Nomikos does Battle with Kangaroo! It is very one-sided and soon Kangaroo dead.




A man boxing a kangaroo is a peculiar spectacle, but a kangaroo boxing a dwarf? Now I'm afraid you've lost me.

Urist help me, you take one drink and there is Zapdos McGrouch tapping his foot and glaring at you. At least OhCrap always believed me when I told her I was just heeding Tradition by testing my latest brews.

Another update where my career choice as not-military has been validated! At least, until an enraged overseer kicks down the door and bashes my head in.

I like the front line squad, or alternatively the lonely explorer of the depths option.

Perhaps house arrest with his own training room, so that when a situation arises, he can actually be an effective fighter?

The following note is attached to the central messageboard in the Great Hall. It is encircled with bands of anger. It menaces with spikes of threats:

People of Bronzestabbed,

in recent months, this fortress has seen some great changes, not only in its formal structure, meaning the recent ascent of Overseer Soileddiaper, but also in its social structure and its religious conventions. I refer, of course, to the new attitude this fortress adopted towards Ugathites. Now, while I personally do not give a beakdogs rear end about Ugath, or indeed any other god, I do care a great deal about my personal well-being. I would add: "and my wife's", but poor, lovely Steke recently passed away. In fact she died because none of you dipshits could be bothered to give her a loving drink. The last thing she saw was my masterfully brewed barrel of 238 Chateau de Roche...

Without her, I have only two joys left in my old age. The first is the thought that all of you religious types will all burn in whatever hells your gods have made for you for all eternity. The rest of you will at least have worms eating your brains, if the murk doesn't get you, which it probably will.

My second joy left in life is brewing, which brings me to my point: I am the master brewer of this fortress. I brew your booze. I own the drinks stockpile. I am the only dwarf who knows which barrels of booze are safe to drink, and which barrels might have a special, let's call it aftertaste.

Throw me out in the mud with the loonies and you will regret it.

Sincerely,

J.D. Zasitrilem, Master Brewer of Bronzestabbed

Could somebody remind me again which lever you pull to raise the bridge in case a vile force of darkness arrives?

I'm just curious... no big deal.

If you pull all levers, the right one has to be among them!

Finally, a real overseer. I was getting sick of these milquetoasts.

Yes. Also I volunteer for a suicide mission! Those jerks in the fort can brew their own drat drinks, or just drink water for all I care.

The remaining murk zombies are wandering around the entrance. They can't get inside right now, but I realize that in order to complete the magma pump some work must be done on the surface. At some point, we have to deal with these murk zombies. I'll try to delay that as long as possible though and look for a good moment to strike.

Ready when you are :black101:

Not long after Boing and the migrants were safely inside, the most dangerous murk zombie remaining also attempted entry. This one, formerly John Dough, was armed with a high quality steel battleaxe, and supposedly was fairly well versed in its use. The report tells me there was no preventing it, and the soldiers had no choice but to attack it directly.







In the end, though, they finally managed to kill the zombie. It sounds like it was a gruesome fight, but it resulted in the removal of one of the most serious threats lurking outside our walls to date.

My only regret is not taking out more of you useless cavedwellers :black101:

Well, be fair though; he did murder a dwarf, just to make an earring out of him.

Not as good as the dwarf in Gemclod who was murdered and made into a coffin :black101:
