WinterWhile I await the goblins attack, I take the time to research the name I heard earlier. Armok it was. From what I've found, he's a deity. But not one worshipped by the humans, the elves, are ourselves. Apparently he's a "God of Blood". Which I assume is akin to a God of War.
More research is required.
1st, MoonstoneWhile the worthless goblins take their time in finding our entrance, work on the throne room continues.
7th, MoonstoneStill the goblins hide. Both myself and the master are sick of their cowardness. To fix this, I've ordered the spiral hallway unsealed.
11th, MoonstoneHonestly we have like 200 floor hatches in the stockpile. Apparently a previous overseer had a fetish for them. Since I cant trade them and since melting them down would be wasteful, I've ordered one installed in every downward stairwell in the fortress.
14th, MoonstoneThe goblins have forced my hand. They refuse to leave the spiral. I order all of our troops into the hall and order them to slay everything.
Master will have his blood.
I realize as Tryrar rushes headlong into battle that he's still holding a wooden training axe...
This will not end well for him.
As he engages a goblin, the others converge on both sides. A wall of dwarves attack a wall of goblins. Led Usiravuz goes into a martial trance just as Rith is struck down. Tryrar falls shortly afterwards. More of our troops pour into the breach as Ral Urdimedim is struck down. Fath falls shortly later. One of the axedwarves, Kobuk, is shot and killed.
Its hard to tell where the bodies end and the fighting begins. Blood is flowing through the hallway
In the frenzy, I manage to score a single kill despite my injuries. The goblins are all vanquished, Deathgate stands.
I order the fallen to be gathered and buried. I grieve only a moment for Tryrar, our champion.
18th, MoonstoneTonight, I heard the master speak in my dreams. I heard his voice. And his name. I could see him sitting upon the throne of skulls surrounded by an endless lake of blood. He praised my bloodshed and that of my underlings.
And then I heard his name.
"Armok."
And joy overtook me.
4th, OpalLord Armok is pleased with the work I've done. Our captives are being loaded into a storage room. Later we shall construct an arena on which to slaughter them in the master's name. Despite our losses, Deathgate remains strong.
The bypass that caused our defenses to fail has been fixed, this provides me with a sense of relief.
16th, OpalSince we have a metric ton of chairs and tables, I've ordered a number of them placed in the dining hall. We have enough chairs there as is, but we need the stockpile space.
5th, ObsidianTHe recent events seem to have taken a toll on Narquille II as he has been taken by a fay mood. Hopefully he builds something useful. Unfortunantly he claims a magma glass furnance. So i assume he's going to make something useless.
20th, ObsidianNarquille II seems to have begun his useless construction. Time will tell if he becomes a sacrafice to Lord Armok.
24th, ObsidianOh look, a green glass box, how useless!
26th, ObsidianI've repurposed, or started to at least, the magma hallway. Since its currently useless, I've made a few modifications to it that'll allow it to flood our entrance with magma. Its not finished since at the moment, there's no way to stop it from flowing into the hospital or drain it afterwards. I've tasked Noodle III with this task, since it is beneath me.
With that, my last task as overseer is complete. I prefer the title of Overlord of Deathgate. The micro managing can go to some peon. I have more important matters to attend to.
Lord Armok demands more blood.
Current stocks:
------------
And my turn is over!
Recap:
Noodle died twice.
Tryrar died once.
Some people were dorfed.
And I captured a ton of goblins.
Overall, not a very eventful year other than the siege. I mostly tried to increase the forts efficiency.
And save:
