My time...
my time in this place is nearing its end.
But what glories, and horrors, I have seen...
They drowned another caravan. This just seemed excessive at this point, considering this caravan was from their own Mountainhome. I would like to reiterate that I didn't
force them to do this, they just did it. Presumably out of some sick feeling of amusement.
One of the little monsters (the little ones, it was a child) created this thing. An interesting trinket.
It's at that point that something snapped. I lost it. I could not, could not continue watching this. I thought we were evil, but these little assholes are something else. By all that lives and dies, Armok did not place the adamantine and slade to protect the surface from us; he placed it to
protect us from them.I gathered all my being, all that I AM, and threw it against the walls of their bunker in one spot. All my remaining life force, my ability to affect this world...
My brethren wasted no time in following through the breach.
The dwarves created walls to block off the advance, not knowing that while building their DUCKOTRON, they opened more paths for the demons to reach the fortress, another way through which the walls did NOT block...
Baelor the Bastard was the first hero on site. Some say that he was just trudging down there after some adamantine gear that was laying on the ground in the Underworld, but certainly, that must be a lie, because no dwarf would be stupid enough to engage three Saffron Demons and an Assassin Bug Fiend over an adamantine glove... right?
Either way it didn't matter.
More dwarves showed up to try to contain the situation...
They failed.
Maddeningly, one dwarf stood up and held off the assassin bug for longer than most of his compatriots.
The kid lasted about ten seconds, which is impressive given the previous record was about three.
The assassin bug made it into the melted remains of Mitchewawa's bedroom and...
Killed some more dwarves.
Lots more.
The saffron demons decided to take up residence in the Hellbunker apartments. They're wrecking everything, but otherwise just chillin' like lizards and stuff.
The assassin bug earned several names, Greaseriddled the Splattered Carnages (appropriate) and is now relaxing right outside of the ammo bunker. He appears to have no interest in battering down the door and going for more murder, either because he's had his fill for now or because the dwarves have successfully broken the path for the non-flying assassin bug. They hastily broke down several stairways and floors to make it impassable for ground-bound demons.
The first Baelor watches this carnage, including the death of his successor.
Among the dwarves' greatest loss; one part of the Hellbunker which was lost to the demons included most of their ammo supply. Whoever came up with the brilliant idea of putting it there clearly didn't expect anyone to actually let the demons penetrate this far; well, WHO'S LAUGHING NOW!?
Catten the Cat-Punisher, the possessed miner from before, walled herself into the DUCKOTRON right before the demons showed up. She's there for the long haul now; also, the activator lever is part of the occupied zone, so the DUCKOTRON is presently offline.
One of the dwarven children is missing a foot for some gods-be-damned reason. He's earned the name "Tiny Tim" on the grounds that he hit legendary crutchwalker before he hit puberty.
And with that, I'm done. My animate spirit has been exhausted, and I can no longer stay on this world.
I have chosen to reincarnate myself in the most horrible, deadly form I have witnessed. I will visit evil on this world in its purest form, I will see everything burn, and I shall spit in the face of the gods themselves. I will show the world such horrors as have not been imagined...
OOC:
Well, that's my turn. I made an honest attempt at opening part of the Hellbunker to reclaim the hellfarm and the section where the monkey brute was caught, and demons bum-rushed in. I thought I'd sealed it off from the rest of the fort, but there turned out to be three or four alternate routes that I HADN'T walled off, so I lost a fuck load of dwarves before successfully containing the situation.
Among the dwarves that need redorfed are Dortimus and Baelor; they're the ones I KNOW got wasted. I'll let the next overseer take care of that.
My reign resulted in something like 15-20 dead dwarves, which I consider to be fairly good for my normal engineering attempts...
Good luck, next guy! You gonna need it.
