Oh, and IT is waiting for Hellcannon's power to grow before IT kills the fort? ELF SACRIFICES FOR THE ELDRITCH ABOMINATION!
Yeah, I wanted that bit about the fort still standing but still taking lives to fit in, but I also wanted to put in my idea for the reset.
I justified it by have the Foul One hold back the reset until a little extra life energy was collected. Why it is doing that is up for interpretation.
Bravo indeed. A fittingly epic end to a phenomenally epic fortress.
Glad to know I did a good job relating to everyone the craziness of what was going on. I personally found the cats involvement in a lot of the disasters after Andreus's death to be hilarious. I heard of catplosions killing forts through FPS, but this was ridiculous. I was sort of hoping Ledi would have been the last dwarf. Just because Ledi probably would have gone berserk with no one to "goto meeting" with. The crazy cat child going berserk could have only been hilarious no matter what happened.
KAR WHY DIDN'T YOU RESPAWN
Oh well. Being the ninth one standing and also being the last noble of Hellcannon is respectable enough for me. Especially when another guy of the "Presidential Crew" (Kar, a medic, the captain of the guard, an armorer, and a farmer? I don't remember if the farmer actually was there.) managed to end up third and explode a demon with the power of FIST! So when is the fourth edition popping up? Or are we going to dare a reclaim?
Yeah, I didn't intend Kar to die there. In fact, I pretty much summed up my real reaction in my post when I realized he was in the smoke fighting.
As for exploding the demon, I was actually surprised by that. I didn't know that demons made of fire would explode when killed. It even left behind some burning remains called "Flame Phantom's Fire". At first when it exploded, I thought it used one of the gas-type attacks. But when the smoke quickly cleared the demon was no where to be seen.
The weird part is that Halbezbin's legend entry says he died by skeletal ox. But I am certain he died from fire related injuries.
That said fire killed us, but it wasn't very effective. I was surprised at how long it took for most creatures to die by fire. If it wasn't for that fact, the fort would have ended really fast once the demons made their way up.
