((Guys... I haven't written an update because every time I open up the fort it sinks ever deeper into a stygian abyss of horror and despair. And frankly it's depressing me. Here is a part of the events.))
An Endless Chain of Disasters: Notes from the HistorianThe sky turned blood red, the ocean waves ran thick with pus, and giraffes walked backwards. Great and terrible were the omens that probably happened, heralding the end of Oceanbridge.
The Madness fell first on Kogut, a harmless metalsmith. He went into a deep melancholy, and could not be awakened from it, not for hunger or thirst.
A child followed, but the child’s Madness took a different form. He ran at others, baying and screaming in some strange tongue, trying to kill any who came near. As a child, he was not very effective, but still. Terrifying.
The maceman Bayar kept the child from harming any who were near
but after that, it was if a floodgate had been opened.
Actually, a floodgate had been opened, but that was a minor problem.
And it spread just like a flood. A different flood, though. A flood of madness. Dwarfs who had previously been “maybe just... sad” soon ran through the halls, babbling and tearing off their clothing.
Gary Featherlog, who had watched as his beloved pets were torn apart by a Mad brewer, soon joined that dwarf, both in madness and in death.
None of this prepared the masses of Oceanbridge for the crime that followed. A gem setter commited a murder most foul
and carried the corpse back to his lair, and fashioned his unfortunate victim into a glove.
And the madness continued to spread.
Next: An End, Maybe.
((That's one month.
One month.))
