Does StoneSense work yet in this version? I don't use it myself but it would be cool to get a 3d picture of the landscape that the fort will be situated on. Assuming that cliff isn't just 1 zlevel high.

 Overseer's Log for the First of Granite, 553 OOOOK Spanish Matlock, everyone’s watching us now. They’re looking to me for leadership, not a blatant cash grab, so I’m going to have to work my rear end off to make all the loving treasure I’m about to walk away with worth it.   I guess we start by telling someone to haul away these stinking carcasses that the hunters have been littering the apartment level with.  See what I mean? Even right now somebody’s murdering some kind of beast outside someone’s bedroom. Hopefully he’ll be done soon. If only there was some other way to acquire proficiency with a crossbow--  Do you believe in miracles? I've heard stories of archers training with inanimate objects, but I had always thought they were myths. I don't know what dwarf invented this strange system, but if I ever meet him I'll shake his hand.  Ok, I really don’t know why Splode is just sitting there staring into the eyes of this dead hornbird when there’s GARBAGE TO HAUL. Do you want the whole fortress to smell like skinless rotting pork? DO YOU?!  I’m sorry about that outburst but to be honest, a tree attacked us today. Trees. They tried to murder Commoners. I better order someone to take that thing down. For too long it has menaced the good dwarves of this fortress. Commoners goes to wash the sand out of… everywhere. Tough luck, mate. Don’t worry, we’ll get that bastard.   I see some masons running down the hallway dragging half tonne stone blocks from the depths. I order them to check the stockpile first before wasting their time on grunt work. I don’t need those perfect hands damaged hauling stones. WARNING: A new baby appears. Mlle Keybores gives birth to Lawman0.   The dining room engraving continues apace. Subnat Sazirmasos is my kind of nobility. She’s just down there putting tool to stone. Baroness Consort Sazirmasos is responsible for the first masterwork carving in our dining room. Let’s just have a look and see what she--  Oh boy. I was kind of hoping we might have maybe one work of art in this fortress that didn’t involve being eaten by giant monsters. But I definitely see a theme here. Oh well fine art is fine art.  All right I’ve got a project for the miners. Our current refuse stockpile situation is sad. This place is festering hole of guts and filth, to be quite honest. Get out there and dig me a proper garbage dump. Once I have this purple mist out of the halls I can do some proper thinking. Edit: (Made it in with an hour and a half or so to spare. Sorry I took so long, got caught up DMing a Cthulhu campaign this weekend, Next update will see us through to the end of summer.) Edit2: Oh so THAT's how X consort works. Got it. Spanish Matlock fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Oct 8, 2014 |

And I'm afraid to know how it got the poor victim coated in sand. It threw half of its branches at him in a cowardly sneak attack. He escaped unharmed, but the resulting walk to the well to wash off must have chafed something fierce.

 Overseer's log, mid-spring 553 The baby formerly known as Lawman0 woke up today and realized that she's always been more of a White Devil on the inside. The city of Fogwall supports her decision.   We also got so many immigrants today. I don't even... what am I supposed to do with all of this. Okay so: Squidtamer DA operates siege weaponry. We do have a siege workshop and I see no reason why this is not excellent news.  Her daughter Dr. Strangemood has no healthcare skills whatsoever. Because she is a child. She dreams of being good at something someday.  Her sister Falgund, like many dwarves, dreams of creating a masterwork someday.  Falius dreams of crafting a masterwork as well, but unlike Falgund she probably won't. (It is because she is a fisherdwarf.)  Her husband Zarwell is an efficient middle manager.  Their daughter Ygmir is also a child. Boundless potential, dear sweet whomever there's a lot of kids in this wave.  Sky Shadowing cuts up animals for fun. The sick bastard.  KaiShai is an engineer. Which is great, because the STEM fields need more women.  RatoSlov is a farmer who lusts for power. He's also Orv's dad.  His wife Corazon Santiago has great kinesthetic sense, so she's going to fill a hole in the Armored Dabblers.  Dr. Tough is oddly enough not related to Dr. Strangemood in any way.  She brings along her daughter Revthresh.  And her husband R0ckfish, who is a ranger and gets thrown into the archery squad.  Stringbean is a miner with pick at the ready, always fine by me.  His wife Pyroi does farmwork.  SoFal has the makings of a half decent cook.  Stephen Armstrong is an expert soldier and also has mysterious life goals. He also likes elk bird horn so he'll be in heaven around here. The perfect guy to lead our new squad, the Brass Roughnesses .  FunnyFatGuy is a decent archer so off he goes to the Rough Groups.  Mr. Apollo likes to fish.  KKKlip Art is Mr. Apollo's daughter.  Her mom Woodburger is a butcher, which is good because we still have a lot of meat to cut up.  Araganzar is a throughly average gem setter.  crabrock is sort of adequate at turning a pump handle.  Air is lava! is a waxworker. We need a couple of those.  Kelli makes a fine cheese.  Excellent news, my wife broken box has just given birth to our daughter Lars Igathdodok. Marvel at her glory! I've... I've always dreamed of creating a great work of art.  I'm sure Berenzen and Receire are fine babies too. If you like that sort of thing.   We're making steady progress here, ready to fend off the next invasion. The hallway still looks like hell, but repairs are underway on the cage trap diversion. Vomit still soaks almost every available surface. Curse the Sun! Due to an error in archery target construction, only one archer at a time was using the range. Now that it's been corrected up to four people can practice simultaneously. More miracles!  Construction continues on project: Garbage Dump. Truly this will be my great work of art. Not by my hands but by the hands of our skilled miners, mechanics, and smiths. If I believed in a god, I would thank him or her now for this chances to fulfill my dreams.  Engraving the dining room is almost finished. Soon the city of Fogwall will have an attraction worthy of its noble inhabitants.  Spanish Matlock fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Oct 6, 2014 |

We're doing quite well on food and drink somehow. I don't know much about farming, but we've got a couple hundred extra of everything lying around. Honestly, this is my first time as overseer so I'm just trying not to gently caress everything up too badly. I have an idea for a great work though, so hopefully my reign will at least have a climax of sorts. No one dragged the skinless pig to the butchers shop, unfortunately, so we missed out on all the pork fixin's. Edit: Incedentally after loving up the naming order I copied the dwarfing sheet and marked it up to all the dwarves who have been named so far. If the next overseer wants to copy this from me too to keep it going I'll post the link. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cL1rTo1Y0VbuRKwaoIg7MTGfWOHSeJy9E89Jxq5PDtc/edit?usp=sharing If you're yellow you've been dwarfed, if not you haven't.

 22nd Slate, 553 Here's the state of the fortress. We have plenty of food and sundries...  ...despite the fact that a giant bloated skinless pig corpse continues to rot away in a stairwell. Also my wife, broken_box, told me she saw a troll down in the cavern today. I didn't ask her why she was down in the caverns, but no one has seen any trolls since.  We're also out of coal. This is a personal issue for me, as a blacksmith. I can't CREATE under these conditions, people. This has to be taken care of right away. TOP priority.  The trees are getting sloppy with their attacks. This one dives into the river when no one's around, answering that annoying riddle for all time.  Project Garbage Dump is almost finished. All that's left to do now is get rid of the entrance ramp to the surface. I order Stringbean and the other miners to make it so.  28th Slate, 553 My daughter ran astray of a honey badger today. It was just walking into our front gate as if it didn't have any copulations to present. Here it is lying in a pool of its own blood:  You see, Woodburger was nearby and tried to help out. She only got a bruised head for her trouble.  Unfortunately for the honey badger, my wife happened to be exiting the fortress at this exact time. You know that saying about bears and cubs? That woman scares the beard off of me sometimes.  Illest Khan and Captain Duck are complaining about the state of their burial chamber, so I order some platinum statues thrown in and the whole thing engraved.  Among the statues is this one, which is the artist externalizing his impression of DannyGlands ability to operate trapdoors.  As if rotting elk bird carcasses weren't bad enough, Commoners has been eating pig tripe in bed again and his whole room is full of foul stench. His wife Yeol is not amused.  sum was stung by a honey bee during the building of project: Garbage Dump. She'll probably be fine. The big baby.  Bonus points to Zarwell for actually getting work ordered while reading snoozes the entire day away. Nobody carves engravings about effective management but the fort couldn't exist without these sad little fellows.  There was a horrible accident today at the construction site. A piece of flying siltstone collided at high velocity with Stringbean as he was mining out some final bits of the surface access ramp.  You'll never be forgotten. RIP Stringbean.  Tinkerttoy was also hit in the leg, and Boing suffered a bruised liver.   And there was a baby involved.  I'm sorry. It'll all be worth it. I promise. See? They've almost completed the Refuse Escortment Tunnel that will see you fellows to freedom! Just like I planned it all along!  17th of Felsite, 553 Stephen Armstrong has proven to be an excellent addition to the militia. He's currently chosen to wield a short sword that we recovered from the goblins. (It has slain three dwarves.)  His student Fat and Useless is anything but, with his tutelage she's already advanced to adequate swordsdwarfship, despite her corpulence.  She wields a mighty sword which has tasted the blood of a forgotten beast.  My work continues. Stringbean's death will mean something. It will mean sanitation for all dwarves. Never again will miasma stalk our halls like an unseemly beast.  Ah, I still remember when Stringbean, as a young dwarf asked... Stringbean posted:Who was the last dwarfed goon anyhoo? Interested to see where my dwarf will fit into this post goblin apocalypse. ...a stone box next door to the noble's tombs, old buddy. You'll never be forgotten. I hear there's an alligator lurking about, so I order the Brass Roughnesses to look into it, to test Stephen Armstrong's ability as a leader. It's a lucky find for such a skilled swordsdwarf to show up at our city so unexpectedly, but he has yet to prove himself in combat.   As I watch them storm out the door to murder the vile beast, I feel the sticky heat and humidity set in that can only mean summer has arrived on the calendar. A quarter of the year gone and only one dwarf is dead as a direct result of my bumbling. ... I will go down in history as a model of competent leadership.

 (New and improved PNG edition) 1st Hematite, 553 I sent the Brass Roughnesses out to deal with the alligator that's been haunting the countryside. It'll give them some much needed combat experience before the next wave of goblins crashes down upon us. Mlle gets there first and starts hacking away with her battleaxe. I'm glad to see such a prompt response from the military.  She seriously wounds the beast. Neurosis Pinche, who is neither in the military nor currently cutting firewood, but IS currently carrying an axe, shows up and finishes the murdering.  Together they leave bloody bits of aligator all over the countryside.  You may not understand what a dedicated soldier Mlle actually is. She only has one arm.  Supposedly expert swordsdwarf Stephen Armstrong has just been leading a dodging demonstration this whole time.  5th Hematite, 553 I decided to add to the fortress defenses today. We have a fairly well trained set of archers, so I decided to build them a kill box.  With carved fortifications the archers can eradicate any force caught between the drawbridges with minimal danger to themselves. 10th Hematite, 553 A Plump Helmet man rose from the depths today and met Asob and Kogan, the dogs who guard the staircase.   It did not go well for him.  Or the next five of them. Make a note that the dogs won't be needing any food for a while.  13th Hematite, 553 We all heard it. The unmistakable grunts and thrashes of a troll wrestling with some mighty beast. I don't want either of these things living in our caverns, but I'm willing to live and let live for now.  Traders from the human civilization of Anthath Hathur (and their snake man diplomat Os Inshotsholid) have come to visit. They don't bring any much needed fuel but they do supply us with cloth and leather as well as several types of exotic metal.   The snakeman greets our War Baron with oily politeness.   He then tells us some news of the outside world.  The goblins are taking a heavy toll on the humans. Their serpent overlord can't seem to reason with the Wraith of Clutching. Is it any wonder that a Rat Demon cannot be swayed by words? And finally the creature bids us farewell. A strange civilization, those humans. I would not see them perish at the hands of this demon. Perhaps one day warriors of fogwall could put a true end to this scourge.  Nuramor grows up to be a Peasant. Not a single useful skill. Into the military with you, you useless git.  15th Hematite, 553 GreyPwrVan and Symuun have a daughter, named Grapeshot. If she makes it to adulthood she'll be a fine soldier for the fortress.  Jimmy4400nav and Camoes give us a son, named Deki. He too looks to have the makings of a fine soldier.  As if sensing that our numbers grow, an ancient oak in the mountains casts itself toward the fortress gate. It falls well short. Stupid trees.  17th Hematite, 553 Stephen Armstrong has been elected mayor. The nobility insists that an expert swordsdwarf becoming mayor has nothing to do with the fact that they just had to conduct a meeting with an unholy scaly terror from beyond life and death.

10th Malachite, 553 Tresdin and Met bless the fortress with young Solid Poopsnake  It is unfortunate, but as one life enters the fortress so too does another leave it.  Camoes was found dead in his sleep today.  The doctor says he died in his sleep, from massive blood loss.  No one is willing to implicate the one we all know is responsible. This is an OUTRAGE. That son of a bitch Os Inshotsholid walks in here like we don't know what he is. He murders one of MY dwarves. I will not suffer that monster to leave this fort alive.  When I get to the trading depot, the humans pretend ignorance. Apparently Os has made his excuses and begun his journey home already. I eye the new depot killbox appreciatively. When next that demon sets foot in this city, we'll be ready. There are ways to deal with his kind. I order all of the squads back onto active training duty. War comes when we least expect it. I also appoint a hammerer. At times like this it is best to show the people that justice walks the halls. Le_Squid volunteers for the job, and since he is already a noble of the city, I agree.  And, in the midst of all this, our summer migrant wave appears, despite the danger. Fogwall will stand as a beacon in the darkness. Even if our enemies have now been increased by one. Even if they come for us in our sleep. FATNESS ATROCITY is an asexual male with a real thing for saltpeter. Coincidence? Definitely not. He's too weak and flimsy to ever be a soldier, but I admire a man of few words.  Hoomani Asotakrul is also too weak to fight.  Keien Tekkudvabok is an average young woman. Although not soldier material she will provide a strong back for fortress-related labors.  ninjewtsu and Ghostwood's daughter PhantomZero shows up.  Debadger is truly mighty, but her health is a worry.  22nd Malachite, 553  A Jabberer has attacked atomicthumbs in the caverns. I send a squad down to deal with it. We're all hoping that she recovers quickly.  Captain_Duck is on the job, and the monster flees into the caverns at the first sign of a real threat.  When Captain_Duck finally tracks it down, she renders it a disrespect and stabs it in the lung. Let that be a lesson to any mutant creature from the depths that desires to attack Fogwall.   She beheads a Reacher on her way out to show her disdain for all cavern life. She is a mighty warrior indeed.  Le_Squid decides that Zarah has been a bad girl and orders her locked up for a month and a half. Zarah doesn't let this change her training regimen.  A giant cave spider menaces us from the caverns. It must have been drawn to all of the noise that dying Jabberer was making. If we could only capture it I'm sure the rewards would be vast.  Le_Squid who was, let's charitably say, patrolling the caverns looking for 'evildoers' runs afoul of it. Great. Now I'm going to have to do something.

6th Galena, 553  Excelzior runs afoul of the giant cave spider. This menace must be dealt with immediately. I send the Brass Roughnesses down to the cavern to deal with it. By the time Stephen Armstrong gets there, the cave spider has moved on. Veloxyll is down in the cavern gathering webs, and is accosted by another reacher. Stephen Armstrong uses this opportunity to work out some of the frustration he must be feeling.   Also today, we gained a new dwarf. Welcome Quantum Toast. She is PhantomZero's child. She just crawled out of the woodwork when no one was looking.  Ragnar Lodbrok is steadily increasing our fortresses future wealth, one masterwork at a time. This is fine, we're running a little low on crafting supplies, and everyone's clothes are looking a little tattered. With the Giant Cave Spider menacing the caverns still, we can keep our silk spinners out of danger with a little judicious trade.  16th Galena, 553 Tinkertoy enters a Fey Mood and claims a mason's shop.   He requests leather, of which we have none. I order a cull of the herd to provide skins for tanning. I make a note to add leather to the list of things to buy from the fall caravan. 26th Galena, 553 The chill air of fall is close now. I can almost smell it on the air. The morning is curiously silent. Could it be?  It is. It is time. Project: Garbage Dump is finally ready for operation. Stringbean, you have not sacrificed yourself for nothing.  I order the Brass Roughnesses to the dump in case anything goes wrong. The fact that this squad includes our mayor, Stephen Armstrong, is an added bonus. 1st Limestone, 553  A lone hamster raises his head, his nose twitches nervously. Does he suspect the carnage about to occur?  Perhaps it smells the cool, dry autumn wind blowing across the execution platform.  Organ Grinder is first to wear the black hood. He slowly trudges down the hallway. A grim set to his jaw. A gleam in his eye. He unlocks the door to Kan Udeshlimar's cell. "Move along, scum."  Let the fate of Kan Udeshlimar be a warning to all who would attack Fogwall. The Garbage Disposal is hungry.    "Garbage Dump" Mechanics Chat: So this garbage disposal is a 60-foot drop onto five 6-blade serrated copper disc traps. The prisoner is hurled from the upper level and lands on hard stone flooring. If the prisoner survives, the second he tries to crawl off that tile six serrated saw blades dismember him. If he manages to crawl one tile to safety in any cardinal direction six more serrated saw blades will definitely dismember him. If he manages to parry the earth and nimbly dodges the first set of traps to the diagonal, he will fall into an underground resevoir and drown. None of that other stuff is likely though, because the center weapon trap swings six large serrated coper blades with the skill of a masterwork gem-encrusted mechanism that I found lying around.

Epee Em posted:You say garbage dump, I say Snake Shredder! That's a small problem, since Os would know about the traps. The fall might still kill him. I know that injured dwarfs set off traps, but I'm not sure about injured snakemen vampires. In any case I likely won't see Os again before the end of the year so that's really the next overseer's problem.

Oh how I want to set retracting bridges over it and do such wonderful, awful things with that lovely shredder.

10th Limestone, 553 Tinkertoys works furiously at the mason's. He appears to be building some sort of ornate box. Only time will tell.  Oh wait he's done. He's created "Duskbleed the Father of Fears". I bet it contains artwork of a dwarf being murdered by something.   Or just ghosts. Fine. It's a ghost box.  In any case, our chief medic Tinkertoys now joins the ranks of the fortresses legendary craftsdwarves. Congratulations! Zarah is still doing her dime in prison. The quality of her restraints is keeping her from being too bummed out though. Last time I checked up on her she was still doing sit-ups.  Stephen Armstrong keeps mandating minecarts. Perhaps he has some master plan that I'm unaware of? Who knows.  The outpost liaison arrives. She brings with her wagons heaped with trade goods. Excellent. Now we can bolster our failing leather and cloth supplies in preparation for the hard winter ahead.  She chats up the mayor and they hammer out an export agreement.   Hopefully they can take some of these weird faces of death action figures that Ragnar refuses to stop making. 21st Limestone, 553   Doc.Apple is a happy addition to the fortress. A mighty warrior indeed! Although she has no formal education, she goes straight into the Brass Roughnesses. I'm sure Stephen Armstrong is looking forward to teaching her the finer points of swordplay.  We celebrate the induction of Fogwall's newest soldier with the traditional mulching of the goblin.  Excellent form, but he definitely does not stick the landing. 10th Sandstone, 553 Everyone's been pretty happy since we started heaving enemies of the fortress into a pit full of murder. I order a troll caught in the caverns up to death row, hoping he'll survive the fall with enough vigor to get torn asunder.  ...except I don't count on the merchants who lose their collective poo poo and commit a bloody murder right there in the hallway.   Whoops.  Oh well, a murder is a murder I guess. They'll probably take stories back to the mountainhomes of what excellent hosts we are for offering up a troll to murder. All in all it's been a pretty successful year so far. As we enter late fall I think we're well prepared for the coming of the winter's hordes. At this point nothing could possibly happen that the fortress would not be eminently prepared for. 22nd Sandstone, 553   gently caress.

More updates on the way, I just got a rush editing case though so I may need a few more days to finish up. I'll throw up an update that goes at least until early winter tonight.

6th Timber, 553 The fortress welcomes BrimleyBelchBreath, son of Zarah (who must have had a better time in prison than I imagined.) and Potato.  16th Timber, 553 The fortress welcomes plscks Dumatsarek, son of Yeol and Commoners.  22nd Timber, 553 The fortress welcomes Shotaro, daughter of Gamer and Veloxyll.  Jimmy4400nav gets possessed by the spirt of an undead mason.   28th Timber, 553 The fortress welcomes pamcakes, daughter of Windy Skunk and Boing.  The fortress also welcomes NastyToes Delerdogik, daughter of sum and SilentW, our broker.  Nastytoes is notable for having unusually serious dreams for a baby. I sent the Rough Groups to deal with another Jabberer in the basement. If this one is anything like the last one we'll be having Jabberer sandwiches for years. I think we still have hundreds of pounds of jabberer left in the pantry. I figure they can pepper it with bolts and make short work of it.  He stands around the same section of the cavern as the last one. What draws these beasts inexorably to that spot? Is it the smell of blood from all the prior combat? Probably. Drakenel takes the worst of the Jabberer's attacks. Apparently the great bulk of the Jabberer's body protects it from bolts somewhat. She loses her leg and takes some serious wounds to her hand. Not the first amputee in the fortress.   The Jabberer picked the wrong fight this time though, and gets the worst of it when R0ckfish shows up.  R0ckfish seriously beats the hell out of that thing.   I'm pretty sure he's still down there punching that thing in the face right now. 6th Moonstone, 553 As winter sets in, Mlle "Bone Carver" Edematek, The one-armed lieutenant of the Brass Roughnesses has a son named Nemo2342.  The merchants are still spooked by the Troll encounter and refuse to leave. Unfortunately, it's time for a planned refit of the trade depot, and they just get caught up in the mess.  In all the confusion it seems like they've left their entire caravan worth of goods behind.  I make a note that we should make an extra generous offering to the Mountainhomes next fall. I honestly didn't know that this would happen. I'm not surprised but I wasn't trying to steal their stuff. They bugged out due to the scary troll and wouldn't leave.  The catapult is a fine addition to the trade depot. Not my call, but I'd sure like to introduce Os Inshotsholid to a few pieces of flying rock.

It's worth nothing that all (or at least a large number) of the restraints in the jail are decadent platinum chains.

Drakenel posted:You hear that? I better become a legendary champion soldier while still on crutches. If it makes you feel better R0ckfish went totally sickhouse on that thing while you were lying there in a blood loss coma. I'm sure the fine doctors of the fortress will have you up and hobbling around in no time.

If youve been paying attention you should have a decent idea who it is. I'm gonna leave that problem for the next guy though.

Loving the fan art. Expect an update within the next 12 hours or so. I will answer various questions about the state of our military even! Fortress info megapost Interesting note: Captain_Duck is my younger sister. I assume that her baronessship is acquired through marriage? Or perhaps our civilization is matriarchal. It would explain all the women in the fortress. Current Gender Ratio: 69 Female/57 Male The sexuality of the adult population of our fortress breaks down as follows: 1 Asexual Female: necrotic Dawncropper. 7 Bisexual Females: Shuffle Laudedmountain Gamer Archfilled Araganzar Tattoospears Doc.Apple Ropeiron Keien Pickorbs KaiShai Helmedspears 60 Heterosexual Females: Everyone else is heterosexual. 1 Asexual Male FATNESS ATROCITY Lettersouls 4 Bisexual Males SilentW Fencespear Stephen Armstrong Charmcobalt Sky Shadowing Workdrink crabrock Daleproof 52 Heterosexual Males Everyone else is heterosexual.

12th Moonstone 553 Our front gate is immaculate, and the trade depot is complete. No more rough stone walls. Fogwall is becoming a truly grand fortress/city.  17th Moonstone 553 Welcome Strevl Gruntbonk to the fortress! He's the son of Fat and Useless and Idles.  28th Moonstone 553  Pyroi was arrested today. She never built Stephen Armstrong the minecarts he wanted. Wanted for what? Who can say. It's a serious crime though. Geokinesis isn't willing to let her off with a warning.  9th of Opal 553 Welcome Ventnor, daughter of Falius and Zarwell. Relatively normal baby all around.   We found atomicthumbs' body in the caverns today. It looks like he was mauled by some sort of animal. The screeching of giant bats was heard in the distance, perhaps them?  Yes, this one here is covered in dwarven blood.  (It's also holding his hat.) I imagine that atomicthumbs put up one hell of a fight before he let that thing take him down.  10th Opal 553 ddgentha was born in prison today. He is the son of Stringbean. :itisdepressing:  The caverns have grown far too dangerous.  I decide to dig out a lower barracks to put some soldiers closer to the action. I doubt it'll be finished before the end of the year. 12th Opal 553  ghetto wormhole tracks down the bats. Take them out, for atomicthumbs. He fires a bolt straight into one of them.  They flee into the depths, hissing like demons.    During the battle, Woodburger gives birth to a girl named Catten Hulhu.  She has great endurance and worships the god of war, although she is only a baby. 20th Opal 553 Zaliskegeth the giant bat was slain today. Rest in peace, atomicthumbs. My wife, broken_box wasn't willing to let the demons go. She tracked them down to their lairs. Unfortunately, she forgot to bring along her crossbow. Fortunately, she remembered to bring her left hook:  Eventually ghetto wormhole shows up and together they end the menace known as Zaliskegeth.

Pyroi posted:
I would really hope you could hear the baby, since it just crawled out of your birth canal. quote:The only real differences are that I'm not disadvantaged when it comes to social skills and I'm anything but flimsy. Other than that, my wife read over the profile and said that she wasn't sure if it was talking about the dwarf or me. Were you born in prison after your father died in a horrible construction accident?

26th Opal 553 ghetto_wormhole was tragically slain today in single combat with Limegast, the other cave demon. He put up one hell of a fight, and managed to lodge a bolt in the creature's upper spine.    (Those are ghetto_wormhole's teeth.) Yamtaggler, my second son, was born in the hospital today. His mother was recieving treatment for the cut on her finger she got while punching a giant bat's face in.  28th Opal 553 Geokinesis paid attention in crossbow school, and knows how to deal with a giant bat.    4th Obsidian 553 To honor ghetto_wormhole's passing, we send a goblin to serve him in the afterlife. She's a fighter! But in the end she goes the way of all who stand against us.   Soon this will be a stinking cesspit of rotting goblin limbs and blood for our more nimble enemies to drown themselves in. 7th Obsidian 553 Midnight voyager, daughter of GoldenPrice and Quartrefoil, was born today.  9th Obsidian 553 It appears that Pyroi will never finish her prison sentence. She was found, chained to the wall, drained of all blood this morning.  The only witness was her infant son ddegenha. What did he see? We may never know. 12th Obsidian 553 Futuredays is born! She is the daughter of Corazon Santiago and Ratoslov.  24th Obsidian 553 Jimmy Jangleboots is born. He is the son of Elswyyr and Excelzior.   As we wind down the year, we are disappointed by the lack of contact with the enemy. Although the caverns are a neverending source of combat experience for our soldiers, we have taken quite the loss from the constant harassment of the underground dwellers. Hopefully when the new barracks is completed, we'll be able to more efficiently divide our focus between the two gates of the fortress. Blood is still being drained from our citizenry in the night, although not at a truly alarming rate. We lost three dwarves this year to the depredations of this monster. As my overseership ends, I look back with satisfaction. We have accomplished great things this year, and no vampire, no goblin, no cave troll can stop us now. Our military is well trained, or citizenry are fat and happy. 554 is the year of Fogwall. Edit: Here's the link to my copy of the dwarfing form for the new overseer, so you know who is left to be dwarfed. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cL1rTo1Y0VbuRKwaoIg7MTGfWOHSeJy9E89Jxq5PDtc/edit And here's a link to the save file for same. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4GihQz0YN6QMEFwRlcyTXRkdmc/view?usp=sharing Spanish Matlock fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Oct 16, 2014 |
