Cairon Journal 3
I, while hospital bound, have started thinking up plans to combat the female menace, while more womenmeatshields have been sent to combat(with a man to make sure they preform correctly)
Progress is slow but full of winning, even the females aren't failing us.
Pah, broken nail. Women gonna women.
More progress is made, Alice seems to be the best meatshield, I equiped her with looted iron leggings as a reward for her service
Clearly the minx is trying to convince me that not all of her kind is evil, but I shall not be bewitched by her!
Though she has convinced me that not all of them are useless plotters.
Of course, she's just a solidier, every army needs grunts and she might not plot, but she does kill!
I shall keep my wise eyes on her.
Watching her..heroic? Maybe that's too far..But it still gave me the idea, what does this town need?
People to clear the dungeon..
And how do you attract moronic dungeon crawlers and adventurers to your town?
Shops, an Inn,
a save point, a quest hub and quest items
This is such a brilliant idea that immigrants showed up! Wonderful.
Hahah what a numpty. Still, he shall do for now.
While we do still have an active force down here..
The 'hero' comes down to 'show the npcs how it's done'
Pray, good sir, teach us your wisdom.
Haha what a pansy.
Damn another one already?
And a third!
AN AGENT OF THE CONSPIRCY, SHE'S HOT, A ROGUE, HAS A BOW AND IS ATTEMPTING TO TEMPT ME!
SHE SHALL NOT WIN THIS BATTLE
ANOTHER ONE!
I return to active duty, clearly being stuck in the hospital surrounded by women was a bad idea; they have their ways..
It's just a small nip. I shall carry on. I demanded another floor to the dungeon dug.
And after Ivarr dealt with some spiders
She ran past me "Hey foureyes you coming! Heah, of course not! I'll bring you back that quest item in no time"
Apprently I want some goblinite ore, even though I still dennae hae any iron. The evil witch, next thing you know she'll want me to pay her for it!
"YOUR HEAD SHALL BE MINE!" I heard her cry as I left to write this in my journal.
I'm afraid bad news has just reached me
Foul spiders have learnt thine art of war I see. No matter! I shall depart for combat ontop of the hill between them and the settlement!
Victory, my name is Gregory!
The air was cool on their faces as they marched up the hill
They could see the horde coming towards them, their leaders' voice echoed across the land..
: My friends and meatshields, we may only be five, for half our military is asleep, and the rest unprepared, so we must do against such a horde! I am not scared, and nor should any of you for..
: here we battle, if we do not, the settlement shall fall. The settlement SHALL NOT FALL!
: FOR OUR HOMES, OUR LIVES, FOR OUR TOWN, FOR....SHIT I FORGOT TO NAME THE TOWN!!! Raraggggh!
Though no proper warrior, Gregory Cairon led from the front, and died on the front..
For they were too many and swarmed him, with nothing to stop the spiders, they knew victory was won when they descented onto the settlement.
The remaining townfolk fought back, but against such numbers..they stood no chance
Breaking into the houses of the sleeping townfolk, they made short work of them, many ran for the mines, seeking safety.
The heroes tried to stop them, but failed one by one..as the spiders marched onwards..
And followed the townfolk into the mines..
With no where left to run, the townfolk cowarded against the walls, praying to Nux, the God King..
He didn't listen.
...
...
...
But one townfolk, didn't run for the mines..she tried to arm herself..
But the spiders were returning, and all was lost..
The spider army reached the ladder, only to find no way up.
"Haha fuck you spiders" they heard from above..
For Alianor removed the ladder up before they could return, trapping them in the dungeons..
Diary of Alianor 4/2/1
Oh nux oh nux oh nux I did it!!
Praise be to you!
I hid in the bounty forests and returned for equipment to follow the spiders down to the mines, only to hear the cries of my friends as they died...I removed the only way back up.
I don't know why you saved me and not them. Maybe it's punishment, maybe it's for a greater purpose than myself.
There's a lot of food here for just me so at least I won't starve
As well as many cows
I might be alone.. .. apart from all the bloody cows...but I'll survive.
Soo...
Yeah, that went well. Half of the military, in typical fashion went and fucked off, so I didn't bother putting them as soldiers, one of them that I did make into the military also fucked off to bed, so it was just 4 of them on the hill.
Somehow one of the townfolk survived, I have no idea how, I suspect the Spiders targeted the nearest next target, who then led them down into the dungeons, while Alianor went to harvest in the forest, and then the nearest targets were the rest of the townfolk in the dungeons.
It was a massive fluke to be sure. But there's a choice to be made.
What now? I could either end the town like it should have been in that siege, or keep playing with a single townfolk and see what happens.
SO CODEX, DECIDE:
Get Alianor killed in a blaze of glory like how she should have died but was somehow saved from such a fate, thereby ending the LP.
OR
Keep surviving with just Alianor and see if I can carry on the town and the LP from what remains.
AND ANOTHER CHOICE IF YOU DECIDE ALIANOR SHALL SURVIVE
As you might as noticed, I can add or remove fluids at my whimsy, we can flood the dungeons with water or lava if you so desire, but I don't know what long term harm that might cause, as we will eventually return to the dungeon levels and we might then only discover it to be completely fucking flooded with lava.
FLOOD THE DUNGEON
OR
DON'T FLOOD THE DUNGEON
I'll leave it a day or two for you bunch o' folk to vote before carrying on(or not carrying on)
