The northernmost floodgate (red X) is our way to turn the repeater on or off. Once it's been made water-tight, we channel out the connecting tile and let the aquifer flood it. It's completely walled in by masonry to prevent the aquifer from drowning us all. Of course Mama's gonna help with them all.Inside the shaft that we've driven through the aquifer (with our coffer-dam method), we build this device. She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing, Mama's gonna keep you right here, under her =*wing*=. Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true, Mother, will they put me in the Hammering line? Mother, should I Hammer the noble fruits? Mother, do you think they'll try to break my flutes? Mother, do you think they'll put me in the slammer? Mother, do you think they'll drop the hammer? I think I should do more journal entries to music, til I die at least)) I blame OrangeSoda's music choices for me thinking of this. Maybe.maybe there's something I can do to help. But it seems I have some measure of influence over the countess' thoughts. "HAMMERDWARF TAREZAX YOU HAVE BEEN SO NAUGHTY AND MADE MY BABY CRY! YOU GO TO YOUR ROOM AND YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!!!" MOTHER THERE CAN BE NO MORE OF THIS! NEVER AGAIN! Mother, these insane demands of yours for clear glass have to stop, for the good of the people! Wait, didn't you just demand more glassware not three months ago? Oh no Now if only she'll stop demanding the impossible of her compatriots. Well, that's a step in the right direction. "BABY BONKED HER HEAD!!! MAKE THE HALLS BIGGER FOR BABY!!!!" Why don't they just carve out the walking spaces to be in line with the upper levels of the fortress? Then they don't have to crawl around each other anymore, and I won't get bumped every time mother decides it's time for a drink. I see all these Climaxians, running around their little corridors barely wide enough for a single body.

The fortress gates are up for now, but that just means we're locked inside this prison with these madmen. How long has he held that title? Does he simply run unopposed, or is there, perhaps, some nefarious deal between him and the countess that sees all political rivals jailed.or worse? This is insane, how can just one person have such absolute control? The mayor's no better. "And a hat for me!" her consort FebrezeNinja feebly squeaked behind her. "TOYS FOR THE CHILDREN THEY NEED TO ENJOY THEIR YOUTH!!! MAKE THEM OUT OF SOLID GOOOOOOLD!!!" I heared mother scream as she stormed down the hall. Lost an eye, became an alcoholic, lost her mother to an invasion. Curse this worthless shell, I am powerless to stop any of this madness! We're all going to be destroyed by the spawn and I can't even help a poor child I overheard Mr. She means to capture the spawn! This is madness, beyond even that of the old Kings. What kind of pet would an insane noblewoman try to foist on me, anyway?Īnd why are they removing the road? I mean, it is a waste of money that would be better spent on living accomodations and basic health care for the poorer citizens of the fortress, but since when has that ever been a priority for the ruling class? I don't want a pet, I want BASIC MOTOR FUNCTIONS. I heard her and her manservant talking about something. "Baby needs clear glass, make clear glass for baby." I'm liable to get eaten by the spawn at any moment from what I've learned of this place. I can barely hold myself upright, I can't control my own bowel movements, and this, this.ARISTOCRAT keeps dragging me around, making outrageous demands on my behalf. and medic? Man I was gonna be awesome! I was gonna be all like, "I can't save you! I can only make dying feel better for you! With a hammer!"įebrezeNinja had you killed for not making something
