Murdermachines the Blood-Citadel
(http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc401/zlowpoke/Mmd_zps931fffdb.png)
"We have treasures of the ages piled around the fort in heaps of rotting garbage and flesh. We've created a home for a malevolent deity of ill fortune who seems predisposed to strike at us, the players, directly, in a way not seen since the days of the Virtual Boy. Our riches are guarded, not by traps or dwarven steel, but by the fact that the surface around us is so full of the murderous, the insane, and the murderously insane that one group of looters merely gets massacred by a group of marauders, and that's before the horrible abominations against nature trundle through and decapitate and/or assimilate the survivors. We have seen kobolds become conquerors, seen the very walls fracture and crumble before unnatural misfortune and poor forethought, and placed all our hopes in a batch of tortured, soulless children and the literal avatar of annihilation itself, because every other God worth mentioning turned away from us in horror a long, long time ago. Our home is no more and no less than a beacon of slaughter, a living, breathing organism that eats life, drinks hope, and shits misery as every sentient race in the known world gathers here to offer their best and bravest at the altar of Terry.
Nietzsche wrote, "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friends, we are not he who fights monsters. We are not he who gazes into the abyss.
We're the thing in the abyss that's gazing back!"

Quote from: kefkakrazyQuoteHere we have Dortimus, the ultimate punching bag. For some odd reason, 2 entire squads went for her. After she fell unconscious, they all proceeded to break all of her ribs repeatedly for 2 ingame days before one of them headshotted her.
Terry almighty.
Those voidspawn must have been pro-life, to go after the Abortionist like that.

Quote from: SanDiego
One thousand and fifty three female goblins? That's either bug or you were the worst back-alley abortionist EVER.
Quote from: kefkakrazy
Honestly, random crossbow-based surgical experimentation is probably a step up when it comes to Mad Fool's ethical practices.
Quote from: CognitiveDissonance
You misunderstand. Those are Goblin migrants, who have heard about the wealth of the fortress and have come to live in our cages/moats/arenas.
Quote from: Teh_Idort
Murder-Machines, You aren't welcome unless you have had somebody inside you at least once.
Quote from: kefkakrazy
So do we actually have any animals here, or is Murdermachines just the universe's biggest furry convention slash charnel house?
Quote from: Yuli Vlasi
TalonisWolf, sadly the deathcount has not reached the thousands yet. We are at 782 right now.
Fun fact: About 1/7 of all deaths that occured in Murdermachines have been caused by the void god.
Introduction:
When I died, I expected to enter the Golden Halls of the Stonemaker and take my place among my ancestors. I expected feasts and fine ale for all eternity; my reward for my tireless crusade against the foul demons that threatened our world. Instead, as I stood before the Eternal Gate, I found them closed to me and my brothers. My fallen comrades and I sat before the Eternal Gate, hoping it would someday open to us. We prayed to the Stonemaker, sang songs in his name, and hoped he would make his will known to us.
Finally, his voice came to us.
The Stonemaker told us the truth. In our struggle against the demons, we had become tainted. The moment my kin entered Hell, our souls were forever tainted in the Stonemaker's eyes. Our unclean souls would never reside within his Golden Halls. The noble crusade my people had devoted ourselves too, the selfless belief that we would protect the world, had damned us. We begged for a way to cleanse our souls. Yet our pleas fell on deaf ears. Never would we see the Golden Halls. Our punishment was not complete however; the Stonemaker would not let us dwell in purgatory before the Eternal Gate. He cast us out into the abyss.
Into that horrible… cold, black void…
There was nothing but emptiness. All of us were trapped in that void; there was no light, no sensation, and the only sound was the screams of our brethren. We could only scream.
But as we languished, we found him, the end to our lament. He, the black formless mass from the void, told us that he had been watching the inhabitants of Deathgate. And he offered us a deal, an escape. And it was through Him we found salvation. He taught us to escape the void and to return to the world of the living. We learned to possess the bodies of living dwarves and, in exchange for their souls, we could take their bodies as our own. Alas our skills were imperfect; at first we would forget ourselves upon taking a new body; however in death, our memories would always return to us. As time went on, we were able to retain more and more of ourselves. While we wanted to ensure our immortality and avoid the Abyss forever, we could never make the preparations we needed.
And worst of all, each time we died and were forced to take another body, our souls became further tainted; becoming further divorced from the dwarves we had once been. Despite the price, it meant avoiding that terrible fate of the Abyss…
But then Deathgate was swallowed by the Chaos god. This was a cataclysmic time and many of my brothers, and myself, were in the Abyss when the last of the dwarves fell. At first we thought ourselves lucky to have avoided such a fate. But then we found we were unable to possess the bodies of other races. We were left forever trapped in the void, unable to do anything but scream into the endless blackness.
I don’t know how long we were remained in that void. A day, a year, a century? Time has no meaning in the Abyss. But during that time, I changed.
I went insane; as did we all. With no stimuli for our mind, I lost all sense of self. My memories merged with those belonging to the bodies I had possessed. My subconscious and my conscious mind slowly dissolved into one and my being expanded outwards. Over time I grew hungry for meaning, for purpose. So I began to consume the souls of humans to sate my desire. I was not alone in this, several of my other brethren followed suit. Through our hunger we became powerful and the world became visible in ours mind’s eye. Slowly we learned the secrets of the Abyss. Yet we remained unsatisfied. Although we held knowledge and power, we were still trapped in the void. And since the Abyss was immutable, we could never bend it to our will. For all our power, we were could do nothing but toy with the humans and feast upon their straying souls.
We had become like Him; the dark voice of the Abyss that gave us hope and a way to originally escape. From time to time, he would speak to us. Both He Who Dwells in the Void and ourselves could never escape.
But then I felt the soul of a dwarf.
Not a soul belonging to my brethren, these souls were still untouched by the taint that had damned us here. I could feel them beyond the veil of the Abyss, beyond the world we knew. It wasn’t just one or two souls; no, it thousands of them. I had found my and my brethren's salvation from this foul Abyss. Another world, filled with souls and ripe for the conquest. We could take new bodies, create a new dwarven empire, and never again dwell in the Abyss.
I plunged through the black veil and let my eyes view the new world.

Sorry if it sonds elfy, but wont evil biome feature make it hardly playable? It's great as self-challenge, but succession game in this surroundings can quickly turn unsalvagible and unreclaimable. Instead I suggest choosing a site with a necromancer tower nearby, or at least make sure there are some part of non-evil biome, so there is zombie-free place.
Though, I will do my best during my turn. Also, I think having ocean coast on the site would be great.

King Atir Ingizmuzish has commissioned myself and six other dwarves to establish a logging outpost in the Murk of Furs, a small island that is attached to the mainland by a tiny isthmus. Truth be told, I don't know why the king insists on establishing outposts this close to the frontier, especially with the troubles of late. We have safer and equally plentiful forests farther from the border. However it is not my place to question the king's will. We have been preparing for the journey for a month at a nearby fortress and we plan to depart in the morning. The equatorial autumn is quite mild here, and we shouldn't encounter any adverse weather. And hopefully we will avoid the worst of the mosquitoes as well.
I only hope there aren't any setbacks.
There is a map folded inside the journal.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
There are seven of us in this expedition. Myself, Ber Gisekmuthkat, the leader of this expedition, it's chief administrator, as well as it's doctor. Vutok Ostarsodel, our axedwarf and manager, a dwarf with whom I cannot see eye to eye. Our mining crew consists of Bomrek Ibelsodel, a friend of mine, and his comrade Likot Stigazlibash. Farming duty is split between Aban Athelgerig and Feb Mozirlogem. Our lone craftsman is named Stukos Gingbomrek and he is charge of carpentry, stone crafting, and mechanics.
We carry with us numerous animals for food, as well good stocks of lumber so we may establish a foot hold before the lumberjacks arrive next autumn. Stukos insisted on bringing an anvil with us, despite the fact that none of us our trained blacksmiths. He dismisses my skepticism and claims he is a quicker learner.
Journal of Ber Gisekmuthkat, Expedition Leader. Autumn 250
Our initial plan was to cross the narrow channel between the northern section of the island and the mainland. However it seems the king’s royal cartographers were wrong about the channel. The waterway is far rougher than we had anticipated and is far too rocky for us to cross with barges. Because of this, we must now travel south along the coast until we reach the isthmus to the island. I expect us to reach the site before winter's end. Thankfully, snow shouldn't be an issue this far south.
Journal of Ber Gisekmuthkat, Expedition Leader. Late Autumn 250
For the past week, I've been feeling somewhat ill. It started with fatigue and a poor appetite, but within days it had worsened considerably. I have trouble walking due to weakness in my legs and I often feel lightheaded. While the others haven't said anything, I know they are worried; I am the only doctor in the expedition as well as the chief administrator. If I die, the outpost will likely fail.
I do not want to worry them, but I fear something other than a physical malady is wrong with me. When I sleep at night, I hear whispers. They've been growing louder each night and I've grown more and more restless.
When it's quiet, I can almost hear them when I'm awake. This is very worrisome, but I cannot tell the others.
Journal of Ber Gisekmuthkat, Expedition Leader. Late Autumn 250
We've crossed the isthmus today.
The others are scared, especially Bomrek. I cannot walk any longer and have trouble staying conscious for more than a few hours. I'm constantly tired and still feel little desire to eat.
I fear this journey will be my death.
Journal of Vutok Ostarsodel, Administrator, Early Winter
Ber would not wake this morning. Although she is breathing, all attempts at waking her have failed. I fear whatever she has contracted will soon be the death of her. With her incapacitated, I am responsible for the expedition and it's health. So I've ordered her wrapped in cloth and carried on the back of the wagon. Despite the fear that her sickness is contagious, she is simply too useful to discard. While I loathe that woman's guts, the expedition comes first. Bomrek would not allow us to do so anyways; he is the only one who actually calls that woman "friend".
Feb is worried as, by his admission, he is quick to take ill. I tell him not to worry, but he's maintained a good distance between himself and the wagon all day. While I agree, Ber is too useful to simply discard. Stukos volunteered to feed her; he claims he hasn't been sick in ten years. I pray to Kirar that he speaks the truth.
Journal of Vutok Ostarsodel, Administrator, Mid Winter
Our journey across this large island continues. Ber has not woken from her coma in a month. Our initial worries that her illness was contagious seem unfounded, as even Feb remains healthy. Whatever Ber is ill from, it appears it won't affect us.
Still, I'm not lifting her quarantine. Only Stukos is to come into contact with her. This has worked well so far and I see no reason for it to change. Bomrek is angry with me, but I care not.
Journal of Stukos Gingbomrek, Craftsdwarf, Mid Winter
I have not told Vutok or the others, but in her sleep, Ber speaks in a tongue that I have never heard. Even though I don't understand them, I cannot help but fear the word's meaning. Occasionally however, her whispered chants are in Dwarven.
I wrote down her last chant.
Those who are trapped beyond the veil,
Writhing in darkness as they endlessly wail,
Their eyes are black, their skin is pale,
And when they come, our walls shall fail.
Screaming from the void, I hear their names,
They want our bodies, they have made their claims,
Soon they shall come, our souls they shall maim,
Our only salvation is to die in the flames.
Something awful has possessed Ber. I cannot tell Vutok.
Journal of Vutok Ostarsodel, Administrator, Late Winter
Still Ber has not woken up. Stukos says nothing is wrong aside from the coma, but I see him and Bomrek whispering amongst themselves when they think me preoccupied. I know better, something is up. Tonight I shall go and see Ber myself to out find what secrets they've conspire to keep from me.
Journal of Bomrek Ibelsodel, Miner, Late Winter
I believe this expedition is cursed.
Ber finally awoke from her coma today. But I fear whatever demons she has been wrestling have claimed her soul. She is not the same dwarf I once knew.
It began when Vutok broke his own quarantine and checked on Ber himself. He heard the strange whispers that Stukos told me about and came to the conclusion that she was possessed by something foul. Vutok was furious at us for keeping this secret and he commanded us to throw Ber from the wagon and leave it for the wildlife to eat. Obviously we told him he to find a fine lute and play it softly.
He didn’t like that.
Next thing we know, Vutok is threatening us with his axe. He demands we follow his orders or he’ll lop off our heads. Likot is quick to come to our side and soon he and I are gripping our picks and ready to come to blows with Vutok.
The next thing we know, Ber is standing atop the wagon. Her eyes are narrowed and an expression of utter rage is upon her face. Vutok pales as he sees her; I feel my blood run cold. I’ve never known Ber to make a face like that.
She stared daggers into the three of us, “What do you think you three are doing?" Her voice wasn't the same. It sounded cold, distant, and cruel. "Put down your weapons."
“Ber, y’er awake!” Stukos had a wide smile on his face, but his expression faded once he saw Ber’s face. “Lass… what happened to ye?”
“Have we reached the site yet?” She paid no mind to Stukos.
“T-two days,” Vutok stuttered fearfully, “We’ll reach the site in two days.”
“Good.” And that was it. Ber sat in the back of the wagon and proceeded to eat a rather large share of the rations. No one said anything.
But I knew. I knew that whatever demons Ber had been wrestling with had won. She was not the same dwarf I had known.
Kirar, give me strength.

Journal of AnimaRytak, Former Overlord of Deathgate. Spring 251
How is it, that out of seven dwarves, I get stuck in the body of fucking smurfette?
Seriously this is awful! I know I should be all Ooooh, I have a body again, yay!, but I've got to friggin' squat when I pee! Is a god damn penis too much to ask for?! There's SIX other dwarves that I could've possessed here but no, I couldn't possess one of them. I get stuck in the lone woman in the group.
Honestly, if I didn't have so much work to do, I'd kill myself right now and start over. But my brothers are waiting beyond the veil and they require a beacon to reach this realm. The outpost that this body was suppose to establish will serve as the base of my kin. I think I'll call it Murdermachines...
Here's a doodle of the campsite.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/striketheearth-1_zps0171d498.jpg)
Journal of AnimaRytak, Overlord of Murdermachines. 1st, Granite 251
I finally figured out what day it was. Also the others really didn't care for the name I gave this outpost.
They replied with, "But the king said to call it Timbershards!"
"Well fuck your king!" They didn't say much after that. Which was good, because I told them to "Get your asses to work!"
I order Vutok to clear some trees around our wagon. He responds, "I'm not a damn woodcutter!"
I respond with, "You either cut wood or shave my ass, pick."
So he's cutting wood now.
The tell the two miners to dig into the dirt and build a small hideaway below ground. For now, chief priority is creating a beacon for my brothers but that doesn't mean I can neglect basic essentials like food and shelter.
I tell the rest of the dwarves to cage up these damn animals. I still have nightmares about all the creatures that used to stalk the halls of Deathgate; nightmares of the mounts of shit and shed fur in the hallways. That will not happen here in Murdermachines. Not a damn chance at all.
Granite 4th, 251
Excavation into the dwarfhole progresses. I've ordered Stukos, that craftsdwarf, to set up a carpenters shop next to the entrance and build us some needed furniture.

Aw fuck, crow women!

The dwarfhole is finally complete. I've ordered everything carried underground and stockpiled as well as ordering a mason, carpenter, mechanic, and craftdwarf's workshops built. It's a little dirty, but it'll do for now.

Granite 22nd, 251
Feb is complaining about tree roots poking him in his sleep. I tell him to stop being such a pussy.
Bomrek and Likot are getting bored so I tell them to begin digging a tunnel to the site of the beacon. I don't tell them what its for and they don't bother asking.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/tunneltonowhere_zpsd3e0101d.jpg)
Not shown is the trees I ordered Vutok to chop down above the beacon site, in the rain.
Felsite 16th, 251
Shit.
After waiting for Bomrek and and Likot to dig out the beacon, which took forever since they had to dig down four levels just to reach rock, I realized I took an entire month off from writing anything in this journal. (Really, why the hell am I doing this?) I ordered our miners to take a quick break and dig out a room for farming.

So does Deathgate II have any major goal besides "survive the voidspawn?" I mean we already colonized hell.
Ooh! Get voidspawn INTO Hell!
The only thing that saddens me is that the next DF version is too far off for us to have waited for it; the fact that Deathgate I effectively died a slow death by starvation deeply saddens me. We need the world to be filled with rampant boning in order to produce theexpendable slave labormeat puppets we need.
If the voidspawn work as intended, just surviving them is going to be insanely hard.
But aside from "not die" and "build huge awesome mega projects", Murdermachines doesn't really have a main goal.
If, for some reason, Murdermachines dies quicker than Deathgate (which lasted 19 months by the way), then we'll settle Deathgate III into an evil, savage biome with voidspawn access and evil rain.

So, if we fail faster here, we throw ourselves upon our own swords in the manner of the ancient samurai and restart somewhere where we're even less likely to survive?

Such is the way of Deathgate!

EDIT: Some questions about the voidspawn. Are they supposed to look insectoid because of the ant/bee like caste system? Are they laying eggs?

EDIT: Some questions about the voidspawn. Are they supposed to look insectoid because of the ant/bee like caste system? Are they laying eggs?
With the exception of thralls, which are not voidspawn proper, voidspawn reproduce by laying clutches of eggs and have insect like carapieces.
You can imagine them sorta like Xenomorphs from Aliens, Tyranids from 40k, or Cho'gath from League of Legends.
Overlords and Patriarch's have four arms, a prehensile tail, four eyes, and two horns.
Soldiers, plaguebringers, and drones have two arms and two eyes.
They have no skin or hair, use a thick shell carapiece for skin, and use a special type of muscle that doesn't bleed very much and heals very fast.
All castes have sharp claws and teeth.
My implementation of the voidspawn wasn't perfect. Their genders are a bit wonky and they're too small. But they are deadly. My only concern is they don't have the shear numbers they're suppose to. (They're suppose to out breed every sentient race in the game, but that rarely happens.)

Feb and Aban finally finished the farms. We have four fields, so I've ordered plump helmets, cave wheat, pig tails, dimple cups, and quarry bushes planted in seasonal rotations.
Digging on the beacon continues. I'm impatient since my brothers cannot join me until it is finished.
Stukos is growing bored and has been whittling stone crafts to pass the time. I order him to construct mechanisms to trade and to secure our entrance.
Hematite 11th, 251
Bomrek and Likot seem to have gone on summer vacation instead of digging the beacon. Do they not realize how much work is to be done?
Hemtatite 17th, 251
I finally have my own office again. And it seems, just like as in Deathgate, I'm stuck taking inventory in the common room.
Malachite 1st, 251
Migrants have arrived! This means when the beacon is complete, I shall have more bodies for my brothers.
There are five in this batch. Besmar, a woodcutter; Erush, a cook; Kel, a bonecarver; Logem, an animal caretaker; and Sibrek, a weaver.
Amongst them, Kel, Logem, and Sibrek are marksdwarves, Besmar and axedwarf, and Erush is a macedwarf.
Seeing as how they have nothing better to do, I've ordered Besmar and Vutok to begin training.
For once, Vutok didn't complain. Probably because I made him the militia commander.
Galena 14th, 251
In anticipation of the coming supply caravan, I've ordered a trade depot built.
The final level of the beacon has been excavated. A little more work and it'll be completed.
The excitement is palpable.
Galena 27th, 251
A litter of kittens was born today, the first in Murdermachines.
I've ordered the trio of adorable kittens butchered. I will not have a repeat of Deathgate.
Limestone 2nd, 251
The beacon is complete.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/beacon_zpsd39f45aa.jpg)
Despite working on it for months, Bomrek and Likot know nothing of its intended purpose. They are unsure of what the eldritch symbols mean, nor the importance of the geometric shapes. But no matter, soon my brothers will take their bodies as their own.
Limestone 3rd, 251
My brothers have been reborn.
noodle0117 has taken the body of Stukos.
Derm has possessed Vutok. He now calls himself "The Fearbringer". Perhaps he was in the void a little too long...
Prosnorkulus has taken over Besmar
Ulborb, calling himself the Stonemurderer, has taken over Bomrek.
Jables takes the body of Likot and calls himself the Stoneman.
Krosan takes the body of Sibrek.
Raptor possesed the body of Kel.
The body of Aban is taking by Atomic Avacado
Saint takes the body of Logem.
With that, only Feb and Erush remained as themselves. Feb is too busy to notice the change in the others. Erush barely knew anyone else.
Limestone 4th, 251
noodle0117 and I converse for the first time in what may be eons. He was the second overseer of Deathgate, and our most gifted mechanic. He also had the misfortune of having to reincarnate about half a dozen times. Quite tragic.
Still, this many bodies is not enough. Dozens of my brethren remain in the abyss. The beacon is complete, my brothers can arrive. Now it is time to make Murdermachines grow.

They should qualify as sentient (they have their own civilization and such) unless I've made a mistake somewhere.
So they won't be butcherable.
They can craft weapons though. But I honestly can't say what level of metal they'll use. I believe they can use iron and bronze, perhaps even steel. But I cannot say if that works as intended or not.

With the whole demonic dwarves coming from the abyss to steal the bodies of other dwarves, Fearbreaker seems a little to noble for a body thief. But I can change it if your set on the name.

I hope they aren't intelligent enough to make real weapons or such. I think it's a bit silly when there's some sort of "God race" that's better in almost every way, including intellect, and yet still occupies the same realm as any other sentient race.
They can craft weapons though. But I honestly can't say what level of metal they'll use. I believe they can use iron and bronze, perhaps even steel. But I cannot say if that works as intended or not.Oh. aaaaaw snap, this sounds worse than Holistic's spawn.
I'm not sure how you specify what metals a civ can use or not, I haven't delved that deep into entity files yet. It looks like you can force an entity to use wood materials with [WOOD_WEAPONS] and [WOOD_ARMOR], and it looks like [STONE_PREF] might permit a civ to use metals from ores, like copper or iron, but otherwise it might be up to the RNG in world-gen.
I'd just recommend the modding forums and/or the modding questions megathread for reference.
Also, nice beacon.

For reference, the overlords have a size of 360,000, about 6 times the size of a dwarf. However they're still smaller than a horse, which is 500,000.Their genders are a bit wonky and they're too small. But they are deadly. My only con-HAVE TO DRAW. WHERE PAPER?Quotetoo small. but deadly.
In retrospect an overlord should've been about 1,500,000 in size.

Soldiers are twice as big as a human.
A patriarch is three times the size of a human.

Currently our twelve dwarves are sharing six beds, and one table, and two chairs. Everyone is shoved into one rather large room that serves as our stockpile, crafting workshops, dormitories, barracks, dining room, and meeting hall. However these meager accommodations will not serve us any longer. It is time to turn Murdermachines into a proper fortress.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/fortressproper_zps3ee290e1.jpg)
This shall be the fortress proper.
I've ordered Derm and Prosnorkulus to clear trees around the entrance while Jables and Ulborb dig out the fortress. Noodle is making mechanisms for the trade caravan. And everyone else is hauling.
Cept me. I'm counting plump helmet spawn.
Old habits die hard.
Limestone 20th, 251
Digging has revealed the following minerals.
Hematite
Native Gold
Malachite
Tetrahedrite
Galena
Gypsum
Additionally we have large quantities of Limestone.
Murdermachines will have steel, something Deathgate could never claim.
Limestone 24th, 251
Here's a doodle of the new area of the fortress.

Here's a doodle of the farm area.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/farmarea_zps9af62096.jpg)
The fortress proper is dug out already. We still lack workshop areas, but our food requirements come first. We may be technically immortal but these bodies aren't.
We had our second wave of migrants today as well, six in total. The new migrant wave brings our brothers Space Cat the Axedwarf, Dortimus the Axedwarf, Thorkild Járnöx the carpenter, and SanDiego the Architect.
Timber 16th, 251
The outpost liaison and a caravan arrived today. Some of my brothers suggest we simply take their goods, but I tell them we must appear normal. We require migrants and many of them. Such things will not happen if the mountainhome despises us. I ordered our mechanisms hauled to the trade depot.
Trades went well. In exchange for our mechanisms, we received a very large quantity of booze and meat, along with a little cheese.
For next year, I told them we'll need fish and cheese.
In return, they've requested the following.

Moonstone 2nd, 251
We kick off winter with rain. Fantastic.
But that's not why I'm pissed.
We decided to celebrate the new farm areas, and the new still, by drinking in our mostly empty dining hall. And I may have gotten a little drunk.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/ineedtostopdrinking_zpsa6ee3741.jpg)
I really, really need to stop drinking.
Moonstone 7th, 251
I've ordered an area dug out for the main stockpiles and the crafting rooms. It's quite large and will not be completed before the end of the year.
Opal 5th, 251
The water outside froze today. I had thought temperatures here were mild enough to avoid such things, but it seems I was wrong.
With the year coming to an end soon, I've ordered walls constructed above ground. Between noodle and Thorkild, it should be finished before winter's end.
Opal 25th, 251
The water thawed and the above ground fortress is complete.
Obsidian 19th. 251
Numerous kobold bandits have attempted to break into our fortress. All of these attempts have failed thanks to the two puppies we have chained up by the entrance.
Obsidian 30th, 251
Unfortunately my duties as fortress bookkeeper, broker, and all around good chump leave me with little time to manage this place any further. I have no appointed overseer, so long as it is one of my brothers.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Here's the current population, stocks, and appraisal of the fortress as of 252.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/animarytakyearend_zps76cad366.jpg)
And so I conclude my turn. Once again I've passed the torch on to another dwarf.
There is still much work to be done. Most of the fortress is unfurnished, We have five beds for a dozen and a half dwarves. A single table in the dining hall. And virtual no storage space.
I have no worries. Murdermachines shall be a glorious fortress.
My brothers and I shall consume this world.

OBSIDIAN 30, YEAR OF ARMOK 251
As of this day, Murdermachine's interregnum is over.
The heir apparent buggered off after the Founder, bless his Void-begotten heart, stepped down from the position of Overseer, and after about six hours of booze-soaked anarchy it has fallen to the Military - more specifically, me - to take command of this outpost, not even in its second year, and make it into a fortress worthy of the Void Wraiths. It will not be easy.
Primarily because the dwarf woman I have been provided as a host is delicately described by the others as "just incredibly fat".
(http://i.imgur.com/Kkfiq.jpg)
Even in death, the world still finds ways to torment me.
Now then, to business!
The fort appears to be in decent shape, unlike me, and we have enough food to last us a good long while, most of it being some incredibly well-made turkey egg biscuits. Superior, I'd go so far as to call them! Additionally we have alcohol. Ah, sweet rum, how I've missed -
(http://i.imgur.com/A6Kj5.jpg)
Ale? All that time spent wasting away in the Void, and all I get when I come back is some biscuits and bloody Dwarven ale?
Where is the rum?
Why is the rum gone?
This must be fixed. What barbarians only drink ale? Why, it's undwarflike! Elfin, I would go so far as to say! Patches of sweet pods must be grown immediately! For peasant consumption, there shall be wine and ale and such - but for a Templar, only the finest rum will suffice.
Where was I...aha! Yes! Work orders!
Poor Ulborb, the chump, appears to be digging an immense chamber out that has no discernible purpose all on his lonesome. I'm not sure if it's some personal obsession of his or the last dwarf in the big chair was really just that sadistic, but I can't tell what in Armok's name the fellow is contributing with this, aside from a great deal of rocks. He'll be reassigned shortly to more rum-related projects.
There's also a few levers in the military area that I'm uncertain as to the purpose of. One is being connected still, but the other I just ordered somebody to pull on to see what happens. The dwarf responsible wandered back to me afterwards and said there was a piece of parchment labelling it as the door control. We have two doors - above and below ground. Huh. Go figure.
The Trade Depot is inaccessible due to some...interesting hallway designs, and otherwise this place has a distinct lack of traps. I can see a great deal of work here is needed before we can fight off the goblins.
GRANITE 6, YEAR OF ARMOK 252
One of our miners was whining about quickly I want them to dig out the rum distillery and how he felt his true calling lay in carting blocks of shit around instead. New edict: If you can hold a pick, that's about all you're doing for the rest of your life. Deal with it.
GRANITE 7, YEAR OF ARMOK 252
Some blighter named "Space Cat" was exploiting a loophole in his host's contract to let him get away with "storing an item in a barrel, sir!" as his sole mode of gainful employment. Fuck that, I said to him. You're on rum duty now. Hope you like mud.
GRANITE 11, YEAR OF ARMOK 252
Took the entirety of the first squad off-duty. Normally, I'd say "sure, keep training. We'll need some bodies to hurl at the goblins when they come and we have no traps." Not now, however.
Now, we are in a crisis situation. On this day, Murdermachines ran out of seeds.
(http://i.imgur.com/yeXWa.jpg)
The ale isn't far behind.
Emergency measures have been taken. Much as I love the biscuits the chef prepares, I have ordered cooking of food to stop. We will gnaw on raw mushrooms for a while to get the seeds. Plump Helmets, able to be eaten raw, are now not to be cooked under pain of exile.
GRANITE 19, YEAR OF ARMOK 252
(http://i.imgur.com/UGJbi.jpg)
Prosnorkulus has started whispering sweet nothings to his axe. It's pretty damn disturbing in bed, I can tell you that.
GRANITE 21, OH ARMOK HELP ME 252
Well, I got the housing district set up. Ulborb's weird giant room has been subdivided into nice private apartments to be distributed on a first come, first serve basis.
(http://i.imgur.com/0KKDH.jpg)
That big apartment is mine, by virtue of when the miners complained I sat on Jables until he yielded. Sorry, lad, you can haul shit around some other time.
Booze is almost gone. We have three ales left, and I really must commend these fellow Void-Wraiths for their restraint - the miners have been thirsty for days, and yet refuse to even sip from the cache out of civic duty.
Why do we have so little booze, you might ask? Well, because somebody didn't listen when I said "no more fucking biscuits" and every new rock pot that rolls off the assembly line becomes a Murdermachines Special Crock o' Biscuits!
(http://i.imgur.com/dSBPK.jpg)
So, we're in dire straits on the sober front, with two legendary stonemurderers on the brink of realizing exactly what the hell is going on most of the time, and what do I get? What divine answer to my prayers for booze and pots does the Great Armok send?
(http://i.imgur.com/WShBP.jpg)
I need some rum...

It was so pretty too :(
Well, we're stockpiling dwarves in it now. I've always preferred winging it when it comes to stockpile space, anyways, with preference for sort of basement/attic type set-ups with the related workshops - but in this case, I thought it was just going to be some kind of immense open-air dormitory or something equally as offensive to my aesthetics :) . Sorry!

Again they put me to work digging. Don't get me wrong, I was fine as long as I only had to feed AnimeRytak's ego, now I'm feeding the rum obsession of some nutty overseer who thinks that rum is the only priority and fails to see the value in wine. Now we're missing the grand stockpile and I'm expected to dig out more rooms.
Well, my booze break is over. Time to resume mining for the rum crusader.

GRANITE 7, YEAR OF ARMOK 252
Some blighter named "Space Cat" was exploiting a loophole in his host's contract to let him get away with "storing an item in a barrel, sir!" as his sole mode of gainful employment. Fuck that, I said to him. You're on rum duty now. Hope you like mud.

Wait, what? My turn!? Now? No, skipped? What!?
I am so confused.
THAT BLOODY BASTARD Disassembled my squad and relieved me of duty! At least I had my axe when I was murdering trees. What if we get attacked? I'd chop HIS head off if I could. At least he's solving the booze problem, I guess.
The giant room was suppose to be the stockpile for all the fortress goods, cept food and such.
It was so pretty too :(
Again they put me to work digging. Don't get me wrong, I was fine as long as I only had to feed AnimeRytak's ego, now I'm feeding the rum obsession of some nutty overseer who thinks that rum is the only priority and fails to see the value in wine. Now we're missing the grand stockpile and I'm expected to dig out more rooms.So. Much. Sad.
If you haven't thought about how you are going to explain why your dwarf loses his position as fortress overseer yet, you just made yourself alot of enemies in the fort.
And in case no one else volunteers I'd like to give my turn to InsanityIncarnate.

GRANITE 21, YEAR OF ARMOK 252
Twenty-four dwarves. Twenty-four thirsty, hungry, seedless, boozeless, useless immigrants. What drew them here, I wonder? The stories of our wide and spacious hallways empty of Rum? The chance to be possessed by the denizens of the Void? The beautifully forested prairies that we intend to defoliate in the name of industry?
(http://i.imgur.com/HWrdH.jpg)
Whatever the reason, they came, and we have only 3 ales left.
When the blighters got to the front door of the fort, I asked how many of them knew how to hold an axe. Three raised their hands, and they're now Squad Three, along with a dwarf who really wasn't good for much else besides stabbing. The rest, I split up into three major camps: They Who Brew, They Who Grow, and They Who Carve Rock Pots. There was also a dwarf who told me, "Boss, if it's related to wood, I can handle it." Considering he provided his own axe, I figured why not. Prosnorkulus can have a friend to talk to out there besides his damn axe.
I've also sent a few dwarves out to do some seed-gathering above ground. I don't like it, but even such an elvish activity as open-air farming is preferable to drinking stagnant lake water.
GRANITE 23, YEAR OF ARMOK 252
I have discovered why nobody has drank the last of the ale yet. It wasn't out of a sense of civic duty, like I'd assumed. No, the dwarves here are too basic for such urges as "patriotism" or "selflessness" to motivate them. The last 3 ales have remained undrunk and kept on-record because ANIMARYTAK THE LAST OVERSEER HAS BEEN HOGGING ALL THE BOOZE FOR HIMSELF IN HIS OFFICE!
(http://i.imgur.com/wGf9T.jpg)
He's been holed up in his bloody office since I announced the rationing system I came up with, "updating the records" for days on end! Now, though...now I know.
I know what the bastard is up to.
I know.
GRANITE 25, YEAR OF ARMOK 252
OH WHAT THE ARMOK IS IT NOW?!?!
(http://i.imgur.com/9t3hM.jpg)
Some armorer named Bim something-or-other has gone and angered the spirit world. Armok help her if she demands I build a forge. I am not setting up a new industry in a time of bloody crisis just so some disembodied gnome or whatever can bang some garbage can lids together.
GRANITE 26, YEAR OF BATTLE 252
You know what? I'm sick of this fucking world again. Soon as I can, I'm buggering off back to the Void where the rightful overseer went and dragging his sorry essence back out here to run this shithole. Cold empty nothingness may be boring, but at least it isn't actively trying to fuck me over.
(http://i.imgur.com/e81AK.jpg)
I took both squads out so we can end this little apeshit. While SanDiego and I fired arrows in at the bastard, the Fearbringer brought honor to his name and some extra rum rations for himself by charging in and hacking at it from behind. When SanDiego ran out of bolts, he added his meager strength in as well.
(http://i.imgur.com/D4bVh.jpg)
OOC: This is page three of the report, and the one that sums it up nicely. The Fearbringer is a berserker.
The ending was a truly glorious flurry of blows, until the Fearbringer's many blows brought low the foul werebeast. Truly, this was a fight that will be sung about once we get a proper mead hall...and some mead, maybe.
My only regret is that we were too late to save Krosan.
(http://i.imgur.com/tIJE1.jpg)
Truly, one does not know how much they will be missed until they are gone. Even though his spirit has only fled to places easily retrievable, his loss hit us hard - for if he could fall, what other child of the Void could follow?
Perhaps Armok will be pleased with this sacrifice of blood? Perhaps the great Blood God will show favor on us poor, benighted beings, and grant us the nectar of the gods, the holiest of all alcohols - the blood-wine of the Golden Table? Surely, Krosan's death and the Were-Ape's defeat were not in vain?
Where are you, Armok?
~~~
Well, that was an interesting month of Granite. Considering the Fearbringer's performance in combat and the sudden vacancy left by the militia commander's untimely strangling, I think he might be seeing a promotion in his future.
No dwarfings right now, sorry everyone :( I'll compile a list and check the new suckers for worthy ones next update.

Finally got put back on duty.
As a regular soldier. My anger knows no bounds.
Got to test my skills against a were-beast, foul creature was no match for my axe.
Fortunetly, my commander had an... accident during the fight, leaving me to get promoted back to my old job.
Funny how that happened.

I thought Derm was the militia commander o.O Krosan was commander of the marksdwarf squad.
I honestly have no clue. All I know was that someone official-sounding in the army died after I rebuilt Derm's squad, and he acquitted himself in combat well enough to earn some kind of reward. If he already is the chief of the army, he gets a fancy new apartment or a front-row seat in the Temple of Armok/Dining Hall I'm planning, or something.
I kind of wish I'd built some cages for the were-ape, now, actually...he'd have been an excellent initiating sacrifice.

Suitable matches did not exist for the others. Why they would want to exist in this booze-dry wasteland anyways is beyond me, but I suppose a body and no rum is better than rum and no body, or even no body and no rum. Those poor, poor fools.
I assembled a third squad of random mooks I found shuffling the halls. No axes yet, but hopefully the walls I knocked out near the trade depot will let the caravans fix that for us.
Bim remains a gibbering wreck.
SLATE 5
This is a day that shall live in infamy.
I ordered one of the new peasant recruits into AnimaRytak's office when he wasn't looking to confiscate the ale. I had it brought to the stockpile and admonished the thirsty dwarves to remember we had to make this stretch until the first of the new liquor pours from the taps.
(http://i.imgur.com/moT29.jpg)
...Dwarves are not creatures of moderation.
Murdermachines is now officially a dry fortress. The outlook on the pot situation is bleak - the idiots in the stockpile rooms are just cramming random objects into them now, instead of biscuits, instead of beer - and thus have I ordered the construction of a well so we can at least get some clean water.
SLATE 8
Well, I'll be damned. The rock carvers did it! Pots are flowing freely out of the crafting chambers.
And look! Stukos Lightningrained even managed to grab one before it was repurposed for pebbles!

The Eigth of Slate shall hereafter be known as Lightning Day, the day when this brave champion beat back the merciless hoards of teetotaling traitors and saved Murdermachines from Prohibiton! Praise Armok!
SLATE 9
A few other brave, anonymous heroes have taken it upon themselves to begin the brewing of sweet, sweet alcohol as well!
(http://i.imgur.com/JLg2F.jpg)
I think it's safe to say that we've put the worst behind us. Murdermachines can return to its pleasingly alcohol-soaked state of contentment once more.
Well...once one last thing is taken care of.
SLATE 25
(http://i.imgur.com/Jq1Lt.jpg)
Militia Captain Krosan has received a large, smoothed-over, and well-engraved tomb to house his body's restless spirit after death. It is carved into a lovely pair of blue mineral veins - microcline and cobaltite - and is situated due south of the growing apartment complex.
This has been a peaceful month, a lull in the constant struggle to survive. We have well over 150 drinks of all sorts, though still no rum. I suppose if you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself.
~~~
Construction on the sacrificial temple/dining hall is starting. Long drops stun creatures and make them vulnerable to traps, correct?
What's on my dwarfs personality/looks screen thing?
I'll check the save later. What I do know right now is that AnimaRytak's dwarf has a grudge against both you and the late Krosan, and that's about it.

What's great about all that, is that you can make a 'Murdermachines cocktail' out of all of those and it'd still be less creepy than half the things that go on in the fort.

Got another soul to come through the portal today. Insisted on being called "Steve, Destroyer of Trees" but I don't have any more axes on-hand, and wouldn't give this fellow one even if I did. I mean, look at him!

The poor blighter hasn't got hardly a clue where his bloody toes are, and even less of a clue what to do with them! No, I said to him. Not a woodcutter. His next choice?
Potash making.
I sort of glared at him for a while before filling out "wood burning" on the immigration forms.I just hope the fucker doesn't fall in and we need to expend someone useful to fish his bones out.
In other news, I also told Jables and his friend to stop stacking rocks and start carving them outta the cold walls, preferably in the shape of a temple. Honestly, I give them half a chance to diversify, and nothing gets done around this place...

Construction has finally begun! This shall be my Magnum Opus, a Wonder like the world has never known! Templars shall flock to our banner! Pilgrims shall come from miles around to gape at the splendor of our creation, and revel in the spectacle of the ritual sacrifice.
In the name of the Stonemaker, Armok, and the Gory Spirit, this place of majesty shall be dedicated to the Trinity of Blood. Through the intercession of the entrails of our foes, we children of the Void shall be cleansed and redeemed in the eyes of the gods, and we shall take our rightful place as rulers of this world!
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! BLOOD FOR ARMOK! AHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA~
...
yes.
~~~
Told you it was tonight :)
Also, I did, in fact, try to reason with the elves, but when they refuse to sell me strawberry seeds and a few cages made of crappy twigs in exchange for an entire donkeyload of gemstones, I tend to lose my patience really fast.
EDIT: Woah, I just realized that the Fearbringer enjoys something called clown loach. I am almost completely certain that is not a vanilla thing. Am I safe in assuming it involves ampersands in some way?

Just you wait. Terry's casualty list (AFAIK) includes several computers and Deathgate the First. He'll be back for more blood.Wonder when Terry's comming back.He never left, he's just sleeping.

With our characters being void-gods and all, hopefully he isn't as big of a threat as he was in the old world.

Prepare for my ballista bolts. Prepare your... ahm. Guts.
Seriously, the first thing I will do in my turn will be ordering myself to build hundreds of ballistas everywhere and then fire them all day, all night. Legendary siege operator can kill a FB with one shot using masterork siege engines and ammo, can't he? That's why.

You could also build a catapult range. It doesn't use up stone so you can run it forever without issue.

HEMATITE 1, YEAR OF ARMOK 252
(http://i.imgur.com/EfCdXYd.jpg)
Bim's gone gibbering off to her room. Everyone else is keeping a wide berth. This was the only event of note that occurred today.
HEMATITE 4, YEAR OF ARMOK 252
Sent the squads out to get some live training on a few giant sparrows that were nipping at some masons. They got some good training in running, I'll tell you that.
HEMATITE 9, YEAR OF ARMOK 252
(http://i.imgur.com/ppn1fgk.jpg)
I think I know why my host was so fat now. noodle0117 is throwing a party to celebrate.
I will, of course, not attend. Actually, as it stands noodle and AtomicAvocado are the only attendees.
HEMATITE 10, YEAR OF ARMOK 252
(http://i.imgur.com/T95IIVR.jpg)
Olon made what can be humbly declared the best fucking cage I've ever seen in my life. I mean, wow, that is an amazingly well-sticked-together pile of sticks.
MALACHITE 2, YEAR OF ARMOK 252
(http://i.imgur.com/UKsUPpM.jpg)
Raptor's withdrawn from society. Considering he had the idea when he was carting shit around, I can't say I'm too enthusiastic about what he may produce.
MALACHITE 3, YEAR OF ARMOK 252
Bastard's claimed a craftsdwarf workshop. Yeah, this isn't going to be spectacular.
MALACHITE 4
He's started sketching skeletons and leather. If he makes some sort of living creature out of this, I take back everything I've said.
I think I might be focusing unhealthily on Raptor, so let's take a look at the other most interesting thing in the past month!
(http://i.imgur.com/nKgG3bk.jpg)
Yeah...Bim's, uh...Bimming, I guess.
...
I wonder if I put a classified in Monsters Weekly we'd get another were-ape attack?
MALACHITE 26
(http://i.imgur.com/17P60AC.jpg)
Immigrants! Immigrants immigrants immigrants!
Welcome, brothers and sisters in Armok! Our glorious temple nears semi-almost-completion!
Well, we've got the blood-altar set up, at least. I'd pop Bim in through the hole up top first, just to shut her incessant babbling, but I'm not sure if she's too far gone to not set off a cage trap.
Instead...
I wonder how many of these immigrants have friends?
GALENA 1
(http://i.imgur.com/p2Ef9SL.jpg)
Well, we all knew it'd happen eventually. The looney wasn't even drinking towards the end! And now the nudist is dead, and the halls are quiet once more.
...I think I'm going to scream if things don't get more interesting soon.
GALENA 9
(http://i.imgur.com/32eDt24.jpg)
Dortimus produced a meatshield of his...her...its very own!
GALENA 16
Humans spotted! Their wagons appear to be taking the incredibly long, winding, and inefficient route - maybe they think the suspense will make us more likely to give them a good deal on these damn fine wood cages?
GALENA 17
(http://i.imgur.com/7bFERXi.jpg)
AWWW YEAH TIME FOR SOME ACTION!
Goblin pedophiles spotted off the port bow! All military squads ahead full.
...
(http://i.imgur.com/MOKDWDU.jpg)
I arrived a bit later of course, as I was out hunting giant mosquitoes with my darling son. You can't catch mosquitos without live bait, after all!
Ah, family bonding...I remember back before the Void, when my father would take me out to hunt the Great Mosquitos with him...he tied me to a tree then, too. Just as I have done for my son. He'll be a Templar one day!
23 GALENA
The wagons finally arrived. Negotiations commence, Jables at the head.
The deals are hard and the prices likely illegal in some of the more tightly-scrutinized bazaars, but we come to an agreement with the humans; they walk off with a good number of rough gems, a masterwork cage, and a few bars of silver, and in exhchange we get a few bins of leather, wild strawberry seeds, and a few picks.
28 GALENA
(http://i.imgur.com/EOWNRAU.jpg)
The altar is complete! Let the test run commence!
I order a cat to be sacrificed to the Stonemaker. I will die permanently one day, I know it, and I want the Halls to be open for once more, dammit!
2 LIMESTONE
(http://i.imgur.com/nrUIarb.jpg)
Well...at least he isn't streaking.
...
Hey, guys, how's that cat sacrifice coming along?
(http://i.imgur.com/LgCq5YI.jpg)
It...it lived.
This is a very bad omen, isn't it?
Post by: StLeibowitz on January 21, 2013, 01:57:13 am
PTW.
Nothing happening much so far. Also, what's with StLeibowitz's tileset?
I don't have a tileset, which is the problem - AnimaRytak had one, and thus the raws are adapted for that set. I don't have the same art assets or whatever, so I get instead a bunch of messed-up tiles. It's kind of like duplicating raws, except for art.

No dorf for anyone. I was playing at 1 AM and did not feel like searching through this thread for people who wanted to be dorf.

Great. I'm gonna die of insanity. Whoopee. Hey, since it's melancholy, I have a question. Is there any water around, or failing that, a cliff?
There's the sacrificial pit, but as the cat's survival indicates I haven't quite worked out all the bugs. The fall wasn't high enough to knock out the victim for disembowelment by the eight copper disks of pain.
Post by: kefkakrazy on January 21, 2013, 11:50:17 am
Name that baby Lashidang!
Yes, please name that firstborn baby Lashidang for me.
I don't know if I got redorfed in the last wave, since I think we were low on unnamed dwarves; if there's no Krosan in the fort, please dorf me as one of the marksdwarves as Krosan II.
Also, I get to go tell Dortimus that he's a mommy now. This will probably end

Though the female organs are new knowledge to me, but hey, live and learn.
I'd love for Krosan to be my child, so I can mother him, and eventually abuse him. He's just a child, so he doesn't know any better than "I wanna be a soldier when I grow up!"
Not to mention I'll have time to impart the ways of combat onto him when I carry him into battle.
(But totally dorf my kid as Krosan, it'll piss him off to no end.)

Do military dwarves get strange moods?
I think Raptor was a military dwarf, and he got a strange mood, so I'm going to say yes.
I'm sorry for the lack of updates, but I've been slammed by homework this week and have a big presentation coming up on Friday that I must prepare for. If you're willing to wait, I can probably finish my turn, but if the next guy is itching to go I can post a short farewell entry and upload the save.
Post by: arclance on January 26, 2013, 04:07:01 pm
The raws aren't duplicated - The tilesets just change the art for the pieces. If you have LNP, you can update the savegame to the tileset. Or lack thereof.No you can't, that does not work on modded games because LNP does not preserve the modifications.
You have to change tilesets on modded games by hand.
Post by: StLeibowitz on January 27, 2013, 07:19:22 pm
Things I was unable to accomplish:
-The Temple of Armok is basically useless for the sacrifice of farm animals, though it should work better for genuine enemies. Also, I never did get around to putting in the tables and such to make a dining hall.
-Nobody ever had a successful mood. The Spirit World and I do not get along well.
-There's a cat loose in the fort. Not sure if it's male or female. Kill it anyways, it is a sacrifice to Armok and that must be completed!
-Never exacted my revenge on Anima Rytak for booze-hoarding. ("Saint" Ducimakum, Military Governor, is stricken by melancholy!)
In-Character reason for abdicating the throne:
~~~
From the Journal of Saint, Military Governor of Murdermachines, Templar of Armok, Empress of the Underground, and Former Master of the Void-Wraiths
LIMESTONE 3, YEAR OF ARMOK 252
Nothing...has...happened...in...months.
I can't do this anymore. There are mosquitos to be hunting, a son to be raising in the way of the Templars of old, skills to be maintaining - and here am I, scratching a quill scross some blasted cat parchment and filling out Mok-damned immigration forms!
I'm going into the damned portal tonight and dragging that deserting heir out of the Void and giving him a body here. I quit! I forfeit! I resign! Someone else can have the damned job, I have Giant Mosquitos to kill! I didn't repossess someone's body and annihilate their soul so I could become a petty bureaucrat managing some two-bit outpost on the ass end of creation! I'm through!
...I'm keeping the apartment, though, I think. It's a damn fine apartment, even if only half-done.
I'm leaving this log and a list of my regrets in the top drawer of the Overseer's desk. Raptor just walked by and I want to laugh at his failures one last time before he can do something about it legally.

Take this one too. The dorflist would be so much easier to parse if it was on this spreadsheet, but it's late for me and I don't have the time to get it corrected right now.
I've updated the public spreadsheet with everyone from the list (up to the last copy posted by UristMcDwarfFortress).
Guys, please add yourselves if you're not on here. I don't think I got most of the requests from this page.

I'm adding a dorfing request to the googledoc spreadsheet. I'm also going to add a "job name" column to make it a little easier to read. I'd also recommend just using the spreadsheet kefka created instead of the document, just so we don't go needing to update two documents.

There's two because I didn't bother to actually compile the spreadsheet last night. I did it this morning and will probably delete the text list and the link to it later today.
[EDIT: Marked off several columns on the right side as an experimental project; let's see if we can keep succession history on these wee bastids! I for one would have loved to be able to access a simple list like this, for example, of the many deaths of Tryrar or Baelor from Deathgate. I added an entry for the only dorf death I've noted so far: my own. I suppose we have an insane dwarf who will join me soon.]

Did some digging in legends, and it looks like you were a member of The Rampart of Tours when they attacked Hexhatchets, which had lots of goblins in it. So, you were in a position to kill goblins, but I don't know about 1,053. I'll keep looking.

A cat has been vomiting for about 2 pages of reports.

The meeting hall, or what currently passes for a meeting hall, is being smoothed out. Soon it will be engraved.
And some of our green-skinned friends have arrived to take our children. They can have them, actually. This fort's three babies are doing nothing worthwhile. Also, why are the goblins represented by buckets?

No reason it should be. As Anima linked to it on the front page, as long as we can make a gentledorf's agreement to actually use it, it should work fine.
If you're the player taking a turn, and you want to make a pass of the dorfings, you can check the list, see who's dead and alive, and update statuses accordingly.
If you have someone or more than one someone die, it'd be cool if you (or someone) could make sure that the cause of death is logged as well, because I feel like that would be really fun to read later on.
If you're someone who wants dorfed, you just open it and add to the list; next time a player makes a dorfing pass he should catch you and get you added.
It's a little bit of paperwork, but with much less potential for missed dorfings or redorfings than the player having to catch every dorf request post that gets made...
EDIT: That is to say, no, you guys, you don't have to repost the link. You might acknowledge that you made a change in a post you make, but you don't really have to repost the link because it goes to the same page.
As long as you have that link, google cares not if you change things. Heck, it doesn't care if four of you are on there making edits at once, it'll catch them all. There's even a chat bar on the side where you jokers can talk over your dorfing changes.

(Yes but it is unclear over whether or not I am actually in the in-game position. And have a squad.)Don't worry, you're still in charge of the military.
The human traders left. I couldn't take any of their stuff :(
Lots of babies are being born. Why haven't we set up some Dwarven Day Care? At least then the goblins wouldn't steal half the kids.
The sacrificial pit sucks. I dumped a yak down there, and it got a few bruises and a broken spine. Because of this, I'm setting up a new pit that is much higher up. It's going to be several z-levels above the surface, made from...
MICROCLIIIIIINNNEEEE!!!!!
[EDIT] The pit works! The miner who dug out the new pit plummeted to his death! Lots of bones were shattered, and lots of tissue was bruised. He died in less than a day after falling.
[EDIT2] Sadly, the miner was identified to be Jables the Stoneman. He will be missed.
[EDIT3] Migrants have arrived, so if Jables wants redorfing, now's the time to ask.
Post by: kefkakrazy on February 02, 2013, 01:41:06 am
I would assume you can go ahead and redorf him if there's free bodies after everyone else who hasn't been dorfed yet gets one. We could probably do "automatic" redorfing since we have the Dorfinator list to show who needs it.

Anyway, I'll set your dwarf to doing useful things, peregarrett, but first I'm going to overhaul the entire industry setup of the fortress. At the moment, dwarves are running around doing any job that they've got Novice in. I mean to remedy this by setting up structured industries. It will be woefully inefficient to get running, but it will be glorious once I'm done.
Also, why are there only three babies? My forts get swamped with so many migrant children (yes, I set the child cap low) that I decided to rename them in the raws as "dwarven booze sponges".

An important thing dawned on me - last time I read about the sacrificial altar design, it sorely lacked in upright pointy thingies department. Gravity is good, gravity with pointy thingies even better!
I put a weapons trap with eight giant saw blades in it at the bottom. The theory was that the drop would knock the sacrifice out, and the buzzsaws would spray bits of it (as well as copious volumes of its blood) across the temple. If the drop remains too short, we'll just have to build a tower above ground to drop them from.
In retrospect, though, a spike would probably have been more efficient - but efficiency is never a primary goal in these projects, only a potential side effect.
Post by: Orange Wizard on February 11, 2013, 02:47:02 am
I'm also smoothing out and engraving a lot of the sacrificial chamber. Personally, I'd prefer it to end inside an adamantine spire, deep inside the SMR, but a microcline vein will have to suffice.
While this was progressing, a mason claimed his workshop. (?)
One of the children, As Astodkubuk, has grown up! She's now a goose!
Wait, what?
The mason has begun a mysterious construction, involving copper bars, rough gems, and malachite.
All steel crossbow bolts are being melted down, and the resultant bars will be used for the spikes in the Pitte.
We have 119 turkey eggs. Those turkeys are pretty busy.
Traders have arrived! Alright, let's trade! We have rock crafts to sell to our fellow dwarves!
And our dear mason has created Kubuk Raluk, a malachite table valued at 12000☼:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
A bucket is attacking! It's trying to steal our children!
Uh. OK, the bucket took one look at our manager and fled.
A bucket is attacking! It's also trying to steal our children!
This bucket distracted the masons working on my Ye Olde Towere of Sacrifice. Then fled. These buckets suck at stealing children.
Trade with the dwarves has begun. I gave them some flutes in exchange for their plump helmets and some seeds, but they were rapidly losing patience by the time I bartered four barrels of booze out of them... for 500☼ worth of crafts.
Every surface in the sacrificial room has been set for engraving. It's going to be pretty awesome when it's done.
And... that's it for now, unless I'm horribly mistaken.

Anyway, I should probably post an update, but that would require me to tear myself away from my wonderfully enjoyable physics homework and play a rather slow game of DF.

Wasn't blaming you, bro! I was more pointing out that when I first made the dorfinator, I used a list someone had put together to do it, but the list was far from complete and I wasn't about to dig through pages and pages looking for unfulfilled dorf requests. Self-service is way easier.

It seems that now with the illness of Saint it is time again for the rise of the miners. Though Armok is nice to worship, living in a military government under him is unpleasant. S(he) seemed to be happy with the change, and from the looks of the Log I found in the overseer's office, I have to assume that she needed the thrill of battle to get by.
First Things first, there were a good number of uninhabited bodies lying around, so I decided to handle the recovery of a number of souls. Krosan was missing, but I was able to recover a good number of Dwarves

9th Limestone, Year 252
We spotted a goblin snatcher. Before he could grab a vessel he ran away. Unfortunate, but inevitable.
(http://i.imgur.com/5Grbdq1.png)
15th Limestone, Year 252
I've noticed the surprising lack of a graveyard in the entire fortress. With the several bodies lying around, I don't want to take the risk that the souls we displaced returning to cause havoc.
(http://i.imgur.com/jv7jiYU.png)
This Temple dedicated to the local customs should satisfy the number of vessels who fail to understand the value of our possession of them. Of course, Possession is a bad term for it, seeing as they never deserved the body in the first place.
17th Limestone, Year 252
I noticed a minor issue with carpentry shop locations, and decided to design and dig out a more formal place for the jobs to be completed, along with a wood stockpile above for ease of access.

Make it impossible to escape from and put a minecart-repeating menacing spikes down there. That'll kill everything.
Unfortunately, I do not know how to make mine carts work, and Raptor died fairly fast before I could make an attempt. Anyway, on with the Update (I do understand Spikes)
Sandstone 9, 252
I've completed a sketch of my final solution to the mess that the housing section of the fortress
Spoiler: The Plans (click to show/hide)
Sandstone 23, 252
We had 7 new vessels arrive today. Looking through their skillsets, I've decided to bring two more individuals back from the Abyss.
Spoiler: The Mad Fool (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Aoshi (click to show/hide)
I'll admit, I'm not that enthusiastic about bringing the Old Doctor back into the fort, but better his somewhat skilled hands then the incompetence we could expect from that Bookkeeper AnimeRaytak. Aoshi was so enthusiastic to get his hands on a pick and begin mining he jumped into another vessel, and I can't complain about the additional help inside the mines.
Timber 1, 252
Raptor finally died of Melancholy from the failure early on in the fortress. I suspect the vessel is also involved, but I can't accomplish anything on purging it from this plane until I get the Temple of Miner ready. The vessel's child I also suspect will succumb, only being around 7 months old. At least we have other vessels to work with.
Timber 4, 252
We need to reinforce the Beacon. Shigshagor, some random shmuck, rushed through a quick pulse and seized the nearest vessel that he could find. The shock seems to have driven him even more mad, as he rushed to the nearest craftshop and begun taking whatever scraps he can find around the fortress. I guess will just tolerate him for now.
Spoiler: Shigshagor (click to show/hide)
Timber 10, 252
The Groundwork for the Temple of Miner has been completed. Having put the final touches myself, I can say that now all we need to do is actually install the coffins. Unfortunately, the few Masons we have operating seem more concerned with the completion of the Housing Chamber.
(http://i.imgur.com/CCmruO0.png)

I've seen good things in my time, and I can tell that this door is something special. I mean, look at it:
(http://i.imgur.com/6BSIJoL.png)
Also, I'm starting to get concerned with the general state of the stockpile efficiency at the moment, so I sent a order out for two sets of stockpiles that should improve the situation:
Spoiler: Stockpiles (click to show/hide)
A caravan arrived today from the mountainhomes, carrying goods that we will need to boost the stability of the fortress. Unfortunately, a kobold thought he could steal supplies from us
(http://i.imgur.com/yhypdoY.png)
Fortunately, we were able to dispatch of him in a timely manner before he escaped, in part due to the excellent shot from the Mad Fool, who disabled the Thief before he could get away.
Spoiler: The Failed Escape (click to show/hide)
Timber 20
Just as we were about to start negotiations with the Mountainhome, we spot another Kobold. He gets away before we can dispatch him.
(http://i.imgur.com/GBP8LwS.png)
after that minor incident, we began negotiations. Seeing that we only really lacked strong metal for armor and weapons, I ordered only those goods.
Spoiler: Demands to the Mountainhomes (click to show/hide)
Timber 25, 252
We finally finished formalizing paperwork for the next year. Our results make me optimistic on attracting more vessels next year.
Spoiler: Demands from the Mountainhomes (click to show/hide)
Moonstone 1, 252
(http://i.imgur.com/zHR709g.png)
The last few days have been uneventful. Though we completed the Mason and Smithy Stockpiles, we've only had moderate success with the development of the other stockpiles. On a lighter note, the Housing District is almost complete.
Spoiler: Situation Room on the Rooms (click to show/hide)
Anyway, I need to return to Scaliper to see how the trade negotiations are going. The slow speed that they are proceeding at is starting to make me wonder on his competency.
Anyway, in the next update, Krosan and Raptor will be reincarnated. Until then, Bulborb signing out.

My time in the Void has been very educational, and it has certainly given me new ideas. Unfortunately, adapting those ideas to static Physics in a geometrically three-dimensional space has proven...limiting. But perhaps I have merely been spoiled by my time away. No matter. I will apply what I can.
I confess to some nostalgia when looking upon this fort. It is so...new and untainted by the madness that seeped and soaked into our previous one. While I do miss the edifying conversation that Terry provided, I must say I do appreciate being able to work without the distractions of murderous wraiths and magma floods.

Random urge rises: doesn't the game autogenerate raws for procedural critters like clowns? if so, doesn't it also store raws for their syndromes?
Someone should totally secretly modify something random, like duck puke or cat blood, to produce the blistering syndrome from DG1 and not tell anyone. Just like I had actually set up Hidden spike traps in random corridors linked to civilian-enabled pressure plates in other random corridors in hopes that I could later hear someone screeching "WHY DID DORF DIE!?"

Developed a process designed to automatically suffocate and capture one of the only deep-sea creatures that isn't murderous, violent, or both in order to harvest their bones for high-value knickknacks
Envisioned a supersoldier program involving forcing a child to fight for its life for twelve years in a small cell filled with biting animals, completing with a baptism by fire to burn off as much body fat as possible in order to create walking masses of scar tissue and bone and hate
Colonized Hell in order to grow devilishly-sweet sweet pods, defending it against all comers at massive cost of life and limb until every fantastic race on the planet was more or less extinct and finally feeding our world into the maw of a chaos god

We had our first death of the season.
(http://i.imgur.com/5ulfKnk.png)
I guess I should be happy that it wasn't one of the more valuable vessels, but I have a feeling that this is a omen for things to come.
Moonstone 13, 252
Well, Saint finally did it. After bugging me for an indeterminate amount of time, she actually chose two vessels, dragged them to the beacon, and retrieved both Raptor and Krosan from the abyss. I decided to re-assign them both to a Marksdwarf Squad for the time being.
Spoiler: Krosan II (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Raptor II (click to show/hide)
We also had our second death this sad winter.
(http://i.imgur.com/HVI4gJX.png)
Though I must say, this one tastes significantly better, so probably good for everyone.
Moonstone 15, 252
We finished trading today with the merchants. Among our spoils was a significant amount of cheese and ale, some meat, and plump helmets. I also got a wheelbarrow, steel shield, and what seeds I thought we needed. I've detailed below the new stockpile numbers assembled by AnimeRaytak after the trade.
(http://i.imgur.com/gGEBFRh.png)
I am sure to get some more rum to satisfy the endless need of Saint. She deserves it after restoring the military (Though I disagree with the number of vessels serving openly)
Moonstone 16, 252
I walked into my quarters to discover that Malach had engraved a masterpiece.
(http://i.imgur.com/1lLkW2l.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/MyavMkf.png)
Personally, I see it as a final omen. Something will happen to Scaliper, and one day he will face a fate similar to that water buffalo earlier. I need to be careful.
Moonstone 19, 252
(http://i.imgur.com/hU7Zr6L.png)
The merchants from the mountainhome are now departing. Hopefully next year they can provide plenty of resources to aid the military.
Opal 20, 252
The Last month has been uneventful for the most part. I thought I should write that we have had a new vessel enter the world, though they are unsuitable right now for possession. I, of course, congradulated Thaddeus for granting the Fortress this boon.
(http://i.imgur.com/Qf4HqgM.png)
Obsidian 3, 252
(http://i.imgur.com/F2jYWit.png)
Xaren, not to be outdone by Thaddeus, has produced another vessel. It is satisfying that we have some sort of population growth. It seems that the Curse was all in my imagination (or we void creatures are immune to such petty actions). If it exists, it hit the orphan that we don't care about from Raptor's last vessel:
(http://i.imgur.com/90yJX8V.png)
Obsidian 12, 252
A vessel became a recluse from society today, and I don't expect him to do very well. It took me a moment to determine that he needed a leatherwork workshop, and I don't even know if we have leather to give him.

Obsidian 26, 252
OH VOID,
I was attacked by two ninja goblin marksman today, as I went out to see the progress of my massive deforestation plan. I've recreated the scene below.
(http://i.imgur.com/igRHgvV.png)
You can see them, right?
I've taken cover inside my quarters and ordered the military to deal with this menace. Hopefully they can solve the problem soon.
Granite 2, 253
I can't leave my quarters yet, I KNOW that they're still out there, waiting to assassinate my genius. We were fortunate in that it only slew a military squad vessel and her useless baby vessel.
I've left some notes in this journal, and soon plan to decide my new shadow ruler for Murdermachines. I have details on the current stock and population below.
(http://i.imgur.com/hxBLkU9.png)
on this note, we are fine. The amount of Booze we have is more than enough to last us a year
Further, I've left a sketch of the Housing complex below
(http://i.imgur.com/DMF0GRl.png)
Remember my inheritor: every one of those rooms needs a beds and doors.
Finally, I remind those who inherit to build the military to the greatest force we have. I feel that some great evil is coming.

Aside from that, yeah, I wouldn't worry about meticulously documenting every aspect of the dorfination and ensuring that everything is up to code. This is DF after all; pick a couple guys who need bodies when you do an update, drop 'em in, and either mark it on the dorfinator or post their names so I can do it. If someone dies either update the dorfinator or call it out; I don't mind at all to update the list with dead status and cause of death if you just make sure it's part of the update.
I hadn't intended on the dorfinator to be intimidating! Sorry bro.

Here's some names that I found on the list which don't appear to be on the Dorfinator as well. (axedwarf is used twice as a nickname rather than a profession, I'm wondering if one of these wasn't Prosnorkulus)
'axedwarf' (x2)
'Kalver Verin'
'Atomic Avocado' (yes I recognize the name, he just wasn't on the dorfinator)
Thorkild
I've updated the status of all names on the Dorfinator to be either "alive" or "undorfed" except in cases where we know we've had fatalities. I've also set up a sort so that it would automatically sort out living dwarves from dead/undorfed ones; founding members of the fort (the initial 7) are in bold italics for convenience. As of this moment, 5:16 EST, the dorfinator is current based on Slowpokez's screencaps.

Really?
In other words- They just killed Saint one of the previous overseer and the wife of the "soon to be overseer" aswell as their only son...
Fortunate...
Once the bloodshed was over the hills of Murdermachines went silent for a few moments, as if the land itself was mourning the horrible deed. But the invaders did not even get a chance to celebrate their victory because as quickly as the almost serene atmosphere had arrived it was instantly crushed by the roar of a single dwarf charging towards a certain death. Some say that it is difficult to differentiate between bravery and stupidity but I'd rather claim that they are one and the same, it all depends on the outcome. What drove the lone dwarf to act that day we may never know- Was it rage, a deathwish or perhaps fate? I guess in hindsight things like motivations or reasons doesn't matter as history will remain the same whether one is a hero blessed with the will of Armok or a rampaging lunatic.
The dwarf infront of them might've been a menacing sight for a lone goblin- bigger then most and with a desperate look on the verge of madness. But there was three of them, what could he possibly do? They grasped their filthy weapons firmly and assumed position to deal with the incoming threat. A moment of anticipation before copper struck iron, wills clashed and more blood spilled out over the the dense patches of sawgrass. The dwarf fought with the strength of a madman more resembealing a threataned animal then the axe-wielding warrior he still was but his valiant struggle did not matter as the greenskins with their superiority in numbers managed to crush his foot and force him down on the ground.
This is the point were one would think the story would come to an end, the expressions upon the goblins faces had already turned from a state of battle hardened focus into big grins of malice. It seemed as if they had won yet another battle, the victory was within their grasp...all they had to do was to reach out and grab it. There was a moment of hesitation, not because they felt pity for him nor because they were afraid. Simply because they felt such satisfaction looking down upon their defeated foe as he took his last trembling breaths.
Just as the final blow was about to be delivered Prosnorkulus rekindled his will to fight and rose to his feet, the goblins what caught by surprise and as the their enemy now towered up above them they were put in a state of chock by the ferocity of the axedwarf. Slaughter commenced and the ambushers soon found themselves being mutilated much like they had mutilated their victims, perhaps one would call it justice? Justice can be a cruel thing.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Meanwhile Prosnorkulus is going insane from grief but not a single tear is shed as his simple mind could never comprehend emotions to such an extent that it would trigger a sensible reaction, instead he tackles this new and confusing feeling in the only way he can think of...fistfighting

Migrants, migrants and yet more migrants. Where do they all come from!? Why is there so many migrants!? Seems like there is another wave every month...sigh...
And not to talk about all the freaking children, such a useless waste of fine booze...
I could make update after update on all the fucking migrants but I guess this sums it up pretty well...
Ah welll, otherwise things are proceeding fairly smoothly, miners are mining and masons are building and so forth. Even manage to get our pityful military into decent shape, think I got all soldiers dwarfed. Things were going eerily well...
Wtf is that thing!? A voidspawn? Well at least it appears to be unarmed but for a single silkbag, guess it's here to snach children like the buckets. I decided not to take any risks as my knowledge of there creatures were limited to say the least, the entire military force of Murdermachines were sent into battle. At this point I still felt as if I was on top of the situation...
But then...the killing began. Before the military managed to reach it's target it had already started killing heaps of innocent civilians, beating them to death with a sack woven out of the softest of silk. The entire situation was just absurd...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
But the creature did not fall...nor did it flee the field. Instead it raised it's bloodcovered bag and faced my hoardes of proud dwarves. Before I knew it soldier after soldier fell to it's neverendng hatred, I tried to organize them to give them a further edge upon the advantages of numbers and gear which they already possessed. But to no avail...
When the beast finally drew it's last breath it did not fall upon the ground but the piles of dead dwarves whom had lost their lives in the fight. I was wrong to call it a victory...today was a of grief.
But the our sad story does not end there, the overseer Prosnorkulus had now not only lost his family but also his only friend. The bloodspill had not yet ended. The leader, the hero the legend had reached his limit. No longer could he accept the bitter fate of this harch world. The death of Derm made him do the unthinkable...it drove him to take his life.
However a leader is always a leader. Even in death. On that day many others followed his example...amongst them one of Murdermachines proudest warriors- Dortimus.
The recemt events had not only crushed the outposts military might but also it's spirit and leadership. The residents of the fort whom had survived could not move on, their souls were lost and their hearts were broken. Even though they had given up on the present they still had a sliver of hope for the future...
They sealed off the fort to one day be reopened upon the arrival of a new leader which could once again guide them onto the path of tomorrow.
They had no connection to the outside world and as sad as that might seem it might've been a fateful stroke of luck. For not many days after the closing of Murdermachines gate dark horrors emerged on the horizon and soon the land was filled with greenskins aswell as voidspawns.
Seven days after the events that had cost Murdermachines it's life and it's pride the smith Tomio made an artifact.

__________________________________________________________________________
Part III -Delusional ramblings
Uhmm....During the second part of my turn I was high is fuck so the gamenotes were...lacking to say the least.
I'll write down what I can salvage from this list of nonsense-
Have to cancel construction as dappercat decides to sleep on the roof together with his Peacock, for some reason Dapper’s name is “Futurewhipped” and he calls his peacock Lord something. What can I say? They have a complicated relationship.
Liason getting fucked by voidspawn. Traders getting fucked by Voidspawn. Hamstermen getting fucked by voidspawn. Migrants getting fucked by voidspawn. Everyone getting fucked by Voidspawn.
Some problems with logistics- made nest boxes instead of pots. Blame voidspwawn distractions
Iron spear artifact.
The end.
I'm sorry about the pityful state my turn ended up in but I wish the next overseer the best of luck.

Oh god the voidspawn wasn't even WIELDING the bag. No, he killed all these dwarves with a donkey-slapping sheep wool shoe. His first kill was barehanded though, I think he stole some poor bastard's shoe and cloak and used them as weapons of murder.

Experimental subject 56-142A:
Initial grafting of replacement limb successful, and rejection was successfully prevented. Unfortunately, the virus I used to suppress his immune response also caused him to gain four times his weight in tumor cells within six days. Results promising.
On a personal note, subject 56-142A has repeatedly requested me to let him die. Since he has been so insistent upon the matter, I have decided to be reasonable and fulfilled his request. After all, seeing as how he lacks three of his five senses and can no longer move, his usefulness to me as a test subject is somewhat limited in any case.
On to less important matters. The fortress had a...visitor yesterday. A creature of the void, and they are every bit as impolite as I remember them. Fascinatingly, the creature used its long, powerful arms to accelerate its blows, permitting it to deal grievous injury even with a shoe. Unfortunately, learning its properties in Euclidean space required the sacrifice of several vessels. An unfortunate necessity, but the trade-off will probably be worth it. We now have its body, and I have put in a request to examine it. We may yet learn much from this creature's remains.
In the meanwhile, I have begun preparing subjects 56-142B and 15-142C for the same treatment, so as to confirm my results. I wonder if we couldn't tap the uncontrolled tumor growth as a food source....

My very first turn on a succession fort, ever, was really late in Deathgate's life cycle. I accidentally breached our hellbunker twice, built a machine to automatically breed and deploy ducks INTO HELL, and wound up losing something like a third of our fort's population in a time when the fort had outlived the entirety of dwarven civilization and was no longer receiving migrants. I spent a good hour just figuring out how things were laid out and halfway through my year was still finding half-finished buildings, chambers, and such and boggling over what use they may have had. Demons breached the fort twice, melted all the silver furniture in a previous overseer's hell bedroom, infected the entire fort population with blistering demon sickness, and torched our hell booze stockpile. And several military dwarves died, too, but that's about par for the course for Deathgate.
Short of a voidspawn ambush party getting through the gates and beelining for the stockroom containing the fort's entire supply of food, drink, and cuddly puppies, there's not a lot you can do to raise the bar.
Except for the guy after me, who let Tiny Tim get killed, of course.

This is correct. The syndrome has a long timer so it only affects the victim after combat has ended.

We will build expansive ballista batteries. It's grossly inefficient, difficult to set up and more likely than not to end up in multiple friendly casualties. It's the dwarven way.
We did ballistae before. So long as we're not up against deer, we'll be fine.
Also, about friendly fire. If it kills the infected, so much the better!

@peregarrett: In this world, WE are the bogeymen. I mean, we crawl in from the void, possessing people and make them die horribly. Voidspawn are boogey-boogemen. Quadratic boogeys, if you will.
Or tragically misunderstood champions of the light, here to bring us to justice.

Journal of Peregarrette, posessed metalcrafter
Sometimes the experience you ever had just can't settle in your soul. I escaped from The Void and posessed some metalcrafter with intention to live dull life of ordinary dwarf. But what should I do when the universe got shattered and The Void itself stares from the cracks? Don't know. Will try to fix the universe, maybe.
First of all, there were strange talkings about buckets and gobbos. Like, gobbos are buckets and buckets are gobbos. So, while I was on break, I performed a master-class: "A Goblin and A Bucket. What's the difference? What's the use?"
I took a gobbo corpse from surface stockpile and a spare bucket. Put both on the table, and spent a whole hour or two in constant speech and demonstration.
Main points of that were:
- Buckets are made from wood or metal. Gobbos are from flesh and blood and bones.
- Buckets are hollow and have a handle. Gobbos lack handle and usually full inside. No, lil'girl, THAT is not the handle. Your mom will explain you what it is. Later.
- When a baby runs with bucket on his head - it's not the same when gobbo runs with your baby in the bag.
- When you build a well - don't tie a gobbo to the chain. Ok, you actually CAN tie a gobbo to the chain and dip him into well, but that's more the zoo than the well.
- When yuo need something to store water or something - choose bucket. Yes, you can fill a gobbo with water, but you'd never want to drink from him.
- When you kick the gobbo - it's not the same when you kick the bucket. Though, sometimes, those phrases are equivalent.
- More to discuss.
After I was done with that, I think everyone was quite clear about gobbos and buckets. So, I returned the bloated gurgling gobbo corpse with metal handle nailed to it's head back to refuse pile, and got myself a drink.
After, I took a quick tour here. I've certanly missed a lot while was full-day busy with my work. I need to look wider.
For example, why is the Cat Drop Shaft so narrow? A cat falling can greatly slow itself with it's paws and claws. I hate that sound! So, let's dig it wider.
Why are we locked inside here, and no traps are guarding our entrance?
Why are we digging such a huge section?
Why don't we dig down to magma, using coal for furnaces instead?
Why does our military consist of 4 squads with 7 dwarves total?
Why do we have a stockpile full of nestboxes?
Why Aslod is trading at the EMPTY DEPOT?!?!?!
(http://imageshack.us/a/img802/9436/tradewithnoone.png)
Those questions are driving me mad.
Just we lowered the gate, everyone run for socks left outside. And met kobold ambush. Shit.

My only qualm with the new layout is that it's unsortable as-is. Can we have the forum name repeat on each line instance of the dorf rather than using merged cells? It'll look a little messier, but then the spreadsheet sort function won't be broken.
It seems small, but I found it a huuuuuuge help when trying to sort out the deaders/undorfed from the living.
Post by: peregarrett on March 27, 2013, 09:32:34 am
Hmm...Ah, that's what you use sort for. Couldn't come up with why would you need to sort dorfs by any of columns, but you have the point.

Yeah, it's stupid helpful when needing to find a specific dorf (if they don't match the host name, which most don't) or when trying to sort out by status. Being able to look at a list of exclusively live dwarves, for example, is helpful when someone posts a list of deaders that need updated. And I'm sure that being able to look at a list of exclusively undorfed dwarves will be helpful when people are performing redorfs.

There are dwarf bodies outside? Bring them into stockpile. Just BODIES! Leave socks alone!
Trap entrance is not trapped enough. Fill it with cage traps!
Everyone now - GO!
Problem of Aslod trading with invisible traders was solved. I played that game a bit - came down speaking with invisible Guild representative, shoke his invisible hand, wished to invisible traders good luck in their travel, showed them the way out. Aslod nodded and went on his buisness.

To arms everyone!
Titan sauropod is dead, with the cost of some marksdwarf who went fighting bare-handed, with her baby on her back. Both died.
Final blow that finished the beast belongs to Baelor the Malevolent. His kill count now consists of - voidspawn thief, a donkey and sauropod titan. Good job!
And we discovered two caverns. Second is infested with olm men.
We've discovered third cavern. There's adamantine spire arising from cavern lake! Hooray!
We dug a bit deeper and foun magma sea, and another spire. That's great! Free plumphelmet wine for everyone!
Castle rebiulding goes on. We've finished a pepperbox where three ballistas will be set, and a curvy path around traps for caravan wagons.
Elk birds invasion from caverns caused some chaos, but no real harm were done. I ordered the stome door to be set there, so no more wild animals here.
Blade, the Drill Sergeant is on his training duty next to the gates. Unfortunatey, there are very few armor left. When we set magma industry, it has to change!

You spend four hours getting the dorf list completely tidy and up to date, and then before your turn is over have two voidspawn lashers inside the walls. I will be soundly surprised if this doesn't result with either our survivors holed up deep below the surface (do voidspawn building destroy?) or a fortress reclaim.
Post by: peregarrett on March 30, 2013, 12:23:58 pm
But we lost a few dwarves. An axedwarf Ducim Regorshar who was on duty at the baracks, Voiceinthefan The Rescue Toaster who was the first to react to siren - both died. Also Puff the Stonewhisperer got severe injures. And Thikut, baby of Puff and Voices got leg broken and unlikely to survive.
This should never repeat! Miners, when the fuck you finish magma tank?!
EDIT. Oops, I was wrong. they haven't left, they just regrouped. And their leader wasn't the one who we killed - there are master swordsman among them.
((AnimaRytak, they all come naked and unarmed. Not if I objected, but is it intentional?))
They just killed Krosan III, and we all stationed inside the walls waiting for them. I ordered the bridge to be raised, but then another lasher ran in and we charged. The bastard grabbed Tekkud - that hopeless idiot who tried to feed the dead rabbit - and then some one finally pulled the lever. Bridge raised crushing the voidspawn and locking Tekkud outside.

I'm actually fond of the idea of the voidspawn not innately wielding weapons. They clearly have weapons skill; will they grab weapons as they score kills?

Never mind.
Anyways, drones are actually suppose to fight nude, or at least without weapons. Warriors, Patriarchs, and Overlords are suppose to wield up to four weapons in each of their arms.
They have four.
Also they should wear steel.

One kill to Rokenzan! The music begins to play!Your dorf applied old anti-vampire techique in a modern way. A wooden stick straight in the head! And it worked.
Also, Maxwell Edison was REALLY unlucky.

And Aoshi burned himself when was filing the magma tank. Only his copper pick remained.
You know what's the most disturbing? Elves brought NO WOOD!!!
Having the emergency situation, I made harsh but necessary decision. We took all wooden armor rfom elves and will wear it till our magma works are out.
Also we took whatever seemed useful. Elves spoke nothing - they saw the battle between Maxwel and Baelor and were very impressed.

Meanwhile, miners are sent for precious blue metal...

Can the demons be used to the kill any voidspawn? Or vice versa?I guess it's true: When a Bay12 member encounters a problem he'll just use it to solve another one. Or kill something.

Actually, because of how the syndrome works, voidspawn thralls actually stop being whatever they used to be and transform into an undead dwarf clone.

You see, sometimes you ocassionally get giant things.
As for domestic animals, we have a lot of dogs. And puppies are constantly popping out.
It's winter now. Siege was lifted, human merchants let out. The Arena is dug, but not completed yet.
Just when we tried to pit one of crowgirls (they are flying, so we failed), we got this:

Here are the main points of our current fortress.
The magmaworks:

The Arena:
(http://imageshack.us/a/img820/5890/arenahg.png)
(http://imageshack.us/a/img138/9714/arena2j.png)
Why it's ass-shaped? Just because.
The "asshole" moat should be filled with magma, and we're working on the piston pump to get it there. Not finished yet.
The temple and The Drop:
(http://imageshack.us/a/img40/64/templexb.png)

To drop an annoying citizen just recruit him to the Special Force Squad and station there. Then pull the lever.
Cavern animals trap:

Giant Cave Spiders would be very useful if we want to capture some Voidspawns.
The main level:

The workzone:

The surface:

The save: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=7536
Good luck anyone. Haven\t redorfed anyone, but updated current statuses in Dorfinator.
TODO list for next guy:
- Improve The Arena with magma moat, traps, baits, cleaning system and so on. Also, a Voidspawn part requres access to the surface, so they can reach the Arena.
- Steel-clad military. Now it's armed with iron weapons, and iron armor is queued for smiths. Also, adamantine production isn't set up yet.
- Shooting ranges and more archers.
- Ballista battery and more traps. Upright spikes are only that works against Voidpawn. Or Webtraps. Or shoguns.
- Mayor quarters.
- Replace wooden walls with rock blocks! Traders bring their wood depending on how much wood logs we have, counting those that are uces as constructions. Cutting trees could be too dangerous.
- ? ? ? ?
- PROFIT!!!

Most of you probably know, but Age of Legends means that megabeast killing has reached a threshhold. Somewhere a beast or five have been slain.It must be snow quadruped beast that was killed by olm men. I guess whole world is frozen when the Fortress game is in progress, so no game-simulated adventurers killing beasts on the another world's edge.

Aha, that's how those bridges are supposed to work. I was curious what are they for. But they were walled already.
My basic idea was that there would be a convoluted three-dimensional maze (wagon-traversible), then the atom smasher hallway, then the militia itself on the off-chance anyone got through. Since voidspawn destroy buildings, I put a trench in front of the anchors of the bridges so they couldn't get to it. It was to be a marvel on the scale of the sacrificial pit - which also didn't work until now. I think I'm just incompetent when it comes to large bits of dwarven engineering.

I've made a look at the arena, the mayor's quarters, the surface, the temple, the GCS trap and whatever you left for me. I'll try to fix some of those in a while.
Granite 1, 255
Well, guess it's time to block all those open stairways in order to control flying FB invasions.
I've ordered the construction of some upward stairs in place of some U/D stairs.
I've quickly replaced the order for iron armor with steel armor.
As of the military, I've tried to make a different schedule so that more soldiers train at once. It's disturbing to see there're only 3 active military vessels.
(http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/299/screen001m.png)
I've ordered the construction of rock cabinets, seeing the utter mess that has been made of our living quarters.
Speaking about quarters, I've ordered the furnishing of our mayor's quarters and their engraving.
Granite 3, 255
(http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/1180/screen004ak.png)

The usual useless crap.
Slate 1, 255
Here's a summary of my first session:
Well, nothing special has happened.
I've done a small modification to the military schedule. After that a whole squad of several axedorfs went on duty.
The smiths have already started working on steel armor. I'm trying to get started with the steel industry.
The mayor's quarters are almost ready. I've furnished them, but they still don't satisfy the parasite, who is currently unhappy.
Tosid's mood was finished, she's now a legendary weaver, and she's on a repeated hematite smelting duty atm.
Jables and Ulborb have found a hematite vein and mined it.
I've replaced some wooden walls with rock block walls, though the job is not done yet.
I have yet to touch our ass-shaped arena and the magma piston.
No one has been dorfed as of yet, I'll try to do dorfings in my next session, probably after migrants arrive.

EDIT: Looking at it, I'm inspired to create this:
Overseer Uristbergh: Hello, Weaver. What's happening? Uh…we have sort of a problem here. Yeah. You apparently are not smelting hematite.
Weaver McGibbons: Oh, yeah. I'm sorry about that. I, I forgot.
Overseer Uristbergh: Mmmm...yeah. You see, not doing any clothmaking around here. We are smelting hematite. Did you see the memo about this?
Weaver McGibbons: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I have the memo right here. I just uh...forgot. But, uh, we already have a lot of iron, so there's no problem.
Overseer Uristbergh: Yeah. If you could just go ahead and make sure you do that from now on, that will be great. And uh, I'll go ahead and make sure you get another copy of that memo. Mmmkay? Bye bye, Weaver.
Weaver McGibbons: No, I...I have the memo. I've got it. It's right...
[Uristbergh isn't listening and walks away from Weaver's smelter]
*later*
[Weaver tries to shut the smelter down to leave early to avoid Uristbergh but he's too late]
Overseer Uristbergh: Hello Weaver. What's happening? Um, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in tomorrow. So if you could be here around forever, that would be great. Mmmkay?
[he starts to walk away]
Overseer Uristbergh: Oh, oh, and I almost forgot. Uh, I'm also gonna need you to go ahead and come in when you are on break too. Okay? We, uh, lost some dwarves to an !!unfortunate accident!! and uh, we need to sorta catch up. Thanks.

We have MAGNETITE! Who needs hematite? Only those who really like to grind in worthless stone in order to find iron ore.
Ah, just as I was screening it I noticed that we have a giant bat invader in our fortress! Time to bring the military.
(Un)Forunately, two seconds of unpausing were enough to see a giant bat carcass lying in the stairwell and no dwarf was injured.

Seems we have no SIEGE WORKSHOP! I've ordered the construction of two of those so I can place some ballistae behind the entrance.

Guess I'll end my second session here.
From Slate 1 till now, the rock walls are almost finished.
The Mayor's quarters are done.
I've changed the squads' schedules and they should be much more active.
Added a hammerdorf squad.
I've placed cabinets in cluttered bedrooms.
Expanded existing finished goods and booze stockpiles, added furniture stockpile.
Vendix is now "Missing" in the unit list. I assume she starved to death.
I've started the first step towards ballistae: siege workshops. The workshops are done, now to the next step: Ballista parts.
Migrants have arrived. Almost everyone has been dorfed. I've made sure to
We have a dogsplosion.

But what do we do with our thrall army after the clowns are dead? If they convert the demons, we'd end up with another, worse problem than before - and I have absolutely no faith in the possibility of a scenario where the voidspawn fight the demons mano-a-mano and lose after inflicting enough casualties for our untrained immigrant militia to finish them off (i.e. the ideal scenario)

The hopeless dehydrated vessel couldn't stand a chance. All other vessels are distracted with hauling tasks.
Vendix is, unfortunately, definitely dead.
Felsite 17, 225
Several elven and goblin vessels have arrived. One of the goblins was caged, the other wounded a cat and fled.
I hope the elves have brought wood.
Well, they have a little wood, only 21 logs.
Great, now we have 21 more wood in exchange for some bone-decorated iron flute and three gizzard stones.
Now thanks to our dwarves dumping all this worn cloth we have a giant wild boar at the guard post in place of that useless bunny.

I've ordered the active squads to do the kill.
Dappercat was placing a trap to protect us. He's now nauseous.

Killing blows have been made by San Diego, Eongaghnacta, and Puff.
Time to clean all this blood and go back to trapping the entrance.

The military is finally sparring and not doing demonstration showing how they dodge into the magma moat when attacked by voidspawn.

I think. I've NEVER tried to actually implement something like this, and shudder at the thought of trying to do it with a voidspawn siege actually present and accounted for.
Oh gods above we don't even have trained operators yet, do we? We should set up a catapult battery for training purposes and crosstrain a few dozen civvies for that. I bet you could implement a cool diamond-shaped battery that could bear in any direction to add weight of fire and to pump up civvie operation experience.

We've constructed a ramp so that the marksdwarves can access the shooting ranges more easy. One voidspawn drone advanced a few steps towards the gates.
More voidspawn started to walk towards the gate. Time to open the bridge and release the over 40-dwarf military force!
Turned out there's only 1 squad of them, but a huge one, of lashers. LASHERS! LAASHERS!!
(http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/718/screen039v.png)
And skilled ones too! Time to quickly get the marksdwarves ready.
I'm currently trying to pull the lever and open the bridge. Now to bring the soldiers!
The first Voidspawn thrall has entered! Killing order is urgent!
The soldiers were currently fighting two Voidspawn. One of them attacked a speardwarf, who is now bleeding.
Spoiler: Scribbles the Chronicler must be badass at defending against attacks (click to show/hide)
Galena 14, 225
(http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/4663/screen041.png)
Two Voidspawn corpses are now lying on the grass of Murdermachines. But that's only the start of the fight. There are exactly 13 voidspawn to be killed as of yet.
The killing blows were landed, as it appears, by Peregarrette and, strangely, Saint, even though the marksdwarf squad was a bit late for the fight.
We've spotted a third voidspawn and quickly went to kill it.
That one was killed by the Voidbane Rokenzan, who already had a voidspawn kill. Now it has been made two.
That third voidspawn hasn't landed anything more severe than a bruise on our soldiers.
Now the (voidspawn) squad leader has advanced into battle. Accompanied by a drone, both advanced into the gate in vain (?) enraged, followed by 10 (!) voidspawn thralls, drones and soldiers.
I was surprised by the overly-good functioning of our military. They were just... Hitting the leader and the drone as if they're both dummies! No injuries, just a few bruises. No torn arteries, no vomiting!
Oh no, here comes the pain.
(http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/8715/screen042p.png)
Rokozan, the Voidbane and Mad is not showing consciousness!
If I view the grass, it shows dwarf blood as well as abyssal taint and old gobbo blood.
No, the leader isn't dead yet.
I've ordered the entire militia stationed. Hopefully they'll come instead of drinking booze all the time near the barracks.
(http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/7645/screen043q.png)
The sadness. The madness. The Terry! We have had enough of you, Terry! Better f**k off for now, at least in a situation such as a voidspawn siege!
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/2190/screen044i.png)
Stupid masochist dwarves. All those deaths... sadden me.
On the bright side, we've finally managed to kill a fourth Voidspawn.
(http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/4183/screen045v.png)
That's just another baby dwarf who has bled to death here.
No need to worry too much, more soldiers coming now!
Aoshi II, Rocker has been struck down. So the dwarf:voidspawn kill count is 4:5. That means we actually have a chance to win against them. (The 5th voidspawn was killed just recently.)
Maxwell Edison II has been killed as well. Poor dwarves.
Galena 15, 225
Wow, those Voidspawn Drones seem so badass, looking at the combat reports of them, I can see almost all text is red, no blue. Barely any blue, only red.
Oh no, Oryx has been struck down! Erush the Pot Thrower and Prosnorkulus III have been killed as well.Tryrar has been struck down as well.
Time to pull the lever, close the drawbridge, let the soldiers in, and let the voidspawn out till it's too late.
After thinking of this, Thaddeus III has been struck down. But one thing made me happy.
(http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/5642/screen046j.png)
A caged voidspawn! Now we will have a much easier time in getting voidspawn into the arena!
Great, now that we've closed the bridge, the only fight is between voidspawn and marksdwarves. How can the former win if they can't even touch the latter?
Oh no, I was proven wrong. Brokenmind the Axedwarf has suffocated. Poor Brokenmind.
:O It turned that there is one unkillable voidspawn soldier at the barracks the remaining soldiers are currently fighting. Tyler Durden has died to it.

I've decided to resort to Plan B. We've had a construction removed and granted the marksdwarves access to previously inaccessible walkways. Now I just hope they'll be able to shoot them to death.
Galena 22, 225
All marksdwarves went to station, after a wall was removed by some cowardly child.
Turned out their quivers don't even have bolts inside!
I've tried to get a few new soldiers and have them equipped.
Galena 26, 225
Now, all military stationed at the barracks! Just making sure everyone is there.
The first voidspawn thrall has started making its way towards the gate.
And stay dead, abomination!
Another one went in.
What? Mr SpaceCat II has been struck down.
Galena 28, 225
And another abomination is dead. Autumn is near. Let's just get the others dead before it's time for the migrant wave and the dwarven traders.

Not like true Voidspawn aren't deadly enough to rip through us even if we do buzzsaw the thralls into paste. Man, and this was a small siege!
We have GOT to pull off the demon/void showdown. It's a must.

Now, for updates:
Limestone 2, 225
(http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/6506/screen048w.png)
"Dwarves in, Voidspawn out!" Some random injured soldier could be heard from outside.
The voidspawn squad leader, along with two terrified thralls (thralls can be terrified?), are now heading away from the rum-soaked grounds of Murdermachines into the wilderness beyond.
You can be happy now, dwarves. A lot of voidspawn corpses are lying on the trapway. Masons, all those active "Place Item in Tomb" jobs are a good sign. A sign that your skills will last slightly longer before rusting into nothing. Same for you, the Mad Fool, Medkit and your team. All those injured dwarves we've got here will prevent your doctor skills from rusting.
Time to remove the civilian alert and expand our Crypt by a little.
Limestone 5, 225
WTF? What do you want from us Terry?
(http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/3858/screen049e.png)
That remove constructions bug is freakin' hilarious.
Well, guess it's time to reconstruct the military.
I've got two new marksdwarves for the marksdwarf squad.
A huge shame I've had to disband the Treaties of Spirit (?) which had only 3 living vessels.
I've put the 3 with the Geared Apexes, the primarily-axedwarf melee squad.
I've changed the squad schedule according to the vessel loss so that they actually train.
Limestone 25, 225
Nothing special has happened recently.
Malach is currently making some masterful engravings at the Arena.
Jables and Ulborb are currently mining out my secret project, which will only be revealed to the next overseer when I'll pass the torch to them.
I've ordered a traction bench for a military vessel with a broken bone.
The caged voidspawn has been moved to the prisoner stockpile, Soon I'll move the cage to the arena once it's engraved.
Here are some masterful engraving by Malach, that all the Voidspawn and Hellspawn will get to see once it's the time to fight:

A new block stockpile and some booze were both in need, so I've ordered those.
The trees are getting yellow. Prepare for migrants soon!
I'm currently struggling with the construction of the pumps. It takes Ulborb a lot of time to haul all the pump components to the magma level.
Sandstone 8, 225
Turned out that, after four years of tattered clothing, we have no clothing industry!
Time to order:
Make cloth robe/R (Saint should have the option to hide her female-ness just like Anima does.)
Make cloth trousers/R
Male cloth socks/R (Everyone knows dwarves love sox.)
Now I just hope a clothier will appear and do the job.
Sandstone 16, 225
(http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/2570/screen054z.png)
That bedridden dwarf has a mood! Strange, I have to say.
The dwarf has just woke up form her sleep and crawled down to the magma forge.
Good Terry, good. You've made an injured dwarf crawl all the way down to the magma forges with a broken hip. And hopefully become legendary at her profession.
Sandstone 22, 225
"Ahh, no migrants." Aslod heard a familiar voice cry from the corridor.
He couldn't remember whose voice was that, but it was very familiar.
Meanwhile, the moody disabled blacksmith was at the third cavern lair, making her way down.
Sandstone 23, 225
(http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/2730/screen055.png)
I guessed right. Probably something to do with metal furniture.
So many moods in my turn...
Sandstone 27, 225
*sad piano*
(http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/6359/screen056w.png)
The dwarves don't care for their dehydrating fellows. What a shame! I've always thought of dwarves as extremely selfless creatures, so selfless that they travel miles to bring that single copper bar to the appropriate stockpile. Well, I'm sometimes proven wrong.

TWO sieges in my turn? I feel so (un)lucky!
This time goblins, with war jabberers, one giant cave swallow and the General! (who has a dwarven name actually)
Fortunately no lashers or marksgoblins.
At least, unlike voidspawn, the goblins should be much less tough and should be caught in our cage traps. But there're MORE of them.
Time to prepare the still-recovering military and set the civilian alert as "Lockdown". Good luck!

Two goblin squads are currently heading towards the gate, unmounted. Let's just hope they'll get caught in our cage traps, and we will be able to leave the rest of the killing job for the military.
Oh no, it seems the goblins killed one suicidal marksdwarf! Time to pull the level back and leave the fort closed for a while.
Meanwhile, two goblins managed to enter the fort. One dwarven baby has bled to death.
Timber 24, 225
I've managed to finally get my hand on the ballistae.
Set for Prepare for Fire, I've managed to get in a siege operator, after a few fled in fear. The ballista arrow was fired at the trapline, which was full of goblins at the moment. Unforunately, the damage done was minimal.
Moonstone 1, 225
Oh, look at that!
(http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/5849/screen059dw.png)
Dozens of goblins, all of them in front of the gate! Time to get those ballistae occupied... and jabberers.
It also turned out that the furthest ballista is blocked by fortifications! Dig dig dig children!
Moonstone 9, 225
Now I understand what has happened.
(http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/3295/screen060c.png)
Their squad leader! The goblins prefer to stay
And now the dwarves refuse to load the ballistae because they constantly get interrupted. What a troublesome situation.
Time for some Ruthless Utility Mechanism, aka RUM! Cages are not enough. The spikes are not linked to anything yet. Dwarves run away just because they can see the goblins.
::)
Let's build a huge tower and dump stones from there! Meanwhile, the fortress can function normally. The goblins are only outside.
Throwing stones at goblins, lol.
Moonstone 13, 225
(http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/1588/screen061.png)
Wow. That dwarf impressed me. Disabled, but still working despite her broken hip.
Now, let's see what's in the workshop:
(http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/6174/screen062.png)
This and bronze bars. That would be great for AnimaRytak's quarters, and in getting more of both dwarven and goblin migrants. Too bad the base materials are so cheap.
Moonstone 14, 225
What's this at the tower I'm currently trying to erect? My Aslod?
Aslod kept yelling nonsense like "I can't do it" and "Sorry, sorry, can't do it". Those goblins. They stink far too far. What's worse is that you can't nerf them. The stench isn't even in the raws!
Moonstone 15, 225
"Noooo"
"I can't do it, I just can't!"
Moonstone 22, 225
That plan didn't work either. Guess we have to resort to Extremely Long Flow, aka ELF! My idea goes along these lines:
1. Open the voidspawn arena access in order to make the goblins flow away from the cage traps. (I hope this step will work)
2. Close the clash bridge at the arena so that the goblins don't get in
3. Get a flow of dwarves to haul all those goblin cages inside before the flow of goblins comes back. The squad leader's cage is top priority. The others are entirely optional.
4. Kill the leader.
5. ? ? ?
6. Profit.
Look! Feed stock for our captive Spawn! Release him and let him have his way with these invaders, and we can capture them later for the arena.Wait, 1 voidspawn vs. more than 50 goblins and jabberers. Won't the voidspawn just get killed? ???
Moonstone 25, 225
(http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/2936/screen063o.png)
Well, let's see it.

Well, I was sort of counting on the ballistae weakening them first. Guess that's not going to happen.
But recall that it was a single Voidspawn thief that decimated our army earlier with naught but a bag. We have a captive soldier, right? He'd probably bite a few before they mobbed him to death.

They do not. They do spread a lesser taint, one that causes illness and blisters. However they cannot make more thralls.
Post by: Chimpanzee on April 15, 2013, 08:57:48 am
They are currently walking towards the arena.
This might take a month as Deprislava is very slow at linking the clash bridge to a lever.
Opal 23, 255
I've renamed Deprislava's profession to "Time Waster". The reasoning behind is obvious to all.
Look, she is still linking the lever to the clash bridge!
Opal 26, 255
Finally, the lever is linked to the bridge. I've sent the miner team to open the voidspawn arena access (preferably shortened to VAA), and some jobless mechanic to pull the clash lever.
Opal 28, 255
(http://imageshack.us/a/img843/3460/screen065.png)
And yet another moody vessel.
Obsidian 2, 255
That is one of the really rare occassions when I enjoy FPS spikes.
The goblins, so many pathing goblins! The first step of my plan, ELF (Extremely Long Flow), is working!
An ELF of goblins, followed by jabberers, is now making its way towards the VAA and now towards the arena.
Obsidian 3, 255
(http://imageshack.us/a/img132/6512/screen066e.png)
Mason's? Thank you, useless farmer. The only person actually doing the rock cutting here is my Aslod, who is only adequate in masonry. Masonry is not his job! If you ask me, that is carpentry. He should make things out of wood and then try to sell them to the elves! Not work in stone like some weirdo.
(http://imageshack.us/a/img96/3656/screen067d.png)
(http://imageshack.us/a/img689/9079/screen068d.png)
Wow, that was a really quick and so non-Murdermachines-esque move. Here we tend to have very long jobs and moods, but the end result is nearly always so masterful that it becomes dizzying at first glance. Take Avalatol, the bronze weapon rack, for example.
(http://imageshack.us/a/img443/2439/screen069.png)
You, you just hauled a nearby granite to the workshop and that's it. Ah well, I can already visualize a statue made that way.
Obsidian 5, 255
Finally we started working on our plan (ELF).
We've got lots of goblins and jabberers to the arena. There are only 4 goblins on the cage traps remaining for the military to deal with.
All goblin cages are forbidden, except the squadleader's. I hope we will get a dwarf to haul that cage.
(http://imageshack.us/a/img805/5920/screen070.png)
Oh no! This is sad news. Saint was one of the most reliable military dwarves. All mourn the Templar of Armok, now.
There's only one bright side: Less rum will be drunk for the next season until Saint finds a new body.
But at least, those 4 goblins have finally been killed.
Now I just hope that the caged will be hauled inside.
Obsidian 7, 255
Our dwarves have failed to haul any cage back in. Now quick! Close the bridge before the jabberers come in!
(http://imageshack.us/a/img41/8213/screen071.png)
A floodgate! Too bad it's made of granite. If it were made out of a more interesting material, for example nether-cap or adamantine, I'd use it in order to prevent the magma pumping system from getting out of control.
(http://imageshack.us/a/img442/4803/screen072.png)
What a legend is Udil Urvadidok. Look at that masterpiece he has made with the help of naught but the tools the Mason's provides.
2400☼? Even raw adamantine can't beat that. Wow. And it's spiiiky! I love spiky things.
Obsidian 11, 255
We've pulled the lever again. Now all jabberers went to the caves. There was one squad of goblins and a few pikemen in front of our gate. I hope we can deal with that.
Obsidian 14, 255
We went to battle readily. Baelor battled them like a hero. The military went too far. Far enough to die to a squad of war jabberers and the General's squad. That masochism cost us mostly unclaimed military vessels, and Derm II, Scribbles and worst of all, Baelor. With seven kills and a title, rest in peace. You will be missed Baelor.
But, the surprise. What is going on here? Where are you going goblins?
Obsidian 15, 255
(http://imageshack.us/a/img715/9464/screen073.png)
Drawn away from our blood-soaked, corpse-cluttered trapway, I could see a goblin squad, and the jabberer squad running south of Murdermachines into the wilderness. Dortimus bled one last time before going back home. A significant number of dwarves, especially military, are unhappy.
The cowardly goblins have finally given up, after three months of useless tries to bring doom upon Deathgate II.
I'll try my best to add some finishing touches to my turn before it's Spring.
That should start with walling the VAA, and coffins. There are a lot of unburied dwarf corpses.
Obsidian 19, 255
(http://imageshack.us/a/img10/3275/screen074i.png)
The kobolds are attacking! Seven kobolds. Six spearbolds and one swordsbold. Bring what is now the military! Hopefully we can deal with those trap-avoiding thieves.
Oh no! Four kobolds cornered Puff. There was no one else nearby. Hopefully more soldiers will come help him.
More soldiers have come.
Obsidian 20, 255
Turned out that two kobolds have died. Great, only five kobolds left to kill.
Civilians are fleeing, more military are coming. Another kobold has been killed by Grau. Puff is still alive, fortunately. He decided to change profession to hammerdwarf in place of markdwarf. Puff, the Goblin and Voidspawn Basher and Stonewhisperer.
We turned out to be victorious. Part of the military chased away the remaining kobolds. Meanwhile, a kobold thief was spotted.
Another thief! The skulking filth doesn't deserve to live after the next season change.
A third thief!
Oh no! We've detected four kobold bowmen to the west of the gate! Blade, why are you still chasing the hopeless, cowardly kobold spearman? Time to kill some ranged opponents.
Obsidian 22, 255
(http://imageshack.us/a/img853/3407/screen075.png)
Guess we're done with our military needs for now. At least until Spring. The two thieves, the last time I checked, are running north into the wilderness. All they managed to get is one pig tail fiber dress.
The recent kobold invasion hasn't cost us many injuries. But the hospital will be full for sure.
Obsidian 23, 255
Well, thinking of the hospital, that's how it looks:
(http://imageshack.us/a/img191/9799/screen076v.png)
Just out of curiosity. Far less dwarves in there than I thought there would be.
Obsidian 27, 255
A wall has been placed in the VAA and now it's blocked. That means, if anyone wants to deal with an invasion using the method "ELF" they should send one of our miners (The best miners are Jables, Ulborb and Udil Urvadidok.) to open the VAA.
Obsidian 28, 255
(http://imageshack.us/a/img194/1338/screen077.png)
Another wereape! And that one's first name is Alu, just like the one that attacked back in Granite 252.
It went to attack a thresher that happened to be collecting some body parts of a dead soldier.
That poor, hopeless dwarf was killed.
Granite 1, 256
The wereape went to attack a dog that was the pet of the dead thresher. Nothing new as of now.
~--•--•--•--•--•--•--•--•--•--•--~
For the next overseer, sorry that I have left you with all that mess, and a wereape to deal with immediately on unpause.
I haven't posted the statistics of the fortress as of yet.
I'll make sure I have a post ready with the fortress statistics, important areas, notes and to-do list for my successor. And last but not least, the save.
I'll make sure that post is ready by tomorrow at most.
Also Anima, you may want to edit the OP to also include the 8th part of my journal (in the previous page, describing the start of the goblin siege), as well as this part. Just saying, since I've noticed that the 8th part is missing.

Not Urgent but Do Anyway
~ Add finishing touches to the arena i.e. magma moat.
~ Finish my secret project. It's half done currently. I'll send you a PM once you post your first update.

A naked voidspawn soldier with no skills can solo an elephant. They pretty much just fight more or less evenly until the voidspawn gets in a taint attack and enthralls the elephant. (In the arena, enthralling is broken in that the thralls are loyal to their original side and not the enthralling voidspawn)
A naked voidspawn soldier kept getting shoved into the flowing water by a giant. The giant managed to punt two individual soldiers consecutively into the water before the third murdered him.
A naked voidspawn soldier got obliterated by a great white shark. When I remembered to actually give it swimming skill, it actually managed to kill the shark.
So, yeah, a voidspawn can fight an elephant by itself. Naked and unarmed with no skills.

What if Voidspawn were somehow butcherable?
What if one of their products was a void-heart made of a modded metal?
What if we could collect void-hearts and forge voidsabers and voidplate for our military?
Would be badass.
I didn't do much testing with Overlord-level voidspawn, most of my testing was soldiers. Voidspawn soldiers definitely beat some major ass.
I also found that they're *highly* arrow-resistant for the most part. I tested a 5-voidspawn soldier squad (naked/unskilled) against competent arrow militia armed with iron crossbows and plenty of bolts, and it took like three ever-increasingly-large waves of crossbowdwarves to finally kill the voidspawn. I think we can definitely injure and slow them down with crossbow legions, but they're so damned resilient that I'm not thinking bow spam will save us unless we set up, say, an underground megabunker with every available civilian packing iron/steel bolts.
And we've seen what so much as a Drone can do once released among the beards, considering that a single snatcher was enough to score quite a few kills.
I think the scariest part, though, is that damned taint. It kicks in fast enough that anyone who just manages to stalemate a voidspawn is actually more of a threat to our military than someone who dies instantly on contact, since the voidspawn seem guaranteed to win any extended engagement just via the abyssal taint/eventual enthralling of the opponent.
Do thralls automatically spawn wearing the original dwarf's gear? Do they get the dwarf's skills? If A or B are true, then danger rooming recruits might be the exact worst thing we could do...

I spawned an Overlord into the arena with Grandmaster combat stats and full steel gear, to fight against dwarves wearing same.
The voidspawn overlord just won a 1v4 against Grandmaster axedwarves with steel gear.
When it started the fight with NO FREAKING ARMS.
Scratch that, a 1v6, both against axedwarves and speardwarves... then a 1v10 against wrestlers.
I finally, FINALLY, managed to kill it with a firing squad of like 15-20 steel-bolt-armed marksdwarves, so it appears that Voidspawn CAN be brought down by massed archers if they can focusfire. The problem is the voidspawn show up with a bunch of thralls and such, so... mass-shooting the overlord seems unlikely to work.
Guys, I'm genuinely scared now, these dudes are hardcore. My takeaway is that voidspawn basically should not be engaged in melee without superior numbers.

Going from that data, I'd say even superior numbers would be extremely iffy. On a good day. When everyone's awake and at peak performance. With micromanagement as heavy as possible. Basically, I'd say stick with magma bombs and webbed cage traps and stick one of those Overlords in the arena single-handedly to face down the demons.

- Build a multi-layer residential area with one communal dining hall. The rooms should be at least great quality. Stick a bunch of nest boxes and as many fowl as possible. It should be designed as to have as little contact with the main fortress as possible.
- Using burrows, confine 10 or so dwarven children, five male, five female, into this part of the fortress.
- Let the children grow up into adults and reproduce.Insert new breeding stock if needed.
- When sufficent numbers have been achieved, say, 100 adults, recruit 10 percent of the able bodied population into militia. They will have developed combat skills from their time in the- let's call it the incubator.
- Train draftees with live action combat practice.
- Continue yearly harvesting of soldiers and training.

Why not create a pseudo-pit bridge trap? Have them wall a rediculously long straight path, maybe 20 tiles or so, and place a pressure plate five steps in. By the time they file in, they've flipped the latch and are all trapped within a 1x20 firing field to be set upon by magma/archers/war giant mambas.No weaponised magma. FUN for the FUN god!

Minecart railgun as a wunderwaffe came up on some thread before the minecart update. I think the gist was that if you loaded molten objects into minecarts and then got them moving extremely fast, you could do massive damage to anything in the path of the cart.Wow, molten golden globs shotgun! Would it work if we first fill minecart with magma and then load it with golden crafts?

- Alu the Second is chilling in a pool of dwarven blood in front of our fort, playing 'fetch it' with one of our dogs. 'It' probably used to be attached to NRDL's body.
- Haven't unpaused the game yet, but it looks like a bunch of civilians are running straight into the battle to get some socks or something like that. Let's hope the arriving military doesn't kill Alu before it rips one or two of the haulers into pieces.
- If it wasn't for the blood, I'd say the aboveground fort is as colourful as a circus tent
- We have tons of dogs. Literally tons of them. And zero cats.
- We are open to flying intruders from the caves

Well, at least dogs are useful! We can put them in cages and create some kind of dog landmine - the enemy steps upon a pressure plate, and suddenly a hundred starving puppies have latched onto their joints and are nibbling their tender bits. Cats only eat FPS and occasionally vermins.

In the time before this place was driven into destruction by it's owners, in the time before our all doom was wrought from the depths of Murdermachines, Alu the Second layed his mahagony eyes on this fortress, just like his ancestor did years before. Driven by madness and his desire for revenge, the beast assumed it's true form and layed havoc to all who couldn't escape it's wrath. Many were slain and Alu's sandy taupe hair dripped of the blood of innocent and wraiths alike. What I am about to tell you us what the survivors saw and were willing to share with others of their kin. And even if some of it may sound unlikely, you must know that before they fell to the terrors of the void, the dwarves were a sturdy and though folk. They were unforgiving and unwilling to pay the ultimate price without tasting revenge first.
After Alu slayed the dwarf N'rd'l (the wraiths already caused the dwarves to assume names in their own tongues back then) it began to stagger into the direction of the forts entrance, where a piece of the wall had collapsed, which would have allowed the beast to bring carnage and destruction to the fortresses heart. It was a stroke of luck which made it hesitate and saved the fleeing dwarves: A loyal dog attacked the foul creature, knowing it could not stand against the brute. It's sacrifice allowed the remaining warriors to arrive in time. Krosan the marksdwarf, one of many who already fell to the void, was the first one to arrive. Empowered by Anima'Rytak's dark sorcery he attacked Alu. Some say he was out of ammunition that day, other say it was due to his bad mood that he decided not to fire any bolts, but all agree that he jumped at the creature and, with a horrible scream, bit the wereape in his face. Alu shook him off and forced the dwarf to fall back. Dodging all of the beast attacks, Krosan lured the creature right into the arms off a fellow swordsdwarf, who layed his fierce blows across the ape's whole body, planting his blade right into Alu's heart. But the cursed monster did not fall yet. Ignoring the incoming storm of blades Alu grabbed the swordsdwarf's arm, ripping it off completely. The beast began gnawing off the skin of the swordsdwarf's head, when suddenly the rest of the military arrived: A speardwarf and a hammerdwarf. Combining their strenght they made the monster tumble and fall and kept hitting the brute with their weapons at the same time, causing him many wounds. And they all were upon him. Spears, hammers and fists kept pushing the beast towards it's death, and even the swordsdwarf, knowing he would die from his wounds, sunk his theeth into Alu's skull. But unlike the dwarves, Alu feared death, and with a howl which still haunts the halls of Murdermachines, he shook off the dwarves from his body and ripped the swordsdwarf's foot and head off with his teeth. Now using his legs, Alu continued grabbing the other warriors with his legs, blocking their attacks until he shattered the speardwarves hips and head. The beast then kicked the hammerdwarf against a wall, knocking him unconcious.
Only one dwarf was left. Calling upon an ancient dwarven god, Krosan lept across the battlefield and, in a last effort to save his home, the dwarf bit the wereape in the face one more time. In that moment the moon disappeared at the horizon. Unable to hold his powers any longer, Alu reverted to his lesser form. 'TRAITOROUS, POINTY-EARED SCUM!' where the last words Alu heard before Krosan mashed his brain into a red mist.
There stood the victorious one.
Without a single scratch.
Braveness and madness sometimes are the same thing.[

The basic idea was that those bridges would get hooked up to a lever and come crashing down. It's an atom smasher, with the modification of a trench in front of the bridge's connection to the ground to keep building destroyers away (I have never made an atom-gate before and was unsure if that would be an issue). There are multiple bridges so we could maybe add a secondary mode where each bridge has a lever and we can have the dwarves drop and raise them in patterns for fun.
Also, the entrance into the fort from that hallway was going to get a drawbridge gate that would drop open with the smasher bridges so the enemies would be lured on top of the smashers and catapulted off into the distance when they tried to run through and the gates shot up. Increased length would be a bonus, and I had plans for a three-dimensional labyrinth filled with reciprocating spears to precede the gate, but I was running short on time even without resigning, so it was never implemented.

I saw that engraver strolling around the corridors in front of my bedroom at night. He moved really slowly and kept touching the walls as if he was looking for something. He kept mumbling ( or was it chanting? ) to himself until he stood right next to my door. When he saw me, he stopped and walked away into the dark as if nothing happened. I already heard of Malach's strange behaviour from others. Appereantly he keeps claiming pieces of smooth walls and floor for himself, screaming at and sometimes even fighting away other engravers.

18th of slate
The stupid beast fell in one of our cage traps. Nevermind.
22nd of Slate
The guards swear that there's a ghost in front of our gate. Fools, there's no such thing like ghosts. I ordered the construction of the microline invader-smasher to be continued. The aboveground fort is littered with corpses, the graveyard needs to be completed immediately.
2nd of Felsite
I walked by our animal and prisoner´stockpile next to the execution shaft to take a look at the minotaur, and appereantly there's a corpse in one of our cages
NOTE: 1) Open a zoo 2) Put minotaur into zoo 3) Demand money from those who want to see it 4)...? 5) Profit!
...
8th of Felsite
Some dwarves pulled me over into a dark corner today and asked me how work on 'the arena' was progressing. When I told them that I didn't know anything about an 'arena' they all went silent for a few seconds before unsheating their blades. 'You won't tell anybody 'bout this, understand?' one of them said. 'And we won't hurt you.'. 'Well, I'm not a curious dwarf anyways, so that's not a problem.'. Damned Thugs! I prohibited the export of bracelets, that'll show them!
11th of Felsite
I ordered an unused farm plot on the surface to be removed because it's in the way of the new constructions.
...
16th of Felsite
There's just to much body parts and scrap lying around at the surface. An smasher will be constructed at layer 93, so it'll be easier to get rid of unwanted stuff.
17th of Felsite
Goblins! Goblins everywhere! They are coming from everywhere!
(http://i.imgur.com/glMyNl5.png)
(OCC: There are almost two pages of invaders. Shit.)
...
23rd of Felsite
They are still fighting. Many died during the first wave, including Peregarrete. All of our soldiers are either dead or heavily wounded, except Krosan and Puff, who are currently chasing a troll stonecrafter right into the next wave of invaders.
Those cowards brought many trolls and two of the goblins are hammerlords .This is beyond hope, I'm sealing the fortress myself!
24th of Felsite
I saw Krosan kill two trolls without getting a single scratch. Then the next wave arrived. Puff just charged right into them, while Krosan was just standing there, staring at his death. I screamed 'RUN! YOU ARE NO LONGER BOUND TO YOUR SQUAD! YOU ARE THE LEADER OF THE MANLY RETREAT NOW! RUN!' He slowly turned around, smiling, and although he was far away and although spoke really silently, I understood what he said. 'Bullshit!'. He then ran after Puff, into the arms of death.
May Armok have mercy on his soul...
25th of Felsite.
Peregarette is dead. Dortimus and Blade are dead. Puff and Krosan are dead. This is a grim day for dwarfkind...

And so begins Deathgate III: The Search for Krosan.
NEVER RETREAT. NEVER SURRENDER. After headbutting a wereape to death and massacring those trolls, Krosan IV probably thought he could take the goblins by himself.
Clearly he could not.

- Constinue the curvy-trapped path further to the west - pave floor over that pond, surround it with walls and so on.
- Channel down next to ballista battery and make ramps there (looks like it goes right into finished goods stockpile, so some rebuilding should be made), ant then continue with long straight 3-tiles wide passage (can be surrounded with 1-tlie channels all along the way to collect ballista arrows that missed) with ballista battery at the turn. Repeat several times.
- Golden blobs shotgun somewhere in the middle. I think more realiable way to produce blobs is first load the minecart with golden toys and then submerge the (magma-safe) cart into magma. And then bring it to the launching position.

[Mayor Thikut Luritoslan's log, Summer 256]
4th of Hematite
We can hear their growls coming down the staircase every night. The goblins don't seem to get tired of laying siege to our fort and the trolls are to dumb to complain anyways. Inside the fort we are safe for now and we have enough food, farms and dogs to survive for a long time. But it can't go on like this. The masons announced the completition of the military quarters today. I will have to knock at every door, looking for volunteers for our new squads. Most of the old ones have been disbanded because of the many deaths are connected to them. Hopefully those who already have fighting experience and aren't essential to any other aspects of the fort will join the military. We are running low on haulers though and it doesn't look like we are going to get some living migrants with all those greenskins in front of our gate.
5th of Hematite
The only skilled 'soldiers' Murdermachines can provide are two siege operators who aren't even brave enough to move in sight of the enemy and some marksdwarves. Looks like the military will have to be rebuild from scratch. Somebody moved Lovedthruths, the artifact weapon rack down to the military quarters already. It's time to set up the dangerrooms.
9th of Hematite
Malach, the engraver seemed really happy today. He was jumping around, screaming that he 'has finished it'. Finished what? Weird guy. He spent to much time getting chased by the hamsterwoman.
13th of Hematite
(http://i.imgur.com/BIfbXeZ.png)
The 'child survivor' Thikut (beatiful name if you ask me) started his strange mood today. Let's hope he can cheer us up a bit.
22nd of Hematite
Finally, the construction of the graveyard has begun. Our hospital is almost empty. If it weren't for the invaders, it would be a wonderful day. Even the hamsterwoman finally decided to die. I swear, Malach was crying tears of joy. I think.
...
10th of Malachite
I ordered the construction of ballistae inside the new shooting range. Young Thikut has finally begun his construction inside a craftsdwarf's workshop. Amazing what 3-year-olds are capable of nowadays. Work on cleaning up the aboveground fort is going well. The graveyard is almost finished and we already got some corpses down there.
18th of Malachite
Thikut finished his scepter today! It's worthy of a mighty dwarven king.

27th of Malachite
I have it! Why not just build a looooong hallway full of cage traps and lure those greenskins in there?
28th of Malachite
I'm feeling... weird. It's like I'm being watched all the time... I needed to cheer up the citizens, so I placed the minotaur in the new dining room area. I should put up a few tables and chairs there too. Somebody also requested one of the captured crow girls to be put into the dark room in the middle of the living quarter no one uses. Weird people.

11th of Galena
I looked through AnimaRytak's notes today. We have a total of almost 1000 eggs! We need a kitchen, now!

It's a miracle! A human caravan showed up next to our fort today. They must have seen the goblins, because they turned on their heels the next second and ran away. And the greenskins are leaving with them! But we won't open our gates yet, in case the voidspawn returns...

I had an idea today. What if the day comes that we can't hold of the enemy at our gates? What if we will be forced to return to the depths our ancestors were wrought from? We need to prepare. It's probably a waste of time digging out those rooms but who cares? I'm the mayor after all and the miners have nothing to do anyways. Rooms with enough space for a dining hall, farms and hospitals will be dug out on layer one. Together with a tomb and a bunker for myself of course.

I went down to the military quarters down today. The siege operators are training properly. I got myself some mechanismsand connected the rest of the upright spear trap to the lever. The next moment the squad showed up. Pushing me aside, they went into the dangerroom and immediately started training. They all had something weird about themselves... Although they clearly never had to use a weapon in their entire live and their physical shape was terrible they moved like they were experts. Except one. I only recognized Malach the second before he almost smashed my head with a huge warhammer. His purple eyes glared at me below an oversized steel helmet his mouth shaped to a grin. 'S'rry, I slipped' he said, then he proceeded hammering an engraving into the wall above my head. Fuck you Malach.

IT'S IN HERE! SHIT SHIT SHIT! SEND THE SQUAD!
Baelor is the first one to arrive. Appereantly he decided to take a nap down there when the beast woke him up. He's getting his left leg ripped off, the beast gets lured away by other civilians. In an act of heroism and stupidity, Jables picks up Baelo and attempts to get him out of the room. Of course, Ambassador notices them. Baelor bleds to death as Jables drops him on the ground. Jables himself dies shortly after. The arriving squad gets completely mutilated. I lost my original notes, but I remember writing down every death and it's cause. I also remeber writing ' FUCKING EVERYONE DIES' under the list. The entire military died the second time under my reign, multiple pets, children and civilians got massacred too. After some time the beast clamed down and I attempted To seal it off multiple times, failing each time because some children or animals ran into the room the beast was chilling out in, luring it out. The one time I almost succeded Atomic Avocado lured the thing into the living quarters....
22nd of Opal
We can't....
blood everywhere
After throwing all of our civilians into squads, sending them against the monster, which lost it's wings by the way, I managed to seal the beast inside of our graveyard. At the cost of half of your population. And of course no migrants. Some dwarves start tantruming. We don't have enough coffins. Blood everywhere. There's a voidspawn outside of the fort, a beast of mass destruction inside of our fort. We lost almost every dorf. (I'm blaming dogs and children, expecially Anima's son.)

Take command. Lead your men. Hide in booze stockpile. Weep, and everyone weeps with you.I will finish the year in both Murdermachines and I willl upload both. I'd prefer the next overseer to take over the bloody mess the fort is right now but just in case the fortress dies because of tantrum spirals or something like that we will have a 'save' backup. *cough for people who don't like losing *cough. I will try to finish the farms in both realities but cleaning up the fort and getting a new graveyard up is more important. I won't be able to dorf everyone and I don't think we have enough dwarves to fulfill our needs. I didn't get a single migrant wave in the entire year and we are down to about 30 dwarves. We'll get through it somehow.
Also, sigged if you don't mind.

Things are looking grim, but it can be fixed.

EDIT:
This is all that is left of our population, there aren't enough adult dwarves to fulfill our dorfing needs, so we'll have to grab ourselves some children. Note the dwarven child that I nicknames as Minker. He is Malach's son, a worshipper of the god of fortresses and fat. He has literally NO FRIENDS and he even has a grudge against Lorbam Stinthädedtul. She was friends with AnimaRytak, Baelor II, Dortimus II, The Mad Fool and Malach.
I'm grabbing Minker and making him my new dorf, changing his name to 'Minkerrow'.

I sealed of the complete graveyard to prevent Ambassador from escaping. The militaryquarters are under the room that was dug out at the lower end of the execution drop. The lever for the dangeroom's speartraps is the one next to it's door. There's also a shooting range for ballistae there. If you find a pile of dogs, blocks and dead goblins, that's my failed atomsmasher. Please kill the dogs. I ordered an area to be dug out in the caverns. Somebody has the lever at layer one (there's a hotkey to get there) so the miners can reach it. Please construct walls around the dug out area and make farms down there.

I'm going to wind up completely f*%&ing pretty much all labor assignments. I'll try to lay them back out in a sane fashion once I'm done but for right now I can't afford to let anybody specialize, I got stuff needs doin' and everything else can wait on that.
I'm currently working on making sure that the fortress is completely cut off from above and below so that I can try to stabilize things. I have a lot of slabs to make.
The Mad Fool is missing a leg but is otherwise okay. He was thirsty, but as one of my first actions I'm going to shut down all labor assignments and tell people to get to the fricking hospital with water and food. Pitchblende and Scaliper are alive but have critical wounds; Pitchblende has serious internal wounds (bruised organs), and Scaliper has a broken spine in addition to a laundry list of other wounds.
I may try to get to dorfing but right now there aren't nearly enough warm bodies to house you jokers and a bunch of them are borderline tantrum. A kid started throwing a tantrum off and on a couple times while I was looking.
The "AMBASSADOR" is still alive and in our tomb, to my horror. At this point I'm half tempted to shove the entire fortress into crossbow squads and carve out the walls of the tomb into fortifications just to reclaim the damn thing, because I'm sure as shit going to need it.
Yuli, quick question: Are we secure from above? What do I need to do to make sure nothing can get in, and what do I need to do to open back up if migrants show up?
Post by: kefkakrazy on May 18, 2013, 05:14:12 pm
Mad Fool is now our manager, on account of Pitchblende and Scaliper being too almost dead to do bookwork. He appears to be mocking them, as he's now on his foot and hobbling around the place looking for test subjects. He tried to write orders for the various dead bodies to be moved to his lab, but I was able to countermand this in time.
Current fortress mood: We have some miserable children, but most of the rest of the fortress are actually in fairly good spirits.
AnimaRytak, you have been redorfed as AnimaRytak II, Lich-King (I can change to Overlord if that is preferred). You are a legendary bonecarver and again the only Ecstatic dwarf in the fortress.
(http://i.imgur.com/UFO2Lzd.png)
I have carved fortifications into the walls of the tomb and drafted all of the vacant vessels into a marksdwarf squad. I need that tomb cleared!
Hmm. Tomb clear did not work. Damn. (The engravers wouldn't finish the job once a few tiles were mined out, and the gunners wouldn't use it. I'll work on it later or leave it for the next person)
This is utterly screwed. Guys, how do I operate the fortress gates? There appears to be a drawbridge that locks the front gate and has us cut off from the outside (which is good) but I don't know how to open it (which is bad).
The good news is we have enough food and booze in place to support the fortress pre-AMBASSADOR, much less these broken remnants.'
Quick question: WTF is this? It looks like someone had some mining operations going on in the caverns, but I've sealed those off as well to try to make sure we don't encounter any of AMBASSADOR's friends.

Oh, wait, you mean a ballista, not Bastila.
Problem is the dwarves won't do it. There's no place safe to put one because of the layout of the tomb and the walls erected to seal in the Ambassador that's not so close to Ambassador that the engravers and/or operators won't flee. No, I think for the moment, the Ambassador lays claim to the tomb. We literally have no military right now to go in and take it back. All I've accomplished is punching murderholes into the walls of our ancestral burial ground.
EDIT: Further thought: Considering our fortress pedigree, murderholes in the walls of our ancestral burial ground is probably the best design feature we could have possibly sought out, though it could do with a good deal less monster.

Yuli, quick question: Are we secure from above? What do I need to do to make sure nothing can get in, and what do I need to do to open back up if migrants show up?As far as I know nothing except flying creatures can get inside as long as you don't open the bridge or deconstruct some walls. For some reason the bridge was constructed in a way in which the closed gate looks exactly like the open one, so you have to pay attention to dwarven or enemy movement to figure out if it's opened or closed. The lever has a note on it and can be found on layer 90. There are two levers inside a room. The left one made of limestone opens the front gate. I have no idea what the other one does.
The dude you dorfed as Anima is the one who made the dwarfbone warhammer. Good job, our leader is a maniac.

I don't know what you sealed of there, but this layer is actually safe. The entrance to the caverns is already sealed of with a closed bridge. As long as you don't pull the lever on that leverl it should be fine.

The other lever controls the position of the bridge found exactly one level below the ground, just in front of the depot.Yuli, quick question: Are we secure from above?

Kefkakrazy, use THAT lever if you want entire safety from external threats. Use the limestone lever if you want the refuse stockpile. Or just move everything underground.

Good to know, I can deconstruct the wall I built and let the dorfs back out. I was just getting super paranoid at this point because I had no way of knowing if that layer was safe and one good critter getting into the fortress proper would probably be pretty much it at this point.

All attempts to wipe out the AMBASSADOR have failed. But at least we have enough food, and nothing else can go wro-
(http://i.imgur.com/JTU2BHj.png)
FOR FRICK'S SAKE
I promptly reactivated the hit squad and sent them after them. It's freaking kobolds, I don't care if you're unarmed, it-
(http://i.imgur.com/TQKjOya.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/82rDVJz.png)
NO NO NO I FREAKING REFUSE TO LET MY TURN END WITH THE FORT OVERTHROWN BY KOBOLD RAIDERS
I have ordered EVERYONE to the fortress heart for a last line of defense. GET IN THERE YOU BEARDLESS MAGGOTS, DEFEND YOUR HONOR!
Oh god I think I accidentally locked them in the fortress with the gate lever and now they're trapped inside.
Uhm. There are dwarves which I know were just awake, which have headed to the dorms for a nap.
There are now KOBOLDS IN THE DORMS.
(http://i.imgur.com/IAYZ0nD.png)
WAKE UP ANIMA! RUN!
At this point, the kobolds have decided it'll be cool to occupy the farms. We have children run up there to try to grab plump helmets, but mostly they just get shot at and die or flee.
Aoshi, your ghost is currently haunting AnimaRytak II in the hospital.
Mad Fool was working to drag people to the hospital, since he's one of the only adults left standing, but he took an arrow to the...
lung. He's still up and is pretty badass about it in all honesty.
(http://i.imgur.com/a1Newf1.png)
There are elves milling about outside, but it looks like they can't get to any trade depot on account of the gates now being sealed. Looks like I actually did manage to lock the kobolds in the fortress, go me.
Wait, what is this message?
What?
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
(http://i.imgur.com/dTl1tMV.png)
Not opening the gates ever again.
There is a drone axelord and a drone swordmaster out there.
Mad Fool is cut off from the rest of the fort by the kobolds and there are only two undorfed vessels left on their feet. The entire fortress is unhappy and/or starving (nobody is feeding the patients), so it's a matter of time.
(http://i.imgur.com/7XzraUT.png)
I added Mad Fool to the military and told him to get to the damned hospital. He promptly ran over to a kobold archer, presumably the same one that shot him in the lung, and beat it to death his crutch before tearing out its kidney with his bare teeth. I'm slightly afraid now.
(http://i.imgur.com/3puy3AL.png)
The survivors are patrolling the farm and not looking for trouble. I feel that if I just opened the gates they'd leave... but there's an entire ambush squad of voidspawn out there so screw that.
Mad Fool lost a fight with a spearman, taking a cut to the arm before wandering off to the hospital and laying down for a nap.
At this point, the fortress is basically finished. Every available adult is either crippled, starving to death, or both; there is nobody to feed or water the patients in the hospital, since "the patients in the hospital" translates roughly as "the adult population of the fortress." We have more ghosts than adults right now (several of which are haunting the hospital). Mad Fool finally got up for a snack, ran into a kobold, and promptly took three more stabs. He's not dead, mind, but it did knock away his crutch so he can't walk and is bleeding out on the floor.
AnimaRytak just tantrumed, but he's bedridden so it's hardly dangerous. And now he's dead of dehydration.
Our last healthy (or close) adult has gone mad. He's grabbed a pick, and... Oh, gods. No! No, you mindless bastard! Not that!
Monom Nishisak, random animal dissector, has started shouting that our doom will not come at the hands of the kobolds. I've no clue what he means to do, but he's waving a pick and frothing at the mouth.
Oh, no.
(http://i.imgur.com/2b3juxF.png) (http://imgur.com/2b3juxF)

(http://i.imgur.com/rM3Xwq6.png)
HE'S FREED THE AMBASSADOR! HE'S FREED THE AMBASSA-
(http://i.imgur.com/OfKJZaa.png)
So, I killed the fort. I didn't mean to. It was entirely an accident. And I did it anyway.
If it be decided to let this stand, then I'll post the save so we can have a reclaim. If the overall decision is to restart at the beginning of my save, that's cool too; I can do that, or I can pass on to the next person to try not to fuck the fort.
I leave it in your hands, Deathgaters.

A Forgotten Beast! To think, such magnificent creatures would reside in this world as well! This is a good day, and I look forward to further observing its behavior.
Also, my vessel seems to have lost one of its legs. How tedious.
~~~
I have been cataloguing the recent influx of patients into my laboratory. It seems the Beast's incursion has given me a great deal to work with, but now we are rapidly running out of vessels. So much so, in fact, that I have been drafted to be the manager. Irritating. I tried to make the best of the appointment and assign some additional raw materials to my lab, but the Overseer was having none of it. Short-sighted fool! How am I to fashion a new generation of reanimated soldiers without fresh components?
~~~
Kobolds! Vermin! I had decided that, if the Overseer would not see to my needs, I would see to them myself when I was accosted by vermin! One of them was armed with a crossbow. Obnoxious. But it did present an opportunity to test my new prosthetic leg. Not only was it effective, it was incredibly successful! At last, my efforts are beginning to bear fruit!
It seems my exertions have taken their toll on this vessel. I think I will rest. Yes. Rest*line of ink trails off the page*
~~~~~
The remaining vermin had cut me off from my lab. The one with the bow was among them. I ate his kidney with some plump helmet and a nice Dwarven Rum. Delectable, though I wish the other one had not been so rude as to interrupt my meal. I've returned to my lab, and will continue my experiments in the morning. After I sleep. I feel so tired.

I think he may be one of the only dwarves in the fortress who actually managed to take out even a single kobold; pretty sure he had at least two on his kill list. The Mad Fool was absolutely the closest thing the shell-shocked survivors had to a leader, which says just about everything you could possibly want about how ridiculously this went down.
The freaking kobolds even had no interest in doing anything but running around stabbing puppies to death. After the initial incursion they at no point made any effort to chase anything larger than a dog and only fought with dwarves which came after them while occupying the farm and wandering through the fort; one kobold spearman even went into the hospital multiple times and literally turned and left, presumably sickened by some experiment Mad Fool had cooking in there, despite the hospital being full of helpless dwarf meat.
I just realized that the only named dwarf to actually survive at this point... is freaking Lashidang, because she was kidnapped instead of being murdered by FB or kobolds.
Post by: The Mad Fool on May 20, 2013, 10:07:35 pm
Did you just accidentally the fortress?
Pretty much.
Sigg'd, btw.
EDIT: Wait...I just realized that The Mad Fool at one point shattered the kobold spearman's arm by kicking it with his right foot. Note that he did not have a left foot at the time, nor a left leg. This means he planted his crutch into the ground and roundhouse ninja kicked the kobold in the arm.

Post by: AnimaRytak on May 21, 2013, 08:41:23 am
In the months that followed the fall of Murdermachines, there was no silence within the void; the rage of my brethren was too great. Without that fortress, and more importantly, the beacon within, we could not return to the world and take fresh bodies. None of us, except for AnimaRytak, had been powerful enough to cross the veil without that beacon.
And unfortunately, AnimaRytak had never returned after Murdermachines fell. The Mad Fool returned and spoke of our leader’s death. Yet Anima never returned to us.
“Well that didn’t fucking work,” the voice of Baelor roared through the empty void. “Kobolds. Kobolds! The most worthless of creatures known to our people and our fortress was wiped out by them!”
“Don’t look at me, I at least died against goblins.” Derm replied.
Prosnorkulus’ spoke next, “The voidspawn were the real threat. We ignored them and it cost us dearly.”
“Let’s not forget about the Ambassador.” Bulborish added absently, “We never did slay him.”
The squabbling had never ceased. Each dwarf blamed another for the fall. The most blame fell on our absent leader. Perhaps this was out of shame. We, the dwarves, had once conquered hell itself. Now we had fallen to kobolds and goblins, enemies we had conquered a thousand times.
“And where is AnimaRytak?! Was he not our leader? Is this failure not his!” Saint screamed.
The cackling sound of Him came, “What’s the matter little dwarf, do you hate the void so?”
“Quite! You could’ve helped us. Taken a vessel and fought against our enemies,” Saint shouted back.
“Alas little one, I am not a dwarf. Your kind cannot serve as my vessel.”
“None of this wouldn’t have happened if we had strengthened our military instead of gorging ourselves in an orgy of hedonism!” Blade shouted at Saint.
Little by little, more and more voices joined into the chaos until individual voices were no longer audible. I said nothing. There was nothing for me to add that would’ve helped us. With a depressed sigh, I turned my attention from my brothers.
That is until an intense pain wracked my spirit to the very core.
“Silence.” Like a thousand mouths screaming into my ears, a deep, ethereal voice boomed and overwhelmed the noise of my brethren. Despite the crippling presence of the voice, it was not a scream or a shout, it was a single utterance that carried with it incredible power.
We abided the voice’s command.
“There will be no more squabble amongst you. I have returned.” Once again the voice boomed; this time the essence of the abyss changed with it. Like birds caught in a hurricane, we were helpless but submit to his will. Even Him, the most powerful being we knew, was a whisper compared to this.
“I have failed you once my brothers. But hear me now, Murdermachines shall be ours once more.”
“Lord Anima, you have returned to us…” The Mad Fool spoke first, “Excellent! Most excellent!”
The crowd sung praises onto the new presence of our leader. Something had happened to him to make him something stronger than he had been. While he had been the most skilled in manipulating the void and the veil, he had never been able to bend the abyss to his will so readily.
But soon I knew why. Buried deep within his spirit, I could sense a familiar essence; a chaotic, primordial force.

Still can't believe that I flipping lost the fort to kobolds. I blame whoever rigged that entrance gate; I feel like there's some rewiring to be done with regards to critical fortress mechanical infrastructure.
If I had another crack at this baby and more than a handful of healthy beards to do it with, I'd probably make building a DoomBunker a high priority; fully-contained control room behind trap corridor and locking/sealing mechanism, kept stocked with rum and biscuits and designated as the super-emergency fallback for civilians. The fact that kobolds rapidly penetrated as far as the dorm/hospital level and thus cut off civilians from the gate locking lever was a major factor in us getting killed by them, since once they were accidentally sealed into the fort they could not leave and I could not get a civilian to pull the damn lever to let them out. They also continually interrupted civilians trying to get to food stockpiles, including the stockpiles in the Temple area.
The whole fortress was crawling with kobolds that were doing nothing but stabbing puppies and scaring civilians, is what I'm saying.

Kobold raiders (spearmen and bowmen, though I think the bowmen are out of arrows because they wasted them all on puppies)
Two voidspawn raiding parties, each led by a Champion-level drone
The Minotaur which we originally had caged; he is now loose and rather pissed off
AMBASSADOR, who is now loose and is probably more dangerous than your average voidspawn
All the gobbos we had in cages are loose and Friendly at the moment, but all that means is that they break ambush for the various hidden monsters around.

I fear not the voidspawn, the goblin, the kobold, or the Ambassador.There's also a Minotaur. I don't know if that changes anything.

Of course, now I'm even more concerned, because there's just one minotaur, but a voidspawn champion with no gear can solo him and there's TWO of them.
I haven't seen AMBASSADOR fight a voidspawn yet so I don't know how dangerous he is. My gut reaction is that AMBASSADOR is a bigger threat to our dwarves than the voidspawn raiders, just because the voidspawn don't have anything like the AMBASSADOR's poison mist special. He's also held his own pretty nicely in combat, so I'm genuinely not sure who would win between AMBASSADOR and a voidspawn champ.
Unfortunately, every time I've reclaimed, they've not gotten into a fight, so it basically comes out to "it doesn't matter which of them win, because the poor suckers on the reclaim party are the losers."

Journal of Goden Dorenthangath, Expedition Leader
Timbershards, one of out outposts to the west, went silent last year. The King has ordered a detachment of seven dwarves, those seven being ourselves, to investigate the fortress. Rumors say the fortress was overrun by a kobold attack, however the king seems unwilling to believe such hearsay. If the fortress is too dangerous to retake, we are to return to the mountain home. Otherwise we are to bunker down and wait for reinforcements. However, while the king will not admit it publicly, he knows the truth.
Timbershards was a nightmare. A place that other dwarves spoke of in whispers. They say the leader of the fortress, one who called himself AnimaRytak, was a demon in dwarven form. Virtually everyone who settled there had changed. Whispered tales returned to the mountain home; tales that said none that inhabitated Timbershard called it such. To them, the name was Usanstakud Nazushmestthos.
Murdermachines, the Blood-Citadel.
When word of the fortress's fall reached us, some were overjoyed by the news.
I myself am but a mere farmer; I'm here in the event that the fortress is salvageable. Along with me are Morul Eshtanudesh, a doctor, and five well trained, well equipped soldiers. I pray their axes keep us safe...
Several Months Later...
It was less than an hour after sunrise when the seven dwarves crept along the bottom of the hill towards the entrance of the fortress. The group remained silent as the crept closer. They had spotted goblins and kobolds from afar but had been unable to guess their numbers. They had snuck closer to get a better look, perhaps an unwise decision.
As the expedition leader poked his head up to count the enemies, he noticed both the goblins and the kobolds were staring up into the sky. Goden followed their gaze and spotted a black mass of fire streaking across the sky.
"What is that?" Datan asked.
"Lass, that be a black meteor. No good will follow it. We should leave now Goden." Lolor said in a whisper.
"I...I agree." The expedition leader stuttered out.
As the seven could turn tail and leave, the meteor instantly reversed direction and began falling towards the dwarves current location.
"Oh hell, it's coming towards us!" Lolor exclaimed as he took off as quick as his stout legs could carry him.
"Scatter!" Goden shouted and he followed Lolor. However their attempt to run was fruitless. The black mass moved at a speed that nothing in existence could surpass. Within seconds, it slammed into the ground in the center of the dwarves. Six were thrown clear, but one was consumed by the black flame. The air filled with a blood-curdling scream that quickly died into a choked whisper.
Lolor was the first to rise to his feet. Coughing and sputtering, "Are ye alright?!" he shouted into the dust-strewn air.
Where the soldier once stood, a scorched crater remained. Standing within the crater was something that made Goden's blood run cold.
It had the form of a dwarf. But it's bronze skin was now the color of ash. Where it's beard should be, a mass of black, flame-licked tendrils hung. Floating above its head was a halo of white-hot iron. The once fine dwarven armor had been scorched black. And now a foul, tainted miasma poured from the armor's joints. The figure slowly turned it's head and stared at Goden. As the dwarf stared into the two glowing eyes of molten magma, he gave up any hope of seeing the mountain home again.
"I return once more." A voice like a thousand hungering thralls filled the air.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/voidgod.png) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rytak/media/voidgod.png.html)
"Armok help us..." Goden whimpered.

The moment Goden muttered his prayer to Armok, the horde of goblins descended upon them. Moments later, the voidspawn followed.
Morul, the doctor, was felled in seconds by a voidspawn thrall. His skull was smashed in by the monster's fist and his brain scattered about.
"All of you, back to back." The Void God barked a command in his unearthly voice.
While the other five followed orders, Goden stared in awe as the void god stepped forward and proceeded to unleash a fury that the dwarf had never before seen.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/rage.png) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rytak/media/rage.png.html)
His axe hewed limbs. His hands shattered bones. His kicks sent enemies flying. While the rest of the dwarves fought with all their might just to hold onto their lives, AnimaRytak toyed with his enemies.
The void god spotted a minotaur, Radavi Esalalece Iramirede, fighting with a goblin spearman while another swordsman watched.
In a single blow, the void god slayed the minotaur.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/onehitko.png) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rytak/media/onehitko.png.html)
The shocked goblin spearman lasts mere seconds before the furious onslaught. Without pause, the avatar of the void turns and rockets off towards more prey. A thrall gets in his way for a brief moment.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/bifurcation.png) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rytak/media/bifurcation.png.html)
It could not be called a battle. A battle assumes the other side fought back. Instead, goblin, voidspawn, and kobold were simply cut down by the enraged Void God. There is intense cruelty in the void god's axe. One goblin lasher finds this out painfully.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/cruelty.png) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rytak/media/cruelty.png.html)
Every limb is sliced from the goblin's body. But the void god does not finish him. His wailing form is left in the dirt and leaves to bleed out. He takes after the goblin that has slain the Ambassador, a lasher of great skill.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/revenge.png) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rytak/media/revenge.png.html)
The skill means nothing before the power of a god.
By the end of the fighting, the void god had slain sixteen warriors. Not a single scratch had been placed upon him.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/multikill.png) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rytak/media/multikill.png.html)
As the dwarves approached the blood-soaked monster that had once been their brother dwarf, it spoke to them, "Make your way to the bottom of the beacon. I have need of you."
"Should we do it?" Goden asked Lolor. "I think we should run."
"Lad, did you see that that thing did? N..nothing we do is going to stop whatever it has planned." Fear laced Lolor's words, but Goden heeded his advice.
And so the dwarves descended into Timbershards, or as the locals called it, Murdermachines.
(OOC: Morul is dead. The other dwarves stayed together and fought off individual enemies while the Void God utterly tore the world a new asshole.)

Glad to see that Anima found a way to actually reclaim the fort, even if we did have to call in the living avatar of everything that is nothing to do it. He's wielding a battleaxe instead of the Red Monster, though, so you lose points.
This will probably make the future turns of the fort more fun, albeit less !!FUN!!, than the originally-predicted "hide underground and hope that the reclaim party brought wimminz" future of the fort.

To be fair, lashers are one of the more scary things goblins can have due to how damage is calculated. If he was using a scourge, that's effectively a DF lightsabre, and a whip, well, that'll break any bone it touches.
I believe he had a scourge. It was a lash to the head, instant chunky salsa.
Didn't do much against an axe to the brain though.

The ground was covered with broken bodies, rotten gore, and discarded equipment. The surface fort itself had been abandoned for some time; nature had reclaimed it.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The gate to the fortress was closed and locked from the inside. Instead of destroying the gate, the Void God brings his fist to one of the walls and makes his own entrance.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/dynamicentry.png) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rytak/media/dynamicentry.png.html)
Datan opts to stay behind to guard their backs.
In sharp contrast to the chaos above the fort, the underground areas of the fortress proper are almost pristine. No blood, no bodies, no trash. While the farming floors were covered in moss and mushrooms, everything else looked untouched.
Silently, the five dwarves follow the etheral Void God; his very presence makes the stone quiver.
Finally, the dwarves reach the base of the great beacon.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/thebaseofmadness.png) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rytak/media/thebaseofmadness.png.html)
"What is this?" Goden asked.
"The salvation of my people." The Void God says before walking forward and placing his hand on the stone obelisk.
For the four dwarves around the beacon, their blood runs cold.
"A̡̜̼̦̜̜̒̌r̴̠̗̲͙̹͉͍ͬ̂ͭͩ͘͜t̥̠͉̭̜̲̚ͅu̱̗̲̙̓̍̋̐͛l̞͉̦̪̝̜̺͖̣ͫ̂ͫ͊̌̆m̭͙̄͒͊͑̅͆͑͑͊a̳͎̖͙͍̝̋̂ͩ̀̚̕͜l̊͡͏̧̟̥̞͔͚͖ḧ̲͇̭̦̮̈́̉̉͌͘ģ͇̹͕͕̘̦̔̾ͤ̏̃å̩͎͍̠̩͔͖͎̂́͠o̢̼͍͈͍̹̩̠̖̍́s̨͎͈̈̈́ͫͫ͒̈ͮ͡͝ẖ̵ͯ̀ͮ̂͊͟ȩ̤͙̹̠̱̹̥̠̀̎ͧͬ͊̑ͣ̑ľͭ͌̃̽̐͆͂͏̻̤͕̪͈̟͍̖d̺͕̖͓ͪͫ̎̏̓ͭ͐o̸͎̙̿́̊ͤͨ͗̋̄ͅm̢̬̰̠̼̩͐̊͒͌ͦ͛͂ͤ͠a̱͎̺̤͕ͥ̋͒̎̄ͬͯ̄͂̀͡h̝̥̼̩͙̼̃̃ͭ̇͑̉̚͠l̢̡̫̺̗̹̗̪̇̓ͣ̾̏̄͐ͧ͘a̶̵̻ͩ͗̓͞.̶̟̯̹̯͔ͣ̏̎ͥͬ͢͟.̳͈̮̦̦̰̮́ͧ͂͟͡.͈̪͖̘̰̘͎̻͎̽ͫ̇ͣ̔"
Words not meant for mortal ears filled the chamber. Goden, Lolor, Mistem, and Tirist dropped their weapons and clutched their heads in agony.
On the surface above, Datan is is terrified beyond reason.
The sun been swallowed by a blackness, not unlike the black meteor. The skies had been dyed red. And great, snaking masses were making their way towards the great beacon's pit. Like a hydra, thousands of black tendrils descend from the sky and press themselves into the pit. Datan shook with fear as herworld view was shaken to the very core.
Thirty minutes passed as Datan waited for the others, fighting her desire to flee. She breathed a great sigh of relief when she saw her four friends return; even if the Void God followed.
"What was that?" Datan asked, "That... that thing in the sky."
"Nothing that you need to worry about anymore." Lolor spoke.
Datan's joy turned to fear.
"Who are you!" the raised her axe and shouted at the body of her friend.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/Reclaimparty.png) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rytak/media/Reclaimparty.png.html)
The dwarves said nothing as the Void God stepped past them, approached Datan, and placed a hand on her head before she could react.
The air was filled with the ghostly scream of Datan and the light that shined from her eyes and mouth.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/thad.png) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rytak/media/thad.png.html)
"Come, we have much work to do."
(OOC: Inside of the fortress is freakin spotless. No enemies, no trash, nothing. At current, we have five military dwarves, four of whom will spend the next year in the training room. The Void God will be on constant watch for enemies (he's legendary, so he won't mind.) And Puff will be reclaiming our farms as a the Plump Helmet Whisperer.)

Since the gates were locked and the fortress interior was well and truly sealed off, only the outside of the fort was considered valid, so the entire contents of Murdermachines was scattered over the outside of the fortress.

Lord AnimaRytak has led us to our home once more. We have fresh hosts (mine actually has dangly bits this time, fucking hu-rah).
All is not well however. While our Lord is powerful enough to destroy virtually any threat that comes our way, we have little in the way of hosts, food, or alcohol. Puff has been been given enough work to keep him busy for the next decade. Myself and the other soldiers are left to handle the busy work until we can begin training in earnest.
Our Lord marks off certain rooms for stockpiling. His skills as an organizer are still strong after years in the void.
Thaddeus, despite having a fresh host, refuses to move from his spot by the wagon. Perhaps the spirit of Datan is trying to reject the Fail Saint. After some time, Puff brings the tortured warrior to the hospital. However, until the Mad Fool returns from the void, little can be done.
9th, Slate
Apparently bored, our Lord entered the killing fields around the fortress and hunted down alone groups of goblins and kobolds. Again he continues to use his incredible strength to simply hew limbs with ease. His enemies are turned into a pile of gore and bodies.
He is a butcher. By days end, another fifteen have died by his axe.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/khorneflakes.png) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rytak/media/khorneflakes.png.html)
He relentless hunts any tresspassers who come into the killing fields. His axe never stops oozing blood.
11th, Felsite
Thaddeus has returned to work. Whatever ailment he has is no longer physical. He still seems distraught, but his spirit is strong. He will survive his depression.
25th, Felsite
A few mosquito men harasss us as we continue to haul food and seeds from the dismantled wagon.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/trance.png) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rytak/media/trance.png.html)
They do not amuse our Lord. They flee before his fury.
With that, spring ends without a hitch.

So all the useful stuff for getting the fortress restarted is outside the walls with the voidspawn? Great...
There's not a damn thing out there more dangerous than the Void God. At this point the inside of the fort is probably more dangerous, because if one of the many ghosts haunted Anima into a tantrum there'd be no survivors.

Written by Puff, the
1st, Hematite
The "Void God" has proclaimed me " a lazy, beardless dwarf" because I prefer the scenic route while carrying my seeds. There important seeds! Each one of them will go on to become a taste form of booze for my stomach.
But the Lord will hear none of my reasoning. So, to make up for my percieved laziness, I've taken over for Saint as fortress Chronicler. It's a piss poor job, let me tell ya. I tried to get Thaddeus to do it, but the lout is so depressed he just writes on the paper with tears.
Damn sissy elf-dwarf.
Well onto business, it's summer time now, which means pig tails, quarry bushes, and cave wheat are in. It also means I'm going to be busy as shit.
Why can't the void god haul some of this shit? Better still, why isn't ANYONE using that blasted wheelbarrow sitting in courtyard?
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/wheelbarrel.png) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rytak/media/wheelbarrel.png.html)
We're all a bit touched in the head, me thinks.
3rd, Hematite
The Lord was thirsty. So he took a break to drink and eat. Something tells me he's not an axelord anymore. Funny how that works.
5th, Hematite
A damn mosquito woman started chasing me outside. The Void God quickly scared them off. Now they're flying about the beacon in some sorta trance. Stupid brainless insects.
7th, Hematite
Crow folks in the courtyard. Great. Welcome to Murdermachines folks! We got furrys!
Fuck my life.
10th, Malachite
God damn this fort is boring. A month of nothing. Thaddeus got harassed by some Giant Thrips. I laughed a little.
Armok bring us migrants.
A woman who aren't serving as hosts for our Dwarfbros.
18th, Malachite
Since we were all bored, and the Void God was looking, Thaddeus, Saint, Krosan, NRDL, and myself decided to have a poker game.
Fucking Thaddeus. That depressed bastard bluffed us all out of our socks.
That's right, socks. There's five thousand socks and not a shilling in the house. We officially made our own currency, DwarfSocks.
It's half a sock to punch a kobold for six hours. That's not a euphemism either, Krosan started up a business. Beat up a kobold for six hours for half a sock, It's a hell of a catharsis release.
Sure beats his idea for a furry brothel.
23th, Malachite
Migrants!
Six wonderful migrants!
Among them are an animal caretaker-cook, an engraver, a woodcutter, a weapon and armor smith, a metalcrafter, and another farmer who's an amazing trapper.
Our abyssal brethren quickly descend upon the new hosts.
AtomicAvocado takes the new farmer. He loudly screams his name the moment he takes the body.
Fungin takes the weapon and armor smith. His first words are "Damn it, I didn't want dangly bits."
Litlbear takes the animal caretaker-cook.
SanDiego takes the metalcrafter, who dabbles in marksmanship.
Scribbles takes the engraver.
Thorkild takes the woodcutter.
Murdermachines grows this day. This means more people for SockPoker.
25th, Malachite
With the fresh arrivals ready to take over work, the four original dwarves, Thaddeus, Saint, NRDL, and Krosan, are confined to the danger room. This leaves me with dick all to do aside write whatever happens. At least Krosan's kobold torturing business is still running.
3rd, Galena
A louse man pissed off AnimaRytak.
Doesn't end well for him.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/ouch.png) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rytak/media/ouch.png.html)
In other news, Thorkild has begun clearing the mushrooms that have filled up first two floors of the fortress, along with the trees in the courtyard.
4th, Galena
More giant lice.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/nothorrible.png) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rytak/media/nothorrible.png.html)
This one actually got a single hit onto AnimaRytak. Didn't do much, just pissed him off.
6th, Galena
Litlbear has a fucked up sense of what is and isn't "edible."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/ohhellno.png) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rytak/media/ohhellno.png.html)
I aint eatin' that.
18th, Galena
Since we're out of seeds to plant, I've started gathering plants from the courtyard. Armok knows the place looks like an elf house. Really, it's just not proper for a dwarven fortress.
25th, Galena
We found a large pile of weapons and armor in one of the unused storerooms, some of it was even steel. Guess this means more hauling.
For everyone else, that is.
I'm just hauling this leaf.
Yep.
This leaf.
28th, Galena
AtomicAvocado seems to be taking a break by "pulling the lever."

AnimaRytak was none to happy about my little engraving and, as punishment, I've become chronicler of Murdermachines for the next three months. Now Puff has more time to haul that little leaf around for the next three hours.
Damn it he's such a lazy cod.
As an entrepreneur of a booming business, I find it reprehensible. Least I would, if he was one of my
So myself, Saint, Thaddeus, and NRDL have been training non-stop for half a season now. Thanks to AtomicAvocado's incessant desire to pull a lever, the training room has been giving us a workout. We don't hold a candle to the ole' VG, but we'll damn fine dwarves in our own right.

The poor saps in charge of carrying shit have the joy of moving every rock block to the surface for future expansion, by order of VG himself. I've never been so happy to be an axedwarf in my life.

Delicious migrants. Five of the little buggers.
There's a presser/speardwarf; a butchery/tanner/gem setter; a dissector; a mason/detailer; and best of all, a miner.
The miner becomes the vessel of Dravek.
Dortimus takes the speardwarf.
Eoganatcha takes the brewer/butcher.
One of the novice marksdwarves becomes Minkerrow's host.
Ulborb, one of our original voiddwarves, takes over the mason.

Saint has made little improvement.
I think he missed his dangly parts and is off pulling the lever.

Booze acquired. Eoganatcha's lynching postponed.

Litlbear steps forward to be our broker. The sheer mass of his dwarven testicles shall win us this day.
Just an observation, these merchants are all drunk as fuck. Not a damn one of em can drive their wagons. Two of em ran into the fortress wall far passed the entrance.

Thad likes his shield now. Damn it he's an odd bastard.
Really, just incredibly odd.

The Voidwraith's have returned again. Murdermachines stands tall against the world. And I shall burn this world before the end. This time, there shall be no peace. Murdermachines will drown in the blood of humans, elves, kobolds, goblins, and voidspawn.

The following is a Dwarven journal, written on fine sheets of Pig Tail paper. The words run off the paper at many different points.
18th Limestone
Well now, it's been a while since I was this happy! After dozens of years floating around that purple and black Void, I had pretty much given up the hope of ever getting to feel the crunch of a pick against stone ever again. The last time I got to dig, I remember hearing a strange shrieking noise, and feeling an extremely sharp pain in the back of my skull, which must have killed me since everything stopped working and I fell on my face. As I was drawn from my body towards what I now know as the Void, I saw this gigantic brown colored spider chewing on my head - I think if I had still had a functional stomach, I would have vomited right there. When I got my first view of the Void, I was stunned. I had never seen anything so beautiful and frightening at the same time, except maybe ADAMANTIUM down in the mines. After a long time wandering and reminiscing about digging out a huge emerald vein, I heard this strange pulsing sound, almost like a deep drum, calling me towards this particularly bright point in the Void. Now I couldn't really say why, but I felt myself drawn to it, like a two legged rhino lizard to cheese. When I got close enough, it sucked me right through!
When I passed through that bright light, I found myself shooting towards the ground at an extremely rapid pace, heading directly towards what I noticed looked like a Dwarven fortress. I passed into this strange object that I have now learned is called 'The Beacon', and immediately felt something change. I felt wind in my hair, solid ground beneath my feet, (I had FEET again!) and even smelled the familiar odor of unwashed dwarven bodies. It really felt just like being home again! I also noticed that my new body seemed to be extremely strong, my arms are larger than my head! I looked around and saw the Void God, AnimaRytak standing before me. I was awed by the sheer power emanating from him... IT. When he spoke, I FELT it almost as much as I heard it.
"DRAVEK, I HAVE NEED OF YOU. THERE IS MUCH WORK TO BE DONE HERE, MUCH WEALTH OF THE EARTH FOR US TO RECLAIM. "
"You want me to dig? You've found the right dwarf, your Voidgodliness. I can hear th' ore calling me! I'll just be on my way to grab a pick, and get diggin'."
"DRAVEK. THE WORK TO BE DONE IS THE OTHER WAY."
"I'll be sure to get right on that, boss. Right after I grab a pint."
I wonder if any of the other boys around here know where I can get my hands on a nice goblet to drink out of. I'd hate to have to drink my first ale in years out of an Armok-be-damned MUG. What am I, an elf?
6th Moonstone
Well, the Void God found me after my 8th pint, and shoved a pick in my hands. He told me to ignore the piles of junk that many of the other dwarves were moving from place to place, and told me to start digging out whatever minerals and ores I found down in the mines. This is the best job I ever had! I carved out a couple chambers pretty quickly, dropping the good stuff in piles for the others to pick up. I got too much digging to do to be lugging leaves and sticks around all day. I put my own special design on the chambers too, I think Mr. Anima will be pleased.
I call them Rectangulars.

Ah, it's good to be corporeal again! Well, it would be, except I leapt before I looked and possessed a woman. It's damned hard to tell gender from the void, especially with beards obscuring faces.

In case you can't tell, that's a llama. In the middle of our underground fortress. Why on earth anyone would keep a llama inside I have no idea, but I think I'm going to have harsh words with Dortimus about this one. I told him he wasn't allowed to practice on the pregnant livestock...
I'm sorry boss, I just can't let go of my first body's habits.... Female creatures just should not have babies within them. Besides, twice the experience.

Your first guess was right. I know the hatch cover is useful, but I was hoping for a cool weapon. To be honest, when I saw him grabbing microcline I knew to expect something like this. I do like the platypus styling, though.
Yeah, the platypus is a nice touch. The hanging rings might make finding the handle a bit difficult, though...
And it is Ironhand? Huh. I don't remember microcline walls looking like that, but I haven't found much microcline recently. Approval restored.

I can just see him being pissed off that his new vessel is "whole" thus not giving him anything to tinker with.
Maybe I'm just enamored of watching him roundhouse kick a kobold with one leg. Next thing you know he's going to go full-on Samurai Jack Scotsman and build a working, fully-automatic crossbow into a peg leg.

Early on the Second of Hematite, year 259, two elven traders came upon the Dwarven fortress of Murdermachines. Little did they know that they were approaching a fortress infested with the blackness of the Void. The inhabitants of the fortress had been possessed, their personalities subordinated to the souls of those from Deathgate the Doom-fortress. All new migrants, sooner or later, were consumed in this manner. The two elves, however, believed that Murdermachines was just a freshly-reclaimed Dwarven fortress, eager to trade. As they approached the fortress, they attracted the menacing glare of one who is now known only as "the Void God". Unnerved, they continued on past the heavy ballistae guarding the entrance and into the fortress proper. They set up their goods in the depot and waited for a trader to come and barter with them. Unbeknownst to them, as they entered the fortress the Void God followed behind. As they were waiting in the trade depot, they were attacked. The Void God set upon them with a rage, disemboweling and then shattering the skull of the first trader. The second trader turned to run, but was overtaken by the Void God. Analysis after the fact revealed that the merchant had his left foot, right leg, left hand, and right hand severed, in addition to grievous wounds inflicted to the stomach. The two traders vanquished, the Void God returned to his position at the entrance to the fortress and waited.

You do realize that having our military basically consist of one dorf at this time is a recipe for utter FUN right?I's not just AnimaRytak. The other squads spend pretty much all their time in the danger room or the archery range. That's where 1st squad's barracks is. Anima was closest, and it was the most...theatrical. Also, I think it bears mentioning that he didn't really go straight back up to his station. He went for a beer first.

The Mad Fool came up to me in the hallway today, and asked if he could be the Chief Medical Dwarf. I almost said no, but then I realized that if he was in charge of the hospital then any "experiments" he performed would get cleaned up faster by the medical staff, and he wouldn't be tempted to use me as a test subject. He claimed that his current body (which is a woman, by the way) is a great diagnostician, but I'm skeptical. After I appointed him, he ran away, looking for a lab coat.

I was under the impression that the whole point of the danger room was to take the weak and unworthy and make them less weak and unworthy, so the voidspawn would then weed out the inferior. You don't get a hell of a lot of use out of minions when the standard training regimen outputs quadriplegics.

1st Granite 260
I'm still getting used to occupy a female body. Giving birth didn't much help in the process. The child I have borne was wounded in our training room, but not before being possessed by Samwise, who has since deceased. Better luick next time, Sam. My gut tells me, we will need more coffins, sooner rather than later. Never hurts to have more coffins around.

We also seem to be running quite low on drinks and meat. Where is the goddamn still? Ah there you are. Brew! Now, where was the horse? Here, horsie horsie.
11th Granite 260
Still trying to figure the operations of the fortress as a whole. Meanwhile, the Void God has been walking around whispering something to his shield. I have also revisited the schedule of my squad. Now, we train for three months straight and get one mont free for marksmanship training.

Why is there a ghost in Litlbear's office?
3rd Slate 260
Everything takes forever here. So much work, so little bodies. I started ro reclaim some of the bodies that cover the surface, along with some more useful things. Butcher's shop is chock full of rotting stuff nobody moves. No doors are availiable. Ditto beds. The smell is getting worse.
13th Slate 260
Finally, some doors are being made. Butcher's shop has been isolated to prevent further miasma spread. Raptor's new quarters are slowly getting furnished, but the simths are little lazy about the furniture.
22nd Slate 260
Removed Derm from brewing duty to remedy the smithing slowness. Also, we have new arrivals

An elven caravan has arrived. A welcome sight, as training and sparring gets boring rather fast. These two will prove a satisfying distraction, not to mention great training.
The baby boom continues! This time, Mad Fool is the mother. And it's a girl again.
21st Felsite 206
Damnations! The voidspawn are here once again! To arms!
Minkerrow was killed by voidspawn soldier swordsmaster, but NRDL and Saint hacked the vile beast apart while it dodged our bolts. In his absence, I have taken command of the squad.
Now, the gates closed, everyone has time to man their stations. The Void God har arrived. Prepare for the rest!
Void God arrived without any weapon and rushed out of gate to collect some equipment. As we could not stop him, we rushed to his aid, as he was punching another drone swordsmaster and others were rapidly approaching.
Void god is now surrounded, be we are not far away. He fights like an embodiment of death. Where his punch lands, a bone breaks. Wherever he bites, limbs fly away (OOC: despite arriving unarmed and unarmored for some reason, he just deprived the second swordsmaster of left lower arm, the entire right arm and several teeth just by biting)
Finally, in one chaotic meleé we have killed the vile voidspawn. Nobody died, despite the Void God, The Mad God, Dortimus and Tryrar getting hurt. AnimaRytak was bitten by voidspawn thrall and lost a lot of blood, but he is disregarding any medical care.
Thus ends the spring
**************
OOC part
So, the spring was pretty uneventfull, except for the ambush. For some reason, Anima is unarmed and unarmored, but I'm trying to rectify this by launching the metalworks to full boom. Also, almost nobody died.
Also, here is a fort trivia: Anima's full name translates as Godden 'AnimaRytak' Roadcalls The Foggy Book of Maws.
Post by: StLeibowitz on June 17, 2013, 03:57:58 pm
From the Journal of Saint II, former Emperor and Empress of the Underground, etcetera and so on and so forth
...battle over. Killed a spawn. Tempted to mix blood with a shot of rum to see how it tastes, but I don' want to be the first in this fort to become a spawn. That honor goes to His Excellency, the Worshipful Booze-Sucking Kobold himself.
He was arrogant.
He was foolish.
He was bitten.
Also, he was stark naked. Now, while I do appreciate the draw of nude wrestling, perhaps sprinting out into an army of void-begotten horrors with it all hanging out was an ill-conceived notion? Maybe his purple robes and papal tiara got hot or something. Whatever the reason, I will be following him like a lion stalking its prey and watching him like the starving, obsessive offspring of an eagle and a hawk watches an obese mouse. It may have only been a Thrall...maybe.
But if he turns, I will exact my vengeance.
transcriptor's note: final words are blurred by stains of what seems to be rum, mud, and voidspawn squeezings. Rest of fragment contains scratched-out recipes for rum roasts.

Our ranks swell, as Derm has given birth to a boy. Also, Axe-crazy is tantruming. He punched Rmm severeal times, tearing his middle spine. I fear Rmm may never properly recover. He is being carried into

Not a day later, Rmm succumbed to his wounds. Axe-crazy shall be punished.
15th Hematite 206
In the light of recent events, I'm establishing a jail not far from Raptor's office. Further notable events: Oryx has reached axelord status. Rmm's corpse is still lying in the temple, unburied. I'm including a sketch of the scene, which I hope will serve as a stimulus to expedite his burial.

What? No iron bars? How is that possible! To the smelters!
22nd Hematite 206
Voicesinthefan gave birth today. I wonder, what we will do with such an abundance of babies.
What do you mean we have NO ore? Miners!
26th Hematite 206
Crisis averted, lode of magnetite struck by miners. Excavation in progress. Also, while reviewing our stocks, I noticed that large amount of quality armor is marked as forbidden. I have rectified that.
11th Malachite 206
We have midsummer migrants. Also, our fresh mayor banned export of bucklers. Whatever.
25th Malachite 206
Today, Urist McDeath and I had a minor injury in our danger room. I wonder, what genius put that sharp spear in there. I'm just mildly bruised, but Urist has a cut on his leg. He opted to visit Mad Fool for healing, but I know better. Also, Raptor's son (whom's father is NCommander) has sustained a fracturd leg, but he'll manage.
(OOC: seriously, there is exactly ONE sharp wooden spear and every time some baby buys it. Nobody died just yet. I mean, not on my turn.)
Also, one of the new migrants got snatched by some butcher.

5th Galena 206
An unclaimed vessel has been once again possessed by an outside agent. I dearly hope something useful comes out this time. But as this is a clothier, I seriously doubt it. Mining operations go smoothly. Void God has even acquired a steel mail and shield. I started the smelting process down at the forges. Also, my body has given birth once again, this time it's son.
16th Galena 206
Human caravan! Most excelent. On a more sober note, voidspawn siege arrived a moment later. Lockdown! Sixteen voidspawn, mostly swordsmen and swordmasters, acompanied by one hammer lord. I'm told one of the swordsmasters is an overlord. I do not think this bodes well for us. Nonetheless, we mass topside, gates closed while we position. Engineers rush to their posts, aiming their deadly payload. Somehow, Peregarrete has been caught outside, and now fights a voidspawn drone. Unfortunately, that was too much to handle for Peregarrete.
23rd Galena 206
Voidspawn are at our gates. Ballista fire has hit them, but not before they caught up with atomic avocado.
(http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp70/Salisaad/Dwarven%20Fortress/voidbalista_zps2a270209.jpg) (http://s398.photobucket.com/user/Salisaad/media/Dwarven%20Fortress/voidbalista_zps2a270209.jpg.html)
Some have been caught in the cage traps, but nowhere near enough. My strategic decision is to stall for a while, to give engineers chance to reload our great machines of war.
26th Galena 206
Voidspawn now fight the human caravan. Engineers have returned with ammunition and are ready to fire. More of those foolish voidspawn fell to our cage traps. I'm ready to give the 'open gates' command.
It's now or never. Open the gates! Glory! Battle!
The overlord charged in first, dodging all ballista bolts while our cowardly engineers run. Void God has crushed his spine and everyone piled up on the now paralyzed overlord, devastating his body.
Rest of the voidspawn has arrived. Everything turns into one chaotic meleé. I saw no less than three more voidspawn go down in the first moments.
4 th Limestone 206
I belive the strength of our besiegers is broken. They keep fighting, but no longer as a whole. We may live through this after all. Those who can retreat at their top speed, but some can't. Our mighty warriors wage terrible venegance on those who are left behind. Many have been hurt and I do not know how long they will live, but only Peregarrete and AtomicAvocado have perished.
***
OOC part: this season has been pretty tame, but got a lot more exciting towards the end. Enormous loads of quality armour was forbidden, so I rectified that. Ballistas worked (mosly bruising guts and breaking bones, voidspawn now have steel mail shirts). Didn't kill too much people. Pretty succesful season. Rmm's corpse is still there. Not enough coffins. Nobody makes them. Too much corpses.

Journal of SanDiego, master of all things mechanical
8th Limestone 206
Our wounded were transported to the hospital. Tryrar, Microblighted, Dortimus, Mortis, Brokenmind, Baltharaaz, and Scaliper now lie in hospital. Urist McDead and Axe-crazy still lie wounded up top. Void God, as always, refused treatment. We lack buckets, so I immediately ordered some more to be constructed. Also, people are coming back.
(http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp70/Salisaad/Dwarven%20Fortress/Avocado_zpsbfc77081.jpg) (http://s398.photobucket.com/user/Salisaad/media/Dwarven%20Fortress/Avocado_zpsbfc77081.jpg.html)

Peregarrette claims, she has to go bash skulls in the name of Quarry Bush, but we have short supply of trained weaponsmiths as it is, so for now - OFF TO THE FORGES, WOMAN!
(http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp70/Salisaad/Dwarven%20Fortress/Baelor_zpsed753369.jpg) (http://s398.photobucket.com/user/Salisaad/media/Dwarven%20Fortress/Baelor_zpsed753369.jpg.html)
Baelor claims to be expert healer, but it sure doesn't show. Well, we have a distinct shortage of medical personell as well, so he might jump right in. (OOC: Because no 'proper' doctor was availiable, I grabbed a Soap Maker and made him doctor. Also, I found it hilarious that our wounded would be tended to by Mad Fool and unskilled Baelor)
Right now, I have some time to make a few sketches of the fort. First sketch: Topside. Please note the piles of body parts and pools of blood and other liquids.
(http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp70/Salisaad/Dwarven%20Fortress/topside_zps3db6f55c.jpg) (http://s398.photobucket.com/user/Salisaad/media/Dwarven%20Fortress/topside_zps3db6f55c.jpg.html)
Sketch two: crafting area. Please note all those workshops nobody works in and a clothier that is scheduled to go berserk any time now.
(http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp70/Salisaad/Dwarven%20Fortress/craft_zps0205f933.jpg) (http://s398.photobucket.com/user/Salisaad/media/Dwarven%20Fortress/craft_zps0205f933.jpg.html)
Sketch three: Forges. While abundant work area is availiable for everyone, not many people seem to be working.

14th Limestone 206
Dortimus walked out of hospital today, followed by Brokenmind. I now have hope for others as well. Also, I have been informed that a ghost is howling around somewhere. Great, another ghost!
20th Limestone 206
Aforementioned Clothier has finally gone stark raving mad. Also, new migrants are here. Poor fools. Also, new souls arrive from the void.
(http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp70/Salisaad/Dwarven%20Fortress/maxwell_zps7ee8f083.jpg) (http://s398.photobucket.com/user/Salisaad/media/Dwarven%20Fortress/maxwell_zps7ee8f083.jpg.html)
(yes, he is medical dwarf, he just had master soap maker to the boot)

Also, our meat stocks fall to historical minimum. That means, we are out of meat. Ordered some of our plethora animals to be butchered.
We now have sufficient iron bars to start producing steel. Soon, our glorious armies will wipe the voidspawn clean of this land.
11th Sandstone 206
All wounded have been discharged from the hospital, except Scaliper. But Scaliper has been there for quite some time, so he will have to deal with it.
27th Sandstone 206
Scaliper has finally made it out of the hospital. Though he has to carry a crutch, he walks around with no problems.
4th Timber 206
Some unclaimed vessels have given birth. Also, I have begun next phase of living quarters expansion. And I ran out of coffins, again. As a side note, another vessel has been possessed by external agents.
14th Timber 206
A caravan from mountainhomes is here. I sincerely hope, that nothing goes shitty this time. Insane clothier died of thirst. Litlbear is nowhere near the depot. Caravan is arriving. They seem a little unsettled by our collection of caged voidspawn.
(http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp70/Salisaad/Dwarven%20Fortress/Titan_zps81f9569c.jpg) (http://s398.photobucket.com/user/Salisaad/media/Dwarven%20Fortress/Titan_zps81f9569c.jpg.html)
All I want for christmas is one uninterrupted trading session...
Military has been called to stand between traders and the outside. No monstrosity will take this trading session from me!
The beast draws closer and closer. It's blood will run free for interrupting me!
Caravan brought no seeds and drinks as I had hoped. But I have trated some of our gold for a cache of wood and some armour and medical supplies.
Titan arrived shortly thereafter, shooting thick webs all around us. It bit Balthraaz's head apart with it's monstrous jaws. We put bolt after bolt into the beast. There are many sticking out, but it still shoots it's sticky webbing. Finally, one of my bolts hits the beast in it's brain, killing it.

While we were doing battle, the possessed mason finished his work.

Can't say if I'm impressed or not.
25th Timber 206
Thief! The dastardly kobolds were found by our hunter. One made a run for it, the other one found out what's it like to be shot full of bolts by amateur hunter.
Where are my damn coffins?
*****
OOC part: So, there I was, thinking I have a nice, calm autumn when that Titan arrived. It seems, that each caravan brings progressively worse disaster along with them. Elves brought voidspawn ambush, humans brought voidspawn siege and dwarves brought a god damned titan. Just a warning to whomever takes over - be ready when the elves come.

------------------------------UPDATE--------------------------------
Journal of SanDiego, master of all things mechanical
1st Moonstone 206
(http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp70/Salisaad/Dwarven%20Fortress/butcherbeast_zpse7542650.jpg) (http://s398.photobucket.com/user/Salisaad/media/Dwarven%20Fortress/butcherbeast_zpse7542650.jpg.html)
The meat is a bit rubbery, but the webbing gives it a piquant note. Unfortunately, the shell was too damaged to recover. But we got plenty of meat. It's heart alone is large enough to feed several dwarves.
17th Moonstone 206
The liaison has finally finished his talks. Here is the order from mountainhomes.
(http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp70/Salisaad/Dwarven%20Fortress/order_zpsd7bbeba1.jpg) (http://s398.photobucket.com/user/Salisaad/media/Dwarven%20Fortress/order_zpsd7bbeba1.jpg.html)
And Mayor is mandating mittens of all things. Mittens.
And Baltharaaz is back. And has a hammer.
(http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp70/Salisaad/Dwarven%20Fortress/Balthraaz_zpseb512424.jpg) (http://s398.photobucket.com/user/Salisaad/media/Dwarven%20Fortress/Balthraaz_zpseb512424.jpg.html)
10th Opal 206
As year slowly draws to an end, metalworks and *cough* everything else goes on smoothly. Our tombs are vastly expanded, but I fear I still do not have enough coffins. I have assured large stock of ballista arrows. Also, given our growing numbers, Raptor has been named Captain of the Guard, instead of sherrif. He immediately informed me, we need more chains for the criminal scum. Whatever. Also, we have something of a food issue, but I'm rectifying that.
14th Opal 206
No sooner than the last mitten left the workshop, Mayor imposed ban on mitten export. I'm starting to suspect a connection here.
28th Opal 206
The food crisis has been somewhat averted. I'm issuing more and more bolts for our hunters and reducing some of the superfluous livestock. Yet it would seem that everyone eats things before they arrive to the stockpile.
3rd Obsidian 206
THERE ARE PLANTS IN THE FIELDS! MOVE YOU MORONS! YES, THAT MEANS YOU!
6 th Obsidian 206
Not long before the new year, a new sould arrived from the void.
(http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp70/Salisaad/Dwarven%20Fortress/squidmann_zpscaee8819.jpg) (http://s398.photobucket.com/user/Salisaad/media/Dwarven%20Fortress/squidmann_zpscaee8819.jpg.html)
And a different sould arrived to howl through our chaotic halls. More coffins, damnit!
13th Obsidian 206
A baby boom is going on in fortress. No less than three children have been born in the past days.
22nd Obsidian 206
A particularly adventurous kobold thief appeared at our doorstep. Unfortunately, he got away unharmed.
Also, to make a shitty day worse a goblin ambush has sprung on one of ourh hunters.
I can count four pikemen and one swordsman. We are assembling topside right now. They brought a master thief with them, but he now enjoys the hospitability of our wooden cages. Another one showef up just to follow his comrade's fate.
Dtto the third one. I suspect they use them to clear way through our traps.
28th Obsidian 206
Goblins have succesfully been chased away after but a short skirmish. Their only casualty was a swordsman, killed by Mortis.
1st Granite 207
Thus ends my year as overseer of this
***
OOC part: All things considered, this has been a fun year. I tested the ballistas, I didn't kill too many people, built helluva lot of coffins, put some ghosts to rest and so on. Some tips for next ruler: we have quite large contingen of captives. Including a lot of voidspawn in cages. I leave it to your imagination. Everyone on the dorfinator should be alive. And I NEED to sign up for another turn.
Also, built the goddamn coffins. Rmm is still rotting in the temple.

Post by: The Mad Fool on June 28, 2013, 04:57:29 pm
How considerate of my compatriots! They have so thoughtfully provided me with a vessel with new sexual characteristics! I had all but exhausted my opportunities for experimentation after two reincarnations, and this opens up ever new avenues for research. Not to mention, there's some fellow following me around, saying he's my spouse or something. Well, I can always use new research subjects, and he has been so kind as to always be on hand.
~~~~~
It seems this vessel is pregnant. How inconvenient. Well, this fortress will always require additional podlings for our kind to inhabit, so I suppose it is a good thing that this vessel is spawning one. In order to ensure the infant vessel's health, I have doubled my daily alcohol intake. I will increase it further as required.
I have begun to consider some possible projects which may improve the strength of this fortress' defenses, after the success of my last graft.
~~~~~
I seem to have given birth. I hadn't even noticed at first, but then I realized that there was one more person wailing than usual in my laboratory. The podling is male, it seems, and Samwise has inhabited the vessel. I don't know why he wanted it. Bloody thing can't even stand on its own power yet.
~~~~~
Record of Test Subject #36 here commences.
Name of Subject: Rmm
Condition: Torn Spine
Treatments Administered: Spinal vivisection, followed by application of surgical hammer for purposes of realignment.
Treatment status: Success. Spine was successfully realigned and vivisection closed.
Patient status: Deceased.
Cause of Death: Blood loss and blunt force trauma to spinal column.
Notes:
It seems his nervous system did not take well to being pounded on with a hammer. A convenient result, as I was short on AB Negative.
~~~~~
AnimaRytak had decided to wade into battle naked. An ingenious stratagem, and one which has given me some ideas....
Incidentally, I have sewn him back together, though his beard and hair was quite beyond repair with current methods. I am also thinking about solutions to that problem.
~~~~~
Teh_Idort has come to me complaining of a missing right hand. Apparently, he hadn't noticed, at which point I pointed out that it must not have been very important, then. Besides, if he thinks I'm going to take his hand out of the incubator and ruin a perfectly good experimental culture just for him, he's sadly mistaken. Of course, I didn't mention the incubator thing to him. According to Nail Bunny, such news may upset him.
In other news, I have been learning a few rudiments of social interaction. I think I am making progress.
Now if only this one would hold still, he wouldn't knock away the clamps and bleed so much. Perhaps I should tie him down. No...I am nearly finished anyways, and he'll stop screaming eventually.

The dwarves of Deathgate built the TWO of greatest perpetual motion machines the world has ever seen, and they only used them to power a single millstone.
One of Deathgate's greatest enemies was a deer whose guts were hanging out of its torso.
Deathgate was finally brought down by a god of madness the dwarves themselves created.

There is a considerable lack of insanity in this fort. It's just your average succession fort so far. Deathgate was far more than that. Deathgate was such a hive of madness and depravity that a demon who tried to take control was horrified by what he saw.

AMBASSADOR left us in such bad shape that by the time my reign rolled around, one minor screwup later we got destroyed by freakin' kobold raiders. Jables was well dead by that point; Dorfinator says he was killed trying to rescue Baelor II from AMBASSADOR.

I just moved here with my husband and we both got drafted into the militia. Also apparently I am the best manager of the fort. Guess I get an office.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I'm the fort manager and hell if I know how to manage it. There is rubbish everywhere, for reasons unknown there are old skeletons of legendary dwarves lying in the main staircase and no one is bothering to bury them. Some poor fucker just got possessed by a ghost. Probably lucky he wasn't a miner or woodsman.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Plus look at the godawful mess still waiting outside:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
No, I'm going to focus on small improvements. Like getting food, since we don't have any, apparently, barely enough to last the spring and more than a hundred mouths to feed.
Meanwhile some asshole runs every which way around the fort, gathers up enough leather for a full suit of armor and makes...have you guessed it?
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
It was just at the end of spring, that a group of goblins came raiding. It was a small siege, but crafty. Naturally our brave soldiers resolved to act like idiots.
Sniper strayed outside with her child and nearly tripped over a kobold. With goblins just a few urists away, behind the cover of trees she tore the hell out of that kobold, giving torturing lessons and pointers to her baby all the while:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Luckily, she finished it off at the right time, and barely missed the gobbos.
Microblight was a whole lot less lucky. He went to "get equipment". Apparently from the goblins:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
He doesn't make it, but neither do the goblins.
The siege ends, but we've got bigger problems:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Sure the ghostly guy is an issue, but the food shortage. That's a real problem... We are going to be eating vermin soon if something doesn't change. All we've got to eat is tallow and eggs and the cooks just aren't cooking it fast enough.
Summer:
Oh yeah, and did I mention? That buzzing sound we've been hearing in the deep rocks by the forges? Yeah, well it wasn't just volcanic gases:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Naturally I sent the army down. They hung about for half a month, while the damn thing visited every other part of the cavern but ours.
When it came it was fast, it knocked two of our boys into the cavern lake:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
They didn't make it out of the cavern. I still see their armor shining through the dark water. We got the mosquito though. The gladiator was the day's hero. After the thing swept the two into the water, it nearly flew up again, but the gladiator took a running start, jumped and bit the fucker right on the leg:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Big fucking mosquito or not, it still can't fly around dragging a steel-clad dwarf. The gladiator got the killing blow too:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Saddest thing about the whole affair (aside from the drowned dwarves) was that the Mosquito wasn't even edible. A third of the fort is now hunting for small vermin. Some are rioting. Some even murdering:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Did it right in the middle of the barracks too. Poor macedwarf sod. No trial for San Diego, he is a war hero still, we need all the swords we can get and his killed a damn titan:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Another siege! Our food problems are about to get a bit smaller, provided as many dwarves as I think are going to die:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Voiceinthefan and her baby were just outside the gates. The goblin master archer raised his bow. Fired. Fired again. Fired a third, a fourth and a fifth time. Voiceinthefan wasn't even running. I don't think she even saw the damn goblins. We saw them...Armok did we see them...After the sixth shot the lashers started laughing at the elite archer. He cursed at them something horrible, took aim at Voiceinthefan and saw both her and her baby turn a corner out of sight. Some unlucky woodburner took that exact moment to turn the same corner. It didn't go well, he took one shot but this time, it was all he needed:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
We clash with them briefly and lose three men to archer fire:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Backing up, our stalwards line the entrance hall waiting for the goblins to come to us. Just then a second siege appeared:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Voidspawn. I hoped to never the see the evil things again.
The goblins and the void spawn head right for each other:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
We sit this one out behind the gate:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The goblins get killed pretty quickly but we get odd reports of the void spawn slaughtering each other in the northeast. We ignore them. We've got bigger problems: a single troll survivor breaks from the combat and runs screaming into our battle line. The void spawn follow:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
A few minutes later and I was slain:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The Mountainous Abysses of Sourness. Has a nice ring to it.
Oryx went to sleep after the battle, but some of the younger, less experienced dwarves wanted to check out the site where the void spawn were slaughtering each other. Only one seemed to still be standing, covered in the viscera of his fellows.
It seemed like an easy kill...
Prosnorkulus fell first, his spine shattered. Like a true dwarven hero he kept nudging the enemy with his inert, paralyzed body up until the very end:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Next it beheaded the murderer El Mechanico and injected its foul poison into another dwarf:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
This one, a fellow named Mortis only lasted a few seconds after the bite, so he didn't suffer from the poison overlong:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Baltaraaz the Obliterator barely put up a struggle:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
At this point the army began to panic, running from the thing which at this point barely dragged itself around, the horrid Granite Amethyst, even with missing limbs, more than a match for our forces:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Finally, it is the legendary AnimaRytak that slays the beast, cutting it in half as it feasted upon yet another militia soldier:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Thus ended the great siege.
Fall:
All fall we built a palisade I felt would improve our ability to expand on the surface. After his heroics AnimaRytak was possessed by an angry ghost and nearly killed a few civilians. I locked him in his room until the frenzy passed.
Greg went melancholy over the slain Prosnorkulus.
A surprising number of infants died of thirst
The traders came and dammit if I didn't buy up every bit of food they had in exchange for the traditional dwarf export: gold bars and bloodied torn clothing.
Winter:
A weaponsmith forged a damn fine warhammer
Think I'll give it to the militia commander.
It was only 15 days before my term ended when another siege came. I'll deal with that tale tomorrow.

i think so, I mentioned all the named dead explicitly. I hope so, anyway
___________________________________________________________
last 15 days of winter.
So another siege came. Goblin archers, trolls and hammerers, usual shit.
As usual some assholes are stumbling about outside, a child turns into a pincushion as does a named dwarf: Aseaheru, honored pot thrower bit the dust full of goblin arrows:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
His mistake was running into a kobold and taking his sweet time shooting it dead. I can't be sure, but the kobold might have crawled away a broken cripple. No matter Aseaheru didn't crawl away at all.
But it was Ok, I gave orders to hold the bend so that their archers would close into our melee range.
Then I heard sounds of combat:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Animarytak, the goddamn void god, the single best murdering machine we have decided to screw my orders and to take on the siege by himself. He isn't even wearing boots or gloves.
Obviously I have no choice but to raise the whole damn army.
I follow void gods maneuvers with horror expecting him to drop to an arrow at any moment, but...well...he isn't doing too bad:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Then the kobold torturer shows up to help him, and his eyes glaze over. He doesn't end up doing too shabby either:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The two cut a neat path through the mace goblins, round on the archers and only get intercepted by trolls as the archers start firing:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
They make it. The kobold torturer gets a cut on the foot and has to be rescued. Some unlucky maceman gets a broken bone but also lives. The goblins and trolls are utterly slaughtered, blood is everywhere:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Speaking of blood, my term is bloody over. My proudest achievement is the hammer whose creation I oversaw: I gave it to our finest hammerlord:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Breathimpaled...good dwarven name. I gave it to CARPLord
Here is the keys to the fort, hope the next overseer enjoys picking shit up off the ground, since I never quite got around to it, what with the three separate sieges and one conjoined siege: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=7816

My dwarf appears to have good potential for crushing skulls with maces, yet she is just smelting stuff and cutting gems. What's wrong here?. My mistake, I assume, I tossed everyone who could fight into a militia at the beginning of spring. Somehow very few of them made it to the nxt spring. We need much more armor. Mybe smelting stuff is for the best

If it is any consolation, the murder you committed during the hungry summer would have gotten you hammered to death the moment someone appointed a sheriff or hammerer

I'm convinced at least one Deathgate regular amuses himself by placing strange and arcane linkages between levers and doors and floodgates without labeling them, then passing the ensuing cluster%*&^ to the next man.
I'm sure of that, because it's exactly what I'd do if I hadn't spent my brief turn getting slaughtered by kobolds and watching Mad Fool go totally Jackie Chan on some kobolds.

Just pick your battles. the corner bend besides our ballistae is where you want to be meeting the enemy, ideally after theyve been shot at by every projectile in the fort.
Post by: Orange Wizard on July 19, 2013, 01:10:06 am
Or just folow my lead, ignore the levers out of sheer terror as to what they might do, and keep the fort open 24/7 year round. Sure almost everyone I drafted into the squads ended up dead, but the dwarvves already militarized before my turn were tough enough to survive and kick ass.This. That, or have marksdwarves patrolling the area year round, to pincushionify anyone feeling like visiting.

maybe I sound a bit elfy, but dfhack has nice utility gui/mechanisms which shows linkages to this lever/bridge/floodgate/etc. Very useful when you come back to old long forgotten fortress. Or in cases like this.That does sound elfy, but I can hardly blame you for doing that.

As in, I had no idea what was going on. I had been in a daze far as long as I could remember. Working in a place as dead as the bodies that laid around it was unsettling.
More unsettling, however, was this lever I saw everyday when I walked to and from work. The yellow stone beckoned to me, but its purpose didn't. I saw it, and I could touch it, but I dare not lest I wish a very possible death upon my brothers and sisters. The last thing I wanted was more of what unsettled me in the first place. Yet this orthoclase...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
... A schist. I couldn't hold out.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Nothing happened.
And nothing would happen for a while. Sure, new burial places were marked to be dug out and some other standard things, but that's all of real importance.
And Sodol Logemam, that crazy old bat. He stopped talking with us.
And Sodol Logemam, that crazy old bat. He started building something in MY shop not a week later! His socks must have been a little too tight...
There was nothing to talk about, except...
Sodol Logemam, that crazy old bat. He made a highwood bin! IN MY WORKSHOP! A WOODEN BIN! He should be wearing those socks around his neck.
...
A month passed.
Until...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
WHAT?
WHAT HAS HE?
I DON'T.
...
The lever called to me from somewhere else. I felt it. In the deep, dark corner of the fort.
Yet something else a bit darker was brewing outside. A vile force of evil. Voidspawn, and many of them. I knew not what would make of us, nor how many deaths we'd have this time around. It was the 12th of Felsite, I remember now.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
That was just the first wave, too.
Not to mention the trolls they brought us.
...
The battle went well. The trolls were slaughtered! I swear to Armok that Lolor the marksdwarf threw a troll! THREW HIM! A DAMNED MARKSDWARF THREW A TROLL! And a presser, who was holding bolts for some horrible reason, well that juicehead threw THOSE and killed that way! Udib was this presser's name. Udib Stelidreg. And though he was ordered to go inside, where we were hiding, he stayed out and valyantly killed the trolls with his bolts.
A week later and the attack was off. One dwarf died. A beekeeper.
That is all. Or it was all until Lolor, the marksdwarf who threw the troll was found dead. Many were missing. Probably dead. Guineacocks and kids, though, so no biggy.
Summer began. All was decent. Well, I found everything decent. The diplomat didn't. Because, well, it's hard to please a diplomat in a place where you basically walk on the bodies of fallen heros.
Not only am I still drunkish, but It's 1am. I don't have to work until I have a job, so I suppose I'm on vacation and will have time, but bluegh. I'm tired. I really haven't done this sort of thing before and I sort of feel out of my league playing with you guys. It isn't too hard to play, but playing DF with a bunch of people who play the same game completely differently is a bit awkward for me. MUEH I'll figure out how to do this sober (or not, we'll see).

I was bored of working, so I decided to enroll in the military. Those executive bastards made me captain of the bronze rights. All alone in my own squad. Meh. It would let me go exploring, and I was already good at cutting things down.
Except that I was put on the force the same moment a monster attacked.
It looked like a man with the head of a beast. Twas none other than a minotaur.

My damn luck.
Actually, my damn luck!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
A beast that could tear an ogre limb from limb was torn limb from limb by a dwarf! Well, a god I mean, but I digress.
I decided to use my new position to explore some of the ruins before. More specifically a certain lever that called to me from the darkness. I knew what it was, but not how one got there. Knowledge of the darksecrets of the past dwarves of my dear fort drove me. Pushed me forward.
Having picked up some steel gear and my favorite ax I dived downward like any decent dwarf. Past oceans of boiling stone and water I walzed, and past ghosts and broken dreams I crept, and past the crypt that held a creeping darkness I drove myself deeper.
I wandered into a room. A strange room. Between the deepest depths and the world above. I knew not what it was, but it was surely something.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
But I'd come back to that. At the moment discovering new terrain was much more important. I suppose discovering where that lead was also important, but I had time.
I suppose I had time. It took me nearly a month of walking to get to a stairway that everybody knew was already there. BUT WHEN I FINALLY DID get there, I could FINALLY star discovering again.
And what I found. Things no one needs to know existed. Horrible, awesome things. I saw things there that I want to forget.
Of course, now that I had seen them, the entire fortress had an idea how to get there. Hopefully they never would, and hopefully they wouldn't be told to. Two letters. V H. I knew not for what they stood.
I knew what it was, but not its cause. The labels that stood on the mechanics were definitely a thing of death, but for whom? My journey lead me back to the surface, or almost. The surface was walled off, but the enterance was still there.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The thing involved magma and pumps and a large canister, but more know I not.
...
Shorast has become withdrawn. He's a weirdo anyways. The guy wants to become a jewler! HA. Well good luck to 'em. Not really though. All he made was a perfect rubicelle. Dumbass.
When the humans came in mid Galena, the traders weren't really sure what to trade. Gems, sure, but nobody dare pick up and move any of the troll or voidspawn cages. They'd go for tons of money sure, but if one got loose it could spell disaster in deep red paint.
They didn't have anything good anyways, or so I heard. Some bronze bars for real cheap, which we bought, and some fruit to get the full value out of what we traded. We needed only trade gems, but in moving a cage, a lousman got loose. chek ur hats, doods. he cud b hidin der.
On the first day of autum the miners were all uppity about something. Some new shaft, one that went down real deep. I thought it might have something to do with the strange room, but I warn't sure.
There was a lack of flux stone. No steelwork was getting done. They fixed that up right quick and discovered an old tunnel in the process.
Hm. I'm not sure what to write in my journal. This year has been rather uneventful. A new kid was born today. Hopefully he'll die soon. I hate kids.
And so started sandstone...
Drinking had nothing to do with being a drunk overseer. I just enjoy drinking when I get home, and on vacation that's pretty much all the time.
Weren't too many pictures, but really nothing happened. Exploring around with Thorkild as a single military unit was fun, because there's some really useful things down there. I started my own secret plans after seeing the things that others before me had made. I don't know. I gotta get up early tomorrow. I probably would have finished it all tonight if I had time.

What's a little animal abuse between friends.
What's that? "fun" you say? What's that?
Is it anything like winning? No? It's not about winning? What's it about then?
"WELL, F IS FOR FORGOTTEN BEAST WHICH KILL US, TOGETHER"
" U IS FOR HUMAN SOLDIERS"
"N IS FOR NO HOPE AT EVER WINNING, HERE IN OUR GOOD OLD GAME"
That doesn't sound fun to me, in fact it sounds terrible.
Well you don't have to be RUDE about it, I would happily get out without you needing to add a "fuck" in there. Jesus.

Ha, so you found my V/H-arena!
To be honest I completely lost the main thread of this fort. I remember ass-shaped arena, voidpawns and Void God. That's all. Maybe that's too much re-posessions or too much beer. Anyway, If I'm not dorfed - dorf me ASAP. Kisses.

Not much really happened. The fortress kept keepin on, but more than that? Nothing. There had been problems with flux stone, so the people started mining for more. They weren't mining specifically for flux stone, it was simply part of a new hallway.
Then, we needed coal. So they mined for coal.
The dwarven caravan arrived. They werent pleased when we gave them all our gems for some steel. Whatever. May they get eaten by giant cave spiders on the way home.
I swear I saw a ghost follow Pitchblende, the dwarf who has.
You remember. He has.
Plop was possessed. Meh. Not as rad as having a mood, but whatever brings home the plump helmet roast. Took the leather works he did. It didn't work though. Apparently the ghost left the host.
A dwarf asked us what we wanted from the next caravan. I was told that our trader informed them that "We need jack shit from [those] guys." I guess they know whats best.
The in Obsidian (oh god how did winter pass so fast?) Udib, the presser who killed trolls with thrown bolts, kept screaming about how he couldn't find his way out of a perfectly clear hallway.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And then.
Disaster struck...
Right at the end of the year. RIGHT at the end of the year. A siege arrived.
Worse news too. We were losing.
Whereas the last siege fled when we killed the trolls, this time the spawn themselves stepped in.
In one day, a speardwarf, "Rmm" and a swordsdwarf named Libash, and Etur and Amost, marksdwarves were lost.
If it went on much longer, the soldiers on the surface would be locked up there and the ballistae would be fired. It would surely kill them, but if it could kill the spawn then maybe we had a chance. At this point, there were more of those monsters than trained dwarves.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
From our enemies. They say the enemy of my enemy is my friend, but in this case our they weren't even our enemies enemies. The siege was attacking itself!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
If they kept their little loyalty cascade kept working its magic, maybe they could kill themselves!
They piled on themselves. In one tiny area there were at least twenty of them ripping at each others throats! We had more than a chance, we had an advantage!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
That smoke didn't look too promising. What was that from? FIRE? NO NOT A FIRE!
Maybe we weren't safe...
Or were we? The flooring in our enterance would stop the fire. They made and attended their own cremation ceremony.

As for the loyalty cascade, I think it was because of the thralls. I've observed it in the arena, but I'm not positive if it shows up in dwarf mode: if a voidspawn bites someone, and that person survives and becomes a thrall while still fighting, it'll still be hostile to the voidspawn that created it. It looks like the voidspawn might be creating thralls and then fighting them, and thralls are damn tough.

In addition, I'm currently on vacation, and will have minimal play time for the next week.

Whispers in the dark....
It took me a long time, but my endeavors are slowly coming to fruition. I never before realized just how much I had been held back by the petty moralities of my fellow dwarf. Morality! Pfah! As if such sentiment was even relevant, given the magnitude of what I am trying to accomplish.
The Danger Room was quite a breakthrough in it all. I should have realized it sooner, but it took the collapse of the first fortress for the idea to truly sink in. Dwarves thrive in adversity. They grow strong with pain! The weak die, the strong survive and become stronger. That is nature. That is dwarf-kind! And so, whispers in the dark become the light of inspiration.
I had to dig deep to conceal my activities. They'll understand eventually, but the time for that is not yet at hand. The plan is simple, really. Begin early. Waste not a second of a Dwarf's life. And so they are refined, with claw and spear and fire. The children will grow amidst the wild dogs, and those that claw out from the ravening heap shall be strong by their very birth. And then they will be baptized. A baptism of fire, such that they will not fear the flames of hell nor the tips of spears, for their very skin shall be forged from the boiling blood of the deepest earth. They will train within a rain of blades, until they are nothing but hardened bone, steely muscle, and iron will. From twenty I will refine one. From a hundred will emerge five.
And then we will delve deep. They shall be clad in impervious adamantium, and in their hands will be hammers of purest silver. The red light of the molten depths will turn blue when reflected upon the axes they draw, and by that light the Voidspawn and the Demons and those blasted vermin kobolds will cower and flee.
They will be my Murdermachines, and they will know no fear.

Galena 262
I just received the strangest letter knownst to Dwarvenkind.
DEAR FRIEND
MY NAME IS ATIR INGISMUZISH, I AM THE KING OF THE CIVILISATION OF THE RAMPART OF TOURS. I HAVE THE MOST GENEROUS OFFER TO SHARE WITH YOU. AFTER THE SUDDEN DEATH OF THE LAST OVERSEER OF DEATHGATE, WE FIND NO NEXT OF KIN ALIVE (NOR SANE). WE THUS OFFER YOU THE FOLLOWING DEAL: BY TAKING THE POSITION OF OVERSEER AT DEATHGATE AND ASSUMING THE ROLE OF THE HEIR, YOU WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE TREMENDOUS WEALTH OF 2126390 DB, TO BE TRANSFERRED TO YOUR ACCOUNT. TO ENABLE THIS TRANSFER, WE JUST NEED YOU TO SEND 1000 DB, PREFERRABLY IN GIANT CAVE SPIDER SILK SOCKS, TO OUR ACCOUNTS AT THE NATIONAL BANK OF NIGRIRIA. THE ACCOUNT IS UNDER THE NAME OF SODEL ENSHALASTESH, TO CONFUSE THE TAX COLLECTORS - THE TREMENDOUS WEALTH YOU WOULD GET TRANSFERRED WOULD OTHERWISE BE COLLECTED ON BEHALF OF THE DWARVEN GOVERNMENT.
SINCERLY,
ATIR INGISMUZISH, KING
Having no reason to doubt the authenticity of the document (we all know our king to be... mad), I sent the required amount to his treasury (strange, why is it located in a civilisation called "NIGRIRIA" under the name of Sodel Enshalastesh?).
After not having heard back from our king, I decided to investigate. Gathering my last posessions, took my pickaxe and set off to the strange place of Usanstakud Nazushmestthos.
3rd of Granite, 263
Holy Armok! This place is a mess! I count not fewer than nine Ghosts, and there is a Voidspawn and his Thrall roaming the lands. The above-world has burnt, there are the slain of the strange Voidspawn and our best warriors' corpses, mangled, malformed, broken, lying in heaps, with blood stained ... everything. Armok, have mercy! Still, there seem to be vast treasures on the premises. It does not seem so bad. Maybe I can skim off something off the top and maybe shave of some slices from the sides without anyone realising and then be off. Of course, this means I do have to play the role of the heir to the throne of Deathgate for a while...
Wait a minute: We have almost no booze left? And no plants? ARGH!
OOC: yeah, everybody starts with "what a mess! I will at least clean up the surface". Let's see...
Unfortunately I have not yet managed to build a working LinDAc (Linear Duck Accelerator) in my test fort. I will improvise. This is no reason for concern.
5th of Granite, 263
With the Voidspawn slain I now order all Dwarves to get something to eat! Go and collect plants (and our rich harvest of four plump helmets...).
Edit: Continued post
9th of Granite
A forgotten beast has come. Let's hope there is no accessible path to the fortress proper from that cavern. It is a fire breathing Damselfly, named Lotheye Cematoricote.
10th of Granite
Somebody told me "only bloody peasants would harvest". I fixed that. That will teach them, the lazy basturds! The kids seem to be eager to haul in the food. Go, kids, go!
On a side note: Who thought to build the bridges such that one cannot see their state immediately? Crazy people... jeez.
OOC: My gods, the game is sloooower than a four day cricket test.
26th day of Granite
The first death occurred. 'Plop' died of thirst, and thirst is worse than homesickness!
OOC: I took this as the opportunity to update the dorfinator. All dorfs that are alive now show up as being alive. I will next tackle the problem of dorf souls looking for suitable vessels...
Edit: This does of course not mean that all listed as alive are indeed alive... I need to cross check that, too.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The Stoner is fighting like crazy!

Aand just when things get ugly, 'Derm' is taken by a Fey Mood... the moody one.
And 'Vendix', the Stoner, has burnt to death... not before severly wounding the abomination!
( redorfed as Vendix II)
Finally the VoidGod arrives and "blocks the fire". Wow. And hacks the FB into tiny itty bits. His Mighty Axe now carries the name of "Emadthosbut"!

21st day of Slate
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Dravek was the first (named) Dorf to be maimed by the Macelord. The 'Sniper' got wounded, but the VoidGod arrived on the scene. The 'Goremaster' is chipping in (and chopping off bits). We really need more masterworked steel axes. I will order a bunch as soon as this madness is over.
I now realized wy nobody wanted to pull the lever (there's one above ground): A tree has grown in the path. Dammit! Let's see where the other one is.
23rd day of Slate
strange, the lever got pulled but the other Voidspawn are still running towards our gate... but since it was only a Thrall, he got captured in the cage traps.
More bodies are found outside:
Maxwell Edison
14th day of Felsite
an Elven caravan... let's prepare for the Voidspawn ambush that is sure to follow... send all Dwarves inside! Militia: to you posts!
... friggin' hippies! Some wood slipped through and now they refuse to trade. Well, we can deal with that. Guards, seize them!
Litlbear fell to a Goblin Ambush... sorry, mate!
The CARPLord fares much better, he killed a SwordGobbo and a SpearGobbo! I definitely need to find better Warhammers, I think Silver is even denser than iron and nice and shiny! Plus we have a Legendary weaponsmith who needs work.
28th day of Felsite
There is still some leak to the caverns, two Elk Birds are roaming the fort. One got the Heater, he is bleeding but can hopefully be rescued. I let the military deal with it, they can need the training.

Spring report of Deathgate II
Achievements:
Did not accidentally the fort

Yeah yeah yeah, that's what *I* said. Then I let KOBOLDS destroy the fort.
Naw, really, place is a godforsaken mess to the point that not only have daemons of madness infiltrated the place, we're on a first-name basis with them. Not a one of us really knows what's going on; the surface of the fort is littered with a king's ransom in discarded loot and garbage that's better guarded than an emperor's vault by the fact that anything going outside the walls is summarily eaten by the spawn of the void itself. The greatest minds of a generation have bent themselves to building such projects as an arena for the ultimate battle between Hell and Nonexistence Itself, then left them untended to brew rum. The walls of the fort are tainted things that ooze mighty monsters like poisonous blood. Our only hope lies in the living avatar of destruction, who occasionally hooks up with the ghosts of our fallen and leaves ruin and desecration in his wake. We are men who build entire self-sustaining perpetual-motion generators out of wood and rock to power single millstones. We are men who design monstrosities to paradrop waterfowl into the pits of doom.
So, what I'm saying is, you'll fit right in. Go for it, sparky.

Re: Stuff on surface
well, at least what is close to the entrance is accessible. The VoidSpawn did not attack too often and I lost only four or five dwarves to them...
OK, here's my update until the end of Autumn
I feel.... uneasy. Just as if somebody had walked over my grave. Oh, right, that was me. I found my tomb. It was occupied, by a corpse, thank Armok, not a ghost. I died just last month. Strange - why am I here then? I remember something about voices... voices in the dark... calling me, taunting me, dragging me hither and thither.. and then, a deep fall.
This is usually the point when I wake up screaming in the dead of night.
I guess... I will better try and investigate the maze of twisting passages, all alike beneath the fortress. Keeping busy will keep my mind from wandering, wondering about the dreams. Keeping busy will hopefully make me tired, so that I can fall into a dreamless sleep.
OOC: my dorf... died. Again.
7th day of Hematite
A runner just brought me the message that Derm finally left his lair in the forge. He made something... well... more or less useful. A left lead gauntlet. "Daleowns the Hollow Assembly" he calls it.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
A second runner came by and toled me a kid got killed. There still is an Elk Bird around. I NEED TO FIND THAT HOLE. OTHERWISE THE GRUE WILL COME AND EAT ME.
Great news! I have met my fellow surgeon, Sodel Enshalastesh. Some people call him mad and a fool, but he seems to be the right experimental sort of type. He just seems obsessed with socks, which is a good thing to see in a dwarf.
14th day of Hematite
*slightly different handwriting*
My colleague has shown me the sock collection... it is most interesting, as it contains many a fine speciman of foot inside the sock. He plans showing me his newest plans, as we need a new breed of soldiers to fight the void spawn. They call him MAD, but we will SHOW them!
Embrace the darkness of the night!
15th day of Malachite
VESSELS have arrived, new flesh for our FIGHT against the VOID
3rd day of Galena
Fungin has been found dehydrated. We need to get the well up and running!
12th day of Galena
A human caravan. Let's hope they have BOOZE. RUM for the RUM GOD!
18th day of Galena
A Voidspawn 'Snatcher', a 'Patriarch Master Thief' has arrived and run into a Milker named Amost Oddomkubuk. He is doomed. His own bloody fault, innit? He is getting maimed with a browm recluse spider silk bag, kind of sad...
OOC: yeah, they do send snatchers... however, thralls are not trapavoid so we now have a small collection of those. I started transporting them downstairs to the A
23rd day of Galena
The Voidspawn ambushg I have been waiting for! A Fisherdwarf go caught outside, getting smacked in his head. I ordered a lockdown of the Fort. It is mostly Thralls, that are not really dangerous, but there is also a Drone Hammerlord.
My fellow surgeon and I are making great discoveries. The bones of the Voidspawn seem to be extraordinarily strong. Combining these with the alcohol-driven machinery of the Dwarven body with a suitable driver in the seat, so to speak, shall deliver a new breed of soldiers. We shall be able to overcome the invasion from the Void.
Maybe we can also find help from that which lurks below? Rumours are told of a fortress that settled the nether regions, driving out the hordes from don under - or was that in a different time - a different universe, long ago, far away? I can hear it beckoning from inside an impenetrable prision, scratching the walls, clawing, tentacling along - ah, those times.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
OOC: I started unveiling some very promising looking adamantine veins, I do not have the patience to set up the correct stockpiling system so that the hospital does not use the strands to patch up the wounded (or maybe we do want that), so I leave the stuff untouched. The next one can have a go. There is a stockpile for raw adamantine with a craftsdwarf workshop next to it that I intended to be used to process it.
14th day of Sandstone
My colleague and I are now planning to move downstairs to the training area for our supersoldier program, to oversee the development of our new weapon. After all, the task has been given to us to evolve Dwarvenkind! The combination of new structural enhancements and the souls of our old combat comrades will prove to be INVINCIBLE. And to think that they call us MAD, we will SHOW them, HAHAHAHA!!
Through Fire and Pain and Madness, a new race shall be bred!
23rd day of Sandstone
Migrants have arrived. And a migrane... I get these headaches, you don't? There are fell voices in the wind, calling out.
5 migrants and 1 kid
Imush Kolor has been posessed. The voices were right! He proceeded by claiming a Mason's workshop. Let's see what happens.
A coffin. How very fitting! (boring, nothing special on it, so no screen cap)
The days are getting short again, it is now the 15th day of Timber. I shall order all Dorfs inside the fortress proper. I guess with the Dwarven Caravan will again come the Spawn of the Void.
Finally, on the 16th day of Timber, both the outpost liason Ùshrir Dallithatel and the Caravan from the Dwarven Citadel have arrived. I do hope they bring tons of good stuff, like rum, wine, booze and maybe also something to drink. Despite my constant nagging, the id10ts here only run around doing weird stuff instead of brewing drinks. I already ordered four new stills to be built. Let's hope the plant production can keep up!
I will dump all of the XXpigtail socksXX on the traders (figuratively speaking). I might also think about doing it literally with the next bunch of Bad Guys coming here. Yes, constructing a retracting bridge above the entrance with some pressure plates might work. We have to define a new choke point though, the current pathway to the entrance is trapped to the Netherworlds and back. I guess I will construct a new Shield Wall, defining a new defensive perimeter.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Well, that was a haul. The fort is thriving and growing, drink situation is ok, thanks to the Dwarven caravan. I have locked the fort so that nobody can come inside and I hope that the hauling backlog inside the fort can be cleared somewhat (well, who am I kidding? The Hauling Never Stops). Also we need to bring all of the stuff to the Depot (THNS). There are plants withering (THNS) and slabs to be erected (I'm down to two ghosts! again THNS).
I also constructed a new entry bridge. It throws stuff but now I can actually see if it is open or close without having to think about the lever and its state!

Well, I am halfway through winter... nothing has happened - yet. Construction of the new shield wall is slow - THNS - and I fear that I should expect a Voidspawn siege any moment now. Final update either during the WE (not very likely, sorry) or Monday morning (latest).

Quote from: The Mad Fool
Hey, gunpowdertea, how's the now-not-so-secret lab working?
I am currently constructing small offices and bedrooms for my dear colleague and me. I also started the stockpiling of socks and feet, so that we have... materials available. Somebody already made a magma-bath, so the melting-of-fat and stuff can begin. I would wait until we get enough Demon bones to build fine exoskeletons, though.
I will also construct some chains to keep our spawn safe from voidspawn snatchers.

Oops, the Liason is still running around and following our Dear Leader 'Goat'. I will do something about that later.
I have now forced the 'Goat'-Mayor to finally meet the outpost liason. It is one thing not to care about the outside world but another thing to insult those who send more
Esports:
- spears
- goblets
- rings *
- prepared meals *
- seeds
- shields/bucklers **
- splints **
- leather waterskins *
- crowns
- meat **
- cut gems **
(demand is denoted by: ** = ----O, * = ---O-, rest is lower)
That might give the next guv' a chance to dump the shields of the attackers on the caravan. Or maybe better melt them, at least the steel ones...
Maybe better make goblets and crafts, those can be made for cheap and usually fetch a good price. However, the stockpiling for crafts is even a greater mess than for food (which I might have added to), so somebody for the love of Armok, please fix those!
25th day of Opal
Those friggin Yakdrivers! They don't seem to be used to ICE that MELTS. Yeah, no wonder, they do have Yaks and thos live high up in them mountains... either slaughter them or get them going... but how...
Ok, draining the lake does not help... maybe... building some ramps or carvind out slopes?
14th day of Obsidian
Finally, the seasonal Voidspawn ambush happened. They caught Fungin, the Heater outside. Three thrall axemen and a voidspawn soldier axelord... oops. And an unnamed (well... Mebzuth Ablelmeban) who got killed first. However, our Kobold Torturer looks like he can do it. He shatters the Voidspawn Axelord's hands, with his crutch.
Finally, the voidspawns pile up over the Heater and he succumbs to the attacks. The Voidspawn are then slain by our Glorious Military, of course the Void God is at the forefront.

Murdermachines: We have treasures of the ages piled around the fort in heaps of rotting garbage and flesh. We've created a home for a malevolent deity of ill fortune who seems predisposed to strike at us, the players, directly, in a way not seen since the days of the Virtual Boy. Our riches are guarded, not by traps or dwarven steel, but by the fact that the surface around us is so full of the murderous, the insane, and the murderously insane that one group of looters merely gets massacred by a group of marauders, and that's before the horrible abominations against nature trundle through and decapitate and/or assimilate the survivors. We have seen kobolds become conquerors, seen the very walls fracture and crumble before unnatural misfortune and poor forethought, and placed all our hopes in a batch of tortured, soulless children and the literal avatar of annihilation itself, because every other God worth mentioning turned away from us in horror a long, long time ago. Our home is no more and no less than a beacon of slaughter, a living, breathing organism that eats life, drinks hope, and shits misery as every sentient race in the known world gathers here to offer their best and bravest at the altar of Terry.

Murdermachines: We have treasures of the ages piled around the fort in heaps of rotting garbage and flesh. We've created a home for a malevolent deity of ill fortune who seems predisposed to strike at us, the players, directly, in a way not seen since the days of the Virtual Boy. Our riches are guarded, not by traps or dwarven steel, but by the fact that the surface around us is so full of the murderous, the insane, and the murderously insane that one group of looters merely gets massacred by a group of marauders, and that's before the horrible abominations against nature trundle through and decapitate and/or assimilate the survivors. We have seen kobolds become conquerors, seen the very walls fracture and crumble before unnatural misfortune and poor forethought, and placed all our hopes in a batch of tortured, soulless children and the literal avatar of annihilation itself, because every other God worth mentioning turned away from us in horror a long, long time ago. Our home is no more and no less than a beacon of slaughter, a living, breathing organism that eats life, drinks hope, and shits misery as every sentient race in the known world gathers here to offer their best and bravest at the altar of Terry.
Nietzsche wrote, "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friends, we are not he who fights monsters. We are not he who gazes into the abyss.

Arena is almost ready. Good.Well, we need some balconies for our populace to watch. Maybe put the "better seats" right where the action is. If you don't then I will when my turn comes around again... maybe put some chains in there so that the spectators don't interfere with the performance too much?

No Battery?! No Duck-a-tron?! UNACCEPTABLE!!!Build the LinDAc? I wanted to, but then I got distracted (I still wonder why...). I agree it is not yet the unmanageable mess DGI was in the end, but there might still be some older tunnels left from before the reclaim that never got patched up and are yet to be rediscovered... that kept me on my toes for a while. The BATTEREY will cause some FPS issues for me though. I only have a netbook to game on during my commute. Meh, whatever.

Also,is there a way to incorporate this trope somewheres?
"Fantastic Fragility
Everything has a weakness, every lock has a key, every curse a loophole, and the flaw will come into play to bring down the device.
This applies to basically every "immovable object" and "unstoppable force" in fiction, be they objects, characters, science, or magic. The idea is twofold: inside the story, the creator of the device or technique may incorporate a Necessary Drawback that will make it stronger, while the author gives the protagonists (or antagonists) a way to defeat it and maintain suspense and narrative flow by limiting the Deus ex Machina.
When justified in a setting, it's usually explained that magic is not free, and the only way to make an unstoppable whatever is to, ironically, build in a weakness that makes it stoppable. Clever creators may even keep the weakness a secret to use in case the machine (or person) should be turned against them. Others may try to make it an Impossible Task.
It can be a key to an Tailor-Made Prison, a physical weak point, not being able to harm virgins or the like, or a Curse Escape Clause. If the weakness is a Power Source, Soul Jar, or a form of remote control, destroying the "Keystone" destroys the device/weapon/person/army.
See Also Celestial Deadline, Necessary Drawback, and Power at a Price. Compare Achilles Heel, which is this for creatures/characters"
I'm thinking the Voidspawns inability to use armour might count as this. If, ARMOK FORBID, The Voidgod gets killed, it will probably also be this.

Yeah, the animal stockpile down there takes all void creatures. The one closer to the top takes gobbos and stuff.

So this lady here showed up with the ambushers and died after killing two thralls. The remaining three decide to kill one of themselves just because it's funny. The remaing two start moving towards our gates. They won't cause any problems.
At the same time a voidspawn snatcher appears right in front of Anima. Seconds later, most of his teeth and essential body parts are scattered around him in a radius of ten tiles.

At the moment our entire military is scattered around the fortress, trying to gather their equipment. And the gates are still open. Aaaaand.... The Void God was just standing there on his own for a few days. Maybe he got bored, I don't know. But suddenly he decided to hunt for small animals, because appereantly, he was starving. And because of that he... left his post in front of our gates. And charged right into a voidspawn squad. I repeat, on his own. And it looks like he got so tired from getting hit in the head by a mace, that he decided to take a nap.
TL;DR: we are so fucked right now.
...Shit.

That's the outcome of being so arrogant to leave all the defence on Void God.To be fair, I didn't. I sent everybody up there, Anima just arrived way before the others.
So did the Void God actually die or is he just napping in a warzone?DEAD?! Nonono, he's just taking a break from being alive.
Btw, I irrigated the farms without killing everyone. Best overseer ever.

The fact that the greatest evil in the world was the mortal incarnation of our patron deity and his death probably removes our military from viability as a fighting force notwithstanding.
On the upside, I suspect we can look forward to a massively increased death rate among military dorfs, with plenty of lulzy stories for all. It's been a while since we got a Krosan killed and I'm going to be mildly annoyed if people start catching up to my incarnation count!

It will be your last.
On the upside, I suspect we can look forward to a massively increased death rate among military dorfs, with plenty of lulzy stories for all.This is the third time I wiped out our entire military. lulzy enough? :P
One question - HOW in the hell did you manage to kill Void God? He survived five voidspawn while stark naked, I didn't think he could die.I have no idea. He kind of doomed himself by running into an armed voidspawn squad for no apparent reason. He was fully clothed though and he had his artifact steel axe with him. He even managed to kill half of his enemies (about five) before... you know. Maybe he got weakened by the bath he took with the cyclops?
Oh, wait, I don't think I told you about that in detail. Funny story. While fighting the cyclops Anima dodged into a small lake on the surface. The cyclops followed him, they took a bath, had a nice time and then the cyclops died. Honestly, I thought the Void God was going to drown there. Here have some screenshots! The one in the spoiler tag depicts the voidwraiths great leader in his... not-alive-being glory. Nothing for sensible people.

2. I made some digging designations which won't be finished during my turn. Some of them are useful, so you shouldn't delete them. For example, one gives the dwarves the possibility of reaching the magmapumpstack without having to go through the room which is supposed to be filled with lava.
3. I am contructing a pyramid made of pure gold in the same caves the new farms are in. It won't be finished though. Just so you know where you can find some gold in case you run out of it (not likely, we still have tons of that stuff).

So, now we must choose who will succeed the Void God's steel axe?I think it should only be wielded by somebody who is atleast as powerful or terrifying as the vg, but if you survive going to the surface it's yours I guess. Which brings us to the next 'problem'. We can't bury him without opening the gates and unless we engrave him a slab we'll have the honour of dealing with his ghost.

He was the linchpin of our entire defensive strategy, a one-beard army who singlehandedly kept the fort from being overrun by the constant traffic of horrible things that roam outside the walls.
It was only a matter of time, is what I'm saying. This is Dwarf Fortress, something stupid was eventually going to kill him.

I reassigned some jobs to make the best use of the remaining survivors. Most are either farmers or masons now, because 1. that's what we need so we don't get torn apart by the next forgotten beast and 2. they don't have any other useful skills anyway. My unfinished golden temple now serves as Anima's unfinished tomb. If somebody ever dares to open the gates to the surface ever again he'll get to lay in Kat Asdug, our artifact gypsum coffin, which adorns with spikes of voidspawn bone. And it's yellow and looks like it's made out of gold too.

Just, you know, replace some of the word with words like 'pain', 'hunger', and 'internal bleeding' and randomly throw in the phrase 'WHY IS THE RUM GONE?!'.
it is important to note that suddenly and against all probability a dwarf had been called into existence several miles below the surface of murdermachines. and since this is not a naturally tenable position for any living thing this short and sturdy creature had very little time to come to terms with it's identity...

What in God's name is KILLING them all? Is it a tantrum spiral? Forgotten beast actually actively loose?Remember the last forgotten beast? The one with the poisonous one? It never left the underground caves alive, but it somehow managed to poison almost every single dwarf in the entire fort. Those who didn't suffocoate within the first few months got paralyzed and died of dehydration. We had a hundred dwarfs. A hundred. We are at seventeen now. This is just like the Ambassador-incident, just without all the blood.
Some dwarves are tantruming from time to time but we can survive this unless another forgotten beast shows up. I am still trying to secure the underground, but the dwarves are just to slow.

Thing that come to mind:
- Dig and barricade somewhere in the shelter with tested supplies (no mor eggs allowed!) and spend time mastering weapon skills. When we're ready, we'll face the goblin horde and show them what a dwarves made of!
- Forget about outside, carve coffins, bury deads.
- Throw all our animals outside, let the gobbos play.
- Throw voidspawn captives outside, tlet THEM play with gobbos.
The Troll-Ye-Coaster is not available at this time :(
Also, I found a lone goblin spearman who's made inside. He wanders up at the walls, probably deep terrified by what he've seen here and gathers his courage to jump down, back to his brothers.

And here comes elven caravan. Fuck you, assholes, I'm not opening the gate to anyone but migrants.
Oh crap. We have a sadistic ghost who've scared to death a turkey.
And the lone goblin pikeman killed a few animals with his pike.
And here comes summer.

Well, I can't really blame him, considering that most of the fort has encountered death by bad eggs.
I'd say that the Void God is liable to raise and start slaughtering our entire military out of revenge for abandoning him, but the FB beat him to it.
We should come up with a snappy name for that thing, by the way. Gecko with oval-shaped overlapping scales...
EGGPLATE?
EGGBOSS?
EGGSCALES?
I like EGGBOSS myself.

Basically, Dwarf Fortress-level screwed. I'm not even sure if a reclaim is possible; does anyone know if messes like FB gunk stick around or are dropped when the site is retired? If a reclaim would clean it then maybe we can move on.
At least the next reclaim won't spawn into the middle of World War II.

Fungin ended his mandate and proclaimed me quilty for failing it. I should be jailed for 101 day, but there's no guards here, asshole!
And later he demanded he wants a bismuth bronze bed in his office. I just have no words. Also he banned the export of swords.
And we have another forgotten beast from depth. It's one-eyes lacewing with round shell and it shoots webs. I think we're safe from it for now, since we locked every hole... oh shit! There's another passage from cave fishery works! block it now!
Fine. And that crazy goblin is locked at corpse stockpile. Forget about him. Our primary task is to make coffins and bury deads.

WE MUST CAPTURE WEBWING.Sure thing, but not now.
What kind of web does a FB even leave behind?
I have an idea to capture it and leave it guarding the VoidGod's tomb. But we need more hands - mostly a miner to dig out the capture thing, a mechanic to operate it, and a few more builders to finish the tomb.
It leaves "forgotten beast silk" stuff. I think we should combine it with silk farm.

Human merchants came to trade. We didn't open the gate, but voidspawn ambush met them instead. Caravan guards fought back, but fell, and voidspawn killed all the rest. Unfortunately their poison doen't affect humans and horses, I am so disappointed.

A few words on how the things going.The closest thing we have to what some call 'allies' gets slaughtered in front of our gates. Unfortunately they don't transform into mindless beasts, trying to kill us.

Are you sure? I thought I've seen lots of weird stuff get enthralled.
Did it actually give some kind of message, or did they just poison but not get a thrall? Because if that's the case they probably killed the thing before the poison kicked in, it's delayed.

There were conbat log records about abyssal taint injected into horse's blood and then they pursued that horse all over the map. I think there passed enough time for the transformation to take effect.Unfortunately their poison doen't affect humans and horses, I am so disappointed.

Still if we do fall, lets do it in dorf style...Dig out the candy and unleash the demon hordes from hell into the clutches of the voidspawn! itll be a heck of a ride...or they might actually run from us...because we all know what happened the last time we breached hell...they might even run away from us because we dug on by to say hello!

At least the surviving dwarves dont have to worry about the Mad Fool teaming up with the ChaosMaker and well..leave it to your imaginations....its a very dwarfy thing to do...only instead of just the pain burrow...make it EVEN worse...by adding turkeys everywhere...and possibly if its ever added stichign dwarves into adamantium armour...semi permamently at least....

The FB wasn't butchered. A lot of EGGUANA "extract" got liberated from his body when the military killed him and somehow it got tracked to the pantry; probably some military idiot who didn't die took a coating of goo to the pantry and smeared it on the food before he croaked. The egg roasts are perfectly fine aside from the coating of extremely deadly paralytic contact poisons.

Turkeys? No. The official mascots of Deathgate are ducks and deer innards. (Not deer, mind; just the squishy bits you find inside.)
Which reminds me: We really need a DUCKOTRON capable of deploying ducks out onto the field...
oh...
God...
We REALLY need to do this, if only because we could absolutely fill the surrounding countryside with roving thralls and REALLY discourage goblin traffic.
Post by: ChaosMaker on October 17, 2013, 10:09:04 am
Its glorious!!! we reallyu need the ducktron....and then to unleash hell upon the world!!! in the form of raining ducks! and also hell itself should be invaded by the ducktron. we really never deployed it in Deathgate.
meh im thinking we need some kind of shower system for the dwarves when they go underground or somthing...because at this rate were going to be killed by the extract before we even get to hell! (anyone thinking we should either go back a few months to avoid the extract death sequence? because dieing that way isnt dorfy!...at least in my chaotic veiw of how dwarves should die!)
Good luck to the guy thats playing right now...your going to need it!!!
Note:it would really suck if the fort falls to FB extract right now...we survived voidspawn, goblins, breached hell, got slaughtered by kolbolds,built the battery, unleashed the ducktron and created Darkwing the netherfowl....or did we? Is it possible the Mad Fool was "Experimenting" while we werent paying attention on ducks?
....you guys really shouldnt let chaosmaker and the madfool be together in the same vincinity...otherwise we might turn the dwarven fortress into a stiched adamantium Kindergarden tramatized badasses that think the worse dangerroom is a playpen!
Post by: peregarrett on October 17, 2013, 02:46:44 pm
We lost the only guy who knew how to handle a pick. I guess it's a ghost who killed him - we have a number of angry ghosts here. We're making slabs, but since no one knows masonry well it's a slow job. Ghosts are popping out faster than we're putting them to rest - thanks to deads that are outside.
Speaking of them, there were dwarven caravan and a liaison. And there were voidspawn ambush. I think I saw a yak of merchants who transformed into thrall and ran away somewhere.
No sign of migrants.

definetly going to check out deathgate 3...hopefully its more !FUN! packed then before...will the voidspawn and the undead for a ELE-GOB-boatmurdered alliance? they do hate all life...and thank goodness they cant undead...or VoidGate would be Slaughtered relentlessly....
im thinking as soon as we get to the place (depending on whats going on) we either tunnel into the moutains and dont look back or we tunnel underground as deep as we can go for dirt area for our crops and STAY the hell down there...if we ever expand ensure theres a roof over the dwarves heads so they dont get sick from seeing the sky and fear of falling upwards...*dragonage pun...that part of it is hilarious...*

We may reclaim. It would theoretically be easier to do this time, even without the Void God; we probably won't be reclaiming into the middle of WWIII, at the very least.Or I can use Putnam's script that summons migrants.
Post by: ChaosMaker on October 18, 2013, 12:10:55 am
Note on reclaim:floor off the top of our walled structure...flying things could just go over our walls...if we add another level we can also floor that and add fortifications to it...every one or two spaces so that way our dwarves can have a clear firing line at those pesky voidpsawn when they invade!!! they dont have bowmen do they? ALso with all the goblins running around we could make a firing line for our ballistas...and failing that with out walled off strucutre we could pump lava into certain parts of the hallways and burn the miscrenets to bits...and voidspawn if were careful enough.
Also another note i thought of why not make a ditch around the fort and fill it with water? or at least pump magma and leave a spot for a drawbridge...would certainly keep out unwanted visitors on the top. in otherwords when will we start getting platinum for currency? (maybe when before we breach hell?) because i hate having to trade socks for a doomburger every time i get in line at the meeting room....sure its a great commodity for our fort but we cant trade socks with the outside world!! the exchange value of a sock sucks during these times with all the voidspawn running loose! Damn ruins the encomany that it does! Cant get MaTEriALS tO WoRK WiTh!!!
Good luck with the fort guys! hopefully i can get out of the damn void soon...feel like

Or we can pray to Anima for use of a nova/cleansing fire of the void to wipe the enemies from the map to let migrants in as a one time deal only thing...because lets face it, allot of adamantium supplies are on the surface...and we just cant seem to get to them due to the constant attacks of voidspawn (while fun also proves annoying when overseers try to reclaim our precious stuff in preperation for a second colonization of hell!) and besides, some overseers now have exp in attacking and claiming hell! all we need to do is insure that we use the kindergarden and the voidspawn tagret practice range and the demons will learn to think twice about attacking our fort! plus the mad-fool could revive Darkwing the netherfoul! or make a second incarnation...

Hall of Legends isn't a fort, it's a compilation of the most legendary forts. Of course it's in first for views.
So, we now have these choices:As sorry as I am for you ( watching 4 dwarves die slowly is probably alot less entertaining than watching a hundred die slowly ), I'd stick to trying to survive as long as possible, even if there are now chances of survival. Not sure if we should build somewhere else. Let Anima decide when the time comes.

It's 16th Obsidian and we have gobbo siege here.
Ok, my turn is over. Last 4 dwarves are trying to make enough slabs and coffins. Everyone has masonry and engraving labors enabled, and stone/furniture/corpse hauling.
Caverns are sealed, so no danger from beasts. Maybe best choice if to abandon and reclaim - if we release captured voidspawn beforehand, we'll get random fight between them and 'friendly' gobbos

And yes whens the next update on the misadventures and chaotic hellish lives of our Dwarf Incarnations? i wish to See Chaosmaker get his head torn off by either a clown or a FB...or at least die in a dwarvenly mega-awsome way of holding back an entire tide of demons with the Red Monster Sword
He may not have even been dorfed yet. we got no vessels.

I know....sad aint it? Sigh...damn WW2 batlefeild...also damn tourists for spawning so damn fast, their probably heralding the extinction of dwarves at an early time. still at least we didnt fall to the goblins yet...then again kolbolds got to us last time. Heres to hoping we dont die horribly just yet, i want to see everyone dorfed and then thrown into a mash into hell...maybe we can make a sort of passage way for the clown car to get to the surface and let them fight the tourists and see who wins? if anything we can cover ourselves with artifact hatchcovers and lockdown the fort untill either the clowns or the tourists win, then pick off the winners with bolts. Plus we can have a massive graveyard on the surface for the clowns and the tourists so that way everyone knows who rules these damn lands! (even the elves will bow before us!!! damn pointy arrogant pointy eared tree huggers!!!)
i wonder if we can eventually turn murdermachines into a dwarven kingdom? (have the nobles in 4x4 rooms filled with gold objects and a personal tomb somewhere...itll shut them up for awhile yet!!!) and if we get a dwarf king...well...i think we all know whos taking that poor sod!!! Souls for The Void God!!!

So, what exactly is up with the egg roasts?
Basically, a Forgotten Beast spewed poison everywhere and it got on the egg roasts somehow. People subsequently died when they ate them.

I don't know, for example, if "incompetence" is the word, but I nearly killed DG1, allowed demons to breach the Hellbunker on like two different occasions, and wound up actually having to savescum at one point because I fucked up so bad. (I gave myself a bye on that one; my first time running a community fort, I called it a learning experience). All because I was trying to build a self-contained duck hatchery with troop deployment capability.
I FREAKING SUCCEEDED BY THE WAY. (note: Metrics for "SUCCESS" do not include combat-worthiness of deployed soldiers, and so the crippling injuries inflicted on any such troops totally do not count)
I have no idea what Yuli is on, either, but dude managed to kill the entire population of Murdermachines twice. So far as I'm concerned, I can't really tell if that makes him the worst DF player ever or the best. Either way it led to some beautiful moments. Losing a community fort to freakin' kobolds because of the infrastructure damage and poor defensive layout of the fortress was one of the crowning achievements of my gaming career.
Post by: TalonisWolf on October 23, 2013, 11:56:13 am
Flood the lower levels? Hey, Sewer System complete with Sewer Crocs!
Wait, flooded with Magma? Always wanted an Volcano Lair!
Legendary Dwarf die? Annoying, but at least you know how the saga ends.
Tantrum Spiral? The survivors won't ever give a d@&$ about worker reform again!
Besides, it provides a challenge for the OCD and Logistical Overseers to overcome.
So, come to the flame, incompetents, and learn the value of !!FUN!!

I'm not sure when this will happen.
still annoyed at winzip...do i need it to use DF? (not used to downloading games online)I can't recall whether the save files are normally rarred or zipped, but either way you'd be best served getting 7zip or another multi-purpose archive manager, rather than winzip. Also, recent versions of Windows can read zip files without the need for third party tools.
EDIT: I've added the deaders to the Dead Book. Sadly I don't know how these dwarves died, but at least now you can check and see if your dwarf is still alive. (Hint: S/he's not.)

...dreams are the worst of it. The blackened sky behind a blacker tower; the gaunt, withered voidspawn hunched over an old book; everywhere ruin, death, and decay, even when the dreams carry me back to the mountains of my home; giant wheels and rumbling machinery; wandering lost and alone in endless empty caves; the screams of a dying deer; torrents of water cascading down, down, down, and drowning... drowning... drowning; murderous ghosts; and a black temple beneath a blood red sky surrounded by a thousand thousand screaming horrors... And there's someone else. Someone watching me. Following me. I don't know what any of it means, but I've dreamed it so many times I've lost any chance of forgetting.
I've managed to stay awake for two weeks now... dreams are still fresh in my mind, but I haven't had any new ones, and the feeling of being watched has faded. But I don't think I can last much longer.
-----
A terrible scream echoed down the stairwell. Urist McDead glanced irritably back up in the direction of the scream. "Och, what is it now."
A few flights up, he found Astath trembling on the floor, head in hands. "Eh, y'all right?"
One last tremor passed through him, and Astath stilled. He slowly lowered his hands and raised his eyes to Urist. His dead, black eyes. "Yes. I am fine."
"Mmm. If'n y'say so," replied Urist. "Say, never did catch y'name."
Astath paused for a moment, considering. With a cold smile, he answered, "Irony. My name is Irony."

I knew something was off when I saw the slaughtered guineafowl littering the ramps, but I didn't think much of it. This is a strange and violent world, and I assumed the guineacocks had been fighting each other. Even if a few of the cuts did seem a little too clean...
(http://puu.sh/51yum.png)
When I reached the surface, of course, I realized what I had been seeing. I remembered the small, crooked footprints, the right size but all the wrong shape for a dwarf... That and many other things flashed through my mind. Like my entire previous life.
Running headfirst into a troll does that.
(http://puu.sh/51yKT.png)
(http://puu.sh/51yQm.png)
This is so unfair. I'd only just managed to force my will on this body and destroy the previous occupant! And now it's back, back to the void...
-----
The remaining dwarves prepare for a courageous last stand:
(http://puu.sh/51zhC.png)
Urist McDead is the first to encounter the enemy.
(http://puu.sh/51zos.png)
I'm sure he'll do fine. He's a master of the combat arts, after all.
(http://puu.sh/51zsH.png)
Hmm, well... He blocked a strike! That's good, right?
(http://puu.sh/51zzH.png)
Ah. Ahem. I don't know if he's going to get up after that one.
(http://puu.sh/51zxb.png)
Hey, I know that ghost.
(http://puu.sh/51zCe.png)
Now if only he'd turn that murderous rage into something useful. :/
-----
One of the goblins has breached the nesting grounds. Perhaps the guineafowl will be our salvation?
(http://puu.sh/51zIU.png)
Come on, little chicks, you can do it! Don't mind the dogs getting slaughtered in the next room.
(http://puu.sh/51zPC.png)
....
I don't suppose the arena cages were ever hooked up to a lever?
-----
The goblins have reached the main upper halls:
(http://puu.sh/51A4x.png)
Hmm. It might actually be possible to save Squidman... Fungin II is as good as dead. Serves him right for sleeping when the fortress is being invaded. And when there are six corpses in his dining room.
-----
Maybe I was wrong about Fungin II:
(http://puu.sh/51AtK.png)
Most of that blood is goblin blood. Well, and some animal blood.
(http://puu.sh/51Axg.png)
Still, would be nice if Squidman would hurry it up...
(http://puu.sh/51AEe.png)
Yes! One down, 50 bajillion to go. And Squidman is 100 levels down...
-----
Time to see how Fungin II fares against a troll. Well, a mob of trolls. But there's only one in this screencap.
(http://puu.sh/51ARN.png)
EDIT: Er, none in this screenshot. He's on one of the blocks (those sort of square things).

One dwarf left.

anyway on a civilizxed note...why didnt you build somthing akin to the battery? i have an excuse as a newb to dwarf fortress..keep losing my fort due to oversights...(made a new note today...lots of plump helmat spawn=more plump helmats....which means more food and and drink...yeah im a terrible overseer...plus dwarf therapist hasnt been working right!!! keeps saying that stuiped thing cant be found...damn game...all well ill be back on it in 2-4 weeks from now...back in job corps :P)
good luck with the fort people! if this keeps on going...well...i can safely say i challenge us deathgate people to last 50 YEARS in dwarf time for one fort...and experiance every setback possible against the fort (note:dont accidentally the fort or activly try to kill it by haviong badass dwarves go evil like hollistic detective...we dont need a zombie apocolapse here! were bad enough and our spawn are worse then the hollistic spawn!
also reclaim everyone!! also...how did the goblins get in? did you suddenly decide to not go out by spawn?
if so....

Goblin master thief has cut a thrall in halves with iron dagger. Wow.

Now I think it's quite reclaimable. While their a busy with each outher dwarves can burrow underground and kill the survivors. Better splash a few drops of magma over the surface to burn all that stuff out.

Anyway, I just tried to embark and then quit. Don't have time to play now, but the reclaimability is approved!

That said, this reclaim sounds marginally less fatal than the one I left behind; with no AMBASSADOR or Minotaur running loose.
Was the fort sealed when it fell? If so, then the fort interior will be clean of junk, if not, then our junk will be scattered all over the inside and we'll need an army of haulers to clean up.

now thats ove with, we to stop digging for awhile and just reposition ourselves, such as taking a turn to simply clean up and post wachdogs/cats all over the map, while theyll get killed itll show us their location...wait...just had a fabulous idea...lets a channel in the ground right? then put a aqnimal that doesnt graze into the hole, and then pretty much cover it with a grate! INSTANT intruder alert system! might try that on my own fort i got going...

Armor? There are piles of crap all over the surface.Yes, but ... the surface is somewhat hazardous what with the constant voidspawn ambushes. Also the good stuff is still below in the fortress proper, along with all the rotting corpses.
I did a reclaim last night and got into the fort, but didn't realize I needed to bring food and booze. I'll try again with a smaller military squad (four should be enough) and use the rest of the points for consumables.
That said, this reclaim sounds marginally less fatal than the one I left behind; with no AMBASSADOR or Minotaur running loose.There are at least two FBs, as well as all the caged thralls and whatever else we had stored down in the depths, and the (friendly) goblin siege. They just don't show up on the moment of embark.
Was the fort sealed when it fell?No, but it *might* have been marked as a lair... >_>
we to stop digging for awhileOn the contrary, the best way in to the fortress right now is straight down from embark (and slightly to the south). Assuming the leader remembered to pack the dwarven radar.

If I wasn't a noob (as in "still working on first fortress, but already thinking of deathtraps"-noob), I'd definitely sign myself up for a turn post-reclaim. As it is, I've just got to compliment you guys on being the fourth-craziest thing I've seen on these forums (the first being the mermaid thread, the second a thread about using necromancers to keep food fresh and the third the Dwarven Childcare idea). Keep going, and may I suggest setting up a simple but effective z-level ditch around the perimeter while you try to set up the fortress properly? Just temporarily, of course, for as long as it takes you to set up some mine cart guns.
Holy shit, guys. Maybe I'm a bit jaded because I've been along for the ride since DG1, but... did someone just say that we're almost as insane as mermaid traps (which were so horrifying that Toady nerfed mermaid bone), baconing like a pro, and Dwarven Child"care"!?
Um, just saying. That's a bit scary.

Not a bad idea, but the surface is way too hostile (especially now) to try sending miners out to dig. There are roving voidspawn on the map on a more or less constant basis, and now apparently we have not one but two FBs flopping around up there too.
They'd get killed and/or eaten before they got a quarter of the way done.

- Enter fort, kill everyone.
- Lock up.
- Build airlock to allow migrants to enter, but not enemies. Build traps and way to seal off if possible.
- Began industrialized "child care."
- Construct BATTERY2: a battery of BATTERIES.
- Began construction of one or more pump stacks from the magma sea.
- Hook up pump stack(s) to BATTERY2, but DO NOT TURN ON (yet).
- Wait until "day care" has produced 8-10 full militia squads.
- Give "day care" squads CARP training.
- Find way to fill arena with water and drop CARPSs into it.
- Prepare arena for Voidspawn/clown showdown.
- Release the clowns.
- Watch the carnage.
- Send in CARPs to clean up.
- Release water, let hell fill up a little.
- Drop CARPs.
- Once all CARPs in Hell, turn off water
- Build new Hellbunker.
- Began argriculture in Hell.
- Build rooms in hell.
- Began to move civilian population into hell.
- Keep woodcutter/hunter outpost in lowest cave to supply wood and meat.
- Build lever that controls power that turns on/off the magma pumps in Hellbunker.
- Seal off any and all entrances to the above-ground world.
- Once colonization is finished, pull lever and bring death to the surface.
It's costly, overly ambitious, time-consuming, and will destroy the FPS, but hey, isn't that what Dwarf Fortress is all about?

- Once colonization is finished, pull lever and bring death to the surface.
It's costly, overly ambitious, time-consuming, and will destroy the FPS, but hey, isn't that what Dwarf Fortress is all about?
......
you sir just made deathgate even more dwarfy....i suggest we do whatever the hell he said! crap i might even sign up my vessels as hammerdwarves for this shit!! especally if i survive as a kid in "daycare" and "carp" trainning...this would allow me to be the most badass hammer dwarf in the fort! plus i think hammer dwarf also goes along with armour/weapon making...(well it should theoretically)...
in other words
LORD ANIMA, GOD OF THE VOID AND AVATAR OF TERRY!!! WE BEESEECH YOU TO ALLOW US TO COMMENCE PROJECT CHAOS!!! (chaotic hell/spawn armegedon overloaded showdown!!!)
please? With hellspawn choppings onto of the boombuger boss? also if this manages to go into next year i would like to sign up for the succession fort or if this fort keeps going long enough illd like a turn, only if its near either april or may...due to job corp crap im doing right now...so yeah, this gives me time to learn enough shit to become a player of dwarf fortress.
plus losing is fun...

Whats a CARP? they the same as carp?
CARPs are our super marines. I think they may date back to DG1, and refer to a super soldier project.
Soldiers were herded into the Trade Depot of Doom (so named because the past few overseers had taken to using it to drown every caravan that came through the map and made it to the gates alive). The depot room was filled with spikes and the CARPs had to tread water while defending against the spikes.

if this manages to get on the front page of murdermachines as a holiday quotes...well...ill be pleasently suprise AnimaRytak actually does that...
other then that happy holloween again, dont let the voidspawn turn you into one of their thrall's/slaves...
i think theres a reason why the thralls fight back aaginst the spawn when their injected with the taint...its the fact they turn beserk in pain and suffering, and its obnly when the overseers and patriachs beat them into submission so that they obey their every order...mostly its of fear that they while suffering the entrenal pain of having the abyss tear at their nervous system as well as repairing it to constantly inflict pain and suffering into their lives. so basicly they turn thralls into animalistic creatures that obey their whims on the abuse they inflict onto their persons....mad fool...i think this bears more scientific experimentation...

(also to see if we can beahc the suckers and hack them to death with spears, axes, hammers, and crossbows...will make our dwarves ultimtae fighters fast!! plus easy glass industry...lots ofprofit to be had! especailly if we decide to make a glass megaproject thats totally useless but awsomely cool!)

Anyway, if any of these ideas is too overpowered, just give it the "opposed to life" tag but leave it trainable. That way you'll probably be able to get it from caravans or with the embark, but any wild ones, on the other hand...
Post by: ChaosMaker on November 09, 2013, 04:32:49 pm
Making nigh-immortal creatures immune to thralling would be cheating, though. The rampage would be legendary, and would earn Murdermachines a place in history alongside Boatmurdered.

i second this!!! having a breeding colony of those zilla's would defintly be klike the dwarves taming the elephants in boatmurdered...plus they tend to destroy the surface with lava....wait...cant we do the same with water?obsidianize the world!!! after we have a tree/seed farm underground...

i definetly second this batch! its almost like a parallel universe crap going on, in spearbreakers theres fischer, in murdermachines theres VG whos essentially the void incarnate...
i think the next fort needs a little...SURFACE MUG OF DOOM! thing to go on...we must build a megaproject with a gaint mug for spearbreakers and fill it with lava for deathgate,(bonus if the lava's pulled from hell and it has the deathgate logo on it!), also on the surface for murdermachines....

Post by: wlerin on November 16, 2013, 01:49:47 am
a) Don't forget food and booze. There are some prepared meals left, but only about half of them are edible.
b) Silver hammers cost just as much as bronze spears and are at least as effective. Anything else is either too expensive or too weak.
c) There's actually not that much armour near the wagon, and ranging out to grab what's further away raises your chances of encountering thralls. On the other hand, there aren't enough points for anything besides some cheap shields.
d) As far as skills, 3 weapon + 3 shield + 3 dodge + misc combat skill seemed to work, though I'm no expert on combat. A doctor is probably a good idea, though it will be a while before the reclaim team has time to treat wounds.
e) Given the costs of skills and weapons, it may be better to lower the number of actual warriors, and bring a few low-skill laborers so other supplies (i.e. food, booze) can be afforded.
f) The best bet is probably digging down from the wagon and hoping you hit something. (Maybe with a little dwarven radar assistance.)
g) There are at least two FBs loose, but the one I ran into in my last attempt wasn't too threatening.
h) If we ever face another goblin invasion (or, rather, when) the goblins will turn hostile, so letting the thralls and goblins wipe each other out is the ideal outcome. I.e. don't kill more thralls than you have to.

My first goal will be to construct an airlock at the surface. Currently we only have one female dwarf (Kyh) and it will take ages to repopulate the fort without letting in migrants, so that's a priority.
The reclaim team consist out of three miners (Wlerin, Chaos-Maker and Minkerrow), two masons (Kyh and Tryrar), one speardwarf (Puff) and a mechanic (Mr.Strange).
Most of you guys wanted to be some sort of warriors, but we can't afford buying the necessary skills and there's more important stuff to be done first. We'll just throw you in a dangerroom as soon as we find one. Sorry.
The next step will be to reach the underground farms. I won't be looking at older saves to find out where it is, I'll just be digging in it's general direction. That's how a dwarf would do it.

old mistakes. we would live forever. everybody thought so. who could blame us? with the powers our protector bestowed upon us we had
nothing to fear. even the horrors HE sent to throw us back into the abyss we no match to anima'rytak. but even gods have to sleep...
we won't fail this time.
so i took a look at the stuff lying around or wagon in hopes of finding an axe (i forgot to take one with me and now there's not enough space to build proper walls on the surface, i may have to dig into the hill) but unless you count some steel armour, the only useful thing i found is the artifact gem cage that was made during one of my turns. right next to it lies the severed hand of my first murdermachines dorf. how symbolic.

Only problem is how to clean up the surface...i vote we make a WALL around the entire map, only leaving the western side slightly opened (more like a kill-zone area) so that way we can safely get our wood...and the spawned void-spawn/goblin/kolbold and the eventual elven raids/seiges would be forced to the killzone area...double bonous if we manage to make a deep pit with a raise up dropbridge with swords/spears upright on the bottom..and maybe a small airlock zone after the bridge for traders....SO WE CAN

dude you scared me ^^ most ofthe underground farms is covered in webs. luckily it's just cave spider silk. i'll get some screenshots up soon.where are the forgotten beasts?Hard to say as I believe their locations are random, but if you see forgotten beast webs lying about, be on your guard.
Did you manage to dig into the fort?

The airlock:

It's made out of pitchblende. A depot is currently being constructed next to it. The stairs lead up to the roof, nothing special there yetbut now that we have a beekeeper I plan to put beehives up there. The levers for the bridges can be found in the underground farms. My next goal is to a) reactivate them b) find the void god. down there the items did not move, so he should still be lyig around in the golden pyramid next to his voidspawn bone sarcophag.

The fortress is completely sealed off now. The airlock is working properly. The dwarves finally started to put ghosts to rest. I think that the next few overseers actually have a chance to clear up the fort. We can get rolling again. I'll try not to kill Peregarrette, her wound has to be treated as fast as possible.

Most of the ghosts have left now and those who are still there don't seem to be a problem. I've set up a fishery in the caves so we won't starve. I'm also setting up a tree farm and irrigating the underground farms anew. I recommend setting up a proper food industry next turn. We used to have a really good one, but it crumbled to dust after my first turn.
I'm into early winter now.

Note to self: When Yuli steps down from overseer, and im back from the void with mad fool, arrange an....encounter....with said mad fool, teach that bastard to at least put up those void slabs to make sure we digest our vessels souls properly...im betting Armok is trying to take them back to his damn hall after kicking us out...asshole...

Some risky constructions have to be done in the caverns. Luckily the most dangerous creatures in there currently are some bat men. Peregarrette is taking care of them easily.
Only damn batmen can breath in the clouds of miasma emanating from Boatmurdered.Hell, when I read this, I couldn't help picture this.

Spearbreakers probably, though I've not read it; Boatmurdered had goblins and elephants getting along just fine until they were all consumed in waves of fire and death from the Boatmurdered Mega Magma Cannon.
Until the fort was killed by a dead puppy.
Post by: ChaosMaker on November 21, 2013, 10:39:14 pm
hmmmm
.......
did anima say we couldnt weaponize magma or make a pointless contraption using lava? (i has an evil idea...)
Idea: make our sqaure box the size of 3/4 the map, and have a "land" bridge where we want caravans comming into...
next we find a lava sea, and make a lava proof pump and such...then we pump the magma into the ground surrounding the outside of the "safety"box...except for the land bridge! allow us to have a super-massive magma moat with still a path for invaders and merchants and migrants to get into! (i suggest an airlock scenerio so we can control who goes in and out!)
if not...then good luck fella's on making the fort survive untill we can get everything reclaimed and expand indefinetely...
i suggest that we colonize hell when we have a large enough army with enough cannon-fodder (goblins and thralls...and maybe if we capture one a spawn or two) and after collapsing several hallways onto the demon army, as well as trapvill...and letting the goblins fight the demons and Then letting the spawn fight the demons...we fight the demons remaining army in a battle worthy of deathgate! then we remake the bunker! and slowly expand into hell...turning the surface into a thing of the past! and then we take hell for our own! (aka:turnning hell into our immortal firey slave)
and then when we get bored we allow a final battle/allow a invasion of goblins and thralls come into deathgate...only to be slaughtered outside

Dead puppy? I thought it was the eternal siegeburn that did BM in.
A dead puppy wedged open the front gates at one point when the Magma-Cannon was being fired and caused fire to spread through the fort. This being the 2D version, fire was even harder to deal with and the smoke and burnification caused a massive tantrum spiral, most beautifully exemplified by the Flaming Rampage of Sankis the Great.

i say this should be in the front page people....this is...just murdermachines...where the dwarves are the meat in the grinder of deathgate.
beside that, hows the play people? whos turn is it again? im getting excited again to see if we atracted migrants...but if not...then i suggest we make the max population VERY high...and next game we go to a savage deathtrap area with undead wandering about...we could have our own voidspawn fight the undead, goblins, kolbolds, elves (when we decide its not worth geting their wood anymore, when we have tree farms), and the demon worshipping humans (if they go the same way as deathgate).
I also suggest that in murdermachines we DIG DEEPER! make the TRUE fortress BENEATH that of the murdermachines, just grab anything of value, dig deep, collapse several sections of the old fort or wall it off, then make the true fortress near the adamantium! that way when we invade hell (or outdo it to the point the demons break and just say "fuck this! were better off in hell!") we can have a awsome fortress covered in obsidian walls, floors, and for the nobles-gold plated rooms and furniture (as well as glass and crap we trade or steal from the humans and elves), silver for the "lesser" nobles, and of course our lord and master will have adamantium plated room as the main expedition leader...if the queen comes...i say we find a way to....transfer....her authority to murdermachines/deathgate's TRUE master...

Better yet, exploit the system that allows you to mine for slade, but use it to make a fortress under hell. And let's indulge in viking mythology by calling that part of the fortress "hel" (yup, that's actually the name of viking hell) and fill it with ice.
i second this motion...having a fortress under hell seems apropriate for us deathgaters....heck even making a fortress under hell should be LEGENDARY!...
"this is murdermachines the fortress under Hell, its made of the highest artifact quality of dwarven-craftmenship, it menenaces with spikes of adamantium covered in demon gore, it has engravings of dwarves and demons, the dwarves are underneath the demons, the demons are in a fetal position, the dwarves are laughing, this is to commeramate the celebration of murdermachines for being the frist dwarven fortress to build Under hell Itself!! it also has plated gold for the floors and is covered ina rtifaqct quality goods"

Yuli has repeatedly caused massive damage to the fortress. In fact, I think he was responsible for one of Murdernmachines' deaths.
Two, to be honest. The fort fell for the first time during my tenure, but only after Yuli fed 80% of the population to an FB.
He managed to kill the second FB on his second tenure... and promptly fed THE FB to 80% of the population. WHICH HAD THE SAME EFFECT, INCIDENTALLY.

but right now, we need the fort back!! or a do-over...
if anima lets us start anew...because basicly unless we do a massive claim with an army beheind us with well provisioned stocks...i dont think we would make it beyond year 3 at this rate when we do recliams with all the voidspawn, goblins, theives, FB's, animals, and maybe opnce somone finds the adamantium unleashes hell on us before our millitary is legendary in the aspects of millitary fighting.
Speaking of the millitary, i vote we let the dwarves go weaponless except for wearing adamantium armour (FULL ADAMANTIUM) and then let them wrestle trolls to the ground....the armour will protect them from the blows...hopefully...
and once they've gotten at leats 40 kills under their belts (for the entire sqaud mentioned) we can give them weapons (if their legendary armour user, dodger, wrestler, anything else is optional), i suiggest adamantium axes, hammers, spears and swords. also sheilds be given to all sqauds. we also have a emergency marks-dwarf sqaud to be used as a execution sqaud for captured foes we throw into a pit and have a fortification built into the walls so we can pepper them with wooden bolts from adamantium crossbows...
can we get started on this shit please? and if i cant get resed as a weapon/armour maker, let me be a beastmaster (trainning war animals) so that one day i can train us....
....
wait for it...

WAR DRAGONS!!!
i so want a dragon...I PROPOSE WE BUY NOTHING BUT FIRE-PROOF WOOD IN THE NEAR FUTURE! even demand if from the elves if we have to...bloody tree huggers.

One does not simply reclaim a fort of the Deathgate series. It tends to end in cat overpopulation, overseer madness, and spawning chaos gods which torture the dwarfs for all eternity.

meh a least the baby wasnt in carp trainng, and we hadnt instilled the kindergarden yet. if we had those kids would be hard-core veteran fighters by the time they were 10...and probably not give a crap anymore about anything...the perfect drone/vessel for our will!
other then that, yeag we had an elf war-spear in the danger room, and hell those dwarves signed a contract that we ARENT legally obligaed to do shit to them or even care about their livelehood/anything about them besides their useful;ness as a body to fill the meat grinder, plus the danger room IS CALLED THE DANGERROOM for a reason people! of course those babies would get mutilatedf, our dwarves were trying to toughen their kids up! so what if timmys missing a leg, just goes to show those goblins whos boss why they keep on trying to hit that missing leg while hes beating them to a pulp with a dwarf sock. naked. and also sober. finally beardless as well. and covered in fb-goo...dont ask were the goo came from.

this is murdermachines of course we will find a way to kill an undead fortress...somehowe either through fps death or save files being tampered with by terry...we alwasy find a way to end horribly and in suffering. at this rate this will be a fortress of reclaimation...still any chance of reclaiming the old fortress halls and sealing up the fort untill fresh migrants arrive to take part in the ever expanding millitary (i suggest we go the way of sparta and anyone not doing a imporant job-food, minning, drink-making, making furniture and of course building) is suck into the millitary so that all dwarves can at least defend themselves for a year. that way gives us fresh recruits in rotation cycles..and we can just dwarfpile a voidspawn and see how that works, by my guess we could theotrtically kill one via a thousand bites....
litterally, if dwarf fortress is feel nasty enough. if we somehow get lasher weapons (whips) into our fort all the better! with the godslaying weapons in the hands of our champions...the goblins will be torn to shreds in to time!!! *even if its not a dwarvish weapon i suggest we use them...we can make them menance with spikes and stuff to make it all the more dwarveny...and on fire!)

No, I killed the fort (well, allowed it to be finished off after Yuli killed it). Yuli stepped in to reclaim, but his most recent turn falls outside the existing order. Kazimuth is next going by the old list, but last time I messaged him he was busy. Should probably check again...

Alright, before the next overseer starts his or her turn I should remind you of a few things. You know, so the fortress doesn't die within a year after my turn again. Again.
At the moment, the fortress is very close to starving. In my obsession with the underground farms I didn't notice that we lost all of our plump helmet spawn. I repeat, we are out of plump helmet spawn
Currently the dwarves are living off tallow biscuits that are constantly being produced in a kitchen in the underground farm area. They are being made from a huge pile of tallow that is left from the previous forts. It should keep us alive for a while, but it is only a matter of time until we run out of booze. You should try to set up a berry farm in the aboveground fort so we can brew again. You may try to search the old fort for seeds, but be careful with reclaiming stuff. There's still enough gecko sauce on some of those eggroast to kill everyone in the fortress.

Forgotten Beast -- check (killed most of the fort)
Kobolds -- check (finished the fort off)
Food Poisoning -- check (killed most of the fort)
Goblins -- check (finished the fort off)
Starvation -- ?
Sobriety-induced Tantrum Spiral -- ?
"Safest" bet is probably to send a group to gather plants in the cavern, or if they are accessible, one of the underground soil areas within the fort.

im betting were just being lazy at this point and just torturing the poor ass dwarves...
anyway going to go see the hobbit desolation of smaug...i wonder just how THAT fortress dies off...
(gold induced greed...wait....have we counted off greed as being the way a fort dies from having repeated dragon attacks? as well as covering everything in gold....)
NEW IDEA:COVER THE ENTIRE FLOOR/WALLS OF THE FORT IN GOLD AND ENGRAVE THEM!!!! the bedrooms can be silver (the noblity gets gold, and the highest positions of the fort get adamantium when we mine it, after we made and entire sqaud of adamantium armoured/armed troops)
then we can test if gold-fever-sickness really does effect dwarves...i want to see them drive off even the spawn in gold induced fever rush!

im sure if we continue using the FB goo, we MIGHT find somone whos immune to it...1/1000 chance i bet! also glad no vampires yet...probably all killed off by the spawn...

hopefully this wont result in the death of the fort. again...for the third time.
are we running on how many times we can get the fort to die before we breach hell? because im hopeinf the next deathgate series would either be in a terrifying necromancer area or goblin/kolbold/spawn infested territory.

i say we do that next fort!!! would certainly add more appeal than to just have a hole in the ground when you can turn a volcano into a supermassive fort with inbuilt heating and actual water systems! (somone might have to do a DF hack to get some water going but hey! drinking water IS needed!)
other then that the only thing better would be if the volcano gets constantly assulted by b oth kolbolds, spawn, necromancers, undead, goblins, and FB's...and maybve the titan or dragon that comes along!
can we please? because at this rate we might have to connect the fort via surface and have all those entrences all lead to one large one thats trapped to hell and back with cage, stone fall, upright spears, and other nasty things we can come up with!
finally would make it INTRESTING to dig into a volcano with limited wood supplies. i bet by the end of the frist summer somone wouldve turned them all into beds, then moods go crazy on others...
finally i have one thing to say, in the face of the spawn, i suggest both CARP, steel or hardened iron, and

Wow. I'd recommend attempting to tame it, so you can safely put it in it's own enclosure. I'd also recommend editing the raws by adding the "[CHILD]" token to the dragons raws (and reducing the incubation period for dragon eggs), so you can eventually have a dragonsplosion.Woah, be careful with that.

Uhm yeah. That's all we need for now.:edit- i can remeber what else needs to be done, such as dumping all the stuff on the surface for reclaiming...add more !FUN!
modifid it for ya! anyway going to check on how to change the Raws for the dragon, mostly i got a male, hopin for a lady dragon soon! thankfully it hasnt sprouted fire yet, and maybe war dragons will be more intresting then war-dogs...war dragons...must...have...where can i change the raws and get the dragons [CHILD] and a several month long incubation period?

Just open the raws of DF. I believe Dragons are under creatures_other. Also, use [CHILD:N], where N is how long you want them to take growing up. Incubation period is already done, I think, but I believe you should find it under a separate section for the egg items.
Dragons are under creatures_standard, actually.

1)i clicked on the file labeled dwarf fortress 0.34.11
2) i clicked on the raws
3)i went to Creature_standard
4)then i added in the [Child:4]
did i do it right? im quite the crappy rookie at this, even though i play the fort a bit, its more of somthing to do while i wait for either my dwarf to get revived into a new form and the fort to escape from terry's clutches again...me thinks ol terry is play its usual tricks on us, keeping the world in a sort of limbo while it crackles in delight, in other words had a goblin invasion force during a dwarf merchant run, lost a human merchant run due to 2 ambushes...the goblins really dont like me...might be ebcause i threw all their theives and ambushers into a pit where my marksdwarves either shot at them or my melee squad beat them to a pulp...and stole their clothes and armour and weapons...deifnetly made a killing that year with all the trade. on a side note should i equip all my dwarves with silver whips and scourges? its amusing to see all the attack damage of tearing the goblins bit by bit...also i need to figure out a way to lure a female dragon and then train her to get dragon pups, once i get enough keep the big, strong, and quick dragons and butcher the rest for their bones and skulls, and scale armour...what can i say a draogn industry sounds damn awsome! if the fort ever revives and we need an animal trainer....
thats it, ive changed my mind! make me a animal trainer so we can get dragons!!!murdermachines shall be known for their dragon pens...anbd besides i dont think the spawn are dragon-fire proof! should add more fun with them clearing out our stockpiles filled with FB goo! i also support my idea of a shower area with pumps similar to the battery recycling water to sort of "clean" our dwarves, and if we do get tallow...make soap...makes dwarves happy and we dont die of ifnections...took me awhile to get that up and running.
now that im rambling and your all probably shaking your heads at this new guy at dwarf fortress rrambling along, ill say this...
ARENA! GOBLINS, DEMONS, VOIDSPAWN VERSUS DRAGONS AND DWARVES!!! may the best draogn riding dwarf win! (i can imgaine the fighting going on and in a instant a gate collapses and a dragon similar to smaug from desolation of smaug from the hobbit movie just slowing growling as it prowls towards the goup, and a dwarf clad in adamantine armour roars a challenge as the group in turned to ashes from dragon-fire!)
i got dragon-sickness...must...have...!FUN! i dont want to sleep...is this normal?

Anyways, first granite, and I'm basically assigning someone to do heavy plant gathering to find some plump helmets so we can brew shit.(either that, or do some trading.) Anyways, 16 dorfs wont use up the massive supplies of cooked meals we have. Also, found out why we have no plump helmet spawn; some idiot turned on cooking seeds for all our stockpiles(i turned that off for now)

Edit Edit: Actually, I just screwed up. In an effort to release a dorf that had been trapped in a separated part of the cavern, I flipped another lever...only to find it was the master control lever for all the bridges in the Deep City. three guesses who decided to party with the dorfs...
Edit edit edit: Ok, no hope of recovery. I have 4 dorfs left, 3 of which are trapped in an area with no food, no drinks, and not a single pick to dig them out(so they're dead anyways); not that there's a point of digging them out with the FB on the loose. Even after dogpiling him with everyone, he still murderized the entire fort. So, what do you guys want me to do? I'm still not too far into the turn, so I can savescum if you guys want, or just pass on the previous save...

Ok, this is a dwarf fortress cliche, but I have no clue where anything is, especially the levers controlling the entrance. I might just rebuild the entrance just so I know where I stashed the levers for the bridge...I think Yuli built a second, simpler entrance. Might want to see how that works. The levers for the old gate have notes, if I'm not mistaken, and were in the middle of one of the busier parts of the old fort.
Anyways, first granite, and I'm basically assigning someone to do heavy plant gathering to find some plump helmets so we can brew shit.(either that, or do some trading.)Probably the best idea. Where from? The caverns or the upper soil areas? Because the latter may still have wandering goblins and voidspawn thralls... and of course the cavern has its own unique set of dangers.
Anyways, 16 dorfs wont use up the massive supplies of cooked meals we have.Well, that would be true... if about half to 2/3rds of those cooked meals weren't contaminated with a deadly toxin. Best to find another source of food.
EDIT: Ah. The fortress has fallen. Again.
This is glorious. Three deaths in a row to FB's. We should just repeatedly reclaim-abandon to import massive amounts of the stuff we need (we bring the contents of the cart to a place it won't scatter after reclaim and then abandon immediately).That's ... not such a bad idea. EXCEPT, aside from food, the fortress should already have everything we need lying around either inside or scattered on the surface. Worst case scenario (I personally think this is cheap and will probably lead to more bugs) could just have each reclaim party bring weapons and some food, sort through the trash and bring what's needed to a designated location in the Deep Fort before they are inevitably killed by FBs or starvation... and then the final group just brings food and makes a mad dash for the stockpiles below.
Post by: ChaosMaker on January 05, 2014, 08:32:27 am
might be cheap, but at this point im willing to be called a cheater just to get this fort untill its 20th year, where we WILL breach hell wether were ready or not!
and possibly unleash terry unto the unsuspecting world in all its chaos-godly form! all and all, im thinking were more like the deamons from warhammer universe now, only with the void instead of the bitchy warp. (the voids cooler, litterally and it makes more sense then that helll-hole!)
anyway good luck living past the frist few months, youll need it for the elves...i strongly suggets unless they have pets we want we string them up in cages as void-spawn bait...please? the humans, ehh good for some things like bars and food, (hell in my game i bought out an entire 6 caravan and 4 cow/donkey group of human traders...and let them have over 30k riches...why? because i didnt need most of the crap i got from overtime goblin stipcaging, kolbolds, the odd siege, and several caravans dieing due to unfortuenete envents out of my control.....-_-....i knopw what your thinking, i did not wall in a human caravan and drowned them, its unoriginal!...now if i said i magmad them to death would you believe me?)
anyway looking forward to the journel/update! hope to see us live this time...even if im betting we all starve and have to get new hosts again...exactly why does the kingdom keep sending us host's? even after all the horror stories? because at this rate were going to get our asses chewed up in the murdermachines grinder untill we cloge the killyness up and breach hell because of our boredom.
also i suggest this time when we make a hell bunker we KEEP it a bunker untill we have at least 2-3 sqauds on standby in adamantine armour weilding either silver hammers, or adamantine axes...all trained to legendary...with markdwarf back-up....and a population of 100 complete wityh farms and food supplies. all but a dream right now though.
Post by: ChaosMaker on January 10, 2014, 10:41:34 pm
seriously i think the spawn might have been a bit to killy this time around...with the whole entralling thing we got going on, i say next embark we go to a savage/evil zone, dig and not ever come to the surface..and turn the trade depot into a caravan trap/murdermachine when we dont need the elves wood or the humans trade anymore. we should aspire to become a moutain home and make a TRUE hellbunker...plus conquer hell and pretty much move right on in!
also if we happen to capture undead we can make a vampire testing ground for any new migrants, thus allowing us to ensure we dont get any bloodsuckers that keep on messing with our dwarves...i suggest we lock any vampires up and make a way for us to....execute...them via magma, (will need magma proof stone and wood to do this with pumps, a resivor, some cells, and of course water to obsidianize the magma... this will be awsome....
anyway anyone up for saying murdermachines beacon just broke down because of poor stone quality and of course host dwarves poor craftdwarfship? we can definetely survive better in a evil/undead/demon infested zone better then this right now...with the fact people just arent intrested in playing (or cant due to real life sucking aka -terry-

The shroom walls are just a result of trying to open the game using a different graphics pack than what the raws are using. As long as the game doesn't have any custom raw files, just replace the raws in the save folder with a copy of your own.

Looks like they are in separate files, though, so while you can't delete the old raws, you *can* just copy the ones from your graphics pack over. I think.

DF hack can be used to do this...within reason...just dump everything on the surface to one spot, put the egg roasts on another, get the rest of the crap in the old fort, and then sit tight and fucking dont go outside unless migrants come...even then dont fucking go outside...wait till pops reach 100...put all miners/masons/engraves into one slot, carpenters, wood cutters into another, let the farmers do all the farming shit, metalsmiths do metal and shit, anything remotely useful to the forts utmost survival, anyone else is in the millitary given basic armour we can find and smelt, i suggest we get at least copper or iron before we send out the dwarves into fighting goblins and shit, also make their their legendary wrestlers level 100 frist, i suggest the danger room with TRAINNING SPEARS ONLY! to make this happen, anyone with over 4k might, or has the best stats in the millitary becomes to new avatar of Anima...at which point he becomes the fortreses champion and is privy to a Silver warhammer, or steel, and the finest adamantine armour we can make...(helm, chainmail, breastplate, gauntlets, chain leggings, greaves, high boots, and once armour and dodge is 100 or at least over 60, give him a shield!) then at which point we can begin the slow decimation of all the voidspawn and prove that WE oveerseers, the body wraiths! the deziens of the void! the dwarves of deathgate! rule over all!
then march onto hell, breach it and make it our bitch again! this time moving everyone in the fort into the damn place while making a damn fucking waterfall, as well as a sun shaft down into hell itself! for sunberries! and other fricken crops that we can think off! as well as making every damn dragon and beasty that comes into our slaves/pets! the demons? HA we can LURE them into the great area where the voidspawn, goblins, and our dwarve await for their...decimation!!! let the world burn under our gaze...for we of deathgate shall march forever more into the darkness into more and more desolate fortresses in the name of !!!!!FFFFFUUUUUNNNNN!!!!!!....
and war dragons!!!
i want war dragons...make me when i get there the sole animal trainner! (next fort should have full on out savegry, beasts, some civs, and the whole fricken wastland of doom setting!)
hey guys...just had an idea...wanna remake mordor in the next fort? start next to a volcano, and build a fucking tower to live in...our darves can mine underground while they live in a massive fucking spiral of death and chaos...all made to be the shrine of our dark and glorious reign over the lands! and unlike a certain dark lords tower, ours will not fall! nor shall it be unmade if a bloody halfling dumps animas present down the damn forge, or was it the goblin slave thing? anyway thats what i suggest we do...other then try to tame cave spiders and gaint cave spiders...wait...
idea...we must name the frist gaitn spider we get Shelob! (or ungoliant...yes i am a lotr fan...wood elves can kiss my fricken ass...i watched the desolation of smaug...want to kill elves more then anything right now...anyway we can go to a middle earth setting and delcare full on out war with the elves as we take over mordor?)

on the note of scourges....i think we need to have a entire squad of torture dwarves for the...captives...all equiped with silver scourges...(does silver make the scourges more deadly? or steel?)....then you can sit back and enjoy watching the goblins get a taste of dwarven justice! in the form of bloody backs, legs, arms, loss of teeth...and other nasty things...once had a dwarf who wailed on a goblin for about a month or so before he got bored and went back to sleep...the goblin crawled pittifully into a cage trap...i sent the goblin into a pit...and it endured another round before FINALLY bleeding out...eveyrthing was pretty much in the yellows and reds by the time it got its skull cracked open and brains removed...

wooden bins are fine...just dont use them to store food...or drink...or flask/waterskins....i also suggest we use metal wheelbarrows...and turnt he wooden untillwe get magma into charcol....that way we dont have to worry about the more...contaminated wood...
i think i flayed my brain via suger....and no sleep....i really want to play DF now...
dragons...we need dragons...and maybe a zoo...gotta keep the dwarves happy you know! (and at least 1 beast/cyclops/minator/werebeast/vampire in a office as a zoo!)
also anima do we have permission to cursecheck in Deathgate/murdemrachines? cause i dont want to see the fort fall to filthy sparkly blood sucking fairies...why else are they able to pratically shift the blame to other people since they fricken sparkle!!!...have the urge to sit down and dream of dwarves pushing the sparkly things into hell for the sheer hilarity....or just putting them in the same cage as a elf...problem solved! (damn emo thing will annoy the prude, arrogant beardless, sober, pointy eared bastards into eating them! then we can throw the elf into lava! or maybe a DA *dwarf atomizer!*)
kolbolds were bad enough the frist time around!

You underestimate the amount of surface crap. It's like. Alot.i mean to sell the old junk on the surface...give it all to some worthless merchant and then take everything he owns in return...DF hack can be used to do this...within reason...just dump everything on the surface to one spot, put the egg roasts on another, get the rest of the crap in the old fort, and then sit tight and fucking dont go outside unless migrants come......just dump everything on the surface to one spot, put the egg roasts on another, get the rest of the crap in the old fort, and then sit tight and fucking dont go outside unless migrants come...ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY

The way the opinion is RIGHT NOW, they are going to start a Deathgate the Third, which may or may not start until after the next version of DF.
Was that any help?

Kinda, no, cause my condition for "Proficient Overseer" is "has created the Mountainhome and had it remain stable for a year," and I've created a grand total of TWO fortresses, one of which I abandoned when I panicked from a zombie invasion and locked my Dorfs inside and my supplies outside, the other of which I flooded out of sheer boredom. And I failed at flooding it, too, I had to break open walls and doors multiple times in order to drown the whole fort >.<

whens the next DF update? and when it comes out will it auto download or will i have to reinstall DF again?
will saves be compatible...dont want to lose my dragon!
finally, if and when spring break arrives and we start deathgate 3...i want in...in the mean time, lets simple just keep reclaiming...untill we finally somhow manage to connect all the puncture holes in the ground to each other and make a Mega Fort...at which point i highly suggest the useage of DF Hack...if only to clean up the trash on the surface and dump it on the dumbass merchants that come to our desolation...
and if possible...weaponize booze...and minecarts...filled with angry sober dwarves...
i wonder if the dwarf(dwarvish-elf) king of old would be proud of us?...considering that we may/

On a more pleasant not (maybe?), I will proceed to celebrate because the Outpost of Mafololtar, Gildedgates, has survived to Winter of its first year (and has a stable brewing industry that has started to diversify into Rum as well as Ale, not to mention a hive of freaking honeybees that were just chillin' outside my entrance. I only noticed them when they stung one of my watchdogs. And then a Beekeeper came in the next migrant wave, so I was happy), despite having massive vermin problems - having heard so much about catsplosions, I decided that it'd be better not to take any cats in my initial embark. To quote a far better Dorf, "Never have I been so wrong."

Nope. To reach "Truly Dwarven" level, you have to colonize HFS with a force made entirely of Childcare Graduates, cast a fortress of Obsidian down there for your people to live in, and then leash domesticated Dragons at your entrance to keep those nasty Elves away, while trading Mermaid-bone chalices to the outlying lands (if you're not the Mountainhome by now, you haven't passed Proficient level yet!)But isn't "dwarven" supposed to mean insane? All of those things you just mentioned are very rational and quite practical things to do.

Admittedly, our logic is on the slightly extreme side of "individualistically capitalistic opportunism", our practices involve copious amounts of magma, the only life we respect is that of Armok, and our moral stances tend to include "xenophobic urges to kill everything on sight" and not much else...

Contraty to popular belief, Dwarves are NOT insane. We are highly logical and practical beings, with great respect for life and incredibly high moral stances.

welp lads, i totally agree with the above...plus i say we get a volcanon next to an ocean and use it as a source for enternal obsidean supply! and then mine the shit out of the ground around us and build a tower straight from hell all the way to the maximum level of high you can acheive ind warf fortress...all the while making it seem totallyu legit! truly the fortress of hell-fire dwarves of deathgate the enternal would be glorious...
right now im imagining a dwarf fortress version of the dark tower in lotr...its awsome, only add more elfs hanging in cages, more invasions being crushed under dwarf atomic crushers, and dragons and rocs tamed and bred for war...pretty much we get bored and declared the ultimate home for dwarves as we take hell and then get bored with it...and then move onto a NEWER world...also i highly suggest we go to war with the elves as soon as possible, war of extermination my fellow dwarves!

On another note, shortly after I started celebrating, one of my children went into my first Strange Mood [Secretive]. He demanded Cloth. I had Yak Hair only. Gildedgates reached Village level before perishing in a tantrum spiral, which means I'm only a Dabbling Overseer >.<

Or we go with the flow of the old Deathgate for 2014 and we do this without gimmicks. A large part of what made Deathgate I so crazy was that every overlord built their deathtraps according to a moments whim and to match the situation at the time. There was no overarching plan, just lots of little gear-shaped plans designed to make the whole thing go "cuckoo".
I actually really support this plan, though most of the craziness of Murdermachines stems from Voidspawn being so hardcore/the entire surface being a barren hellzone/Yuli's Playful Misadventures With Forgotten Beasts.

Am I? Oh, dear.
Well, I'm game. This topic has been a bit dead for a bit too long, I've been tempted to just grab the save and pop out a year just to give it a kick in the beard.
Someone link me to the latest save, because it's probly done gone and buried itself at this point.

Well, I think that 20 or 30 migrants trying to reach the gates through voidspawn hordes ARE fun, but ok. I guess I survive till end of my turn...
It's 16th Obsidian and we have gobbo siege here.
Ok, my turn is over. Last 4 dwarves are trying to make enough slabs and coffins. Everyone has masonry and engraving labors enabled, and stone/furniture/corpse hauling.
Caverns are sealed, so no danger from beasts. Maybe best choice if to abandon and reclaim - if we release captured voidspawn beforehand, we'll get random fight between them and 'friendly' gobbos

Let's see what we can do here.
Post by: kefkakrazy on January 21, 2014, 09:08:02 pm
I...
FoRgIvE mE...
*the smell of sulfur washes over the room*
I lost control of myself for a moment. My apologies; I'm certain the burns will heal in time.
I am Lashidang. Last of the Demon Lords of Deathgate. A place, I'm sure, you will not remember, since to you it doesn't even exist. With time, such things will make sense.
Perhaps.
I came to this world along with the Dwarves of Murdermachines. A bit of a tagalong, if you will. Alas, I was not strong enough to force my way into a healthy adult's body and was forced to replace the soul of a newborn child.
It was, by the way, quite delicious. They always are, fresh.
Being a baby was rather simple, but it was not an unpleasant experience. Until those never-to-be-sufficiently-damned dwarves allowed me to be kidnapped by goblins. Me, Daemon Lord of the Fifth Circle, to be "raised" by filthy, unwashed greenskins, because of the incompetence and foolishness of this bearded slave race I shackled myself to?
This would not be tolerated.
I maintained my awareness, of course. The goblins raise dwarven children in an effort to harness their natural sturdiness and affinity for jewels, but they do not know a great deal about them and so it was easy to conceal my true nature. Until the day that my stolen body came of age.
On that day, I judged it to be strong enough.
I unleashed my true form. Flame rippled across my body. The stinking, slime-encrusted rags the goblins had given me flashed into cinders as I threw off my shackles, droplets of molten metal spraying my captors. I cloaked myself in demonfire and turned that goblin hole into a bloodspattered kiln in a matter of moments.
I felt my connection to the Void Beacon growing stronger as my demon nature asserted itself, and I set off into the world. Six dwarves I found, two of which I judged strong enough to be implanted with new souls from the Void. The rest would have to wait until I made a stronger connection to the Void Beacon.
We crested the hill overlooking the site of Murdermachines, and my eyes widened.
Smoke rose from the keep at the center of the walls. Even from this distance, blood and gore decorated everything, some dwarven, some goblin, some... otherwise. Movement was everywhere; everywhere my eyes swept, and everywhere I saw bodies wading through pits of bones and piles of trash as they slaughtered each other in an endless orgy of destruction. It did nothing but feed the bone piles.
I saw gold and jewels, the crafts of masters, sitting in puddles of sludgy, long-ruined dwarven wine. I saw riches that a thousand men would slay each other to possess crunched under the feet of trolls. The stench of decay and death permeated everything, overpowered only by the sulfurus stench coming from the fortress mouth itself.
Void God, but it was the most beautiful thing I ever saw. I was home again.
I hoisted the pick I took from one of the dwarves I had decided not to recruit. Tapping it against a stone to dislodge some of the ashes of its former owner, I sank it into the soil and felt my host body's beard twitch with a smile.
Digging a tiny tunnel into the heart of the hill, I ordered my "companions" to follow me into the darkness. The ruins of our stolen wagon were left to block the tunnel forever more behind us, and we set off into the darkness. Into the dirt I delved, knowing that before us was the Voidhaven, Murdermachines. And it would live and breathe again.

Kefka...you are my 2nd favorite dwarf now, the frist being of course the void god...(shhhh! speak his name not in vain yet! we dont have the sacrifical temple built to sustain his malice!!! if an animal trainer comes kefka put me up for it! in fact ill go do if after this message...)
anyway glad to see a demon lord (who is now ONE OF US, ONE OF US, ONE OF U----sorry, host body got uppity for a moment...me thinks he was in the craftsguild for mugs or somthing) got the fort up and running again! beware the egg roasts! and not to mention the FBS, a least untill we have marksdwarves and a somewhat functional millitarey (aka-disposable bodies that arent needed, soap makers, are needed, only one however...the rest can be situation at least 4-5 dwarves a profession...the rest in the millitary bitches!)
also build cage traps...me wants a dragon to tame overseer boss-dwarf, if not possible ill just wra train anything into a murdermachine...maybe a pain-dog? (seriously i have a dog in my fort thats essentially paindeer incarnate...it got into a fight with a goblin theif and pretty much got almost all red on its body...its still has a damaged kindey but healed overtime...essentially 60-80% is one massive fucking scar...gonna nickname him spotty just for kicks)
also i suggest adding to the beacon...and maybe moving it to the Temple of the Void...make sure its made of obsidian!!!...and other crap that anima likes...maybe then he shall return to us in the strongest, most able dwarf we have...(im guessing around 4k strength, 3k endurance everything else)
anyway great update man! the storyline sputtered out while we all talked madly in the void...guess were to busy just dicking around like we ususally do to get shit done...cant have a turn though...damn fucking essentially job corps and not having a laptop that can play DF...otherwise i would be on this in a heartbeat.
also whos fault was it that kefka got kidnapped again? i vote we put him in a dog room for awhile...(a small 3x3 room filled with at least 15 dogs...and male cats...winner of the melee gets to live in the hopsital!...hopfully the mad doc doesnt come into town hehe!)
good luck lord overseer! and may the void god bless your blackend, blood covered, wraithy form of hellish flame and death. speaking of fflaming death, we should have mad doc find a way to fire-proof our dwarves so they can swim in lava...

Oh, dammit. Whoops. On the other hand, blame the OP, I didn't see Yuli's turn there and so I did't look for it >.< Looks like Kefka's already gone forwards with his reclaim, though, unless he wants to swap over to Yuli's save...
Post by: kefkakrazy on January 22, 2014, 08:54:31 am
Current status: I abandoned and reclaimed to clear the siege and deployed with seven dwarves. Six of them made it into Lashidang's hillhole and are tunnelling towards Deathgate proper, which still appears to be sealed; the seventh moronically ran out towards the gates instead of the hillhole and is likely to be eaten by something. Not a grue, sadly, but god damn near everything else is out there, including voidspawn and, if I'm not mistaken, the fabled source of the gecko sauce, which I'm god damn well shocked to see is still walking.

Yuli, is there any significant difference? How are things as of your reclaim?The good news is that we got inside the fort and dug out some shit without me killing almost nobody.
Let that sink in for a moment.
I also put about ten ghosts to rest, which is nice. Our biggest problem is our food supply. I reclaimed alot of...idk what that can be used by kitchens to make edible stuff (the dwarves are feasting on voidspawn tallow biscuits right now) but we don't have any plump helmet spawn or anything else that we can used to make booze. And we are running out of booze quickly.
Here's my advice. Try to salvage some seeds from the surface and get a berry farm going. Try to survive until the dwarven caravan arrives and buy all of their booze and seeds. Stay away from the caverns. Build some funny shit.

well need those two parts of the /eldritch Abomination/ ritual going to happen tomorrow, also hope kefka updates soon, im really looking forward to what the frist year of deathgate looks like! bring dogs as meatsheilds dude! (ill train em up good!...maybe a few beatings with a limb of a goblin will do the trick to entice the dogs to bite goblin parts...may need voidspawn in the future to tempt the meatshields to sheild us from the main threat!)
i also suggest we find a way to weaponize any sort of wildlife that happens in the area or that we can buy from merchants...
(df hack regrass? to keep pastures full of grass and not starving animals)
sooo.....any ideas on how to keep this going untill the next update from kefka? i suggest we do random songs in Df...

i think its more of terry got bored with our misery and expanded it to massive proportions, double the chaos and trouble...at least untill the dimensions all slip back together into a big bang again (AKA deathgate 3...i suggest savagery is at max, and number of civs at medium, beasts at max as well! also resources at medium)
volcano or deathland is ago people, we need the extra challenge of the ENVIROMENT!!! (include the DUN DUN DUNNNN) into killing us...the game aint killy enough so we added abominations to kill us, but they were to killy for our newb asses to handle...anima i think we shouldve had them build up ya know? (low pop frist, but massive rebreeding, then every game upp the anty untill were used to the bastards killing us!)
finally i suggest we use ALOT of cage traps to capture both titans, cyclops/minator's, and dragons...the dragons for war dragons in the future (as well as culling the weak, slow, and fragile dragons from the herd, promoting only the strongest, quickest, and most enduring beasts for our pelasure of seeing things die!) the cyclops and minators, well anyone want a zoo where we can dump the criters into? (say like holding cells with fortifications installed to act as windows...and then dump goblins and other nasty beasts in there with them to see how the fighting goes! then later on we move giant cave spiders down there leashed up nearby, GCS silk farming! and we get some laughs as the beasties get covered in spider silk!) finally i still think we should war with the elves in the next game as soon as we get a underground tree farm up and running, mostly for the fireproof bins...(everything else is made of metal...including the beds, and for the purpose of artifacts! even if their useless)
anyway once thats all good and done, we find a way to get some carp...and then train the beasties into our pets of doom to patrol any waterways we create...yes...the war crap!!! all shall fear Deathgate III- Haven of the voidwraiths!
also, so sigging this-dying's half the fun, and all the FUN!

FULL STEAM AHEAD!
and yes i just posted this on a 2 litter Dr pepper drinking spree...to much sugar and laughing my guts out thinking of peoples faces when they read that one line...its been to quiete the last few days, no major update (yes im impatient, ever since the forts second fall ive been hoping for a revival of deathgate!)

Someone''s made a Dwarven Star Destroyer. Not sure where or who, but the link's in their sig.
Dammit! okay then Deathstar?
How does it shoot magma into the sun? After all, all dwarves know that the sun is merely a fictional entity. We have empirical evidence that nothing exists beyond the 2112-th z-level.
easy we make it rain magma by shooting it into the sky, some of it has to collect into a ball of fire...then we can call it the sun! and then proceed to destroy said creation because it makes all the dwarves nautious...
wait....you said theres no sun or stars/moon....so how the fuck does everyone see outside at night? besides night-vision, and where do all the werebeasts transform into since theres no sun or moon? and the fact theres no sun or moon, how do some of the dwarven deities exist?
...
dwarves...we must create the moon and then proceed to colonize said moon. then destroy the planet as we use our moon to rain down doomsday devicies we made onto unwary worlds, i call dibs on the elves!

As to the sun and moon questions: "The Sun is a flying blob of gold. Beware its flaming breath! It is associated with Light and the Day. The Moon is a flying blob of Dwarven Cheese. Beware its deadly dust! It is associated with Dark and the Night."

Oh! Nah, the Star Destroyer I've seen is neither fully armed nor operational. It doesn't even have multiple Z-levels! It is, however, pretty impressive.
As to the sun and moon questions: "The Sun is a flying blob of gold. Beware its flaming breath! It is associated with Light and the Day. The Moon is a flying blob of Dwarven Cheese. Beware its deadly dust! It is associated with Dark and the Night."
....DWARVES ME MUST MINE THE SUN AND MOON!!! For the Gold and Cheese!!!
remeber our lord loves his cheese!....im surer well find a way to break through the limits of the sky...if we can mine slade we can mine anything...and im pretty sure people have tried to make a fort UNDER hell via the deep rift shafts....would be intretsing to be technically at the center of the world and have a thrieving dwarf fort in the middle of it...and let goblin and spawn/elf invasions try to invade hell to fight the demons. and then fight the sane dwarves of deathgate!

...I think I missed something. I did a double-take, wondering when I'd gone on a Dwarf Wars thread... make that a Dwarf Star thread, pardon the pun. :D
Thank You for making my day.
thanks i derailed at a point where i added in a tv.trop...had to do with hutt lap-dancers.....have fun with that image...
anyway i think were just bored at not having a mega-project around so were discussing if its possible to turn murdermachines into the frist star destroyer...with actual working weapons!!!
i suggest we make the main turrets with catapults, side laser cannons with ballista, and have lots of stockpiles in the rooms. Anima's place considering hes our Lord and Chaos God of the void is the central command center...(or above it) so that he may lord down on us in the dinning hall/community center for the crew.
shame we cant have it spew magma as a way to obsidianize elf encampments....
someone write a story about that!!! it sounds awsome! (dwarf-SD hanging over an awed elf encampment...before stones start droppibng onto their heads and magma powers from the belly of the ship! and minecarts filled with burning bits of metal figurines of elves fly down like mini bombs to set fire to their precious trees!!!)

My current plan with continuing with this save from Yuli is to do this in the short term, but it's not really long-term sustainable. Better would be to identify death zones.
The big problem I'm liable to face is that I have literally no experience with managing toxic syndrome spatter. this could prove costly.

Chaosmaker, you will be pleased to know that your brothers in beard are so distraught over your death that they are cheerily drinking over your rotting corpse.
(http://i.imgur.com/9bTL8kR.png)
Whoever designed this airlock system was apparently either too drunk or too sober. Because...
(http://i.imgur.com/EXXOIN4.png)
One of the bridges retracts rather than raising.
(http://i.imgur.com/E9ltzEC.png)
I ordered the dwarves to construct a brick wall blocking out the airlock controls from the rest of the fort. (They were quite hard to find, by the way; the hastily scribbled indicator that the controls were "down a ways" failed to convey the fact that the control levers were constructed so deep that I can hear the eldritch whisperings of my cousins from this dimension.) This is a simple, utilitarian dwarfcontrol method: whenever the gateway needs to be controlled, a dwarf is sent to retract the "broken" bridge, locked in, then kept captive as a slave to the airlock lever until such time as it is released.
(http://i.imgur.com/W7BDG3z.png)
I began exerting my will over the workforce. Naturally, rather than bothering about with subtlety, this process involved me enthralling every living body not already possessed of one of our Void souls. My mindless slaves will serve well at tasks which can be assigned en masse, ensuring that the most important of labors are attended to with maximum haste and a minimum of fuss.
(http://i.imgur.com/TD0qsz2.png)
One of the thralls goes about his labor with a large chunk of skeleton over his shoulder. I'm not quite certain why.
(http://i.imgur.com/4R3bNxd.png)
Situation in the fortress is nightmarishly precarious. Goblins and trolls roam freely among the corridors, and I'm not quite certain how long this uneasy truce will last. The halls need washed clean of such filth, but no dwarf in the fortress has the combat prowess to go about it.
(http://i.imgur.com/btQoU34.png)
Of primary concern is the food situation. While the air around Murdermachines is so well infused with lost, twisted souls that a deep breath will practically sate my own hunger, the dwarves need food of some sort to go on about their lives. While I work to prepare edible meals from our seed stockpiles, my thralls swarm the fields. Their current method of throwing sweet pod seeds at the ground and headbutting them into the mud may be inefficient compared to the careful tending of a master, but at least there should be a crop of some sort.
(http://i.imgur.com/0e3AM3a.png)
I declare SanDiego to be our new bookkeeper and order him to start a complete tally of the goods in and around Murdermachines. I estimate this will take him a good part of his lifetime to complete, but it must be done; more closely cataloging these lost goods is the simplest route towards perhaps reclaiming some of them...
I rest for now. One month has passed; it is now 1 Slate.

Post by: kefkakrazy on January 28, 2014, 03:35:57 pm
I believe that Kefka is actually referring to his unDorfed dorfs as "thralls." They are not actually thralls, it's just a fluffy nickname.
This is correct. They are not void thralls, they are demon thralls.
(By far the simplest method I've ever found to manage high-priority tasks in a fort, especially a crazy disorganized one like this, is to simply throw away specialized tasks and engage Communism Mode. Commonly, IMPORTANT tasks will receive specialized dwarves, and tasks that demand skill will get specialized dwarves, but oftentimes I'll simply form a hard labor gang with off-duty military and unskilled dwarves that collectively perform tasks like threshing, milling, construction, hauling, and so forth. That is the case here, where I have things like planting and construction that need done right now.)

anyway looking forward to my next host, ill take an animal trainer this time...let me teach our pathetic meatsheilds their TRUE worth as slaves to our dominant will! and if we happen to get a dragon...i want to keep trainning the bugger untill its tame enough that if we get one of the opposite gender we can create murdermachines own unique brand of death against the spawn, goblins, and trolls!!! and frogotten beasties...yess.....dragonfire kills anything!!!!
also Kyh, Thaddeus...you beter make sure as hell to dance on top of the bones!!! i want to see some splintered bones of a desecrated hole in the ground when i get back there!!! i sure as hell aint stopping now that i got my frist taste of soul essence!!!
also good luck keeping the thralls Kef, if ol VG wakes up...well...i say better hand em over quick...his avatar was death incarnate last we saw of it. if we ge another avatar of doom, we must ensure its only the most able bodied dwarf in the fortress with the most potential, and given the most master-work craft weapons, armour, and sheild possible!!!
hope the week goes well for ya Kef, good luck!

Gents, it seems like the solution to this problem we're having is to make a BA adventurer, and have him clear out the place.
will that work? cause im pretty sure we dont have any adventurers in the world of murdermachines...if so then i wish them luck in wiping out all the abominations in the fort and around it, definete experince levels will work...and if the adventurer migrates to the fort and is a dwarf and is a demi-god being....VG'S BACK!!! he is auto bookkeeper or somthing like that.
anyway still wishing we could start operation FTW with magma, if only for the trash and enemies on the surface.
anyone say "I" for Danger Room and CARP trainning? Df hack could be used to simulate CARP trainning...that way we can have a single dwarf go god-mode on their asses...with a heavy ass hammer if they have immense strength qualities.
anyway good luck all with the fort, hopefully next update sets us up for a massive situation for !!FUN!!, al;so whats the best estimate of time required for the fort to become once again a mighty insane bastion of darkness, death, carnage, and all around beacon for the VG? All of it preparing to stick the earth, underneath hell!! (im rooting for this fort to build a MEGA-fort underneath hell!!)
Post by: Grombardrim on January 29, 2014, 03:32:05 am
But, honestly, I'm pretty sure that strength of arms isn't gonna save us here. We need some *serious firepower*. We need ☼Dwarven Ingenuity☼
Post by: Dwarf4Explosives on January 29, 2014, 10:17:31 am
Also, magma landmine. Link up some pumps to bring magma up to a small dug out cave just under the surface, turn them off but leave them linked to a small BATTEREY. Then build a magma-proof bridge over the spot you want the magma to come out of and turn the pumps back on. This system can be activated by the Overseer of the fort, as described in the "magma landmines revisited" topic.

Yuli, for reasons that probably made great sense at the time, seems to have set up most of the "recovered" industry in a small base carved into the third cavern layer. While it LOOKS sealed, we've lost the fort twice to FBs slipping through little holes in the walls, and I'm just calmly awaiting a third FB breach. I'm not sure if he carved out this area himself or if it was already here and he expanded it.
On the upside, there is plenty of wood growing underground, so aside from additional beards there is literally no reason to ever go up to the surface ever. This is probably the best choice.

Seems like it's worth the investment to create an adventurer in this world. It will take some serious time, if we do the honorable thing and don't use DFhack, but then every time we have this problem, we can send in Urist McBA to clean out the voidspawn and the FBs.
HERESY TO THE VOID MAGIC!!!
but still does the adventure mode even still work if we use it at the same time as the fort? and will the adventurers actions on the fort remain with us untill the end?
and on the bunker thing, i think we should dig untill we hit magma and adamantine....and just fricken live on the level above the lava pits. make the fort there as the main base and close/collapse the rest of the old fort entrences to dust. finally i also suggest when we get strong enough (50 beards or more) we start making a temple to anima in the magma region. of course with "SOME" saftey...as much as i detest that in dwarf fortress, situational uses...then sacrifice a few useless dwarves in a ritual to bind VG to a champion dwarf (the best millitary dwarf we can get, preferably ultra-mighty across the board) and fashion masterwork adamantine weapons and armour and give him a sheild as well. also a backpack with a adamantine flask...that will give him the option to carry food so he wont have to be served by us lesser void wraiths.
finally when he gets a kill count over 100 (no FBS...we dont want a geko sauce situation again! is there a way to close the caverns off from the rest of the map so FBS cant wander in?) and were sutibly prepared for a clown rush, we invade hell to remake the fort UNDER hell itself....and then if deathgate 3 comes out by that time we just dug so deep we appeared (well a few of us) in another world near a volcano.
if not then armok was being an ass again (blocked us from Dwarf Valhalla last time jerk!) and just dumped us onto a new world. any new migrant dwarves that we get that are the ones each of us want got deported to another area...depending on whos alive by deathgate before deathgate 3.
(also end the fort marvilously if it does happen!)
good luck Kefka, hope the food situation works out for us...and if we can get some plump helmat spawn when the merchants come next time we will all be greatfull to the demon (hows that ironic?) that "saved" murdermachines...well more of murdermachines letting us back in so it can chew us up in the meat-grinder of insanity, depravity, voidspawn and goblin/troll filled muclhing blades of clown blooded teeth of adamantine death and chaos! essentially TERRY'S back-yard.
(P.S:cant seem to find the little thing that'll let me make HIM more terrifying when you guys say it...you know the matrix-like coding covering HIS name?)

when the merchants come next time
quite frankly i have no idea where our trade depot is, or whether merchants would be able to survive up there. Again, EGGUANA was roaming around up there last I checked, and unless it ran into something that killed it in the past year (which I still need to check on, because I'm due for another update tonight or Friday) it's still a threat...

anyway im thinking having voidspawn ambush is a bit overkill with the overkilly things. goblins are annoying enough already and kolbolds are worse when they steal somthing from the fort.
looking forward to the update, hopefully if all goes well we ge flesh-sack's to populate the fort for our immediate soul consumption...thats if anima doestn wrestle the forts rule away from Kefka, and reproclaims himself lord of murdermachines after decideing that enough was enough and continuously takes the strongest and most able dwarves int he fort for himself!

also taming dragons and making them our warrior/slave caste of the fort means that we wont have to fight as much, and cultivating the "flock" will yeild lots of dragon bones (i wonder how much they can cost?), leather (lots of leather!) and other bits fo food....hey anyone tried dragon meat and organs? might make for a mighty meal...wonder if itll overtime make our dwarves immune to fire if we eat dragons constantly?
probably not...but hey we got carp trainning, the danger room, and all we need now is a fire room so as to make our dwarves immune to fire (melt the fat off their flesh...they'll be pale from it, but hey its better then being burned alive in the future!)
also do we have plans for vampires? wouldnt want any pest comming into the fort and eating our flesh-constructs.
and only we could see magma as fuel, trap defense, ect. ect...also do voidspawn have trap avoid? if not then i suggest planting lots of cage traps mixed with stonefall traps. kinda like this : w=wall, S=stone fall and C=cage
WSSSW
WCCCW
WSSSW
WCCCW
just keep alternating. if they get past the traps we can then unleash the meatshields to buy time (a cage full of Male War Dogs. we keep the strongest and largest war dog male for breeding purposes while the females are also kept nearby. dog explosion!) (dragons we keep inside the fort in choke points where they can unleash their deadly flame).
also have you found a way to keep all the trolls and goblins caged? or contained at least so we wont have to deal with a siege?
and finally any ideas besides surviving? the thing i want this fort to do is reclaim the main fort, clean up the surface with traps randomized everywhere, make the trade depot a killing ground against the elves. and finally make a sqaud of wrestler dwarves in thier own little hole to train for 5 years max...at least untill they get legendary is fighting, wrestling, biting, ect. (the basic fighting skills without weapons) then put them into carp trainning, and next put them in steel armour and unleash them on the voidspawn. (see how many DIE or Mutilate themselves upon the monsters for our own amusement!)
Next we invade hell, and if Deathgate 3 comes out, do we want voidspawn in it? or no? cause if no voidspawn then we go to the nearest goblin citidael or necromancer tower, and proceed to ruin their lives by killing every damn warrior they have. (and if we can do millitary expidetions...al the better! Slaves labor, goods stolen by our enemies, plenty of captives taken back into the fort, and lots of goblins brought up as dwarbven slave labor...can you imagine having our dwarves use whips on goblins for hauling duties? makes me smile a bit when i imagine deathgate dwavr4es whipping demons in hell to get back to work! Kefka chose well to be one of us...)

Let's mod in immobile petri dishes with a harmless syndrome to allow us to vaccinate dwarves. And let's have a small zoo, maybe with a reserve supply of kobold (slaves).
Looking over my plan, I cannot rationalize the lack of lava. What we need is a multi-fortress lava (or water) gun, with one fort of the project set up only for the rapid-fire launching of the material, and the second for the delivery of massive amounts of the material. For the same reason, let's set up another pair of forts to fire water (at a very large delay). Then we can create large walls of harvestable obsidian in adventure mode.
and sell them to a mega fort that well make? or perhapes will invent a super fort that can strech several locations long and wide? at which the center we will build a mega-fort on which there can be no failure...unless we breach hell and unleash the demons within.
at this rate, only HE would be our immortal enemy....i suggest we invent our own "villan" guys...some kind of void-spawn/demon hybrid thing...
because at this rate well become bored of this and make somthing to killy for us to contain.

hmmmmmmmm....he must be pissed because he hasnt killed anything lately....we need a shrine and fast!!!! maybe we can shove the goblins and trolls into the pit lined with spears sticking upright, and not just any spears, how about Silver Spears? kinda like silver bolts are the best, why not have silver spears lineing the bottom of our deathpit/shrine to chaos?
or we could just mod in a few human cursader kingdoms that are just zealots and opnly use copper weapons. or gold....would be amusing to see humans, elves, and goblins actually allying each other to either get rid of a undead-m,enance....
wait...
undead...
GUYS I GOT IT!!!
Death-gate versus Zombie apocolapse!!! make the bites infectous like the voidspawn, and have them hate all life! (classify them as undead hehe) and then see how many hordes we get rapidly! (the frist batch would be pathetically weak that a cat can kill one, but damn fucking numerous!) the second batch would be stronger fresher zombies reently dead. the next up would be infected, which would not be rotted and have their skills, essentially the undead have shitloads of endurance, weak strength, barely any agility, no chance in hell of dodging, and their bites are infectous crap that can turn a dwarf fortress into a hell-pit if one dwarf gets infected and starts biting everyone.
woukld be intresting to see how the dwarves of the void face off against death itself in its attempt to reclaim our souls into the abyss.

Still, everything will still probably die, quite likely at his hands, axe or beard (made of magma?), if we implement this plan.So only question left is who will actually do the modding?

Sorry about the massive delay. To be bluntly honest, it's taking me a lot of time to work my way into this fort; it is nightmarishly convoluted and badly screwy.Ah, the old Deathgate motto.

But we've run out of things to kill, so could we kill you next game? Deathgate need a challenge, and the Voidspawn are remarkably squishy, although, when compared to the unholy hive mind of a dwarf fortress, pretty much everything is.
Speaking of which, when can we expect an update, kefkakrazy?

ANIMA'S BACK I'M SAVED PLEASE TAKE THIS NIGHTMARE OFF MY HANDS
The VoidGod still lives baby.

....awsome dude! welcome back!!!
hopefully we can start the revival of deathgate again....yeah so far its been not going well when you died...me thinks this is punishment for not giving you armour...or forcing you to...because lets face it, weve become remarkibly relient on you since our refall...and while the voidspawn are squishy, we keep dieing to mass amounts of goblins, theives, trolls, spawn, and thralls....
makes me think we need dragons to burn them away.
(also if a animal trainer comes, let me deal with it...i so want to train dragons! Dunegon Master for the Win Dwarf! iof its possible.)
anyway looking forward to seeing anima or kefka save the fort again...i think we were to insane for this place...not enough moutain to much plain.
plus no magma! sigh, when i get the chance for deathgate 3, ima be a overseer...cant wait to fall to the madness! (ima partially mad, havent truly been inducted into the madness of deathgate!)
also im guessing same ol same ol dwarfs?

Me save the fort? I've made almost no progress. Every attempt has been met with a sort of existential terror not unlike that of someone who tries to open up their watch to replace a battery and finds that it is being powered by a tiny, portable portal to a blackened realm of insanity and lust, and that their curiosity has allowed dark spirits to seep forth and infect our world and that is where people like the Kardashians come from and oh god what have I done to us i don't normally even wear watches
Wait, that's NOT what my watch is supposed to be powered by?

Also, you do know that DF's speed is entirely dependent on how much power a single core can throw at it, right? Since DF is not multithreaded, it can only run on one processor core so a lot of the benefit of multi-core arrangements is lost. (Not entirely, mind; having at least a dual-core allows you to assign one entire core to DF, since you can offload all the processing for other mandatory functions like the OS to the other cores.)

There are many cores there. One can handle DF and the others can be moral support.

Will post the save when I get home. It's not actually running at poor FPS, guys; the problem is just that attempting to organize everything is so intimidating that I'm almost immediately struck by a paralysis not unlike gecko sauce disorder.

Valid point, however the single core performance of these processors is about the best one can find without spending the blood of your firstborn.

I never quite realised just HOW fucked up this place is.
so i general same old same old? also welcome back anima!
hopefully the void-god will be please with out madness and chaos....and if he manages to get the fort ready for another round of fun i approve of it immensly! (as long as i get to train the dragons...and the dragons are able to be breed, trained, and domesticated...a good long term goal, plus no need for grazing...and the dragon bones, leather, and meat will keep us feed for weeks, maybe even a year!)
also any way short of massive amounts of cage traps to get rid of the goblins, trolls, and other unwanted beings in the fort?
also suggesting we go to caverns, bnecause lets face it the upper levels of the fort is hell to mess with, i suggest we wall off most of the underground caverns, and have our quarters a level above them...the great hall (new one) could be a level above that and all our industry and stockpiles will be around the level of magma. plenty of railcarts, wheelbarrows to go around. plus i suggest we breach into the main fort later on when we have meatsheilds and steal everything that isnt nailed down...and come back with oversized axes and take others as well...includeding the nails!
and if we have a chance, reclaim the surface and drag everyiong up there into a garbage pile of 1 tile and then reclaim anything remotely useful. such as clothes, furniture, armour, weapons, bodies to eat, ect. ect.
i relish in the gloy (aka:pits of hell that even demons fear....i hear they created a religion that demotes us as the monsters above that seek to invade hell!!!) wishing i could see the scene....fuck job corps...and fuck no dwarf fortress...great now im depressed...have to find a way to watch a puppy dfie or a paindeer slowly bleed to death somehow...
finally i wish the VG a good lucks worth on reclaiming the fort. hopfully we get more amusing stories out of this before deathgate 3 comes out. and when we do, an epic send off for murdermachines....maybe a bomb or somthing?...
NOODLE GET THE PLANS!!! WE NEED A IMPOSSIBLY LARGE BATTERY TAKING ABOUT 10 LEVELS TO OVER-POWER SOMTHING SO WE CAN TURN THE EXCESS ENERGY INTO A BOMB TO DESTROY EVERYTHING QUICKLY!!!!
every other overseer! we need LOTS of supplies...iron at worst for the compoments!
Post by: kefkakrazy on February 19, 2014, 11:53:21 pm

We are the Death-Hammers' of Wrath.
The last survivors of the once great civilization, the Basement of Murder.
Our home was Deathgate.
We are the dwarves who kicked in the gates of hell and conquered it for ourselves. We built a fortress deep below the earth that housed a warmachine of steel and dwarven hate. Built on the bones of goblins and demons, none could vanquish us. Except Terry; a god of madness and chaos born from our own rage. In the end, he was our undoing. Our brethren were taken from us, locked inside the realm of madness and chaos.
And we? We were forsaken by the Stonemaker and left to the endless void with Him.
Our reprieve from the void was Murdermachines. A place in which we could call home. A way to escape the hungering void and return to flesh and blood bodies.
But this was no sanctuary; we have lost much for this place.
Only the avatar of the Voidgod, a warrior of glad in burning steel and adorn with a halo of molten iron, allowed us to return.
But still we do not thrive. We cling, we suffer, and we bleed for this burnt, blood soaked land.
And we fucking love every minute here.
This is the dwarven paradise.
This is Murdermachines.

You forgot "E, all of the above," which was the correct answer. Also, Anima, I presume we're going to keep clinging desperately to Murdermachines, clawing and scratching for every single square our Dorfs manage to eke out from the hellish wasteland that surrounds them with its malevolent embrace?

There is no standing military. I jammed all of the unnamed Daemonthralls into a squad so I could try to get enough of their less-valuable meat bodies clustered around one of the not-violent goblins to feel safe trying to have them execute him, but because even Daemonthralls have short attention spans and Yuli built our little bunker in cavern layer 3, I could never get more than one or two beards up there at any given time.
You have to understand that I hail from a darker era, back before the uber-complex current military system was put in place (I still haven't figured out a lot of the bells and whistles). Why, in my day, a dwarf was either military or not-military, and that was that!

there is no expletive that can fully express how far Murdermachines has to go until it reaches the creativity of Deathgate.
Raaki. Or, more correctly, Daraaki (Dah-Rah-Ah-Kee). It means that something can never reach any expectation placed upon it.
From Raa (object), Ki (an inverting suffix, in this case turning "object" into "no object" or "nothing") and Da (Prefix that turns the stem into an adjective).

Post by: AnimaRytak on February 21, 2014, 11:41:42 pm
Sixteen dwarves.
Two miners, one of them is Minkerrow.
A woodworker, Puff.
A stoneworker, Tryrar.
A metalsmith.
A jewler.
A craftdwarf, Peregarrette.
One noble.
Two fishery workers, one of them Thaddeus.
Three farmers, SanDiego is among them.
Two engineers, Mr. Strange & Lashidang.
One wrestler, Kyh.
Minkerrow is the nominal leader of the fortress as well as serving as our chief broker. Thaddeus serves as the only doctor in the fortress. SanDiego has the honored posistion of Bookkeeper.
The fortress is an utter wreck. The surface is covered in debris and skeletons from decades of war. The upper floors are no better, the only difference being the moss and mushrooms that grow over the corpses. On the first floor there is a room equal in size to the great hall of Deathgate. It's only purpose is to house corpses.
The second floor, the farms, are overrun with plant growth. The farms themselves have been fallowed for months and troll blood still stains them.
Deeper, in the stone heart of Murdermachines, the situation is no better. Corpses of our brothers and goblins fill the halls. Two corpses lie in the hospital, two more in the dining hall, one died in his office
Ducim Limulatol, one of the untaken, sleeps in the old office above the hospital. Ezum Timnarkulet is a few floors down, hauling items around. SanDiego slumbers on the same floor. In the halls between them, goblins and trolls lurk.
Minkerrow and Peregarret are near the caverns. More goblins are nearby.
Puff, Thaddeus, Tryrar, and Unib are with Mr. Strange and Lashidang are not far from Minkerrow.
Goblins and trolls are everywhere. Yet they do not raise their arms against us. It seems, even now, they fear the power of the VoidGod.
Our goal is clear. I shall seal off the fortress to the caves and to the surface. I shall train an army, an elite army, that can handle any threat that can be thrown at us. Then I shall retake the surface.
There, I shall make us a grand monument to dwarven kind.
For I am AnimaRytak, Firstborn of T̡̻̞̠̺͎̲̿e͊ͥ͆ͫ̑͗r͉̮͖͈r͆̂ͧ͌̑͏̝̪͇y̗̠̩͚̜̓ͭ͟.

This may be difficult.
Edit:
Kyh is female. Also she has a broken ankle and a dent in skull.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/Dwarf%20Fortress%20Community%20Fort/Baru.png)
Baru has come. He stalks the caverns and I cannot say if we are cut off from him.
For our protection, I've ordered the cavern-regions to be sealed off from the caves. I cannot risk an invasion at this point. I've canceled numerous designations for digging and mining as there are far more pressing issues than making our fortress look attractive or supplying more ores. As we have no carpenter, one of the daemonslaves, Kogsak, has taken over these duties.
Quick walling by Tryrar cuts us off from the caves. We are lucky at this, as the howls of Baru can be heard even through shaped stone.
11th, Slate, 268, Mid-Spring
Migrants arrived, eleven of them. Fresh daemonslaves the entire lot of them. Among them is a new carpenter, a stone detailer, a medic. Many of them have weapon experience. This is good, they'll be amongst the first recruits.
Now if I can only find a way to let them in.
8th Felsite, 268, Late Spring
Among our new daemonslaves is an armorer. This is as good excuse as any to restart our metalworking industry. Luckily, our old magma forges are still operational; albiet dusty.
12th Felsite, 268, Late Spring
An elven caravan arrived. I will not bother to open the gates for their ilk.
14th Felsite, 268, Late Spring
One of the daemonslaves has withdrawn from society. Let us hope he finds what he needs, every daemonslave is valuable right now.
In order to get the fortress up and running again, I've ordered the old parts of the fort to be re-inhabited. The heart of Murdermachines will beat once more. We shall not hide in caves.
[OOC]
Something in one of the stockpiles was tainted with a foul disease. It caused paralysis and near instant death in half a dozen dwarves.
I must take steps to contain it ahead of time.
Post by: Dwarf4Explosives on February 22, 2014, 05:02:59 pm
Stay away from them, that's what the fort died from last time. That's probably what you stumbled on, anyway.

HERE HERE!!!!
Damn it Puff, stop eating that fucking eggroast.
but puff likes the tast e of paralyiss and near death....or he simply enjoys dieing and eating the souls of the demonslave he has.
im guessing animal trainer is out of the question untill we have dogs or cats then?
anyway great job anima! hopefully your avatar can return from whence it came into the void...and possesss our mightest warrior (in terms of stats, skills, or anything else)
if you must put me int he millitary give me Scourges...either a silver or steel one will do...(or just give me two...itll amuse my dwarves as he flays the flesh off of the enemies of deathgates bones....seriously, ive given scourges to my millitary before...they fricken hurt and turn the dwarf into a sadistic evil bastard that'll hurt and hurt untill the enemy bleeds to death from multiple wounds...poor goblins just wouldnt die....and the FB to...)
anyway good luck anima, hopefully next week i can get back to dwarf fortress and getting my idea for the story im thinking/writing about up and running, all a tribute to our madness.
and Kefka, i was BORN mad....thats why i said we take the caverns for our own, the best way to do this is slow expansion, (take the top level and wall it off, then when you have to workforce, make another wall and ensure it reaches the ceiling, then go to the next level down and continue on and so forth, then muddy the grounds you have taken and instant farming area! do this for every level in the caverns untill WE control them with traps, walls, and of course spear traps with pressure-plates inbetween each one!
anyway if i ever get the chance for deathgate 3, ill like to overseer at least one time...probably will make a entrence so heavily trapped no goblin, troll, or even elf will enter our domain...undead well unless they keep geting torn apart by the spear traps (10 each) and keep marching along rapidly (we can also sue this for elven convoys!).
also remember this motto for murdermachines, DONT TOUCH THE EGGROASTS!
also have the stockpiles not accept any sort of extract from FB's, and keep their corpses away from the fort if possible...also wondering if itll be worth-while to turn the magma layers into our housing comparments where the REAL fort will live and prosper near the magma pools and adamantinj veins? and if possible turn at least one of them into a temple for you Lord Fristborn?
also anyone know if today will give the option to having HIM as a god in DF? because that...will...be...awsome...i think ive heard that a magic system is going to be introduced or somthing like that...anyone know anymore on that?
finally good luck with reviving deathgate a second time Lord Fristborn! i so desire to see deathgate crush all enemies...as well as the chance to grab a few dragons for pets/goblin disposal feeds. (make a 3x3 pit, put the dragon chanined at the bottom...toss in goblins...and watch the carnage!)
Post by: kefkakrazy on February 23, 2014, 04:28:43 am
Yeah, we had a forgotten beast, codename EGGUANA aka EGGWING, come through with poisonous blood. Wasn't too bad, except somehow some of his blood got all over a bunch of egg roasts in the stockpile. By the time Yuli caught it, basically the entire fort population was laying in a pile around the dining room table. That shit is nasty and will kill you dead really fast. Big portions of Old Murdermachines are still contaminated and Terry only knows how much of the crap on the surface is tainted.
Post by: ChaosMaker on February 23, 2014, 02:55:51 pm
good to know the fortress is going on strong!
(anyway we can get all the eggroasts put into one stockpile and forbid it from being eaten? might take a hour or two's worth of patience to go through everything and mark it for dumping but in the end itll be for the best, we really shouldnt have made that FB into egg roasts...or any FB really...)
New idea:go into food stockpiles, and FORBID any FB extract....or just EXTRACT in general from making its way into the food supply....im guessing the dwarves thought a FB would be a tasty morsel with chicken eggs...no way in hell would we sacrifice the Netherfowls kin for such a simple task of keep us fed!
instead we should make a dumping ground for an army of ducks! and then let them loose on the demons/spawn for the amusement of ourselves...say...anyway we can get the spawn to invade hell for us while we sit back and watch the carnage? you know just make a way for the demons and spawn to...meet....each other when the clown rush goes for the surface (wall off the fort and let the demons escape into a side tunnel for the explict purpose of letting the demons fight off the spawn)
because goblins sure arent doing crap about our voidspawn hobo problem.
but thats for when the fort finally stops being a derp and keeps dieing to eggroasts...as funny as it is the frist few times it just makes the fort uninhabitable...plus no new souls to feed on (aka:migrant demon-slaves...at least untill we inhabit their souls make make the bodies for our own!).
looking forward to the next update! as well as any story update as well. good luck dorfs!

17 Felsite, 268, Late Spring
Coming here was an utter mistake.
I would not listen to the younger dwarves, after a century of life, I know where I belong. Murdermachines had need of my skills, my talents. I believed the tales of danger to be... overblown, despite what these younglings thought.
It seems, however, that they were more correct than I. This place is an utter hell. Poison cakes the walls, bodies cover the floor, and bones dot the surface.
I have been miserable since setting foot here. I should not have come.
22 Felsite, 268, Late Spring
I witnessed Puff, one of the older inhabitants, fall to the floor in the lower fort. We all watched in horror as he mistakenly consumed a tainted eggroast. He struggled to breath as vomit filled his throat and lungs.
I was certain he would die.
But then a miracle happened. At once, I felt a great boom in my head as a voice spoke. I couldn't understand what it had said, but in that same instant, Puff pushed himself to his feet. Within a second, he went from the verge of death to walking.
He was still nauseous and partially paralyzed, but he was alive.
I've heard some of the other dwarves talking. They talk openly of the Firstborn of Terry; the VoidGod.
The speak of being called AnimaRytak.
They say Puff was saved by him.
This place... it scares me.

It really wouldn't be a dwarven meal if you're not choking on a wee bit-o-bile. Good taste is for elves and fluffy wamblers.

never been more proud of deathgate...
still shame i didnt get in...the lines horrible in the void. plus my skills arent needed....yet...but when we get a dragon...by hell ill tame the beasty even if i have to have a couple of scourges to do it!!! and feed it eggroasts...dragons can stand FB extract right? should be a intresting experiment...
also...did we get a few more doomed souls sent into exile again? thats all im thinking thats comming here..the worst of the worst scum in the dwarven society...or just plain ol cast-offs.
hoping to hear more soon my-lord!

Date:this is the fracken void, time has no meaning...speaking of this..where did i get this damn parchment again?
place: the void...sigh im bored...
Alright, now im back here again...just fracken great....i think i ate somthing, memories a bit fuzzy...reeeaaallllyyy gotta watch on how i eat mortal souls, eh-hem (not that you can see of course), i am chaosmaker, the former master of metals and crap that us dwarves made...unfortunetly i was one of the poor sods that wasnt reconized during the frist comming of the great invasion of hell, and thus remained un-noticed by my elders. However since our banishment ive started to think, (yes i know, thinking is for overseers, not us "normal" folk) if armok sent us to battle demons, then why did he banish us in the frist place? didnt he know we would become "tainted"? didnt he as a god forsee our demise by the one-who-shall-not-be-named?
(whenever HE comes, my lord Anima, i still get the jitters and want to hide myself in the void, strangely enough im pretty good at that, ill explain latter on)-anyway continuing on- i still cant comprehend the strangeness of my fellows, though im guessing because of their experinces their USED to the chaos theyve seen, and have tried to save our recent "home" away from "HOME"...they say im crazy, well thats what happens in the void when you try to be unnoticed, with no one to really talk to you kinda go nuts...(i long suppresed the voices my own mind created...hopefully they wont go out of control again, like each damn time i take a host recently...been working on it again!).
thankfully our lord left the rest of us in the void while he took a select few into murdermachines after the demon was sent on a infiltration mission (like the void ill believe he was "dwarf-napped" by meer goblins, these voidspawn ive heared about sure, but goblins?! they must be crazier then i thought!) wait how do i know one of our number is a demon? easy:he smells of brimstone. dunno how i know, i just damn do, must be my 18 senses going to work whenever hes around...that and the dark crackling laughter he gets on whenever somone mentions the new low-caste of dwarves nowdays...(the beacon still somewhat works...) "demonslaves" their called. A amusing title for the slaves that work in our halls, at leats untill they get a new souls put in them! I truly hope i get out of here soon, i wont relish that fact im losing at least 13 of my senses and whatever power ive gained in the void, but hopefully my lord will give me the honor of training our beasts again, i so desire my favored weapon of choice, Scourges-yes i know, a weird pansy human weapon and goblin tool, but it can be so much more...just given to a dwarf and let the dwarf truly master it (after ripping his own damn skin off severl times, and of course hitting himself in the face is alwasy fun! -not-) then he can become a monster on the battlefeild, unleashing terrible pain and horrific wounds and bruises to slowly give the sentence of a thousand cut death upon our foes...if only i had a troll to work on without any of their limbs...i would so enjoy my work.
And yes i was a former dungeon-master in my youth before i moved to deathgate, figured i put my past beheind me and work as a forger, we all know how that worked out...now i wait...waiting in line for my chance to PROVE myself worthy of this great legacy, one that has death, carnage, sheer madness and chaos unlike any-other, the place where blood is spilt like cheap wine in a dwarven party-room, where greatness rises and falls, where death and darkness plauges and seeps into the lands, turning them into a hellish landscape of horror and doom.
I cant wait to get out of here, i cant wait to come home again!!!

Next time, we'll be prepared. The Voidspawn will fear us. We will exterminate them. We will set fire to them. We will cause them more pain than the Paindeer has endured. They will die.
And we will then proceed to make biscuits out of their tallow, so that's good.

Economic projects it is, then. carve a hundred z-level deep death pit to train miners, because we're dwarves. Train up weaponsmiths by making menacing spikes for said death pit. And best yet, designate said death pit as a zone pit, so all of those that dared defy the might of Armok may watch their precious sky fall away from them before the stone swallows their impaled husks, and takes it's price of blood.
Perhaps make one of the pit's walls out of stylish gem windows, that a dwarf breaking his fast on eldritch syrup and elf bone waffles may have some morning entertainment.

fuck, at least birdbrain and the sadisitic/machoistic feme-dude thing didnt come by...
and Dwarf4Explosives....this is DF, anyone going on a rampage is essentially a thing of good news! it means fresh host for the void...
that and i seriously dont want to piss of the fristborn of Terry...especailly since we laugh our asses off at the warp....
the warp essentially ties reality to a table and has suprise torture/insane shit done to it...we make that shit look like a tea-party...
and we do it EVER damn Second were in this awsome realm of fiction, death, carnage, and blood.
also who wants to vote Anima for Baron/king of murdermachines? is it possible for murdermachines to create it owns monarch?
also hows the fort? i really feel the need to know whats going on and how the map looks....have we reclaimed most of the fort and sealed off the other entrences untill such a time when we can abandon the surface? (im thinking eventually some deity will start getting upset were fucking with the "balance" or whatever and start sending elves and Humans to start screwing us over...not to mention manipulate the Spawn into driving us underground...and by the void its starting to work since the surface is a deathtrap that mordor would be GREEN with envy of...hehe...green...
also i go with the whole screw the surface and make a pit of death around the fort...kinda make it a underground tower...or even better, find a way to turn the fort into a upside-down spire pointing to hell....with the surface as the "base"....makes some sort of fucked up sense that underground would be considered "the real sky/air" to a dwarf...none of that shjitty sunshine, cold breezes, the feeling of freshcut clean grass under your boots!!!
and elves froliking in the damn woods...who knows what happend to the wood before we got our hands on it? (wood is only usefuol for the process of making soap and charcol...wish we could make beds out of stone...)
So...any plans for going full out subterrainian city independent of the surface?
Or will we eventually take over hell to journey to the new world for deathgate 3...which means i suggest we start out at or near a necromancers tower and say we got summoned straight out of hell...the 5 escape with a wagon of basic supplies after a nasty fight, the others are scattered across the world (Elves...they alwasy mess somthing up...even when they become necromancers...) before we return to "punish" the corpse humpers and then attack hell again, and of course wage untold war against goblins, elves, and the spawn!!!
i so cant wait for this to start!!!
(and if im free ill go for overlord for a weekend, might get my turn done and typed up! might not have pictures though...)

It is, we have a Divine Mandate.
Post by: ChaosMaker on February 25, 2014, 12:15:23 am
VOTE FOR THE FRISTBORN AS KING!!! THE VOID DEMANDS IT MAGGOTS!!!
also would you like a adamantine based room/temple? im sure we can find a way to make a few pits where you can amuse yourself with goblin/kolbold/human/elf slaves stuck in such pits to feed on whatever scraps you cast off to them...arifact furniture i should guess...yes...perhapes thta would be best.
after all, none of us want to be trapped in the void forever, which is why there hanst been a betrayer in Deathgate, in well, ever! after all none of us are dumb enough to piss off the one being who can send us into a nightmare that which we will never wake or escape from.
anyway from insane ramblings of a mad-dwarf that was stuck in the void to long trying to not be seen/felt/whatever in the void, would we become our own independent moutain home then? if such then we might not get mirgrants...unless we lure in a large horde of meatbags to be our slaves. (i got a idea for cast system-
Anima:Demi/true-void-divine being that we all worship and desire to please in our of mad way....so terry doesnt claim us all...like those poor bastards in deathgate 1...
Named dwarfs=nobles of the fort...
Non-named dwarfs aka:unclaimed dorfs= slave population
Dorf caravan:somthing wwe trade with, nothing more
Humans: annoying pests that we MIGHT trade with if we feel like it
Elves: Fresh meat for the beasties.
Spawn:kill em all
Goblins:pests that must absolutly die..or be even worse slaves then before
kolbolds and any other senetinet being that attacks us:not even worth mentioning
anyway one last question, been looking at the DF development, will seiges eventually dig into our fort? if so then they can completely bypass any security we make...annoying...unless we make the fort 100 levels down filled with lava as a moat. see ya all tomorrow...hopefully lord fristborn found a way around our food crisis...damn eggroasts...makes me think we could weaponize it or give it to the elves/humans...or have the kolbolds eat it.
does puff get over his syndorm? (or does he pull a "I got better" situation)
if anything we should be calling Puff a blessed one or somthing, because he clearly did somthing worthy or being "cured" of death and most of the paralyalisis...

Import:Unholy Desecration
Export: Genocide
The sad part is, these voidspawn aren't what I intended.
My planned voidspawn were far nastier, but the civilization population mechanics were too tricky. (Hell, they barely breed as is.)
And they never use proper items or skills.
Honestly, Voidspawn overlords were suppose to be given four steel weapons and a full set of steel armor with the proper skills.
The battles I tested them in were so ridiculously one sided that it might be a good thing they got broke.

Clearly, Armok intervened with the process. He's the god of blood after all, not some sort of death or..."shudder" justice diety. A one sided battle would spill much less blood than what would reasonably sate his insatiable need. And while dwarven bodies lack the inherent blood supply of larger creatures, those voidspawn husks must be filled to the brim with the hallowed ichor he seeks.

A voidspawn overlord in steel was tearing apart entire squads of well-trained, armed-and-armored dwarves. With no hands or weapons. It was beautiful. He was just this ironclad torso slamming into dwarves and ripping them apart, like some kind of fanged land torpedo.

Considering the life expectancy of your average soldier in Murdermachines, this would probably be pretty good death training. If they become legendary deathers, they'd be able to do it real quick.

The Red Monster Sword
the artifact so powerful and deadly, it had to be sealed away...im guessing the sword became senteint when HE came...
my Lord fristborn of the void...
the sword...
it is Terry's
is it possible to, ya know...maybe a bit of divine interfearence? after all Puff lived...it would be a shame if the sword didnt fall down and kill some poor sucker...(after all, the blade NEEDS death...im all for giving it to a adamantine covered along with adamantine clothed unit (put clothes under the adamantine armour...made from adamantine...or somthing fire-retardent...or just plain as hell make the dwarf immune to fire already!))

I mean, the material (red monster flame) doesn't exist. Closest is fire man flame.

Biting is kind of OP for some reason. I'm not quite sure why, perhaps because of the contact area involved or something treating teeth as a very sharp weapon?
I've seen dwarves bite through stone-bodied Titans before, so, yeah. Had a rookie bite a giant stone bug titan's head off.

Urist 16
1. On the first day of summer, the Firstborn, Lord of the Void, decended unto the mortal realm once more. And he came to take the body of Kogsak Sakzulus. He made himself known to his people of the Fortress of Murdermachines.
2. From his follows came song of praise and worship that was heard by all the men and beasts of the realm.
3. And so he spoketh unto his people, "My name is AnimaRytak, Firstborn of Terry, Prime Disciple of He Who Dwells Within the Void. Through I there is salvation for those that would worship my name and follow the blessed word."
4. And the Lord spoke, "Minkerrow has returned unto the void. But fear not, for life is not unbreaking for the faithful. The chosen shall live again and without ending for enternity."
5. And the praise and worship was again heard by the men and beast of the realm.
6. "I shall lift thee up amongst thy mortals. And you shall liveth like a lion amongst a flock. Those who desireth life unending must follow my laws."
7. "The unfaithful, the unclean, the unworthy; all must be cast forth from the gaze of ye Lord."
8. "Thou shalt not live amongst the goblins, nor trolls, nor kobolds, nor voidspawn. Nor shall the faithful endure their existence."
9. "Thou shalt not consort with any elves other than Cacame."
10. And thou shalt only consort with clean humans. Do not stand with those who are mishappen, or blind, or lame.
11. "Now harkon my followers, be faithful to my commandments and cleanse this Holy Land in the name of thine Lord."
12. And so went forth the masses, lead by their Lord. He gripped a warhammer of slade in his left hand and a great battleaxe of adamantine in his right. Unto his enemies he brought great suffering, and his armies great sorrow.
13. With his great strength, the Firstborn fells dozens of enemies. When he laid hands upon an enemies limbs, they were claimed by him.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/torehisarmoff.png)
14. From the battles, the great NCommander was injured, and thus loses his arm beneath his left shoulder. And Wlerin lost his right hand. And Ulborb is stabbed in the foot.
15. The Firstborn laid hands upon his injured followers, and their injuries became that of the flesh.
16. And the next day Wlerin rose from his bed and went unto the fortress. NCommander and Ulborb languished in their beds, despite the Firstborns blessing.
17. And hence, the Goblins and Trolls were removed from Murdermachines, and all was well in the kingdom of the Void.

may he not trap me forever in a abyss of pain and suffering...
also this scares me more then Vg on a rampage...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
This pleases me.
can i have my dragon please? i need somthing to cower beheind and pray that he doesnt cast his most melevolent gaze upon me...
also the only thing worse than a slade Hammer and a aadamantine battleaxe would be for the axe to be made of adamantine adborned with demon flame and the axe to a atom crusher itself.
but then HE might show again...i dont want to spend enternity in the void...not when i filled my last hosts lungs with the decay of the air, the ash in the wind, feeling the blood soaked ground beneath my feet...the screams echoing within my ears...and the sight that would be the envy of any dark lords hold...Murdermachines...
plus now that HE is now in the forums i think we need to be extermly carefull of Offending His Most Deadly FPS Death/Save Canceling/Life cancel/Undeath Canceling powers...
im starting to think were creating a whole new religon here on deathgate...somone inform the creator of the gods that a new member (more powerful then even Armok) has risen...
also lets hope HE doesnt overlord the fort next...i really dont want to be there when he shows up. but knowing my luck...Terry might start being an overseer just for the laughs as he casts his most melevolent gaze upon us for amusement (both in blessings and in curses...mostly curses me thinks for the laughs...and unexplainable host Deaths!)
seriously though, ive been gone for a day maybe and look what happens...also who opened the save file that Let Him be Unleashed!?! cause im certain as hell thought he would be tormenting those poor bastards back at deathgate 1 for the lolz...unless...
dorfs....
hes come to finish the job

Also, was the Slay'dhammer made via DFHack or the proper, Deathgate way of giving moody dwarves access to impossible materials? If the first, shame on you, The Voidgod doesn't need it to turn stuff into small, mushy heaps of flesh. If the second, yay, we pulled another flamesword. What was the flamesword o' doom called?

Did we even have a militia last time? I mean, the Void God had the killing power of five elite squads. All we had to do was to point him in the right direction and he'd reduce whatever enemy he found into a bloody paste. We depended on him too much; once he was gone, we didn't stand a chance.
Use the Void God only as long as we lack any militia of use; once we have obtained a regular army, dispose of him as you see fit.

Setting up a regular army ain't that difficult, if a slight investment. Just got to scroll through available dwarves for their physical traits, find those most useful to the military as a whole, and put them into training squads with defined equip weapons. Get a solid cap, leggings, mail, gauntlets, and low boots along with a wooden shield, and their stats'll rise real quick. Armor user and shield user'll be the most prevalent for survival, dodging's more of a consequence. Easier when you have experienced war dwarves, as their sparring goes 80+ pages of the taps.

you frogot greaves and a breastplate. and have it replace their clothing.
also Anima, if we have excess useless metal (iron or copper) i suggest making metal-clothing. would be intresting to have everyone in copper clothes, would think it wont wear out as fast and the fact its a redish metal means that storywise they wont freak out so much with blood covering them. unless their soaked in it like VG every other day before his Rum break.
also anyone say we put VG in a danger room with wooden (training) spears and see if we can get his recuperation up to notch so he wont spend as much time in the Death-Room of Horrors now that Mad Fools back?
considering the metal storage do we even have metal armour? if not then dig deep, make the fort even deeper then ever, and abandoen the old parts of the fort and seal them right up. shame we cant flood it with lava and cool it so we can strip-mine for obsidean and make a monolith for a beacon. ya know just mak our place a little more permament...
anyone thinking an Aztec pyramind style building filled with traps that would make the old Death-bridge of deathgate look like a pansy when we have the Dorf-power for it?

Also, for a moment there I thought you said "mental storage". Calling Murdermachines a storage place for mental cases would be a rather accurate statement, by all accounts.
Making a pyramid-design entrance would be nice, especially if we could implement some science testing to see if fluids go through a bridge encased in obsidian. If not, we can just put one of those (invaders path through them) as the invaders' entrance (leaving another, close-able entrance nearby for use by migrants and such) and set lava to stream down the sides of the pyramid. Instant massacre. If they do, we can set up a system to draw extra power from the falling lava.

i agree with you on the mental storage thing...pretty damn accurate if you take whats happened to this place, alongwith the deathgate series. and the pyramid design would allow us to make a impressive defensive stucture. Not to mention the lava or water would make things look awsome! (bonus if it poushes invaders down the sides and forces them to use the invader entrence you described...)
also the obsidian would no doubt please the the fristborn in its design. plus pyramids are cool. why do you think the ancients used them?!? its a symbol of ultimate power that we can waste resources in a definsive and somewhat astehetic project that may or may not kill our fort whilke were at it! and if it does the magic of the divine intervention powers could...time-travel...(considering were having miracles happen damn right daily in the fort!)...at least untill deathgate 3 opens up!
Post by: Dwarf4Explosives on March 01, 2014, 02:22:11 pm
What do you mean with "force through the invader entrance"? They're already trying to path to the invader entrance. All we have to do is make an overly complicated and long path to the fortress that's at least 3x3 to allow wagons through and we have the "proper" entrance. I still have no idea on how to force migrants to take that path instead of the other, which, if migrants arrive during a siege, will be a serious problem.
Post by: ChaosMaker on March 01, 2014, 09:34:56 pm
still im guessing that single floor tile is the equivelent of tempered slade if it can hold a island size thing in the air. but the tension allows it to be easily cut away with a pickaxe.
other then that looking forward to seeing an update on the forts situation.
thats if we havent already died again.
in which case....
either pick a new spot because we wont be burrowing anytime soon...or

9th Malachite, Mid-Summer
The Voidgod's return has lead the extermination of the trolls and goblins that inhabte the fortress. Foul beasts still stalk the caverns, this we all know, but the fortress itself is free of the filth.
The militia, has they are aptly called, have been exploring the uncharted tunnels that were lost in one of our many exodus from this land. In one of the first tunnels, two trolls were found along with a dwarven skeleton. In some of the other lost regions, we've uncovered catacombs that our home to our honored dead.
The first battle between the troll and the poorly trained militia goes poorly until the Voidgod intervenes. A hammer that none of us can even lift is swung so quickly that it becomes a blur. The clincher, however, is his fist. He strikes a blow so hard that the troll is knocked unconscious.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/StopHammerTime.png)
There is no mercy from our Lord. He is not a deity of love or compassion. Only extermination. He is a true Dwarven god.
The rest of the militia isn't so grand. Prosnorkus is slaughtered by a single goblin swordsman in mere seconds. Two other daemonslaves are cut down as well.
22nd Malachite, Mid-Summer
We rediscovered an old arena deep below the earth.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/arena.png)
Like every other part of the underfortress, the place is teaming with goblins and trolls. Krosan falls in the battle for the arena.
In just a few short days, our militia has been cut in half.
On the positive side, many of our ghosts have been entombed and put to rest.
2nd Galena, Late Summer
Eight fresh migrants arrived. Half of them are drafted into the military and sent to the training room. I do not know if we have the steel to equip them with, but we require their arms non the less.
The corpse stockpile has been enlarged and the order has come down to collect all of our fallen. I fear this is a fools task, as the dead are too numerous to count.
In other news, a potter has been taken by a fey mood and has claimed a craftdwarfs station. After several days, his work leaves us in awe.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/voidbonearmor.png)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/voidbonearmor.png)
As it turns out, the dwarf was taken by AseaHaru, and our fellow dwarf's newfound talents have been put to work in creating bone bolts.
26th Galena, Late Summer
An ambush occurs on the surface. The VoidGod arrives in short order.
His fury is unrestrained. Skulls are crushed with his bare hands, limbs are shattered with his great slade hammer, and goblins are kicked apart.
28th Galena, Late Summer
We had feared the Mad Fool had died. We received a report stating "The Mad Fool has"
However he seems fine. Although he's been standing around doing nothing for some time.
In other news, the training room is finished. Improper armor has lead to many bruises and bloody scrapes. A quick inspection shows we have are sorely lacking in greaves. I've ordered our armorers to remedy this situation immediately.
Post by: ChaosMaker on March 02, 2014, 11:50:26 pm
thank god anima is on our side...
the slade warhammer is awsome...im thinking this happened:
VG swings hammer thinking boredly about what deities think when their bored.
troll gets ass kicked and then starts to look sick
Vg-"oh me no..."
*vg has punched the troll and knocked it uncouncious*
VG-walks away after killing the troll in a epic godly fashion
thankfull the arena has been found.
usggest the capture and torment of goblinbs my-lord, it may be undwarvenly to capture prey in cage traps then to slaughter them all, but the added bonous is to grab their equipment, (save for things to large or small for dwarves to use, those can be sold!) but also cannon fodder for our dwarves to practice their craft on....and eventually when theyve reached a 100 sentient kills (or just go into plain doesnt care anymore due to killing so damn much) we can have a millitary of uber dwarves...and then send them against hell clad in either full plate of steel or adamantine.
the VG...hes clad in Slade Armour...or somthing akin to that! (also whats the effectivness of voidspawn bones as armour? i truly wish we could have a slade suit of armour for VG to alwasy wear, that would mean he would be impervious to almost all damage...also i suggest we toughen up VGs body to be able to handle healing quantities faster, now this may seem heresy for us but having vg slightly hurt each time would make his recuperation abilities go allot faster, also seeing with recuperation going up would be able to go through fire-immunity plan, thus making our lords avatar of doom all the more effective...especally against magma based creatures that use fire! not to mention getting kills against beings of fire!...wish we had the red monster sword, that would be awsome to give to him!)

Aren't artifacts weapon-proof?
yes, in headshoots (from what i understand) their god-like avatar of destruction was able to weild a handbag and decimate sieges alone...clad in a artifact adamantine breastplate thats so covered in blood and gore its permamently stained the colors...not to mention SHE was increbile insane and powerful.
lets put it this way, the adamantine armour was so good she was essentially the VG of their world.
the legacy of HER spawn plaueged many a sequel of those series....
lets just say that if she and VG fought, i wont know who wins (if that bitch used her real weapon instead of a silk bag! which i think either was a adamantine sword or spear...not sure which!)

Bear in mind that Headshoots was on the old wound system. Toady completely rewrote the damage and wounding system between then and now, and Dwarf Fortress became way the fuck more lethal as a result.
Also,

Now that I have a bit more time to get wordy.
First off, I'm pretty sure it was a backpack. Could be wrong, but I believe.
Second, it used the old skill+stat progression system. Gaining any kind of skills improved a dwarf's strength, toughness, and agility, so dwarves with extremely high skills also had godlike stats to go with them. HolisticDetective didn't have god-tier weapon skills since she spent most of her time wielding her backpack (another old bug that I believe went away with the new military systems), but the other superchampion at least was a blademaster several dozen times over and had VG-tier physical stats as a result.
Third, the wounding system was much, much more abstract back then. Stories like someone throwing a fluffy wambler and critting a bronze colossus's head off happened because critical hits did silly stuff back then. A single bolt could hit you and obliterate every organ in your body. But if something didn't crit and actually damage you it basically didn't do anything if you had armor. Between the new stat system no longer giving high-skill dwarves Wolverine-level endurance and the new wounding system making hits more dangerous, the chances of any dwarf doing the kind of stuff that the Headshoots champions did much, much lower. (The VG, in either incarnation, would probably be turned into cat chow in a straight fight with HolisticDetective.)
Fourth, damage systems were rewritten as well. Toady coded a system that takes into account concepts like the weapon's hardness, how well it makes a blade, and its density; this is why a silver shortsword is worthless and a silver warhammer will cave in a dragon's skull, because silver makes a horrible edge but is really ninjaflippin' heavy, and candy makes a terrific blade (because it's super sharp) but a horrible mace (because it's about as heavy as styrofoam). In theory, improvised weapons like HD's backpack would be fairly weak under the new system.
Times change, I suppose. One could mourn the loss of Headshoots-style demigod champions or Boatmurdered-style elephant hordes and world-destroying magma cannons.
(On the other hand, times do change for the better, too, because you couldn't build minecart railguns in Headshoots, either.)
So, my suggestion for a mega project: Would a "train moat" work? Set up a track enabling us to send minecarts onto a circular track that goes around the Murdermachines walls and rig booster track to it in places, using either a BATTEREY device or a windmill farm to power it. Add minecarts to it so that they can circle it eternally, perhaps loaded with stones or giant buzzsaw blades. Hmm.

Wait...why in the Hellbunker did you make him sub-perfect (9000 is the max, I believe)? Did you at least melt his fat off of his body?
Oh, and yes, kefka, it can work. I suggested a small version for a fort's entrance, but it was shot down for being overpowered ???.
for one i think for lolz, also how do you do that? modding the files?
and two, i suggest we make several for murdermachines entrences...and then watch as the elves get MURDERED in the front gates.
also i suggest we send VG into a recuperation period while he trains up our millitary...*and only comes out in the event of a seige or voidspawn!*
also load em up with steel saw blades, can coins do damage in this if their launched from the minecarts?
because im imagining minecarts going around rapidly using windmill-power and a mini battery to power them, and the minecarts loaded with steel coins, when they ram into somthing the coins will either weigh the cart down enough to cause it to squish somthing, or be sent pelting their faces over 1000+ times, out of those thousand some might do yellow injuries, out of those few some might do orange or even grey...and out of the very few some red injuries to boot!
finally i still go with the suggestion to breed dragon megabeasts to help invade hell!

He's already capable of pulverizing goblin flesh brains into Chunky Goblin Salsa. If I made him any stronger, he'd make the ocean's red with blood.
so?
more dwarvness for us! dwarvenbonus if he doesnt care anymore and becomes a blood-knight! extra bonus if he can one-shot a steel collassos with his bare fists while hes in adamantine armour (full-plate, as well as light armour underneath!).
whats his skills/stuff like though? his stats? (strength, endurance, agility, recuperation, ect. ect.)
also will he be leading the Murder-sqaud of super dwarves dedicated to fighting the circus? (and the spawn)
also an idea...anyone think the hollisticspawn would be a good idea to incorperate into our story ind eathgate 3? we can have them rivals with the voidspawn and see them tear each other limb from limb...also the fact in spearbreakers the spawns bite was infectous...so we could end up with experimental subjects to drop into hell for the sheer !FUN! of it.
also adamantine threads...good idea for medical ward or no?

There's always a chance a voidspawn or something will get a lucky hit on the VG, possibly ending him and the fortress. So I would prepare in the event that the VG dies due to extreme bad luck.For the record, VGs physical stats are over 7500.I was pretty sure he was invulnerable the last time around and look how that ended :D

Technically speaking, he isn't actually dead. Gone, yes. But his corpse doesn't exist.

Oh, yea. I think my post got buried, what do I do to be an Overseer? Or are there even any spots for that?To become an overseer of murdermachines you just need to prove critical lack of foresight and critical reasoning.

....Congrats on getting the
but seriously how good are they? and who joined it? finally i want a turn somtime soon, maybe in the next installment...not good enough at getting fortresses off the ground...as in not died a horrific death yet!!! been capturing every mega-beast and demi-megabeast in cage traps...for my greta hall of shame of course! plus i figured out how to get magma from a volcano...got a 2 smelters and 3 forges out of it! with minimal danger to my dwarves...
i suck at this insanity thing! (HE has not been in my computer yet...shame...
even im not crazy enough to try and get back together with an ex-girlfreind...though i am crazy/stuipd enough to read the deathgate series, and pretty much headshoots, that one fort that had all those elephant fearing armok-voidless souls and spearbreakers....and read deathgate itself!!!
now i got a dwarf in murdermachines about maybe 2x nows...wanting a third shot....now i seriously want to try my hand at overseering! Might even get the fort to horrificly die by accident.
good luck with the meatsacks Fristborn...
TeReY...stay out of my computer....i want to see my frist group of elves in my bolcano map die from lava...jnot from random FPS Death!!!
What to do as an Overseer:
1)make the elves dead and take everything they have
2)make a massive great-hall filled with copper, silver, and maybe gold.
3)make murdermachines or future installment of the forts continuation rely on either copper or iron bins, wood is for beds only!!!
4)buy every whip and give them to the gaurds of the fort for shits and giggles-mostly from humans and taken from goblins
5)capture shitloads of goblins and dump them into a 3x3 pit with no way out...froget they exist down there and continually send them in for continous shits and giggles.
6)when at least 2-3 pages of goblins are in the hole fill it with water. watch them drown open up wall containing them...send in the fortress guard with whips to slaughter the rest.-repeat and rinse, for added cruelty find way to dump buckets of magma onto them, bonus if the magma covers boulders dropped off
7)when turn nearly over...vicously dig for caverns or for adamantine...start rebuilding of the fort near said adamantine deposit, also put not for future projects so next overseer can fuck it over in less then one season.
RINSE AND REPEAT! (expect diffrent results each time!)
note: for voidspawn captives dump in a secondary pit...this pit will be for marksdwarves with wooden bolts...or bone, whichever were feeling comfterble with at the moment...when enough are packed in thewre make a tunnel to the circus, let the clowns out...watch the havoc while laughing at the top of the hole...seal tunnel up...WACTH THEM ALL DIE!!!
2nd note:hope were next to a volcano...make floors heated in great hall via a sea of magma...make sure to seal hole to the "heating" floor...especally near the kitchen/butcher/fishing/sill...watch as everyone bitches about the heat ruining everything...laugh ass off privately
Note 3:....DRAGONS BITCHES!!! *find way to tame several dragons, make a production of murdermahcinbes or future deathgate installment have war dragons for the millitary...send them to the circus...watch them all die!!!...cull the weak and the slow from the dragon flock, those will be fore bones and leather armour/clothes.*
note to self: find ways to torment elves trapped in cages from continous deforestation and capture of eleven caravans...hope elves seige....take elves and send them into own pit...froget they exist for 3 decades...see if they turned into orcs yet....expose to daylight to test this! if not let the magma in

Fungin, Lurker, and Tomio have slaved for weeks to craft ten sets of fine steel armor. A coat of mail, a breastplate, two gauntlets, boots, a set of greaves, a helm, and a shield.
Of course, for the VoidGod, only adamantine will do.
27th Limestone, Early Autumn
Mining has begun beneath the fortress at the orders of the overseer. Our metal industry demands raw materials and perhaps a more proper workshop. The current workshop is so far below ground that work is slow and tedious.
4th Sandstone, Mid-Autumn
Some tunnels in the upper layer were uncapped. Unsurprisingly, the inside was absolutely teeming with goblins and trolls.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Thirteen goblins and trolls. Nine dwarves in steel. Once, not long ago, this would be a suicidal battle for all except the Voidgod. But now comes our proving. The order is given. Every enemy is to be felled.
The battle is glorious.
Wlerin, despite missing a hand, shows how far he has come under the VoidGod's instruction.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/wlerinB.png)
NCommander has taken to wielding a silver flail with brutal results.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Rytak/ncommanderb.png)
Ulborb, wielding a steel longsword, impales a troll's skull and scores a kill in a single blow.
Wlerin scores the final kill.
At the end of the battle, thirteen unclean goblins or trolls have been felled. Our army is unscathed.
Murdermachines no longer has a militia.
We have an army.

still yes im a bit mad....when i get my turn expect me to either mess up the fort big time, or just plain ass hell fuck everything over all for a gaint great hall 20-25 levels down....ill reveal my plans when i get the chance for deathgate-3....i can most certain garrenty that my reign will be positivly....
cHaOtIC...

(yes im a dragon fanatic...even the deamons in my head screaming for venegence as i ate their beings pretty much hate my guts...what do you think i fricken did in the void when i was trying to hide from HIM, i found a way to the warp, managed to eat a deamon, go slightly nuts, eat more, go even more insane, find a little dimension to screw with, wait my turn to get back into murdermachines, die, rinse and repeat....now waiting to get home and have a turn at deathgate-3....any ideas on a good name?

WHO TOLD YOU!?!
ermmm...yeah...moving on...and hell yeah i played dawn of war games, even dawn of war 2 along with its expansion...not to mention that other dawn of war game thats currently out...hehe...killing kyras was one of my best highlets as using the tyranids...."shadow of the warp" my ass! if they cant handle a bit of Dwarfy madness then those bugs dont deserve to eat the galaxy...THATS MY JOB!!!
also im thinking on making the 4 chaos gods as my slave/pencil pushers....kinda like ouir bookkeepers for the chronicles of deathgate...armok, Terry, and the fristborn knows how much we need the shit all cataloged...itll take them enternity just to get deathgate's true toll in the number books...not to mention qwhen we frist grabbed murdermachines...
also it wasnt me who let him out...HE just got lose on his own...if anything you guys shouldnt be suprised that i hid in the warp and ate it in a fit of madess...i might not be as powerful as you guys in the void...
BUT hell help you if i get my hands on the fort...itll probably go mad with chaos runes scteched every-damn place.
On another note: what shall we do if we capture a necromancer? i suggest locking them away in their own little hole near a refuse stockpile and a corpse stockpile...not enough for them raise the dead, but enough that when we breach hell we can unleash the corpse humpers on the clowns...also the goblins as well and any voidspawn...epic 4 way battle while we dwarves sit upon our thrones aboce them watching them all DIE.

Kefka...we all know hell doesnt exist anymore, heck we went and broke it the frist time around. what we have here is Dwarfy Madness...or DM for short...(aka:the guy who controls fucking everything and you dont want to piss off...ROCKS FALL AND EVERYONE DIES!!!)
note:we should totally do the rocks fall and everyone dies...MORE STONE TRAPS AROUND MURDERMACHINES!!! IT IS DWARFY TO USE ROCKS TO CRUSH SOMONES SKULL!!!
finally- Anima:if i get into the millitary...give me scourges...in full steel armour (plus anything you feel a beserking lasher would need, prefers steel scourges but will take any other metal scourge)...i will flay the flesh off your enemies bones...feed their living souls to the warp that now obeys my will...and when they are driven mad with despair and totally broken...only then shall they experince YOUR blessing of the void.
Also if you paticularly want somthing in a cage trap totally bleeding on the floor of a torture room...well i got some tips from the warp that will make them SCREAM.
sides every great place need a dedicated torture chamber...thats not to say were already the damn place and its employees, but the thought counts!
also if we get roks then fine ill train them..but dragons breath dragonfire...and thats more powerful then demon-fire i thinks. plus they give shitloads of leather, scales, and nice bones if we manage to find a way to modify hemt o grow into adult-hood faster and reprduce more...plus shitlaods of food to! and soap...yes i said the forbidden word. but fear not! the new soap i have in mind if filled with the moaning despair, tortured souls of beings who lost to time were sacrificed in the most unholy of all rituals in a grand mess of a fubar time...in essence...deathgate, and the souls are from the demon worshipping scum, and elves mostly.

We have like, eight of those. Pits, spikes, magma, arenas, you name it.
Post by: ChaosMaker on March 08, 2014, 02:19:21 am
on the corners make spear traps, all wooden (mostly to prolong the torture) in the middle use a pressure plate. the other 4 areas? make them mini-maga-pits. if they dodge or fall or walk into it...well incineration anyone? and the every now and then dumping of stones on top of the middle...just to keep things intresting. (or replace the magma with water, and have it standing at 3/7 at trap, and then dump the EGGUANA into the pit, all of it...and then dump any FB bodies down into the pit as well as a dumping ground, soon it will be so festered with Syndromes that anything dumped into it would be a death sentence...after that find a way to harvest the FB infested water and turn it into a shower system to then proceed to experiment on any extra bodies we may have. (demi-mega-beasts, voidspawn, ect!)
and then we can let my little pets...
...play with them...
also if you happen to get any possessions...well they might be on a errand for me, mostly just to get some warp-creature artifacts running around screwing with anything non-dwarven.
(anima if you manage it make a seperate stockpile that only accepts arifact quality stuff, weapons, armour, furniture, goods, ect., then gaurd it with the most ingenious, malicous, as well as downright monstrus traps, creatures, ect.)
also anima, in deathgate 3...can we make warpsawn creatures? (hate all life: mutated in mutiple ways, semi-undead, regenerative to insane levels, monstrous strength, thin skin/weak defenses...also fire breathing with flame immunity, well weak flame immunity, anything else is optional, including tentecles and tent-mouths)
hope the fort lives longer anima!...plus with the army, well maybe ill grant them my serving boys bloodlust...(hehehe)...blood knight beserker anyone?
also blame any possessions on me, messing with the warp, well has its consequences, mostly in the fact i let all those warp-spawn lose in a fit of sheer dwarfness...plus im hoping they kill off the elves. well except one of them...(gonna see if i can make him a warp-spawn dwelf (half dwarf half elf).
good luck anima!
if you happen to need a sacrifical cult/summoning horrific beings of sheer will/madness...im yer dwarf fristborn bossdwarf!!!

1)also make them deathly allergic to gnomeblight...also make them want to steal drink from dwarves.
2)suggest we add gnomeblight into our stocks...have gnomes explode on contact with gnomeblight.
3)watch as the decorations paint the outside/inside of murdermachines
4)Profit!!!!
5) see if we can make a new drink, void-drink...made from voidspawn, extra alcholoic....(as in more alcholo content then everclear...around 500% more...as such an dwarf can be escatic just from drinking it!
alright any news from the forts front yet?
have we got a seige nowdays? also is murdermachines clear for population inhabitation? (as in getting the WHOLE of murdermachines fit for dwarf inhabiting)
that way we can move DOWN near the caverns and await the day when we can reach magma, then flood the upper levels of the fort in a array of hazzardous ways to make it a deathtrap for anybody that ACTAULLY manages to get past the front lawn into one of the entrences. and then prepare for the circus invasion. at which point we turn the circus into our little fun-town of joy and happniness...(insert sarcasm and replace the to horrific to describe in words or detail). cause remember, we need to take the shit on the surface into the circus. then live there untill Terry Corrupts us again...
rinse and repeat folks! (hey and maybe we can find a way when the pach comes out to attack the voidspawn/clowns/necromancers/goblins directly!!!)
....
Torch-Light!
....
When the next patch comes out, we invade goblin fortresses and take all their steel-craft...and proceed to raid every other fraction (beasides the flesh-bodies for our souls) untillwe fall, rinse and repeat.

19th Sandstone, Mid-Autumn
Daemonslaves have arrived; ten of them. They, along with the other masons, are set to work flooring the farm areas to avoid the inevitable growth of mushroom trees. The entry way shall be paved as well. This is Murdermachines, temple of the Voidgod. Some architecture is in order.
I've ordered the heart of the fortress to be smoothed, as it always should have been. While this place may never be beautiful, it shall still be a proper fortress.
4th Timber, Late Autumn
Puff has a broken leg. How, I do not know.
9th Timber, Late Autumn
NCommander has given birth to a baby girl. Baltharaaz is the father. The girls name is Rigoth.
The baby is promptly left in a stockpile when NCommander's attention span runs out.
20th Timber, Late Autumn
Dwarven traders have arrived, so I've ordered our piles of junk and crafts hauled to the depot. The amount we have is simply staggering. Hopefully we can aquire something useful. Cheese, fish, and breedable animals would be nice.
However an ambush occurs just as the traders enter Murdermachines. Unfortunately for the kobolds, the military is preforming drills in the courtyard. Not long after, two kobold thieves are spotted inside the fortress. And one of our artifacts is stolen.
Someone remind to me post some fucking guard dogs at the entrance.
The kobolds are slaughtered at the gates. None survives more than a few seconds under the combined onslaught.
2nd, Moonstone, Early Winter
One of the daemonslaves was possessed. By something other than one of us.
Said daemonslave takes over a jewelers workshop and immediately goes to work.
Several days later, the result is a floodgate made of pure ruby. Sadly, it is rather plain in all aspects. No beautiful engravings of myself or anything.
15th, Moonstone, Early Winter
I've ordered the surface fort rebuilt. Useless walls and fortifications shall be thrown down and fresh walls of stone shall be built in their place. I've ordered a new gate built of platinum.
17th, Moonstone
Fungin has given birth to a girl.

finally my dark ritual involving lots fo violence, scourges, a few goblins and innocent souls was completed!!! sending a warp entity into the deamon slave actually worked!! finally, now we can start geting some actual quality goods in the fort! also anima:just post an animal near a stockpile just for artifact quality things, (as in everying but materials such as wood, stone, bars, and food/drink. everything else it only accepts artifact quality stuff! then put in al the artifacts and set a gaurd animal at the entrence!!!
problem with theives solved!
also it seems my work is spreading, hopefully the fruits of my darker labors will benefit murdermachines in the shadows...
all i need to do is weaken the goblin forces by....nuding them slowly to their dooms!!!
also good idea for a platinum gate, i myslef wouldve suggest steel fortifications and walls. but we can get what we all want!!!
anyway looking forward to the nex update! now that the guts of murdermachines are being developed, we should increase the hardend shell and clean up our "yard", a bit, mostly to lure in more unfortunete souls to their dooms!!
Also will send more daemon-slaves soon, mind whispering takes time and effort...not to mention i have to select the most vunreble souls tha are best for our nourishment...its not easy being a warp/void hybrid entity...not storng in either side but able to use both...not the best for ones mind.
if you happen to get.....guests....for the fort all i can say is...oops...
Disclaimer:this void/warp-spawn dwarf is not responsible for any limbs, personal effects, booze, food, or any type of damage to the fort pyshically or mentally due to any uninvited guests, all anger responses or anythign logical (like that will ever happen), emotional, or pyshcotic responses will be ignored in favor of other projects, failure to reside with this disclaimer may result in a failed artifactc reation and said dwarf dying due to either emotional distress or insanity...killing themselves and/or others in the process.

Keep me? Well, so long as you keep me well. That's room and board yes? If so, I accept. However, I won't tolerate any attempts in changing my body's physiology. Except perhaps, to dead. After all, is not death the inevitability of these pitiful lives? How can I be free of death except to go through it myself?
Are you QUITE sure you don't want your physiology changed?
...Did I just... interact... non-destructively..?

Quite. For I have many outstanding arguments hinging around principles related to morphological inertia, identity, purpose, and plot role and how they all interrelate. Besides, this way I can guilt people into things by reminding them that being a mere human is no excuse.

Ah well. It is my job. We are known by many names. "The crazies", "specialized delusional schizophrenics", "philosophers", "stand-up comedians", etc. Our job is simply to stave off all of the cosmic horror present in any given universe by amusing it so much that it refused to destroy humanity. This often involves many mind games and our minds have warped into a twisted shape to accommodate such.
...If you take a turn in this fortress, I shall leave the fortress be. For that year.

The first contact with Terry that wasn't related to devouring souls.
CaptainMcClellan is now greatest negotiator of the void.
well deathgate has its dark diplomate...
"and so with one word, Did Terry breathe life into the mouth of a dorf, in which a thousand worlds suffered enlessly in the pits of despair...and from this mouth came words that put even HE, into a state of pacification....and for that moment all was still...before Armoks kidney exploded in a burst of fiery gore....and then did Terry Laugh, for when he heard the words from the one he hasth raised...he knew it was a darkened evil that which shall one day destroyth the elves of the woods, and turn the cities of men into jibbering piles of flesh and chaos. his name declared by The Dark Lord is CaptainMcClellan"
also Cap, beware, for Terry has his moments when he shall strike, and he didnt say on which forress he shall not interfear...thus making only one of our turns be the one which he shall not interfear of such agreement. thus the mindfuckery will that with ensure will most definetly be more worse then any kind that we have seen before...
AND THATS SAYING ALLOT!
for some reason im guessing somone will end up making the Book of Terry...i fear for the world for but a moment....because no one will be left for me to send my little specks of Vorp (void/warp basterdized magic) magic into their frail pitiful minds...
now that we have a diplomat, im guessing his purpose is to...turn?...the elves in dark worship on which they destroy their own trees? (SOMONE MOD IN DARK ELVES!!!)
well havent updated in a day, so there we go...also mostly disapointed in myself for not causing weird havoc on the forum, this has not be rectified.
(considering i cant doom some dwarves in my own little twisted world-considering i havent been stuffed into a new body yet (side note: anima, if you get a scourge ill take the nearest non-named dorf and be the lash of the fort...i alwasy enjoyed seeing those who deserve it *such as goblins and trolls* get their dues...*)-)
good luck anima with the fort, cant see he pictures from here due to the bad internet connection this facility has, but i shall endevor to see them (as well as any others) that you guys end up putting on when i get home for a 3-day weekend.
finally i have this to say...
Even terry can be appleased...it just takes the right amount of insanity/comidian....i vote for captainMcClellan to be the dark preist of murdermachines if he gets a dorf all in favor say eithe aye or some other random word...those who disagree...face HIS wrath and despair...on a side note please step into the beacon and be taken back into the void while your at it and not have a body for a few years.
later all!

ive never been more proud/mad to be a dwarf right now...
and considering we MADE the madness incarnate at the end of Deathgate 1...well..not suprising we could find somone amoung our number to talk it down. the TV tropes page that has all our shit well, they VASTLY underestimate our
...
lets just call it a average thusday for us on bay-12.
good luck my fellow madness incarnate beings of death and chaos!!!
other then that, whens the next update!!! i want to see some goblin skulls laid in a nice little row in front of murdermachines yawning deathpit entrence...and turn it into somthing like sarumans Uruk-hai pits from LOTR...the sunshaft would allow our dwarves to be immune to sunlight as we live in the caverns below...and yes im still saying we should once we secure murdermachines as a whole make for the cavaerns and turn their entirty into food production facilites, the upper levels for farming animals and trees(muddy the ground for moss and such), the next set of caverns for food production from crops. and finally our craft-shops should be around magma level, with our dwarves living just inbetween the two caverns and a massive great hall with a TRUE Beacon Sitting squat in the middle, everything made our of obsidian...walls, floors, and of course the funiture...any artifact furniture thats not anima's personal property should go into this massive hall of doom....
now that my mad plans been laid out again i bid you all farewell till later!!!

11th Opal, Mid-Winter
A construction accident has somehow blasted a hole in the roof of the fortress. Somehow this pierced two floors before stopping in the kitchens.
I really don't know how they did that.
No matter, I've designated a road built into the fortress. But not a simply road of stone.
I've ordered our road to be built from iron.
13th Opal, Mid-Winter
Rigoth the baby was impaled on spikes.
25th Opal, Mid-Winter
Lashidang has bled to death. Not quite sure why.
In any case, the surface fort has been remodeled, a road has been mostly built, and I've moved onto my next project.
A magma pump stack and a new BATTERY.

the madness of the warp has sent my whispered prayers to our lord anima!!!
now with our obsidian Beacon/Great hall (the beacons disguised as a pillar of large obsidian stone in the middle of the hall...go figure!) bringing more of our rbveathern from the void...
and it looks like Terry has begun his assult once again...that or its just murdermachines deadly, deadly, deadly politics from the void comming into play once again...
that and i had nothing to do with Lash's untimely demise....
nothing at all...
....
ANYWAY....i thank you anima for using my great idea of destruction and death...the explosion...ehh....mightve been me trying to see if Vorp can affect the mortal realm...new rule...do not apply Vorp magic untill the dimensional Twist/bending reality of the might TOAD being unleashes...that and Vorp magic tends to explode violently when subjecting matter to infusion with warp magic (tiwisting relaity to my whim) and sending a tiny fragment of the enternal void to be bound to the small rock i used as the experiment...the gem didnt survive...or that if it did...well...beware any cut genms that are darkendd black and seem to drive any mortal being to the brink of insanity. pretty sure it got blasted outside of murdermachines or just melted its way into the magma depths...hmmm...maybe the new beacon will be powered by this source?
and again...i had nothing to do with lashs death...and if you find any sort of warpspawn magic upon his corpse...he started it.

Post by: ChaosMaker on March 15, 2014, 12:56:20 am
the one time Terry didnt fuck with the fort...
are we doomed yet?
Also Dwarven Bunker Buster...yeah, invented awhile ago, did the messages say it was a cave in? im pretty sure that the Dorf Information Gathering System (aka-random dwarves seeing shit and then somehow piling the reports from where they are to anima's throne-room for him to reveiw) or DIGS for short, is pretty damn accurate down to the T of what happens around the damn place. Well besides the ocasional vampire attack or werewolf infection untill the bodies are discovered.
and no, its dwarfy to have as many deaths via the unimportance, how many resources it costs, and the value of said project. make a metal pyramid the size of the map and lose half the fort=worth it. have it reach the Circus in a bizzar case of mazes and, storages, traps, rooms, and have said dwarven colony living in the Circus?
And finally, seriously being weirded out that terrys helping us...either Captain is the best damn fucking diplomat of deathgate series that was able to change terrys mind on tormenting us for enternity for sheer damn amusement (worse then Armok ever could), or hes screwing with us again.
personally i think its both...the one year of terry not fucking the fort up is going by anima's turn...
also the funny thing is we made the bunker buster indoors...shame we cant use it against the elves...hmmm....anyone thinking that when we get millitary expiditions we tunnel into goblin fortresses, and then use the bunker buster to destroy said citidel and take whatevers left in the ruins back to the hold?...i seriously cant wait to get some payback against the gobo's and the kolbolds in the future.
finally any progress on capturing animals for war-trainning? ive been thinking on either getting badgers or wolverines...then war trainning them...
(dragons and roks to if we manage to lure them here!)

Don't poke at the sleeping lion.
Or in this case, Terry. Which is much, much worse.
But its so much fun to poke the sleeping god in the eye!!!
that and with anima getting the battery up and a massive great hall (whats the maximum size a great hall/meeting hall can be in DF?) with all the artifact furniture thatsw not claimed by our demi-god king lord fristborn the frist!!!
anyway looking to see what the next update brings. hopefully we get some pictures and some-more content on the going-ons of the fort.
maybe we'll have an all steel army, with all our dwarves wearing leather clothing (besides the socks...leather has better defensive things then cloth or silk...any chance we can make silver clothing though? mask our dark dwarven avatars in silver and watch in glee as the bodies swarm to our dark kingdom for our amusement. Thaqt and them being our chaos-gods play toys while we dont suffer...as long as we have sacrifices we wont be targeted...on a good day...)
also if we do poke said god, we must remeber that it made Khorne the blood god cry like a bitch, fucked with every plan that the god of change made and forced it into a non-changing role, cured and improved every poison and desease that nurgle came up with, and turn the pervert into a celibate.
all in a minute real time...
its obvious...deathgate's chaos god is more powerful then the warp ever will be.

now do you see why were all chaoticly evil? plus good and evil is a elf thing...were either DO IT!!!! or DONT DO IT!!!! people...the maroon lycis is the thing we usually go for, due to the fact were bored as fuck and murdermachines has cleaned out its goblin infestation...no vampires or voidspawn threats yet. (hopefully anima gets the battery and the great hall finished soon!!)
alright now thats over with...captain, we are not evil, thats for tree-*due to new warp censors these following words have been blocked for younger veiwers*-corpse eating bastards of a tree and a human mixing with a donkey.
sigh, now my anger issues taken its toll on the elven soul slaves trapped in the warp, hows the fort doing anima? Also hows life my fellow dorfs?

Fucker's never kept his stuff inside cyberspace. Wrecked my hard drive a while back, if I remember rightly. Downloaded the Murdermachines save, and then BAM! Need to buy a new one.What, you too? When I downloaded the save my internet went Error everytime I tried to restart previous session.
Honestly? Akira is fucking tame. You want High-Octane Nightmare Fuel?Fran, seriously?
I had more nightmares from End of Evangelion than that.

For monsters Berserk and 6000 were pretty good, IMHO.

Never read Berserk or 6000, but I did like Claymore's monsters (although that's probably more the fact that they tended to be based off of naked chicks :P).

for some reason im just bored when i looked at those pictures....and the frist thing that crossed my mind-
thaty looks a tad uncomfterble....needs more molten fire and doom....not to mention elderitchy dwarves rampaging across the pages with adamantine battle axes and slade warhammers...all for the sake of ripping them al to shreds and tossing molten metal fragments up their asses and then cooling them with their warp piss which spawns even worse elderitchy abominations of chaos that pretyt much takes reality, straps it to a table, and has its way with it in uncountable diffrent ways in both torture and pervertedness, all the while laughing like a lunatic.
in ther background....rises terry in some mass of shadows, death, chaos, and madness inflicting untold terrors across reality and the warp.
Armok, meet your grandaddy, grandaddy, meet creation and fuck it over so many times you rip it asunder and remake it into your own horrific image.
otherwise known as modern day world called earth with you dear reading sitting at the computer reading this line.
also known as a player of Dwarf fortress...
-
okay now thats over with...who wants to know what our lord and master has cooked up with the magma pumps!!!
plus this shit aint nightmare material...
try watch nyan-cat for 72 hours straight, without bathroom break or sleep...just sitting there watching it...with the headphones or such on at full sound...
or somthing equally annoying and damn fucked up.
havent done it yet, but dear god what my mind makes up....makes chaos in 40k and warhammer fantasy look tame.
so in essence, when i take the fort for a turn...
!!!RUN!!!

-_- Can we get back to what we came here for? I don't know about the rest of you but I'm here for violence and mayhem, blood, guts, genocide, and psychopathic rage. NOT vomitting crap monsters and tentacle porn. Be ware ye who takes a turn after me. I have surprises in mind for all the good little dwarves. Muhaha. Iter Vehem Ad Necrem. ( Dwarves are my surrogates for all of the things I hate but cannot kill in the real world, so be sure that each dwarf who incites my wrath will learn what the Fortress's name means. Speaking of, have I been added to the list yet?)
finally somone gets it!!! this is DF...not some random tentcle monster crap.
Does anyone else just tune out ChaosMaker when he goes on one of his rants and simply label it "average Dwarf Fortress background noise," or is it just me?
Plot twist: ChaosMaker IS Dwarf Fortress.
also about time somone realised what was going on!!!
and yeah...i tend to rant allot when im bored out of my mind or get excited about some random doomsday weapon that will never work. like filling carts with lead bars, then launching them at clowns when they come out of the circus, and then for the ones that remain, drown them in a flood of water taken either from the surface from a river/aqueduct, into a resivor about 3 levels deep (with almost the entire map mined out!!!) and then flood hell and turn it into a swampy area of chaos, death, and dwarven piss filled buckets!
also whats the update on the fort? otherwise we get bored and derail horribly...like we did yesterday...
and finally, whens deathgate 3 comming out? (as with the patch iself? just wanna know so i can prepare myself for my own glorious,
im going to have a happy time
alright thats a wrap, looking forward to your update on the fortresses situation soon anima, please include what the statistics of the fort is, and maybe a few maps on just how damn well we of murdermachines fucked up the surrounding area and turned it into a fester hell that the circus is jelous off and wants to take it for their own...makes sense on why the clowns leave and try to kill us all when we break through armoks protective layer...shanme for the clowns its not for us, its for them!!! (poor bastards).
wondering if we might manage to change more clowns to the dwarven side of reality soon. (anyone thinking we might get a demon ambassador as a dwarf ambassador soon?)

finally looking forward to the next turn, but please keep the fort alive, hopefully for longer then one week...im just a week shy from headin home for round 4 days so i could take my turn afterwards just for practice for deathgate 3.

Besides, we still don't know what his favorite show is. Mine is Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni (http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z477/x__ani__x/Higurashi.gif). The summer never ends...

24th Obsidian, Late Winter
Somehow, a goblin assault group has breached our walls before they were spotted. This is mystifying since, to the best of anyone's knowledge, the walls have no gaps or back entrances.
Of course, the goblins are utterly slaughtered where they stand.
Yet a second ambush occurs moments later on our southern wall. The vulnerability is suddenly made clear.
The weakness in the wall is patched just before the year ends.
8th Granite, Early Spring
The new BATTERY functions. It did, however, take some of my power to start it up.
18th Granite, Early Spring
My task is finished.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
My accomplishments are numerous. We have a highly trained, well equipped military. It is small, only ten dwarves, but each one is worth ten goblins. We have a magma pump stack that stretches 111z-levels and has moved our metalworking industry back to the core of Murdermachines. The surface fort has been secured, enlarged, and safeguarded against enemies. We have a road, somewhat completed, that leads into our fortress.
Our population has grown significantly, 39 dwarves call Murdermachines home now.
We no longer cling to life down in the caverns. We have retaken our home, thrown out our enemies, and restored this land as the dwarven paradise.

meh, still saying captain should go his turn, hes now curropted enough to be part of the deathgate series, and ill take over next week if possible (hope its either thursday or friday...those two days i should have enough time to get the year done, and some logs up and running...also plenty of wardogs and nasty little critters brewing in the depths of murdermachines in cramped, unholy, and chaotic conditions...this should help breed a mighty force of meathsheilds to which protect our dwarves when the millitary is busy bashing each others skulls in with rocks...
finally, Captain, welcome to the void...welcome to the body-wraiths...welcome home brother!!! with you dark whispers and ungodly mind turned to...diplomancy...*even if somtimes undwarfy, which turns into ultra dwarfy if you can get the elves to kill themselves* also...show me your power brother...and i shall show you mine.

I know what to do. First you need to take a bath for two hours on the hottest setting that doesn't make your skin start blistering and coming off in sheets. ( Unless you're really worried. ) While doing that you need to listen to a carefully selected series of noises through the highest quality noise cancelling headphones. At the same time you need to listen to certain 8-bit tunes. ( I'd suggest "Magicant" from MOTHER, but that's just me. Do what you're comfortable with. ) While doing that, stair crosseyed at the showerhead until you get a headache. Burn lavender incense and as best you can think of the earliest point in your life that you would consider yourself "uncorrupted." Boil it down into a formula and overlay it over the offending thoughts. Then REPRESS IT. If you claim you don't know how to repress memories, you are either lying or just do it so quickly on instinct that you have no need of this method anyway. Then once your happy childhood memories are good and repressed along with the offending content, think only in terms of the future as much as possible. There, you have successfully purged your mind for the moment. Warning: This has all kinds of ways of backfiring. The idea is that when you try to think on the horrors you witnessed you'll instead be redirected to a distracting childhood moment to hide in. This can and probably will work in reverse depending on how you do it. That said, most people don't reminisce on their childhood too much, so you'll all probably be ok. Just try to remember, you're not trying to merge the feelings, you're trying to cover them with better ones. If you merge them, you'll become that which you felt "ruined" something in the first place.

Yes. And, you're welcome.
(( By the by: Psychologists lie. Repression is the best, and occasionally only, way to deal with something in any way that can be considered "succesful". The alternatives are as follows: drugs, mass-murder, sexual deviancy, joining debate teams, becoming a politician, and/or occasional manic episodes involving running around in a circle. ( And once you go down the path of politics, all will happen. ) Talking things out DOESN'T work, because then you just remember the thing that scarred you in the first place. It's like taking a nicely formed scar from a car-wreck and cutting it open because you don't like the shape of the scar.))
EDIT: Debate teams are the gateway action. From there, it's politics. From there, everything else.

No, I'm in the "We Are Our Avatars: Bay12 Edition" RTD (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=136105). My avatar got megacorrupted by something called Cyrydiad (it's not Terry; it's more like... schizophrenia, or maybe multiple personality disorder... crossed with a brain hemorrhage.), so I made a version of my avatar to reflect that.

so damn dwarfy....guys I think Im loving this damn thing!!! let the insanity debate team continue on! im sure our madness will spread until if itsfects the rest of the forums...and then The One Called Toady...then? The World
still the idea of Terry being a gentlemen, honorable, and standing by its word...
Horrific lies of the worst sort that will drive a man to Dwarf Fortress to Embrace the Darkness that is the Carp!!!
on a side note: is it possible to tame Carp? If so...then dammit im going to find a way to tame a couple of the fish of evil, and give them a nice little moat around murder-machines to live in!!! Looking forward to your turn Captain!!! may it be Free of Terry's dark embrace. then again being a creature of the Horrific ocean of madness and despair I might start screwing with the fort just by random crap happening...

-Terry, the Chaos, speaks with a red glow, but is also Darkness, thus has black text.
-McClellan, the Order, speaks with a blue glow, but is also Darkness as well.
-ChaosMaker is pure chaos, so he's just red text.
-Am I just Darkness, then? Or something?

I, on the other hand, am a mere acolyte. An underling. Which means, of course, that I hear things. Terrible truths, betrayal, I've heard it all. And survived.

You are beyond comprehension, your casual defiance in the face of Terry the Terrible Terror beyond the scope of understanding.
I, on the other hand, am a mere acolyte. An underling. Which means, of course, that I hear things. Terrible truths, betrayal, I've heard it all. And survived.
bout time someone understood their standing!!!
So wait, let me try to recap this:
-Terry, the Chaos, speaks with a red glow, but is also Darkness, thus has black text.
-McClellan, the Order, speaks with a blue glow, but is also Darkness as well.
-ChaosMaker is pure chaos, so he's just red text.
-Am I just Darkness, then? Or something?
Nah your part of the void-wraiths, so your heritage tends to come through from time to time. Plus if I were you I would avoid carp for the next few days...just saying (then again as im basically chaos incarnate, you don't know if im being helpful of malicious!!! that's what makes it all worth while!!!)

Congrats on taking the fort mighty overseer! try to not mind the red stains of the fort and the decorations, mordor is our summer home when were away from murdermachines (considering it murdered us around 3-4 times now!) im looking forward to your, investment, in our future.
(needless to say congrats on taking the fort diplomat of deathgate! a champion who can stand against terry and win while the rest of us are either openly defying everything it is, (being dorfs), worshipping it (dwarfy style), or plain as hell-bent on making chaos and desctruction on wheever I go! (ME) anyway good luck on your year! try to not die horrible due to some kolbolds will you? we cant let them get a big head after all...)
oh and a side note:
Taloniswolf and Lolfail0009 cancel living: are both turned into warpspawn that explode on contact with a computer, then reverted into pokemon from the inside out...then finally after all said and done, you are reading this pointless piece of information while im sitting back laughing my ass off in the warp waiting for my chance to have a go at murdermachines!

that and it seems red/black is the color of our corrupted members of the fort/thread, while blue/any-light-color seems to be the order part of the fort...also anyone thinking on giving terry a shot at the fort?...

well you guys should've lurked enough, but to tell you the truth what happened was chaos!!! captain trying to bring order and then TheFLame going heretic, (still waiting on the vote folks otherwise im just dumping his dwarf into hell the first chance I get!) and considering the revenge, I doubt its possible, remember this is just a small part of terry were facing, because we ARE terry. well we made it anyway...deathgate has never been more proud!The sheer amount of bughouse insanity in this thread is disconcerting me, and that's saying something.

Also only the worst prepared food to be dumped into his cell from above and worst drinks we can think of? Also the next 5 incarnations of TheFlame Say Aye, flame as the condemned you don't get a vote.Ha! I don't have a dwarf! Codemn me all you want!
Also, it appears I have been successful in banishing Terry from the thread. He hasn't posted yet!
Can we return to plain text? Coloring it in red and such makes it hard to read.ChaosMaker, can you post in red instead of maroon, please? I find it hard to read too. I have to highlight your text to read it.

were getting soft guys...where's the blood, guts, and glory? where's the screams that were being drawn from the dying dead? Ill tell you where, our true enemy has passed over us like blood rain over the mountains, and smoke and ash blowing through the plains of mordor. Our times in murder-machines are seemingly coming to a end fellow dwarves...do we sit down and grumble as order comes to the fort and no !!!FUN!!! things happen for the rest of murdermachines days!?! I Say nay! I say we invade the circus!!!!
now that little speech is out of the way, it seems terry is watching to much anime...from the school version of it anyway, seriously though, you watching English dub or sub?
I... swear that wasn't me. I've been baking scones for Cthulu-senpai.So in the end, Cthulu beats even Terry.
cause it seems to me terry your losing your touch...BIG TIME!!! Eldritch up you godless being of madness and murder!!! where's the threat of you hanging over our heads like the sword of democoleas?!? Who the hell do you think you are for going soft on the damn fort!!! Are you going to let some different watery dimension space squid come onto your damn tuff!?! Eldritch up dammit!! cause mahem, havoc, death, and ruination of untold scale you spineless (metaphorically, not sure if you even have a spine) sod of a dark god of chaos!!! I didn't get born from the agonizing, warp-driven death from that dwarf carrying the Red Monster Sword, and I sure as hell didn't wait to break out of that damn thing when the fortress finally suffered your birthing wrath just for you to get soft dammit!!! now get you ugly ass behind moving and tear the shit out of any other so called dark god and rip them all a new one for daring to take on your damn turf!!!
NOW GET MOVING YOU SOD!!!
now that ive sufficiently either angered or motivated our chaotic god of madness and despair, we should be seeing more !!!FUN!!! soon.

@Terry: Yea, I know. Also, seriously? Cthulu? Out of all the... Cthulu? Well, I guess there is no accounting for taste. I always preferred Giygas for my horrorterror. Though, I suppose "senpai" no longer really applies to Giygas due to his loss of sentience. And I have never truly been anyone's kōhai. Instead, I have had to learn largely on my own. Of course, that could well be why I am still a form of dwarf and you have already become what you are. After all, look at our best-fit mentors. Giygas made himself a monster, largely. Though, I must say that I do not necessarily wish to go the route he chose. The power is phenomenal, enough to make you look like a mere sneeze and me even more insignificant. However, evidentially even psionic bulk is subject to the square-cube law... largely rendering it not worth the effort.

Dude, im a being of Eldritch chaos and despair, what do you expect me to do when I see my superior going soft for a moment? and yes Lolfail0009, I have to admit the cycle is...interesting...for now...
and consider this, The giant space squid is essentially from another dimension, probably one where heat or something like that doesn't exist, or everything is made of water there so its damn fricken confused as to why were carbon based beings, and thus goes mad itself from the sheer unthinkably of what creatures we are just as we go made against the thing itself....or it could be it just saw our forum and went mad from what we keep posting!
Post by: TheFlame52 on March 25, 2014, 03:02:46 pm

Heresy of the brightest filth!!! we elderitch beings should only have chaotic good and chaotic evil beings living within these walls!!! and anima! why, why did you make this dark and beautifully chaotic land part of order?! This is like the damn grey march all over again...looks like when I take my turn it'll be up to me to fuck all the work up (without killing the fort...maybe make a mark of chaos on one of the floors in a pointless attempt to bring back darkness, evil, and disorder into the fort? or maybe make as many gold and silver coins to incite the greed of dragons and trap them within steel cages for our own taming...)
well I know what im doing in on my session!!! looking forward to this Thursday/Friday if I can have the fort then...only got 2-3 days to play though...damn trade school...

Anima...I think I know who's your damn opposite now, I dub CaptainMcClellan the second born of terry...the one who shall bring order to chaos so that it make manifest again after its passing...the eternal wheel is now complete, own lands shall make oblivions chaos land seem tame in comparison to our own.

@ChaosMaker: Most likely Friday will be fine. I'm sorry that I haven't gotten much done yet. I just got home yesterday. And trying to play on the trip yielded the results you've seen. As per why I'm not playing now, blame it on Futurama and oversleeping. Plus my room is twenty degrees colder than the rest of the house.
I also resent to being called the second-born of Terry. In due time I will reveal who I am in respect to the MurderMachines.
ehhh, don't care, you could be Terrys other half or something and I wouldn't give a crap...unless its something god damn amazing like armok giving us a second chance or something...which I find a load of BS...as like khorne armok doesn't give a shit about where the blood and amusement comes from, only that it goes on. And looking forward to this Friday, will try to get it done as soon as possible, due to short time constraint.
(as a side note: do I just DL the save into my own save folder for DF? and then when it comes time to put it back onto the Forum just move it onto my post or what? remember this is my first community fortress ill be playing, so expect either !!FUN!! or even worse Mega-!!!FUN!!! to happen.)
Also can anyone post what the fortress needs besides my own little pet project I got in my head? was the obsidian dinning room/great hall ever finished? because if so then I got an idea for all that obsidian!!!

hopefully i can get it up to satisfactory levels...maybe get a few projects done, but mostly just screw around and sacrifice prisoners to the void/warp!
dont mind the massive amount of cage traps around murdermachines...and the prisoner cavern ill be making...those are for sacrifices.

though i have to ask, will anyone mind if i manage to surround the fort with cage traps at the edges of the map 2-3 deep with boulder traps beheind them? ill leave a opening at least 5 wide for caravans to get through.
anyway lets see murdermachines become trap central...i wonder, do voidspawn have trap-avoid? goblins? i know kolbolds do...little bastards...
anyway good luck with the fort, and if you get the save up along with a story im sure everyone will clammor to read! (at leats us on deathgate!)
see you soon...my precious little fortress of chaos...soon...

EDIT EDIT: Upon the second ambush and the thief showing up, I rage-quitted. Fortunately, I save super often so I didn't lose much progress. I'm'a go ahead and have people stationed already for when they do it again.
Post by: ChaosMaker on March 30, 2014, 12:20:41 am
this is also murdermachines, where chaos reigns supreme....we need traps extensivly...but ill only make a single line of the cage traps and beheind them for any that get by them rock traps. agreeable? or should i make "islands" of the traps in 3x3 formations of random rocks and cage traps? hmmm that appeals to my own desires...

Besides. Do you truly think that the REAL Terry would post on these forums and agree to leave us alone or anything? No! Terry would not give us any hints as to His intentions, but would rather see us flail in helplessness as He corrupts our savefiles. Which you haven't yet done. You're clearly an impostor, riding on the coattails of the TRUE Terry.
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on March 30, 2014, 10:25:23 am
And here's what survived of the journal:
8th Limestone: Another baby girl!
18th Limestone: And off go the merchants! See you next year!
22nd Limestone: Fungin has given birth to a boy.
5th Sandstone: The Mad Fool has grown attached to a steel shield.
9th Sandstone: My mandate for the construction of 30 wooden pipes is complete.
20th Sandstone: Urdim Dorenison, Cat, has adopted Thorkild Jarnox.
23rd Sandstone: Some migrants have arrived.
2nd Timber: Urist Nimakmonom has given birth to a baby boy.
5th Timber: Wlerin just beat the crap out of Thaddeus. And evidently, Ducim can't help him because she's handling a dangerous creature.
18th-19th Timber: Two casualties. The caravan from the Mountainhomes is here with our Outpost liason.
20th: Another dwarf found dead. Population down to 68. Could've been worse.
25th Timber: Merchants have arrived and are unloading their goods.
1st Moonstone: Winter is upon us!
3rd Moonstone: Trading day! There's a menacing steel spike worth 3960 gold. I kinda want to buy it just because it's so expensive. I won't though. For some reason, the mountainhomes didn't think to send much of value. So, I bought up the plump helmets and a few other things. I consider it a good day of trading, even if they got a bit more than I had hoped.
4th Moonstone: Onol Azinrigoth has grown attached to a steel shield.
5th: The liasion has pulled us into a meeting.
8th Moonstone: Onol Reglaz, Ghostly Voidspawn Thrall Butcher has transformed into a dwarf! I didn't... know that could even happen...
9th: And now Onol is back as a ghost.
10th: And brought a ghost-child with 'im. Zuntir Dumatlimar.
12th Moonstone: Another dwarven ghost-child has risen and begun haunting the fortress. I guess Haunted Manor is the current theme for MurderMa
16th Moonstone: My mandate for Mechanisms is complete.
Later: A dwarven baby rose from the dead as a ghost.
17th Moonstone: What? Thaddeus the Fail Saint died of thirst just now. Was he injured? Stuck? His body is in the middle of the Trade Depot, so I don't know what happened.
1st Opal: Wow... It's fascinating to see what all of the Void-wraiths used to be before they became indwarven killing machines. A fish cleaner, a cheesemaker... Anima was a Jeweler. Then they got possessed by the actual Void-wraiths. Some dwarves would say that it was the greatest of fortune, but being possessed by an ancient horror from another realm?
5th Opal: Oh no... The Mad Fool has grown attached to an iron spear.
Aww... Thaddeus's widow is unhappy. Haunted by the dead, forced to watch her former husband rot in the Trade Depot... I'd better go check to make sure they buried him. Good.
8th Opal: Fikod Sarveshcilob, Obliterator has grown attached to a wolverine leather cloak.
9th Opal: The hives are done.
12th Opal: Onol Reglaz, Ghostly Butcher, was put to rest.
13th Opal: A snow storm has come!
20th Opal: Rigoth Ushatzulban has grown attached to a pair of steel greaves.
1st Obsidian: Olon Lolokthak has grown attached to a steel shield
7th Obsidian: I swear, I would give a someone a golden statue of themself if they could just find Wlerin's body and shove it in a friggin' box! This is like the fourth time he's injured valuable workers. And I don't want Catten dying the way Thaddeus did. Actually, since Thaddeus's spirit is probably still around, I might just give him Catten's body. Nope. The wounds are too greivious. Plus there's a gender mismatch. Honestly, I think Thaddeus has probably been reincarnated so many times he doesn't care anymore. Still, I know it would bother me pretty greatly if I didn't come back as a guy. Heh, my only guess as to why Wlerin is being so violent is that some of Terry's left over angst is pouring into him since Terry is keeping his promise not to interfere. Well angst away ghost, it won't get your skeleton put in a box any faster. Also, thankfully someone actually stopped to help Catten. Well... damn! There's no better way to put it! Catten's infant son is dragging her to infirmary! Now that's family dedication! And people say it's stupid to bother taking care of the children.
8th Obsidian: We've struck native gold.
9th Obsidian: These crow people are getting really obnoxious. They're not really that dangerous, but they're really tricky to find. They keep interrupting tasks. Also, the fact that they're coming up stairs worries me as it means we have a (potential) breach in the cavern defenses. I really should have bothered to booby-trap those things better. I've got all the pieces, I just don't have any available labor really... Got all ten Mechanics working on my super-project Steve. I'm not even bothering with the WOOSH right now. Ah well, Steve's left leg's near done, but I was really hoping to have his heart done before the year Terry's given me ends. Ah well, I don't guess there's a rule that says I have to step down in Spring right? Besides... Anima, who came before me, kept in power for twenty extra days before I was appointed leader.
Poor Puff, those Crow-people keep waking him up from sleeping. I figured out how they're getting past our defenses though. Like with most of the other creatures that have been a nuisance to us, Crow-people can fly. Unfortunately, Murdermachines doesn't really have a way to take out flying creatures effectively right now.
10th Obsidian: Ah good, he finally made it to a room with a door. Puff's sleeping soundly in a bed now.
15th Obsidian: Sazir Akgosletmos was possessed! Maybe it's by the same armorer that's responsible for Nutglide. Cool, it'd be nice to have a left gauntlet to go with it.
17th Obsidian: Ezum Timnarkulet, CARPlord has given birth to a baby girl. I was going to say beautiful, but then I got a look at her... I mean, she's got a great complexion and all, but that facial structure's kinda weird and her hair is like wierd looking. I'm sure she'll grow out of it. Besides, she'll probably be a military dwarf, just like her mother. ( Assuming she I can keep her alive that long. Even under such a benevolent ruler as me, this is still a fortress. I'm just glad I stopped the Death Room. And, like Tekkud, I'll give Ezum maternity leave. Oh. Apparently she's the Captain of the Void-Wraiths and she won't step down. And her soldiers won't let her either. Well... I'm not about to argue with Anima. So... I don't know... Maybe if I can convince her to let Anima take over while she's taking care of her baby.
Oh wow. She's not just Captain of the Void-Wraiths, she's the commander of the entire militia. Wait... So how does that work? She outranks me in the military... but I outrank her in civilian and administrative affairs... but the Mayor technically has the authority... Wait. Is the Fortress Guard even a part of the military? Isn't it like... it's own separate entity? So, as Captain of the Guard, don't I rank even with her? Argh! This is complicated! To think we might have a Baron soon! Haha, on that note, I found it funny that despite being probably more advanced than the Mountainhomes of this Dwarven civilization, with a resident eldritch abomination acting as its genius locii, and being home to several chronically reincarnating dwarven wraiths, and creatures of pure evil made of corrupted souls, magma, and mildewed cheese, we're still only considered the "Village" of Murdermachines. Even despite our full title being "Murdermachines the Blood Citadel." Can anyone else appreciate the irony of us being the "Village of Murdermachines the Blood-Citadel"? It's almost pathetic... but back to the issue at hand. I'm going to try discussing it with Anima. Being as he's essentially the oldest dwarf, if you count all of his iterations, and more than competent and powerful enough to run a military, he could easily step in as Military Commander. If I can convince him to depose Ezum. I'll make sure to insist that it's temporary.
What do you know? It worked! I don't know exactly what he said, but effective immediately Anima is the leader of the entire military. I'm a bit scared to have given the one they call "the Void God" so much power. I wonder how he liked that bed I gave him? Anyways, it seems Anima always was second in command below Ezum and that he only let her keep her position out of respect. I wonder how difficult it will be to get him to relinquish the title and transfer power back to Ezum when her girl is weaned. Ezum rejoins the commoners as a Presser.
Hehheh. Immediately after Ezum stepped down, there was a goblin ambush. This should be a good chance for Anima to prove himself to me personally. Off he goes now. At least it's not Voidspawn. Also, I've really got to find that stupid crow. Wow... and Puff's just really having a bad time. The goblins are chasing him now.
What? Really? Ok, so Puff outruns a goblin ambush, right? Well get this, he runs straight into another goblin ambush! >.< Well, I guess Puff is our new hostile creature magnet. That'll be good for later in case any of the old Deathgate folk try to repeat history. In the meantime, what can we do to keep poor Puff alive? Yeah... it turns out the answer is "nothing". He put up a valiant fight, but he was up against eight axegoblins, seven marksgoblins, and a pikegoblin. So, it was pretty much inevitable what was going to happen next. One of the goblins ascended to legendary status as a result of killing Puff though. I don't really know if that can be called an achievement.
18th Obsidian: I've ordered everyone inside and am still waiting for the Void-wraiths to mobilize. I know I said it earlier, but I'll say it again, we really need to move their barracks to the surface. It shouldn't even be that difficult to do, I'll get the Masons on it while they're stuck inside.
21st Obsidian: And that ends that. About twelve goblins killed, the rest fled. All soldiers on the surface in case they return. Puff was the only casualty. Poor Puff.
1st Granite: Ah... the start of a new year. How wonderful Spring is. I hope this year will be just as productive and fruitful as the last. Terry's promise of protection runs out today. I'm not worried though, and why should I be? I'll get Steve done this year, I'm sure.
11th Granite: There's been some tell of rumblings down below... I'm concerned as to what these might be, but I honestly have no clue.
12th Granite: I feel an omnious feeling coming from below... I can't quite describe it.
13th Granite: Nothing seems to have changed about the caverns at all, yet something isn't quite right, I'm sure. I really wish that everyone would hurry.
14th Granite: Maybe Terry feels I've overstayed my welcome? I don't see why... wouldn't he be happy? There was enough bloodshed this year... right? And I kept all the babies safe. Everything is going so well... Yet I'm stricken with the dread of something to come. Call it whatever you like...
Later: Some news to put me at ease, we now have another addition to the fortress. Zuglar Omdakost has birthed a baby boy. He is called Asmel Avuzsokan.
15th Granite: Zefon Oiledclashes was down in the deeper caverns today, storing something in a stockpile. I don't think he came back though. His body is still intact, but he's started calling himself "Chaos Maker" and he has a strange look in his eyes. He was one of the ones in the summer migrant wave, I wonder if he might have brought some sort of spirit with him. Still though, it doesn't make any sense that it would lie dormant for months... right? His 82nd birthday wasn't too long ago, maybe it's one of those age related spells. More likely, some sort of otherworld creature, like myself, grabbed him. Still, I don't know if I can trust said creature, so I'll just keep him under close surveilance. "Chaos Maker" seems like a name that won't be too friendly though.
In less threatening news, Thaddeus also claimed a new body today. That of a diagnoser.
16th Granite: Chaos Maker has been talking with Anima and the possessed dwarf a lot here recently. It's really suspicious, especially with how sly he's being about it.
18th: Chaos Maker made some cryptic remarks about something in the depths... I don't really know that I want to find out what he's referring too. Unfortunately the Void-wraiths all seem to really like him. He's especially played off the "insult" I gave to Ezum by having Anima replace her. He's even doing it openly now. For someone who just showed up, he sure is bold. Unfortunately for me, relieving the CARPlord was a very unpopular move. Surprisingly, Ezum spoke up for me saying that civilian life is treating her okay, except for all the useless hauling jobs. She went on to say she has really appreciated the time she has gotten to safely spend with her daughter. She did say that she looked forward to returning to her post as soon as possible. I'm glad to have her on my side. Still, I think Anima is wavering and I fear Catten is beginning to question my competence and my priorities. She feels I put too much effort into my Steve project and not enough on actively setting up defenses. I countered saying that I installed a ballista, a catapult, annexed a new area into the surface-fort and have nearly completed the wall for said annex. She made no comment as she walked away.
That's not the end of my troubles either, Thaddeus's new body happens to be that of Catten's husband. He's not too pleased with me letting him die of dehydration. So that's two of the Deathgate wraiths, half of the Void-wraiths, and the mayor against me. Chaos Maker sees this. He knows this. And he's playing with it. I know exactly what he's trying to do, but I'm not going to let him successfully pull the rug out from under me. So what if I made some bad choices? Everyone does. I'd like to see this guy do better.
19th Granite: For the past two days, I've been trying to garner support. I've got a considerable portion, but Chaos Maker's political faction, or more accurately the ones who don't want me in office anymore.
20th Granite: It happened today. Chaos Maker came into my office flanked by Anima and The Mad Fool. That's two squadrons against my fortress guard... and my fortress guard consists only of me right now. Chaos Maker explained exactly how things were going to go, my job or my life. Simple as that. He had too much support, the mayor, the military, and the medical... Thaddeus used his new position as the mayor's husband to get himself appointed as Chief Medical Dwarf. ( He did deserve it, he inhabits the best medical professional we have, with full access to all of those skills. ) Not only that, Chaos Maker somehow became the Hammerer of Murdermachines. I shudder to think... I couldn't really do anything without risking an outright fight of the spectres. Keep in mind that Anima, The Mad Fool, Thaddeus, Chaos Maker, and I are all more than the bodies we're borrowing. Even in a four-on-one fight, a fight between spectres can ravage any place and cause much injury to everyone around. Not to mention all the rouge ghosts and Terry. So, I stepped down from Overseer today. I was able to keep my job as Captain of the Guard, so the Peacemakers are still mine to control, when we get some troops to fill the positions.

This entire folder is supposed to be placed in your save folder, found in Dwarf Fortress/data/save.

WOOSH= Wind Operated Operating System ( Something with an H ) I tried to make a good backronym but I fail. It's basically a wind tower. ( Not as effective as I thought it would be because Windmills don't stack like I thought they did, but that's not stopping me from trying to build one anyway. )
Skyfort: ( Actually more like Skyfarm ) A place for the safe growing of trees and overland crops. That offers the option to violently attack things invading the surface and provides much wind-power in conjunction with the WOOSH. Plus it'd provide a safety bubble for the dwarves to flee to while we flood the fort and/or wait for it to dry out.
As for Steve, when you see him you'll understand.

How dared that goblin to touch this perfect axe?! Also, we need more adamantine. A single axe is not enough!
Will do a proper update tomorrow. Stay tuned.
Post by: ChaosMaker on March 31, 2014, 04:44:42 pm
plus this will make the story and updates allot better then me going nuts with updates on the situation.
also dwarf pus...and were eating it...
okay somone needs to get farming really up there now!
Also for defenses i suggest making a trench around murdermachines, (take down any trees in the area) and then regulate the ramps (make them around 3-5 ramps onto the citidels hill)... this would allow us to patrol those areas and kill any invaders into our beloved fort...also allowing us to expand on the surface and turn it into a REAL citidel of death and despair. not to mention grab all the crap on the hill-top-side to! also the wood as well.
And because i played a bit i suggest we start making centralized stockpiles or somthing, the few ive seen were to small to deal with the demands of a proper fort.
maybe when i take my turn in 2 weeks ill make a prison and my gimmik for the year....hmmm....
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on March 31, 2014, 04:50:52 pm
As per stockpiles, I think that MurderMachines uses a Quantum Stockpile. Although, I probably filled it with a lot of dead things also.
Also, I already made a prison. I suppose you mean a torture dungeon, right?
Post by: ChaosMaker on March 31, 2014, 05:27:47 pm
anyway with all the chaos in the fort im thinking we might eventually move to a diffrent pasture due to fps death of the fort. (unless anima authorizes Auto-dump hack to get rid of all the treasure on the surface.) also might take us out of our comfort zone and put us in a moutain where death is a damn certainty. though i suggest we at least have a river or somthing to have fish as our main staple...
A gollumized dwarf anyone? (we aint got halfing trinkets, but im sure we can manage somehow!)
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on March 31, 2014, 05:45:57 pm
Hehheh. FPS death. It only happens every once in a while. I dunno, have you tried any speed configures? Also, fishing as industry? * shakes head * No way man.

We're about to dig a passage to another adamantine vein. There will be a dance pool and bar, after we smooth it and engrave. Female naked goblins in glass cages are The Must!
And while I'm here, can you provide a brief course of local defences? Apart from just "CHAAAAAAAARGEEEEEE!!!!!!". There are mysterious pumps and channels and I have no idea how they should work. I think I just leave then untouched. And there is a strange tower with ballista on top of it, that shoots in the open air. Flying enemied hunting device, maybe?
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on April 01, 2014, 08:26:52 am
Woo! Also, you can try to make an adamantine sword please? I tried on my turn, but they kept using it for lame artifacts like "Nutglide".
Yea... Charging is the most effective. When the babies grow, you can put Ezum and Tekkud back in the Void-wraiths. They're both super-legendary so...
The pumps and channels: Please don't touch the pipework near the surface. It's an unfinished project that could potentially flood several layers of the fort and put out the magma forges.
The ballistae and catapults: Supposed to be yes. Don't know if they work yet, never tested them. Flying things were a huge nuisance in my turn. Feel free to use these to wipe them out. ( In theory. )
The other stuff on the surface: The bridge and new cell are unfinished, but should be by summer. There's not a lot of other fortifications to this new part, so feel free to use traps and such. Also, I built a new surface barracks. In my whole turn, all five of the worthwhile attacks came from the surface, so please move the troops to the surface. ALSO. DON'T REACTIVATE THE DEATH-ROOM. I don't like babie-on-a-stick. An' uh... hmm. Don't mine out the last block holding in Baru, the cage traps don't work. The caverns are pretty well defended, and shouldn't give you any trouble.

I would have finished off Baru but he has poision blood and it was strong enough to kill past-Anima. It's also immune to traps.

Working on capturing Baru and bleed him for use. Currently setting up bridges at cage trap corridor.
Those who don't have moodable skill how have weaponsmithing enabled and a task to make infinite number of silver bolts ordered. You never can have too much bolts.
Ringo, our captain of guard has sword and crossbow in one hand, and a hammer in another, and a silver whip is enlisted in his uniform. I have no idea how he's going to use it, so I just set guards using swords and whips only.
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on April 02, 2014, 08:00:16 am
Good luck!
Mmm... I purchased metals and we should have a bunch of scrap silver everywhere to be melted down. Not to mention all the bolts of many metals throughout the fort.
Haha! Be prepared! Fire a bolt, smash it with a hammer, slice it's head off, and use the whip for punishment!
Post by: peregarrett on April 02, 2014, 03:56:25 pm
Baru Blood Donation system has been designed and now we're waiting for miners to dig it. I think I need MORE miners. MUCH MORE.
Magma basin platform is being constructed. Soon there will be the first bloodspatter that baptizes it.
A few peasants got some skill in weaonsmithing, so they were removed from that job.
Mostly nothing happens. Giant rat have stolen cave fish. Masons are making coffins. Someone have seen a ghost of Puff, and a glazer started a tantrum posessed by another ghost. Booooooring

Post by: ChaosMaker on April 02, 2014, 10:50:55 pm
can i have the next whip (silver or steel, quality dont matter) and a hammer please? would work best for my skills.
and idea for why im not in charge this season...putting in the resident furry/mmoneymaker/goblin-brothel "Buisnes-dwarf" was a better idea, i had to many things to do in the warp for a time...untill the next 2? overseers jobs are done then ill have a crack at the fort. plus i shouldve put DF higher priority for my comp now i think about it.
also just had a wonderfully evil idea...make walls near the ramps around murdermachines, leave 1 entrence wide enough for caravans (with wagons) to get through, then make a corridor (one for the caravan, untrapped leading to a dead end where trade goods will be stored untill furthur use) and the trapped corridor, where our dwarves weapon,cage, and stone-fall traps will be put in, all either silver or steel weapons/cages, and heaviest rocks used!
finally floor over all that so no fliers can get in. and presto! murdermachines will be turned into a citidel...of course the area with the magma nearby wouldve been used to make an obsidean grea hall, fill it with magma, then have it cool off to make obsidean rock (it could replace the beacon as a place where our dwarveas are summoned, all convinently replicated as a great hall...put in artifact quality or masterwork tables, thrones, statues, ect. untill its worth at least 1/10 of the fort itself! to do so set a few of the industries to only use either the best workers *legendary or at least 2 lesser levels down* to make the items if no artifacts are to be made.)
anyway good luck peregarrett...and please dont make a furry/goblin brothel while im away...honestly, if your going to do somthing like that at least use real gold coins!!!! (better yet have some of our blacksmiths or at least one of them to make countless platinum, gold, and silver coins! silver would be the basic currency of the fort, gold would be for nobles, and platinum would be for animas own dark pleasure of having his own hoard in his tomb!)

Yup. It almost takes away my initiative to learn coding. Only my paranoid nature makes it worth it.
Also, I like most of your ideas Chaos Maker, but we actually need sky exposed areas. For farms at first and later for easy flooding of compartments from the sky fort. My suggestion would be a tower of ballistae to obliterate the flying idiots. That way, we can scavenge and reuse the bolts and such. Or at very least, train a squad in archery and have them station at varied points on the battlements to shoot things down. ( So we can scavenge the bolts and exploit the disproportionate amount of metal we can melt out of using individual bolts instead of stacks. )

WHAT. THE. FUCK.
A few, half-naked dwarves roam a massive, incomprehensible fort. The surface is covered with bodies and random items. The caverns are a mess. There are corpses sitting at tables everywhere. A fisherdwarf is paralyzed at a table after putting on clothing covered in forgotten beast extract. Some keets just hatched. People are going missing and being found dead. Hallways that lead nowhere, multiple staircases to get to the same place. Random veins being excavated. Miasma fills the halls. Levers in random places. Engravings of voidspawn killing dwarves. Engravings of dwarves engraving. Random corpse stockpiles. Slabs for voidspawn. Everything is covered in Fungin's blood. I cannot wrap my mind around this fort. Screenshots just do not do the place justice. Just... what the fuck.
EDIT: I found out why everyone keeps dying. Someone unforbid the guineahen egg roasts. They are covered in deadly paralytic poison. That's the gecko sauce evryone was talking about a while back. Just forbid them and you should be fine.
EDIT2: Dwarf me as Flame, then make me a furnace operator. Someone needs to smelt all that ore.

Wait a minute... Where were the roasts stored? If they were on the surface level, I might have unforbidden them by accident.

Post by: ChaosMaker on April 04, 2014, 12:04:00 am
the chaos, the death, the madness, and murdering, and not to forget the geko sauce...im almost ashamed I couldn't do my turn properly, only 2 more weeks...and ill have a FULL DAMN TURN of our beloved fort. Plus its just business as usual for us at deathgate trilogy. when I read the voidspawn engravings were killing dwarves...I almost shrugged and thought the fort was finally starting to kill us now.
not that it hasn't yet, me thinks the fort itself put the sauce in the food supply, I suggest we use auto-dump EVERYTHING into lava and then start anew, all waste material on the surface, all the tainted food, auto-clean all the surfaces, and then finally get the fort running. The best explanation would be that we finally had enough of the shit going on and used the void as a dumping ground for all the shit we have at the fort. this way not only do we get rid of the crap on the surface (allowing more faster dwarves saving them from FPS slowness) but also the ablity nto actually use the surface as its meant to be...nothing more then a strip-landed area where trees and plants are at our mercy...weep mother nature...because us dwarves will come for you!!! anyway reason why I say gather surface food is because it will allow us the chance to live while we gather the trees on the surface, allowing more building material for a palisade (used for outer defense, give 5 part opening around 3 points of the fort, west-north-east to allow caravans and migrants into the fort, also put a walkway around the palisades top, which we could patrol with dwarves and station animals we have that are currently not being used for anything but being burdens and stationing them as meatsheilds for the spawn and goblin raids. allowing us to mobilize our dwarves into killing machines.
on a side note: have I beaten anyone to death yet? I need the souls to properly materialize into the fort by the time I arrive...and if we manage to get vampires: I suggest we use put them into cages and show them the light of day forevermore...that or a good beating with a hammer!!! Yes...flay their flesh off and beat them into a pulp!!!
on a final non-psychotic note: are we going to separate the dwarven population? if so then farmers and craftsmen near the surface where they can trade and make food, the army or at least half of it consisting of the weaker dwarves will protect them while the elites will prepare to invade the circus, the fortress guard can have patrols on the outer walls and in the inner fort. nobles such as us can live around magma layer, of course not having any paths from the lower fort into our domain when we invade the circus but the demons will have to transverse the top layer of there can move everyone a level down, the top dwarves can finally go to the caverns (because im seeing us blocking off at least 50% of the area, allowing us to farm the caverns for trees and cave-food...as well as animals that can breed down there!) and everything will be nice, chaotically-organized, with lots of corpses and slabs to mark our names...
anyone thinking the void spawn have already taken the circus and are currently occupying it right now? because if so then ill laugh my beard off if we have to fight those abominations to get a claim on the circus!

First, you start with an inverted hypercube, large enough to enclose the universe (and, as hypercubes are 4d, enclosing the small stretch of time wherein dwarven life has evolved). Then you make the outlines (inlines?) intersect, before adding a smiley face to one of the (in)sides, along with a pair of short-shorts.That'd make a great sig.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
You're overcomplicating things. Terry is a being of symbolism, chaos, and impressionism. To have so ordered a form as you suggest would counteract both his ability to wreak havoc ( as he would have to worry about destroying himself ) and blow minds ( as he is rather easily measured with such a form. ) Besides anyway, it was a joke. I drew that thing over half a year ago because I was bored.

He wasn't even describing a tesseract, he was describing a mere hypercube. I've played a Rubik's cube in four dimensions and one in five dimensions, I know what I'm talking about. Though why it would resemble a two-dimensional smiley face from all directions is beyond me...
There's a difference? I always thought hypercube was a layman's term for a tesseract, a four dimensional cube.

No, no, no... A tesseract is a five dimensional cube. Or more often a five-dimensional hyperbola, but it can refer to both.

Oh good. I'm pretty sure I'll use it for sleeping though as my current schedule has like 1-1/2 hours where I do anything productive and the rest of the day I do pretty much nothing so I still have the time and energy and an urge to do things to alleviate the boredom.

On that note, figure we should get more'a that sauce the boys kept dying to have. Or, was it dying from have? Details ain't so clear, is all. I tried me a tasta that splendor, and found myself not right impressed. A bit a bloody vomit here and there, can't see out of my left eye much, but there's the right kinda spice in it. I'll put the mess in the next pot of gruel, see if I's can get me some goblin flavorin from the headman.

This is pretty awesome, I'm not even mad that I'm a female Dwarf. I have a full fucking title (and let's face it: The Mountainous Speaker of Prestige is a fucking badass name), I've killed an Elf, a Troll and assorted others... And I worship Id. Let me emphasize that: I worship the source of bodily needs, wants, desires and impulses, particularly sexual and aggressive desires.
I'm fucking Jack from Mass Effect. If she were a tanned, non-Biotic Dwarf.
That also means that you worship indecision and lawlessness. HOW UNDWARVEN.
Also, I love how much my Vessel embodies me: "He is basically unbreakable and barely sick", "He has a great memory, but he has a little difficulty with words, a meager ability with social relationships, meager creativity, and a very bad sense of empathy." "He strives for excellence. When he is speaking, he usually lowers his eyes. When he gets bored, he starts talking to inanimate objects." On top of that he has the best facial hair and is above all that pagan nonsense. And being a dwarf, he has natural homicidal tendencies. It's almost me exactly. I just picked him because he had my favourite job, I didn't realize he was literally dwarven me. Even down to most of the preferences. ( I like floodgates for their ability to flood things. ;D )

Haha! I should sig that. Also, I was joking. :D In most media dwarves are portrayed as lawful, extremely loyal, and incredibly impatient with indecision of any kind and grey areas in general. In dwarf fortress... Ppffft. I don't even know what happened. It's really fun to watch though.
Post by: Grombardrim on April 06, 2014, 06:41:59 pm
I've always been a Dwarf guy even before I found DF, so I know all about the Lawful stereotype they've got. And I play around with it by invariably making a Chaotic Good Dwarf Rogue in every game of D&D I play. Unless I make a Lawful Evil Drow Rogue. Poisoned hand-crossbows are fun.
But yeah. Dwarf Fortress Dorfs are TECHNICALLY Lawful, because all the Dorfs are obliged to follow their programming. Said programming, however, is firmly on the side of Chaotic FUBAR

WWWEEEEEOEOOO. CHAOS. Haha, nah. I tend to too often lean to the paladin sort of character, because I always have tendencies to want to play characters that are how I perceive myself or wish I was. So I'll either be some kind of chaotic neutral /chaotic good or else a paladin-esque character. Of course, there's all kinds of dangers with the latter kind of character: Being seen as the Knight in Sour Robe, being a Knight Templar, stopping every five minutes to help any wounded sentient, and other things most players get super annoyed at. Of course, then I can always go and pull a Kore so that everyone cowers in terror and has shocked looks and such. But that's usually only if I feel the DM isn't handling the others and decide to take the "Rocks fall, everybody dies" into my own hand. It's usually the end of the game and the point where I start getting rule-lawyered or just plain kicked out. ( Says the guy who's played exactly 3 D&D games, all with no rulebooks, no dice, and only a single piece of paper. XD )

also peregarret....please don't turn murder-machines into a damn brothel again!! we all know you tried each of the last few times we reclaimed the fort and no one wants your unnatural (even for us!) desires for the female flesh-lings...why bother with such pitiful pleasure when devouring their life essence and the screams their souls make when your steadily drive them mad with untold tortures before eating them like a savored food-stuff?
And if you do happen to break the laws of Anima....
well, im sure your flesh-bag could use a good beating or two....or maybe 30 strikes from a hammer made of slade? will have to talk anima into sharing for a moment, that's going to be even more of a chore then getting the fort against captain, my most hated and respected foe! Not to mention how much damn power I spent set me back by another overseer's time!
good luck with the fort, and ill say im moderately pleased with the progress, though my fleshbag seems to be...interesting, perhaps ill experiment and allow its base personality to stay while I control its stings? such amusement to be had.

Common misconception. Love is, in fact, not a mortal invention at all. Moreover, it is necessary in at least small doses for any living being to have some amount of love. Elsewhich it will inevitably get sick and die, or become such a danger that a way will be found to kill it. So watch your levity on what you think is trivial, elsewhich you may be eradicated for the greater good. And I don't use that so lightly as most. At very least restrain your tongue or consequences will follow for mocking what one does not understand is a folly. One that by necessity must be corrected, by force if all other means fail. And if you think that your meager quasi-pan-dimensional existence is immune to eradication you may have quite the unpleasant surprise in days to come. Let's not make this come to war friend, you are very amusing and a valuable ally and your annihilation would sadden me for a small while.

Very well. Imagine, if you will, a fate wherein MurderMachines never dies. Is that fate not possible? Only by sabotage will MurderMachines fall, methinks. So if you sabotage the fort, is it truly will of fate or will of Terry? And if it is will of Terry and Terry ceases to exist, could Terry's will continue to sabotage? Truly entropy is the only thing that might cause the end of MurderMachines and by wit of those prepared and careful order, entropy can be subverted. All of you should be motivated to do so, as with entropy ChaosMaker can no longer make chaos. And if entropy occurs, interest will wane. If interest wanes, only that can truly end this place.

Hehheh. I'm attempting to make MurderMachines a dwarven paradise and place of rest. The Chaos Beast doesn't like it. As long as the fortress remains, then I am winning. For as long as a single dwarf remains, there is hope. Eventually, the Void-spawn will die. Booze will flow in rivulets for everydwarf. And if the Void-wraiths get too bored, they can always choose to flee to another plane to fight some new foe. Or to be the foe of another fortress.

So if you sabotage the fort, is it truly will of fate or will of Terry? And if it is will of Terry and Terry ceases to exist, could Terry's will continue to sabotage? Truly entropy is the only thing that might cause the end of MurderMachines and by wit of those prepared and careful order, entropy can be subverted. All of you should be motivated to do so, as with entropy ChaosMaker can no longer make chaos. And if entropy occurs, interest will wane. If interest wanes, only that can truly end this place.Murdermachines can also fall from incompetence. I almost killed it with unforbidden egg roasts when I was checking out the save.
( Everyone: Anticipate Terryvention in the fortress. )
Oh yeah... I forgot to put safe guards in place for incompetence. Well, there's that.

Second, Saber now leads The Bronze Dearth swordsdwarves squad. There are just two dwarves in it, Saber, and Terry... Terry started with dropping all her belongings down except a barrel of beer.

One spot at Void-Wrath was left reserved for NCommander till she grows her baby up. And Derm was put on the spare spot.

and of course terry would be a nudist, why would a elderitchy being of madness and despair wear clothes?
in fact why do i wear clothes not made from the flesh and hide of mortals?
leather clothes for everyone when i arrive...
and finally...
DARKWING THE NETHERFOWL HAS RETURNED SEVERLFOLD!!!!
i propose i war-train the beasties...then we can dump them into the circus!!! or preferable into a arena with plenty of pits and let the voidspawn and goblins try to kill the ducks...and then fail and fall to their dooms.
also child stuck in a wall...
wasnt me...maybe...
:D
Note:....captain, when we invade the circus, things will go to the carnival in a handbasket! because in deathgate when we conquered the circus weird crap sarted happening even worse then normal. so essentially this forts been doomed the moment it started....and were laughing like dark thirsting gods of evil!!!

It is a sign! Darkwing's acolytes have come through the void, planted their seeds within the mortal flock that dwelled within the mountain halls. Fear and weep, spawn of the under forge, the netherfowl returns.

Can I claim that axe? Grombardrim needs a weapon fitting of his (hopefully soon-to-be) legend...Grombardim is a speardwarf. But carries an adamantine sword for some reason.
If it isn't given to Anima, that is. He is on the axe.You think? He's currently holding that slade hammer, and I think it's great for him. Maybe I should give him both this axe and hammer? Will think of it.
That's one awesome axe, even with the silly name. It's worth one and a half million!The name is great! It's so sharp that when you swing it cuts the air in halves and produces Quiet Echo, and after you chop enemy in pieces, the ground becomes so fertile that Vegetations grow as fast as retracted Spikes. Hence the name.
And, 19th Attempted Abduction sounds very promising.
And here comes someone to test that axe on. Or any other weapon.

Check the uniform. If that squad's using the Peacekeeper uniform, he'll be using an addy sword. I gave them adamantine swords and silver whips.
Also, Anima should keep his hammer, because it does really well.
Finally, I love the name. Especially with Peregarrett's explanation. I actually want it now. ( Don't give it to me though, I'm not the right person for that. )

All are equals until proven inferior. In some cases they are proven superior, but typically not when they tout themselves as beings of darkness, chaos, and/or evil. However, at least they are more honest than some. More dangerous are those who claim to be beings of light and peace.

If you don't mind me asking, what was the translation for McClellan's function?
It's mostly C++, with some custom aliases and constructs to simplify display/input, but it's pretty must exactly what it says on the tin. A simple yes or no question. I slipped up once or twice and used TI's modified BASIC that is bundled with their calculators. The exact workings of personal functions called is to be kept secret for sake of strategy. While it is safe to reveal much, a slight amount is to be kept to one's self.

Post by: peregarrett on April 10, 2014, 10:14:09 am
C++? Hmm, I thought that language is a bit more long-winded.Nope, C++ can be very, VERY laconic. For example McClellan's code can be transformed and upgraded into something like:
Whereas Terry's language seems to be a variation on DF RAWs, which is awesome.
Code: [Select]
int stand_by(bool potential_threat, int watch_level,char* mood);
while(true){
char c; cin >> c;
switch(c){
case 'y': return stand_by(TRUE, 1,"amicable");
case 'n': return stand_by(TRUE, 6,"reserved");
// and do not accest any other reply!
}

C++? Hmm, I thought that language is a bit more long-winded.
Whereas Terry's language seems to be a variation on DF RAWs, which is awesome.
It is, hence the aliases. It has a feature, though it's four-times as contrived as it might be, to "alias" commands to a certain name. Even though I have no idea how to use it [correctly], once it's done and added to the header of a program it can be used to expedite work so much.
For example instead of having to write "cout <<" I can just put "output". We're just assuming I aliased it to easier to understand names. I could've made it even simpler in theory, but in reality it would've made things harder. For example "out" is a separate command that has its own special rules and thus cannot be used as an alias. I think "output" is safe. It's surprisingly not that bad a programming language if you bother to learn it. Everyone prefers stuff like Python and Ruby, because it's basically already been aliased and contracted. The single most unwieldy thing about C and C++ is its handling of strings. It doesn't store them as strings. By default it stores them as a matrix of character symbols. That wouldn't be so bad, except the size of said matrix has to be predefined as C++ deals directly with individual bits on RAM and cache memory. ( That's what makes it so handy for writing viruses. Or at least it did back before OS'es came coded with protections about "unauthorized memory access".

C++? Hmm, I thought that language is a bit more long-winded.Nope, C++ can be very, VERY laconic. For example McClellan's code can be transformed and upgraded into something like:
Whereas Terry's language seems to be a variation on DF RAWs, which is awesome.Code: [Select]int stand_by(bool potential_threat, int watch_level,char* mood);
while(true){
char c; cin >> c;
switch(c){
case 'y': return stand_by(TRUE, 1,"amicable");
case 'n': return stand_by(TRUE, 6,"reserved");
// and do not accest any other reply!
}
}
Right, right. I forgot about that thing! Yea, he's better at it than I. So, rephrase... it can be stored as an undefined character matrix, I just don't know how. ( It has to do with using pointers to define the matrix retroactively... I think? )
EDIT: I'm still bad at coding and have this very interesting habit of melding 3+ programming languages in a single program. Typically it's C, C++, and TI's BASIC. Occasionally, I set up a system to use "Python-like" code in C++. The reason? Because I honestly don't know any of them exceptionally well, and I know how to do somethings in one and some in another. It makes a very difficult to follow/reverse-engineer program that nonetheless does what I want to. Just maybe not the most efficiently or with the least effort.
EDIT EDIT: I wish I had thought to use a switch. >.< I'm still new to that and forget that I can use it.

I can make a console for my computer using nothing but Basic. Hooray for Visual Basic!
I do remember trying to nest an array inside another class subtype... That didn't work, which flummoxed my Software Development teacher. By rights, it should have.
EDIT: Here's the class structure code:
Code: [Select]
Structure _Timetable
Dim Day As String
Dim EightAM As _Class
Dim TenAM As _Class
Dim TwelveNoon As _Class
Dim FourPM As _Class
Dim SixPM As _Class
Dim EightPM As _Class
End Structure
Structure _Class
Dim Name As String
Dim ID As String
Dim MaxStudents As Integer
Dim StudentNumber As Integer
End StructureAnd the perpetrating arrays:
Code: [Select]
Public aryClassArray(0 To 8) As _Class
Public aryTimetableArray(0 To 6) As _TimetableIt couldn't read any of the _Class subtypes.
That was incredibly fun, for a school assignment.

Containment is implied or done via divers means. Typically {}. Also, this is why escapement is so vital in many cases. Try adding return; to your functions. Of course there may be additional arguments needed to return depending on the sort of function invoked in the first place.

x and t are in the correct positions. Keep in mind that I cut over sixty dimensions off of that equation.

x and t are in the correct positions. Keep in mind that I cut over sixty dimensions off of that equation.
My calculator determines that your sense of time has three states. Meaning that it would be a matter of terniary logic, except that 1 and -1 are equal so it's really only binary as it's either 0 or 1. That makes it seem like your time itself could then be used for calculations. However, I don't have a sufficiently robust knowledge of physics and you never answer if it was radians or degrees.
EDIT: Not to mention the other assumptions involved, such as only working with whole numbers. However the principle would be the same for the thing I'm meaning.
EDIT EDIT: For all values between -1 to 1 at 12:37PM Y approximately equals .84147098, for the exact values of 1 and -1 the value of y is approximately .51439526
EDIT EDIT EDIT: How is this used as a comprehensible time measurement at all?
EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT: Mmm... Let me try to run this through a function that puts the dimensions in terms of x rather than t so that t can be used as a relative constant. Well no, I don't need to program, I could probably do that by hand.

Shame i possessed my host for awhile, was hoping for it to gain the skill required to make more such weapons but that is a fact of chaos itself, alwasy waring with ones self in an effort to subjegate all known creatures. Still the chaos that was in the order of your language with the void-being of madness pleased me Captain, for despite your effors my calls for the little beasty has come!@ (after all every good weapon needs to be bloodied witht he flesh and blood of our foes!)
I suggest you either put me in my own squad with the axe and let me rip the creature to shreds....after some trainning in a death-room in full steel or adamantine armour. along with a backpack and a flask to carry my drink and food so i wont have to return to the stockpile for a month or two!
and if everything goes well...this axe shall be the bane of all non-dwarves/voidwraiths/warp-spawn in the fort!!! unfortunete for the rest of the spirits here...im not so merciful...unless you manage to get me into a dealing mood...in which point pray its a good mutation or somthing.

did you just really ask that question?
and who the heck let the newbie into the void around the fort anyway?
anyway in the next few days ill be able to finally do my turn, this time with no interruptions!!!
also death isn't an excuse, its considered "nap-time" for this fort. you die, you come back, and do your damn job until you go to sleep again!!!
also by this time I think a invasion fort of void spawn equipped with steel weapons and armor could do the fort in if someone doesn't close the gates. (Hint Hint) or at least beefs the defenses up to the point where we got crossbow dwarves wandering the upper walls of the fort in a patrol mode (Bigger Hint) or tie down the extra male ducks (the ones who don't have good stats) around the perimeter of the fort and if one dies, then we know we got a ambush/siege on the way!
also anyone think its a good idea to make a shaft from the surface down to the adamantine and let the clowns out in the event of a siege? that way the clowns and the guests can argue who's going to kill us all while we sit back laughing our dwarfy asses off watch the limbs, blood, guts, and bones/carapace fly around!
after all isn't it death gates motto to let the guests kill each other for dying rights to our dwarfy blades?

also anyone think its a good idea to make a shaft from the surface down to the adamantine and let the clowns out in the event of a siege? that way the clowns and the guests can argue who's going to kill us all while we sit back laughing our dwarfy asses off watch the limbs, blood, guts, and bones/carapace fly around![/shadow][/color]That'd just result in thralled clowns, who would then proceed to murder the
after all isn't it death gates motto to let the guests kill each other for dying rights to our dwarfy blades?

and Peregarr who immediately posessed another vessel
(http://i60.tinypic.com/65r576.jpg)
Oh, finally some action we got here! A human caravan, and a voidspawn siege! Oh, there's a patriarch leading them, and axelord who has an axe and three shields in every spare hand. Also overlord with mace and three shields also. Time to test our new blades! Voidwraths, to the arms!
Oh, and Kyh has given birth to a boy.
Well, the battle is over. We lost McIgnobel who decided it's great idea to pick up some bolts in the middle of voidspawn squad marching in. Also caravan guards have fallen, protecting their merchants, who made inside safely. We now have a small pool filled with abyssal taint, next to ballista tower. And a few tralls were killed by traps.
But then the Voidwraths came to play. Voidspawn are not a match to them, even the patriarch! First Scalpier bit it in the foot, then VoidGod have litearlly bit it's tooth off, then there were some slashes, bashes, staps and hacks and finally Grombardim hacked it in halves with her axe.

A) Got lucky with that siege
B) Have utter raw power (Most likely)
C) Are so fearless as to bite a big ass bug holding an axe and 3 shields in the FOOT, that the rest of the intruders lost moral.

Perhaps the goblins are a matriarchal race and the many deaths are simply governmental assassinations?

That patriarch put the moves on Anima, flashing its jiggly bits at him. Anima was so aroused that he wanted to make love to it. But then, the other dwarfs saved Anima from becoming a Void daddy by killing the patriarch before foreplay could occur. Many years later, Anima will be haunted by dreams of what could have been with the patriarch, and will forever grieve his departed lover.
I aint even touching that.
also anima why did you bite the tooth out of a insectoid voidspawn anyway? using your magic to create deamonic tendrils to slowly bind and eat away at their flesh as they grow spikes to uinject almost leathal amounts of nerve-stimulants to increase their sensitivity to pain would make glorious screams of carnage and torment!!!
also did my precious little child get any kills? i did have to put a deamon into my host temporairly to make it part of the pyshical realm. and yes i named it after the forest...mostly to get the elves attenntion onto it so they can destroy themselves and turn into somthing akin to these "dark Eldar" ive been watching from the ocean of warp storms. would eb amusign to see them all go insane from over a shiney little"innocent" axe...hehehehehehehehhahahahaha!
and glad the ques going well, ill have to take my turn tomorrow though otherwise im indisposed of from running the fort for another couple weeks. this time i WILL finish my turn. that you can count on. note to the wise: i might end up just making a massive great hall somewhere int he depths of the fort and end up trying to move the entire population into 3x3 areas...i can do some good managment that way. problem is all the nobles will be getting massive rooms...mostly to just spite the slaves. also anyone thinking on using abyssal taint and then pumping it into a small pit filled with goblins to see what happens? i also suggest we put eggunna down in there to see the chemical reaction of the paralisis and the abyssal taint mixing together and see what they do to the goblins.
i support Mad Science!
when its convinent for me that is

Saint have made this:

Chaos MAker, you've got your uniform! A steel hammer, that leather vest, voidspawn bone leggings, and adamantine gauntlet! You are the leader of 'Will of Papers' squad - the only member for now.
And about prisoners, we have two goblin thieves and some wild fauna.
Oh, and here we got a migration wave! 6 adults total, two funny figures - a great animal caretaker and pacifier who is in a constant state of internal rage, and a doctor who's just quick to anger and also has mace skill, what he used to kill 15 trolls in Foggymonstrous.
So yeah. When's my next turn?SOON.

Now I have an image of a leopard print vest lined with bear fur. From now on the Hammer is a Pimp Hammer and his Voidspawn Bone Leggings are dyed/stained purple. The adamantine gauntlet is his pimpin' bling. All that's left his for the squad to be the Pimp Squad.

some-how i turned from being a terror of the warp into some pimping thing-a-job...at least i got artifact stuff. (just need another gauntlet and iull be fine...except ill need some boots to....and dont you dare dye them purple! at least white...or black...or even red! but not purple...or i shall commit unbearable horrors of egguana onto your dwarf...)
and please for the damn sake of chaos itself make the stuff either white or red....i dont care which but not purple...its not even remotly deamonic to be purple!!!
(reason why theres no purple deamons...i killed them all and ate their equivilanbt of souls)
finally looks like im in the sqaud...but if i cant play give my turn to terry,....somtimes i hate having to come hone when im expecting to play DF and i get loaded with a ton of crap...sigh...terry likes to mess with my life.
cant say im not against it though. good luck with your turn dude! meanwhile here in the warp im going to plung another realm into chaos and hopefully turn a dragon....
....
a thought occurs to me, do we even have silver, gold, and platinum coins? if not then i suggest making at least 10 piles of silver, 5 piles of gold, and then 1 pile of platinum as a base for our enconamy. Would that solve most of our trading problems with useless items? after all merchants seem to like shiney coins allot, we could use this against them to make them give us their wares for lower prices...if not then let me at em with the hammer, im sure they will....agreee...to our demands. are you in summer or early fall?

Don't think we have coins here. Last time traders got a load of large gems and some worn cloth, and I don't remember what I took from them. We have a great supply of everything!
And it's autumn here, human traders just have left.
But I consider minting some coins, just for fun watching its images.

anima? after all he was using a slade hammer and a battle-axeMight be, but I think he's a bit overpowered. I mean, he's already a killing machine that explodes any enemy, so no need to charge him with artifact axe.
We have a goblin siege, and our "friendly" troll that dwelled next to Ass Arena turned hostile. It threw Shaggard into cavern lake. As a sing of disaster, the ghost of Peregarrett the MuckRootBerserk has risen!
Voidwrath took care of puny goblins, but we lost Kotter the leatherwork who was caungh outside. And here we have another siege of voidspawn! A squad of them just jumped out forest where VoidWrath was finishing last goblins. Anothe squad swapned at the palisade, and the third at far north border. There also some random troll idles, so they have something to kill for now.
Meanwhile Saber tries to deal with troll who drowned Shaggard, but she's presed by it and just can't land a proper hit with her sword, despite her godly skill.
Obviously Voidwraths think that biting is a nice tactical move against voidspawn, or maybe they just like the taste of abyssal taint. Oryx bites some drone in its tail and shakes around, but then falls into murky pool. Baltharaaz and Scaplier join him in a moment...
So. Baltharaaz and Grombardrim were killed, Oryx drowned, Scalpier is wounded. Some randon troll was bit and soon will become a thrall, I think. Saber has chopped that troll in slices. AnimaRytak suffers from severe blood loss, though I don't see any wounds... except the fat of his right lower arm that is gone. That's strange. Something burned his arm that nobody noticed.
Also he's covered with voidspawn grime.

Then again, I'm pretty sure Toady made it all but impossible for a mortal Dorf to become that powerful now.
Edit: Well, people, my brain did it again. It came out a few seconds later with a theory. Gimli and Legolas couldn't stand each other, right? But after Moria, they started to become friends. What's the main event that happened between the two of them in Moria? Legolas stopped Gimli from falling, by grabbing onto his beard. That spawned the most epic interracial bromance in fiction. But I got to thinking, what was it about that grab that caused two diametrically-opposed men to become such steadfast friends? And then I got it.

Although perhaps 'Anti-Hero' would be a more accurate term. They do good, but not always in the most moral way...That's fair. We can't have a fortress full of paladins though, and even the most moral among us are somewhat corrupt.

Anima have awaken from his sleepdrop. He's still plae, but looks better now. I guess he will get well soon.

If by "itching to play" you meant "praying to Phenax that I can make my mind get through it" then yes I was.Win/win I guess. And here is a little back story to start off my turn for shits and giggles:
Journal of Saber Idarban, Saborian:
I remember the abyss. The cold dark abyss nearly everyone at Murdermachines escaped from. I remember seeing all the lost souls drifting aimlessly.
I remember being one of them.
Back when I was alive, I was a fierce warrior of the proud Saborian race that inhabited the world of Kar Nalish. Me and my pack, it was our duty to hunt great beasts that threatened the tribe. I've fought many terrible things, Dragons, Hydras, a couple of Feral Demons. I sacrificed my life to end one of those demons.
But now I look upon a beast that puts all the others to shame. A beast that even those in the abyss spoke about in hushed whispers, as if they were afraid it would attack if you spoke its name to loudly.
They called the beast, The Voidgod. And they called its lair, Murdermachines.
When I first heard of this "Voidgod", I dismissed him as some fairy tale. But the damned souls in the abyss could not shut up about this legendary warrior. Finally, my Saborian blood got the better of me, and I charged off to test this Voidgod for myself, to see who was the better warrior.
After some wandering around, I found a vortex in the abyss. A beacon to the blood-soaked lands of Murdermachines. I plunged straight in, hoping to find suitable host. Just as I found one, I heard him. I heard the Voidgod's laughter, and suddenly I was ripped away from the host I chose and into another. I still remember the scream of the previous occupant of the body as I merged into it.
When I opened my eyes, my new living eyes, I saw the Voidgod staring at me with a smug look on his face. As I tried to approach him, I fell over my own short legs. Thats when I realized what the Voidgod had done.
First, I was a Dwarf. Secound, I was holding a BABY. Third, I was a WOMAN! Of all things, a WOMAN! The Voidgod then pulled me to my feet, and said:
"Welcome to Murdermachines."
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on April 29, 2014, 11:13:40 pm
"Welcome to Murdermachines."
Tres bien! Has anyone heard from... him, lately? He seems to be suspiciously quiet. Heck, for that matter what happened to ChaosMaker? The great beacon of insanity that was going to return MurderMachines to its proper state of Terryhood? Oh well, I don't mind stepping back and keeping silent while we focus on the Voidlaird for a moment.
Post by: Lolfail0009 on April 29, 2014, 11:25:05 pm

I forgot the old adage... "Speak of the devil, and the devil appears."
I really must insist that you don't interfere. There is sufficient chaos for you to feed off of as is, far too much. Blame that on me having other matters to attend to, I suppose. At any rate, remember that if this fortress goes down you will no longer have an source of amusement.

We're so spread out and strung out between areas, with so many strange and unknown pathways and redundant paths and offshoots, that at this point I imagine that only the best processors are capable of getting a dwarf from Point A to Point B while ensuring that they track through a pool of gecko sauce on the way there.
Post by: Shaggard on April 30, 2014, 06:27:48 pm
Although perhaps 'Anti-Hero' would be a more accurate term. They do good, but not always in the most moral way...
I think "Semi-Villain" might be a bit more accurate, considering, well, MurderMachines.

Journal of Saber Idarban, Saborian:
1st of Granite, 271-
In the months prior to today, after I had arrived to Murdermachines, I decided to survey this fortress and see what was going on and such. Today I finished my assessment and I have only a few words to say about the general state of the fortress.
What. The. FUCK?!
The entire place is littered with trash, corpses, more trash, MORE corpses, and even more trash. In my past life, I visited some messy dwarven fortresses before, but THIS place is just UGLY. Anyway, I've decided, from this moment on, I'm going to do all I can to help clean up this place. I suppose I should also help improve living conditions. I'll decide later.
6th of Granite, 271-
There isn't much going on in the fortress at the moment, other than a goat giving birth. A couple of dwarfs claim to have heard the sounds of fighting and screams in the cavern. Odd. I may look into it later. Anyway, I've ordered the smelters to start- well- smelting ore. I will also be looking for suitable recruits for the military, if any.
On another note, I've noticed that many of the residents of Murdermachines are scarred, missing some limb, or have broken bones. Not just in the military, but in civilians as well. I mean, Fungin the miner is missing her entire right arm. I suppose this should be expected, since this place is a vortex of death and madness.
15th of Granite, 271-
I found a pond being drained into a valley area for no obvious reason.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Anyway, I'm amazed at Murdermachines wealth, productiveness, and military strength. I had the bookkeeper give me an estimate on the total wealth of the fortress, and it was something like 11,000,000! The fortess is as ugly as an donkey and as insane as you can imagine, but DAMN we are productive.

22nd of Granite, 271-
I swear, this fortress is a deathtrap. Today I saw a very startling sight. Two Forgotten beasts were idling reletively near the bedrooms in the first cavern.

...This fortess is getting to me. I've ordered my fellows to begin constuction. The end for the Beasts is near.

Also, we may need more lava in this fortress' design. At the moment it's just wasting away underground, after all. A lava moat could be useful, and if we have an aquifer we could use some more magma to seal off unused parts of the fortress with obsidian.
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on May 01, 2014, 06:49:45 am
Maybe you could lure Baru into a cage trap, using a cave-in to stun it? Using yet more traps and a system of grates, we could coat items in poison as kobold deterrents.Tried that, he apparently has trap_avoid. Don't know about his mate. Just do the cave-in or leave him. I mean, he's been there for like five turns without causing trouble.

We have useful lava things. However if you want to try to limit our space with a lava moat, go ahead and kill half the fort with !!FUN!! However, one thing I think we should do, if we can do it safely, is a magma incinerator. Magma mist could be a health problem, as could the FPS drop.

Cage traps wont work on Forgotten Beasts. Or any other generated megabeast, as they ALL have the [TRAPAVOID] tag. From the massive amount of scars on that puppy, I'm guessing he cant bleed to death. So next beast thing, drop a rock on him and his compatriot.
Trapavoid doesn't apply if the subject is webbed or KO'd. Considering our history trying to manage capturing and deploying a GCS in the area would probably result in an extinction-level event, but if you can KO the Forgotten Beast with a cavein blast you should be able to cage it up just fine, unless they're also hardcoded to be immune to cage traps even if unconscious, which I don't even know if that's a thing.

At the moment, I have ordered a walkway be built over the Beasts heads. Once the walkway is built directly over their heads, I will order part of it disconnected, and the floor will fall upon the beasts, hopefully striking them down. One of the dwarfs told me the names they have given the beasts. Baru, for the two legged reptile, and Lanami the Abyssal Cat, for the iguana.

And now we shall see how the twisted eldritch abomination handles the greatest terror known to man-, elf- and dwarf-kind: FATHERHOOD! (actually, probably not elf-kind, they probably raise them all together like FF12's Viera or something creepy like that)
Nah. All my studies into elf-kind indicate that's their big problem: Elves are terrible parents. The father has almost nothing to do with them and the mothers are pretty crappy too. Honestly, the elves would be better off raised by trolls or wolves. At least then they wouldn't be malnurished and would be taught the proper cycle of nature: eat or be eaten. Not all elves are like this but still. Enough to ruin their entire society. ( Another problem is they use magical trees to raise their young instead of doing it themselves, hence their tree-hugging ways. )
However... Terry as a father? Terrifying. I just hope the child doesn't end up worse than Anima.

You're telling me that our military died in battle against abominations spawned from the void amidst a heavy rainstorm that was reacting with eldritch fire to fill the battlefield with the choking smoke of the burning foulness surrounding the fortress and while being blasted to pieces by explosions of superheated steam?
I'd have been cool if you'd just continued, that's quite possibly the most metal thing that has happened to Murdermachines.

22nd of Felsite, 271
This siege may very well be the death of Murdermachines. Right now, the stupid voidspawn made a fire inside the walls that they cannot pass until its out, giving me time to write in my journal. We have 3 confirmed fatalities on our side, possible more. I DID see Scaliper run off somewhere, chased off by voidspawn. I have no idea if she is alive or not, but my guess is dead. I also saw NCommander's newborn die right in her arms. Poor woman... She's bawling her eyes out one moment and swearing vengence against the voidspawn the next.
Before the fire, We were killing off some assorted voidspawn Drones and Thralls, lead by Anima. During this, I saw Anima get bitten in the foot by a voidspawn. I think thats when it happened...

I think the fires are dying down. I must return to my post.

The Voidgod is dead. After 2 days of fighting it out with NC and The Mad Fool, I decided to step in. The Voidgod looked pitiful in this state.
So I released him from his suffering.

No, i'm keeping this one. This one might be better than the last one, probably because I got the pleasure of killing Anima this time, so i'm cool with it.Maybe give a third try? What if it'll beat those both in awesomeness?
At least Peregarrette is alive and can be a core of new army. Beware my mighty spear! (She's speardwarf, right?)

We've been bantering about the VG getting enthralled literally since the first time Anima brought him in. Thank Armok he put down his weapons (and that presumably Voidspawn enthralling doesn't, apparently, respect your original stats) because otherwise this would have been an extinction-level event.

I think that losing Anima for the third time will probably prove to be the death of this fortress. Really, I suggest shutting ourselves in and building some automated defenses.A Plaguebearer's miasma attack can, apparently, set things ablaze.
Also, how did the Voidspawn make a fire?
Explosives, apparently something that comes with them has a breath weapon that causes ignition.Anima DID put down his weapons and armor, but I believed he would still have his godly stats, which is why I jumped the gun and forbid the hospital door. Apparently, his stats were re-averaged when he turned, so even If I hadn't stepped in, NC and TMF would have killed him eventually.

Moreover, since Anima has had his... accident, I propose we elect Saber as the new Militia commander. NOT just because she is mine, but because she is certianly capable and she DID get the finishing blow on Anima.

I should have predicted as much. Terry would never let me be the one to slay the VoidSpawn since I am not fighting for the joy of the slaughter. I suppose I shall have to select a new vessel and have him trained and equipped.

As of right now, the death count is 8 or more. The damned Voidspawn hit us hard this siege. I dont intend to let this happen again. We are in need of a new Militia commander and a new Captain of the Guard, so I accepted the position of commander.
I lifted the lockdown and everybody rushed out to grab stuff, collect bodies, and reload cages. Speaking of cages, one of the miners narrowly escaped death by falling unconscious on our very own cage traps.

HAH.Exactly. Our little Lanami had shot a deadly glob projectile at SanDiego, causing him to dodge off the edge. When Lanami did that, Big Bad Baru closed in for the kill, landing a punch on his skull. What I find funny is Baru is basically a T-rex, so his arms should be tiny, yet he falcon-punched Diego in the face.

During the current turn, the fort was attacked by approximately all the voidspawn ever complete with freaking fire breath and the Void God got thralled. So he got dead again.
Also, overseer was trying to kill/capture some FBs with cavein bombs and he found out the hard way that one of them had a ranged attack; SanDiego, who should have been safe (as the Broker) dorf-dodged his way into the pit and got a little bit eaten.
So, fairly typical shenanigans for Murdermachines. At the rate we're going the Void God is going to have a higher death count than the damn fort. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Holy Armok. I was walking down the hall when I stumbled upon Talonis and her child, Ustuth. We exchanged words for a bit, then she went her way. As she left, her child looked at me. She stared at me with a unsettling grin on her face, her eyes as dark and as cold as The Abyss. I thought with a chill, "Where have I seen those eyes before?".
Then, Terry came up from behind me and said calmly, "That is my daughter. The reincarnation of the one you slew. The late AnimaRytak.". I couldn't suppress a gasp when he said that. Then, he said "Don't act so surprised. You knew he would return one day. Perhaps not as a infant, but nevertheless. I should think he will want to reclaim his position here in this Vortex of Death. So, 'Godslayer', Be ready to slay again." He walked away, leaving me to wonder how he knew all this.

Errr I have no idea where this Steve would be, nor do I know where the hell is the meeting hall is.You can check if a dining room is designated as a meeting hall with q, I think that using the list of rooms (R?) works too, not sure. You can also just make a new dining room and designate it as a meeting hall, but the more meeting halls there are the fewer dwarves will be in each, so to increase participation in swimming we'd want as few meeting halls as possible. Installing swim training at as many meeting halls as possible would work too.

I had an idea for a (reversible) dwarven waterslide, suitable for swimming training, fast transport and steam generation...Shaggard's unnaturally humane death shall be semi-avenged by himself. There's gonna be some troll jerky in next month's gruel.
Sadly, excessive height and mighty muscles don't stop drowning.
A swimming regime would, however. And boost stats at the same time!
All in favor of a small river in the middle of the meeting hall?

Steve is Steve. How have you not seen Steve? He takes up roughly an entire Z-level. ( The rest of it is the BATTERY, which is his pacemaker. I haven't given him a heart yet. I need to do that. )Aye!

But I'm amazed this fort is still going. When I first stumbled across Deathgate and read through it, I figured its successor was already done too and that a third Deathgate was starting somewhere. Instead... I see that Murdermachines still lives, in some fashion or form.
No idea what's going on though. But it was a fun read for the most part! Tons of fun. This lady will likely be staying out of it though.

I'm still up for Deathgate 3 embarking near a necromancer tower. I had way too much fun having Urist McFarmer becoming Urist McHelsing as they violently beat captured necromancers to death with their bare dwarven fists.If you want a fort like that, just come over to mine. It's so insane that it's the home of the first transsexual dwarf. ( That said, I'm willing to punt it off on anyone who wants it. ) Here is the link. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=135929.msg4965979#msg4965979) It uh... Has so far treated me worse than Murdermachines in every way and with the recent scandal, I'm willing to give it away.

A few notes:
*The elves are not our friends. At all. They are to be slain without mercy.
*There's a torture chamber/day care on the lower z-levels. Can't be arsed to remember exactly where I built the damn thing, but if you need to dispose of prisoners/make sacrifices/indulge yourself, it's there.
*INSCRIBE SLABS. Vengeful ghosts are not something you want hassling you in the middle of a voidspawn invasion.
That's the extent of my advice. When you do take your turn running this Armok-forsaken charnel-house that would do Khorne proud, just remember. Terry is watching. Always.

Okay, you know what. I know you guys expect florid and quotable reactions to occurrences in the fort from me. That's what I do. That's my job here in the Murdermachines thread.
You know what? I got nothing.
What the fuck. Is some random undorfed recruit now our new Darkwing? Hell, even Darkwing just managed to kill two clowns before he went down. It's beyond me that a frigging recruit in the Official Voidspawn Feeding Detachment managed a triple kill on Forgotten Armokhumping Beasts.

Post by: Dwarf4Explosives on June 04, 2014, 11:48:10 pm
On a side note, are we still calling him "The Recruit"? Because making him keep such a seemingly ironic title is probably the only way Terry won't consider this hubris.
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on June 04, 2014, 11:59:44 pm
He single handly slew Baru and Lanami, and nearly solo'd Sodor, when NCommander and Ulborb came to assist towards the end of the duel. He was tired (from Baru tanking like no tomorrow), but those two weren't even needed.That'd explain it. Anyways, I added him to the Tropes page under Badass and Mauve Shirt. Tropes page (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DwarfFortress/Deathgate)I'm going to hazard a guess this guy got a piece of Anima stuck in him. Just a tiny piece.

Hey, Captain, can I get that blurb you promised me?Yea. Actually, if you're up for it, we can do a Skype interview. I'd prefer to do it that way so that there's someone telling me what info is needed while also forcing me to do it. It's not that I don't want to it's just that I have a really bad problem with motivation: I don't have enough. So... Add me on Skype, username is the same as here but all lower-case. Then give me a minute to find a mic and we'll do it. ( I just... really don't want to write... right now. I could record a voice thing also, but the screen is giving me a headache after 11 hours. )

I was hoping for more of a short, witty statement than a whole interview.Ah. Well then you might want someone with more wit.
To sum up my personal experience with MurderMachines?
"What's all the hype about? Besides taking eight tries to get started because of save corruption, MurderMachines was the most docile, well behaved fort I've ever been a part of. My turn was industrious, prosperous, and very fruitful. I got to build and play with several constructions including building a wall with Mardi Gras colours just because I could! And then there's the nice bit of Pixel Art I left for future players. That's nice right? Narry a dwarf drowned, it didn't rain dwarf blood, nothing sponatenously combusted, and there was no three zombie sieges a year! ( Willedabyss, Moltenchannels, and Authoredmountains respectively. ) I never even saw a werebeast and there were no yetis at all! The worst I think I had to deal with was some keas. I mean good grief, MurderMachines practically rolled out the red carpet and kissed my dwarven ass! The one singular mistake I made was taken on Baru, and that was back when he didn't have a little brother or sister. He totally powned everything. So I just save scummed. Sure it was cheating, but eh. Hell, I was able to carve out an image of a dwarf wielding a battle axe and name it Steve. If that a'int useless crap just because you can, I don't know what is!
See, all these other guys don't know that Murdermachines is actually Terry's affection starved wife. ( Because Terry is busy all the time working on making these other guys' life miserable. ) When I was able to use my awesomeness skill to befriend Terry, he backed off and I was able to play a nice little game of Chess with MurderMachines. She was so happy to have someone be nice to her for once, she caused no problems. And hell, once you have the fort's genius locii and its Duw Ahfren on your side, you can do ANYTHING. So while all these guys set crap on fire, wrestle with insanity, eat AnimaBurger, and send Dwarves to their deaths only to find out that they have a mutant hellspawn among the Bonecarvers, I just sit back and have a nice relaxing year with the fort. It just goes to show, you don't need chaos and murder. But I am sadly in the minority on this concept. "

There's the danger room with the battle spear that kills infants, the magma chamber, the day care, and fuck knows what else. It's like if we looked at the Saw movies and said "Jigsaw's a total pussy. We could do better." and then proceeded to go completely batshit insane with our murderous urges. Seriously, at this point the Joker has better impulse control, and Khorne has a lower bodycount.

You know, on impulse, when I was working Deathgate, I put up several upright adamantine spikes in the halls and set them to trigger on civilian-operated pressure plates elsewhere in the fort. They were also hidden. Just to confuse people.
I think I abandoned the project before it reached completion, though, and later wound up just doing the DUCKOTRON instead, which indirectly led to more death anyway so it's all good.

Observations:
- We seem to be out of soap. This could prove problematic. There is a soap maker's workshop int this fortress, right?
- There is a large room consisting of a pool of magma with a ring of orthoclase block floors over it. What's it for?
- There is a skeleton belonging to a dwarf named Sazir Akgosletmos in a crypt with a checkerboard pattern. It is forbidden. Does anyone know why?
- The child care system seems... incomplete. How do I finish it? How do I use it?
- The Deep City... what do I do with it?
Currently planning an underground vault to fill with children to ensure survival. However, I am too afraid to unpause.

1st Granite 272
Over twelve years have passed since I have dwelled here as overseer. My original body is long gone and rotten by now. As I now assume overseership again, I can't say I'm much impressed.
(http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp70/Salisaad/Dwarven%20Fortress/Murder21_zps5e23b2d7.jpg) (http://s398.photobucket.com/user/Salisaad/media/Dwarven%20Fortress/Murder21_zps5e23b2d7.jpg.html)
I hope we have enough coffins.
4th Granite 272
Our outer walls have numerous holes in them. One of the levers claims to operate the green bridge, however none is to be found. I must create my own entrance. Somewhere. I must be swift in my works, though, as I don't expect our enemies to linger.
Also, our animals seem to be murdering each other for no discernible reason.
17th Granite 272
Corpses are piled haphazardly all over the fortress; random, twisting corridors are covered in blood and I do not have the faintest idea where anything may be. The place has hardly changed in the last 12 years.
Although there seems to be less crap on the surface now.
23rd Granite 272
All works continues at incredibly slow pace. There is much more jobs than hands to do it. AnimaRytak's tomb is barely progressing. The outer walls are NOT progressing. There is barely enough here to bury the dead, much less do some work.
24th Granite 272
Praise the void! Some

Ah, come on! It's not as if we didn't have enough of these already!

So, is there a way to close of the caverns, or do I just send in the military and hope for the best?

I may have found the reason for the Voidspawn-thrall rivalry. I'm probably wrong, but if I'm right, the Voidspawn just need the tag "[NOT_LIVING]" added to their raws and they'll stop fighting their thralls.
Doesn't that just make the creature an invalid target for necromancy/etc?
I always thought the problem was that 90% of creatures that wind up thralled succumb to the infection while still fighting their "progenitor," and immediately see them as hostile because they were engaged in battle already.
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on July 02, 2014, 03:13:58 am
Doesn't that just make the creature an invalid target for necromancy/etc?Should also remove antagonism from [OPPOSED_TO_LIFE]. However, if your theory is correct it doesn't matter. Only way to test, of course, is to edit the raws.

26th Granite 272
Since I have no way to know, if we are isolated from the caverns, I decided for the safe solution - sent all our military might on the slug (since when do slugs have feathers?). Hope they don't lose their way en route.
28th Granite 272
Soldiers tell me they can't reach the slug. I guess that's good news. Orders to kill the bastard are delayed. All of the new arrivals except butcher are assigned to masnory and hauling duties.
1st Slate 272
Today, NCommander has been scared to death by the ghost of Shaggard. We really need to expedite the burial process, but we barely have enough hands to do it. And not enough coffins. Need more coffins.
2nd Slate 272
I retract my former comment about the slug being safely outside. During a random inspection I noticed him spreading chaos in our cavern level. Prosnorkulus and Ulborb charge the beast, Microblighted hard on their heels. It is him, who slays Cona, kicking his brains out.
I still can't figure how the hell did that damned slug get inside. The cavern outpost is a godawful mess of bridges, doors, walls, holes in said walls and unmarked levers which probably do somethind unspeakable.
7th Slate 272
The mule and the Water bufallo are still at it. It's like the most boring glatiator fight ever.
10th Slate 272
Prosnorkulus, Ulborb and Microblighted are admitted to hospital and promptly fill it with terrible stench. Thaddeus just hauls shit around like it's not his bussiness. It may take a forceful reminder for him to notice.
A day later, Thaddeus is still not taking care of his patients. Although, with the way things have been going around here, they may just die of thirst before whatever Cona sprayed on them kills them.
12th Slate 272
Apparently, there are more forgotten beasts wandering around. I didn't notice this one till it started nibbling on Scribbles. Before Peregarr was able to strike it down, Espir unfortunately killed Saber.

Also, I just found a corpse lying squarely between no less than four coffins.
18th Slate 272
I just went to check in on Prosnorkulus, Ulborb and Microblighted and it would seem, that the poison of Cona causes rot. Widespread rot. Really widespread.
21st Slate 272
The ghost of Shaggard has finally been put to rest, luckily before he managed to kill anyone else.
25th Slate 272
Krevsin was last surviving member of Peacekeepers, squad with no leader. Since we are also short on guard captains, I have transferred him to guard duty and assigned him the quarters I build. Also, jail is renewed.

17th Felsite 272
AnimaRytak's corpse has been interred in the Tomb. Also, on unrelated note, all adults now have their own rooms.
19th Felsite 272
A goblin snatcher appeared, but a single look on our glorious fortress managed to make him flee. An what's that? Elves coming? Ha! Free target practice!
20th Felsite 272

Anyways... We should start getting down a list of characters and where they fit.
For example, the Fool is obvious, the Emperor should be Anima, I think, Terry is the Devil, I might be Justice, the Tower is the Fort itself. ( For obvious reasons. ) The Spawn might be Death... My character might be Justice but more likely is the Hierophant. I dunno. Anyone else? Suggestions?

Post by: CaptainMcClellan on July 09, 2014, 04:13:46 am
The Tower fits Murdermachines very well. It's a giant fortification that exists as an ill omen.
E: Terry is an entity that exists within the universe. Ergo, he fits more as the Devil. He's a force of malevolence and mayhem, although he isn't pure evil and doesn't use much temptation... so he's not a perfect fit. Even so.

22nd Felsite 272
Pitchblende took my orders to station creatively. For that, he got ganked by greenskin. So did Mafol the Beastslayer, but he seems to be faring better. He killed the speargoblin and now chases the rest. Yuli Vlasi tripped another ambush while he was creatively interpreting my orders. I have to do something about this.
Peregar is now in the middle of the goblins, sowing blunt trauma left and right. Yuli is still alive, Xaren on the other hand is not. That's what you get for not following orders, fella. Mafol has just bitten a goblin in leg so hard, he bruised his bone.
26th Felsite 272
The ambush has been destroyed, only casualties are Pitchblende and Xaren, who wandered where they shouldn't have.
28th Felsite 272
Someone found Aoshi's corpse. Who the hell is Aoshi anyway?

On the subject of the 1600+ (1700+?) corpses lying around, I think we need to end this fort, and fast. Also, has anyone tried my fix for the Voidspawn to see if it works? Arena mode should give conclusive results.

* eye roll * They don't predict the future, they manipulate it. I'd rather leave my future up to other forces and/or myself. Moreover, anything you can learn about yourself and your present can be learned through simple conversation. And as per the past? Well, who cares about that?
Anyways... We should start getting down a list of characters and where they fit.
For example, the Fool is obvious, the Emperor should be Anima, I think, Terry is the Devil, I might be Justice, the Tower is the Fort itself. ( For obvious reasons. ) The Spawn might be Death... My character might be Justice but more likely is the Hierophant. I dunno. Anyone else? Suggestions?
I'd like to submit myself for the Fortune card.

I've checked on my file of the fort, and Mafol has no one for family, EXCEPT a pet bunny ._. which gives me the image of Mafol, fully armored and bloodied, causally playing with his tiny bunny.:I That's terrifying.

1. Find myself a new body, I lost the other ones.
2. Bury the dead, we can't have murderous ghosts hanging around.
3. Clean the surface, the caverns, and the fort. I'm probably going to use Order magic for this one. ((DFhack))
4. Secure the fortress.
5. Murder Terry. He's last because he isn't much of a threat.

I've taken care of the first one. My new body is a fisherdwarf that I assigned to be a furnace operator. She is in the military, so I assigned the best steel armor we have to myself. I'm in the process of the third goal, having cleaned off the surface and dumped the junk under a drawbridge. Terry is bedridden with a slashed-open stomach.

Scaliper is now out of the hospital, but most of his wounds are infected. The other dwarf in the hospital, a mostly useless unnamed dwarf, will probably die soon. I ordered his bed deconstructed so dwarves will notice him. It works and he is soon out of the hospital. I've ordered an atom smasher built in one of the refuse stockpiles because I couldn't find another one. I ordered the dumping and melting of more items than I can count. We're going to need more smelters and furnace operators to get it all done.
((I atom-smashed a lot of things today. If you can't find a particular item, it's probably my fault.))
Post by: TheFlame52 on July 26, 2014, 04:42:56 pm
I'm not sure how they did it, but a goblin ambush somehow got up on the wall. I send the military to kill them, and they rush towards the goblins. The goblins are in the fort now. Tyler Durden and Pitchblende keep the goblins occupied with their crossbows while the rest of the military catches up. Microblighted beheads one goblin while Saber and NCommander kill another. The third is hit with a bolt to the stomach and flees, but Microblighted is faster and cuts off the goblin's leg. He is torn apart by the rest of the military. Ulborb shows that he can still fight with one arm while taking on another goblin singlehandedly. The goblins are all dead, so I order the military back to the gates. The refuse is dumped and the goblinite collected.
Another snatcher is detected by a kitten. The snatcher gives the kitten a slash and runs away. The idiot runs over some weapon traps and dies a slow death by suffocation. I am notified that another snatcher has made off with Samwise Gamgee. Shame. The snatcher must have got in during the ambush. Then, Mr. Strange is possessed and an elven caravan arrives. Another kidnapper makes off with some unnamed child.
Another ambush is detected by a kitten, which is quickly killed. The goblins then make for the fort's entrance, which is defended by 17 stalwart dwarves. The two groups charge at each other and collide with a splat of goblin blood. One goblin gets away, but the rest are slaughtered. Mr. Strange finishes his work, a galena mechanism. It seems like the danger has passed, so I let the military go back to business as usual.
NCommander named his flail. I traded some old clothes for all the elves' animals. I also discovered another snatcher's corpse on some weapon traps. I order some animals butchered because they were beating up the other animals.

SHIT HE'S A CRAZY CAT ABOMINATION
Then Urist Mcloving ran into the atom smasher just as the gate was coming down. She and her daughter will not be missed. But on the bright side, time lurched forward by a whole 2 steps per minute after the bridge dropped. Then I put more coffins in the new mass graveyard. I estimate that there are over 400 coffin in that room, so I order coffin production to stop. Then a migrant named Zasit decided to go hunting. AND BOY DID SHE GO HUNTING. That goddamn dwarven machine gun killed an entire flock of giant sparrows and several giant insects and she's still going.
Then some migrants arrived. None of them were very interesting except for a clothier who I made captain of the guard. Then I found out that Chaosmaker (the hammerer) was sentenced to 5 hammerstrikes. Who will punish him? I had a bunch of zinc bins made and dwarves are busy filling them with stuff.
Zasit is still hunting. What she does is go right up next to her target and shoot it point blank. That way she almost never misses. Sometimes she even hits it with her crossbow. When her target is dead, she carries it to the nearest butcher shop, tops off her quiver, and goes back outside. She'll be legendary in no time.

Cue Terry posting saying he doesn't.Hurrah! I pity my dorf for having to be Terry's Spouse for this long.Well, your dorf's hubby got her a cat~ Maybe it does have a heart after all~
A vile force of darkness has arrived! Two squads of goblins led by a hammerlord and an elite crossbowman. There is also a squad of trolls. I order the Firstborn and the Void-Wraiths to the front entrance and the Bolt Magics above the gate. I wait for the military to arrive.
The first ones to reach the gate are the trolls. Ulborb and Uzol (a new recruit) meet the first one, which Ulborb kills quickly. The rest are torn apart by the military as well. The marksdwarves get a few shots off, but by the time the bolts reach their target, the troll is dead. After killing everyone, the military returns to their positions.
The next to arrive is the elite crossbowman, leading a squad of pikemen. The first shot fired hits Scaliper in the good shoulder. He drops his spear and shield from the pain, but still runs at the goblins. The next bolt is aimed at Microblighted but he blocks it. Then Ulborb enters a martial trance! He decapitates a goblin in one blow, then dodges another bolt from the leader. Ulborb is surrounded, but with the help of Dortimus and Prosnorkulus he breaks out. Scaliper finally gives in to pain, but he's far enough from the goblins to be safe. Then Ulborb leaves the martial trance.
One goblin is killed by Chaos Maker and another by Microblighted. Micro has made his way all the way over by the leader, who is trying to shoot him. Ulborb and Chaos Maker kill their goblins and head to Micro's aid. Micro disembowels a goblin, who starts running. Uzol gets stabbed in the hand, but Ulborb gets pissed and hamstrings the goblin with is teeth. The goblin gets surrounded by the rest of the military and it carved into chunks. The goblins begin to flee, but the dwarves are faster. The slowest goblin is killed by The Mad Fool, who then turns to go back to his post.
At the same time, four trolls who were hiding on top of the catapult tower attack! Dortimus and Prosnorkulus climb the tower while two trolls go down the other staircase. The two dwarves each take a troll on. Dortimus's good wrist is broken, causing her to drop her weapons and pass out, but she is saved by Prosnorkulus just in time. NCommander and Microblighted kill the other two trolls.
From my vantage point atop the walls, I see the last squad of goblins headed for the entrance. I order the dwarves to move forward to cover Dortimus and Scaliper. The dwarves charge the goblins, but the goblins only seem to be passing through. I order the military to kill all the goblins. The Mad Fool claims the first kill, Microblighted the second, Prosnorkulus the third, and Microblighted finishes off the last goblin with a single punch to the skull. The rest of the goblins escape. Weapons and armor are melted, corpses atomsmashed, troll clothes dumped, wounds treated. There are no casualties, but I fear Uzol may never use his hand again.
Post by: TheFlame52 on July 29, 2014, 10:18:10 am
Those two have been out there for weeks, pounding bolts into some giant thrips. They just won't die, even if every bone in their bodies is broken. Talonis is now a legendary marksdwarf. Migrants came, but none are very interesting except for a miner/stonecrafter, an expert macedwarf, and a talented swordsdwarf.
Now the two are down in the caverns, killing elk birds. They also killed a trog that was in the way. Vendix's ghost rose and I put him to rest. I also expanded the food stockpile to many times its original size to make room for all the food. I checked up on all the dwarves injured in the siege. Uzol cannot grasp with his hand, but he can still fight. Dortimus made a full recovery. But Scaliper lost all ability to grasp permanently. What should I do? He can't fight and he can't work because he doesn't have any useful civilian skills.

Somehow I managed to make Murdermachines orderly. Orderly. And I love every minute of it. Terry tried to crash DF again, but it didn't work. Suck on that, you powerless freak of nature!
I have two problems right now. One is that Scaliper is no longer fit for service. The other is that there is not a single weaver in the fort. So I took Scaliper out of the military and put him to work making cloth. I also told Thaddeus to make roasts, and he's turning out masterworks faster than you can blink.
The dwarven caravan arrived, but once again, we don't need anything! But on the way in, the caravan is ambushed by goblins, bowmen led by a spearman. The caravan guards charge the goblins, dashing between trees to rob the bowmen of their advantage. A speardwarf takes on the speargob while the swordsdwarf and hammerdwarf take on the bowgobs. Meanwhile, the military is distracted by a snatcher. Microblighted and Saber are the first dwarves to reach the bowgobs, and they begin turning the goblins into just gobs. A yak that was shot in the heart dies, leaving all its stuff. The goblins are all killed except for two bowgobs that escape.
Another snatcher is discovered but is killed by Kazim with a bolt to the heart. We also catch a flock of crow men who decide that it's a good idea to fly straight into our cage traps. It's too bad we can't train sentients, we have a shitload of trogs and animal men.
Also Thaddeus managed to make over 3000 roasts in just over a month. What.

Post by: TheFlame52 on July 29, 2014, 04:09:41 pm
The first one to arrive is Xaren the marksdwarf. He and the titan exchange shots, but neither gets seriously hurt. Then Kazim joins in, but he can't hit the thing. Then Krosan joins in, hacking at the titan with his steel axe. He hasn't gotten a kill since the voidspawn invasion and he's itching for blood. He's followed by Imush and Ast, two new recruits. The melee fighters are helping distract the beast, but the real damage is being done by the marksdwarves. Xaren shoots the beast in the side, tearing the titan's heart wide open. But then Imush leaps into the air and brings his axe down on the beast's neck. The adamantine cleaves through flesh and bone, completely severing the head. It seems he's gained some of the skill of the axe's previous wielders.
Also I added Scaliper back into the military because his shoulder got better.

One drone axelord runs in far ahead of the others. It then turns around and goes back. The rest of the drone's squad is busy killing their own troll soldiers and each other. Good to know our enemy is still divided.
Two lone soldier axelords run towards the entrance. They are shot at by the first of the marksdwarves, including me. None of the melee dwarves have arrived yet. NCommander meets the first in the cage trap hallway, dropping the beer barrel he was carrying to dodge the first strike. He is winning the fight when the second solder comes up from behind the first. Saber joins the fight a few seconds later, and the two work together to defeat the soldiers. Ulborb joins in soon after. The two soldiers are fighting a losing battle, but they refuse to give up even after Saber and Ulborb remove their limbs and NCommander pulps their bodies. Uzol and Prosnorkulus join the battle as well. Finally, Saber beheads one and the other one bleeds out.
Prosnorkulus leads the charge towards the next voidspawn, a single drone. He shield-bashes the drone's skull in, but mere mortal wounds will not stop such an abomination. The group turns the voidspawn into mincemeat before it finally bleeds to death. An entire squad of voidspawn led by a plaguebringer slowly march toward the entrance.
Three drones catch a cat outside the entrance. Yuli Vasli uses the opportunity to stick a few bolts in the leading drone. The plaguebringer's squad gets into a fight with a troll squad, and the voidspawn start tearing each other apart. Some voidspawn catch a troll on the iron road and begin to tear it apart, injecting venom over and over. Yuli and I use this opportunity to shoot the voidspawn full of holes. Yuli scores the final hit, shooting the troll in the head. I'm out of bolts, so I'm going to go pick some up now. The voidspawn that were killing the troll are now killing each other, and Yuli is still shooting. A thrall chases a troll down the iron road. When it gets close enough, the military charges. They push the troll and thrall up against the weapon traps, which beat the two enemies to a pulp.
Then they go after another lone troll which has come down the iron road. NCommander says he feels dizzy - I hope I haven't exposed the entire military to the transforming taint. The military retreats after killing the lone troll, but Scaliper, Terry, Chaos Maker, and Ast are cornered by the last soldier axelord! Terry disarms the soldier and the rest make short work of it. But a drone sneaks up behind Terry and breaks his shoulder, causing him to drop his shield and pass out! It's too late for him, but I order the military to take care of the drone. Then the drone breaks Chaos Maker's shoulder, making him drop his hammer! He's bravely staying concious, fighting off the pain. And it seems the soldier is not dead yet, having torn Scaliper's foot open.
Chaos Maker loses his fight with the pain and has his skull caved in by the drone. Ast is bitten in the arm by the drone, and venom injected into his blood. Prosorkulus is carving up the soldier. Scaliper is caught between another voidspawn drone and a troll woodcutter. Ast is getting dizzy and his other arm is broken. Terry is saved, Ulborb kills the voidspawn closest to him and the military surrounds him. Ast loses a hand but the dwarves surround him, killing the drone. He bleeds to death soon after. Scaliper's hand is ripped off, taint injected into his blood. He passes out from the pain of his wounds and is struck down.
NCommander flies into a rage and smashes the troll woodcutter's head in. He and Ulborb beat the shit out of the soldier that killed Scaliper while the other dwarves engage the other soldier. Dortimus and Wolfkit spot a troll clerk headed towards the entrance. Wolfkit severs its spine with a blow and he, Dortimus, and the archers kill it. Mafol the Beastslayer and Imush the Titanslayer kill both soldiers. Mafol earns a title, "Korokab" or "The Cavernous Breaker". A surprisingly accurate title. Then a troll weaponsmith is chased around the corner by a wounded drone. The troll is killed by Microblighted. Meanwhile, Thorkild carries an unconscious Terry away from the battlefield. I thought he would be the only one to die, but he was the only one to live. The drone is met by Krosan and Prosnorkulus. The drone decides it's a good idea to charge into the middle of the military, and is reduced to bite-sized chunks. The immediate threat passed, the military returns to the front gates.
Most of the voidspawn are dead. Only a handful remain, all seriously wounded. All the trolls are dead, except for a single uninjured weaponsmith. Half the remaining voidspawn shamble towards the gates, to be met by a charge led by NCommander and one of Terry's cats. The first, a drone, is torn apart while the rest of the assault goes of chasing the cat. After a while, the voidspawn catch the cat and start heading for the entrance. The first one is a thrall, dragging itself along with its arms because of a broken leg. Xaren and I put a few bolts in it as it crawls forward. It is chopped to pieces by the military. Then they charge the next voidspawn, a thrall with no operable limbs. Then they kill a mostly intact drone that just finished killing the troll on the iron road. The drone tears up Dortimus's foot before dying. It also injected taint through her eyelid and tongue. It ripped off her tongue too.
There are only three voidspawn left: two drones locked in combat and one thrall just standing by the corpses of his squad and a troll squad. One of the drones kills the other, so I tell the military to hunt down the survivors. Then, Dortimus transforms into a thrall! Peregarr and Krosan, who were nearby, kill her. Ulborb and NCommander kill the drone then the drone. The siege is broken.
CASUALTIES:
Chaos Maker
Ast the Swordsdwarf
Scaliper
Dortimus
WOUNDED:
Terry
Obok the Macedwarf
This battle took about 4 hours to play. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, advancing the battle frame by frame. I loved every minute of it.

You should probably list what you are going to fix before fixing them, since some of them might be intentional. Most likely not, but possibility always exists.I fixed plaguebringers shooting skin instead of lesser taint and both taint not causing necrosis.
Fuck everything, I'm taking an extra month so I can clean up after this mess. When the new year started, I found out that Yuli Vasli and Plop had died of old age. Then I found out that they were married, and their daughter had witnessed Yuli's death. That's hilarious. I put Talonis Sloth in Yuli's place in the military. I also had Fungin make a bunch of steel weapons because lack of them seems to be a problem with our military. A child who appears to be friends with the entire military toppled something and tried to fight Peregarr. He didn't touch him. Some migrants arrived. I used a few to fill out the military. Also, it appears we have quite a few units of 'dwarf unknown creature substance chops'. I don't want to know. Yuli's daughter is throwing a tantrum. A trog got into the fort somehow, but I shot it to death.
Talonis gave birth to a boy. That reminds me of something I need to do.

They what? So you're telling me that Plaguebringer shoot clouds of skin that IGNITE things?No, they were trying to shoot 'POISON', but voidspawn don't have a material named 'POISON'. Instead, the game made them shoot the first material defined, which is voidspawn skin.

Post by: Wolfkit on August 31, 2014, 04:10:12 pm

So last night, I was minding me own business when all of a sudden Flame IV slaps me own the shoulder and congratulates me on killing that troll earlier, and "Oh by the way Wolfkit? you're overseer now okay bye."
"Wait, WHAT?!"
But Flame just booked it. Why that little...
Upon asking around to figure out his potential motives, I heard rumors that he had had somedwarf named, Terry I think it was (odd name, that), killed. I also heard rumors that Flame was afraid of this Terry, rumors that Flame wasn't afraid of Terry, rumors that everydwarf else was afraid of Terry, rumors that we should be afraid of retrbution from Terry (how would that even work, he's dead, isn't he?), rumors that we should celebrate Terry's death. Now I haven't been here long, but if having dwarves murdered is a cause worth celebrating I'm not sure I want to be here much longer.
Anyway, if I am to be overseer, I'll need fittings deserving of a dwarf of such status. As me first acts as overseer I take the liberty of ordering an adamantine pick to be forged for me by Fungin, our legendary weaponsmith, and a set of rooms for eself. With solid gold furniture. We only have over a thousand bars, it's not like anydwarf will miss a few.
Oh no!
"The forgotten beast Ono has come. A gigantic skinless fox. It has two stubby horns an it has a bloated body. Beware its deadly spittle!"
Eww. Well, at least it doesn't seem to be able to reach us. I think. I hope. I've heard horror stories about some forgotten beast known as Egguana, and some egg roasts. I'm not letting that spittle anywhere near the military, and definately not until my new pick is ready.
Elven traders have arrived! I begin to look into letting them to the trade depot. Not that I want to trade with them or anything, Armok forbid! but for some odd reason we can't seize their goods until after they reach the depot.
Upon further investigation I have come to the conclusion that the entrances are a bloody mess of tangled passages, and I can't make heads nor tails of it. I can't even tell if there is route upon or not! Well, either the elves find their way inside or they don't, I don't really give a rock either way. I'll wait until something important happens such as migrants to put more effort in.
"A vile force of darkness has arrived!"
"Oh hell, my new pick isn't ready yet, I'm not ready to fight the v-" Somedwarf punches me in the face. not sure who.
"When did you turn into an ELF! You've already fought in a voidspawn seige, dimrock! And these aren't void, they're just goblins!"
"Oh. Right. Well then, (battleface) ATTACK!"
Nodwarf complains about not being able to reach the goblins, so I guess there's a route to the surface open. Also, guess we're probably not going to have a chance to seize the merchant's goods.
So far, 2 squads of goblin crossbowgoblins and a squad of goblin swordsgoblins, as wee as 2 goblin axe lords, an elite crossbowgoblin, and 7 trolls have shown up.
A kitten has suffocated in the middle of the hallway, with no recent combat from it on file. Odd.

We have almost reached the surface! Also, who in Armok's infinite, bloody beard though building bridge that look like they're raised when they're down was a good idea?
(http://i.imgur.com/3UddJb0.png)
That has got to be the dumbest kobold I have ever seen. Actually kind of sad, what's going to happen to it.
(http://i.imgur.com/zRgnVAF.png)
Yep. Also, the elves are going to be safe after all. Of course, that just means I'll get to rob them blind.

Reaching the battle at last, I bravely and gallantly finish off a goblin our crossbowdwarves had disabled. At least, as bravely and gallantly as possible when me target is puking his guts out.
(http://i.imgur.com/TdGjGkG.png)
Zasit starts beating the snot out of goblins with the but of her crossbow.
(http://i.imgur.com/CcjJchy.png)
...I forgot to set the civilian alert, didn't I.
Well, we obliterated the goblins with only about 2 wounded (+ or - Imush, who may die), I turn me attention to more pressing matters, such as seizing every last good those elves brought. Not that they really have anything we need or want (I guess the buckets could be useful), but it's the concept of the thing that matters.
(http://i.imgur.com/lrPdXsr.png)
Yeah, you saw what we did to those goblins.
On a happier note, Lilbear has given birth to a baby boy!

Oh no! Ono found his way into the cavern bunker! Thank the bedrock that Flame was around to distract the beast from eating our population.
(http://i.imgur.com/Waqnb3h.png)
...and that Ono's spittle is apparently frozen solid. That's odd.
I immeadiately mobilize the military in hopes of taking this beast down quickly.
(http://i.imgur.com/qh75D16.png)
Flame runs out of bolts and engages in melee combat, but I am not impressed with the results.
(http://i.imgur.com/iwSBJfR.png)
Prosnorklus and the Mad Fool approach! Meanwhile not much progress is made in the fight between Flame and Ono, though Flame is going to have a lovely set of ☼bruises☼ later, though.
(http://i.imgur.com/caTwM0E.png)
And Prosnorklus gets the kill before the Mad Fool can reach the beast! Okay then, crisis averted. I hope. Though if I find a coating of that spittle on my +oatmeal+...
(http://i.imgur.com/wdiN9fa.png)
Suddenly, a brewer is possessed and starts running up from the cavern, and runs past me in the corridor as I haul an armor bin. Speaking of which, I'm the overseer! Why am I being given grunt work? I need to talk to the Mad Fool and tell him that while he may be my commander, I am, in fact his boss!
Note to self - do not bug the Mad Fool. He just smiled in this insanely threatening and threateningly insane way and asked me if I needed any surgery done, since he hadn't had a chance to operate on Ono and needed a patient.
...It's probably a good thing that he's in the military instead of practicing his skills on us, so I'm just going to cower and leave him alone.
(http://i.imgur.com/McW9LzQ.png)
Let's hope this is something good!
Dravek is still gathering materials, my adamantine pick is still not ready, but at least I am off duty! I celebrate by saying that I will not do any menial labors (one of the few priveleges of being overseer). I must practice mining rock, so that I will be ready to mine skulls later! The other dwarves in the military may laugh, but I'll show them. I'll show them all! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahaha.....
I have no clue where that came from. Anyway, I meant that I would show them by becoming a legendary champion, which isn't actually evil. Sorry again about that evil laugh.

A troll has been spotted in the cavern fort and we fear it may have killed Mr Strange. So much for me break.
Kazim is the first there, but he enters the wrong room!
(http://i.imgur.com/6MgVRGX.png)
I must hope that Kazim's dimrockness is the exception, not the norm.
Armokdammit!
(http://i.imgur.com/ayJ507C.png)
Thankfully, the troll decides to leaves the room and engage Saber of its own accord.
(http://i.imgur.com/gsiVbrM.png)
The troll gains the upper hand against Saber somehow, but Peregarr comes to the rescue. Also, Mr Strange is indeed dead.
And I'm off break. That was fast.
Dravek has begun a mysterious construction!
(http://i.imgur.com/chFeBEv.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/GsXkec1.png)
DRAAAAVEEEEKKK! Also, it's worth 748,800☼ apparently. Not that we can sell it.
...well at least we could give it to the hammerer or something. Do we even have one of those?
(http://i.imgur.com/aa96IQp.png)
How fitting. A wiffle bat for a non-existant hammerer.

"It's just a pick, Wolfkit!"
"No, it's me pick... me precious..."
(http://i.imgur.com/5jb6wwL.png)
Migrants!
"Hello migrants, welcome to Murdermachines! The home of murder, of machines, of murderous machines, and of me ≡adamantine pick≡!"
"WOULD YOU QUIT GOING ON ABOUT THAT PICK!!"
"...me precious..."
Anyways, the migrants. 1 gemcutter, 1 peasant, 1 woodcutter with skill with a spear, 1 furnace operator, 1 brewer with skill with a hammer, and an administrator with skill with a sword.
The three with weapon skills have been drafted into the military such that they might marvel at me ≡adamantine pick≡.

The first combat occurs surprising quickly! A group of trolls popped up right next to the fort and are ganging up on pitchblende!
(http://i.imgur.com/3kZCHCT.png)
Not sure pitchblende even has a hope right now...
*shudders*
(http://i.imgur.com/vquTctG.png)
A kobold in the fort? Why do these guys show up at sieges?
Battle begins, and it's hard to keep track of anything in the chaos. NCommander gets knocked down repeatedly by a troll until he manages to bash its head in, then takes on a group of speargoblins. Saber runs off to fight a squad of speargoblins but doesn't get the upper hand and ends up dodging into a pond... Ulborb bites a goblin in the head... The speargoblins try their hands at spearfishing for the ellusive sabertoothed fish...
(http://i.imgur.com/GIFo6NV.png)
Then a goblin axe lord attempts to chop my arm off, and I start paying attention to myself. Also, thank the bedrock for armor.
(http://i.imgur.com/ITGJCav.png)
Yes...
(http://i.imgur.com/CBIoQpA.png)
While I head back to the main fighting after chasing down a bowgoblin, I notice Saber isn't doing so well. And is still in the pool. And is doing worse by the minute, but I'm distracted by another bowgoblin.
(http://i.imgur.com/UJqW3AT.png)
NO!
(http://i.imgur.com/oEZfbY1.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/Ejo2RQS.png)
Enraged by Saber's death, we fight on.
(http://i.imgur.com/CY4mYDU.png)
...
(http://i.imgur.com/WH9MwUJ.png)
I punch through a goblins skull, but I feel guilty about not using my pick. It's okay precious, I didn't mean anything by it...
The battle goes easily after that, though Maxwell Edison loses his left arm.
Unfortunately, Saber's body lies sunk i the water, so we will not even be able to give him a proper burial.
Why did Saber have to die? He was one of our best. The power of overseer and I couldn't save him. And Pitchblende, I ordered him to his death...
Autumn comes, and McIgnobel gives birth to a girl.
I change the military schedule to add 1 month off every 4 months. I think we could use some time off occaisonally to think about things... I do, especially.
I have been given a title by the other dwarves: Regmonom ìrlom, "The Gloved Papers of Permanency".

Migrants!
1 stoneworker, 1 strand extractor, 1 miner, 1 wax worker, 1 woodcrafter, 1 fish cleaner. Only 6, and not one with military experience. Well, at least the miner might come in handy

I tell all the civilians to get inside and for the military to station within the aboveground walls. Don't want anydwarf running off into the ponds.
The first squad of goblins has almost reached the walls and-
(http://i.imgur.com/4FlMfSq.png)
What the magma are those trolls doing up there?
(http://i.imgur.com/Yw6COOK.png)
A seperate group of trolls is the first to head down the main path, and one of the gets brutalized by weapon traps.
(http://i.imgur.com/MvunfWD.png)
A troll approaches! A singular troll. It doesn't have a chance. I almost feel sorry for it.
(http://i.imgur.com/AZZ5Lnz.png)
Meanwhile, the weapon traps claim another victim.
Another troll reaches our front line and Prosnorklus kills it, becoming an Axe Lord!
(http://i.imgur.com/ovkZWxu.png)
After turning a stream of trolls into a fine red mist, the goblins finally reach us.
(http://i.imgur.com/KyNr7cj.png)
The first goblin squad shows a bit more resistance but still are dying fairly quickly, so I decide to go to bed and ask how the battle went later.
Before I reach my room, I am told that the there are trolls in fort!
(http://i.imgur.com/DuTtxar.png)
Shale and slate!
Thankfully, NCommander and Ulborb are nearby, so I give orders for thier squad to kill the trolls.
The seige is over, with no loss other than a miner who arrived in the last migrant wave and was killed by the trolls.
Winter is here.
(http://i.imgur.com/OtmPlFG.png)
A forgotten beast has come! Unlike Ono, this one is in a cavern layer where it can't reach us so I'm leaving it alone.
I've been hearing reports of troglodytes harassing civilians - no life threatening injuries yet though - so I sic the voidwraiths squad on the troglodytes.
Peregarr is taken by a fey mood! And claims a magma forge. Let's hope this is something good!
(http://i.imgur.com/pUETNMi.png)

Wow. He added an image of the goblin whose arm bone he used as and ingrediant. Just, wow.

NRDL's Baelor, "The Bastard," was murdered by gecko demons while the ghost of his first incarnation watched. A trio of spirits of flame managed to waft into the underground booze storage and set the whole damn thing on fire, only eventually being put down after spending a full minute trying to kill one cat. The original Krosan fought a Monkey Brute to the edge of death before a recruit showed up to land the finishing blow, finally being carted away to The Mad Fool's infirmary with massive full-body blistering and scarring caused by the monkey brute's secretions.
But I finished my god damn duck machine. TAKE THAT, HELL.
(Of course, the ducks invariably broke bones on the way down, making them officially the worst paratroopers in history, but such is the cost of progress.)

NCommander has been pretty content lately. She had a pretty decent drink lately.

( Kind of like Bralbaard's Museum (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=104399.0;topicseen) ) Conversely, our quest could be to take an artifact from MurderMachines and bring it back to another fort.+1

Remove as much trash as you can. Maybe gather up the animals to fight the clowns. And see if you can persuade a moody dwarf to use the titan flames.
That sounds like some things that I can do. I'll do them when I can ((probably later))
Also, I'll be doing seasonal updates, and maybe other updates along the way.
Post by: Lolfail0009 on October 16, 2014, 04:08:38 am
Everything has been looked over, and several things have been identified.
In order of importance, they are:
- The ducks.
- The adamantine spire through which I shall bore, the demons shall rise through and fight the ducks.
- The Flames
- The fort's entrances
- An unclaimed dwarf to have as an Overseer-dorf ((because I may or may not have mistaken Kyh as being dead))
Ducks are being relocated and everything is being prepared for mass do-I-need-this-up-to-or-in-the-final-battle-if-not-destroy. That is all.

During my turn a Titan made of flame appeared, and when it died it left a bodypart behind. Said bodypart was its flames. We want to see if we can recreate the red monster sword with it.The FlamesWhat about the mes?
If we're killing the fort anyway, I don't really see any ethical issue with hacking the Titan flames into a sword if that's what it takes. Pretty sure the spade war hammer was hacked anyway.

If by derped you mean deaded, then only a tad. Also, your fatherson is dead, but there's a little girl running around the fort with your name and title.
I seem to have derped.I totally didn't have a hand in your demise and err "reincarnation".
I regret nothing.

I just noticed the update above, holy shit.
You just forced the abomination that haunted us for ages now to step into a room where it was to be stabbed to death, therefore freeing Talonis from the certain domestic violence and/or rape that was sure to be had between the two.
*starts slow clap*
Now, on the list of things that are not OK, that was really not OK.

We annihilated the Voidspawn with only two casualties.
Onto the next project.
We're gonna descend into Hell.
Aaaand out of time for today. Sorry guys, I'll have to continue tomorrow.

Even after being mismanaged, invaded, scorched, driven to insanity, haunted, gutted, repopulated, invaded again, and scared shitless by a disembowled deer, this fortress is still going. It's like if a local vampire was chewing a clove of garlic and sipping holy water while sunbathing on the wooden roof of a church.

Terry vs Herobrine?Nah, he's just on break terrorizing the post editor over at MCforums.Minecraft? They deserve it.
Most supercomputers are as powerful as they are due to the multitude of cores they have. DF runs on one core. The only advantage to having more than one core would be that other programs could run off of them.I may be wrong, but can't you configure DF to run multi-core? Besides, at very least most of the cores on a super computer run about a GHz faster than the ones I can get.

For, you see, the time has come to talk of many things. Of socks, and stones, and voidspawn bile. Of mushrooms, and Gods.
(http://i.imgur.com/tqT46bL.png)
The dwarves of Murdermachines were struck, as one, by a dark force. It was like a fae mood or the possession by otherworldly forces to which many dwarves are prone, but so much greater. As one, their eyes turned downward, and they trudged deeper into the earth.
(http://i.imgur.com/eiXXtEc.png)
Ignoring their livestock, their livelihoods, their forges and crafts, their hopes, their dreams, their walls and mines, they came here. Those who could hold picks struck away at the earth like men possessed, chanting a litany in a dark tongue as they did. Those with no tools clawed at the ground with bare hands and fingernails, scratching the walls and floors smooth. Like the craftsmen they were, their work was exquisite; the rough-cut tunnel into the darkness began to look like an opulent corridor as fast as the miners could dig.
(http://i.imgur.com/XB4jliB.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/H6OKh3R.png)
They delved. Deeper, and deeper, the mass of Murdermachines denizens behind them, scratching the walls clean and smooth as they dug. Until.
(http://i.imgur.com/4a2WIX8.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/zmN9VS2.png)
The very first dwarf to step his way into the fiery pit and meet his doom was Shaggard.
(http://i.imgur.com/UdnTPrD.png)
Wlerin followed rapidly, as a giant insectoid beast made of solid salt stove his brain in a kick.
(http://i.imgur.com/lIlJF93.png)
Carnage ensued. The dwarves laughed and ran toward their destroyers, throwing down their tools and running to embrace flaming pillars of salt and daemons of wrath and malice.
(http://i.imgur.com/GoTCNoG.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/vpIsE4L.png)
A monster made of living brine spewed webs of salt through the halls as it climbed the stairs and pursued into the death-shrine the worshippers had carved. It had been stained with the blood of their fingers as they smoothed it with bare hands. Now it was stained with their lifeblood.
Some dwarves did not embrace death, though; true to their natures, they found meaning in death in battle. They found it.
(http://i.imgur.com/e7aSG6l.png)
Prosnorkulus earned his title as an Axe Lord before they killed him, beheading one of the Yellow Brutes with his trusty axe. I'd wish him godspeed, but no god would give him a second look now.
(http://i.imgur.com/TXOFCoh.png)
A stray guineahen put up a surprising fight against a demon. It died in the end, but it lasted longer than many of its bearded owners.
(http://i.imgur.com/dKGx2Yq.png)
A demon of fire walked into the shrine, and bathed it in flame and the ecstatic screams of the dying.
(http://i.imgur.com/21QCc69.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/M1CMc7j.png)
Filled with an almighty, unnatural blood fury, Prosnorkulus destroys three more daemons: a salt devil, a yellow brute, and a ghostly steam demon. Finally, however, the brine monsters webs prove too much, and Prosnorkulus dies with blood on his face and a death's-head grin on his face.
(http://i.imgur.com/SpJeyiZ.png)
Death.
Death.
(http://i.imgur.com/6xTs5gh.png)
DEATH.
Maxwell Edison runs afoul of the brine monster that claimed victory over Prosnorkulus. It's bearing a cap, possibly taken from Prosnorkulus himself as a trophy, and it seems intent on beating Edison to death with it.
(http://i.imgur.com/F5huma1.png)
It beats on him, ensuring he's kept safely contained in inescapable daemonsalt webs, for over a full month.
The screams and laughter of the dying echo through the bowels of the earth.
(http://i.imgur.com/FvKGYNt.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/o0pPWOH.png)
Rage overtakes Dortimus, who picks up his axe and declares that he's coming to abort the entire fortress.
(http://i.imgur.com/40ruLzS.png)
Maxwell, for his part, continues under his gentle-but-scratchy torture.
(http://i.imgur.com/pZlWq87.png)
Recruits show up. They're not immune to the dark possession; they immediately seize weapons and head to the depths.
http://i.imgur.com/cZIqMmF.png
Finally, one of the salt-devils loses patience with Edison's longevity. It strides over to the entangled dwarf and dashes his body against a wall, ending his torment. He dies smiling.
(http://i.imgur.com/lRFFHTT.png)
Dortimus, in the end, fails to abort the salt devil and gets his head kicked in.
(http://i.imgur.com/M99kycX.png)
Raptor, too.
(http://i.imgur.com/ZDwg6wW.png)
The demons have taken several casualties. Not a majority of their number by far, but impressive for unarmed civilians and deathseekers.
(http://i.imgur.com/T4Cm5BT.png)
One of the migrant-recruits, one of the last surviving dwarves of Murdermachines, meets its end at the hands of a berserking Thorgrim.
And that was it. In just over a month, Murdermachines crumbled to its end.
Or so they thought.
The bodies of the dwarves lay still, but we were always so much more than bodies, weren't we, brethren? We were servants of a dark God, but when the great AnimaRytak tricked him into taking mortal form, we murdered him like all the others. We killed our God and left his corpse to fester.
We are monsters, and yet, the most monstrous thing of all was yet to be done.
These creatures of the depths. Salt and flame, sulfur and brimstone. They hunger, but for what, they do not understand. And now, we have unleashed them.
The dwarves of Deathgate sacrificed their lives, their souls, their sanity, to say that it could be done. To show that Hell could be tamed. And the attempt claimed us.
Now, look upon us.
Hell survived Deathgate. It survived Murdermachines. And in the end, it will survive everything else.
We murdered our God. We don't need another.
What we always needed were allies.
Allies of great power and number.
Allies powerful enough to make even the voidspawn quiver.
Allies ferocious enough to strike fear into the goblinkin.
Allies vicious enough to burn the foresthomes to charcoal.
Allies who needed only one final piece. A piece we have given them. A way to the surface, yes, but something so much more, something only we can show them.
The dwarves of Murdermachines rose, in shattered bodies and broken pieces, and looked not to the surface but to the stars. Infinite other worlds. New places to conquer. Forever.
Trumpets sounded in the deeps. The Mad Fool rose and cackled, the corpses of all those who had been patients in his hospital joining him, their souls and bodies tainted over time by his presence and now bearing boils and disease. When those boils burst, they dripped the sludgy green ooze we had dubbed the gecko sauce. For Pestilence was something with which we were all too familiar.
Prosnorkulus rose, and screamed to the heavens as the fallen dwarves of the military, past and present, rose from their crypts with him. Over the years, their bodies and souls had learned more of War than any other who had ever lived.
Yuli Vlasi's twin souls, Malach and Minkerrow, rose and snarled, as those claimed by the Forgotten Beasts, through starvation, through tainted meals and loss and misery, joined him. They paused and stopped in the larder, gathering baskets and barrels of their precious egg roasts as they shambled toward the gates. The war that was coming would cause Famine across the land, and they had just the thing to render a permanent cure to that ill.
And finally. HE rose. AnimaRytak himself, his Void God armor bleached bone-white. The bones of voidspawn, of fallen daemon, of goblinkin and elves and dwarves and humans, of kobolds, and of all those who his brothers had not claimed... they rose, a horrifying host to rival any army ever raised. Joined by daemons of salt and brine, of steam and sulfur, they marched out of the gates of Murdermachines, never to return.
The Dwarves of Murdermachines had realized their destiny at last. Not to be cast down and destroyed by the God they killed. No. No longer to be cast adrift in the void.
The end of all things, all worlds, all life, had come at last.
Armageddon rises.

I'm trying to imagine the demon-composite, and I'm basically thinking of it as a mish-mash of various textures in an semi-amorphous, vaguely humanoid blob of flesh, with unspeakable fluids dripping off of it. The flame demons are forming it's teeth. Why it's teeth? So that a: it will light creatures on fire when it bites them and b: when the teeth are punched out, they will set the surrounding area on fire as well.You're overthinking this. I'm making each demon one caste of a creature. They share some things, like skills or size, but mostly they are separate individuals.
EDIT: I'm done with the creature file, I just need to do the entity file.

CaptainMcClellan, you'll probably need a late-generation dual-core processor to run the fort. I was getting decent FPS giving it a core to itself on my Phenom II X2, but my understanding is that nobody else was able to coax worthwhile FPS out of the thing. If someone wants to resurrect from the save before mine and try to create an alternate ending I'm completely cool with it, I just figured I'd write an ending since I seemed to be about the only person who could make one happen.
Amusingly, DF is literally one of the reasons why I went with a late-model dual-core instead of a quad-core processor.

Also I'm reviving it from wherever the save I've been given is and am getting decent FPS on the school computers. And that's not even the Comp Sci computers which I haven't tried yet.

DF is single-threaded, unless Toady managed to do some parallelization in the last few releases and I forgot about it.
A dual-core processor will outperform a quad-core in a case like that when the overall clock speed of the processor is similar, even though a slower quad-core will often outperform a faster dual-core on multithreaded applications. The reason being, the individual capabilities of each core will be higher for the dual-core versus the quad-core. A dual core is thus pretty ideal for running DF, because you do need the separate cores so that you can fully dedicate one to the DF process (you can't do this on a single-core because there are essential processes that need to be able to run in parallel with DF itself).
When I run Dwarf Fortress, I generally assign it to run only on one of my two processor cores, and instruct Windows to offer DF pretty much exclusive rights to that core (High priority generally). This means that everything else that needs to run that isn't the DF process gets the second core, and DF takes the first core.
It means that my computer is a bit underpowered for a lot of other applications, but it means that it's taken years for processors to catch up to the single-core performance of mine from 2010. (Although some poking at some benchmark sites does suggest that I've finally been overtaken by higher-end i5 and i7 quad-cores.)

Right, that's pretty much what I thought you meant. Heh. My school's Comp Sci Lab has eight core processors! XD Sadly, they're all only like 1.2 GHz apiece.

Peendiiinng?20 Credit Hours and a sleep condition tend to stymy any personal time, and whether y'all approve or not, I spend most of that talking to my girlfriend of playing some dumb game on my tablet because my laptop isn't working and I'm not about to try the desktop computer at home. Maybe if I lived on campus and had 24-hour access to free comps I'd play more. Good news though, I should be getting a new charger for my laptop in a few business days! Also, as soon as I do my homework today ( or rather if I do ) I'll put in an hour or so on the fort.

Honestly, I kinda like that idea too. Actually, I had a similar thought about shit like HIV/AIDS. I mean, an extremely contagious, unavoidably lethal virus that exploits your own immune system to kill you? Sounds like a species killswitch to me.That it's spread by bodily fluid transfer does give a bit of credence to the notions of the crazy religious fanatics... Though the thought that it's a specific punishment exclusively for one group is where I draw the line and call bullshit. Mm. It's more of a general warning, albeit more drastic than all of the ones we've ignored thusfar since the epoch of the "Age of Reason". ( Which I've always found to be a weird epithet. Reading any historical work by an intellectual shows that we've, if anything, become more unreasonable. Perhaps we are more "tolerant" and even knowledgeable these days, but not more reasonable. )

Well, if I were to make a comparison between sentiences and computer languages... Particularly hierarchy of level. Us young mortal creatures, we are relatively quite far removed from the essence of the Universe itself

Yeah, I suppose... There's always the notion that the universe runs on a higher level but I guess past a certain point human reasoning fails and any argument over descriptors becomes mere semantics. (( As per astral projection, I don't think human methods of it, ie the ones reported and purported by various "paranormal investigators", are legitimate/real/true/whatever term you want to use for the opposite of a lie. Do I think it's possible? Well, that heavily depends on what we're referring to as astral projection. To me, that implies a "ventriloquism of conscious" in which one is able to displace one's consciousness from their body without doing so completely (ie without dying/leaving behind a brain-dead body) and then, do the even more improbable tasks of manifesting that consciousness in any form tangible or ethereal and being able to perceive things from said form. I simply think it's out of the realm of human ability, especially these days. If it existed prior in history, I cannot with any certainty confirm or deny, but I can say that no recent (past 4 centuries or so) account seems to stand up to scrutiny or else simply lacks evidence.))Yes.

Well, if I were to make a comparison between sentiences and computer languages... Particularly hierarchy of level. Us young mortal creatures, we are relatively quite far removed from the essence of the Universe itself((although then you factor in astral projection... don't get me started on that))and we can only really comprehend our own sentience, and perhaps "sentiences" we create, and maybe the sentiences of other creatures. But planets would be a lower level, closer to the Universe's essence, and possess a kind of sentience incomprehensible to us, and stars perhaps at a lower level. Then you move to larger scales of nebulae ((my first thoughts on celestial sentience were nebula-based)) and galaxies, then clusters and superclusters, while also ((or alternatively)) moving to smaller scales of molecules and atoms -- the assembly code andbinarytrinary digits of our Universe.
Also, I'd really like to see how something like THIS (http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2013/01/the-largest-structure-universe-discovered-quasar-group-4-billion-light-years-wide-challenges-current.html) ticks, if indeed celestial sentience is true. To be entirely honest, if we're searching for deities I say we look there.
Meh. There's nothing so far that, to my comprehension, explicitly suggests that the Creator/Designer of the Universe exists within it. ( Personally, I feel that it's the opposite... but there's multiple fields of study and multiple viewpoints, likely as not we're not gonna know. To elaborate, because I feel I should though, I think the universe exists within the imaginative consciousness of an intelligent and creative being who may or may not be all that ever exists, and that God as we think of him is simply his manifestation within his consciousness, for the purpose of communication/direct interaction with his creations. I can't argue this, don't have the idea fully figured out, and don't expect much agreement. Whether God is the demiurge, the chaos, both, or neither ( or something that doesn't fit in or is some combination of all the prior options) is all a mystery to me, but ultimately, from my perspective, it doesn't matter because all would result in no observable difference in the universe as it is. )
However, there could be a whole bunch of fascinating stuff that would make scientists explode from the sheer amount of GLORIOUS DATA. ( As an additional note, this XKCD comic, which quite adequately makes my next point: http://xkcd.com/638/ Even if we were to find evidence of God, we might not perceive that we had, and barring evidence in the ways we expect, many stop searching. And here's where I go back to theist ideology: I think that any interaction between man and God is at his discretion and it is up to his will whether or not we can understand it. I think he has, very many times, communicated with mankind - or various members thereof- in ways we do understand and we can only take on faith what we know. That's with all knowledge though and still no reason to stop trying to find things out, but you know that don't you? :p )

Well, on the astral projection front, I believe that I have successfully performed the feat once ((with divine aid)) in the common sense, and maybe several other times in another sense ((a transposition of a single consciousness between two soulbound bodies)), but I have no hard evidence to support my claim, so take it as you will. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
On the deity front... Your belief that the Universe is manifested inside a divine consciousness is certainly an interesting one; is that not what mortal writers do? It's certainly a fresh look, especially compared to my own belief that the Universe is tended externally, by not one, nor even a few, not even HUNDREDS, but OVER SEVENTEEN THOUSAND divine figures, most of which do not appear in Earthen mythology and/or religious media, be it text or otherwise.

Sadly probably delusions. * pats * Just in case though, be wary not to accept everything they say without some serious consideration. ( Especially considering that which masquerades as deific could well be demonic. ) As per sharing "soulspace", that's not possible, I think you're misunderstanding what a soul is. It's not the same as a conscious or a spirit, it's more analogous to the "source code" of a being's spirit, which can be packed and unpacked by will of those who have that kind of permission. Or another interpretation is that it's something that's developed over time in any cognizant being, but I don't really hold much to that. Either way, it's distinct from the conscious and subconscious "headspaces", though it can influence them. As per your spirit, while I think it can commune with things and supersedes basic consciousness, it still can't really be shared in the sense you say. Moreover, I still find it highly dubious that you have successfully performed astral projection, especially in light of a real or delusional contact with extraterrestrial beings. (( Though you did say "with divine aid", so it's possible. Visions, I think, are distinct from astral projection though, so if you had one of those, it wouldn't count. A vision is more like a spiritual space that conscious and spirit can be brought to temporarily and presented things in allegorical form, the interpretations of which you may then fail to properly ascertain when later recounting it. ( There is also the matter of determining who initiated the vision, which is important. ) Also, like dreams and memories, these visions can later be actively corrupted by your cognitive functions, possibly with no way to stop that. )) That you say that the universe is tended externally by these divine figures, I doubt. I think these maintainers are not so much divine as aligned with divinity and act as agents within the universe on the behalf of the creator. I also think that they're under strict orders not to intervene with the affairs of conscious and physical beings beyond what their job requires, with exception only by explicit order and that any who break this are treated as if they had broken taboo. Possibly with the ostracism involved, and most likely with severe punishment. Compare the concepts of angels and fallen angels and that's basically what I think, except only slightly more complex and that they ( the ones who still follow ) actively guard against "exceptions" in the execution of the universe. i.e. microscopic or macroscopic events that could destroy cognizant lives before their appointed times by some unusual scenario of physics, probably in a realm beyond even our comprehension of quantum physics and cosmology. ) ( As an additional note: I can't recall for certain, but I think that "angel" has a specific meaning and only refers to one class of these beings, which... if I'm remembering right is the messengers. I... * shrug * It's beyond me to say for sure on much. But with that in mind, no all of these beings wouldn't be angels, but that term has kinda come to refer to them all, and that's the context I'm using it in. )
Which? The very last? All knowledge must be taken on faith, that's pretty straight forward. Even "proofs" can be disproven, right? That humans have to take knowledge on faith isn't a call to eschew knowledge as "uncertain" or "inexact", as much as it is motivation to put trust in some higher power than ourselves.

Well, delusions or not, they're very friendly and haven't shown any ill bearing towards me, nor have they tried to influence me off the path of common sense
And, on that "soul == source code" thing... If I were to describe my own soul in such a context, it would be two incredibly different foreign code modules bound together by a foreign netcode module, and MAYBE there's a local parent module in there somewhere that I haven't been able to identify. Are you by any chance familiar with the concept of otherkin? ((Perhaps my analogy of the transposed consciousness was a little awry... I'll need to do some more analysis. I still don't know how physical/metaphysical my destination actually is.))
I don't think what I experienced was a vision; it was certainly as if I had just been transported somewhere and was indeed conversing with an entity. It's rather fun discussing death with a deity that maintains a death-related sphere.
And yes, angels were the messenger spirits.

Shaggard died as he lived, thirsty. This sluggish behemoth of a fortress earned a good death, and found it.

Well, delusions or not, they're very friendly and haven't shown any ill bearing towards me, nor have they tried to influence me off the path of common sense((discounting when one of my headmates reawoke after a long post-manifestation hibernation and immediately tried to take control and eat literally everything and everyone. Mercifully she was still half asleep and could be beaten back until she woke fully and came to reason))so no harm no foul, right?~
And, on that "soul == source code" thing... If I were to describe my own soul in such a context, it would be two incredibly different foreign code modules bound together by a foreign netcode module, and MAYBE there's a local parent module in there somewhere that I haven't been able to identify. Are you by any chance familiar with the concept of otherkin? ((Perhaps my analogy of the transposed consciousness was a little awry... I'll need to do some more analysis. I still don't know how physical/metaphysical my destination actually is.))
I don't think what I experienced was a vision; it was certainly as if I had just been transported somewhere and was indeed conversing with an entity. It's rather fun discussing death with a deity that maintains a death-related sphere.
And yes, angels were the messenger spirits.
Nah, all souls are written in the same source code and humans probably only have one. Some Hindu ( and possibly some Buddhist ) study speculates that humans have three souls. To me, there's insufficient evidence that this is the case and possibly also comes from another misunderstanding of what a soul is, because I do not know what they define as a soul.
Also, I have no idea where you went. Though, a question, did you ask on what authority said being was talking to you on?
You know, I honestly don't know what to say about the last page or so, but it was cool. I spent the last... Ehh... Seven hours testing a glitchy, mechanically incomplete robot, so my brain is consumed and unable to form a proper comment on the subject, one which I find genuinely interesting.Honestly, that sounds more interesting to me. What are you building a robot for?

In my opinion, which is different from modern and postmodern psychology I know, headmates occur when an individual lacks a strong primary persona and as a result every set of urges, especially conflicting ones, is compartmentalized into it's own identity, but they're mostly fractures of the same person, instead of possession or legitimate DID. ( If you choose to believe you're among the exception, that is fine but either way I have to emphasize the need for caution and recommend that you work on building your main persona and building the character thereof. )

I don't think it's possession nor DID, but one past life and one alternate life soulbound to me across time ((and death, in one case)). I say this option because I have access to the memories of both of these lives, even if I don't understand the languages both lives spoke in ((which is a damn pain...)). Also, one of them is incredibly interested in your side to this conversation; he finds it a theory worth pursuing. The other's a bit... wary. She's telling me to tread carefully.
I'd try to draw a representation of my soul, but the last time I tried drawing something I got hit with major dissociation and gods that was terrifying, so I'll pass on that.
As for where I went... In the case of the deity conversation, it was a temple by a river, on an overcast night. There were other people there ((humanoid, but I dunno if they were human)) doing what seemed to be acts of worship towards statues of the being before the being rose out of the river. It looked like it was made of starlight. It introduced itself as "the God by whom all mortals pass", so I'd assume a God of death, or passage, or some such.
SO ANYWAY, are we going to start the next chapter anytime soon?
Sounds good, methinks.

SO ANYWAY, are we going to start the next chapter anytime soon?Um, yeah. I'm like... 7 in-game days in as of last time I tried to play and uh... I'm on right now playing DnD through Google Docs with some friends and trying to get some homework done at the same time, but I figured while I was procrastinating anyway by DnD playing I'd check the forums. So far the only interesting events are that Ulborb named a shield something and that two dwarves are (still) stranded outside of MurderMachines.

Well, I would certainly hope it's not possession or DID. I don't know that it's even possible for things to get "soulbound" and I'm pretty sure that human spirits nor souls linger on Earth for very long nor return to it by natural means. ( ie, If it isn't an elaborate fantasy, it was done to you on purpose, quite probably for less-than-noble reasons. )
And how would you do that? Souls can't be measured by us. That it caused a major stress episode, however, is quite interesting...because that seems to fall in line with people who have certain disorders that cause them to disassociate with reality...
You might want to get that checked out, just refuse any medication offered. I repeat unless you are a clear and present danger or anyone else's DO NOT ACCEPT MEDICATION OR SELF-MEDICATE. If you merely suspect that you are though, it is important to get help as soon as you suspect and by a professional. If you've already been medicated, consider what medication you were placed on and whether or not that may be the cause of your current state or at least a contributing factor. If you don't mind, I'd like to try and help you navigate your inner self sometime.
That's A: probably a vision, being seeped in classical metaphor as it was B: Interesting. C: Worth discussing further elsewhere.
Final thought, I find it significant and interesting that the voice supporting the pursuance of what I've been talking about is male and that the voice telling you to place me under suspicion is female. I will leave you [all] to speculate what I mean by this. However, let it be noted I agree with both voices, in this case, that you should pursue and that you should be wary.
And finally, can we move this off the forum please? This isn't really the place for such discussions. If you would like, I could set up an IRC through a VNC and log it. Or if you don't mind a large corporation getting it, we could do it through gmail? ( Heck, even Private Messaging on the forum might work. Or if you and the others prefer it remain public, then a discussion thread.. but I'd rather move this somewhere private, somewhere where it won't be trolled or derailed. And most importantly, we really need to stop the derailing of this thread. )

This is getting a little ridiculous. Are we now still going on with McClellan's attempt or are we going for Deathgate III?I say Deathgate III. For the name, we should just do random names until we get a good one.
Post by: AoshimaMichio on February 15, 2015, 11:54:33 am
1st parts so far: Death & Murder
2nd parts so far: Gate & Machines
"Death" is result. "Murder" is cause. So third one should be actor. Therefore "Killer".
"Gate" is controlled by "Machines", which is operated by "Levers".
So name of Deathgate III should be "Killerlevers", if such name is even possible. I would prefer such thematic naming convention.

Name of Deathgate III cannot be random, no. It should follow theme.Hmm... Or something like that, yeah.

Helm/Heim... Close enough. As to the Void God, well, he is the purview of Anima.Anima is disassociated with this endeavour as of now. If he is able to return, it's not unreasonable that the Voidgod would as well. The real question is who will begin this venture. Let's set some rules. We nominate the progenitor, we cannot nominate ourself, and only five can be nominated. All nominees must have taken at least one turn in Deathgate or Murdermachines and respond to a PM notificafion. Then we have a blind poll to elect from our nominees to determine who makes the next fort. In case of a tie it comes down to first available. Whoever makes the next fort gets to write the transition story and make the thread, but must take into account the canon and the opinions of the players. The name of the fort will be put up to a separate vote which will be conducted alongside nominations. This sound fair to everyone?

Heh, you have every right to be exited. Slaughterhiem awaits!Mmm, yeah. I'm still playing MurderMachines. To be honest though, I've lost track of what's what. We've had two deaths so far: A Berserking child and a woodcutter who met a mysterious and unfortunate end in the caverns. ( I'm a bit worried about that... ) However, it seems like I'm making progress. I wanted to ask thoiugh, may I use DFHack's autodump and a few other commands to try and raise the framerate? ( It's not the worst I've ever played, about 35-40 FPS, but it could be better. )

To start things off, we have some sad news...
Spoiler: Don't click if you can't handle it. (click to show/hide)
Followed by some excitement!
Spoiler: Yeah. (click to show/hide)
274/01/09 - It rains.
In other news, why was a Stray Water Buffalo inside the fort and is it to late to butcher it? Probably. Off to the dump with you.
274/01/26 - Today I utilized my awesome power! To clean up after the Void-Wraith squad. There
Not to worry though, I got rid of just the skeletons and left the valuables. Valuables I hope to sell to elves for food, salve, and booze.
Spoiler: FINALLY! (click to show/hide)
want to risk not having a Dwarven body around when its owner comes demanding a proper burial. Okay, that's done. Now to clean up any corpses left strewn about the fort. ( Again, excepting dwarves themselves. ) I'll leave the caverns alone, even though they're probably the worst offenders, because they deserve to be wild.
Tholtig Shigosmorul, a dwarven child, has been found dead... Don't rightly know what to do about that.
!!! Wlerin has been struck down! Alright, time to see what the f*** is down in those depths. Aha! Should've known. It's a bluddy Troglodyte.
(http://static.wixstatic.com/media/cc60fd_0ac28507460c49d19096d9cd57c04ee4.png?dn=TROGLODYTE.png)
May I just say that I hate Troglodytes? Ah well... The Voidspawn are kind of far, and it looks as though those down in that cavern might well be facing death anyway, so I'll send the nearest available squad and make an impromptu one out of nearby dwarves. It's far better than simply letting them be picked off one-by-one.I've sent Fungin and an Ezum Sazirgan, after the little bug. And... It's dead! I really wish that I had known it was only a Troglodyte, I would've had it done away with before it had the opportunity to cause this much trouble. Three dwarves dead, a pity. Due to my quick assignment of Ezum Sazirgan to the Peacekeeper squad, he has become Captain of the Guard by default. As he survived and this was ever my position here, I shall take him as my dwarvenly host and dub him Ringo, the Sheriff. To him I give that in accordance to what my position deserves. Already he is equipped with Langgudked, a slade war hammer. This is quite nice, but then, how is it that he came by such a hammer as surely once belonged to AnimaRytak himself? I cannot say, but I shan't make him part with it, in hopes that he will be an effective Captain. ( Coincidentally, why are there no blue capes for my Peacekeeping squad!? This is unacceptable and I shall rectify it immediately. ) I have also assigned that a bed be built inside my office while the mandate goes out for blue capes and tunics. ( We still will need a militia commander and a bookkeeper. I'll just assign those to the best skilled. Congratulations Lurker on becoming our Bookkeeper. )

I'm not going to let them kill the fort.

I WAS A LEGENDARY FURNACE OPERATOR
Also, if I had to guess: It's because you were a legendary furnace operator. In my experience, in any fort utilizing magma forges, furnace operators are somehow the first to go. Even so, you will be missed.

May I? I have lurked for the first, and 2nd Deathgate. I would love to have a year, if no one else minds.I don't mind. I've got a few super projects I'm working on and if noone wanted it, I was just gonna keep rolling, but that's alright, I'm sure I'll get my chance again. Given how productive this year has gone, I might have a pretty substantial headway into the completion of this thing, but at very least I'm gonna have most of the duct work done and a working BATTERY powered millstone. I have a question though, should I keep my project secret or just announce it since we're gonna be opening Deathgate III soon?
Second question, does anyone understand DFTerm ( 2 and/or 3 )? I want to sorta open up a succession fort to public access. Maybe 2 or 3. t'll be a fixed vers, and probably DF2012, since I'm wanting to migrate MurderMachines and my own successioin fort AuthoredMountains to publically accessable. I'll also probably run one on DF2015 once it's out and debugged, but beyond that, I don't know how much I can do.

Alright folks, time to begin world gen.Lol, he means the Voidspawn? I don't know what happened between then and now and this is the first I've gotten around to actually reading the whole thread... but the Voidspawn are pretty pathetic compared to our current military. That said, do we want more hostile races for Slaughterhelm/Deathgate III?
I'm going to include a custom, hostile race in this version. Be warned, they are extremely potent.
I'm also going to be placing us down in a hostile land. There's so many possibilities in this new version and it's Deathgate's job to break them all.
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on February 26, 2015, 09:29:12 am
Gentlemen, I believe we have our orders. :P ( I mean, technically we don't have to because at this point, I'm pretty sure that MurderMachines just passed 2 years old. )So does Deathgate II have any major goal besides "survive the voidspawn?" I mean we already colonized hell.
Ooh! Get voidspawn INTO Hell!
The only thing that saddens me is that the next DF version is too far off for us to have waited for it; the fact that Deathgate I effectively died a slow death by starvation deeply saddens me. We need the world to be filled with rampant boning in order to produce theexpendable slave labormeat puppets we need.
If the voidspawn work as intended, just surviving them is going to be insanely hard.
But aside from "not die" and "build huge awesome mega projects", Murdermachines doesn't really have a main goal.
If, for some reason, Murdermachines dies quicker than Deathgate (which lasted 19 months by the way), then we'll settle Deathgate III into an evil, savage biome with voidspawn access and evil rain.
Opinions all, should Slaughterhelm be in aggressive, hellish world full of improbable spikes of death and doom, or just an average world that we corrupt by our presence? ( Also, I have some ideas for if I start the fort, in terms of story... )

Also, we have a lovely opportunity here now that we can retire the fort instead of abandoning it. We can craft superdwarvenly bodies for ourselves and settle them in instead of stealing bodies. We can also go in as adventurers and ravage the fortress!
And we have our custom race of demons as our extra-spicy version of the Voidspawn, remember? Also, I still kind of want to see whether the addition of the tag [NOT_LIVING] fixes the Voidspawn revolution bug.No I don't remember... and that's really what we should be doing now, testing creatures, maybe even materials. I'll get onto that later today. ( I misplaced the flash drive with the MurderMachines save and haven't had the chance to clean house yet, because of college and mild illness of self and girlfriend from the cold spell. I've seen it as recently as Tuesday so nobody panic yet. In the mean-time... testing. ) I for one would like to mod in some domovoi ( think kobold/cat/ghost hybrids that settle in forts, eat your food, steal/move things and are voidthrall compatible ) and wood-demons/Skull Kids from LoZ. Among other things.

The point is, I've made adventurers into master vampires from the dark ages mod, had them geared with full sets of artifact gear using a modded metal (steel mass+candy properties), legendary out the ass combat skills, using the silly-fun "bullet time" speed boost ability so they're running around at 9.9 speed right?
I had one of these adventurers who I had a lot of fun playing with after I found you can hit someone with a platinum war hammer in the head, send them flying, and THEN cut their head off with a battle axe in mid-air... she has something stupid like 1300 kills. She rampaged through hell but the demons were boring, she's killed hydras by trying to rip their guts out with her teeth and having them BLEED to death (I then realized the guts were way too heavy to rip out like that... ) and singlehandedly depopulated the world of monsters and beasts besides the few FB's hiding from her in the caverns.
There is one thing I will not do with her: pick a fight with a steel angel, nothing is more terrifying in adventurer mode than something which is just as brokenly fast as you, has no organs to injure, no bones or skin to feel pain from, has hand-to-hand attacks tuned and designed for removing limbs AND can fly.
I'd love to help out and test some modded creatures for you folks by putting it up against an angel-blender, by which I mean taking control of in adventurer mode and picking a fight with some... though I don't recommend going with the full speed-boosted solid steel delimbing machines themselves, having something which can last against them at all is a good judge of how much fun it would be to fight it with an army of decked out military dorfs.
Oh, if you would like a solution to the "voidspawn won't use weapons" problem, I've got a lot of practice tweaking hand-to-hand attacks for delimbing, as I said, there are some values that you can set to what seem rather absurd levels which do the job very well.

I'm not sure how terrifying you want your foes to be, but while I was modding a race to be fun to play with as a an adventurer I decided to make them have a civilization and such, but initially they were female only. Later I figured out how to make fully differentiated sexes and didn't realize that a bunch of steel angels and their much less common hyperfast non-winged steel mini-armoks would, well, run armok during world-gen and take over (though they are naturally very peaceful) until I limited their site pops and such heavily. They still do a good job setting up weird little mountain hamlets and towns, but that isn't the point here.Wow... Yeah. While in transit to this terminal I had ideas for a type of titan called a "Nightbringer" that is basically designed like an Enderman with tentacles coming from its arms that is very difficult to kill but its only attack is to release a mist that causes blindness and for a terrible set of beings called reapers that sound a good bit like your steel angels, except undead, opposed to life, and with scyther arms. ( And naturally a high preference for decapitation. )

More than scary deadly beasts though, I'd rather make pest animals. Maybe, with Meph's permission, also import some X-men from Masterwork.

I once stumbled onto a steel angel bandit camp which was being attacked by some of the soldier angels from a neighboring hamlet, it was absolutely terrifying, little metal women zooming around hacking each other up, metal body parts sailing every which way, like being a normal human in the middle of a DBZ battle, except I was a demi-god elf vampire adventurer with like 4.4 speed and still waaaaaaaaaay out of my league, I ran and am proud that I got away despite the easily followed trail of piss I no doubt left behind me.
The fights I've had with them (mostly accidents, a couple ambushes I didn't run from fast enough) tend to be me trying to maneuver in, then a barrage of injuries spam the screen and "the steel angel brewer pokes you in the head and the severed part sails off in an arc, you have been struck down" shortly afterwards.
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on February 26, 2015, 12:32:07 pm
The angels were my "man, a bronze colossus is scary until you're swinging a steel or candy weapon with high dodging skills... what if they were made of steel... *hmmm* I bet..." moment that got me playing around with modding stuff. Elf sized, steel insted of bronze, stupid fast, and they can fly... plus their hand to hand attacks have a couple new options I just labeled "poke" and "chop" with high penetration and high severing ability, respectively.Woo! Now the question is, can you make something that isn't incredibly fatal?

Well, we already have voidspawn, plus demons, I don't think we'll make it past worldgen.Pfft. I've seen some pretty crazy things happen in worldgen, I think we'll be fine.
Also here, have a void-angel.

[DESCRIPTION: A benevolent winged being trapped in the void with an alien appearance]
[NAME:void angel:void angels:void angel]

[DOES_NOT_EXIST]
[ALL_ACTIVE]
[CASTE_NAME:MALE]
[MALE]
[CASTE_NAME:FEMALE]

It's one of the creatures I'm working on, among the few that are finished. ( Due to not having to actually exist in more than legend.

Let me link my demons again:So, some of the demons are really squishy and buggy in adventurer mode so they constantly give off bursts of boiling extract, which is kinda hilarious, but doesn't do as much as you'd think for their combat potential:
http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=10333
(http://i.imgur.com/QtmPk8S.png)
I made a steel angel outsider, left her ungeared, and went and started punching demons in a demonic pit mini-tower, killed 7 I think before they finally managed to kill her.
Made a male angel (avatar of armok, avatars for short) outsider, dfhacked him some steel armor, elf leather cloak, and steel battle axe+shield, they come with natural skill 15 in the relevant skills. He killed quite a few of the squishier demons but a pair actually held their own for a while, a skink brute and blind brute, though a tarantula brute had gotten a lucky kick and removed an arm. It took a while to get through the thick clothing on the skink and blind brutes with "just" a masterwork steel axe.
Then I dropped his gear, dfhacked it into candy, put his arm back on with gm-editor, and dfhacked a plat war hammer to offhand, and headed for the main fortress tower where I find that while trolls hate goblins, they seem to get along with demons just fine... and apparently demons get along with humans fine as well:
(http://i.imgur.com/CGPvUWv.png)
There was actually a human master at the top of the tower too! Was... because, well, habits are hard to break.
After getting about 36 demon kills I went down and found some kids, figured I'd see how they did against demons...
(http://i.imgur.com/BEfhLDJ.png)
Oh yeah, forgot about that.
I ended up hacking the arm off a steam demon and one of the elf kids sat there punching at it while I hacked more limbs off the demon trying to get the other kids to jump in, they ignored it, I got bored of it trying to push the elf and the elf kid missing it so I left them there.
Ranking: skink > blind=sloth > flame=tarantula=somethingfly > vomit/salt/brine
The flame demon outsider I made got quite a few dorfs killed, but kills didn't count since it was due to fire not combat.
Note that the flight gaits aren't listed right, I'll check on them later and see if I can fix them as I've got a race with different castes and two different gaits for the flight and running (angels and avatars) that works perfectly, but the flame demon was stuck at 1.0 movement.
I'm not sure if there should be an interaction for the boiling extract or if I was just supposed to be constantly spouting it, it was hilarious running around like that.
The skink/blind brutes wear the super super super freaky thick demon clothing which is ridiculously effective armor, I set the skink on fire several times with dragonfire and only managed to injure it slightly from the fire and burn the socks off I think? They're also very fast and agile so they'll be nasty as HELL in dorf mode, well done!

Post by: CaptainMcClellan on March 01, 2015, 09:11:13 pm
1st Hematite: Today we began trading with the elves, firstly buying up all of their booze and then taking a wooden statue of an elf. I'm looking also for some midnight blue dye so that work can begin on making the uniforms for the Peacekeeper squad instead of having to wait for the completion of the mill, which should be done by sometime this or next month. While I have them here, I might as well buy up all their produce as well, especially the wild strawberries... I like those. If I get the chance, I'd also like to dedicate an herbalist on processing valley herbs into golden salve to be sold to the next caravan in place of parting with our precious gems. And by precious gems, I mean the lowest quality gems that I could foist upon the elves without offending their sensibilities. I'm also buying crutches just so that we have some spare and never need to produce our own.
I trade:
1 +large clean garnet+
1 =large morganite=
1 *large green zircon*
2 =large rock crystal=
For about 30-40 barrels of booze, all of their fresh fruit, some seeds and some other assorted goods.
~Trade~
Finally I have succesfully traded with elves. Today is a good day.
~Elves~
5th Hematite: An ambush! A hammerspawn in the tunnel leading to the axle I'm building from the BATTERY to the millplain. I'm sending the voidwraiths after them, but I'm afraid it looks like Dortimus is royally screwed.
(( Afraid my screen capture isn't working. You'll just have to take my word for it. ))
Whoa. The voidspawn stopped to kidnap a hamster. It's... Why?
6th Hematite: The hamster-stealing hammerlord spawn is dead. No deaths, but several injuries. As predicted, Dortimus got pretty fucked up and will probably be in the hospital for a while. A fish cleaner, Atis Shagogstakud has been paralyzed from the waist-down and can no longer walk, in addition to being hungry, thirst, and drowsy. As per Dortimus, she may never work again, as she can't stand and cannot well grasp things. Perhaps it's time to let her body be released and assign her a new one. For now, I'm going to see her put in the hospital in the case that she may recover, which we need. We need every dwarf that can work to work. Good thing I bought crutches.
7th Hematite: McIgnobel, the Ghostly Physicist has risen and is haunting the fortress. -"A restless haunt, generally troubling past acquaintances and relatives. This spirit has not been properly memorialized or buried."
16th Hematite: The elven merchants have departed, pleased with their trading here.
17th Hematite: The summer rains have come. How pleasant! :3
19th Hematite: A stray cat has given birth to kittens. I think it's time to initiate a cat-purge... Just to keep the fort from entropying.
21st Hematite: Well the kitticide has begun.
11th Malachite: Some migrants have arrived, breaking the monotony of the summer. Constructions go well so far, with no more surprises. It's slow and idle, but I guess that's better than something horrible happening.
Chaos Amon died from infection today. That's too bad. :|
12th Malachite: Wow. We have an artifact millstone. Wow. Let's just install it and we'll use that to get the mill going.
17th Malachite: Nice! The living McIgnobel has just given birth to a baby girl! Which means McIgnobel is toting around two baby girls in the (not-so)Deadly Caverns. Hooray for MurderMachines! The child was named "Tholtig Savedpadle" and is the daughter of Peregarr, who died earlier.
18th Malachite: Someone's pet cat just had kittens. Time to slaughter some more kittens.
1st Galena: The mandate for constructing rock Slabs is complete.
16th Galena: Vendix is mandating things again.
17th Galena: Atis Shagogstakud, Fish Cleaner has been found dead of dehydration. I kinda saw that one coming. The dwarves brought him to the hospital, but they just kinda dumped him there and didn't put him in a bed. Therefore, he never got water.
A skulking kobold thief! ... It got away.
18th Galena: A human caravan arrived, then turned around and left. Apparently our Depot has somehow become unaccessible? ( I broke the glitch that allowed our Depot to be accessed. Don't know how. )
I've got a blueprint designated but not actually connected, I'm not satisfied with the design yet and I kinda wanna fill it with traps.
20th Galena: Mosus Besmaresis, a Blue Peacock has been found dead.
23rd Galena: Anotheer kobold, I didn't even bother this time. Also, it appears that the human merchants are coming in despite the Depot being inaccessible.
24th Galena: The human merchants have arrived and are unloading their goods. Also, a section of the cave I had been digging for access into MurderMachines collapsed. Apparently it's not necessary anyway, so I'll just call it off and hope there's no injuries. Thorkid was knocked to the ground and his throat bruised, but otherwise he's fine.
26th Galena: Cerol Odurkel, Cat has succumbed to infection.
Autumn has come. This month I'll do my trading with the humans.

Midway through summer now and I have a question: Why isn't the BATTERY producing power/How do I activate the BATTERY? I need to get the milling started.Water can escape through diagonals, yes.
Also, does liquid escape through corners?
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on March 02, 2015, 12:10:00 pm
:| This is very bad. It means I'm going to have to reengineer some of the ducts on my megaproject to correct for sloppiness. At this rate though, the fort is more likely to be powered by wind than water though, just so you guys know. ( The BATTERY, with all its connected appliances requires a whopping 1950 power, one set of the pumps, manually operated ( because someone fudged up the connections in the mechanisms that are supposed to power them anyway, which I have partially corrected ) only produces roundabout 500 power. ) As it is, the single functioning windmill produces only 40 power, so guess what fort is about to have a high z-level windfarm? ( Made nice and convenient due to the horizontal nature of windmills and the fact that being on the top z-level will provide virtually no obstruction to normal functions of the fortress. ) As a hint to what the mega-project is, it requires an obscene amount of flowing water ( and thus pumps and power ) but will also provide a lot of power and prevent a lot of tantrums. Not to mention looking really damn awesome. :) ( I encourage you all to use DFHack's clean and autodump destroy commands to keep the framerate at an operable level. ) I'd like to go ahead and sign up for another turn, because I'll be lucky to get the Windfarm and BATTERY functioning in this term, much less the entire megaproject. In the meantime, suggestions for powering our artifact millstone to grind dimple cups into midnight blue dye to use to dye tunics and make uniforms for our Peacekeeper squad are welcome. ( It might seem obsessive, but I will make it happen before I allow this fort to die. I will save-scum and necro this thread a hundred times if need-be, but I will have a uniformed police squad and a giant, unnecessary contraption up and running forever on its own power without any need for Dwarven intervention. )Midway through summer now and I have a question: Why isn't the BATTERY producing power/How do I activate the BATTERY? I need to get the milling started.Water can escape through diagonals, yes.
Also, does liquid escape through corners?
Other projects I have slated are: Starting a vampire farm/prison, starting a self-sufficient colony in the unused corners that will not be affected by whatever befalls the rest of the fort, and creating a safety room to eventually stash my backup incarnation in permanently as an immortal... I will just have to find a way to become immortal without resorting to vampirism. Also, since I'm making a windmill farm anyway and it'll probably be supported by skyhooks, I plan to make a skyfort. And, for the hell of it, I'd like to have a giant unnecessary sigil imprinted on MurderMachines via pointless construction, and am taking votes for what that should be now.
Anyone who wants to volunteer for any of these projects or add in their own list of Stupid Dwarf Tricks they'd like to do, please speak up now. ( I don't know how we managed to turn a fort full of effective death gods into an Elysium for doing Stupid Dwarf Tricks, but really... Congratulations to all of you who brought a fort all the way from Saint's obsession with Dwarven rum to my own obsessions with pointless construction. Each and everyone of you is some kind of genius and you need to make yourselves "MurderMachines" commemorative badges and proudly state to people who have no idea what you're talking about: "That's right. I was there. We made it happen. WE ARE DWARF FORTRESS MASTERS AND WE ARE PROUD! (Anyone who actually does this and posts a video recording of this will receive some kind of special reward from me. ))

Also, if you want your backup incarnation to be immortal, weresyndromes make you immune to aging.
I'm half-debating signing up for this, too, to make a giant waterslide transport system/defense, but it's going to be a while before I have a chance to participate.

I vote a guitar with the Deathgate I symbol as the bottom part (it's really embarrassing that I can't remember the name) as the Murdermachines Sigil.Hmm. Sounds pretty nice, my idea was an ampersand, but the guitar is probably better.

-___- This really doesn't even come as a surprise. Oh well, summer passed uneventfully enough the first time, it'll probably do the same the second time. Still... All the progress.
You guys aren't holding me to a time limit, are you?.
EDIT: On the upside, this time I'll be able to get screen-captures, a better artifact from the moody dwarf, and still complete the LEGENDARY millstone in the same time frame as before. And with this foresight, I don't even have to retest the BATTERY, I can just get straight to work on the wind-farm. ( And I won't connect the millstone to the BATTERY just yet either, that way I can actually get the dimple-cup grinding underway.

I want the save after my turn at Slaughterhelm is over.I think voting has a few more days, but besides that I haven't had a chance to finish my mods or generally do anything. I was out of town visiting family for my birthday and now that I'm back, I'm catching up on the homework I didn't do for that and other reasons. In addition, I was hoping to get the MurderMachines done first, but towards the interests of getting Slaughterhelm up and going, I'm going to focus on the mods first. ( Especially considering that MurderMachines might want to eat my time. )
So are we going to start it or not? I have all my mods ready, does anyone else have something they want to include?
There is no word 'heim' and I'm not going to the trouble of modding it in. Slaughterhelm it is.If you guys really want, I could add in "heim". It's not like we're talking creature modding here, which takes some time. It's just "find the language file, pop in 2-3 lines for the new word, save, done." Speaking of creature modding, how does one code in attacks? ( I think I've got the basics down for all the creatures I intend to add, just have to puzzle out the entities and make some bodyplan mods, as well as get the materials specked. )
EDIT: If Toady's next update can reasonably be expected "soonish" ( <=2 months ) would anyone want to wait for that? The dancing stuff looks like it could be interesting, plus that gives us more time to set up. If not, I'll try to be ready to roll by week's end. If I'm not, I guess we go ahead and spawn a world.
So what custom world gen values should we use?
Post by: AoshimaMichio on March 09, 2015, 09:52:38 am
Dunno about world gen values, but fortress should be set up on desert sea shore to ensure salty water, aquifer and no trees.

Put elevation variation up and you get an interesting mix of landforms which let you have fun neighbors adjacent to each other, don't set cavern openness too low and passage density too high, it's just annoying and cluttered looking, unless you like densely packed cavern tunnels I suppose?
Some people like big huge worlds, but in fort mode it means enemies will have to travel forever to reach you, even on a 65x65 world it took four years for my first real siege, though part of that could be due to the goblin civs in the central area of the map being at war with each other, so only the far northeast civ attacked me normally.
A 65x65 is big enough for a surprising amount of variety, history, and civs can spread out enough to get established and then start really grinding each other into paste happily, plus it's a good size for adventuring on, you can travel across the map in a reasonable amount of time if you really try, or you can spend literal years in-game exploring everything. Turn all the rejection values at the end of the advanced settings off or you might miss some interesting results. Play with the good/evil square values some if you're after a certain mix, but even with the default values in a 65x65 you will end up with occasional maps that are packed with evil or with an island of good biomes and wilderness/evil all around them.
Don't set good too low or you won't get dorfs readily, don't set max elevation too low for the same reason, I like elevation variation 3200x3200 because it gives chunks of mountains instead of big bands or half the map being blocked off and dead. Toss in a few mountain peaks for the fun of discovering them, a similar number for volcano minimum for the fun therein, go for a north or south pole rather than both so you can have a desert at one end and ice at the other, and if you want it on a desert sea try to set it to one or two partial edge oceans to give a better chance of finding the sort of site you're after.

Oh god I think it's kilopascals isn't it? I don't tweak the materials too much, just slapped together parts to make a denser candy/steel mix.kiloPascals? I can do that, the measures on the Wikipedia are in MegaPascals and GigaPascals. ( Though, to be honest, I'm not sure if I should use GigaPascals, seems like it'd be too big. After all, a MegaPascal would already be kiloPascal2, so a GigaPascal would be like kPa4, which seems as though it'd be a larger number than used in the game and RAWs. ) Know any modding people to ask and do you know if you just input molar mass as is or do things to it first?

- Deadly radioactive Plutonium: Dust or steam?
- DRP: Self-detonating? ( as IRL Plutonium is apt to do in some scenarios, especially when made uncleanly... )
- Hafnium, Silver alloy, Xenotime (Ytterbium ore, as refining is unnecessary and possibly even detrimental) or Cobalt control rods? ( Or all three? ) If so, what alloys of silver? ( Hafnium can be used by itself or in conjunction with tin and other materials to create very effective control rods, not that this will probably matter for sake of my mod, also Hafnium, do to its natural scarcity will probably be achieved alchemaically through
!!MAGIC!!!!ARCANE SCIENCE!!* ) - Thorium, Tungsten, Uranium, or [other] excitation rods? ( Or no excitations rods as all as they are a most dangerous product of !!SCIENCE!! IRL, excitations and fission would more likely be provoked with a concentrated alpha emitter, ie these things or other moderately to highly radioactive elements in high concentration, surrounded by a block of lead that has one miniscule aperture facing the fuel which would be either U235 or P239, but such a fine level of distinction is totally unnecessary as, in game mechanics, it's functionally identical- everything being handled by a complex RAW reaction object.)
- Any language file modifications we want to add?
- How prevalent do we want the domovye to be?
- How "advanced" do we want the domovye to be? Entity level, exotic_pet with adopts_owner, or benign wild animal?
- An interaction in which a dwarf may become a domovoi.

Oh yeah, I forget not everyone hops through the utlities forums regularly collecting toys: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=140645.0Thanks mate.
We've got the voidspawn and we've got the demons, do we really need any other (hostile) races?
No !!Fun!! in not having as many modded doom races as possible, especially if they're all hostile to one another.Yes.
Well, I don't actually know very much about RAW modding, but I do know actual nuclear fission reactors are effectively horribly dangerous steam engines. So, rather than a building that makes power, you could have a building that becomes very, very hot and begins consuming fuel from storage when activated via a lever, thereby heating liquid in the area to become pressurized steam, which in turn can run though turbines, which actually make power. That being effectively how reactors work, though some more complex fuel mechanics would need to happen, as well as both radiation and meltdown stuff.Yes. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=149288.0
As per what you recommended, it seems even more complicated... but I'm not unwilling to try if I'm heavily aided.
Anyway, I still hope that Toady does add in support for the tags mentioned, otherwise there's currently no easy/straight-forward way to implement it.

What should uranium smelting do to them? Bleeding? Rot? Swelling? Blisters? All four?
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on March 11, 2015, 08:59:41 pm
To hell with power, I just want uranium warhammers and dying furnace operators.Well the uranium itself isn't deadly, it's the chance for the Deadly radioactive plutonium that has a chance to be produced as a byproduct and will cause fever, blisters, and swelling. It should inherently cause fever or rot. The uranium will be pretty useful for blunt weapons though. ( It's denser than lead. ) As per the plutonium, instead of just using straight plutonium values I'm going to make it instantly sublimate and ignite at room temperature. The syndrome will be triggered by inhalation, like actual plutonium. Though, should I have it have a fixed temp that'll inflict burns and damage or no?
What should uranium smelting do to them? Bleeding? Rot? Swelling? Blisters? All four?
I'd really like to do the power, but at very least I can have a nuclear forge capable of smelting even magma-safe metals. ( Smelting bauxite, for instance. )
Post by: Amperzand on March 11, 2015, 09:15:54 pm
Also, mining and refining uranium ores is a radiation hazard to workers, just less so, plutonium and a variety of other, vastly more hazardous, and in a few cases quite useful elements are only created in nuclear reactors. And unless raising temperature is hard, my idea should be fairly simple, since it's basically just standard water generators, but with steam instead.
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on March 11, 2015, 09:30:15 pm
Well, if you don't know the list of symptoms, severe radiation poisoning causes rapid hair loss, skin blisters, sunburn up to eleven, neurological decay, bone brittleness, nausea, internal bleeding, eventual necrosis and probably some other stuff I didn't remember.Thanks mate! That's a very helpful list of symptoms.

Yeah, I have stuff in mind for that. Namely, using Nether-cap clothes and ingesting Prussian blue to prevent and help alleviate some of the symptoms.

Post by: CaptainMcClellan on March 11, 2015, 10:49:35 pm
I'm not sure about Nether-Cap, but sure. Also, allowing the dwarves to craft lead platemail would make obvious sense, as would filter masks of some kind. {One of the major issues, once the worst of the radiatioactive isotopes have decayed, or with radiation suits that are just lead plating is ingestion of fallout particles, which being rather dense and usually composed of elements we can't digest, get stuck in your system and slowly irradiate you further.}With it's properties, it should help shield heat-damage. I didn't even think about lead platemail though, that's pretty brilliant.

Ah, yes. Possibly you could use it for reactor-room walls, to help stop the layer of lead bricks from melting. {If a living thing has to worry about direct heat damage from a nuclear reactor, they probably won't care for very long.}Aye, but I'm also adding in clothes/wood armor that can be made from woven nether cap and the reactions to shave nether-cap into strands and to weave it.

A'right. Possibly useful to wear under that lead plate, for padding and to help keep them comfortable in the hot environment deep underground.Mhm, that was what I was thinking, though I'll have to reread the guide on clothing layers to ensure that it works right.

Also, these being dwarves, gold platemail? It'd work just as well, if not better than lead.Eh yeah, but doesn't lead make more effective armor as actual armor instead of just radiation-proofing? Also, there's one problem I thought of with lead armor- I don't know how to make a syndrome that is applied by wearing the syndrome vector. ( That's how syndromes work, btw. You get exposure to something through inhalation, ingestion, etc. and it does things to you. But you can have creature variations as a syndrome and be granted immunity from another class of syndromes via syndrome. I'm pretty sure there is a way to use skin-contact as the vector for the syndrome, because deadly rains can do that, but idk how.)
Post by: endlessblaze on March 12, 2015, 01:02:06 pm
Add the word, also if we add nuclear power We are going to have a party, (and Fun)
To keep it balanced you might want to add enemys that are immune to the efects of radiation so a river of death won't killthem.
Yes to the ents as well.
I personally would wait for the next version though.
Multiracial forts and to many good new features to not use it.
If the next version has problems toady can fix them, if the fixes were to break the save then we can render it non-cannon or do the story soultion of the dwarfs getting fed up with all the insanity and going to another world.

and the insanity....
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on March 12, 2015, 05:23:59 pm
im not to worried about that happening. because if you ask me, a major part of the deathgate saga is the void and body snatching.....though maybe a full on nuclear reactor is a bit much having radiation syndromes and poisoning water with it sounds fine (but I so want that reactor)Well, the way I spin the Slaughterheim world, it's basically a world that came precorrupted by the void, so we're not terribly new, just incredibly insane and dangerous. And I'm not really intending to do it super far from the core concept of Deathgate, we're still body-snatchers from the void and we're still dangerous and insane, and the voidspawn will have invaded this world just like the world of MurderMachines and Deathgate. It's just also going to have a bit more involved smelting, with some bonus crafts that weren't there before and a few small-time races. ( Note: Small-time doesn't mean deadly, though we may, in fact, never see the reapers at all. They're not meant to be around as much as the voidspawn, they're just a different type of threat that provides a valuable dwarfy metal if you can kill them. As per Nightbringers, they're supposed to be more obnoxious than deadly and domovoi are kinda... just there for the hell of it. These three species are all I'm going to add and you all have the power to veto or request amendment for any feature of them. )
and the insanity....
As per the nuclear reactor and the nuclear forge, those are just because I think it would be fun. Not to mention it's not outside the realm of reason that creatures in contact with the void so long have picked up some strange tech. And as per the alchemy... I'm keeping it very, very basic. ( You have a reaction to attempt to make rocks into cheese or plump helmets with about a 50-50 chance of success and the chance of dangerous by-products. ) These mods are meant to augment and enrichen the world of Slaughterheim, not overhaul it. And believe me, I really want it to happen.
To address these legitimate concerns: In addition to what I said above about the player power to veto features and the fact that we could be testing and planning for another few weeks, I don't think anything will make it in that's going to ruin the game. These features are to add a bit more flavour and uniquity to the fort, as well as to provide an alternative to my water-wheel frustrations in MurderMachines. Besides, if we're taking it darker and edgier, which seems to be the ultimate goal of all Dwarf Fortress at some point, then why wouldn't we add new threats? I mean, Voidspawn weren't around in the first Deathgate and they didn't ruin things, I fail to see why ents, domovye, reapers and nightbringers would. Especially considering that our interactions with all but the domovye will probably be very rare. ( Nightbringers are a semi-megabeast that's basically an enderman expy, except with females and more Lovecraftian, ie more tentacles. They don't really attack very violently, but they don't react to pain and the release a gas that causes fever, temporary paralysis and [with you guys' okay] blindness. [I will switch it to temporary blindness if you guys want me to.] ) As per anything everybody else is adding, as long as we keep it pretty small, should be fine. ( Personally, I'm far more interested to see the engravings of the Anima before he even emerges. I have him modded in as a mythical figure. I think that's only fair. )I do fear that we might be going too far from the core concept of Deathgate with all these mods, though. Personally, I would prefer just having the demon army and perhaps the voidspawn.Yeah, at some point it isn't a sequel, it's just another fort with the same community. Like Demongate and Crownhammers.

There's always that one guy who just loafs around on his job. Ulborb has been on the same tile as the giant wood axle I have set up for the windmills and the pumps for my giant project. I can only imagine he's sitting on it like it's a bench. Though considering that his left foot is pretty messed up, I can forgive him. He'll need to move pretty soon once I get the next windmill in and everything starts moving.

24th Malachite: Kresvin has grown attached to an adamantine short sword. On the one hand, great! We'll have a new named artifact soon. On the other, that really sucks because it means that using that sword again is going to be confusing.
A quick lookover of the job list shows some disturbing facts - at least six dwarves are resting in the hospital. What's up with that? On the other hand, Shaggard is dying cloth. That's good.
27th Malachite: Much kitten-slaughter ensues, but hey, that's our way of stamping out cat-based entropy. :) Also there's some more Crow people pecking around the edge surface of the fort. They shouldn't be a concern, but they are there and I thought I'd mention them.
Ah crap, somebody's llama starved to death. We really need an outdoor pasture that's fenced in for protection so that all the rotting corpses of our starving animals don't stink up the place. ( Also, I'm not PETA member, but when an animal death is avoidable, it should be avoided. Especially since Dwarves won't butcher something that died on its own! )
My apologies to those with a sense of aesthetics, I just built the wall based on what is closest.
28th: It's raining.
3rd Galena: Congrats to Microblighted Onolnom, who has become a Cheese Maker. ( I originally read that as "Omnomnom", which lead to much lols on my part.)

5th Galena: The Ghostly Dwarven Baby is haunting the area where I am trying to build windmills to tilt at! Call the Dwarven exorcist!

Also, I don't know who is responsible for the travesty of our Stonemurderer being forbiddden to stonemurder, but I fixed it. Construction on the megaproject must continue!
Despite the fact that Josh could probably be doing something more useful, I've got her engraving the walls of the lava-pit room, because she must never stop engraving! :D
Also, while we're on the subject of Josh, can we just stop for a second to look at how freaking amazing she is?

I am promoting her to unofficial royalty and she will have an extravagant and lovely bedroom with all of the best and things she likes. Therefore, she shan't be verry unhappy anymore. At 141 years old - half as old as the world itself - she deserves better! ( Also, it's good that she no longer be flying into rages. )
11th Galena: Ah, the wonderful sound of a Master dwarf doing what she loves. Making everything she touches a masterpiece. Hopefully, being off mining duty and away from the caverns will boost her morale, and when her GLORIUS FUCKING BEDROOM is done, she should be even happier, if not downright ecstatic. Unfortunately, it seems that we're out of featherwood for now. Maybe the humans will bring some?
12th Galena: Already, Josh's mood increases drastically. A few days of good work and any sad or angry dwarf can find themselves again. Also, her wounds seem to be healing very quickly.

Nope, that's just the Deathgate Madness warping reality itself. We call the madness Terry and scold him whenever reality breaks.

YeahSorry, I was just trying to be funny...
Yeah, but anyways. I'm taking a break from MurderMachines. Anyone want to take a crack at the save or just wait it out until I get through Winter? ( I need some time to resync my sleep schedule, work on my personal project, and much more importantly: spend time with my girlfriend and catch up on my homework. Plus, I've already pushed back my updates like five times now and it's probably just time to cut my loses. As much as I'd like to finish out my year, it's obvious that he doesn't want me to. Since I was just about half-done with my turn, well not really but anyway, we can do it like POTUS succession: you'll get the rest of my term and then have another term on top of that. (Or one-and-a-half in-game years. )) I'm gonna work on my mods for the successor too. Check that out on the successor thread if it interests you.
EDIT: If anyone takes the file, there's a few errands I'd like you to do. ( Things I was doing myself but didn't get around to. )
- Finish the second windmill to power the artifact millstone ( Don't hook it up to the BATTERY yet!!! It's not ready!)
- Finish making Josh the Hawk's oppulent bedroom in Steve's foot. ( If you need more specific directions, I'll post those.)
- Set up an elaborate windmill stack.
- Set up windmills over my self-powering pumps until we can get the water running.
- Finish up the channeling for my ridiculous(ly awesome) megaproject, if you can figure out what I'm doing.

1. We have iron, flux, and coke. Yet we have less than a hundred steel bars. I aim to fix this.
2. We have a shitton of stuff we could melt. I'm fixing this too.
3. I used autodump to get all the random corpses so we could bury them. Scaliper is finally at rest.
4. I made a new squad of recruits led by Grombardrim. Don't put them in combat until they're trained up.
5. I redorfed myself.
6. I also caged all the ducks.
7. We ran out of flux so I'm mining more as needed.
8. Voidspawn ambush, including a fucking patriarch. Only casualty was Kazim who I redwarfed. They also chased away the dwarven caravan.
9. We need to mine some more adamantine.
10. I made Microblighted militia commander so I could put people in squads.
11. Scribbles is going to make something out of adamantine.
Basically our biggest problem is that over the years, our military has been reduced to a handful of uncaring, grizzled veterans. We need to train up more recruits and not kill them immediately in order to rebuild the military. Until then, we can only really use 4 dwarves, three of which are missing limbs.
EDIT: Scribbles made an earring and became a metalcrafter. Prosnorkulus is rotting, he probably got overlord blood on him. I made a dedicated medical dwarf so he would get treated before dying of infection.
EDIT2: OH BALLS HE'S SUFFOCATING ON THE OPERATING TABLE
I HOPE HE MAKES IT, OTHERWISE WE'RE FUCKED

That happened to me to during one of my playthroughs, though the damage was less. Also, what do we need so much steel for/why so much re-militarization? During the whole time I'd been playing we'd had no major attacks. ( I guess it'll be nice to be able to murdernate things at the touch of a button, but the costs in productivity... )

As for militarization, did you not notice the fact where we are now down to three dwarves capable of fighting voidspawn?
Post by: TheFlame52 on March 22, 2015, 07:45:00 pm
2. I also moved the depot at some point. It's near where those drawbridges close in part of the map edge. That way, traders will come in though there where it's relatively safe.
3. McClellan, your big rig for millstones doesn't work, so I just built a millstone with a windmill on top inside the walls. Simplicity!
4. I've put a magma kiln in a spot that looks like it was made for it. Fungin got a little burned but he's fine.
5. When winter hit I dug out a lot of the stuff frozen in the ponds. I buried a lot of corpses.

We have 1700 iron bars. They should be steel bars.Why?
As for militarization, did you not notice the fact where we are now down to three dwarves capable of fighting voidspawn?
Yes. And before my turn, the military didn't even have half of its trainees. We need more traps and walls though. We can't afford to lose the dwarves. ( Also, no severe Voidspawn attacks happened at all during the duration of any of my turns, all the problems were of Terry's doing. )
1. WE ONLY HAVE ONE STILL AND IT'S IN THE FUCKING CAVERNS, WHAT IS THIS BLASPHEMY1. Our steel bar is in the caverns? Weird.
2. I also moved the depot at some point. It's near where those drawbridges close in part of the map edge. That way, traders will come in though there where it's relatively safe.

2. Nice. I was going to tunnel a new path to them, but I ended up giving up on that. It wasn't that fruitful an endeavour. Moving it was a way better options.
3. HERESY more like. In seriousness, why doesn't it work? ( It should entirely work. ) Preferably with screenshots so I can detect what went wrong.
4. Hmmm.... Good.
5. Yeah, do we still have our ghost baby at least?
Not bad....give us a list of ALL THE ARTIFACTSIt's a short list, there's only 20-30 or so.
Post by: TheFlame52 on March 23, 2015, 04:59:19 pm
1. We need legendary soldiers, desperately. I used the shaft of enlightenment I found to make ~10 legendaries, I'm in the process of expanding it.
2. I was going to overhaul our traps, but...
3. Voidspawn siege! Including two patriarchs and an overlord, oh shit! I've sent the Void Guard out, but right now they're going full loyalty cascade as they kill their own trolls and each other. I'm going to remove using evil animals from the voidspawn in Slaughterhelm.
4. They killed each other and all left. A patriarch and some trolls assaulted the gates but were killed. NCommander was briefly dizzy - I seem to remember Prosnorkulus being dizzy after killing that other overlord...
5. Cleanup is going well.
6. Aaaaaand there goes NCommander. I'm going to put some of the now-legendary recruits in the Void Guard.

2. No casualties, but many wounded. After singlehandedly killing two patriarchs, Microblighted was put in the hospital for rotting. He survived the operating table but he is slowly dying of infection. One recruit will never walk again.
3. I killed both FBs. Also, a new one came and found its way into the dining hall. Nobody was hurt but everyone caught in the gas is nauseous forever. Vendix won't wake up.
4. Tomio and Urist McLoving were killed in a cave-in. They have been re-dwarfed as furnace operators.
5. Migrants, a few of them. They will be put to work.
6. There's a pool of kitten rot somewhere. I know this because our kittens are rotting.
7. An old body of Urist McLoving rose as a ghost and was put to rest. She was crushed by a drawbridge three years ago.
Microblighted is pale. He doesn't have much time left. He likes fine pewter and microcline, so I'm making him a tomb out of microcline with a fine pewter sarcophagus.
(http://i.imgur.com/ynX3wCn.png)
I had a slab engraved for him. Dwarves hauled all his stuff into the tomb. My favorite dwarf in this whole fort, slayer of many goblins and voidspawn. You held back the darkness as long as you could, but you eventually succumbed to it.
Goodnight, sweet prince. May you smite voidspawn forever in dwarven hell.

Yikes, you guys are not being luck in matters of health!I don't want to speak too soon, but I'm at least okay enough to try attending class today. I've got my phone handy in case that doesn't pan out and a strategic plan not to eat anything I normally would. ( I'm sticking just to pretzels, Cheezits and Gatorade/Powerade. ) The thing I really wish for is a place to nap. I'm going to crack open the save after class today to at least get a look around, but for now I could really use a place to nap...

Pretzels, Cheezits (seriously, who came up with that name? It sounds like cheese zits.) and Gatorade does not sound all too conducive to your health, and more like the sort of plan you'd come up with while severely sleep-deprived. Hope you get better soon.They're also foods that are very difficult to trigger vomiting with and that generally absorb excess bile and stomach acid, therefore allowing me to have matter on which to begin my recovery process and fluids with which not to succumb to dehydration. Keep in mind that it's what I've been eating since I've had strength to eat and I haven't vomited since. ( Even if I had, it's way better to vomit up Gatorade than most other drink-stuffs and the local water is 100% guaranteed to worsen my health. ) Also, it's not my plan, it's what's worked in the case of not being able to keep food down in the past.

At least that's somewhat more logical than what I was thinking. But eegh, I feel really bad for you if Gatorade is a better choice than water. Where do you live?Way too close to the Gulf of Mexico. ;) Also though, our plumbing is bad. We rent. ( Not to mention that straight water isn't the best thing to throw on a sour stomach for the same reason you don't wanna drink it after eating something really spicy: It just makes it spread. )
Anyway, how are all of you?

Both. Heh. Just to put it in perspective, I know more about mechanical engineering and nuclear science than I do basic mathematics.I think I do too.
Same thing here. I can visualize the warping of spacetime with ease but I can't figure out even a basic proof in geometry.Proofs are annoying.
I need to do my homework soon and will do it about an hour past when I need to start, as I figure.

Okay, the story part is going well, but the modding part crashes the game on unpause with no errorlog. Let's see if exterminating the cats fixes it...Are you still working on MurderMachines or have you moved on to SlaughterHelm?

1. Just have to iron out some issues with the Nightbringer so that it doesn't null world-gen half the time but still shows up, refine the Domovoi and reaper entities, try to figure out a way to get domovye to settle in sites and be usable as pets while still being an entity ( Or else, how to make them widespread enough so that an entity isn't necessary ), and finish inputting the values for radioactive materials and their symptoms, as well as the preventative symptoms.

I'm still working on Murdermachines' ending. I can't get the modding part working right, but after I do I'll start posting the end.Ok. Just don't render it unplayable, we're definitely having an after the end chapter. If nothing else, I wanna get the battery and the wind farm working and get a uniformed police force. After that, I guess... It'll be based on the interests of others. I don't have as much time as I used to and if I'm'a play Dwarf Fortress, I'd like to play the newest version.

All I had to do was use dfhack's liquids to get rid of all the trees in the BATTEREY and make some useless dwarves pump operators to give it a kick start. I've gotten 13 extra wafers so far and more will come soon, as the obsidian is reaching another spire.:o I didn't even think to use dfhack to unclog the BATTERY.
If I can't solve the modding problem in a few days I'll just write story and not have screenshots to go with it.
Mmmm, that's fair. No need to further corrupt MurderMachines, I guess.

Armok looked down at his favorite fortress, Murdermachines. He knew it was doomed, be it from voidspawn, demons, goblins, or even simply the stupidity of an overseer. He knew it could not last. There would be a quick burst of blood and then nothing. The constant flow would stop, and Armok would have to move on. So he decided to do something about it.
Flame thought about the shattered military. There were too few dwarves to draft. Even with tricks like the danger room and the shaft of enlightenment, there was still no way to train enough dwarves. Her only hope was to reinforce what she had. With adamantine.
Down in once of the many catacombs, in a forgotten stockpile, there lay a skeleton. Nobody knew who it belonged to, their profession, or even their gender. All they knew is that it was dwarven. There was no moss or lichen on the bones, they had lain there so long the moss had long since died. The bones lay in a rough arrangement, where the corpse had been placed all those years before.
Slowly, the skeleton's bones began to blacken. The gnaw marks from vermin began to fill in with fresh bone. From the joints grew rough gray ligaments and muscle. Over the muscle formed shining gray skin. Through the skin the glow of the earth's blood could be seen. Closed eyes and a mouth formed on the face. The eyes opened, revealing a fiery glow beneath. Finally, a magnificent beard of glowing blue strands grew on the face.
Armok rose from where he lay. He walked into the nearby catacombs, raising his godly hand toward the coffins.
Wolfkit chipped away at the adamantine, cutting it into a boulder. Suddenly, his pick met no resistance. The adamantine crumbled away to reveal a grinning, contorted face. He barely had time to cry out before being consumed in fire.
Flame stood in front of one of the coffins of her former bodies. She occasionally visited the catacombs, for sometimes her past lives remembered helped her in this one. Suddenly, her perception seemed split. She felt as if her whole body was itching terribly, but it didn't. She saw darkness, but she also saw the coffin in front of her. She pushed the coffin lid open, but she stayed standing where she was. And she saw herself standing in front of her coffin, and she saw herself rise out of the coffin in front of her, fully formed and very much alive.
All around her, corpses rose from their coffins, flesh forming on their bones. And in the center of it all, a dwarf with metal skin and glowing eyes. A god. Armok.
Armok turned his glowing eyes toward the overseer. He opened his mouth and spoke. "I HAVE GIVEN YOU A BOON, TERRYSLAYER. USE IT WISELY. YOUR BROKEN MILITARY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND WHAT IS COMING. SO I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE TOOLS TO FIX IT."
As he spoke, a cry was heard from the depths.
"DEMONS IN THE DEEP!"
A second cry echoed down from above.
"VOIDSPAWN! DWARVES TO THE GATES!"

Post by: endlessblaze on May 01, 2015, 02:29:45 pm
Poor Armok. Sure, we may have almost four or five hundred dead dwarves in our catacombs, but can they take on both the Voidspawn and the demons?

Or at least, that's what I thought until I remembered that we probably have both of the prime incarnations of the Void God down there.
Also when we consider the goblite we might still have.
Crappy weapons (and the rare good ones) in the hands of whatever crappy skilled dwarfs are down there my not be that effective, but that's alot of dwarfs........

Flame, shaking herself out of her stupor, looked around at the newly risen dwarves. They were somewhat confused, but they knew gods were involved somehow and took it in stride. They'd seen stranger things at Murdermachines. Terry, who had been buried nearby, couldn't remember anything and said his name was Datan. Void spirits left their bodies and found their old favorite bodies. Also, they were all naked, which would have to be fixed.
The nudists streaked their way straight to the nearest finished goods stockpile where they put on cast off goblin clothes and the occasional dead migrant sock. Flame set about assigning anyone who had ever been in the military to a squad. In the meantime, hordes of undying and fearless civilians held off the voidspawn and demon hordes. AnimaRytak was restored to the position of militia commander. The forges made armor and weapons galore. As the smiths dipped the steel into the magma for heating, it emerged glowing blue like new adamantine, but with the weight of steel. They dubbed the new metal Armoksteel. Dwarves were assigned their weapon of choice. The military suited up for battle.
Flame dispatched the newly risen military to surface and the adamantine mines. None too soon - dwarves whose corpses burned in demon flames could not be resurrected, and dwarves turned to voidspawn could not be turned back after death. She herself went with the crossbowdwarves to the depths to shoot flame demons.
Soldiers led by Microblighted and Flame ran down to the depths. The demons had made it is far as the cavern outpost before meeting the dwarves. They were barely injured by the brave civilians, who had merely delayed them. The demons charged, expecting to make short work of the beards.
Bolts flew and struck true, exploding many of the more incorporeal demons before they had even reached the dwarves. The demon charge was stopped in its tracks by a wall of Armoksteel and dwarven muscle. Demon and dwarven limbs flew and blood and goo flowed across the stone. But the demons were being pushed back. Every dwarf that fell rose again seconds later and rejoined the battle. The demons were powerful and terrifying, but there were only so many against the infinite onslaught of the dwarves. The demons were dead and beaten.
At the same time, more soldiers led by Anima rushed to the surface, where the voidspawn were just barely being held back by civilians aided by Prosnorkulus and a few other soldiers. A patriarch dueled him, pushing Prosnorkulus and the soldiers back while leaving the civilians vulnerable to attack by the soldiers. Several dwarves had already been turned and fought their comrades, eyes empty.
The new rush crashed into the voidspawn horde, pushing it back. Anima's axe and hammer joined Prosnokulus' sword. Heads shattered, limbs flew, taint flowed like rivers. The patriarch lost first one arm, then a leg, crashing down against the wall. It lost another arm, then its head. The last of the voidspawn thralls died. The day seemed won.

Guys, my laptop completely borked.* :| I'm recovering the files to an external hard-drive atm, but yea... When that happens, I'll submit the mod code for the reapers. I'm not gonna bother with the other things. I'll use them some other time. Question though, are we still waiting for DF2015?
*Translation: The main partition of my harddrive's filesystem is inconsistent - ie it failed some checksums and the boot sector (of that partition) is probably totally fried. My laptop can still be used for some things and likely as not I can nuke the partition and reinstall everything, which is what I'm'a do after I'm satisfied that I have recovered the core things that I need to get back. I'll have to figure out how to get around the bad sectors. Just to answer everyone's question: I am broke and about to be in escrow for who knows what else... ( school, girlfriend, food, random unwarranted taxation, etc. ) I have to keep slapping on the band-aids until the laptop just gets fed up with me and flies away.

And leading the army was a colossal patriarch, hundreds of feet tall, with a carapace that absorbed all light and eyes that glowed like fire.
"FLAME," the patriarch boomed, "SEND OUT ANIMARYTAK TO FACE ME IN COMBAT, LEADER VERSUS LEADER. IF HE WINS, I WILL MAKE YOUR END SWIFT! IF HE REFUSES, I WILL CRUSH THIS FORTRESS TO DUST!
Flame, having arrived at the surface by now, shouted back. The patriarch did not hear because he was miles away. The army marched closer.
Dwarves readied their weapons for battle. The crossbowdwarves retreated - bolts were useless against a foe that could break both legs and keep walking. The first wave came, all thralls, who clogged what traps were left before dying against the dwarves' blades. The second wave came, a mix of soldiers and more thralls, which died too. More and more voidspawn came, in an endless flood, dying and dying. The dwarves were bogged down amid the corpses and knee-high blood. Dwarves died and rose, but some were turned before dying and did not rise again. The dwarves were slowly pushed back into the fort.
The dwarves had the advantage inside the fort - the voidspawn had to stop and unclog the tunnel of corpses every so often. During one such break, Anima spoke to the rest of the dwarves. He had to shout over the noise of the voidspawn screaming rage though the wall of voidspawn bodies and the carapace crunch of the voidspawn eating their own dead.
The dwarves were exhausted. They had been fighting for days with no rest, food or drink. Their bodies regenerated after each death, but not their morale. The dwarves were all in various stages of rot from the voidspawns’ poison. As they stood waiting, one dwarf finally gave into the rot and collapsed, dead. She quickly stood back up, revived and fully regenerated.
"IF THIS KEEPS UP, WE'LL BE OVERWHELMED. WE'VE BARELY MADE A DENT AND WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR HOURS. THERE ISN'T ANYONE HERE WHO HASN'T DIED AT LEAST THREE TIMES, EVEN ME. SO LET'S TRY SOMETHING ELSE. LET'S OPEN UP AN OLD ENTRANCE AND TAKE A FEW DWARVES TO GO KILL THE HUGE GUY."
There was a general murmur of assent.
"OKAY, I'M GOING TO GO MYSELF OBVIOUSLY, I WANT NCOMMANDER, MICROBLIGHTED, THE MAD FOOL, PROSNORKULUS, AND SABER. WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT THE OLD BLOCKED-OFF DRAWBRIDGE ENTRANCE, THE CINNABAR AND RUTILE ONE. BALTHARAAZ, SANDIEGO, MR.STRANGE, GROMBARDRIM, SCALIPER, DERM, TRYRAR, YOU GUYS IN THE BACK, HOLD DOWN THE FORT WHILE WE GO. I'M GONNA SNAG A CIVILAN ON THE WAY THERE TO TAKE DOWN THE WALL. WE'LL TRY TO DO THIS SNEAKY UP UNTIL WE GET FOUND AND THEN WE MAKE A DEAD RUN FOR THE BIG GUY. LET'S GO!"
Anima and his crew filtered out of the crowd of militiadwarves and into the fortress proper. The first civilian he saw was none other than Baelor, carrying a pot of booze to the sober militia. Anima told him to drop it and come with him. With a miner, they could make their own exit. The group ascended to the soil layer and Baelor began digging. After a short while, the tunnel broke out behind the massive patriarch.
Post by: TheFlame52 on June 25, 2015, 01:37:58 pm
Anima was furious. Not much could get into his black heart, but this did. How dare this creature taunt him! “I CHALLENGE YOU TO SINGLE COMBAT! GOD AGAINST GOD! TERRY!”
“AH, YOU GUESSED CORRECTLY, VOIDGOD. I HAVE FOILED YOU AND YOUR ILK AT EVERY TURN. YOU GREW ENRAGED AT ME. YOU DEFEATED ME AS I DEFEATED YOU. BUT YOU COULD NEVER BEAT ME.”
“VERY WELL THEN. I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE!” Terry shouted as he swung one of his massive axes down at Anima. Anima blocked it with his own axe, the collision sending out a shockwave that knocked branches from trees and kicked up a cloud of dust. The voidspawn moved back to make room for their general to maneuver.
The last dwarves backed slowly down the tunnel. Most were civilians that had picked up weapons from burned militia or wrestled them away from voidspawn. All hosted void spirits. More void spirts floated invisibly around the dwarves.
The demons had come up behind them, slaughtering the defenders. No one knew where Armok had gone. The fort was lost. The dwarves were just fighting to survive. Outside the tunnel, voidspawn and demons fought over who would wipe out the last of the dwarves.
The hallway dead-ended. There was no way out. Zasit heard the demon pounding on the door. There would be no more flight. It was time to fight. Zasit loaded her crossbow and aimed at the door.
The demon burst through the door and ran head-on into an Armoksteel crossbow bolt. It roared in pain and charged.
Zasit reloaded her crossbow and fired a second bolt. She fell into the old rhythm. Load. Aim. Fire. Load. Aim. Fire. Load, aim, fire, load, aim, fire, load-aim-fire-load-aim-fire-loadaimfireloadaimfireloadaimfireloadaimfire
The demon ran, then walked, then crawled, then slithered. Its roars became weaker and weaker under the hailstorm of bolts. Zasit did not think about why her quiver had not run out, or why she had any bolts at all – she had run out ages ago. Finally, the demon burbled its last breath. Zasit lay back against the wall, exhausted.

x_xNope. My laptop's harddrive is completely* gone. Wheeeee. All my mods are gone so at least those won't be holding us up anymore. Also, if anybody knew/cared, my vacation mostly went well. ( For everyone's info tho, I did successfully recover a lot of my things to an external hard-drive, but then that broke too. I may try again, but I'll be saving the mods for something of my own if they're even among what could be salvaged from my laptop. )
Guys, my laptop completely borked.* :| I'm recovering the files to an external hard-drive atm, but yea... When that happens, I'll submit the mod code for the reapers. I'm not gonna bother with the other things. I'll use them some other time. Question though, are we still waiting for DF2015?
*Translation: The main partition of my harddrive's filesystem is inconsistent - ie it failed some checksums and the boot sector (of that partition) is probably totally fried. My laptop can still be used for some things and likely as not I can nuke the partition and reinstall everything, which is what I'm'a do after I'm satisfied that I have recovered the core things that I need to get back. I'll have to figure out how to get around the bad sectors. Just to answer everyone's question: I am broke and about to be in escrow for who knows what else... ( school, girlfriend, food, random unwarranted taxation, etc. ) I have to keep slapping on the band-aids until the laptop just gets fed up with me and flies away.
*I'm booting into a small Linux distro installed to a recovery partition. Main partition is dead.

You're going to be waiting a while.
Isn't there a sequel in the works, or am I wrong? last I checked there was.
