DF General Discussion / Best fantasy in history
« on: May 22, 2011, 10:08:46 am »
I just have to say that Toady's latest post on the dev log is the best piece of high fantasy in the history of man.
"In the midwinter of 73, Teme the Law-Giver led one hundred humans and 33 townie elves against an assault by various forest creatures and their wild elven masters. Teme's defense was successful, but he was struck down by a grizzly bear. The humans constructed the Tomb of Planes and interred Teme within, where he lay for 100 years. Then I went in there, took Teme from the coffin and put the body in my backpack. Obviously the defenses will need to be improved."
Excitement, drama, high adventure! What's not to like?
