
Wait a Minute...
This may have been Murder.
Both of those Suspects will be sent to the Detention Demesne at once, for Interrogation.
13'LimestoneGood News: I found several Human Corpses. We DID kill some of them. Their Bodies were just out of sight.
We killed more of them than they have us.
Turns out Shade scored a Kill:
15'Limestone
Someone just Bled to Death hauling Ore from the Caverns...
I may need to send Soldiers to Investigate.
This could be a Problem.
OOC;
I WANT to go on, but ive gotta go somewere for an Hour or so.
That was the WORST kind of Exciting.
And also the Best.
