Spring of Blockedlance's 54th year has arrived.
Last year marked the 50th anniversary of the glorious death of the original pre-forum-thread Blockedlance. Now, this year marks the 50th anniversary of it's even more glorious reclamation!!!
The Queen spent much of the year partying. No peasants were invited of course.
Urist celebrated her squad's glorious attack on the demon infested hill five decades ago. She remembered marching in through the main entrance corridor and seeing the heaps of dead and burnt war dogs. There were dead and dying dwarves lying about. There was much wailing amongst the din of the battle. Urist's squad of marksdwarves had followed the axedwarves deep into that hell, and many had not come out. And all of those that did come out were mentally broken by what they had witnessed. Most were horribly burned and half mad from pain as it was.
Of all the madness and rage that followed, only Urist had survived. Her status among the group had grown when she had shot down Erush Shieldpaints the Trifling Flimsiness, a dwarf as mighty as his name. He had gone mad and killed several wounded brothers in arms, and had to be brought down. And brought down he had been. Following that, Urist served as the unofficial sheriff, keeping order in the hellhole. She had killed several more dwarves before shooting down the legendary dwarf known as the Grim Tribe. The Grim Tribe had earned his nickname by slaughtering every living thing he could in order to enslave them and become the warrior chieftain of an intangible spirit tribe in some kind of necrotic netherworld.
The Grim Tribe had killed every single remaining dwarf in the fortress before he came for Urist. Urist had no bolts remaining after the previous ordeals, and was backed into a corner in the old masons workshops. When the Grim Tribe entered the room, Urist bashed his skull to pulp with her crossbow, becoming a dabbling hammerdwarf in the process.
Urist was the sole survivor. She was stronger for her suffering. Now she was Queen. She celebrated all these things, and gave thanks unto Armok.
