From the Journal of Bomrek Kunokab
1st Hematite:
Its that time of year again, when we choose who our new overseer will be. This year, His Gaudiness decided that he would arrange everyone into a circle, and then randomly pick someone after spinning around with his arms outstretched screaming “WHEEEEE!!!!”
And after twenty minutes of spinning, who does he finally point at? Only the maddest goddamn bastard in clobbermountains: DolosusDoleus. I mean come on, dude makes us call him an “escaped mental patient” and talks to himself. Something aint’ right there.
Also, in the chaos, our jeweler decides to start calling himself “Chaotic Skies” for some reason. Whatever helps him deal with stress, I guess.
The first thing our new overseer does is make sure that Mr. Furg doesn’t starve to death in his bed. Good for him. What happened to getting us out of this hellhole?
12th Hematite:
DolosusDoleus has ordered the construction of what he calls the PITHOLE, which he says stands for “Points in the Hole of Lethal Execution”. From what he tells us, he’s gonna build a winding road above a pit which will be lined with spears. Enemies will march across this chasm and be forced to fall in when we send minecarts careening down the path.
I mentioned to him that the would be completely useless against the Greater Spawn, but all he said was “meh”.
(OC: The PITHOLE should only be put into operation once all the Greater Spawn die off. As I recall from reading spearbreakers, upright spikes were surprisingly effective against the Spawn. Also, this could be used to kill off banshees, so as to prevent them from screaming.)
20th Hematite:
The forgotten beast Ybzoh has come!
24th Hematite:
Room full of switches. No idea what any of these do, odds are if we pull any of them it’ll let the greater spawn in. General consensus is that we don't touch em'
26th Hematite:
His Gaudiness announces that he is imposing bans on the exporting of maces, shields, and scepters. Its a wonder that he still insists that we’ll be able to trade.
10th Malachite:
Some migrants arrive, despite the danger!
They are instantly slaughtered. *sighs* time to engrave more memorial slabs.
17th Malachite:
DolosusDoleus announces that he has found a suitable place to construct the PITHOLE.
22nd Malachite:
A ghostly merchant has risen from the dead!
Fortunately, he seems content to just hang out with the Greater Spawn on the surface.
27th Malachite:
Mr. Furg has been struck by a fey mood!
He slowly crawls out of his bed and locks himself in the clothier’s workshop.
16th Galena:
Our miners have begun constructing the PITHOLE (Armok but that’s a really stupid name. I mean, really?).
17th Galena:
Strangely enough, Mr. Furg has obtained all the materials he keeps screaming about, but he has yet to begin working on anything. Odd.
20th Galena
An ambush! Curse them!
They… do I even need to point out what the greater spawn do to them?
12th Limestone:
Mr. Furg finally retrieves the last of his items!
He begins his mysterious construction!
19th Limestone
A forgotten beast comes!
I really don’t want to know what “buff hair” means.
OC: Sooooooo nothing really interesting happened so far. I'm going to apologize right now, PITHOLE won't be too terribly complex, as I haven't really spent a whole lot of time experimenting with minecarts since v40 came out (Damn climbing ruins EVERYTHING).
If you guys have any tips as to improve for my next update, I'm all ears. I'll probably have the next one written up by Thursday.
