Tonguecrafted - 556 Early Autumn by KoChanneo

Map Description:

She has been happy lately, she has taken joy in the slaughter.

Maybe it's time I finally put a face to this journal. My name before was Obok, but the scribes call me Monday, Monday Colourboot, The Chased Rumor of Creating.

I'd been here since the beginning, just a miner, nobody special. But I carved out these halls you see today, I dug the bedrooms and the hallways and the prisons and the burial chambers.

Everything you see was created by me.


I don't know how they got in, I was deep below, but even from down there I could hear the screams. By the time I'd gotten to the surface, they'd finally stopped, 70 levels of horror, one body after another. In our grand dining room, my pride, I found the goblins and the bodies of a hundred dwarves. As far as I knew, I was the only one left alive.

I killed five of them easily with just my pick. How could I take these down with barely a minimum of training, when fully armed military dwaves could not? I don't know, the running of this place was never really up to me. A founder yes, but not an important one, not in their eyes.

Anyway, after around five I got a bit thirsty. Went upstairs to get a drink, killed two more on the way to the stockpiles, by the time I finally got that drink I'd murdered ten of the beasts. I felt I'd earned that, let me tell you!

Went and had a lovely sleep, I was feeling pretty good! Screw those guys, never really spoke to them anyway, a miners life is a quiet one. After the sleep I went up to the surface, I'd seen some lovely armor and wanted to try it out, no more goblins that I could see.

Maybe I shouldn't have stripped naked before finding the armor.

I should have stopped at the leg wound, or maybe I should have stopped when he chopped my arm off. It didn't seem that important at the time, you know? I was having fun! It soon stopped bleeding anyway.

I always was stubborn...

He took another swipe at me eventually, buggered up my other arm, so I went and sat on the wall for a while, waiting for them to go away like. Not that they could of course, the gates were locked.

And that was the end of it. Died of dehydration eventually, a shitty way to go.

Never did get my shiny armor, either...


Editors note:
I couldn't make her go inside and the two goblins wouldn't fight, so she just ran around in stupid circles and refused to go inside or eat or drink until she was starving/dehydrated. Was an interesting end, I never was very good at making militaries and having the lava 70 z-levels down was a pain.
