What I did not realize immediately is that Zasit had a pet mule, Solon Deteslikot, who decided to go visit her master. Umâtaro picked up the mule's smell and chased it... right back to our fort! |

Mafol was lost, and sadly her sacrifice did not slow Umâtaro down. Cog ran well, drawing the great spider far away from the fort, but in the end she also fell to those fangs. | |
Mafol and Cog... While you shouldn't have gone outside, your sacrifice will be remembered. | Mafol and Cog... While you shouldn't have gone outside, your sacrifice will be remembered. | ||

Sadly, Tulon is rather lacking in brains; instead of coming back down into the fort, he ran full around the chasm. He died at the foot of the goblin fortress, killed by Umâtaro. |

Dwarves rushed out of the fort in haste to get Vabôk's things. I scolded them, that Umâtaro was still nearby and what they were doing was ''a very bad idea''. I hoped that warning would get them back inside without further incident. |
Too late, it seems. The spider was in hot pursuit, chasing them back here. The humans were just staring out; I yelled a warning to them to prepare a defense, and called Lòr and the rest of the squad up above ground to assist. | Too late, it seems.

Only Lolor Sákrithùshrir came out quick; she and I went to face Umâtaro. This was my first real fight, and still none of us had proper training yet. |

Lolor reached the great spider first and did most of the work, hacking the spider apart, while I harried and distracted from the side. The other recruits, the Sheriff, and a few human swordsmen ran up as Lolor delivered the killing stroke. Umâtaro, who had killed many a dwarf, was now dead, and we were unscathed. I was much relieved, and treated Lolor to many a brew that evening. |

− | I got a report that those dwarves are ''still'' across the chasm (NOTE: the blue arrows, they're getting thirsty), paralyzed by fear of some goblin child in a diaper. This is getting ridiculous.

This is getting ridiculous. Every time someone goes out to help, they get scared and come running back. I was happy when Umâtaro died, as I thought that would be the greatest of our problems. Sadly, our greatest problem is goblin children. |
After a bit of thought, I talked to our engineers about building a bridge across the chasm that would provide for them a new path here without having to go past the scary goblins. "No problem," they said. I ordered it done. | After a bit of thought, I talked to our engineers about building a bridge across the chasm that would provide for them a new path here without having to go past the scary goblins.

I'd like to think I've done some good. Our fortress is now up to 33 dwarves from the 14 when I started, though that may drop to 29 if those dwarves across the chasm cannot be saved. | I'd like to think I've done some good.

Led is still possessed but has run out of the workshop. I think she is collecting what materials she needs for her construction, but am uncertain. Whoever follows me should keep an eye on her. | Led is still possessed but has run out of the workshop. I think she is collecting what materials she needs for her construction, but am uncertain.
