Steelhold is now a trope (yay!) I've almost certainly missed quite a lot of stuff, so tropers among you are welcome to edit as you see fit. A better page quote might be worth looking into as well, since we only had a vampire baby for less than a year.

Anybody have any ideas for their next character in the new thread?

Since we're playing it straight, I'm going to play Sir Brenzen, knight of the order of St. Zane.  When the thread actually starts, I'll give more details.

I was thinking of Thane, apprentice weaponsmith of the Iron Warriors. Backstory will depend on the fortress story and such.

I still don't like sequels, but we've set up for one, making it unavoidable. I'll take one for the team and take one of the female dwarves inevitably available at embark. Gnora will be her name, but I'll post more on the actual thread.

mmk.  You should probably make a post in the new thread when it is created, though.  I don't remember what it was, and its good to have all your dwarves on one thread.

I thought it might be worth doing a final epilogue how the three branches of the bloodkin were brought together again.

Ten dwarfs stalked silently through what had once been a forest. They were easily visible in their red cloaks, but their enemy didn't rely on sight. The few stragglers that attacked them were dispatched by hits to the spine or head, the only way of putting them down for any time at all. Occasionally, their leader would stop to get her bearings or massage her chest, wincing, but their progress was inexorably towards the centre of the bloodstained forest.

A cloaked figure stood muttering in what had once been an elven palace. Now it was just the centre of a circle of corpses. Without turning around he said
"You should be dead. Who are you?"
"We-" the leader of the dwarfs paused to cough. "We are dwarfs from Gemtown... and we don't taste very nice to your horde."
The cloaked dwarf turned around frowning. "Oh. What do you want?" he asked.
"The same thing as before, Corley" Asmoth smiled, then took a ragged breath. "I had to find someone before talking to you, though... You could create your warriors and I can improve them... but neither of us could control them properly."
One of her dwarfs removed his cloak. Under his scars, Shank was still recognisable.
"You should still be buried," Corley said.
"We used the caves," Shank shrugged. "Came up in another fortress and started a farm, but we need more livestock."
"He can keep them not quite sane, but controllable," Asmoth explained as Corley wondered why he would have any interest in farming.
"If I didn't trust you a hundred years ago, why would I trust you now?" he growled, drawing a blade.
"Why would I lie?" Asmoth asked. "Your soldiers aren't a threat to us."
"Revenge," Corley suggested as the doctor coughed, rubbing her scars.
"I'll grant you that one, but consider the elves across the sea. Your army will tear itself apart before getting near them."
"I'll be watching you," Corley warned.
"And the world will watch us all," Asmoth smiled.

Does Asmoth have scars from the sword-wound, or did she become one of them?

Also, no more epilogues. You're all fine writers, but it has to stop somewhere.

Sorry for continued delays - having computer troubles. Don't worry, this is temporary; I had backups from a short while ago. Bug fixes almost applied.

Well, I promised you guys bad MSpaint pictures and -- sure enough -- you're getting them. I haven't had time to make very many with all the work that I've had, but I'll post what I've made. It ought to keep this thread alive, at the very least.

To all Steelhold players: the wiki is your needy friend.  It needs help to get off the ground.

Asmoth: I just put your epilogue into Gizoogle and can't stop laughing.  I'm trying to imagine any of the dwarves talking like that and failing.
