Ve got another 20 or so dvarves. Nobody of particular skills. Fortress population now numbers 92.
For your reference:
a capybara.
Urgh, vill you relax Meng? It's just a big rodent, no big deal. Stop yelling.
All zis noise over a giant rat. Fine, then! Spear sqvad, go kill the capybara.
Vait, vot?
VOT?!I... I haf no vords. Two months of hard training vit the spear, und
this is vot ve get? Armed dvarfs dying to a
HAMSTER? VOT?!
SHUT UP MENG, YOU PITEOUS SLOBBERING FOOL.
OOC: Giant. Fucking. Hamsters. (Breadbowlites get the reference)
Und now ve need a hospital for the injured dvarves. Und vater! How's are those vellvorks coming along?
Not anyvhere near done. Unfortunate! Oh vell, ve haf few options but to allow the construction to continue und hope nobody dies of thirst before the vell is complete.
I svear, these miners haf no clue vot they are doing. I'm only designating one level for channelling at a time, but they keep collapsing sections.
Oh vell. At least nobody has been seriously injured ye-
OH.
Zefon, Asmel, you're ze closest! Do something about the bleeding! Get her to the hospital, now! Move i-
Too late. Ve lost her.
Zat's... zat's qvite a blow. GPeter vas the founding dvarf of Mountainbreed, und she died on my vatch. I've been building a graveyard, but...
... no. No, a simple grave might be enough for a dwarf who dies to a mere hamster, but it is not nearly enough for a brave founding dvarf! I vill take responsibility for her death, und ve vill build her a standalone granite mausoleum. In fact, mausoleums for all the founders!
But the biggest vun vill be for GPeter.
A graveyard is a glorious monument to the fate of us all, und it vill not do to skimp, even in the name of military prowess. You may all take time from your training to assist in it's construction.
