Four fingers down, six more to go. Good job, Tokori!

I had to reload the game SO MANY times because this idiot necromancer kept cutting off his thumbs. Finally got it down to an index finger, which means he now only has two fingers on his right hand. Still, it's a fair trade to make if it means we get Kwahu back <3

And then, Tokori's fiancé came to whisk him away to a hospital bed so he could sleep off his psychic coma. The Jones Family is whole once again, and now we can really turn our attention to that pit gate!

With one man down and fingerspikes still emerging from the flesh, backup arrives for Lapu and Mechi in the nick of time.

While Jut, Sneer, and Thralir take over the fight with the brisk efficiency of two trained professionals (and one dirtmole who just wants to get back to mining, dammit!), Lapu and Mechi limp out of the pit gate to get patched up and break the news about Kwahu to the rest of the colony.

Tokori's necromancer senses start to tingle the moment he sees only two out of three Joneses return from the pit...

... so he leaves the triage in Tupelo and Rita's capable hands and slips off to have a look for himself, and see if there might possibly be anything he can do to help.

Fifth Artfight attack feat. Cloud by pchkllr_ on Artfight!

At the time of its devastation, the colony consisted of Zzhou, her Man in Black ex-husband, Tomas the Miserable, our leathery stranger, and a teeny tiny eight-year-old fox-faced girl named Bringa.

Zzhou and her Man in Black got divorced during a massive amount of toxic fallout. Apparently being locked in the base together for an extended period of time did not agree with their marriage.

During the toxic fallout, we managed to maintain our yak, Bette Davis Eyes, and our tiny flock of chocobos (Marilyn and Austen and their babies, Goose and Gremlin), but we did have to sell Goblin the chocobo for pemmican. Enough wildlife died on the map that didn't rot due to radiation that we ate relatively well throughout.

The little boy we had been babysitting left in the middle of the decline, which was great for him, but we hadn't made the bargain for anything edible, so it didn't much help.

Then we got Bringa, who brought with her some maddened foxes, only one of which was edible.

Thankfully, by the time we were all succumbing to starvation, the fallout ended, more wildlife entered the map, and we were able to nurse back from the brink all of our colonists (though not without a fight between our Man in Black and our creepjoiner; thanks, guys).

Then the Yttakin attacked. Two groups at opposite ends of the map, forcing me to split the colony's fighters. Bringa we left at home, hoping to spare her, but, uh. Didn't work super well.

All the adults fell, we took out no enemies, and the colony was lost.
