The Dwarves who lived in the walls | A Dwarf Fortress Tale |

Do you hear strange sounds in the night? While you are safe and snug, tucked into your bed, there are Dwarves who live and breathe in the walls.
Footage captured from Dwarf Fortress. Songs and sounds used from Dwarf Fortress and Mount & Blade Warband. Rhymes conjured with the help of mountain gnomes and other unmentionable fey creatures.

Four trolls!

Stone. Pickaxe

@@victor_silva6142 If the game is modded- sure, I think if the game isn't modded it has to be a metal pick.
Still impressive either way.

The mining stat is the used for pickaxe fighting, so a legendary miner will be a legendary pick fighter

[@zacharyweaver276]

This feels like what would happen if German Dwarves existed and told fairytales

[@crumpetsounds]

This is exactly my kind of entertainment. Mountain gnomes rhyme something fierce, huh?

[@henrisummers6694]

The hard part about working with gnomes is finding time when they're sober.

Big if true. (Thank you for confirming my suspicions that dwarves are in my walls)

Excellent use of meter! Your internal rhyme scheme is wonderfully clever!

[@TN-je2ps]

Love your style, always an instant click when I see an upload.

“No more rhymes now I mean it!”
“Anybody want a peanut?”
“AAHH!”

[@fernando47180]

I love it. Can't say much more.

This is honestly really impressive. I teach English lit as well as poetry and creative writing. I’m no big shot myself, but it’s obvious that this is really well done. I rarely see such a creative approach to this type of content. I really appreciate all your hard work! This was really fun to watch. Liked, subbed, etc…

[@henrisummers6694]

Thankyou very much. I find that this game lends itself well to this sort of storytelling. I'm glad that you enjoyed it!

[@MisterManTheBestMan]

That dwarf looks like Seth.

[@soulculture-j6e]

Good moral to this story. Also don't mess with Dwarves.
