Oooook...I've taken the time to look through the legends mode. We're ruled by an Empress. Who, sadly, worships a god of agriculture. If/when she dies, I'll perform some...eugenics once we have enough dwarves to get a warlike god to be worshiped by our current ruler.

Airith's spirit will rejoin of course

As a Headmistress of course?

You have to ask?

Just making sure. :p Some people have changed their professions from fort-to-fort/reclaim.

Am i the only one with any sense of morality here?

Morality is relative,
Puppies are cheap,
Dwarves are zealots of,
A place that creeps and leaks,
where oversears send them to die,
so we may feast on their on their sorrow,
as we chew on their marrow
Just never forget,
That Bloodyhells is always a threat.

Can I sig this? The poem. 'Tis glorious!

GLORY TO DIGPERIUM: WE WILL SURVIVE THIS TIME

XD Hopefully. Now I know that only three melee dwarves, two who are barely trained and one of those forgoes an actual weapon, and four crossbowdwarves is a bad idea. I need to just go full on 10 dwarf training squads. And find some flipping flux-stone...

Yes, TIR, that will happen. XD And everyone on embark will have some fighting skill in order to kill the zombies outside, then dig into the fortress and kill the six inside. And I'll be a proper primarch rather than just a bunch of administrative skills. (Also, this was my full initiation into the DF community! It wasn't save deletion, but proper 'everyone-is-dead' !!FUN!!)

Welcome to the Brotherhood of DF veterans!


Veterans- n. - One who has lost one or more forts due to a stupid oversight.

Ok, I'm sigging that. ...How do I sig?

1st of Granite, Year 83

Damn hippy magics! They've finally invaded us to try and remove our stronghold. This will be the first test of our fledgling military.




And more of them have come along!



I've ordered that we be locked down to see how long they will wait us out.

27th of Granite, Year 83

Turns out a long time, they've been chasing one of our pets for weeks after slaughtering the other pastured animals. I've told the masons to carve fortifications in the built walls of the highest level we have in order to get the Digperium Guard stationed up there to begin shooting at any undead that get too close.



21st of Slate, Year 83

The astartes in training and The_Lord_Bastard grow tired of waiting, I'll need to let them kill something soon. I'll open the drawbridge until one or two get close then tell it to be shut so we slowly whittle down their numbers by killing them in ones or twos.

Before the order can be given, one of the A-I-T has charged out to a goblin spearman, getting himself killed in the process because he wasn't fully armored and decided to go with his hands only. I remember ordering them to use axes, not wrestling! And I know we have a fair many axes.



22nd of Slate, Year 83

Now we wait until the two closest undead get in, the goblin spearman and a bowdwarf. The dwarf is a twisted, rotten mockery of the once proud creature. But he was also probably a traitorous hippy follower. No one is pulling the lever and the hoard is getting closer, I can hear arrows scraping along the walls and floor as the undead miss with their weapons. No injuries have been reported, miraculously.



Well, dwarf's blood. I spoke too soon.



Armok and Emperor Damn those children. We might lose the fort now because one of them PULLED THE LEVER.

(OOC: I noticed the bridge being open while the lever was on, so I thought it was out of sync and ordered it to be pulled twice. Turns out the first pull had closed the bridge then a kid went and did the second one which opened the door again.)

24th of Slate, Year 83

The lever has quickly been pulled once more, but not before a fair few undead have gotten into the fortress. DWARVES OF THE DIGPERIUM. TO ARMS!



(OOC: I believe a few undead had also been crushed by the bridge raising, but I'm not certain.)

A pen floats in the air above a page

2nd of Felsite, Year 83

I died during the undead rampage through the base...so many dead. About seven dwarves remain. I now can only watch as they get together for a last ditch attempt against six undead. If anyone reads this, know we have gone down fighting. I will try to influence someone to send out a party to drive off the undead and reclaim these sacred halls.





We may have lost this battle, but we shall win the war.
---------------------------------------
OOC: In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have been picky-choosy about who fights and who doesn't and just fill up all the spots with everyone once the undead got inside... I also should have added maaaany more to the astartes and Digperium Guard and had them train for a longer time as the undead just chased around that cavy boar for months. Well, time for a reclaim attempt later. And hopefully a much longer thing than just 2 years and not-even-past-spring.... Thank Armok the necromancers didn't follow the zombies in, then I would have had undead horses AND my dwarves rising up again.

I'm also going to wait for a working LNP for the latest update(s) before I try the reclaim.
