This is actually the first story I've read of ThreeToes. I really, really like it. I very much enjoyed it.

So much for poisoned weapons being against the dwarven character eh?

I might be sick, but I have a particular fascination with stories of insurgent warfare and politicking.  I'd love to see this one continue and play to finality.

I just want to hurl jars of acid around like a dick, really. Still, all the things in this story intrigue me greatly. A fine piece of work.

Awesome, another cool story.  This one seemed more rooted in the current version of DF than usual :)

A fine story, indeed! I wonder how the ethics of using poison and such will work out? Obviously this is an example of desperate times calling for desperate measures.

I loved it. It will be doubly amazing when we can do these things in-game.  ;D

Yes, this is something i really look forward to in DF. Scheming factions, spies, disciplined armies, cultures being perverted through war. I really look forward to seeing this kinda stuff show up in all modes.

Wow, incredible.  I guess that once the necessary updates are out a community megaproject to realise Threetwo's stories will begin.

Honestly when the game gets to the point that things like this can happen, DF will kill the fantasy book genre. I mean who needs to buy a book when you can just generate one on your computer, different every time and always amazing

The book protagonists are going to succeed, though.

And, uh, General Voidler? I get the feeling he wasn't born a Voidler..;)

Great story though.
