Time for Me to Reveal what Demesne really is. 
Journal of A-'Urolerib, 18th of Moonstone.
My Name is Alath Urolerib, Temporary Mayor of this Place.
Our Previous Mayor, Lloyd Fisher, has seemingly disappeared, to whereabouts Unknown.
I was given His Place until the New Year.
Following some 'Suspicious' Activity, after the Death of the one they called "SHADE", some of the Nobles became Suspicious of the Man.
And rightly so.
Upon finding a Locked Door, some ways Underground, a Group of Us forced our way inside.
And found this.
Its a fucking Hall of Death, a-typical of the...
Helms of Imprisoning. A mostly Human Cult of Worshippers, to a God of sorts by the Name, "Armok".
People are entrapped within the Cells, where they are Tortured and Starved and Dehydrated until Death, whilst the Acolyte, in this case our Former Mayor, would stand up above, and Watch from above.
Eight Living we counted inside.
And at least Twelve Dead.
But who knows how many more. In the Year that this Man has been in Office, He had full Freedom to wander this place.
And what if He isnt the only one? It is not uncommon for these types to travel together.
Which comes back to two things.
The Death of 'SHADE', and the Human Invasion.
FURTHERMORE, The Former Mayor, Sirian, is nowhere to be found. And His Bedroom in the Catacombs is Inaccessible.
Was 'SHADE' Murdered, or was 'SHADE' a Cultist? Were the Humans here to Steal, or were THEY Acolytes?
I have Read over Fishers Journal, and found that He Spoke of Engaging the Enemy Himself. But I was there. He was with Us when we went out. He was NOT there during the Conflict.
This, in addition to the ridiculously Regal Residence He holds, with goddamn ADAMANTINE FLOORS in the Throne Room, more than Justifies Us wanting to find this Man.
Weve also found a Corpse, down in the Magma Forges.
In Addition, We believe He has Murdered others in the Caverns.
Soldiers.
There were Reports of a 'Forgotten Demon', Swarms of Monstrosities from Deep Underground, and 'Reapers', and whatnot.
But where? I see no 'Forgotten Beast, Demon, Whathaveyou' Corpse. Or even Remains! But a Squad of Soldiers went down there. And One of them Died.
The Hall leading into the Cavern is bathed in Blood. And as we know, Injured and Maimed folk have made their way back up from there before. And how could Three Separate Miners 'Discover' those Holes into... That Place... With the Screaming.
In any Case, I am going to try and set things right.
And It Starts Right N... Wait... What...
**The Following Text Is Scrawled In Blood Tainted Ink**Hes Killed Us All. That Fucking Cult Will Burn For This. They Opened It. A Hole, Into The Dark Place Below.
Theyre Here.
And I hear MORE Coming.
The Lunatic Killed Himself Re-Opening The Breach.
Our Military has been Stationed in one of the Interrim Corridors. We have Sealed the Caverns. And I have been Injured.
No Less than Five have now Fallen to these Demons.
And another Two, right before My Eyes!
And another One.
And ANOTHER!
YET ANOTHER!
And... And Theyre Spreading.
Four More Dead. We... We Need To Seal The Underground. We Cannot Wait For The Others Any Longer.
Im Sorry.
Fifteen Dead and Counting.
Sixteen.
Twenty.
21 and a Dog.
22.
WHERES THE FUCKING MILITARY.
I have lost count of the Dead. This is a fucking Bloodbath.
That Mother Fucker Lloyd Fisher Fortold This. In His Journal. We Should Have Taken Him Seriously. We Were Fools.
All of Us.
The Sleets have Fallen Back. We need to Re-Open and Flee the Caverns RIGHT NOW.
There ARE MORE.
At least Three Dozen Dead.
Three Dozen, maybe Four.
And its only the 18th of Opal.
I cannot wait for the New Year.
Literally.
Im Leaving.
Done.
Finished.
I cannot keep going like this.
I shall Oversee us until the Turn of Year, but I shall do nothing but Help the Wounded.
I owe them that.
And in My Absense, TWO of Us have Gone Missing.
Taken? Or are there really more Cultists.
The one they call SHADE is Gone. As is another Individual whos Name I do not know.
They were last seen in the Caverns.
...What ARE those sick fucks doing down there? Havent they spilt enough Blood?
Tell Me this is a Joke.
I think Im going to be sick.
And the fucking thing just Killed someone!
Theres more than One.
This is Hell.
This is all Hell.
Im sending the Military Down for an Indefinite Period.
May the Deities Protect Us.
One of them was IN THE FORT.
More Casualties.
So Much Death.
And Misery.
And Suffering.
Were going to find those Cultists, and Kill Them. If its the last thing We ever do.
Its the 1st of Obsidian.
Torn Limbs. Pools of Blood. Shredded Corpses. Broken Bones. Suffering.
But the Demons have Fallen Back once again. We need to get the Corpses out, then we must Seal this Accursed Fucking Place.
The Survivors are becoming Attached to their Worldly Possessions.
I Myself have Grown Attached to My very Life.
It is the 12th of Obsidian.
We... Have Uncovered the Room beside the Cells of the Demesne.
The Re-Elections are soon.
The Re-Elections are soon.
The Re-Elections are soon.
The Re-Elections are soon.
The Re-Elections are soon.
The Re-Elections are soon.
The Re-Elections are soon.
Rest in Peace, Former Survivor.
Your Injuries were too Great.
Oh. My. Fucking. God.
Oh No.
Nonononononono this isnt happening.
This isnt fucking happening.
Theres a LOT of them.
The Fiends are in Force.
I think I know what has happened.
That... Miner, SHADE, Opened the Cavern, with Lloyd Fisher.
And then they Left, and came back with... these Fiends.
Were Dead.
Our Military is ALREADY in Tatters.
But We will Try.
NOT ONLY ARE THERE FIVE UNITS OF ABOUT TEN GOBLINS, THERE IS A HORDE OF FUCKING TROLLS.
Our Defenses have Failed, and we must form a Militia IMMEDIATELY.
Theyve breached the External Perimeter.
The Goblins are falling back for some reason.
I dont care.
Ill take it.
Just leave.
Weve cleared the Invaders from inside the Fort.
There was also a Troll or Three.
Fuck this. I Resign.
End Entry - 28th Obsidian.[/i]
OOC: Ive Started the Hole for the Pump System. 80 Z-Levels left to go before you reach Magma.
Oh, also, I didnt so much cause any of this. Remember earlier, I said there was still a Threat, but it would be crazy stupid OOC Knowledge to have any Idea of it, but that it was only a Small Threat? Yeah. Suffice to say, I checked the Legends and a few other things before I started. Suffice to say, those Caverns are a bloody Death Trap. Seriously.
But hey - I made it work!
Good Luck!
