I've changed to using Photobucket to upload crap from now on, not sure that it will change anything. Just thought it would be something nice to share will allcha. Also for the record the text corresponding to the picture will be written atop, someone correct me if I lie to you.
1st Hematite,208, Early Summer
I've been neglecting certain things...
Today I woke up, and my covers were sticking to my body, they were covered in dwarf sweat, and so was I. Usually it doesn't get this hot in the Summer, especially underground. I woke up with a headache from a nightmare.
OOC:MONOLOGUE TIME!
The orcs they were upon us again, I ordered our small army to get into their station posts. The bridge was dropped, and we waited for the orcs to come storming through our trapped ridden halls. They came in their usual numbers, eighty strong, I was observing from a strategic view point. One where I could see the enemy, but they could not see me, and with a handy exit.
I watched them, everything moved slowly in that dream, smells non exisitant, but sounds crisp, and sudden. I heard their armor thunder in unison as they marched, iron fiercly glinting in the sun, and weapons points shine brightly before running with blood. The orcs remained silent as they always did, and it appeared as if the evilist of demon sent forth animated armor to destroy us. It was slow, but the sounds made it felt quickened. Soon the orcs in my dream were at the forts front gate, they stood there for some moments looking across the trapped hallway as if watching us through the stone walls.
They than ran forth in no commanded formation, like they would do in real life, but the traps, they walked over them as if they were simply ground. I screamed before my mouth even moved, and ran underground. Running in a nightmare is useless. The light around me faded to the length of my out stretched arm, but it did not stop me from trying to flee from the orcs. I never seemed to bump into a wall, and I somehow knew where I was going, though when I woke I had no idea where I was actually running in my dream. As I ran I could hear dwarfs screaming, they screamed of others, in pain, in fear, in despair, and soon they began to call my name. "Arrrrrrgh, help us." ...The rest is too frighting to write about.
I talked to the philosopher about this dream, he told me to give him time to think about it. I politely agreed; I just wanted to forget about it already.
2nd of hematite ESumThe meeting areas were filled with less crap for once, only a few animals, mostly dogs appear to be shitting in doggy marking areas. Unlike camels which did so with less regard.
OOC:I've increased the FPS from an average of 15FPS to 20FPS!
In the time I've spent working/living in Deathquest I have always found it to be, well, not very sufficient lets just leave it at that. Which is why I have hereby decided to do some major renovating on its industrial center, I will begin by moving old stockpiles to different areas, more closer to their corresponding areas.
First I shall begin by creating some carpenters workshops, and reliving most useful carpenters of other less important duties, after those workshops are done I shall begin to construct some *MUCH* needed bins.
8th hemmyProgress is slow, but showing, so far the dwarfs have been able to move all of the cloth, (at least I hope that's all of it) into one convenient stockpile, I'm also changing around workshop locations, Work has also begun on those bins.
OOC:ARGH! I hope my turn doesn't wind up simply cleaning up this fort!
10th HemToday while I was issuing orders I was told that the orcs had come to take our fort once again. I could see them swarming over the land scape, unlike the last siege there appeared to be less invaders, only three squads worth of them. I've called our milatary to arms.
The first squad appears to be led by a Sniper, flanked by some wrestlers, and some lashers.
The second is also lead by a sniper, it matchs the first except in the fact it has maulers.
The third, and final squad frightens me the most. As they do match the last two squads this one lacks the maulers/lashers, but carries all snipers. The horror!
Looking over our free army I find myself to be even more distressed, it seems author never took it upon himself to see our armies inventory. Looking over them I see that six of our nine soldiers only seem to be carrying one bolt! ONE BOLT!
OOC:Toonyman... have you ever heard of the term micro management? :|
12th HemThe first of the invaders have tasted the bane of our traps.
Only one squad has reached the entrance so far, the squad with the lashers is soon to be coming, and the dreaded Sniper squad is far behind the rest, they appeared on the opposite side of our forts only entrance.
13th of HematiteVictory! We have won! Although a moment of silence for two of our soldiers, who were shot to death by the snipers of the orcs. If only they had carried more bolts, I am increasing bolt supplies due to these deaths.
?? of HematiteHumans have arrived at out fort to trade. I have absolutely no idea for what we are to offer them.
OOC:Come on Toonyman give me some ideas here!
By the way, I
hope to update this once every day. So please, keep reading.
