Yes. That is still there.

I couldn't find you in the unit list, but that doesn't mean much. I'll look again next time I load the game.

The enemy seemed hesitant to attack, so I ordered Archers Ho! to head out as skirmishers. They are currently trading shots ineffectually with the enemy, and I will soon order them to retreat.


21 Granite
Archers Ho! was engaged in a brief melee, and the recall order was given. Balon was lightly wounded in the scuffle, but nobody else is hurt.

This poor showing by the enemy has caused me to revise my plans. Assuming that the enemy does not pursue to a more advantageous position, I will take the Tangles of Silver out to fight a brief engagement. We will still have an adequate reserve in the event of disaster, and will hopefully either drive the enemy away completely or draw them into the fort.

A traveler has returned, bearing news of his search for a book. His report suggests that the trip was little more than a bar crawl.

23 Granite

Vinny Possum has engaged the human leading the dead directly. Vinny has is winning handily.


Meanwhile, Drakenel is taking apart one of the undead.



Vinny dispatches his foe, and it is time to retreat. We cant afford to take losses here.


A small tragedy strikes just as the recall order is given. Vinny Possum is struck in the wrist by an undead fist. His gauntlet protects against the blow, but the force sprains his wrist badly, causing him to drop his weapon. I have forbidden the axe for now, and replaced Vinny with Pool Is Closed for now. The squad will reform in the fort.
During the retreat, I found myself under attack.


25 Granite
The plan worked magnificently, as we retreated to the fort with several undead in hot pursuit.

Due to religious convictions I'm afraid I'm not able to work any job that would make me even vaguely useful. So it's a good thing I'm an archer when there are undead around, otherwise I might accidentally contribute something.

I finally caught up on and read through this. I've never played DF but something that caught my eye is how young the world seems to be. You can become a nation's capital with 120 dwarves! Civilizations, as they are, seem small.

As such, please dwarf me as a historian of this fledgling world. :v:

Thanks! I appreciate it and also same to anyone else who tuned in to watch me fail and/or chimed in after.

Sorry I pretty much flounced out with nary a word more after murdering the thread progress, but it was honestly all I could do. Was a bitter pill.

But anyway. Save early, often and apparently in multiple stages with backups: a hard learned DF LP lesson not soon forgotten.

I'm looking forward to following the progress of this non-dream-sequence Overseer timeline and seeing what, if anything is left of the Fort if it falls back into my hands.

Idiocy has struck! Thranguy has gotten confused, and charged out of the gates instead of into them. No attempt at rescue will be made.



She is doing quite well. She has already killed four, crippled more, and they are having great trouble hurting her. I greatly desire to go to her aid, but it cant last, and we must make our battle in the fort. Even ordering another retreat will not help, for fighting is the only thing keeping her alive.



It is done. A hammer got through her defenses, and crushed her skull. If only she had obeyed.

28 Granite
Our warriors have engaged the enemy at last. The pathetic traps that line our entrance hall shattered uselessly upon the enemy, but they are inside now, where we fight under divine protection. All troops have been ordered to attack, and Epsilon Moonshade leads the charge, stabbing a zombie in the tooth.



1 Slate
A Bad Place fights bravely, but takes a bad hand wound. Losing his spear, he fights on with hands and feet before being overwhelmed and losing his head to a zombie sword.


Pharnakes is badly wounded, and has lost her sword. She continues to fight.


Drakenel fights with a savage fury, and wields an axe to great effect.


Frenzy the Killbot is all but invisible behind her mighty hammer, which smashes everything that comes near her, and the enemy cant even begin to land a blow.


Theshim is doing equally well



The battle rages on. We seem to be winning.



2 Slate

Alas, Theshim has fallen. Reports suggest that a lucky hammer blow got through, and that was enough to allow the enemy to pile on the deadly blows.



Epsilon Moonshade passed out during the battle and was quickly dispatched. This battle is taking a turn for the worse.

PhallicPhalanges has taken a spear to the head and died.

On the other hand, more than two thirds of the attacking horde have been destroyed.


So far, nothing that has fallen inside has gotten back up again.

Pool is Closed is dead. She neglected to pick up a weapon, and her fists were not enough to handle the enemy.


So Math has fallen as well


I myself entered the fray, biting the teeth out of an attacker.



3 Slate

The battle is all but over. Only two undead remain, and they are fleeing. Our forces pursue to ensure that these, at least, can not return. I have allowed the civilians to leave the dining room, and ordered all of the outside zombie bits dumped. The inside ones can wait, for a little while.

In a sign of divine favor, lamentable dustman shows sign of possession.


Hitlers Gay Secret has died. Im not sure how.

We found this diary on the battlefield by the overseers corpse. Were not sure how she was overcome, but she fell in battle.





Hopefully, updates will go a little quicker now. This battle required very careful timing, and took a lot of attention.

POOL IS CLOSED - killed by a human zombie with a silver mace
So Math - killed by a human zombie with a steel spear
Hitler's Gay Secret - killed by a human zombie with a steel warhammer
Gnoman - killed by a human zombie, somehow


We destroyed a lot of undead (my best effort - zombies don't show up in the battle report)

The dead:

Thranguy - 4 goblin zombies
A bad place - THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK
Pharnakes - 1 goblin zombie
theshim - 4 goblin zombies
Epsilon Moonshade - 5 goblin zombies

Megane - 4 human zombies, 6 goblin zombies
Drakenel - 3 human zombies, 3 goblin zombies
Corbeau - 3 human zombies, 5 goblin zombies
turol - one goblin zombie, one human zombie


The wounded (not diagnosed yet)

Frenzy The Killbot - cut to right foot, bruise to left lower arm
Vinny Possum - Broken finger, torn up left hand
Drakenel - Neck torn open
Corbeau - Neck torn open, bruises to head and upper spine, right hand missing (removed by a human zombie's silver short sword)
Turol - various damages to left hand, left foot, cut open right lower arm, cut open left lower arm, head torn open, neck torn open, right hand bruised, right elbow bruised.
