Minotaur!!!

A massive humaniod with the head of a bull appeared in the fall of 1057, coming by land through the mountain range and entering the lands of the Daggervale at the foot of one of the twin daggers. It's massive bull head a site the behold.

The military was scrambled. But weapon shortages & dwarves refusing to equip the proper gear meant half the dwarves in the squads lacked gear. Add to that, by the time the beast had reached the far side of the dagger span only a fraction of the squads were assembled.

But for one dwarf that mattered not. Sodel Dastotamid approached the beast with the military captain Rigoth Uzollerom close on her heels. Rigoth wielded a masterwork obsidian blade. One handed down through the ranks from his predecessor, who met an untimely fate in the caverns below the fortress to a poisonous beast. But it was not the Uzollerom who achieved victory. The beast had just charge into a mountain goat attached at the entrance of the span damaging it's neck when Rigoth got there. His blade swinging wildly, somehow missing the beast.

But Sodel had no problem. A veteran of the earlier battle of the serpent-men clearing from early in the fortress, she had experience & still a scar on her arm from that battle. Though she had seemed to misplace her puny war hammer it mattered not. She simply used what Armok provided her, hands. It's not clear what happened as it was so swift. But the tales that seem to stick speak of Sodel jumping on the back of the beast & grabbing it by the horns, twisting it's thick bull neck so fast it snapped.

By the time the rest of the squads arrived, there was nothing to see. Just a massive dead Minotaur and Sodel standing above it. And a military captain who no doubt was still trying to pick his jaw up off the ground.

Dusting off her hands she turned to the soldiers and asking if anyone was up for some Fisher Berry Wine. It is her favorite...
