The anti-climactic end

There once was a werechameleon...

and of course my quarantine hospital was working fine. The chief medical dwarf unfortunately was trapped inside, but his service to the fort will be remembered.

Speaking of memory, I actually forgot about the trapped dwarves in my hospital. I wasn't just careless, there was a troll that got loose outside my gates and I had my militia head out to take care of it. The active fight was brief, just a few blows and the troll was knocked senseless. After that, it took 15 dwarves 60 pages of hits to finish him off. That took awhile.

In fact, it took so long, the detailed report of our lizard-nightcreature's demise is now lost to memory for good.

There was just one record.

 

An engraving of the event by a fellow dwarf Sigun Nosingsolon. the engraving is called Zondosim, "The Helmed Wisdom"

 

Engraved on the wall is a well-designed image of Kulet Boltedtail the dwarf and Kol Oiledsuns the dwarf by Sigun Nosingsolon. Kulet Boltedtail is making a plaintive gesture. Kol Oiledsuns is striking a menacing pose. The artwork relates to the mortal wounding of the dwarf Kulet Boltedtail by the dwarf Kol Oiledsuns with a pig tail sock in Ancientaxes the Angelic Oaken Bile-of Cheese in the late winter of 128.

The remaining werechemeleon Kol was soon lost himself, to the dropping of a gate on his head. No trace of his dangerous remains were ever found.

Kol was later memorialized on a gabbro slab, his fellow dwarves remember him this way.

This is a well-crafted gabbro memorial to Kol Uzolad. 

The slab reads:

"In memory of Kol Uzolad Born 106 / Went missing in the year 129 / Slayer of Kulet Boltedtail / United with billon".
