ROTQM8 - Rune Oaths Terrify Quarrying Midgets

[Interior. The Temple of All That Is Dave, Dave's Place
Luchuirp. Lavish crystal and marble carvings adorn polished, white
end tables and shelves. Hung on the far wall is a tapestry
depicting the exact moment Dave stole borrowed
total enlightment from the gods.]

[The door slams open. Garrim Gyr, Lord of Luchuirp bursts in]

Garrim: Dave! Dave! Where is that idiot, boy of mine?!?

Accolyte 1: Be excellent...to each other...

Accolyte 2: All we are...is dust...in the wind...

[A delicately carved door opens. Smoke from incense pours
through. Dave, dressed in gold laced robes steps lightly out]

Garrim: Dave, there you are.

Accolyte 3: Blessed are the cheese makers

[Dave holds out his ring, to be kissed]

Dave: My son.

Garrim: Your son? Dave, what is this nonsense?
I sent you out to govern this new settlement,
not found some stupid religious cult.

[Dave is still holding his ring out]

Accolyte 1 Party on...dudes

Dave [whispering]: Father, you're supposed to kiss
the ring...

[Garrim slaps at his son's outstretched hand. Surprised
shrieks from the accolytes]

Accolyte 3 He struck the Messiah!

Accolyte 2 The Dave! Are you hurt, Lord?

Accolyte 3 We must repair him!

Accolyte 1 Lord, if any of my organs or bones
will help, I'll gladly donate them.

Accolyte 3 Oh, the Messiah!

[Garrim shakes his head and plants his face in his palm]

Garrim He's not the Messiah, he's a naughty,
naughty boy!

Garrim: You're a dwarf, Dave, not some stupid
hippy new age fruitcake. Start acting like
a Dwarf...for once in your life...please?
Try to be more like your brother.

Stoneguard Stronginthejohnson Resistence is
futile!

Garrim: Well, maybe there's a middle ground.

[Garrim turns to Dave]

Garrim Now listen, Dave, I came here for
the year end tax reconciliation. I sent
a messenger for the figures last week,
but he never returned.

Dave Oh, you mean Brother Brutha?

Accolyte 2 Hi!

Accolyte 1 Like sands of the hourglass, so
are the days of our lives.

Garrim Dammit, Dave, will you end this nosense?
The tax figures. I came for the tax figures!

[Dave, looking dissappointed]

Dave You mean you didn't come for the blessing?

Garrim No, I didn't come for the $@&*ing
blessing! I came came for the--

Stoneguard Stronginthejohnson I'll take a
blessing!

Garrim ...

[Stoneguard kneels. Dave splatters oil on his brother's
shirt.]

Dave Rise, my son, you are blessed

Stoneguard Stronginthejohnson Sweet! Thanks,
little bro! So I can like, go out and
rape and sh*t and not go to Hell, now,
right?

Garrim It must be their mother. That's it. Gods,
please, tell me she cheated on me.

Accolyte 3 True wisdom consists in knowing
that you know nothing

Stoneguard Stronginthejohnson That's us, dude!
 
Okay, I only played 5 because, more and more, I realize that I have no clue what's going on in this game...

As discussed, I moved a warrior to the square 2SE of AHEM Visibility. I didn't see any barb activity in that direction. However, this guy kept popping in and out...

other than that, I saw a couple of barb warriors up north, but not really near us.

I started a settler in Dave's place when the market finished.

Lastly, I started a road to our northern neighbors. I was really uncertain here. I keep hearing about how FFH's barbs are way more over the top than normal civ, so I attached two warriors to escort the mud golem building the road. Send them home if I overkilled.

wow ~ bill and ted AND monty python...i'm not sure if i'm amused or ready to attack the heretic??
 
Dave: Zzzz...zzz...zzz
Garrim: Dave! Pay attention!
Dave: Zzzz--wha...uh...um...
Garrim: Dave, your brother was about to give us his report from the northern border.
Dave: Ugh, so boring...
Garrim: Well, until Imhotep reports, this is the best we've got.
Dave: Whatever, mind if I go back to sleep?
Garrim: Yes. You're unfortunately my son. You belong in counsel.
Dave: mumble...mumble...stupid fricken...
Garrim: What was that?
Dave: Nothing, father.
Garrim: Very well, Stoneguard, you may continue.
Stoneguard Stronginthejohnson: Okay, so there I was with this hot little piece of woodsprite...
Garrim: Imhotep, please hurry up...whimper...
 
[several minutes later]

Others: AAAAHH!
Stoneguard: tell me about it...did you even KNOW there were male woodsprites?!?!

Sorry guys, but I was sick from Thursday to Sunday and had to stay in bed where it's healthier than in that rough world outside. I'll play and report tonight.

Imhotep
 
Wow, I didn't know that Cthulu was on our team. Kinda weird--I'm reassured that an eldritch abomination is up. Thanks, Jet.
 
Didn't get to it yesterday, but today i will. For sure, promised! :)
 
Okay, since it's 2:30AM in Munich right now, I'll assume I've been let down again. First Cthulu *wasn't* really up and now this...:(

Anyhow, I posted a new game if anyone is interested.
 
Sorry for my late report guys! I played 24 turns to bring us to a nice #165. I have no time now to do a fancy report, but will make up for it next round.

------------------------------------------------------

We discover BW. As the Bronze is mined already (I cancelled the road to our northern dwarven brethren) our warriors gain +1 strength.

Acheron takes his abode someplace else than we are... (for our FfH noobs: Acheron the red is a Dragon, strength 19 and immune to magic. He guards the Dragon's Hoard, an item that gives +4 gold and culture to a city. Tough to beat, but with a Beastmaster you can sometimes even capture him and use him then, which is fun)

The AC is rising over 10. (For our FfH noobs: The AC or Armageddon Counter is raised by several things, such as cities getting razed, Ashen Veil getting founded and spread, or units with the Prophecy mark being built. First tough thing that happens is when the AC hits 40 - then Blight kicks in which means immediate extreme unhealthiness in all cities. Later hell terrain will spread too...)

Our friends launch a small campaign vs. Dain which ends in a draw.

Tech wise I got BW, Education and am working on Construction - we need to irrigate to grow. Settler ready in under 20 turns.
