Diary of Alias
Chapter 3: Summer
(I've purposely kept myself in the dark about what has happened in Necrothreat IV just so I can discover things on my own for more fun xD. From what I've seen so far, the situation Necrothreat IV is in is easily recovered over time. Provided no extraordinary fails happen lol xD)
1st Hematite 557
A necrothreader has decided to pay us a visit and it seems to me that he has risen the fallen forumites as his minions!
In light of this event, I have ordered everyone inside and will be closing the exit shortly...with or dwarves who fail to make it here in time.
Uhh....we have more uninvited forumites...A lot more...
S***.
Well, at least that random cage trap nearby managed to capture a forumite zombie.
2nd Hematite 557
The side gate has been closed and the head count shows that everyone who went outside has returned safely. My successors may want to outfit the side gate as a trap for the undead hordes. Lining the halls with cage and weapon traps would certainly be a good idea...well perhaps not weapon traps. One forumite zombie is enough instead of 10 zombies from the same forumite.
The cage lined side gate will be started during my term as overseer, but it may have to be finished by my successor before it can be used. Until then, no more outside time.
In the mean time, I will be trying to get the quality of life of up for what little remains of Necrothreat by constructing beds and doors for their rooms.
9th Hematite 557
The emergency bunker is basically finished. It contains some starting supplies in case things get really messy out there. The lucky surviving citizens of Necrothreat who manage to make it there should be able to survive for quite a while.
In other news, I have a missing citizen report at my desk today. It appears that a dwarven child has gone missing for one week. Well let's face it...that child is most likely dead.
As for Urvad and his mysterious behaviour, he is dragging a large chunk of raw stone somewhere and has been doing so feverishly for quite a while. Probably best to tell everyone not to disturb him.
17th Hematite 557
It seems Logem Fathavuz has been elected the new admin of Necrothreat. Nothing else of note is really happening except that undead horde of forumites relaxing just outside...waiting for an oppurtunity.
Urvad is still working with manic pace in the workshop. It seems he had finally obtained what he needed to do...whatever it is he is doing in there.
The military needs a larger barracks than a room fit for a single dwarf so I will begin carving out a larger barracks nearby.
It also seems that Urvad has finished a...bone shield. Great? ... Lacks some much needed menacing spikes.
5th Malachite 557
Progress on raising the quality of life is going smoothly and the larger space for the barracks has been succesfully dug out. Hopefully I will be the overseer that starts Necrothreat IV on the path to recovering from our losses and dealing with the necrothreader threat! ... But more likely, we will probably all be eaten by our undead forumite brethren.
16th Malache 557
It appears that a human dancer wanted to visit Necrothreat for whatever demented reason...It didn't end well for that human. (Apiks vs undead chainsaw forumite = resident evil 7 lol).
Another dancer arrived shortly after and suffered a similar fate...though much prolonged. I wonder if these undead forumites enjoy the suffering others?
24th Malachite 557
If only we could be rid of the necrothreader. The horde of undead forumites would be much less of an issue to deal with after. Perhaps if I see the necrothreader seperate from the pack, then I will send out our small military to deal with him; however, it looks like the necrothreader is staying firmly inside his horde of forumites...unfortunate for us.
In less interesting news, I am doing my best as overseer to accommodate the queen. (The noble menu had me believe the queen was a king). I have finally caught up to ordering her mandates to be carried out and am down to one last mandate. The holdings for the queen are also being handled partially.
11th Galena 557
Time has been rolling by quickly throughout my term. It has been very safe and quiet...well except the barely audible moaning from the dead forumites outside the walls.
It seems that the children are still playing their favorite make believe game "Anywhere but here."
25th Galena 557
This season is coming to a close and soon my term as overseer will be over before I know it. I have managed to finish up a lot of rooms and they will eventually become smoothed over. These rooms should raise the quality of living for the remaining civilians of Necrothreat considerably. Should we all die tomorrow, at least we will be somewhat comfortable.
And so begins the Autumn of my term.
(More to come after a quick break!)
