That was the idea. And  Just for shits and gigls, I'm rereading boatmurdered.

Hiccuping while burping and laughing hurts. Alot.

I predict that, even if storm were to deliberately sabotage every single industry in the fortress, absolutely nothing bad would come of it and another completely-unrelated problem would arise from a completely-unexpected and bizarre source. This is the fort that was delayed for a week to fine-tune the Spawn and founded on the edge of a Terrifying biome, yet went on to have its own hospital as its archnemesis. This is the fort where the primary means of fending off invaders is other, meaner invaders. This is Spearbreakers, where all goddamn bets are off.

That is pure unadulterated awesome.

That was awesome! I only saw one thing, and this is too awesome for me to care. Spawn tend to laugh off head injuries (as one battle here showed us when a pike went through one's head and just pissed it off) unless the head comes off, though it getting turned into paste along with some of the body and having the head ripped completely open by adrenaline fueled dwarf teeth would probably do it too.

My life goal is to be an author, so I greatly appreciate the compliments. :) Thanks guys. I knew some of the details on the spawn were off, but I kinda chalked it up to artistic license, plus I figured it would take a long time to find out what exactly I did wrong. I really enjoyed writing the martial trance.

And his name means Dagger Brokenspear, in Dwarven. I thought it was fitting. I'ma continue his story if ya'll want, and it doesn't get busy here for awhile.

Edit: And I seemed to recall someone mentioning tearing the brain and piercing the heart as their only weakness, so I rolled with that. What exactly are their weaknesses?

Weakneses
Bisection horizontally or vertically (chop them in half)
Decapitation (remove the head)
Busted ribs damaging the heart.
Shattering or otherwise harming the heart.

Disabling them, lighting them on fire, and general brain damage just piss them off. Being de-toothed can render them much eless threatening but not by alot.

A flaming Spawn would be a horrifying sight. They don't much care about flames, but they'd spread flames to anyone that even survives being hit by them.

That's why magma weaponization isn't allowed. Burning spawn would be both horrible and an FPS killer.

And Hans, please do continue! That was a good read.

The only thing I keep thinking of is an adventurer asking Fischer's ghost why she and others havn't passed on, despite being entombed and slabbed.

Her response is simple
"Our army's standing orders are to defend the fortress. And soldiers here take thier orders very seriosuly."

I know there aren't any vampires in Spearbreakers, but I wanted something with a bit more to it than, "Grar! Shank the monster! Now shank the other monster!" Let's just assume that this is Urist's home fortress before he travels to Spearbreakers.
