H.G. Fast: backstory..H.G. Fast was a sloth man from Goldworth, appointed as warden by the mountainhome following the events of late-winter y154. The criminals here are not keen on the idea of a sloth man taking control of the fortress. The Robber Baron Cilob in particular is growing jealous.. though he has chosen to play ball in order to quell suspicions from the mountainhome of their treason. Tensions between the criminals and their warden H.G. Fast are rising.. We're not sure how much longer their rule here may last..
(I think of HG FAST like Ms. Trunchbull… A prison warden… Or a distasteful government leader appointed to fix the criminals' severance from the mountainhome, on a fast track to being overthrown and hung. At year end, the robber baron and their citizens will mutiny, hanging the warden and officially severing from the mountainhome. Maybe alternatively they manage to keep things under wraps… haven't gotten there yet this doesn't have to be cannon)
Image 2: H.G. Fast, the sloth man overseer / prisoner Overseer's LogH.G. Fast's Log, 1st Granite, Early Spring y155"This fortress is a warzone, and reeks of the dead! As instructed by the Humans of Openpink, I managed to enter our mountainhome via a secret entrace on the other side of The Waters of Stasis. Deep within the fortress I found myself surrounded by battered and broken dwarves, desperately hanging on my every word.. though perhaps in a mocking fashion.. They're reffering to me as overseer, and seem to think I can save them from the scourge.. The baron here has given me a scroll clarifying the events of the last year..
I suppose there will have to be some changes around here. A part of me wishes to return to Goldworth.. but someone has to whip these ne'er-do-wells back into submission"
H.G. Fast's Log, 14th Granite, Early Spring y155"A fortnight ago, we were attacked by the undead. In a fit of panic our marauders retreated within the fortress, locking the gates behind them… and leaving behind Aco and Fath.. Such cowardice! I have requested Aco and Fath (Rigothdeg) be commemorated for their heroism.
The cowardly squad of marauders have been reprimanded accordingly, and a new training schedule has been implemented for a new squad of marauders known as "Skull Crushers". I've begun planning a vault deep below the library to store our most prized spoils."
(justifying my RP blunders lol)
(Only death so far has been Aco. Fath Rigothdeg is, in fact, still alive on the surface, they've been running from a cyclops along with about 25-30 undead units for days... though our dwarves do not realize this, he's quite the survivalist.)
To Do:
-vault underneath/connected to library (thieves guild of sorts)
-create an airlock system for trade depot
-send thieves on thieving missions
H.G. Fast's Log, 7th Slate, Mid Spring y155"In just the nick of time, reinforcements have arrived! 23 dwarves from the mountainhome. I am relieved to hear they found Fath, and confirmed Aco's death. The Ettin on the surface is no more, thanks to *redacted*. No lives had to be lost... thank the gods.
Construction on the vault continues. Many are still reeling from the events of Late-Winter 154.. a few here don't seem to be handling the pressure very well. Despite this, labours have been appropriately re-assigned, coke is being processed, our squads continue training
Too few humans remain for effective maul squad; using a temporary squad of 5 dwarves known as skull-crushers for undead defense during y155, and our prisoners have been stripped and locked away. This means we can finally resume the capturing of invaders, and venture back out into the world.."
Image 3: Fath Rigothdeg, father of the countess. He seems to have been badly injured but still doing alright (seen in year 160) H.G. Fast's Log, 1st Malachite, Midsummer y155“Migrants arrive yet again… along with a forgotten beast in the 2nd cavern layer known as Aspad Ustru. A huge feathered crab! has a knobby shell… squirms… fidgets. Its feathers are ecru and fluffed-out. Shoots Webs. (kills Nawara Lerineinevi in the caves amidst the fighting on the surface. Aspad is badly burned in the fight.. but survives)
In order to get the migrants into our fortress, we have to open the doors and breathe the sordid air once more. our 5 dwarven skullcrushers and the 2 humans that remain of our marauders brace the gate.
Bomrek Lolokes is the first to meet the dead. Kib Zozlogem's right lower arm didn't stand a chance, of course.
Of the new migrants, Thob the milker collides with an undead goblin from the siege of Hematite 3. Alath the mechanic rushes in to rescue, along with a human mace-wielder Kanil Lalcilsmoma. The human punches the goblin corpse in the... finger? this is a killing blow.
Thob and Zan perish. Our mechanic, Alath, is left behind.”

Final log entryWith distinctly different hand-writing...
"After learning that I was to serve as the next overseer of Dungeonrooms, I've been briefed in the goings-on of the fortress... and also the dwarves told me about the sudden and inexplicable death of the previous overseer. Count Cilob was adamant in telling me that H.G. Fast's death was an accident, but I spotted some fresh-looking sloth man blood in his clothes.
Oh well, surely there's nothing sinister to it. Life can be dangerous in Dungeonrooms..."
