+1 and Grow an beard, like all the true dwarf ladys :PNo, no, she's cute without it.
But, having a fake beard would be useful to disguise herself as a male dwarf. Yes, we need a fake beard.
And go throw a party at the main dining hall, that's how the birthday is supposed to go!

As mentioned before, today is your birthday! Though you'd very much like to go down to the main dining hall and throw a party to celebrate your ascension into full adulthood, you currently cannot.

Ah, cheesemaking! It's such a noble profession! Turning otherwise useless milk into magnificent, golden, melt-on-your-tongue cheese is the most glorious and dwarvenly trade known to dwarf-kind! Some day, you tell yourself, you'll be the greatest cheesemaker in all the land, churning out masterwork cheeses for the fortresses and mountainhomes to eat, consumed with only the finest foods and drinks. No doubt the Queen herself will commission you to be her permanent Royal Cheesemaker, producing those magnificent wheels at her leisure. No fortress can ever have enough legendary cheesemakers, you always say!

Ah, ShieldDawn!
The most glorious of all the Dwarven Fortresses! Every dwarf loves their mountainhome, but it's the Fortresses that are the REAL pinnacles of dwarven culture, technology, and innovation. Some are home to impossible feats of engineering, like mountain-sized cathedrals carved out underground, or soaring towers that touch the sky, or even leviathan statues carved right into active, living volcanos!
None of them can compare to ShieldDawn, though. It's the resting place of Zon Lokumarak, the Hero of Mountains and his Artifact Spear, Shashmondul Vozbel Sedil, "Hellgraves, the Ravager of Angels", the most perfect of all dwarven artifacts. You've wanted to migrate to the fortress ever since he was entombed there seven years ago, to pay homage to the greatest dwarf ever known and to ply your trade as a cheesemaker.

There was...a Troll! Yeah! It broke into your room, and, and it was wrecking the door! It busted up everything! And so, you ESCAPED! You ran away from the Troll, the Troll in the dungeon, and, you came up to the depo to get away, yeah! So you decided to hide in the bin, from the Troll, in the dungeon, and you should get the guards to get it, and also, you need some giant spider silk and star rubies, for a reason that you can't explain, and...um...the mayor! Yeah, the mayor! He banned trousers from being exported! So you were just taking that bin on a 'store items' job to get the pants the migrants were wearing, yeah! Because, then they'd be exporting trousers! You can talk to the mayor if you want to dispute it, but...

Duke Mosus tells you that you can’t go to ShieldDawn.
(http://i.imgur.com/e0AMa3L.png) (http://i.imgur.com/e0AMa3L.png)
You tell him that’s not fair! You’re an ADULT! You’re TWELVE! If you want to go to ShieldDawn to become a Legendary Cheesemaker, then you should be ALLOWED go to ShieldDawn and become a Legendary Cheesemaker!
He tells you that no, you can’t go to ShieldDawn.
(http://i.imgur.com/VtP5oAT.png) (http://i.imgur.com/VtP5oAT.png)
He tells you that Misty, you’re growing up to be a beautiful, young adult. You’ve got your whole life ahead of you. Fortresses…Fortresses aren’t like the mountainhomes. Even Fortresses like ShieldDawn. Fortresses don’t care about the Dwarves who come there, unless they’re already Great Dwarves or one of The Seven. A young girl like you, unskilled, an aspiring cheesemaker…he just doesn’t want you to get hurt, Misty.
(http://i.imgur.com/xRkcmLD.png) (http://i.imgur.com/xRkcmLD.png)
Oh great, there he goes again. “Why don’t you become an armorsmith like me, Misty?” “Sure, Cheesemaking is a great profession, but why don’t you try being a Miner, Misty?” “I’m not sure there’s much of a demand for Cheesemaking, Misty.” What does he have against cheesemakers?! Cheesemaking is a GREAT DWARVEN PROFESSION! You’re going to be the GREATEST CHEESEMAKER EVER, and he nor anyone else can say otherwise!
(http://i.imgur.com/IqNMgES.png) (http://i.imgur.com/IqNMgES.png)
He tells you that he’s not going to throw you in jail, even though you’ve broken the law. As Duke, he’s decided to pardon you. However, you WILL stay in his office until he’s ready to talk to you. He says he’s not mad that you broke out of your room, but he is very disappointed that you lied to him. Dwarves do not lie, cheat, or steal from one another, Misty. We are better than that. YOU are better than that.
He says he just wants the best for you, Misty. He loves you, Misty.

He crafted much of the armor that preserved Dwarven lives during the great Elf-Dwarf war. He's produced so many masterwork armor pieces that he doesn't even get a bad thought whenever a piece gets lost or destroyed; he's simply glad that his craft was able to save lives. Many hailed him as a Smithing Hero; Nilning incarnate, the Dwarven God of Smithing and Patron God of the Eastern Mountainhome himself!

Oh, him? His name's not Urist McRandomGuard, it's Gruzzluss Holt. He's the Captain of the Guard, and quite possibly one of the oldest dwarves still living in the mountain homes.

It's okay, though, because no one can remember the last time the mountainhomes got attacked. It's so boring here that not even the ORCS want it.
The girl hopping around behind him is Reg Pashmad, the only recruit in the mountainhomes. Duke Mosus says she can't go on caravans as a guard because she's too essential to the security of the fortress to give up, although you suspect he was just saying that so he won't hurt her feelings.

In the meantime, he has work to do. The caravan season is only a couple of months away and they barely have enough to fulfill their end of the trade agreement!

Grabbing the sword would take, like, three seconds, it's right there. If we can't even afford to take some time to get a free weapon for protection then we've probably already lost the migrants. In that case we really would want the sword because who knows what we might run into on our own.

Grabbing the sword would take, like, three seconds, it's right there. If we can't even afford to take some time to get a free weapon for protection then we've probably already lost the migrants. In that case we really would want the sword because who knows what we might run into on our own.

Actually, they're pretty small in the raws if I remember correctly.
Oh well, you get the point. Anyways, Misty needs a weapon. Let's get that sword, unless you guys wanna find out if throwing is as hilariously overpowered in this as it is in Adventure mode...

Guys, we've already established that Misty's weapon of choice is her backpack. And as Headshoots proved, backpack>sword.
While the backpack would have been a mace, or at least a sap, with the brick,
I think we've well established that Misty is a cheesemaker not a fighter.
Cheese rounds being large and heavy and thick (especially the dwarven kind),
she might think to grab it as a cheese cutter, not really thinking of it as a sword.
Cue people thinking that she's a recruit just because she has her cheese cutter
hanging from her belt(?).

What cheesemaker would ever have use for a sword! It's probably so old it doesn't even still work. Forget the sword; grab a cow. Migrants are allowed to bring pets, and nothing's more useful to a fort than a large grazer that can't be butchered.Misty doesn't have anything to lead the cow with (assuming she could even find one), and it'd likely slow her down enough that she couldn't catch up with the migrants. That's the big thing here.
My vote is go find some influential migrants to talk to and try to get in their good graces... particularly one that owns a cow or is a cheesemaker.
also, the sword is too big. Seriously, it's taller than she is. It's likely part of some statue and wouldn't cut butter anyway - let alone cheese.
Case in point: Look back above the sword. There's a helmed dwarf's head, part of a statue, upside down against the wall. You can even see the beard. That's what it's part of.
re-edit: Actually, that sword is way too small to be part of that statue... still, given how it's wrapped about with vines, I stand by how I said it won't cut anything. =p
Guys, we've already established that Misty's weapon of choice is her backpack. And as Headshoots proved, backpack>sword.Unless you know martial dentistry like Fischer... which, Misty almost certainly doesn't.
Finally, that last image (with the ruins and grass) is made of win.

In westerns, the singing cowboy is the only way a posse gets from here to there in no time flat - those migrants probably don't have a singer yet - now's your chance! Of course, if the migrants DO already have a singing cowboy (maybe the expedition leader?), then the way a single person travels across Westerns is by silhouette in huge setting sun with heat-haze all around.

Also, carrying a sword that's larger than you are, with zero weapon skill, makes you pretty much useless in combat, and that sword looks far heavier than a suit of armor, not to mention it's not sharp. It'd be faster and safer it just to leave it where it is.

Incidentally, it's not a sword, but a dagger. ALL adventuring cheesemakers own daggers. It just looks like a sword because she's "small for a dwarf". The dagger will most likely be a multigrasp tool, but is a requirement for all adventuring cheesemakers nonetheless!

She could throw it at point blank range, followed by the cow. That tactic has helped many an historic adventurer in time honored tradition. Even better, she should weave a whip from grass stalks so that she can have whipped butter from the cow later on.We could use the cow's horns as an improvised weavery. The pointy piece of metal could pretend to be a needle.

Invert everything else everyone said: Dodge into waterfall, get swept off the end of the waterfall, then survive and struggle to swim to the shore. When you make it, you're downstream of the migrants and you can begin the migration phase of the story.We can only decide what misty does in each situation. We have no idea about any waterfalls if we can't see them. Or at least, I think that's how games like these work.

I don't think she has enough levels in Fighter to pull of such block.
And she'd be so ripped from the bonus strenght, we wouldn't recognize her.

Invert everything else everyone said: Dodge into waterfall, get swept off the end of the waterfall, then survive and struggle to swim to the shore. When you make it, you're downstream of the migrants and you can begin the migration phase of the story.We can only decide what misty does in each situation. We have no idea about any waterfalls if we can't see them. Or at least, I think that's how games like these work.
Unless OP says otherwise, of course.
True. Too bad. ( Or else, we could just have her keep dodging forward until eventually a waterfall would be there. XD jk )

Acquaint yourself with something that is hopefully soft and squishy enough to break your fall. Then if you can, take a look at your surroundings and try to find which way those migrants went!+1

In a true feat of superdwarvenly luck, you manage to parry the very earth itself! The ground is blocked, and you land unharmed, only to rake in the deliriously sicknasty amount of exp that can only come from fighting the world itself! You become LEGENDARY in every stat and attribute, leaving behind your mortal form to become SUPER MISTY! THE GREATEST CHEESEMAKER WHO EVER LIVED!

Misty's ego takes the full force of the impact, bruising the pride.
(http://i.imgur.com/sRg1rxI.png) (http://i.imgur.com/sRg1rxI.png)
Well, it doesn't look like anything's broken, at least. You can move your legs, your arms, and more importantly, you still have your midnight blue cap! Whew! You were worried it might have fallen off! Oh, and all your teeth are still there too. After a quick check, it seems that at most you've got a couple bruises here and there. Nothing serious, but you may be sore for a while. You fell quite a ways; you're pretty lucky you didn't get seriously hurt!
(http://i.imgur.com/ywbPd3u.png) (http://i.imgur.com/ywbPd3u.png)
Now that you're outside and all situated, you get ready for the inevitable puking that follows all cave-adapted dwarves. The bright light and fresh air will be too much; any second now, your bile will rise and you'll be rendered incapacitated by the outside world. You brace yourself, thinking about the horrible stories you've been told of dwarves who puke for hours on end, laid low and weak by the too-bright sun.
(http://i.imgur.com/NpI3D7e.png) (http://i.imgur.com/NpI3D7e.png)
...huh.
Looks like you weren't cave-adapted as you thought you were. You don't even feel nauseous! It's a little surprising, but you're not going to complain. Cat biscuits always taste worse coming up than they do going down.
Well, with that out of the way, it's time to get back to the matter at hand.

You give the surrounding countryside a quick look. From what you can remember, ShieldDawn is due north, bordering the Frozen Swamplands, Northern Mountain Range, the Great Forest, and the Old Tower. None of that surprised you. Like all Great Dwarven Fortresses, it has to be set down in one of the most dangerous places in the world.
All that's left is to catch up with the migrants and follow them to the Fortress, then it's smooth sailing from then on out. Nothing can stop you now!

Captain Holt continues to attempt to stop his rampaging recruit. Recruit Pashmad continues to attempt to murder the non-existent kobold.

Oh. There we go.

Dammit Reg, Holt says. Look around! Do you see any kobolds?!
No, says Reg. Did I get them?
Holt calmly explains that it was all a clever ruse, and that there never was a kobold. Reg postulates that perhaps there WAS a kobold, but her swordsdwarfship managed to scare it off.
This debate continues on for a few minutes before the captain concedes that no, there was no way for him to be SURE there wasn't a kobold skulking around somewhere, and it is POSSIBLE that she managed to drive it off despite no one having actually seen it.
Reg adds the kobold to her kill list.
Holt sighs and points out that they still have standing orders to bring Misty down to the Duke's office. Reg also points out that neither of them are permitted to leave the mountainhome (her especially, for security reasons). The Captain says that they'll just have go back to Duke Mosus and tell him they lost Misty.
Reg fearfully asks how Holt thinks the Duke will react.

Thankfully, Captain Holt manages to catch Reg before she goes tumbling off the cliff. How terrible would that be, he says, if she were to fall all the way down the mountain! Rather than take the tumble, they instead follow the switchbacks down the mountainside. If they hurry, they'll be able to catch Misty before she even makes it a fourth of the way down!
(http://i.imgur.com/oIyGOPR.png) (http://i.imgur.com/oIyGOPR.png)
Meanwhile, you hurry and catch up with the migrants, making sure to slow down right before you reach them. You don't want to scare the migrant party, after all!

Misty seems oblivious to her status, utterly convinced the world needs more cheese, and proud that she's going to be just the royally-appointed dwarfette (no beard) to do it.
So, if she's going to eliminate threats to her status, it will largely be by accident not intention, such as deconstructing the wall to an unforbidden room, getting by the distracted guards, and bumping down the hill.

Yes, of course. Misty wouldn't want to hurt anyone. But that plump helmet man does look rather tasty. A little bite wouldn't hurt much. I don't think Misty has eaten yet. Plump helmet men don't feel pain, right? Yes, they definitely don't. Probably. I bet they even like being eaten: Misty would be doing it a favor. And if Misty does eat it to death, then the greater need for cheesemakers will just be a bonus, and Misty wouldn't have done it on purpuse, she would never want to hurt anyone. It was an accident. And that plump helmet man was looking very tasty at that moment. It should've known someone would eat him if he made himself look that way. So, really, it was his fault. Misty is the real victim here. She should just forget about it and go about her way. And hey, there's one thing less standing in her way to becoming accepted as a cheesemaker, that's a happy coincedence.

The one with the hammer pushes his way to the front of the group and glares down at you. You two are passing acquaintances; you think his name is Rimtar Iridmedtob, one of the many weapon-smiths.
Because, you know, THAT'S what ShieldDawn needs.
ANOTHER legendary metalworker.
(http://i.imgur.com/pLKluqd.png) (http://i.imgur.com/pLKluqd.png)
Misty? What are you doing out here, he asks. I thought the Duke denied your request to join the migration.
He changed his mind, you lie. You tell him about how the two of you meticulously debated the issue, and how he graciously admitted that he may have been mistaken in forbidding you from going to ShieldDawn.
Rimtar eyes you warily for a moment, then grunts in apathy. If you want to join, he says, you're free to come along.
(http://i.imgur.com/m5M1lrO.png) (http://i.imgur.com/m5M1lrO.png)
He promptly turns around and continues leading the party along, and the others hastily follow. It takes you a moment to catch up, since they're moving at a blistering pace.
The rest of the party gives you sympathetic looks; they seem friendly enough, at least. It's a long trek to ShieldDawn, maybe a day or two, so you might as well make friends with those you can.
Who should you talk to? What should you talk about?

besides if the necromancer tower doesn't murder us then clearly some overseer knock some Vamp juice into the drinking well and every one caught the curse.

Ignoring the fact that EvictedSaint has only drawn beards on males thus far, the only unambiguously male migrant by your criteria is the smith.

Forgive me if I'm wrong and also for being slightly off-topic. Weren't togas originally strictly ceremonial clothes? And weren't they usually worn with/on top of gender non-ambiguous clothes?
Post by: Larix on April 09, 2014, 10:21:21 am
The toga was for a long time an exclusively-male garment reserved for roman citizens. During some times, it was also worn by women, and later on, citizenship became so common it was no longer a distinction. The pallium/palla might be a better fit for generic roman-time overclothes, but the toga's more widely known.
And of course, we don't know what the dwarven rules of toga wearing are. The engineer might be emulating the look of greek intellectuals by wearing a himation without visible underclothes (http://www.hellenicaworld.com/Greece/ImagesML/Fashion/Chimation.png). And why not? Dwarfs don't need multiple layers of clothing on the upper body to be happy.

If women get boobs and babies its only fair males get beards.

I mod the beards *off* of females. Cos beards and kilts are for men only. To women: You can steal pants and flannel shirts, but I'll beat your head in with a shovel if you try to wear a kilt. So know the difference between a kilt and a skirt. ( Since tone doesn't carry over the internet: I'm kidding about the shovel, but I'm dead serious about kilts being male exclusive. )
Also, I'm all for women wearing pants ( because they're one of the most sensible articles of clothing ever for anyone), but I'm a bit more upset about the loss of flannel shirts. There's an extreme scarcity of purely masculine outer clothing.

My gods... it makes perfect sense! Misty is a cutebold that was adopted by the Mayor, so that the rest of the fort looks at her as an "honorary dwarf", of course, she may not know that she's not supposed to look exactly like she does, because she has yet to experience anyone non-dwarf outside the mountainhome... she's been carefully coddled to keep her from the truth of her origins...

Though, if misty was really some sort of kobolt, would she really be stopped by a door?Possibly, since she doesn't know she's a kobold, but at the same time door-opening for kobolds is probably just genetic, so she could do it. Maybe she just doesn't KNOW she has that ability yet.

I would have guessed she was a human child over a Kobold just based on the fact that she is 12 and already as tall as the other adult migrants. Then again, maybe dwarves reach their maximum adult height at that age? The littlest cheesemaker, eh? hmm...

On subject of messed up family trees, if someone comes to get her, Misty could grab a random orphan and claim that (s)he's her bastard half sibling that the duke dumped in a migrant wave years ago.If she's part kobold this means either someone in the fort married a Kobold and they had a child(the Fire imp/dwarf Clause), or the Kobold Transformed into a dwarf and married into a healthy life(the Olon Toolpalace Cat/Dwarf/Adventurer Clause) both are super rare though Misty needs to have a female dwarf to at least look Dwarven so either her dad was a warrior kobold they kept due to murdering some Forgotten beast in their caves thus deemed a hero in their eyes(and became duke what I written before was when I didn't know the plot twist), OR Mother gave birth in dwarf form and Misty just has to deal with several Kobold holidays on top of Kobold Cousins and Maybe A Kobold Brother?(slightly more likely now knowing she was told she had no mother...) So she might be hiding Kobold ears under her hat.
Oh
(http://www.truimagz.com/host/fortcrush2/de/case-one-whats-under-the-hat-misty.png)
Oh yeah Kobolds could be civil in Masterworks and have an entire Fort mode faction towards them.
So with this knowledge her dad must have kept this a secret due to political reasons and not being screw out of Royalty because he sullied the Royal line with Kobolds.

split into 4 groups or Sects with their own Style of cheese craft.
Fat Makers use the oils from the fat of the milk to shame and split the milk into Cheese
Curd Makers push the Curd from the milk drying it in seconds to make Cheese
Whey Makers flow the residue from the milk brewing liquid cheese
Casein Makers mess with the Proteins in the milk causing it to take a form of floaty Cheese
There was Told state that one who could harness all 4 styles of cheesemaking thus becoming The Avaxtskyr.

You catch up to the plump helmet man.

Hey there! you say. Gosh, you're a plump helmet man? That's so amazing! You tell him that you'd never seen a plump helmet man up close before. They're usually locked away in the slaughter pens next to the butcher shop; the most you'd ever seen of a plump helmet man before was cooked into a particularly decadent roast!
The plump helmet man, in true plump helmet man fashion, doesn't speak.
(http://i.imgur.com/Vwuhn6J.png) (http://i.imgur.com/Vwuhn6J.png)
Gosh, so, you were thinking, you know, about how it's such a long trip from here to ShieldDawn. Really long! Maybe even a day and a half! It's really too long for a sweet, young, delicate dwarven maiden such as yourself to walk the whole way. Maybe, you know, you can get a ride? Like, maybe you can ride the plump helmet man like some sort of noble steed! Arrive to the Great Fortress in style, in true Cheesemaker fashion! You'll even give him a cool name, too! Super Plumpy Plumphelmetman! Gosh, isn't that a cool name!? So, what do you think? Can you get a ride?

Hey there! you say. So you're an engineer, huh?
Yeah! he says. He tells you his name is Cog Uristsodel, and that he's actually a machine operator; perhaps the most noble of the engineering professions. For without his expertise at operating a cork screw and steam engine, many fortresses would go without water, or even elaborate magma-based traps! For how could a water-based binary computer operate without the essential pump stack, or the power provided by the dangerous and unreliable steam engines? How would dwarfkind even do something as trivial as drain the oceans? And HOW, pray tell, would these pumps even get built without the careful, masterful knowledge that only comes from years and years of pump-stack operations?!
You agree that his profession is a noble one indeed.
(http://i.imgur.com/ST6sBdC.png) (http://i.imgur.com/ST6sBdC.png)
So, he asks, why are you going to ShieldDawn?
Well, you reply, you've always wanted to go to a Great Dwarven Fortress and ply your trade as a Cheesemaker! And ShieldDawn is about as Great of a Fortress as you can get! Soon everydwarf shall know the name of Misty Wheeldream, the greatest dwarven Cheesemaker who ever lived! It is at ShieldDawn, you say, that you shall make your mark upon the world and fulfill your dreams.
He says that's an admirable goal indeed.
You thank him and ask why he's going to ShieldDawn.
(http://i.imgur.com/hNjda1E.png) (http://i.imgur.com/hNjda1E.png)
Oh, he says. He's just going to visit his twin sister, Sesh Uristsodel.

Edit:
Let's try to get into Plumpy's head a little. Ask him if he's ever met a chicken, since chickens are also kept for food. Tell him that chickens don't make sense, since they don't give milk. Why would anyone keep an animal that doesn't give milk? Has anyone ever told him that? Unless chickens can be milked. Has he ever milked a chicken? He doesn't have a bucket, so he didn't. Maybe chicken eggs could be milked. Has anyone ever tried that? And if chicken eggs can be milked, you could do that to all eggs. I wonder if plump helmet men lay eggs. Plumpy should give Misty the next eggs he lays so she can try milking them.

The best cheesemaker who ever lived? That's a mighty tall order. One of my favourite dwarfs _is_ a "farmer", whose two legendary farming skills are milking and cheesemaking. And she built them from the "novice" ratings she started out at (part of the starting seven); she also became a legendary mechanic, but her cheesemaking skill is _much_ higher.
In that vein - keep chatting it up with the mechanic, mechanics and cheese go perfectly together. After all, cheese comes in wheels!

Not to mention all the fancy mechanisms that are (presumably) involved in the making of the finest and most technically difficult cheeses.

Well, there is of course no rule to Boatmurdered or SpearBreakers. In my own opinion, they are Multiversal and Causality-Persistent. In any universe in which there is Dwarf Fortress, there will eventually be, given time and magma, a group of such fortresses.
Because really, who wants to live in a universal plane of reality without good old BoatMurdered?

Just that now there's a case of that happening when an necromancer/warlock strolls by a fort. Also those Orks also can jump into a war blimp and fly around looking for towns to pillage kidnapping folks via Fulton balloons then there's also Gnomes who more in tune with nature than the elves and run around being half clockborgs. To sum up this ramble, there's LOADS of HFS in Masterworks Misty might stumble into to be the best Cheesemaker in the world.this is in the Meth mod universe... the talks of Orks, Nuns, and the golden chest in the ground seems to be the case.Wars?

Great work and artwork... that ms paint freedom grass, darkerdarks poster, the shy plump helmet man... Awesome! :)
And just to clear things up: Masterwork dwarves sometimes yell at elephants, about vengeance for boatmurdered, and in the caverns you might stumble upon the spawns of the holistic. Both realities are in the mod, although I do hope that Misty will never encounter either.
But there are Cheesemen in the game... vicious creatures that throw webs of sticky cheese that get people stuck and wheels of cheese hard enough to break bones.
Paint on, Master Saint. :)
Edit: This god damn plump helmet man. Now I want to write a little plump helmet men civ, or bribe DarkerDark to make a pic of him as mod mascot.

But there are Cheesemen in the game... vicious creatures that throw webs of sticky cheese that get people stuck and wheels of cheese hard enough to break bones....I think we just found the logical conclusion to the plot.
Misty, through all her trials, becomes a master of cheese. Hers is perhaps not the tastiest or most varied. It is but simple cheese, a simple pleasure. Yet with her heart, the cheese is loyal to her. It hears her, whispering her little cheesy-nothings of encouragement. It feels for her as she does for it, though the other dwarfs scoff at her efforts.
Cue..
The Invasion of the Cheesemen
Faced with a hoard of angry beings which seem to be within the possibility of overwhelming the guard, the fortress descends into near hysterics, cursing their fate...
...until a single cheesemaker steps over the quivering masses, alone, to face the single moment she was always destined for.

You decide it's best if you maybe scoot forward a bit and talk to the next person in line.
(http://i.imgur.com/16WOQ1F.gif) (http://i.imgur.com/16WOQ1F.gif)
You introduce yourself to the sweet old lady ahead of you. Hi, you say. I'm Misty Wheeldream.
Hello, young Misty, she says. She introduces herself as Kulet Risestaff, a nun of Armok.
(http://i.imgur.com/ASGpx5P.png) (http://i.imgur.com/ASGpx5P.png)
Obviously, you knew she was a nun by her shawl, but you admit that you don't actually know that much about the church itself. She says that's to be expected; the Church tends to keep it's ceremonies to itself.
She goes on, seemingly excited to talk more about her profession. Oh yes, obviously individual dwarves are permitted to choose their own gods of the pantheon for individual worship, and at their own level of dedication of course, but the Church is a bit different! While a blacksmith might worship Sarvesh, God of Furnaces, and a farmer might worship Lenod, Goddess of Bounty, those of the Church worship the Creator.
You nod along, as though you understand.
(http://i.imgur.com/0MAuTQR.png) (http://i.imgur.com/0MAuTQR.png)
You see, Misty, there's powers even greater than the Gods, powers even greater than reality itself! The humans believe in their own sect of vain human gods, and the orks and goblins believe in their bloody deities of wrath and war, and the heathen elves believe in a nonsensical "force", but it is we Dwarves, Misty, who TRULY understand the nature of the Divine!
You follow along uncomfortably, waiting a moment before cautiously asking.
What is the nature of the Divine?
Kulet simply smiles, her kind eyes twinkling with ancient knowledge passed down to her throughout the generations, ever since the world began.
(http://i.imgur.com/RZyzDqd.png) (http://i.imgur.com/RZyzDqd.png)
That, she says, is what the church worships.

We deserve it. We have to kill the gnome king and take the last relic of armok for ourselves. Only then will dwarves be the true kings of the mountains.
Or maybe the gnomes truly are the ones gifted by Armok. I dont know about you but I find that very reasonable but still refuse to beleive it.

The Gnomes may be holy, but heresy is most certainly not the foot with which you which to step towards a potential ally in cheese domination of the realm.

Gnome should be paranoid given how the Elves hate how well their animal friends treat gnomes, also no love for wood cause many Gnome lynch parties.

Deception and Drink - 4 (there may have been some small deceptions, but mostly people have been forthright. We've seen little or no drinking yet)
Fortresses and Conquest - 8 (Armourcraft and legendary fortresses are key to the setting)
Suicide and Reincarnation - 2 (This hasn't yet been a theme)
Wealth and Gems - 6 (the dwarves we have seen so far are not impoverished)
Children and Protection - 5 (Misty was not adequately protected from leaving, but she has a large degree of agency)
Knowledge and Rage - 9 - Misty was grounded for throwing a tantrum, her craft (cheesemaking) is a form of knowledge

Edit: Also, I vote for Babyshield (or maybe Childshield) as Goddess of Children and Protection. She should be depicted as a dwarven mother holding a baby in one hand and a spear in the other. On the surface, she appears to be protecting the child, but we all know better, don't we? She is said to be the protector of the dwarven warrior-mothers. Children killed by enemy soldiers while being used as shields are her most sacred sacrifice. (Alternative: she is said to protect children, and by extension, all those who are protecting a child, so her most faithful worshippers carry their children into battle in order to earn her favor. Whether or not this works is... debatable.)

The reason I drew the god of chidren as a man is because I think that motherly protectiom is a bit expected. Don't fathers protect children too? I also made him holding a plant to focus on the growth aspect of childcare.Maybe humans fathers protect their babys, but dwarven fathers use them to club kobolds to death.
Urist Mc BadDad hits the kobold with his +BabyClub+ tearing the skull trough the bone and tearing the brain!
The kobold has been struck down.
The baby club has been struck down.
Urist Mc BadDad has gone berserk!

Good, yes. Coincidentally, Necromancer Bob was the guy I had as the writer of the Divine Tragicomedy of the Plump Helmet Man so I guess it will be the same Bob. :) ( All the more evidence that Plumpy is the Avatar of the god of Suicide and Reincarnation. )+1For Fortresses and Conquest: BoatMurdered.Seconded. Funny, was actually thinking about just that when I saw that nice addition to the thread.
So, for gods, my votes:
Goddess of Deception and Drink: Cakewine
God of Fortresses and Conquest: Boatmurdered
Goddess of Wealth and Gems: Golddug
God of Children and Protection: Babyshield
Goddess of Knowledge and Rage: Bookfire
I think the god of Suicide and Reincarnation SHOULD be named Bob, but he should be Bob XXXVI, as this is his 306th incarnation.

Bob's kill list must be a monster.
No, his kill list has nothing on it. The attributed deaths though...the number is huge. He doesn't kill things. He bores them to death until they kill themselves. Everything about him is boring. His name. His mortal form. Even when he dies, it's boring.

Bob always changes form when he dies but he always has a mask. He is less the god of sadness, and more the god of change. Though suicide is one of the extreme means which he can grant you change, it is the most effective way to offer a new life. He is known for his foolish quotes on the nature of life and inspiring folly in writings of the necromancers. He is often dramatic and tends to exaggerate. It is said that with his change of form comes the change of seasons, while others think he only changes with the eras. The one thing they agree with is that he never stays the same.

and ponder real hard until doing so cause himself poking into his own Soul... and alter it. At first he picture immortality to be fate worst than death, after a couple eons of wonder around doing what ever he just got bored of it and felt it was just an offswitch that stored your essence into a room. Couple eons took Bob to finally reach godhood and cast aside his tower. He ended up with a following from left over companions and forts he started back when he was BOB_103. The other Gods wonder if the mask is a smiley face or a nose.

Why not make the deity of Fort and conquest a Mason given it's "the blocks that protects the walls and the stone that falls on invaders, it's the blocks that Fill the halls and the stone(statues) that lines them."

So...the gnomes get hats, you ask?
Oh, yes, Lokum replies. That ancient mystery has long since been unraveled, thanks to the wonders of Dwarven Science!
(http://i.imgur.com/PhpYZVs.gif) (http://i.imgur.com/PhpYZVs.gif)
You see, she explains, Armok is not an unkind God. The gnomes, though one with nature and engineering alike, are frail and brittle. Even the most shoddily made pig tail fiber sock dropped from above would easily crush their egg-shell like skulls. Arkmok, in his infinite and all-encompassing wisdom, bestowed unto the gnomes the secret of conical hats to protect their feeble heads from the things that would bring about their deaths, like socks or a light rain.
Granted, this gift does not mean that GNOMES are Armoks favorite children, not at all! Quite contrary, this simply shows that Armok loved us, the Dwarves, enough to make our skulls much firmer and well-made. Our kind was made with love and diligence, whilst the gnomes and humans and others were built around us to provide a backdrop for the glory of the Dwarven race! You see?!
This is why Dwarves are the only ones who worship Armok. Humans have their own pantheon of Gods (crafted in their own image, how vain!), the Orcs have a routine of bloody Ancestors (vile and disgusting, mind you!) and the Elves believe in a nonsensical "force". That doesn't even make sense! That's not even a God!
Dwarves, though we all may worship our individual Gods, all pay homage to the All Father, the First, the God of Blood.
Of course, you must already know this, having your own deity of worship and whatnot.
(http://i.imgur.com/frFeqiA.png) (http://i.imgur.com/frFeqiA.png)
Oh.
Um.
Um.
(https://i.imgur.com/ufeaaY0.png) (https://i.imgur.com/ufeaaY0.png)
You don't have any Gods of Worship, you admit.
(http://i.imgur.com/VDsGJJ6.png) (http://i.imgur.com/VDsGJJ6.png)
You've never selected your patron Gods, she exclaims?! Why didn't you say so! We can fix that right now.
There are seven Dwarven Gods for each Dwarven Civilization. We, of course, have the best Gods of the three Dwarven Civilizations in the land.
Wise Bookfire, the Goddess of Knowledge and Rage, who has bestowed insight and madness upon those who draw her eye or ire,
Enchanting Cakewine, the Goddess of Deception and Drink, who delights in leading wandering adventurers astray,
Stoic Sunshield, the God of Children and Protection, who blesses the children of his followers and shields those who bear his sigil,
Bloody Stonetusk, the God of Fortresses and Conquest, the bloodiest of the seven and patron of Shielddawn itself,
Glittering Golddug, the Goddess of Wealth and Gems, who guides the hand of miners in the dark tunnels and brings them to the riches below,
Inconstant Urist CCCVI, God of Suicide and Reincarnation, who takes his own life at the end of each year only to be born anew the next,
And Humble Cowsea, Goddess of Cheese and Cattle, who keeps milk from spoil and the beast of the field docile.
Enchanting Cakewine, the Goddess of Deception and Drink, who delights in leading wandering adventurers astray,
Stoic Sunshield, the God of Children and Protection, who blesses the children of his followers and shields those who bear his sigil,

And Humble Cowsea, Goddess of Cheese and Cattle, who keeps milk from spoil and the beast of the field docile.
Most Dwarves never take more than two of the seven as their patron, lest their worship be diluted to the point of inconsequence.

I agree. Of course Cowsea is the clear first choice, being goddess of cheese. Sunshield could also be helpful, given the...light tumble of earlier.

I think we should inquire the on the necessary worship rituals for each. We might have to sacrifice a lot of specific corpses if we want to make the most of our blessing and we should have a general idea of what to kill. If we have to give up any treasure for Golddug or drink a whole glass of plump helmet man for Cakewine, we have the right to know.

I like the idea of Sunshield better than Urist CCCVI, mostly because I don't see what use worshiping the god of suicide would be... I mean, we don't want Misty to kill herself, do we?
Only if this works like those other MSPaint-style adventures and she comes back even stronger with Cheese-based powers and wings. But not fairy wings like those pricks over at Homestuck, awesome angel wings to become Cowsea's demi-god friend.

So I feel perhaps the god of protection may be a useful ally among the available options.
Also, Sunshield is the god of children, and Misty seems to be an adolescent at perhaps best. Ergo, extra protection.

We are talking to a potential ally who is a nice elderly dwarf nun.
So...what exactly do you expect her reaction to be if a very young dwarf tells her that she worships the god of Cheese and the god of Suicide.

while this is dumb she didn't even talk about vampires in her creation of life, who all kinda are blessed by their gods of their following than those who didn't follow(drain all those who don't follow our teachings and what not.).
Clearly the second choice is a trick question the real answer is Armok best to worship the blood god and skip the middleman.
that said it is possible for someone to become a deity on their own, just need some extra chim powers.
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on May 20, 2014, 10:09:39 pm
Umm... Either Bob CCCVI or Bookfire is what we've narrowed it down to. It's so hard to decide. On the one hand, infinite lives, on the other, infinite knowledge. I think the second because it's slightly less of an existential horrorshow. ( Only slightly. And maybe not, depending on your point of view.)
Hey, why would she be taken back? It's a god among the pantheon, she's heard all about him and has probably talked with worshiper of him. There's no reason why she would be so shocked about it. It's like saying hey, you got Vanilla instead of chocolate? I can't believe a child your age would think of such a thing.

Suicide is the death of the self. Reincarnation is the recreation of the self.
It could mean literal death and rebirth as it could mean figurative. To reinvent yourself, you must lose your self. Every change brings about the end of the old. This isn't a god of stasis and static re-emergence, but change and reinvention.
Truly, what better is there for the wanting to make a new life for yourself?
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on May 21, 2014, 08:47:21 am
You guys are really narrow on your interpretations of suicide and reincarnation. This is religion/mysticism we're talking about, words are used more as philosophical ideals instead of literal meanings, or at the least both. Literal interpretations is horribly boring for this kind of stuff to boot.The philosophical cheese-wheel goes to Xanmyral. Prithee, wax poetic for thine countrymen once more.

...but as Misty is probably not a philosopher, my guess is that she would not voluntarily pick a god of suicide, nor deception, rage, nor any other unpleasant-sounding spheres.
I'd go for Sunshield. It sounds pleasant enough (and children=milk=cheese?), and I'm still hoping that at some point in the future she might run into a radical sect of worshipers who carry their children into battle as a form of worship and start to have internal conflict as a result.
Also, I think Plumpy should worship Cakewine.

This is just my 2 copper coins on BobBob well known for his earlier days of life by learning the secret of life and death not from some demon scribbles but wondering what's that second black void in the sky did,
Bob always changes form when he dies but he always has a mask. He is less the god of sadness, and more the god of change. Though suicide is one of the extreme means which he can grant you change, it is the most effective way to offer a new life. He is known for his foolish quotes on the nature of life and inspiring folly in writings of the necromancers. He is often dramatic and tends to exaggerate. It is said that with his change of form comes the change of seasons, while others think he only changes with the eras. The one thing they agree with is that he never stays the same.
and ponder real hard until doing so cause himself poking into his own Soul... and alter it. At first he picture immortality to be fate worst than death, after a couple eons of wonder around doing what ever he just got bored of it and felt it was just an offswitch that stored your essence into a room. Couple eons took Bob to finally reach godhood and cast aside his tower. He ended up with a following from left over companions and forts he started back when he was BOB_103. The other Gods wonder if the mask is a smiley face or a nose. (http://i.imgur.com/c9JpzGf.png) Bob lost a good 100 lives from Armok being not to please at someone surpassing Demi-godhood, and 20 from looking at Bookfire (http://i.imgur.com/dqXb2fT.png) Funny.

She is the foremost deity of the gnomes. One out of 25 gnomes is born prone to rage and is said to be blessed by her. She is also said to be the inspiration for all megaprojects that ultimately destroy the fortress they were built in.
Nobody knows what is under her hat. Some theories include an enormous bottle of tequila, the original Blood of Armok gemstone, a pet moleweasel that acts as her spy and messenger, and a machine that will end the world when activated.

When this fact suddenly popped up in her mind, as others would as well, the fate she knew she would be subjected to left her with no other choice but to tantrum. When she is calm, she prefers to impart knowledge of the destructive, such as magma and weaponry. She knows that for each life these things claim, there will be one less mortal to talk to her.
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on May 24, 2014, 07:53:44 pm
When Bookfire came to be, she first did not understand why she was to be a goddess of rage, but being one of knowledge, she quickly came to know: Mortals would forever want her to explain the obvious, such as the meaning of life and the laws of physics. Even should she deny this knowledge, still would these petty flies continue to ask, bother and annoy.Yup.

XD Yeah... I don't know why everyone takes me so seriously. It may not have been that funny, but it was still intended as a joke.
Sure would be nice to get some more story in this story...Well, we can fan-speculate, if that's what you mean. We don't need to rush evictedSaint's genius though.
I speculate that ShieldDawn is going to have a major plot twist waiting for Misty/us. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if ES threw the succubus in there for fun. ( I don't know if he will, he takes this thing rather seriously, and for that, I thank him. I like stories to have coherence. She could still be worked in semi-reasonably though.) That's about all I got. So far I've been wrong on most of my guesses about how the story's gonna go.

Also, I really think it'd be kinda neat to have succubus along, just so long as it's not like... a stereotypical one. Sort of an inversion of the whole "sex demon" thing for comedic effect. Similarly, we could play snuggle demons for a sudden burst of horror if they get added to Masterworks. ( Last time I'm gonna mention it, though. )

( Nah, lips are too small and the facial expression is wrong. Succubi only have two facial expressions: hungry and tired. Besides anyway, if 'tis a succubus it's mostly over-clothed and seems way too nice. (Succubi are only nice for thirty minutes at a time. Or whenever they're on vacation I guess. Spring break for succubi probably consists of going and living on an Amish reservation... I am so completely too tired to brain right now.) Still tho, you have a point. The wings are significant.

Well, obviously you would need Cowsea's blessing, if you're to truly become the greatest cheesemaker who ever lived. You don't know much about her, but you can further your knowledge of your patron later. Right now you need to start putting in that faith as early as possible! You mention as much to Lokum, who nods in understanding.
She asks you if Humble Cowsea, patron of the farmers, will be your only focus of worship. You say no, you think you'll seek the blessing of Urist CCCVI as well.
(http://i.imgur.com/OtfXfXN.png) (http://i.imgur.com/OtfXfXN.png)
Urist CCCVI, she asks?
Well, yeah, you reply! You're starting a new life at Shielddawn. A free life, out from under the thumb of your dumb old dad. It just seems fitting.
Lokum's eyes sparkle as you come to a decision. All that's left now is to declare your faith and pray to your new patrons, affirming them as your new Gods of worship. She seems absolutely delighted to have introduced a young dwarf to the Gods. She goes on about how she'd been a worshiper of Cakewine and Bookfire herself, before moving on to focus her faith upon Almighty Armok.
Go on, then, she says eagerly! Pray to your new Gods, declare your worship! No doubt Cowsea and Urist will be delighted to have another follower; they're some of the less popular Gods, after all.
(http://i.imgur.com/LlcGCIA.gif) (http://i.imgur.com/LlcGCIA.gif)
You nervously put your hands together and look up. That's where the Gods are, right? Up in the sky some place?
You flounder for a moment. You've never prayed before, what should you even say?

With both a good and bad* influence, we have a perfect/flawless morality system.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
It's not a good/evil axis, it's a cheese/change axis.
Misty has two main driving forces: to be a great cheesemaker, and to break away from the stagnation of her former life. Cowsea represents cheese, Urist represents change.

I feel like she could develop some sort of suicide-cheese dualistic morality system. Sort of nacho flavor blue-orange morality.MMmm... And I feel like that'd be a bit heavy-handed and morbid. Granted, this is the Dwarf Fortress multiverse, so it's going to get morbid eventually anyway, but let's try to keep it light-hearted for now... I just don't feel right about driving a cute, bright-eyed little thirteen year old to suicide.
Which brings up a pretty decent point, what the hell happens when she gets to ShieldDawn? There've been some murmurings but no solid theories.
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on June 09, 2014, 05:37:56 am
Don't get me wrong, there could be mores that aren't strictly to do with this sort of thing. For example, say a dwarf is in stuck under a rock or something. It could go like this...
Urist: "No, let him save himself. He has to go through the struggle to get stronger."
Cowsea: "Mooo... You should help him. He could be a valuable companion and it doesn't look like he can make it himself."
Or something like that... Not so much good and evil, both deities want what they think is good for both Misty and the other dwarf, but what they want is still in contrast and is probably how dwarves really think. ( But I'm just guessing. )
Post by: Ultimuh on June 09, 2014, 05:41:08 am
None of the Dwarven deities seem to be inherently evil, it's just a matter of perspective and different philosophies.

I recommend adding a "piety meter" which is a bar with Cowsea on one end and Urist on the other. Even though these two aren't mutually exclusive, it still would make for some fun competition between the two.
If we do this like mass effect Paragon/Renegade points, I'm all for it.
Extra brownies if the symbols get used and Misty asks what the symbols mean as a point of humor.

Ask the God's which of your companions you should sacrifice first while eying the nun in a cold and creepy manner. Then nudge her with an elbow and and tell her it was just a joke.Misty already knows the Gods hunger for the blood of all her companions.
i do believe the moment Misty enters the fortress Urist CCCCVI will give her a thought such a idea of such magnituden that she will be over come by it

You wait a moment for them to respond, but you don't hear anything in return. That makes sense; they probably want to hear what you have to say. Gods sure are busy, and you don't want to waste their time.
(http://i.imgur.com/F17fiFX.gif) (http://i.imgur.com/F17fiFX.gif)
Alright, so...I have no idea what to say. Um...hi?
Off to a good start so far, just need to actually...say something. You rack your brains for a moment, then decide to go with the basics.
Okay, so, my name is Mistêm Wheeldream. My dad is the Duke, but you probably...you guys probably know all this already.
Um, so, basically, I worship you guys now? So, Cowsea, I guess I'd like to become a great cheesemaker. That'd be nice. Not that I'm demanding anything! I just...you know. You're the cheese Goddess! If you can help with that, it'd be great.
Urist CCCVI, you're the God of suicide and reincarnation, which is pretty cool! I was hoping that, if it wasn't too much trouble, you could maybe give me some divine protection? I'm starting new, and before today I didn't even know much about the Gods, so this is all pretty scary, but if you can maybe help me out in some way, I'd be eternally grateful. If it's not too much trouble, that is.

You pause, wondering if there was anything else you should tack on before you end the prayer. You want to make a good impression, after all; you're talking to almighty, powerful deities that rule all of existence, and you didn't even know anything about them until ten minutes ago.

Throwing in 7 as well. I know nobody likes 7, after the accusations of cannibalism and gambling addiction and all, but he's still a good guy.
However, on to the protagonist...
Misty: Keep your prayers short and simple. Simply ask
Quote
"...for your guidance in my journey, and if you two ever desire for me to do something, let me know and I'll get right on it. After all, wishes go both ways. I've never had a wish granted before I think, but still, yeah that all and such. Anyways, so that's me, Misty, and that's you, gods. Hope you have a nice...whatever nice things gods can have."

Cowsea might like it. Or take it as some kind of slur against dairy cattle.
Post by: evictedSaint on June 27, 2014, 02:19:51 am
After thinking about it for a moment, you realize that your prayer has been pretty selfish so far. That's not the impression you want to give!
Oh! And, um, thank you, so much for being my patrons. I'll try not to need to much, but thank you for your...your guidance in my journey, and-and if you guys ever need something from me, you know, something that I could do for you guys in return, just let me know and I'll get right on it!
So, anyways, so that's about it, Mr. and Mrs. Gods. Thank you for your time, I hope I wasn't bothering you. I hope you have a nice...um. Nice whatever it is you guys have.
Yeah. So. Um. Amen on three? One, two, three, amen.
So, anyways, so that's about it, Mr. and Mrs. Gods. Thank you for your time, I hope I wasn't bothering you. I hope you have a nice...um. Nice whatever it is you guys have.

(http://i.imgur.com/QJiq7cw.gif) (http://i.imgur.com/QJiq7cw.gif)
You clap your hands, because you're not entirely sure how to end a prayer. You clap your hands together a few more times for good measure. You just talked to two Gods! Like, two actual, living, real Gods! How cool was that?!
(http://i.imgur.com/7ClAqvK.gif) (http://i.imgur.com/7ClAqvK.gif)
You wait a minute for the beam of light or angel or...whatever is supposed to come down from the sky. That's what happens when you pray, right? Something should happen, but it doesn't seem like anything...did. You ask Kulet if maybe you did something wrong.
(http://i.imgur.com/7CedClN.png) (http://i.imgur.com/7CedClN.png)
She says no, you did it perfectly. The clapping was a bit unusual, but that's just how you pray.
Oh, you say. You were expecting some kind of physical response. That's...kind of disappointing.
You've just made your first baby step into the Dwarven religion, she replies. What this ceremony really needs is to be anointed by the Allfather, Armok! A blood tribute is all that's needed to sanctify the new union between you and your patrons...

She laughs, flicking away a few droplets of blood. It hurts of course, she says, but you get used to it being a nun of Armok. Who knows, young Misty! Maybe one day you'll become a nun yourself, and join me in the worship of glorious, glorious Armok, the God of Blood! Oh, the river of thick, ichorous blood we will spill in the name of the Allfather! Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Glad misty saw it as Nun insane and Believing in gods is foolish nonsense that turns you into an immortal bloodthirsty maniac that never age but can never learn any new skills. Which is right since even though I did figure out how to talk to gods via taking empty historical vessels and filling them with gods ids, even then they don't do bumkis.
Until they pop up out of the blue to kidney punch misty.

The tower definitely warrants asking the others about it since the path ahead seems to lead near it and necromancers aren't known for being particularly friendly towards their neighbors.

Since this is meph's work she has a 20% chance of being captured by orks and sold into slavery, captured by succubi then converted then put into slavery, captured by warlocks then tortured into being a ghoul or sold into Drow slavery, captured by dwarves then sold into Slavery to the guys above who then sell her for cheap/converted then sell for cheap to the Drow, the last 20% is a fill in your own result.

Of course, necromancy is itself a bit of a misnomer as it is (it should just be divination from the dead) so you would probably prefer tyrourge or tyrokinesis.
Tyromancy sounds cool though.
Post by: greycat on July 01, 2014, 06:30:50 pm
Tyromancer. It is actually a real practice, though it just means divining from the coagulation of cheese.

The introduce themselves; his name is Neb, a beekeeper, his wife is Deler, a waxworker, and this here is their son, Rovod. It's always nice to meet another farmer - you're a cheesemaker, right? You were shouting about cheese back there, but he just wants to be sure.
You nod your head and say, yes, I am a cheesemaker!...well...you've never actually MADE a cheese wheel before, but you're enthusiastic to start!
Deler speaks up and says, well, it's wonderful that you're so excited to join the noble field of farm work! Rovod here says he wants to be a metal worker when he grows up, can you believe that? He has such a rich heritage of farming behind him and he'd rather hit things with a hammer! Can't be helped, she laughs. Sometimes you just have to let your kids choose their own paths.
You nod pensively and think about your dumb dad back at the mountainhome. You can agree with her on that.
Oh, you say, I was wondering, I'm a bit unfamiliar with the surrounding countryside. What was that ruin we just passed through? And do you think you can tell me about that weird tower up ahead?
Neb raises his eyebrows in surprise. You don't know, he says? That ruin dates back to the Elf-Dwarf war!
(http://i.imgur.com/RSdbRQ7.png) (http://i.imgur.com/RSdbRQ7.png)
Yep, it used to be an old fort that worked as a river crossing and as a checkpoint. Back then, the elves had actually managed to push us so far back that they'd taken the fort! It was a bloody battle, with their archers and Dyrads twisting nature itself to tear the thing down brick by brick. Damned elves; they won't hurt a tree, but they'll slaughter a dozen dwarves with one and gorge themselves silly on the poor souls.
(http://i.imgur.com/YpKup3l.png) (http://i.imgur.com/YpKup3l.png)
Now it's just a pile of rubble; too damaged to man, not important enough to repair. Each year it crumbles a bit more.
(http://i.imgur.com/Wj57WjT.png) (http://i.imgur.com/Wj57WjT.png)
As for the tower, well...we don't really like to talk about that. Tale is that a crazy necromancer lives up in that thing, doing ghastly and terrible things with the dead. Built his blasted tower right on top of an old tomb, where those who met Armok during the war were laid to rest. If you ask me, we should tear the thing down and put those bodies back in their coffins...but the Queen says she we shouldn't be makin' MORE dead just to save those who are ALREADY dead. She's got a point, I suppose, and it ain't like that loon is hurtin' anybody up in his crazy little tower. Don't mean I gotta like it, though.

Ask the family if they have known any great cheese makers during the years they've spent plying their crafts.
Ask the farmer if he knows anything about plump helmet men. Because there is one following you all the time, and you dont know if its harmless or not.
Both of these.

You know that mammary glands are part of the reproductive system, right? The one bit you acknowledged to be superfluous to the undead? ;)
it's possible that the nature of necromancy is such that it's easier to reboot all of the biological systems than just some of them, so logically a zombie cow would produce milk.

If my earlier thoughts about rebooting individual systems were correct, then all necromancers would just enchant suits of armor insteadNecromancy is learned by reading a slab engraved by a supernatural being which details the secrets of life and death. I don't know about you, but I haven't noticed any books detailing the secrets of granting motility to objects which never had it in the first place, nor in fact have I seen any magically mobile objects in the game that weren't previously animate in their own right. If you want to keep slinging around the word "logical," demonstrate how this scenario is any less so given the available data: life, like anvils, exists only by the will of Armok; and, much as one cannot create an anvil without an anvil, artificial animation can only be given to something that was already alive.

The fact that we do not know everything does not mean that we do not know anything.
Logic does not stop existing just because you're talking about a fictional world. I would explain why, but every time I try it turns into a ten page essay. The things you're talking about are part of the premise. The premise is the minimal set of things that must be assumed in order for the story to make sense. One illogical thing in the premise does not imply every illogical thing is possible. The existence of a man with the power to walk through walls does not imply that he'd forget his own middle name. Walking through walls is illogical, but it's part of the premise. Given the premise, it still doesn't make sense he'd forget his own middle name. Thus, it is illogical, even given the premise. I'm going to stop myself there.

Have you considered that DF biological systems aren't actually what moves creatures around? From what I've observed, the head and sometimes the blood of a being is what actually separates them from inanimate objects. Mobility=life. Ergo, Animation="Anima" (AKA: Lifeforce, AKA mobility). A necromancer, then, merely has learned the secret techniques to "animate" certain pre-living things, including him/her/itself. Consider the blood to be a type of battery and the head to be the "antenna" for receiving Anima. Necromancers are limited to these things that once were animated already, however, but other types of magic-weilders can create mobile weapons by infusing them with Anima, even though they never were originally intended to have mobility in the first place. I would think that necromancy is the lowest level of magic, with the animation of weapons and armor being more difficult, and the creation of living robots (golems) more difficult still.
See the issue with this is it does not explain reanimated severed limbs / shells / hair.

You decide to change the subject. You ask Neb if he knew any great cheesemakers during his time; surely the mountainhome has produced other cheesemakers of amazing caliber, right?
Well, he says, he hasn't really met a cheesemaker before! Not many dwarves choose that as their profession; then again, he's pretty young. He's only forty years old! If anyone's been around long enough to know any cheesemakers, it'd probably be Rimtar up there.

Rimtar's been smithing weapons for nearly a hundred and fifty years now. He's been around for so long that he probably knew a cheesemaker or two in his time.

Before anyone objects on the grounds that undead in the tower would murder the child on sight, in 0.40.01, it appears that undead raised by necromancers share their masters' allegiances rather than being opposed to life in general, so it works.

No, he's right. Look at the tower for a few pictures, there's a white dot.
Edit: Nevermind - the things over the hill is what he meant.

I think those are actually ruins. Here's another theory though: the object falling out of the tower's window seems to be a bit off-white, almost yellowish. Could it perhaps be a roll of cheese?

Alright, so, next update is ready to be posted, along with the general outline of the next two, but my internet is out atm and its super hard to update from my phone. As soon as that gets fixed, Misty's adventure will continue.Hello!
Damn, I really wish you could host images on bay12...
P.S. hello to all the new readers and to all the first time posters!!!

I just realized that Misty hasn't had a single drink since this narrative started! It has only been a day in real-time so far, I suppose. Well, when she finally reaches ShieldDawn, can't wait to see her first party.

They're Kilourists. Not DUMs. We measure everything in Urists. Temperature, weight, distance, what have you.
Conversion:
11.29 DUMs = 4.95 Kilourists
There!
My apologizes for the utilization of a massively antiquated system, my olde bones simply steer me wrong at times.
Well, now indeed the measurement is so wonderfully clear and meaningful to all parties involved, no longer arcane!
I'm glad for the sake of forumkind that this matter has been dealt with promptly, and thank you profusely for your sage advice.
Now in order to not be taken as offensively sarcastic but merely sarcastic in a goode-spirited sort of way, I shall include the addendum of a 'smile-y face'.

I missed the exciting (and no doubt intellectually stimulating) debate over units of measure, so I'm still trying to pick things up. Are we talking distances on a fortress-scale map? Adventurer scale travel map? I presume it wasn't one of them fancy-shmancy zoomed-halfway adventurer travel maps, as those were a more recent creation.

You can choose to use burrows in creative fashion, combining them with drop-traps, to break the spirits of all migrants and children via exposure to death and decay, leaving them as hollow slaves; I like to think that the part where they don't care any more is about when they begin to rate deaths by gruesomeness.
'That's a 9-8-10 for Urist McMigrant's death, due to that wonderful quadruple-amputation on impact but holding back with that 8 because the head is still attached to the body!'
Or, you can create an idealistic commune where all dwarfs may do all jobs, happiness is imparted en masse by grand rooms, every dwarf family has a multi-room abode, death is unheard of apart from naturally, and the use of the subsequent hordes of miners and masons permits the creation of grand megaprojects.
I have done this many a time, to surprising success; so long as you disable fishing for all, as that shit takes up everyone and nothing gets done.

Now, though, Toady has implemented an all-new way to kill your dwarves! The usage of time!
Note- Time may or may not be wibbly or wobbly. If time wibbles or wobbles for more than 8 hours, please see your Doctor.
Also yes. Battle-axes are natural deaths. They must be, your honor, for there could be no other way that the battle-axe flew across the Barron's chamber and struck him in the head. Perhaps it was the will of the gods sir, given his near-constant requests to construct solid-gold mini-forges. Armok does not care for such silliness, after all.

we could also have misty run ahead and lead the undead off the road..... XD

Post by: Alev on July 29, 2014, 08:56:44 pm
Everyone should step off the road and walk around the undead, maintaining the current distance (radius). If they notice us, we will be on higher ground. The undead may have more difficulty on roughish terrain as well. The higher vantage point will also allow us to see further along the road in case this isn't just an isolated case.Saunds gud.

Nonono. You misunderstand size in the raws. Its cubic. Its volume, not height. Dwarves are short, but stocky. Elves are tall, but thin. Thats why they have the same volume. It rougly translates into weight as well, which puts both at around 60kg. But please, dont change the picture because something minor like that.Yet elven armor is perfectly sized for dwarves... Size is a funny thing in DF.

Considering how close we are to a Necromancer tower, the fact that these zombies seem to be paving a road, and the possibility that the Necro may actually be a pretty cool guy, it's reasonable to guess that the zombies are non-aggressive. Obviously we still need to walk with caution, but rushing in aggressively could set the zombies on us in self-defense, getting us in a fight we didn't need to have.

You decide to shut up and let Rimtar make the decisions.
(http://i.imgur.com/BdVL6Ky.png) (http://i.imgur.com/BdVL6Ky.png)
Okay, Rimtar says. Here's the situation.
We've got a couple of undead up ahead buildin' some kinda nefarious road. Now, obviously they're up to no good, being undead and all, so there's no telling what sorts of evil that road is. It could be so that crazy Necromancer up in his tower can march his undead armies all over the place! It could be a trap! It could even be an evil road, with some sort of crazy necro-killing powers!
Obviously we have to get through, an' I doubt very much that those filthy maggot heads are just gonna let us waltz on by. So here's what's gonna happen. I'm gonna go over there an' put those unholy hell critters back in the ground, an' once I've rekilled'em all single handedly we'll continue on to Shielddawn.
(http://i.imgur.com/ruesiJU.png) (http://i.imgur.com/ruesiJU.png)
You almost speak up and offer up some alternatives. You could just go around the undead. You could use Plumpy as bait. You could even check to see if they're not zombies, but actually a multicultural road construction crew that'd been in a terrible accident.
You almost mention all of this, but hold your tongue. Rimtar's the leader, and obviously he knows best. He's the one with the hammer, after all.
Rimtar hefts his mighty smithing hammer and boldly strolls on up to the zombie construction crew. The rest of the migrant party watches on with bated breath, equal parts apprehensive and excited.

Huh. Woulda thought Rimtar would have had more sense than that.
So, guess we learned from now on to always point out our alternatives and to talk people out of fights they can't or likely won't win. Preemptively.

A bunch of zombies just tossed a head in our direction. Should we really take the time to pray?Yes. They could be religious zombies, and think, "Oh, they're religious people. That means we shouldn't attack them, as they are just innocent dwarven travelers." Not that dwarves are innocent, but you get the picture.

but since this is meph works that necromancer might be a warlock and they tend to have more spells than just reanimation for starters.
Any one in the party could turn into a werebeast, horribly transform into the undead in a instant, die from ebola, go insane and start killing each other, blow up, blow up and cause anyone near them to blow up, scuttle.
or worst horribly be captured then enslaved.
Post by: greycat on August 08, 2014, 03:10:14 pm
If Rimtar was the leader, and he's dead, then maybe Misty is the new leader. I think we're being urged to take a more proactive stance in any case.
TELL the rest of the party, "Let's go around the zombies. They'll be too busy making their road to bother with us." Then start walking around them, expecting everyone to follow our lead.

>Ask Rimtar Iridmedtob if he can make a cheese-cutter for you when you get to ShieldDawn. I mean, you ARE going to need one, right? And you should give the honor of making your cheese-cutter (who wouldn't be honored by making one for a soon-to-be Legendary Cheesemaker?) to someone you know, especially since he said you could come along! And surely a cheese-cutter isn't that much different than a weapon! Well, some of them aren't. On second thought maybe we need a metalcrafter... But it never hurts to ask!
Also, Rimtar is the only one from the mountainhomes Misty knew, yes?
Guess it kinda sucks that the first death she witnessed was of the only one she knew.
And isn't even that far from her home.

Lead the party around the zombies, giving them a safe berth. If they're already moving aggressively towards us, pull back; if they continue pursuit, split the party into groups to take separate routes and meet up again past the zombies.
Or do this:
Kick head back, invent soccer/football.
Post by: Lyeos on August 08, 2014, 07:47:52 pm
Misty, have actually just been considering what might happen if you didn't speak up.
In reality, stop Rimtar before he goes on and point out to him that each of those zombies has some form of weapon, and they severely outnumber him. Refuse to allow him to do it, and instead propose sneaking around them, in order to alert a sizable force later on to take down the tower once and for all.
Yes, I am joking.

You shield your eyes as you get close. You don't want to see what happened to Rimtar or else you might...get another bout of cave adaption. You'll be fine. You'll be totally fine. Everything is fine.

Doubt they'll care as long as we don't try to give it to them.
Even if they do, we got it from the zombies.
We can pass it off as having taken them because we wanted to ask the elves what should be done with them. Or point out that the elf has a WOODEN bow.

Being a 12 year old, I presume we cant carry every weapon ourselves. The hammer is priority, and I dont think we have the stomach to check the pockets of all the bodies. Maybe the nun will?
Also note some weapons are in a state of disrepair.
Post by: Lyeos on August 22, 2014, 05:02:13 pm
Words.... Which is exactly why I suggested having almost everyone in the group take a weapon? So we wouldn't be trying to take all of them on our own?
And so what if they're in disrepair? I'd take a mildly broken axe over nothing. And avoiding the elves is cool - take the weapons, though.

[ATTACK:EDGE:2:1000:stab:stabs:NO_SUB:1000]Thus even MORE effective weapons.
Maybe if we tell the elves that we tried to tell the zombies not to kill that tree that, just ,just they would'nt listen and its just, just so great that the elves came by and rescued us..
Because we are on our way to ShieldDawn to enlighten them as to the divine nature of the arboreal form...

But I had to think of a ballista, or at the very least a javeline thrower when I saw that arrow going through 3 units, a tree and had space to spare. Elves might have greatbows in the mod, but their singing arrows are supposed to be normal sized. But artistic freedom can if course make them pierce a tree...

Besides elves are allowed to fell trees (or perhaps they do mercy killings on sick and dying trees or even the trees sacrifice themselves willingly for the good of the retreat!), their caravans are full of wood 8).

I'm pretty sure the accepted "canon" as proclaimed by the Toad is that elves grow all their wooden items (logs included, I suppose) from the tree itself via magic. So maybe the magical arrow will just continue to grow from the tree, like a reattached amputated branch.
Upon closer inspection, these elves are also wearing what appears to be bits of leather armor (a big taboo in elven cultures) and metal necklaces. We could be dealing with a sect of humanized elves.

Oh my goodness! the female elf exclaims. We're so sorry, if only we'd gotten here sooner! So much pain, so much death that could have been easily avoided...it just makes my heart ache to think of what careless evil we'd inadvertently brought into the world. May the Force bless and show us the Way.
You and the rest of the dwarves shift around uneasily. You have to admit, it was oddly touching that an elf would extend their condolences to the death of a dwarf.
Yes! the elf with the bow replies. If only we had arrived sooner, I would have had a clear shot. Truly the world weeps for the pain I've brought upon this gentle, innocent tree.

The elves walk past Rimtar's fresh corpse and start praying around the tree. The migrants look on with incredulity at the elves blatant rudeness.
Two of the elves continue to pray, while one produces a pouch of emerald-green dye. The female elf hums while she draws spirals on the tree.

Look into that face, and tell me that is not the face of this Elven trade parties true ruler, the pack mule. With out him he knows that these 'traders' would not even be able to generate from their home civilization.
His people are in fact the true rulers of the Elven nation spreading their brethren in "cages" only to "pasture them" in our homes the very workings of their minds taxing the fabric of our world and leading to ending of our world?

$5 says the necromancer has a thing for paved roads, maybe elegance to some extent?
... which means...
The necromancer is either:
A: A homosexual male.
B: Eccentric beyond belief.
C: A dwarf.
D: Emo Dumbledore.
E: Short emo Dumbledore.
....
Anyhow, as for things go for Misty...
TAKE THE SWORD!!!!!! (and keep it, even if you have to carry it on your back and won't use it. At the very least that sword is probably worth something to sell or barter with! Or use it for decoration on a weapon rack. Or cut cheese with it. Or post multiple discs of cheese together with it. Or slice cheese with it. Or mix cheese with it. Or feed cheese to a monster with it. So many uses for swords. Including those which involve cheese.)

Look again and that picture and see him for what he is,.. standing there ominously behind his underlings?Even now he stands imperiously on the road, letting his minions tend to the slain. Well, probably just injured, but everyone knows a tree being injured is at least as bad as a talented dwarven smith being ripped asunder.
Looks like the elf's also killed some zombie's (Probably another road crew) Look at the ground around where they start those three red things. Also the road seems to be getting paved in three directions look up at the top of the image so could that mean there's another zombie road crew around? That also mean the paving was started really close by. And leaves the question as to why is was started at the intersection?I don't think there's a third road crew, because we can see the northern/upper part of the road and its dirt, and the other two crews were right on their paving. It's also very short, suggesting that may have been the start point or only fleshed out enough to cover the intersection properly.
As for why, probably explicitly because it's an intersection. We know it's near a necromancer's tower and seems to lead to at least the Mountainhomes, a famous fortress, and elves, so that seems like a good start if you've got a reason to pave roads in the first place.
Still a little sunk on just what that reason could be, of course. I naturally maintain that the necromancer is hoping to improve relations between his gentle and noble people and those of other races via improved trade conduits, but who knows.

This is a good idea, in itself. Elves value respect and honor, and even if they are racist tree-hugging cannibals they are racist tree-hugging cannibals with really scary poky shooty weapons and zombie-kebab accuracy, so Good-side=Good-idea.
Don't ask to tag along just yet though, it might seem presumptuous. Just give them some light praise and try to keep everyone from bursting out with racist comments.

This is me just guessing here but why have names if we are never going to talk to them? So does this mean we will be seeing these zombie's again sometime in the future.
They're zombies. If we're still operating under pre 2014 rules, the necromancer can just bring them back later. And if not, the zombies are probably still squirming around. It was just a puncture wound after all.

I'm gonna have to go back and fix that. As a matter of fact, looking back I see a ton of little mistakes littering the story.

This story is operating in some unspecified version of Masterwork (probably 5.x). So the undead have hit points, don't need pulping, etc.
Masterwork also has reduced ranged weapon deadliness, compared to the vanilla 0.34.11 it's based on. That's probably why the tree is still relatively OK. ;)
I can't remember whether Masterwork changed the frequency of milking animals. I think it might have. That's something Misty will care about.

While the story is set in the MW universe, please remember that the story isn't about the MW Mod and exploring every detail about it. It's about Misty and her dream of becoming the greatest cheesemaker who ever lived.good thing to keep in mind, it doesn't help to have knowledge of the stuff in masterworks to help others who haven't played it and end up seeing a stone golem dwarf. but it's not like misty going to have to roll for milk checks.

I've updated the title page to include an actual title (a humble little thing) and all the page links, which should make it a bit more newbie-friendly. You should take advantage of my ten minutes of work to reread TLCM! I plan to include a fanart section, but that's on the backburner for the moment. Of course, if someone were to be as kind as to collect all the links to fanart posts in one place, I'd be able to plug it in right away, but at the moment I still need to trawl through 96 pages and scoop out all of the (totally awesome and talented) fanart that you guys have been kind enough to bless this story with.
In other news, school has started back up! As always, school comes first, but I promise to make time for TLCM. I wanna close this chapter by the end of the month (September).
That's all for now. I should update this weekend, unless something comes up.

Well, since we can guess the answer is "we're going to trade," why not follow that with offers to trade? Seriously, did anyone think to bring booze for our journey? Trade for booze.

Nah, they probably got into a whole mess of misadventures on their own. Probably got sidetracked chasing after imaginary kobolds.I wonder what happened with the 2 guards. They rushed after the settlers... and while Misty got ahead by falling down the hill, a running group of guards should catch a slowly walking group of migrants, which stop to pray, which stop for zombies and stop to talk with elves.Reg and Holt died a very horrible Reader Driven Narrative style death.

Reg and Holt catch up with migrants - and seeing them with elves, Reg immediately charges into atack. Why would any dwarf talk with an elf without being held capitve or something similar, right? Holt tries to stop her, as he knows better, and hilarity ensues.
Actually, these tree-huggers look like a good company. Let's not let them die for at least the next part of the story. :)

Suggest a proper burial for your late smithy friend.Ooh, as a bonus, suggest to the elves that his remains could quite possibly help nourish the tree. Maybe we could get the elves to help out... manipulative as that may be.Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I don't think our friend of a priestess would like the idea, of a Dwarf being buried next to a tree.
I don't think she cares overly much about what happens to the flesh, once the blood's all been drained out. But, maybe I shouldn't try to guess what she's thinking. She's pretty far out there.

Look at the Puzzlebox in our backpack, check to see if it has broken.
Trade good! Trade good right there! It's not going to serve much good at ShieldDawn (it's "imported," after all, so won't even add to wealth) and conceivably could save some hides right now. I repeat, let's get that trading going on (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=136384.msg5626670#msg5626670).
. . . Yeah, I'm outvoted by now. Let's just hope that "talking to elves about cheese" helps snap us out of emotional trauma.

I think it's more about principle.
Rather to have a dead Dwarf left unburied than to let the corpse have anything to do with elven traditions.

It's likely they're lagging behind by a fair amount.

He's an elf. You don't care if he has long, golden locks, or how strong his arms are to pull such a mighty bow, or how he saved your life in such a heroic manner. You don't care about his good looks, or his chiseled muscles. And seriously, who would care about how he so effortlessly struck down evil, or is so at peace with nature? His long, delicate, exotic ears. His beautiful, green eyes. His smooth, unblemished skin.
(http://i.imgur.com/pTKnW5b.png) (http://i.imgur.com/pTKnW5b.png)
He's just an elf, and that makes him gross and ugly. What sort of dwarf would you be if you found an elf attractive? They're all-what was it Kulet said about elves? Oh! Right, they're all just a bunch of "tree huggers." Honestly, you're a little upset the subject was even brought up.
(http://i.imgur.com/V7q18fW.png) (http://i.imgur.com/V7q18fW.png)
"You're all welcome to travel with us to Shielddawn," the tree-hugger says. "If we meet some other threat, Hemlock and I will no doubt be able to keep you all safe."
The nerve! As though you proud, noble Dwarves needed an elf's protection. The very thought makes you want to punch him right in his stupid, beautiful face. Still, the threat of the zombie menace looms behind you, and you're both going in the same direction...
After a quick, mumbled discussion between the remaining dwarves, you all agree to travel with the elves, ONLY because you happen to be going in the same direction. That's all.
(http://i.imgur.com/Bsq4Wa7.png) (http://i.imgur.com/Bsq4Wa7.png)
With your new traveling companions freshly added to the group, your party continues on to Shielddawn. Your destiny awaits!
By a totally random crazy happenstance, you just so happen to end up walking next to Darkerdaffodil. Jeez, might as well strike up a conversation, even if he IS a dumb gross elf.
"So um...you wouldn't happen to like cheese, would you?"

"Well, maybe if you knew where you were going, we wouldn't have spent the last couple hours wandering through the woods," Reg replies, propping her helmet open with one hand.
"ME?" Captain Holt snorts. "Lass, YOU were the one who ran off the path chasing a kobold! There wasn't even a kobold! You just ran off into the woods swinging your blasted sword again!"
"There was TOO a kobold," Reg shoots back. "It was just invisible. You know how kobolds do that! So excuse me for trying to make the world a little safer by striking one more of those dirty lizard-dogs from the face of the planet, Captain! Maybe next time you get us lost in the woods I won't have to add another kobold to my kill list."
(http://i.imgur.com/ocQ4CIy.png) (http://i.imgur.com/ocQ4CIy.png)
"Oh, here we go again," Captain Holt groans, rolling his eyes.
Not to be outdone, Reg rolls her eyes even harder. "Look, I didn't go that far into the woods. You were the one who got turned around and led us even further in!"
"No," Holt replies, "I meant the invisible kobolds. That's not a thing. It's never been a thing. Kobolds can't turn invisible. Kobolds have never been able to turn invisible."
"You don't know that," Reg shoots back. "Have you ever even seen an invisible kobold?"
"No," Holt says, "because they don't-"
"They do too! Kobolds could have perfected some sort of invisibility cloaking device techno-magic thing, and then they'd be able to stalk around all they want! You don't know. It could happen, just think about it. Kobolds, invisible, nefarious, doing nefarious invisible kobold things. Invisible."
(http://i.imgur.com/YktyCDD.png) (http://i.imgur.com/YktyCDD.png)

IDK about Masterwork, but vanilla elves seem to have no problem with meat and animal products. They're probably reverse-vegetarians.
I think that elvish morals operate on the basic assumption that all life has an equal right to live. They don't have a problem with anyone eating anything, plants, animals, or sapients, because most animals aren't picky about eating whatever they want, or killing in self-defense, and you have just as much a right to live and eat as they do. It's killing trees they don't like, because you're killing a living thing that could not harm you and you can't eat it - a senseless act of murder from the elfy 'all life is equal' philosophy.

Well, only Toady knows for sure. But my opinion is that elves have a "special" relationship with trees, kind of like the aliens in Orson Scott Card's novel "Speaker for the Dead" (for spoilers, see this wikipedia summary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speaker_for_the_Dead#The_Pequeninos)). Probably not exactly that relationship, but something similar enough that they hold the trees in special regard.
This elven regard or reverence for trees does not extend to any other plant or animal species as far as I can tell. But it seems to encompass every tree species, even the "evil" ones.
Toady's canon gives elves the ability to "grow" objects from a living tree. Things like bracelets and musical instruments are somehow (magically?) extracted from the tree (possibly like a fruit?), and used as trade goods. This is about all we know for sure.

It doesn't look like he went too far, at least.
"You alright...Captain?" You say, still wary. Just because he didn't turn invisible doesn't dismiss the fact that he could still be a kobold in disguise.
"For the love of...I twisted the ever-loving carp out of my ankle," Holt hisses. It certainly looks painful, and you discount the 'Holt is a kobold' theory. Kobolds don't have ankles; just that weird dog-leg thing. That leaves just five other 'kobolds did it' theories.
"I got it figured out, Captain!" You press on. "I bet the kobolds knew we were coming, so they dug this hole to trap us! You know how they dig in the dirt, right Captain? Well, what I'm thinking is-"
(http://i.imgur.com/Jh94eXs.png) (http://i.imgur.com/Jh94eXs.png)
"Reg!" Captain Holt whispers furiously, cutting you off. "Keep your voice down! For the love of Sunshield, if there was ever a time I needed you to focus, it would be now! I need you to get out of here!"
"But...what about you Captain? I can't just leave you here with the kobolds." You glance about, half-expecting one to leap from the walls.
"REG." He pauses to grit his teeth, though whether from frustration or pain you don't now. "Don't worry about me. I just need a minute then I'll climb on up out of this gods-forsaken hole right behind you. Now go!"
You hesitate. You can't just...you can't just abandon your Captain like that. That's about the most undwarvenly thing a dwarf could do!
"Come on, Captain! You know I can't-"
"REG, I am NOT going to ARGUE with you on this, I gave you a direct order-"

Does anyone else want Reg to turn out to be a amazing fighter?
Oh yes. She probably trains constantly so that she will always be prepared to fight the kobold menace, so she should be at least a grand master swordsdwarf by now.

A demon created from a recently deceased corpse. It takes the form of a mouthless humanoid with large blades on the end of its fingers. It's featureless face only contains two buring red eyes. Its skin is dark crimson, and its claws are metallic gray.can't be a brawler since those have bad dental care and teeth shine a bad yellow sheen.then again it could just be a goblin or one of those animals that murder enough people to make a lair.

...But is only good against kobolds.
Why IS Reg so obsessed with killing kobolds? Is there more to it than simple mania? Perhaps she's using it as misdirection or to condition everyone around her to ignore kobold sightings.
I figure she's either a werkobold or a kobold sitting on another kobold's shoulders. In the former case, she's a night creature herself; in the latter, kobolds skulk and skulking's best done at night, so that's close enough. Call dibs on Holt.

Reg is fully armored, largely in iron/steel. You can tell she has chainmail on beneath her blue dress. She's holding what appears to be a silver/steel short sword. She should be fine against the creature.
Reg: Put your visor down (not that that does anything, but just to be safe). If you get a good shot, stab the creature in the foot (to slow it down and therefore make its attacks less accurate), and then watch for the chance to sever its neck. Failing that, stab it in the head if you get an opening. Both are almost guaranteed one-shot kills.
Let's give Reg a title, shall we? Should make things amusing when she's lording that over Holt.

I thought we were going with the 'Reg swings sword wildly while Holt watches in awe only to jump in with a save at the last moment' thing.I guess that works too, but the thought of Reg gaining a title greatly amuses me, and it's obtainable without her needing much skill, too. Well, provided it doesn't decide to break her legs.

You giggle for some reason. You can't really help it; you've found yourself laughing at nearly everything he says. As for the puzzle box, you're alright with letting that go. An apple for an old low-quality puzzle box is a fair trade by itself, and you haven't had anything to eat since before you left the mountainhomes.
And by the Gods, do elves know how to grow apples! A crisp Elven apple is better than stale cat biscuits on any day of the week. How they manage to make them grow during the winter is beyond you, but you're not about to complain.

Spoiler: The snowy view from ShieldDawn (click to show/hide)
[Blah blah blah] the winter
Ah ha! I was wondering about that snowy view. So it's winter, and apparently we're changing biomes on our way into ShieldDawn, leaving one which has no lingering snowfall. Good thing we love mittens so much.
Also, I note that all the trees visible on ShieldDawn's embark site have been cut down. SOMEbody's going to make an offer to the elves that offends them. Yup.
. . .
Hey. How well do elves do with cold weather? We've got one spare pair of mittens in our backpack (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=136384.msg5015924#msg5015924). Show foresight as well as compassion and trade your spare mittens to your newfound elf friend for, I dunno, whatever they got on 'em. The rest of their trading excursion is gonna go poorly, so it falls on you alone to make a good impression.
In other words, I'm hoping at least to get through a mitten trade before we fall flat on our face.

You've heard tales of the horrors that Elf-kind have visited upon the Dwarves in the past century, but you can't bring yourself to believe any of it right now. The stories of Elves ripping fortresses apart stone by stone with walking tree-men, crops blighted and refusing to grow even deep below the surface, enchanted singing arrows impaling Dwarves from miles and miles away...
Surely Darkerdaffodil couldn't be one of those elves, could he? He seems too sweet, too kind to bring about such destruction. You're even starting to doubt whether or not Elves really ARE cannibals! Maybe it was just a rumor spread by the misinformed, like that time you heard that a magical cheese-making-wizard would be visiting the mountainhome. It turned out that it was just a regular traveling wizard, doing lame magic tricks like making a cheese wheel disappear. You've never been so disappointed in Cheese-Wiz in your whole life.
You tell Darkerdaffodil about all the crazy elf-stories you've heard over the years, like how they eat each other and worship trees. That's so lame, right?
(http://i.imgur.com/dnj34ol.gif) (http://i.imgur.com/dnj34ol.gif)
Darkerdaffodil looks away, his shoulders slumping.
"I'm afraid that's all true, Misty. Well, at least partly true." He takes a moment to collect his thoughts, then points up the road.
(http://i.imgur.com/wzmtSRf.png) (http://i.imgur.com/wzmtSRf.png)
"Do you see Flowerplucker up there? She's a Druid and an ambassador for our race, though she may be a fragile, naive young thing and I may be twenty years her senior. For you see, she was blessed by the great Force with the power to give life, where most of us can only take it away. She is an older soul, and I suspect that after her passing she may rejoin us again in life as a Greater Soul."
(http://i.imgur.com/6sS72gJ.gif) (http://i.imgur.com/6sS72gJ.gif)
"You see young Misty, our mission is not one of trade alone. Shielddawn has been deforesting the countryside in their industrious pursuits. They've cut so far and so wide that soon they will start to encroach upon the pine forest to the east, where we make our home. The deforestation must be stopped, or soon the land will cry out and the trees where our children sleep will fall to Dwarven axes. And while it does pain me to see trees fall, we Elves realize we cannot impose our will on others, so we've come bearing a compromise. If your kind can limit themselves to the lives of only a sixty trees a year, the land will have a chance to regrow and replenish itself.
It is not a pretty compromise, but we know that we cannot judge Dwarves for their needs and beliefs any more than they would judge us for living amongst the trees. We can not expect a culture so different from ours to hold the same values, especially not after so many years of bloody conflict."
(http://i.imgur.com/L8Aauc4.gif) (http://i.imgur.com/L8Aauc4.gif)
"We Elves believe that we; you, I, the birds in the forests, the fish in the sea, are all of the same. When we die, our bodies go to the world and our souls return to the great Force. There our souls mingle and exchange with one another, until it is time to return to the world with a new body and a fresh essence.
Why does your kind find it so strange, then, to consume the discarded shell of a soul? It is so wrong for my ancestors to nourish me even in their passing, for my enemy who wished harm upon my person to heal my wounds in his death? I know to forgive my enemy, but I will not shed my shell at his wish. And, if I must, I will relieve him of his mortal coil if he were to insist, but I will do so with regret. Young souls like us who walk and talk have not yet achieved perfection.
Trees, however, are the shells of Greater Souls and have achieved this perfection. They live life harming none, giving to all. Their fruits nourish us, their branches provide shelter, their leaves shade. They are the ideal, and to see them forced wrongfully from this earth fills every Elf's heart with sadness. We live in harmony with these Greater Souls, and though it saddens us to see others do differently, we know we must respect their beliefs. For if we did not, how would we be any better than they?"
(http://i.imgur.com/ZCmEuze.png) (http://i.imgur.com/ZCmEuze.png)
"The great Force saw fit to make many of us who think and see differently, perhaps to test us and encourage us to work with one another. If that is the great Force's purpose, then we must strive to make peace possible."
(http://i.imgur.com/oFXTLpo.gif) (http://i.imgur.com/oFXTLpo.gif)
You sit for a minute and let that sink in. It's...different than what the nun told you, and you're not really sure what to make of it. You want to explain to him about Armok and the giant Anvil in the sky, but he believes in this "great Force" thing so much that you're not sure you have the heart to tell him he's wrong.
Because, well, he is wrong. He has to be. Dwarves have believed in Armok since time began, it would be silly to think that the world wasn't recreated over and over again.
"That's...interesting," you finally say.
"I know you believe different, young Dwarf," he replies. "But that is not reason for our races to fight. Through peace, we may both grow stronger and achieve enlightenment."
You nod your head slowly. Elves are...weird.

However, though Misty feeding the apple to Maynard is a good distraction, it makes me a little worried. It implies Misty is trying to get rid of the thing; that she's now uncomfortable with anything taken from the elves. All our efforts at smoothing out inter-species conflict are resulting in a dwarf discarding a brewable fruit.
Stop talking religion. Start talking economics.

Misty should ask the elf (girl? boy? It's so hard to tell) what their favorite mineral is, and their favorite cheese. Romance has no place in an ambitious, forward moving, Gods blessed (maybe?) cheeser, at least not until a luxury bedroom has been dedicated for her and her future paramour. Besides, we have centuries for that.

Misty asking the elf what his favourite mineral is, is like the elf asking Misty what her favourite type of wood is. I dont think that Misty knows that there are different types, and the elf doesnt now about different types of stone. I mean, come on, rock is rock... right?Well, Dwarves have a great variety of fungus wood to work with (some of it quite distinct, like nether cap). But I could see elves saying "Rock is rock."

While I've loved the story up to this point, this panel reminds me of one of those "and this is the path they took" cartoons. Kinda surprised the path was actually relatively straight and practical. ;)Glad you are enjoying it.

Anyway hey guy have a look at the status at the top of the panel their shields have the three circles like the gods halo's. But this was made before we even started talking about the gods. LOL

Misty asking the elf what his favourite mineral is, is like the elf asking Misty what her favourite type of wood is. I dont think that Misty knows that there are different types, and the elf doesnt now about different types of stone. I mean, come on, rock is rock... right?
More like asking who her favorite tree is. An elf asking you your favorite type of wood is like a human asking you what part of humans tastes best.

In fact, it's a pretty reoccurring theme in the drawing. There's one on top of the narrow spiraling staircase and an engraving of three people worshiping it. Judging by the dress, I guess the middle one is a priest?

I'd say its "the symbol of the civilization", thats why its engraved so often. And the middle figure is not a priest, but a craftsman who made a masterwork with the symbol.Are you sure? It seems like one of the god artworks that show up so often...

Post by: evictedSaint on October 05, 2014, 12:17:06 am
Edit: and to clarify, the three interlocking circles is the holy symbol of the all the dwarven gods, as it represents the three sister dwarven civs in this universe. Misty's mountainhome has chosen this symbol for their respective civ. Make of that what you will.
The other two civs have their own 7 gods of worship (making a total of 21 dwarven gods) and their own unique civ symbols (a crown with three points and an anvil with three flames, which all has its own mythos but is not immediately relevant to the story so I wont be getting into it right now).

I thought so too, until I looked back and realized it shows up in Kulet's creation myth page.
I interpreted the engraving on the staircase to be two people worshiping a goddess. Usually it shows up over the head of a deity figure.
Maybe when it appears by itself it means something like faith in general, which is why it shows up on the statues' shields.

Almost half way there.

This ignores the difficulty and complexity of each piece, though.

So, some percents are more percenty than the others, you mean.
Well of course. Dwarven percents. Like dwarven phyics, they are similar to, but not quiet exactly unlike our percents. I assumed that said system was being used. It is only fitting, after all.

FANART CONTEST.
Good enough for me.
Anyone who makes a piece of fanart before the next update (approximately this weekend) will be put up in the poll. The readers will vote on their favorite, and the winner by the time the NEXT update gets posted will get Dwarfed. Sound good?

The problem is that I haven't expounded upon the universe enough to make a fanfiction contest viable.
After the next chapter or two, that will be a possibility, though.
EDIT: Regardless, I will allow fanfiction to compete.

There's a bunch of elves around
And you have no idea
Out of the corner of your eye, you spot them
Reg and Holt
They're following you
About 30 feet back
They fall down a hole and have to climb back out
But they're still gaining on you:
Reg and Holt
You look for Shielddawn
But it's not close enough
They're almost upon you now
And you see there's kobolds behind them
My gods, there's kobolds everywhere!

UPDATE WITH DESCRIP: Just in case you want more specific stuff; pale skin, long mahogany brown hair with bangs, wears black and/or grey. Loves insects, monkeys, fur trimmed jackets, and copper. Green eyes with some bags under them, like she's Seen Things. Maybe a little creepy/odd, but not impolite. Probably steals things. Can be any profession, be of any personality, any religion, any motive, etc etc. Have fun with her if you make her. :D

You can't believe it. This...he's the first person, the first one who's ever believed in you. The first one who's ever told you to follow your dream. The only one, really. You've had your doubts before, but for the first time you're 100% sure that you're making the right choice by going to Shielddawn. You don't know what to say!
You've got a good feeling about all this.

my theory is the fortress Misty was from was an NPC fortress and Shielddawn is a player fortress. something tells me the unprovoked elfslaughter will be the least of the atrocities we will witness.
and Armok help us if the hypothetical player has done any modding...

It is a good update, but more of us as far as I saw in the posts were hoping for a pro-elf / possible elfxmisty bit, but regardless author is author.
Regardless, moving on with my suggestion.
Misty should be heavily emotionally disturbed for various reasons including but not limited to: having a person be killed while having a conversation with them, liking said person, and said person being the first to actually care about her life goals other than her.
P.S. Misty planning the downfall of the fort in collaboration with plump helmet men would be awesome.

At least they have a good reason to kill the caravan. Free stuff. And adding "has seen death, doesnt care for anything anymore" to the migrants. Win-Win.
Now they can melt down the mithril for materials in their volcanic forge, if they have one.
PS: Cheesemakers need milk. The outside of Shielddawn is pallisaded and snowy, there are no areas where I saw cows. No milk, no work for a cheesemaker.

This produced a mental image of dwarves being brewed in my mind. Hmmm...
Misty: if you are ordered to make armor rather than cheese, attempt to make armor out of cheese.

1. Our elf here doesn't look quite dead yet. In fact it looks to me rather straight forward he's looking towards the guy with the axe quite angrily. Correct me if I'm just seeing things.
2. The position of the bolt appears to have entered the neck at a diagonal - not at the horizontal, meaning that assuming an elf has similar anatomy to a human, it would miss the main jugular and carotid. What would likely be hit would be the anterior jugular vein - bloodworks galore still, but a somewhat slower death sentence. (i.e. a few minutes instead of seconds) I would assume this would give time for some last words and such.
3. Last words assume the bolt did not strike the Larynx, though if it hit the larynx, we would see bleeding, but not likely death-dealing blow. But this option gives a mute, living elf. (and if elf could stay alive, my personal vote for progression. Should that not be an option, I'd still like to hear some last words, either supportive of misty or spiteful towards -someone.-)

Yeah I prefer to not be a sadist. Even when I get a liaison telling me to stop chopping down trees, I let the caravan go, and just happen to cause a 'delay' for their return.
Otherwise I'm somewhat disappointed by this update, aside from my more optimistic hopes being denied, but that it was done in an undorfy way as well. No obsidian chamber, magma flush, or at least drowning chamber? The lattermost keeping the goods intact, after all. And those are just the simple options that would have had things a bit less depressing. Granted I understand how this hits things down to home for misty and has the potential to make her go insane, but still.
As for the axedwarf finishing him off, I didn't recognize the last frame as doing such till I had you guys point it out. Would have liked to have seen some last words dialog in there, but oh well.

She's be older than 12. (She'd be 18.)
Oops, I forgot to change that, originally I was going to have the year be 351, with Misty being a second year spring migrant for a player fort in a default history-length world, but then I realized that A. Second year migrants are scripted, and B. Shielddawn is apparently a mature fortress, and thus at least a few years old, so I pushed it up to 357, but forgot to update Misty's age. AFAIK, EvictedSaint has yet to post any dates or names of civilizations/groups, so any of that stuff here is just guesswork. Initially I was going to say that Misty was the "daughter of Unknown Historical Figure and Unknown Historical Figure", but apparently the game just removes that part in fortress mode descriptions if there's no historical figures listed as their (biological) parents.
Uh huh. I get the feeling that Misty won't be a cheesemaker anytime soon. Recruit or sweatshop worker are more likely career options at the moment.
I'm not especially selective with recruiting soldiers (I only really get turned off by physical attributes well below average), so out of curiosity, how would the attributes I gave her in my mock in-game description look for an unskilled migrant? It occurs to me that since I described her as "tall" (she's the same height as the adult dwarves IIRC while only being twelve), she might be able to wield a two-handed sword, pike, or halberd, and if the fortress happens to have any artifacts of those classes, she'd be a prime militia candidate.

I haven't come up with names for the Mountainhomes or the group name, actually.
There's the Northern Mountainhome (the one that Misty is from and spawned Shielddawn. Emblem is three halos)
The Western Mountainhome (borders the ocean, close to human territory. Emblem is a crown with three points)
And the Eastern Mountainhome (in the jungles to the east, isolated and very savage landscape. Emblem is an anvil with three flames).
If you guys want to suggest some potential names, I'll pick ones that sound good and make them canon.

1. Misty is traumatized. Foul mood in which she makes either a bone two handed sword or bone throne is optional. If/Whichever is made, it is covered in carvings of Darkerdaffodil and images regarding vengeance, and possibly encrusted with diamonds, obsidian, and steel spikes. -just- to piss off the fort more for using rare materials on a bone mood item.
2. Fort sees her highest skills are in cheesemaking and misc object user, the former being useless they toss her in a militia, possibly leading a new squad made up of mostly other migrants.
3. Misty uses off time to plot revenge alongside plumpy.
4. Reg is now a nightcreature but won't know it for a good while. Gets up and looks around.

Seriously though, let's change her into a Weremonitor or similar. Kobolds look like humanoid lizards, right?
Post by: Chimerat on October 28, 2014, 05:55:18 am
There's the Northern Mountainhome (the one that Misty is from and spawned Shielddawn. Emblem is three halos)Symbols which really love the number three... Holy crud they're Cutie Marks! :P
The Western Mountainhome (borders the ocean, close to human territory. Emblem is a crown with three points)
And the Eastern Mountainhome (in the jungles to the east, isolated and very savage landscape. Emblem is an anvil with three flames).

Also... I'm ignoring the wife line. Maybe it'll go away? :-X

Werebeasts can only be mammals or reptiles, so no werechicken. :) But that koboldish were-monitor-lizard would be... interesting.
Still, I'd vote for wereopossum. :D

If you happen to have been bitten by a were creature, recall that it was a were monitor.
(Throwing in for weremonitor, though given that evicted was asking Meph about masterwork stuff in a PM according to the latter, so it's entirely possible it's a masterwork night creature.)

Of course, most werebeasts are actually werewolves, just with different traits. And EvictedSaint has near unlimited artistic freedom. And... the mod specific PM talk about the next "thing"... its not about a werebeast. Which doesnt mean that there wont be one. Just that there will also be... something else.

Say, do we know what the name of Misty's civilization is, and the name of the group that runs shielddawn?
I haven't come up with names for the Mountainhomes or the group name, actually.
There's the Northern Mountainhome (the one that Misty is from and spawned Shielddawn. Emblem is three halos)
The Western Mountainhome (borders the ocean, close to human territory. Emblem is a crown with three points)
And the Eastern Mountainhome (in the jungles to the east, isolated and very savage landscape. Emblem is an anvil with three flames).
If you guys want to suggest some potential names, I'll pick ones that sound good and make them canon.So I've made some fan art...Sort of, in a sense. I can't draw for my life, but if a picture is worth a thousand words, than a thousand words is worth a picture...

If people would like, I'll do the other dwarves, though I'll have to do even more guesswork about dates than I did for Misty.
1) This is amazing, and pretty damn spot-on for however little information I've given.
2) The tentative timeline I've given before was long, long, looong before I'd hammered out any real plot. The timeline (non-spoilery) goes thusly:
Years Prior Year Notable Event
0 357 Misty Arrives at Shielddawn.
-1 356 Darkerdaffodil's wife becomes pregnant with their first child.
-7 350 Legendary Demi-God Hero Zon Lokumarak dies and is entombed at Shielddawn.
-12 345 Misty is born. War ends the same year and Zon retires to Shielddawn.
-15 342 Reg is born. The Queen migrates to Sheilddawn the same year.
-20 337 Shielddawn is founded. Mosus Bothonnazom is declared a Duke the same year.
-30 327 Tipping point of the Elf-Dwarf war in favor of the Dwarves.
-36 321 Darkerdaffodil is born.
-55 312 Zon is born.
-78 279 War begins to tipping in favor of the Elves.
-107 250 War declared between Elves and Dwarves.
-112 245 Gruzzluss Holt becomes Captain of the Mountainhome Guard.

Do they bleed?
I've never seen them in-game, but I found this:
Quote
- Spawn do not bleed nor breathe and their brains don't do anything. They only die when their obsidian hearts are destroyed or they are chopped in half.
- Spawn don't feel pain.
- Due to their lack of bleeding and obsidian hearts, immersion in magma does next to nothing to Spawn. I think it does slow them down due to their legs being injured, but it has the nasty side-effect of lighting them on fire virtually-forever.
- Spawn have TRAPAVOID and LOCKPICKER (BUILDINGDESTROYER led to pathing errors, sadly), so most passive defense methods don't work.
- Spawn have no weapons, but they can bite through armour with frightening efficiency due to natural skill and force multipliers.
I'm grateful I've never met them. Some things should've stayed forgotten.

I'd probably advise people to stop going on about weremammoths and weremonitors; this night creature probably isn't even a werebeast given what little we've seen of it, so trying to force of the issue would definitely be something that could be construed as "annoying", and thus fufilling the condition in Saint's tagline.
That said, I really hope Reg lives, she's honestly one of my favorite characters.

It could be any one of a number of things at this point. But out of curiosity, I wonder if Reg's hatred of kobolds would extend to niths, their feral, tamable underground cousins?
In story terms probably, in game terms, Kobolds aren't even hateable from what I recall, but I took the occasional liberty in the mood screens for Misty and Reg; ie describing Misty as tall given she's the same height as most of the adult dwarves in the story at age twelve, despite the fact that in game, sentient creatures reach their full size at 12 years of age.

In real life, yes. In dwarf fortress, I didn't believe the way preferences worked would allow that, since I was under the impression that anti-preferences would only be chosen from creatures with the hateable vermin tag.

To save on future speculation, it's supposed to be a procedurely generated night troll/creature. I realize that having to actually explain it outside of the story reflects poorly on my skills as an author. That's what I get for rushing an update. :(
Im sorry guys, I was really struggling with this one. I had always intended for it to be a night troll/creature thing, but I probably should have jumped on one of the suggestions you guys threw out instead. Even the art in this update is below par; I'm not happy with any of it. I can do better and I should do better. I think I might just scrub this update and try over again, I'm too unsatisfied with it and if I don't fix it now I never will.

The helmet already had holes in it to begin with. The creature's claw is poking in through one of them. It didn't rip a new hole through the material.Mind you, now that it's through, it's definitely expanding the hole, judging by the "rend" sound effect and the jagged edges of the metal peels around it. If we ditch the helmet, though, we're going to have to worry about something strong enough to cut steel still having a pretty solid grip on us and no longer having to worry about cutting through the helmet, so it's a bit of a horse apiece.

I might sound like a teenage girl going on about twilight, but I was liking the "whats his face+misty" deal before the crossbow nation attacked.Its funny, I was liking the 'What's his face dying in front of Misty' deal. It was a tangent to the story, and now it sets Misty up with some backstory and future shenanigans.

If it tries to bite and you can't parry, block or dodge, perhaps jamming your helmet in its mouth will delay it, but that's strictly a last resort.

If you can't get the sword, and if it's too dangerous to punch out it's teeth, try surprising it by attempting to bite out it's throat.

+1 - using the helmet as a distraction/pseudo shield while grabbing a sword (whichever is most accessible) sounds like a great plan. Once the sword is aquired, hack off nearest limb to increase blood loss and reduce mobility. Then withdraw.

Anything bisected in DF automatically dies.
More specifically, if the upper half and lower half get separated then it dies. It depends on the raws a bit but you could construct a weird creature where you can cut off a surprisingly large fraction of it without killing it.

This little cheesemaker is just adorable and i would take her and hug her. Same with Reg, but she's also an angry badass so that gives extra points.
The plump helmet being the literal chew toy of everything is hilarious (plump helmet men are just so delicious and punchable) and the nun is rather hilarious. You know, the "kindly old nun" stereotype along with being a nun of ARMOK, THE GOD OF BLOOD. And the painting herself with her own blood, of course.
PTW.

Now, to get all of my Wild Mass Guesses off of my chest...
!!Reg is now a proper swordsdwarf (novice in swordsdwarf) rather than merely a recruit!!
!!Holt will bestow a title on Reg for her slaying of the creature of the night!!
!!Reg's title will be somewhat old fashioned and at least a little bit embarrassing to Reg, the kind of thing an aged, grandfatherly dwarf like Holt would consider a good title!!
!!Because of their detour into the lair of a night creature, Reg and Holt arrive at Shielddawn after Misty and the other migrants have been "processed", and are told by the dwarves at the door that nobody of Misty's description arrived with the last group!!
!!There will then be a timeskip of a few months or so!!
!!During this time, Misty will be put to work in the mines of Shielddawn ,perhaps as part of a crew of haulers assigned to move mine carts full of ore up from the depths!!
!!Misty being stuck down in the depths of Shielddawn is part of some higher conspiracy!!
!!At some point, perhaps via overhearing gossip from the guards or one of the other "laborers", Misty learns that the only living master (legendary+5) of the cheesemaking skill is none other than the necromancer!!
!!Misty will hatch a daring plan to escape Shielddawn, and, at the insistence of the couple who came to Shielddawn in the same wave as her, rescue their son from Shielddawn's "Daycare" program!!
!!We then return to Reg and Holt at the Mountainhomes just as Misty's plan is reaching a critical moment!!
!!Reg is now a proficient swordsdwarf!!
!!Because of his failure to keep an eye on Misty, and because he took the blame for the two getting lost and wandering into a night creature's lair, Holt has been politely asked to retire!!
!! Holt's replacement turns out to be a well-meaning but sheltered and horrifically under-qualified nobledwarf with an influential Count (who may have a goatee) for a father who negotiated him the position to keep him the as far away from any actual fighting as possible while still making him think he's in a position with actual responsibility!!
!!Awkward moments ensue between Reg and her clueless new boss!!
!!Then we hear screaming and fighting: the mountainhomes are under attack for the first time in decades!!
!!Back to Misty, because cliffhangers when switching between the perspectives of the protagonist and the (apparent) deutragonist seem to be a tradition at this point!!
So yeah.

In all likelihood that's what's going on. It's not like Holt's horrifically injured to the point where a mercy killing would be on the table, and I kind of doubt Reg would randomly stab her Captain for no reason.

It was a joke about her being enraged and the image not showing what she was stabbing, rather than an actual "I wonder if this is what's happening" question. :T
That said, at some point in the distant future when things get SUPERSERIOUS, I wouldn't be opposed to Reg having to deliver a coup de grace to a mortally wounded Holt. I like Holt, but he 's practically at the max age for a dwarf, and in that age group your starting to look at a bunch of horrible, incurable, and painful illnesses, particularly cancer. A death on the battlefield might very well make for a more dignified end to an old soldier than wasting away in a hospice.

Reg, become at LEAST novice with that sword. And at least a Master armor-user for that helmet use. Holt, start looking for a way out. Preferably using what's left of that night whatever.
I just wish my adventurers could take on something like that...
Why is nobody posting anything about the Shielddawn scene that happened like 50 pages or more ago? Unless I missed something, that plot line hasn't had an update since.

Reg: Start sobbing. Be cuddled.
Holt: Once done consoling, look for a way out.
She already is. A close examination of the last image shows that they are embracing, him comforting her. It is really a wonderful bit of fine detail.

I think with the fade-out, it is time to return to our little friend the cheesemaker, who is discovering the lovely reception of a dwarven fortress. Indeed, it would seem that this fortress is to be much of what a player would operate, as opposed to the mountainhome and its more AI setup. Alas, poor misty, we knew her cheese well.

Captain Holt is a homosexual 165 year-old dwarf.
Now that's interesting, because homosexuality wasn't in the game in 0.34.x. So our author is either importing some 0.40.x features, or isn't sticking to Dwarf Fortress mechanics at all.
Technically, dwarves are generally considered adult at twelve.
But dwarves also must be within 10 years of each other in age (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Marriage) to become romantically involved. That is, in Dwarf Fortress they do. Maybe not in this story.
Post by: Archereon on November 29, 2014, 09:16:41 pm
We could probably use one more update to establish what Reg and Holt are going to do next before changing the POV; are they going to go back to the Mountainhomes or try to make it to Shielddawn?
Now, that said, at this point, I'd consider Reg more or less the deuteragonist to our protagonist (about 30% of the pages are from Reg's POV rather than Misty) rather than just a supporting character, and if the entire chapter is meant to cover her point of view, I'd be fine with that.

That sounds like the legend of the dwarves in Lord of the Rings, that Durin the Deathless will wake and walk the earth....again. How pleasant, except you are plotting for the hero to be a zombie, rather than simply a completely-restored dwarf, thus creating another plotline. Why not a C plotline?It just seemed to me like the ripe-for-the-picking corpse of a demigod war-hero just sitting around, wasting away in the near vicinity of a necromancer would be an awful shame. Or maybe he has already been resurrected and is commanding his zombie army to build roads Roman legion style? Old dogs, you know.

It's odd, for me what felt off was completely different - the expression and stance. This guy look like Holt's brother. Holt is stooped, and his eyes are guarded - he *appears* not particularly bright, but I think there is a lot more going on behind that face that he lets on. So the result is someone who looks a lot like Holt, but doesn't *feel* like Holt. I'm not sure if that make sense?

Make him grow
I just had to read up on mushroom people in Dark Soul, quite entertaining. Apparently they not very important to the overall story, but good design have made them really catch people's imagination. They certainly have mine.
Anyway, my point is this: In dark soul, there are small, fairly harmless Mushroom "children", and then large, quite dangerous mushroom "parents". I can't help but notice that Plumpy is about intermediate in size - perhaps a bit bigger than the children but not full grown yet (that, or he appears that way because dwarves are short?) Anyway, under the right conditions, mushrooms can grow quite fast, and just to say that Plumpy may not have reach his full potential yet...
Gosh, leave it to the DF community to give me real actual art critique, you guys are the best! <3

Reg definitely looks better. Must be the increased contrast.
Holt looks weird with that nose, he looks like an alcoholic (not all dwarves are alcoholics, surely ?). Also his skin has the exact same color as his breastplate.
Post by: wierd on December 07, 2014, 06:06:36 pm
Also, it is not unreasonable for clothing to exactly match skin tones. Happens frequently in fact, which is why "Look agains" are a thing.
Take for instance, this woman's understated blouse.
(http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/77/88/ca/7788ca49cca087a4a289edffd620c702.jpg)
With the problem of a constrained palette, recurrence of a suitable shade is inevitable. The best he could do here is to put an edge in a darker hue at the edge of the armor-- but with low pixel resolution, this can be an even worse faux-pas.
In this case, I would say overlook that issue.

About Plumpy: Hes not from Dark Souls, but Masterwork DF. The Plump Helmet Men are the same size as dwarves. They can be rebellious, but only if they outnumber your dwarves.
Plump helmet men are also in vanilla, though naturally they're differently implemented.

Masterwork doesn't include this feature, but it does include rebellious PHM killing dwarves in their sleep by draining their blood (using their mycellium I guess). I guess TLCM can include either...
Post by: Meph on December 08, 2014, 01:40:54 am
In the later updates of the original mod that Masterwork got its Plump Helmet Men from, they have the ability to turn dwarves into 'spore thralls' by sneaking up on them while they sleep (like vampires) and planting spores in their brains (they will only do this if they are planning a rebellion). Spore thralls are indistinguishable from regular dwarves except that they have no emotions and do not die from blood loss. However, if the Plump Helmet Men decide to revolt, all the spore thralls will join the rebellion. Also, spore thralls can make other spore thralls.Oh, why dont I know about this? I should update that. :)

I believe it is not the only instance of such an effect in nature. There are also more subtle ones, like toxoplasmosis, which causes rats to loose their fear of the smell of cat urine and instead be attracted to it. (it may also have an impact on human behavior...)
All that being said, I much prefer giant plumpy with the megapunch ;)

In *some* circumstances you can use your phone as a hotspot for internet. I actually played EVE that way when I has issues with my ISP - my cellphone was far more reliable. This is only viable if you have a lot of data on your phone plan though (and if your phone can act as a hotspot).

That is awesome! :D :D :D
And given how strangely the dwarven mind work, this could work ... for a time
Urist: This imigrant, Pansy McElvenspy
Ingish: What of him?
Urist: I do no like him. There is something wrong with him. His speech is strange. He doesn't like butchering kittens. His hair is silky and soft. Is he even dwarven?
Ingish: He has a beard. He carries a hammer. Therefore, he is dwarf.
Urist: Your logic is strong like granite.
only to fail due to the most absurd of reason later on
Pansy: Hello Urist TinDoored
Urist: Greetings Pansy McElvenspy
Pansy: Erm Urist, are you sure you should remove that floor? Ingish is sort of standing on it
Urist: Orders are to remove floor.
Pansy: But Ingish will fall
Urist: You question orders?!? SPYYYYYY!!!

Post by: fourpotatoes on December 15, 2014, 04:01:09 am
I suppose there're three scenarios to consider: does this fortress use unskilled migrants as mass unskilled (but generally safe) labor, as military recruits, or for dangerous jobs like working in the caverns & "testing" the trash compactor? If they go into the military, are they ablative shields or do they undergo an actual training program?
If the fortress isn't assigning squad numbers out of sequence to confuse the elven menace, then the existence and equipment of HERT Squad 3 gives me hope that Shielddawn has an efficient military with a good training program. If we find that's the case, getting drafted as an unskilled migrant might be Misty's best bet, something like a dwarven GI Bill (since it's valuable for soldiers to also have a civilian profession). What does a legendary axedwarf do on her downtime? Whatever she wants!
On the other hand, if Shielddawn is a more typical fortress, I'd say Misty should be mostly honest about her skill level but claim interest in a desirable moodable skill / material / object combination. Engraving's good, or she could talk about how her father's a legendary armorsmith and wanted her to be an armorsmith too, but she never wanted to be an armorsmith. She wanted to be... a weaponsmith! Leaping from forge to forge, her best hammer in her hand, as she strides down the broad craft halls! Oh, and she really likes cheese, too.
... after all this paranoia and deception, Misty's going to lie and get shunted into some boring or dangerous job only to find out that Shielddawn is attempting to construct the world's largest underground dairy operation, isn't she? A dairy industry is a large &inefficient process by which they produce a product (cheese) that's less valuable than the result of an easy, compact process (farm plots + prepared meals), but that's the dwarven way: Dwarves undertake megaprojects like a giant glass tower, a magma-spewing death machine or a cheese-based economy not because they are easy but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of their energies and skills, because that challenge is one that they are willing to accept, one they are unwilling to postpone, and one that they intend to

Once she pulls herself together, perhaps offering a prayer to Urist and Armok that the dead elves might be reforged and reborn in a higher form -- not as dwarves yet, mind, that's too big a leap, but perhaps as snails, donkeys, or humans -- Misty's going to need to get through whatever immigration controls they have here at Shielddawn.+1 (I assume my suggestions would be applied to this as well.)

Anyways, activate Brewing, Engraving, Milking and Cheesemaking. At least she won't be completely useless to the fort, and maybe she'll make cheese.

You know, it occurs to me that I listed helms in Reg's preference list when I did a mock DF mood screen for her. I'm not sure if I'm psychic. I suppose I should put it to the test.
Now, to get all of my Wild Mass Guesses off of my chest...
!!Reg is now a proper swordsdwarf (novice in swordsdwarf) rather than merely a recruit!!
!!Holt will bestow a title on Reg for her slaying of the creature of the night!!
!!Reg's title will be somewhat old fashioned and at least a little bit embarrassing to Reg, the kind of thing an aged, grandfatherly dwarf like Holt would consider a good title!!
!!Because of their detour into the lair of a night creature, Reg and Holt arrive at Shielddawn after Misty and the other migrants have been "processed", and are told by the dwarves at the door that nobody of Misty's description arrived with the last group!!
!!There will then be a timeskip of a few months or so!!
!!During this time, Misty will be put to work in the mines of Shielddawn ,perhaps as part of a crew of haulers assigned to move mine carts full of ore up from the depths!!
!!Misty being stuck down in the depths of Shielddawn is part of some higher conspiracy!!
!!At some point, perhaps via overhearing gossip from the guards or one of the other "laborers", Misty learns that the only living master (legendary+5) of the cheesemaking skill is none other than the necromancer!!
!!Misty will hatch a daring plan to escape Shielddawn, and, at the insistence of the couple who came to Shielddawn in the same wave as her, rescue their son from Shielddawn's "Daycare" program!!
!!We then return to Reg and Holt at the Mountainhomes just as Misty's plan is reaching a critical moment!!
!!Reg is now a proficient swordsdwarf!!
!!Because of his failure to keep an eye on Misty, and because he took the blame for the two getting lost and wandering into a night creature's lair, Holt has been politely asked to retire!!
!! Holt's replacement turns out to be a well-meaning but sheltered and horrifically under-qualified nobledwarf with an influential Count (who may have a goatee) for a father who negotiated him the position to keep him the as far away from any actual fighting as possible while still making him think he's in a position with actual responsibility!!
!!Awkward moments ensue between Reg and her clueless new boss!!
!!Then we hear screaming and fighting: the mountainhomes are under attack for the first time in decades!!
!!Back to Misty, because cliffhangers when switching between the perspectives of the protagonist and the (apparent) deutragonist seem to be a tradition at this point!!
So yeah.
3 rings is the civ symbol right?

Nice one, I missed the rings on the armor. :)
What is the nun drawing in the wall ? I get it that she has a blood fetish (she IS one of Armok's chosen after all), but it looks like... nothing.

+1Once she pulls herself together, perhaps offering a prayer to Urist and Armok that the dead elves might be reforged and reborn in a higher form -- not as dwarves yet, mind, that's too big a leap, but perhaps as snails, donkeys, or humans -- Misty's going to need to get through whatever immigration controls they have here at Shielddawn.+1 (I assume my suggestions would be applied to this as well.)
I suppose there're three scenarios to consider: does this fortress use unskilled migrants as mass unskilled (but generally safe) labor, as military recruits, or for dangerous jobs like working in the caverns & "testing" the trash compactor? If they go into the military, are they ablative shields or do they undergo an actual training program?
If the fortress isn't assigning squad numbers out of sequence to confuse the elven menace, then the existence and equipment of HERT Squad 3 gives me hope that Shielddawn has an efficient military with a good training program. If we find that's the case, getting drafted as an unskilled migrant might be Misty's best bet, something like a dwarven GI Bill (since it's valuable for soldiers to also have a civilian profession). What does a legendary axedwarf do on her downtime? Whatever she wants!
On the other hand, if Shielddawn is a more typical fortress, I'd say Misty should be mostly honest about her skill level but claim interest in a desirable moodable skill / material / object combination. Engraving's good, or she could talk about how her father's a legendary armorsmith and wanted her to be an armorsmith too, but she never wanted to be an armorsmith. She wanted to be... a weaponsmith! Leaping from forge to forge, her best hammer in her hand, as she strides down the broad craft halls! Oh, and she really likes cheese, too.
... after all this paranoia and deception, Misty's going to lie and get shunted into some boring or dangerous job only to find out that Shielddawn is attempting to construct the world's largest underground dairy operation, isn't she?
Oh, and Plumpy: Jubilate at the fate of the insolent donkey who tried to eat you! Then do your best to not look delicious.

Yep, the Armok-worshipping nun is engraving the divine symbol with holy ink. It's not a very good engraving, though. It's... dripping.
Misty: pray to Urist for your departed friend. Quietly. Don't let the axedwarf know.
+1, and quickly snatch any personal affects (and his socks since you're a dwarf) before the guards toss them in the trash. Hopefully one day you'll be able to give them to his next of kin, and maybe you'll be able to get some justice for the clearly unwarranted actions of these lunatics!
We all know what's going on, but I don't think Misty would get it.

Misty should tell the truth-she wants to be a cheesemaker...but has yet to make any cheese.
Bonus points if she immediately gets put on the extra-dangerous, extra-tedious hauling jobs, while still being a cheesemaker. For a fort with no cattle or so much as a drop of milk. Or any other cheesemakers.
Besides, it'll be great for plot! She definitely should also develop a grudge with the bookkeeper who will assign her to those jobs, but that can come AFTER the assignment.

That's a pretty common +solidarity mode of address for friends, strangers & casual acquaintances in some places - not where I'm from, but close enough that I encounter it on occasion. Think the stereotypical matronly restauranteuse who calls everyone "love" or "hun". That's how I'm picturing Datan the ironclad monster here. She probably bakes ≡«☼elf tallow pies☼»≡ (they menace with spikes of dough) when she's off duty.

I find it very strange that everyone is demanding that Misty claim to be anything but a Cheesemaker, when she has no reason at all to know or even suspect that that would be looked down upon. Why should she claim otherwise, other than the fact we know better? Unfortunately, she does not, and probably wouldn't think of it, especially right after a traumatic experience.

Well, they never come back as ghosts so...Yes, seek out some kind of weapon. Perhaps carve something out of a large, stale block of cheese or find a sturdy stone mug of some kind.

I vote a sword of some sort as a weapon, and name it after the elf after you win many bouts of combat. You should make your armor from cheese. Or just add cheese atop your armor for added protection.

Ask the nun if elves have souls. If she says yes, raise the issue of proper burial again.

Tell Datan about the zombies on the road.

Silly people. Civilians can't assign themselves weapons. They have to be placed in a squad!Well, civilians can't usually assign "Remove construction" jobs to themselves either.
Quickly ask Datan is there's a cheese industry going. If not, convince the overseer to get a cheese industry going ASAP by telling her that the entire mountainhome wanted cheese, and there's no milkable animals there. So they would pay huge prices for cheese wheels in the next trade season.

Alternatively, don't bury him and work out how to make ghost cheese to welcome him back once his ghost shows up.

Just that while this is true I don't think Datan knows about this. Misty could just pray for the Putnam/warmist God to cram an Elf soul into Datan.
Then there's the whole Warlock subset which everyone who dies drops a soul which could be used.... wait
Misty pull one of your hourglass do dads from your hair and search for the elf soul... you can totally make a phylactery and keep Darkerderp soul forever.

Military cheesemaker, anyone? Like Discworld's dwarven battle bread, only with cheese. Seeing how Misty's dad is an armorsmith and she doesn't actually know cheesemaking, she might end up making this one accidentally. Or in a mood.

Yeah, I dont think Misty will start doing Warlocky stuff that requries magic. Not all kids that run away from home, because they dont want to do what their parents tell them, have to become satanists. :P
Yes that's right, that would be silly.
Make a soul gem instead!
But the serious suggestion would be to hide your job, they seem to be of the crazy metalsmithy type.

When they ask if you have any useful skills, have a flashback to when your father tried to teach you armorsmithing. Become an armorsmith.

Raw modding can't make a pet ghost, as far as I'm aware. However, the ghostliness of a creature is handled by a single tag. It would be very simple to make a DFhack script that ghosts or de-ghosts a target creature. Though I'm not sure what effects that would have on things like pathing.Sounds like a perfect script to use with USAGE_HINT:FLEEING. Would be very interesting to see. Could you send me that script, if its easy to write? ^^

And that's it, Plumpy. Revel in the blood of your enemy.
"MISTEM WHEELDREAMS, OVERSEER"The odds of this working are not great, but a lot better than I'd like to admit. This place is clearly a mess, so the chances that the next overseer will be indisposed or selected through a metaphorical list rather than a literal one are kind of okay.
I say we at least explore the possibility. Ask her to tell us more about this list, and see if there's some chance to claim the spot yourself. You are an overseer's daughter, right? That makes you qualified, sort of, by a certain definition.

Also the overseer asking the nun if she was a vampire was the funniest thing ever.
Also, Plumpy drinking the blood of the mule was annoying to me. He needs to be bitten more.
I disagree with this "mistem wheeldreams, overseer" thing. It will never work.

This is a succession fort ! Damn, it will go to shit soon enough.It already has. Hence some levels being flooded and everybody being in danger of starving to death if the coincidental mechanic casual visitor doesn't hook up their drainage system for them.
Also, Plumpy drinking the blood of the mule was annoying to me. He needs to be bitten more.Is he literally drinking it? I have no idea where his input thingies are.
I disagree with this "mistem wheeldreams, overseer" thing. It will never work.That's no reason not to try!
Besides, nothing is going to work. This fort is run by savages, near a necromancer's tower, half-flooded, under new management, and completely lacking in aboveground pastures. We are in for a lot of failure and shenanigans.

If you said Overseer, Everything and FUN, you are correct.

Also, Plumpy drinking the blood of the mule was annoying to me. He needs to be bitten more.For me it seems like he saw blood first time in his life and so he's baffled. But he saw it several times just on the way here. Amazed that donkeys have blood too? Amazed that they are not immortal plump-helmet-man-eaters? Maybe he even considered the one who tried to eat him his friend?

Yes! They can run any of several different special "Pray for ___" jobs. They can produce military-grade metals, economic metals, silk, etc. out of thin air. An overseer should be greatly pleased by this.
And ES, kudos on the succession fort thing. That's hilarious.

She could run a cheese mafia? She could command the dwarves of the fortress to bring all of the milk to her; she could command them to set up breeding areas for milkable creatures; there are hundreds of ways for her to make achieving her dream of making the best cheese ever easier to achieve by becoming overseer.She must become the sheriff and start deciding who to send to jail... where they will only get sub-par cheese while the rest of the fortress gets the good stuff...

Also, if the overseer is leaving, that means that the fort is a succession fort! So, we could either recive a good overseer that would let us be a cheesemaker, or the typical maniatic sociopath that will doom the fort. Either way tell them that you are a cheese maker.

It's true for extremely hard values of easy.
There was once a man who visited an artist, and said "I need a painting of a rooster. Can you make one for me? I'm wiling to pay". The artist said "sure, come back in 2 weeks".
Two weeks later, the man returns. The artist says "oh yes. One moment please". He then takes a prepared canvas, and in 10-15 minutes, he has painted a rooster. He then tells the man "that will be 200$".
The man protested - the rooster *was* very nice, but barely took 15 minutes to do! Surely 200$ is too much for a quarter hour of labor.
The artist pointed to his waistbasket... which was filled with discarded paintings and sketches of roosters.
The man paid the artist, and left.

It looks to me like he's extending hyphae into the dead mule to absorb nutrients. Look! He's already regrown what was bitten off! Its strength is now his.

Of course, since they believe in reincarnation, they might not care so much about where their current primitive meat shells end up. Might prefer it to be outside in the great cycle of things, though.
So yeah, haul Darkerdaffodil's corpse outside somewhere out of the way. Someplace he'll be eaten by badgers in peace or something. Whatever elves like to do about the great cycle and all.
Also of concern: Misty is probably not very strong. This will probably take quite a while. It is fortunate that we have nothing better to do.

I am sure they will appreciate the thought if they where alive. And it does not hurt to show any natural force residing in the trees that you did not mean to harm the elves. Might be useful to have some friends once the elves comes knocking asking what happened to the caravan. I mean, these idiots just provoked a war with a bunch of elves that nearly won the last one. The mountain-home don't have much of an army to help out, or protect themselves for that matter. Her father might be a prime target in any war, being a legendary smith in a very ill protected mountain-home. So make sure to you at least keep things as nice as possible with the treehuggers.
I know check the donkey for a couple of tree saplings or seeds and plant them where you put the corpses, that should please the hippies and show respect for your recently deceased pointy eared friend. Oh, and say a personal prayer for them to Urist XXXwhatever and then a courtesy one to the force.

The necromancer is quite possibly (given how enthusiastically people suggested that) a legendary cheesemaker and/or one of Misty's biological parents, so I feel like she'll end up heading off to the tower eventually. In fact, it would be pretty amusing for Misty to make her way to the tower and sheepishly approach the necromancer, who (naturally) assumes there's another person here looking for the secrets of life and death when all she wants is to learn from the world's greatest cheesemaker.
Speaking of which, I just caught a dwarf cheesemaker necromancer named Mistem SomethingSomething skulking around outside my fort. Said world just so happens to be in the year 361. Coincidence?
As for the present, +1 to giving the elves a proper burial, and make sure to take one of the elves' weapons, ideally something easy to use like a club. Something tells you you're going to need something to defend yourself with around these parts. Perhaps there's a wooden mace or something amidst the trade goods they were bringing?

(Obviously) Maybe he's not all the way dead! Attempt resuscitation. (Possibly gross).
If he's really really dead, I bet I you know about someone who might be able to help! Someone nearby! Someone with specific useful tips and tricks regarding life and death!
If it is the necromancer, this is a really bad idea.
The necromancer is quite possibly (given how enthusiastically people suggested that) a legendary cheesemaker and/or one of Misty's biological parents, so I feel like she'll end up heading off to the tower eventually. In fact, it would be pretty amusing for Misty to make her way to the tower and sheepishly approach the necromancer, who (naturally) assumes there's another person here looking for the secrets of life and death when all she wants is to learn from the world's greatest cheesemaker.
Speaking of which, I just caught a dwarf cheesemaker necromancer named Mistem SomethingSomething skulking around outside my fort. Said world just so happens to be in the year 361. Coincidence?I THINK NOT!
As for the present, +1 to giving the elves a proper burial, and make sure to take one of the elves' weapons, ideally something easy to use like a club. Something tells you you're going to need something to defend yourself with around these parts. Perhaps there's a wooden mace or something amidst the trade goods they were bringing?

It's Masterwork elves we are dealing with, they have mithril and moonsilver stuff instead of wooden. A mithril cheese knife would be the best for Misty.
I assume moonsilver is good for blunt weapons, right? If so, I still maintain that Misty ought to grab something easy to use.

Assuming this is going off of a Tolkien-ish (Lord of the Rings-ish) system...
Actually, it's based off of the Masterwork Mod (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=125633.0).
That being said, TLCM isn't a MM showcase. I've been trying to keep it newbie-friendly, so the more obscure, out-of-place, and confusing stuff (like xen infectors, velociraptors, liquid spawners, etc) probably won't be showing up, since someone new to Dwarf Fortress (let alone MM) would be lost. If that sort of stuff DOES show up, it'd involve an explanation or simplification.
And, iirc, Moonsilver is just a more expensive Silver equivalent.

Also, a knife would be easy to carry and conceal, useful in a multitude of everyday non-combat situations, and not beyond Misty's strenght or agility. If it comes to combat, just stick them with the pointy end. And she definitely doesn't want to walk around with a big obvious weapon she can't effectively use, they might mistake her for a soldier and send her to battle, without training or armor.

Given that dwarves become lethargic and weak without alcohol. I'd assume ethanol serves a vital role in some metabolic pathway. Presumably a metabolic "shunt" exists that bypasses the need for ethanol intake at a significant energy cost, since a dwarf can survive indefinitely without alcohol.
Thus, I don't really think dwarves would "get" drunk.

Cheese is an appropriate path to immortality because milk, which represents life, rots quickly, but if it rots in the right way then it can 'live' forever. If one were to comprehend the true essence of cheese, one could achieve immortality through 'the coagulation of the soul'.

They are self-growing plump helmets, which need no farm.
The problem? IndigoFenix wrote an AI for them. They might kill your dwarves in their sleep, start open war against your fort, if the PHM outnumber your dwarves, or are kept in an area full of other PHM and few dwarves. They might rot and cause miasma, they might infect your dwarves with a fungi, meaning the dwarf joins them if they rebell, and similar things. It's very neat.

This is a valid point - you don't want to dilute/interfere too much with the main story. However, the nice thing about a plump helmet men revolution is that the timeline and series of event is *completely* flexible. Maybe the plum helment men are mere hours away from destroying the fort. Maybe they need 12 more years of preparation. Who knows?!? How do these alien minds think? So from a story telling point of view, you can put that in your back pocket, make occasional reference to it, and unleash it when most appropriate - if at all.

Cheeseromancer = lover of cheese
Tyromancer = wizard who does things with cheese, may or may not be evil
Necrocheeser = evil wizard who does things with dead cheese or cheese from dead cows/milkable animals/purring maggots
Clearly the best term for the dude from the tower is necrocheeser, assuming he's not just a regular necromancer.

Yeah, PHM rebellions rarely end well for the Plump Helmet Men, especially for forts with any kind of military. It's closer to passive-aggressive suicide...

We're debating the nature of the owner of the Tower they passed more than Misty's future career. It would be mildly amusing if he were the Necrocheeser instead of a regular necromancer because it would make him more of an antagonist to Misty specifically instead of the fort in general.

Fixed that for you.Choose Dorkierdaffodil's corpse to haul. (Obviously) Maybe he's not all the way dead! Attempt resuscitation. (Possibly gross).
If he's really really dead, I bet I you know about someone who might be able to help! Someone nearby! Someone with specific useful tips and tricks regarding life and death!
If it is the necromancercheeser, this is a reallybadgood idea.
Also, +1 to background rebellion.

Plumpy: You are locked in a dark damp room that's visibly suitable for mushroom life. You have access to several other PHM, surely some are the opposite gender? Breed.
Or just wait until all the soldiers are otherwise occupied with FUN.
Post by: TheHossofMoss on January 14, 2015, 03:23:32 pm
When they finally break out, Plumpy roars the command: "Release the spores!" The entire fort becomes infected. Some die. Some live and become slaves to the Plump Helmet Hivemind. The fungus begins growing everywhere. Plump helmet people begin life anew, with the above-ground sanctuary they had claimed.
Long live the cause.

Game-mechanically, all clothing just magically falls off when you die. It lies in the same tile as your corpse, but is not on your corpse any longer. Of course, that wouldn't make sense in the illustrated story....

When you consider you can wrestle someone and grab their back teeth with your lower leg while applying a joint lock on their knee with the upper part of the same leg, dorfs start to resemble some sort of bearded 4 limbed monstrosity which behaves like a cross between an octopus, a bunch of velcro, and far too many fingers.

Can't kill what you don't see,
Plumpy Man is found in me!
Plumpy Man! Plumpy Man!
Hypnotizing pod spores, mashing all the lame Dorfes,
Never-ending sobriety.
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker,
Breeding when you're far away.
Smashing all OS plans,

Cannot stop the Plumpy Man!
Pounding out aggression.
Turns into obessesion.

Here is an idea: Maybe we can create a computer game, based on this succesful comic to create more franchise? Something with dwarves and plump helmet men, fortresses and the like. I can see it very clearly... would be a great hit.

The image is indeed a bit off-center, due to how the background is designed. I just threw it in there, I'd probably center it if I actually made one.
Priced around $20 individually, too; not bad. The price is a lot better in bulk as well.

Someone discussed why it would be tyromancer, and I could swear one was posted a couple pages back.
As I have explained many times:
Cheeseromancer = lover of cheese
Tyromancer = cheese wiz = wizard who does things with cheese, may or may not be evil
Necrocheeser = evil wizard who does things with dead cheese or makes cheese from dead cows/milkable animals/purring maggots
Clearly the best term for the dude from the tower is necrocheeser, assuming he's not just a regular necromancer.

Where is the connection between Tyro and Cheeser? I only get "beginner" as translation or a reference to a greek (non-cheese) god if I google that.
The greek word for cheese is Tyros.

Originating in or produced in or by cheese."

Maybe it's cheese in latin?It isn't.
"tyro" from "tiro" means beginner or novice. A bit more poking around suggests that the word refers specifically to recruits. So a Tyromancer would be a Drill Sargent. :P
Alternatively, it's Lithuanian meaning "pure".
Latin for cheese is caesus, which (I think?) refers to any processed curd product. ( So butter & cheese would both fall under the domain of Caesomancer. And yes, it'd be pronounced like "queso". )
Ah! I see... Thanks for deflating the thing I said by sniping me. XDWhere is the connection between Tyro and Cheeser? I only get "beginner" as translation or a reference to a greek (non-cheese) god if I google that.

"Mostly?!"
"Well yes, your highness. As you recall you strictly limited to a 300 copper piece budget..."
"Yes, a small fortune, but well worth it to have magic on our side!"
"So ... erm... the pyromancer didn't want to work for that kind of money. Neither did the transmuter"
"What?!? Those greedy fools! But surely there are more than 2 magic users in the realm?"
"Yes sire. But the druid wouldn't work with the nobility, and the clerics consider you impious"
"Those stuffy, arrogant swines! Go on now"
"And as your majesty must concede, it wouldn't be proper to consort with a necromancer or a witch"
"Granted"
"The abjurer left town, the diviner said it would end poorly and the alchemist accidentally blew himself up three weeks ago... so..."
"Yes? You did get someone? Surely not a warlock"

Misty currently in a crisis and know what would work well is if we talk to those gods... let's see what would they have to say about Darkerdafilliio death:

because he got his head smashed in by a warhammer, and mangled skulls is just enough to tick off no-reanimation from 'fit for reanimation' quota for vanilla necromancy.
that or do what Bookfire said and craft yourself a Flesh golem connected with the spirit of DarkerPhiladelphia

"Dear Cowsea and Urist Three Hundred and Six. Hi. It's me Misty again. I'm sorry for praying again so soon, but I really need some help.
I know I only started worshiping you guys today, but my friend got killed and I also only met him today. I'm feeling really lost, and confused, and really really scared, and if you guys can help me I would really appreciate it! You see, Darkerdaffodil was telling me about how elves worship trees and how everything is connected, and how souls are all just sort of sloshing around in the afterlife. I really didn't understand it very much, but I'm pretty sure that when he gets reincarnated, he would want to be a tree.
I know that's a lot to ask, but if you guys could help him out, that would be very nice. And if you've still got some time left over, I would also like some help. Shielddawn is kind of a scary place, and I'm worried that I might not fit in very well, or get hurt, or something. I know the Overseer Lady told me that I'm a hauler now, but I really don't want to be a hauler! I want to be a cheesemaker! So if you guys can maybe help me out, just a little, I'll try not to ask you for anything else."

Ponder over the thought if the gods, any gods truly exist. Or souls and the afterlife even.
Think about the consequences of those possibilities. Ask them for a sign, no matter how small it is. One small that you might notice some time during this day.
Then let it go and keep hauling. You said your prayers and that's what matters.. right?

Except that they don't butcher animals that die in combat, only ones specifically brought in by hunters or slaughtered.
No, the actual issue is whether the animal (before its death) was wild or not. If the animal had any degree of tameness (from semi-wild all the way up to domesticated), then its corpse is completely useless -- you can't butcher it. Wild animals that are killed by the military and then hauled close to a butcher's shop (or, you can just build a butcher's shop next to the corpse) can be butchered just fine. The same goes for the non-sentient mounts of sieging armies.
Since the donkey was a pack animal brought by a merchant caravan, I believe it counts as "wild" from Shielddawn's point of view. They should be able to butcher it. I think.

Also... I don't know if Misty knows any soul interactions? I guess she could always make elven-leather armour, but I don't think she's at that emotional state. (Yet.) Besides, I think we ought to allow her a little bit of kindness, she's got a pretty long and traumatizing life ahead of her.
Alternatively! That would be an exceptional way for Misty to very quickly rank up in ShieldDawn's society. So... do we want

Why not? I've seen them steal anvils before. Not even the GIANT keas, just ordinary garden variety keas lifting an entire anvil and flying off with it to adorn their nest with. Or maybe to discover metal working so they can make weapons to kill us with.
Yeah, but do they steal worthless items?

Reg is traumatized by killing.
Misty is traumatized by witnessing death.
Reg is in hostile territory, providing the majority of her party's battle-worth.
Misty is in a player-run Dwarf Fortress.
evictedSaint, you are a monster.
But our course is clear. Misty: leave the body for just a moment to check out the corpse stockpile. Your excuse: to see what respectful and hygienic arrangements the fort has made and figure out where you'll put Darkerdaffodil. Our excuse: desensitization training.

That works. If you'd like, you could learn the below format by hitting the "Quote" button on my post and looking at the code:
Link to my blog (http://randomizedthinker.tumblr.com/post/110457660658/a-young-dwarf-stands-in-her-room-today-is-the)
(Only it's not my blog, but your blog.) Hitting the "hyperlink" button in your message editor won't do that for you: it'll just create "url" and "/url" tags. It's up to you to put "=" in the right spot and type your link.
And welcome. I just love games like these.

Realize that you won't know if/when Darkerdaffodil is reincarnated, because his body will still be here. So, there's nothing to wait for on that front. There's no reason to believe you've been heard or you haven't been heard; you just have to trust that Urist 306 will take care of it.
Finish your hauling job so you don't get yelled at, and then head down to the farms and see if the fortress already has a cheesemaker. Maybe you can spend some time apprenticing in your downtime?

To be honest, there are elements of the story that would, on the surface, make it boring, almost repellent, to many readers. I mean, a young stubborn teenager wants to run away from home to make cheese. That doesn't sound like a winner to me! (good luck selling that story in Hollywood...) And yet... here we are!

You don't need divine intervention anyways. Yes, your friend got killed, and...yes, he was a...a heathen, but that's okay. It's all okay, you're a grown-up, and you're at Shielddawn, and right now you're a hauler, but you'll work your way up, you'll see! You'll be a cheesemaker, and you'll make new friends who don't get killed right away. And, and the Queen - yeah, the Queen will be so impressed by how great you haul everything and make cheese that she'll make you one of the Royal Cheesemakers of the Royal Cheesemaker Corps, and you'll get your own bedroom and a Royal Backpack and everything will be okay and no one will make you feel like a kid again!
You're an adult, and they need to treat you like one, even...even if the Cowsea and Urist won't answer you, and even - even if your dad wouldn't let you leave, and even if you needed saving that one time, and even if you can't stop freaking crying okay???

I think Misty's only survived something like six hours.
Yeah, I don't recall any night-scenes or timecards, but based on that map, it seems like they'd have to have been on the road for more than a day. I figure it was morning of the second day when they met the elves. Besides, she's likely been at Shielddawn for at least six hours, because of three reasons:
1) Corpses are heavy, even if their previous owner was dainty.
2) In most forts I've played, it takes about an in-game day to haul three objects from the Depot to their correct stockpile. ( On average. )
3) Fortress mode time is considerably faster than Adventure mode time.
Bonus reason: Misty is probably below average in strength, which even given her High Agility, would mean that she would be greatly encumbered by hauling an object that is assumable to be at least her size.
Not related to timeline speculation: I really like how you deconstruct and bring harsh realism to everything we players take for granted. Which is why:
Misty observes a forgotten beast attack, A vile force of Darkness arrives, or the Dead Rise
I want to see such pedestrian, blassé, events become horrifying and seen through the eyes of a little girl... To rightly see just how much these things would actually effect the dwarves.

It's PREHENSILE BODY HAIR.
The tiny black hairs on every inch of their horrible dwarf bodies actively clutch at the fabric, and hold it on tightly.
This is also why they are able to grasp with a lower leg, and how they can mysteriously hold on to a weapon, a shield, two crutches, AND a mining pick, all at the same time!

Yes, they do drop everything: a corpse is an item-thingy, and is not a container. Therefore, it cannot store clothing/equipment.

Misty: Try to sneak Darkerdaffodil's body down into the catacombs and appropriate a coffin to give him a proper burial. Maybe put a bag over his head on the way down, so that if there's anyone else alive in the catacombs (like, say, nuns delivering severed smith heads) they hopefully won't notice that it's an elf body. Elf or not, a friend deserves a better fate than the garbage pile.
It occurs to me that since the fortress is between overseers right now, there might not be an obvious person for people to complain to or check in with until the new one gets settled in. A hauler could probably get away with a *lot* right now, just by acting like they were supposed to be doing whatever it was that they were doing.
If, y'know, said hauler wasn't the absolute *worst* liar in the world, like certain cheesemakers that spring to mind.

She's starting in on chapter 4. Let's follow her awhile. Misty: run on until you find a nice comforting lever room.

It's been a trial-by-fire so far, and if I come through this unscathed and actually manage to pick up competency in my course material, then I don't think anything will faze me again until senior year. And I can't afford to drop classes at this point. :| If anyone's been wondering why I've been acting so strange and randomly disappearing, that's what's up.

Personally, I think we have a good cliffhanger for Misty at the moment. I feel we can move onto a different character for the moment. A good "MEANWHILE" scene would be cool with me.
But whatever happens, I'm good with it. I'm just happy you're still doing this.

I really am not for the idea of a bad guy right now. Honestly, the direction the story is going is perfect.
When this series started, Misty was as innocent as a young dwarf could be. Then we begin to see her develop into maturity. She's facing the truths of the world she lives in and recognizing different cultures, religions, lifestyles, and had even become friends with an elf. But over the majority of the series, she's remained innocent.
Now she has just witnessed a slaughter. A group of innocent, sentient beings killed in cold blood because of their race and way of life. Her friend was killed in front of her. To add to all of this, she had to drag his corpse to a giant, ungraceful pile of refuse. Before, she had only faced the fact there were different people in the world. Now she sees the horrors of real life. Some people hate those who aren't the same as them, and will kill for that reason alone.
Watching her transformation so far has been interesting enough, and now we get to see her react to all of this even further. She'll have to choose a side, Hate those everyone hates, or be rebellious toward the ancient dwarven way.
This is perfect for now, as it is showing an incredibly deep story set within a game that, if it were to happen, you would ignore. Also, having the story take place inside of one fortress (For now.) is perfect, because we can see the intensity of the dilemmas that happen inside.
Post by: CaptainMcClellan on March 01, 2015, 03:49:31 pm
That's certainly one interpretation of the current events. However to say that the motivation for killing the elves is hatred, I think, is a bit much. It's simply pragmatism. Once these trading elves got back to the treehomes, any mention of Shielddawn's treatment of trees would lead to a siege.How about a compromise?

But over the majority of the series, she's remained innocent.
Now she has just witnessed a slaughter. A group of innocent, sentient beings killed in cold blood because of their race and way of life. Her friend was killed in front of her. To add to all of this, she had to drag his corpse to a giant, ungraceful pile of refuse. Before, she had only faced the fact there were different people in the world. Now she sees the horrors of real life. Some people hate those who aren't the same as them, and will kill for that reason alone.
Watching her transformation so far has been interesting enough, and now we get to see her react to all of this even further. She'll have to choose a side, Hate those everyone hates, or be rebellious toward the ancient dwarven way.
This is perfect for now, as it is showing an incredibly deep story set within a game that, if it were to happen, you would ignore. Also, having the story take place inside of one fortress (For now.) is perfect, because we can see the intensity of the dilemmas that happen inside.

Which would, in turn, lead to the slaughter of hundreds more elves. Really, it's best for everyone this way...That's certainly one interpretation of the current events. However to say that the motivation for killing the elves is hatred, I think, is a bit much. It's simply pragmatism. Once these trading elves got back to the treehomes, any mention of Shielddawn's treatment of trees would lead to a siege.How about a compromise? One more update with Misty, then we'll go check up on Reg.Ok, please make an interlude with the necromancer. Just one picture, ominous looking guy, you only see the back, he is rubbing his hands, saying "muhahah, and so it begins". :P
It's an interactive story, guys. I want to make sure you have an appropriate amount of influence on how the story goes.
After all we need a bad guy, don't we? So far it's Misty being a normal migrant, nothing out of the ordinary. Dead elf merchants, hauling, people not caring about deaths...
I really am not for the idea of a bad guy right now. Honestly, the direction the story is going is perfect.

Nope.
Edit: at least, not a major one. Any time the camera switches away, time is still progressing linearly. If we check up on Reg for three hours, then three hours passes for Misty And vice versa.

I want to see such pedestrian, blassé, events become horrifying and seen through the eyes of a little girl... To rightly see just how much these things would actually effect the dwarves.
It doesn't even have to be the eyes of a little girl, just to see the events happen in a more realistic portrayal than ascii tiles would probably be enough...
Perhaps it will even encourage us to stop sending cannon fodders at problem without caring about the dozen of drowning citizen left and the starving nobles right.

Misty: Seek out Kulet Lokunnomel the Nun, decide you must make cheese. Right now, go find a farmer's workshop and make cheese. You need to make cheese to honor your god!
There definitely is going to be a lot of chaos - it will take some time for the new overseer to figure out how the fortress work. Plenty of time to sneakily make a few wheel of cheese...

EDIT: At some point, we should also have Reg actually encounter a kobold and take pity on it because of how gaunt and pathetic it is. Maybe even take it with her after slaughtering its entire family or something if it's very young.
+With kobolds' crazy fast life-cycle, it'll be an angsty teenager by the end of a year and a bitter conflicted adult with identity problems by the end of another.

I sympathize with that as a storm of inconvenience and some floundering in personal relationships have my comic on indefinite hiatus. I'd like to get around to it again before I die, but it won't be one of my life's great regrets if I don't, unlike some things more directly affected by the IRL issues. Besides that, as I understand it you are a sophomore in college, just speaking as a freshman I'm not surprised most of your time is gone. Don't worry, we all support you and will wait patiently (though not always without complaining ;p ) for your updates. Besides, it's a convenient way to build tension, even if you didn't mean it that way, which will only have us more floored when the next amazing installment comes in. ( At least, IMO. )

I'm honoured to be his acquaintance in that regard. ( I was around at the beginning of LCM and have been following it since, we've shot the breeze about webcomic creation a few times since then. ) As an unofficial member of the unofficial welcome club I'd like to say: Welcome friend! :D I hope your time on the forums is awesome, and encourage you to fish around more than just this splendiforous thread for even more awesome adventures. I am glad to hear that you've already taken a shot at playing Dwarf Fortress - if you like it alright, I'd recommend finding and embedding yourself in a succession fort. If you don't have the time, try finding a community fort. ( If you're unfamiliar, think of it a suggestion based Fortress instead of a suggestion based comic. )

Second, I'd forgotten how priceless some of the comics from chapter 1 were.

You are the young girl hiding behind the animal pens.
You have recently snuck away from your Mountainhome to join the Glorious Dwarven Fortress of Shielddawn, and as it turns out that may have been a poor decision on your part.
So far you've witnessed six murders, the undead walking the earth, a garbage heap filled with bodies, and you've been relegated to hauling duties. It's all starting to take its toll on your fragile dwarven psyche. Yes, you came to Shielddawn to become the Greatest Cheesemaker in all of the Three Dwarven Kingdoms, but now it's starting to seem like maybe your dream was maybe just a tiny bit...foolish.

Welcome! New readers are always cool!
Prequel gave me the motivation to do my own story. TLCM probably wouldn't exist if I hadn't realized that other people did this sort of stuff.
Which links are broken? I was rushed and slapped them down in ten minutes.

Clearly Cowsea has taken mortal form to judge dwarfdom, that she might punish the wicked and reward the virtuous! Clearly it's not going very well.
Okay, first we need to raise an army of dairy workers. We'll call them... milkads? We'll get the next overseer to persecute them. Then Cowsea will cloud his mind: He said he'd never take a MILK ANIMAL job? Delirious, he won't be able to resist. He'll follow them down to the farming levels to spy on their rituals, where his own mother (mistaking him for a Lion (-tame-)), will tear him apart with her bare hands in a butcher's workshop. Then Cowsea can give a little speech, banish some folks, and the rest of the dwarves can learn to ferment milk. It worked for Dionysus, it'll probably

It could be a noscript issue.Seeing as you probably know more about Noscript than me do you know any good reason to get it? What it does to me is prevent all JS to be executed unless you explicitly allow it to, which if you don't do it takes away the functionality of 80% of sites on the web. :/ It says it's a security measure, but quite a drastic one. To my, that is, ungrounded views, which I am open to change right now.

I think it's a matter of whether tumblr is whitelisted or not.
Post by: Rexfelum on April 01, 2015, 07:41:16 pm
Noscript is good for preventing nosy scripts and trackers like Google analytics. It's easy to whitelist or temporarily whitelist sites. It's also effective for blocking the most annoying of ads.
I would argue that NoScript makes many sites usable. I see almost no ads, and it's amazing how much improved a page is when all you see is the content you want.
So you just allow the script for the basic page, leave the ad servers in their default disallowed state, and go.

AdBlock is better for blocking ads than noscript, as it also allows non-intrusive ads and thus still support the income of webmasters who actually care about intrusive ads.Noscript is good for preventing nosy scripts and trackers like Google analytics.

The benefits of noscript to me are twofold:
1. Not all viruses are contained in ads. Malicious code comes in many forms, and the best way to avoid it is to preemptively block any code from running that you don't know what it is.
2. Some sites are just overloaded with Javascript that you just plain don't care about, so NoScript improves their performance.

1. Not all viruses are contained in ads. Malicious code comes in many forms, and the best way to avoid it is to preemptively block any code from running that you don't know what it is.For windows, this would indeed be true, although I have linux which pretty much simply blocks all attempts to install software unless an administrator gave it the password. But on windows many antivirus programs will prevent that from happening, and some modern browsers even have this kind of security built in their JS engine core. But that still doesn't mean noscript wouldn't be a useful extra measure, you're right.
2. Some sites are just overloaded with Javascript that you just plain don't care about, so NoScript improves their performance.That's also pretty true. I use adblock for pretty much all sites unless I like their webmaster or the stuff they make (mostly games), know that they won't run malicious or intrusive ads, AND know that letting (at least some of) their ads run for me won't slow down the page. For newgrounds this is a problem as I would have disabled adblock for them but letting them all run would slow down the performance of the games I play there so much, although I would let a select few ads run. But I can't do that :/

(... resisting the urge to voice my Strong Opinions about the rest of the NoScript discussion)
A question: Are all the people having problems loading the images using Firefox? If so, what version & platform? I encountered severe problems with Firefox 37 on 32-bit Linux that seem to be caused by animated GIFs and that, once they start, fit what I've heard of everyone's problems except the person who saw 403 errors. These problems aren't happening with 36.0.4 or with 31.6.0esr. [edited to add: nor do they seem to happen on 64-bit, although I haven't spent as much time on my desktop or my work PC as I have on my nine-year-old 32-bit-only laptop]
If you can't see Misty and you're not on Firefox, what browser are you on and can you tell (with tcpdump, etc) what happens when your browser tries to load the pictures?

Bonus points if Misty also accidentally opens the door to the 3rd cavern layer letting a forgotten beast in. What a way for shielddawn to fall, forgotten beast, elves, and rebelling plump helmet men.New ideas always welcome :D.

You can totally upload nsfw images to imgur, you'll only catch a ban if you upload them to the gallery.All the young kids are using tumblr these days.Tumblr is also the one safe place on the internet where you can store your NSFW art without risking a ban or something.

I’ve been using tumblr to host the images for TLCM, but the links keep breaking. For some reason the image locations keep changing? For example,
36.media.tumblr.com/etc
will change to
41.media.tumblr.com/etc
Does anyone know a fix for this, or is tumblr just as useless as I’d always believed it was? Does anyone know any good sites that aren't prone to broken links? Turns out tumblr was a poor choice, and I know that imgur will drop images if they're not accessed frequently enough.

That's probably because they moved the pictures into a new folder while they were reorganizing and then forgot to redo the img tags on the fourms. In something like this thread, I don't think that would be a problem. The readers would certainly point it out if it did.

I think that went away when they dropped their pro account options:

I can only assume she takes it off and re-don's it repeatedly throughout the story. Plus all of chapter 1 and half of chapter 2 is just me trying to nail down an art style. It's so god damn awful.

Did you know that I take it for granted you'd "just flip the sprite"? A generation ago the idea began as a cheap way to reduce effort. Then it was a joke about cheap ways to reduce effort. Then it achieved that rare status of "joke that's repeated so much that people take it as normal."

Sadly, it won't be for a while. Maybe ten pages from now...so about two(?) months, if fate is kind (AKA if I have time to draw, and don't end up occupied doing stupid shit like rehosting the entire comic). Don't worry, I'll let everyone know a week or two in advance before the appearance.

I hate to say it, but if the sun is setting, you'll not get perfectly straight-down sunlight like that. Top picture shows the sun at the horizon, the shadow should fall in a steep angle. Second picture shows Reg & Holt next to the hole, the sun shines through it in a 90° angle to the floor, so it's around noon.
Perhaps it's not sunlight, but just Inside Light Above Ground

I don't know... I think the fight with the night beast may have been transformative. Is she still going to flail around blindly? Not only can she see better now, but that kind of battle is how warriors are born.

After rereading the first two chapters, it occurs to me that the Necromancer might not really be all that evil after all? I mean... He was just using zombies as labor because zombies don't have feelings and what-not. Kind of like how we use robots. Granted, there's no telling exactly why he was building the road, but still...<hipster>I had this idea before it was cool. </hipster>
EDIT: At some point, we should also have Reg actually encounter a kobold and take pity on it because of how gaunt and pathetic it is. Maybe even take it with her after slaughtering its entire family or something if it's very young.
+With kobolds' crazy fast life-cycle, it'll be an angsty teenager by the end of a year and a bitter conflicted adult with identity problems by the end of another.
That said, eS, this would be the perfect time for kobolds! :D

I've also decided to try doing shorter, more frequent updates rather than huge, non-sprite updates of a dozen images all at once. They end up burning me out, taking an inappropriate amount of time to draw, and honestly I'm not sure the pay-off is worth the extra wait. It's finals week next week, but if the next update is only a couple of sprite pages I'm sure I can squeeze a couple out each week.

Hey, what? Dude, this is backwards. If you've ever followed webcomics or other free art online, you've seen 1) delays, 2) creators who were better or worse at communicating about delays, and 3) the occasional false sense of entitlement. You communicated about your delay from start to end, which is the most that any fan could ask. And your fans were cheerful the whole time! You're fine.

We could also correct his incorrect spelling of 'battery' as 'batter'.I think that the y key on my iPad keyboard is broken.
Or we could mock him for proposing a magma-battery-driven car as a realistic idea.

Simple, you fill a tank with magma after coating the insides of the tank with thermoelectric materials.You do realize that ramjets can only be used in very, very fast aircraft, right?Or a magma-propelled aircraft or spacecraft.
Ok, so if we add an extra six months to the deadline, could you create an amphibious magma-propelled ATV? Preferably one with a ramjet attached.
They don't use mechanical components. Because at the speeds ramjets are well-suited for, mechanical components are another liability.
OK, done with the engineering complaint.
How do you make something that runs on MAGMA? Not in DF, of course. In DF, everything runs on either water power, magma power, or beard/alchohol power. The last two are pretty much the same thing.
Use mechanisms. What kind of engineer are you. :-\
Also, It is quite preferable for the chassis of this artifact-quality feat of mechanical artisanship to be a Ferrari.

I pictured Reg strutting around with a kobold kid sitting on her head, still alive, while other kobolds stand there looking more confused than usual.
Perhaps wrapped about her head like headband, looking confused?

Indeed. The captain has either a short sword or a dagger (you could call it either one), and Reg has a long sword. I'm guessing they've got a lot more skill with sword than hammer.

Yah, let's compare the sword to the one Reg currently has and then take the helmet for just in case. Also search for things to chuck.Take the hammer; it's a much dwarfier weapon than a sword.I think the reason he has a sword in the first place, is because that's his preferred weapon of choice.
Indeed. The captain has either a short sword or a dagger (you could call it either one), and Reg has a long sword. I'm guessing they've got a lot more skill with sword than hammer. They should definitely stick with the weapons they're used to. It's too dangerous out here to be learning a new weapon skill from Dabbling.

Listen to Holt. This doesn't seem much like armor anyway.perhaps it has killed some of their dwarves and a reward could be claimed.

Actually, there's a question: how far ahead were the zombies? Reg and Holt fell somewhere in a forest, and we only started seeing trees (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=136384.msg5414852#msg5414852) shortly before the zombie encounter. And there're more explanations for zombies than just the necromancer, you know. Say, the evil road (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=136384.msg5553884#msg5553884), which clearly has necro-powers.

That's a good question. Fungi in general are known to reproduce through both mitosis and meiosis. Mushroom people probably have enough humanization (as discussed in this thread (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=151534.0)) that they probably can reproduce in a animal-like manner as well as shooting all their spores everywhere. Stay safe around mushroom people.

If they were magically raised as ThreeToe said in Root, Ace posed a good point of how humanized the wizards could make their victims. Since there's no canonical evidence for reproduction in DF (thankfully), I'm siding with Ace in saying that the Helmet men are very much more human than mushroom.

First, mushrooms spray out a ridiculous amount of tiny spores. Only a minute faction manage to "take root" and succeed, but there are so many of them that this still work. It's the opposite of say, elephants who have few offsprings, but most survive to adulthood. (in biology we call this the r and the k strategies).
So if the plumpmen can infect humans, dwarves etc with their spores, or otherwise take over their community... it might explain their fatalism. Only a few need to succeed - if the majority die before that, it doesn't matter, as long as the community is overtaken in the end.

Plump Helmet Men reproduce in the same way as most creatures: from a male encountering a female. They typically have between 5 and 10 babies per litter.
What? And I've been letting them be on chains together in the zoo? And soon I'll have to work out a lag-free way to dispose of up to 25 little tykes? Does stuff locked away deep underground in a forbidden area in a cage produce lag?

Misty being here is illegal and chances are if rig and holt don't find her fast enough the DUKE gonna either assume she been kidnap by a night troll.
the next thing Rig and Holt should do is find a hamlet and rally up a search party for misty and get clues to where she might be then check out the orks.

I feel like we need fanart of Misty reading a book version of Littlest Cheesemaker...
Can you imagine if Skynet evolved from the Dwarf Fortress Forums? The Terminator would have been made of mermaid bones and be shaped like a carp.

Can you imagine if Skynet evolved from the Dwarf Fortress Forums? The Terminator would have been made of mermaid bones and be shaped like a carp.With trunk and tusks.
I'll exploit the moment to repeat my suggestions:
Misty: adopt the Holy Cow as pet.
Reg: stay til dawn in the lair, so you both could sleep, and the boogeymen couldn't get you.

I want to post the heavy breathing/waiting intensifies cat gif, but too lazy to search for it. So a simple reminder of it will have to do.
I just want to say that I'm still watching and that I believe I started that minor catsplosion however many pages back. I definitely contributed if I didn't start it.

Modded anatomy can go horribly wrong. Adding modded interactions has the potential to make it horrifying beyond even 4chan levels. At least the mermaid farm business was simple greed.
But that's how I got into modding! Okay, first I froze in terror then I started modding.
But seriously, 'meat' is not a trigger word, so let's change the subject. How long it will take Reg and Holt to reach Shielddawn? Because it feels like they are a stone throw away.

Misty's journey from the capital to Shielddawn took less than a day. (I believe that was mentioned somewhere in the story after her arrival.) So Reg and Holt should be even closer.

Wonderfully... concise langauge, German.Silly English-speaking people, force me to look up the source of that specific saying. Apparently it's reverse psychology to trick fate.
*Gulps*
There is also „Holm- und Rippenbruch“ (Airforce, meaning parts of the airplane breaking), „Kopf- und Bauchschuss“ (Military, means Head- and Stomach-hit) and „Mast- und Schotbruch“ (Boating, meaning Mast- and hull break) Perfect.
Strange that I've been in the German military and have never heard anyone wishing anyone a head- and stomach hit. :/
So, enough of the German lesson, lets keep on pestering EvictedSaint to draw stuff so that we can gawk at art. ;)

Sorry about that, it's easy to miss small details when I'm storyboarding. I was so excited about showing off Reg's new design I'd completely forgot about it.

MY INTELLIGENCE... I didn't notice you had edited the old one and it took me longer than I care to admit to notice the urls were the same when I flipped back and forth (opened both in new tabs) ...
Also yeah, the art has a neat pencil/paintbrush type grittiness to the backgrounds which leads to a really recognizable style that fits the setting well. It's interesting how you mix the more serious action/framing/setting panels in with the more lighthearted style you started with.

Yeah . . . wow, there's a clear difference in visual quality as you go to the newer sprite. You said you'd wanted to improve your art as you went; Reg's new design just looks cleaner. With that in mind, there's only one thing to do.
Holt: Find some way to accessorize and thus prompt a sprite update.

Post by: Aslandus on September 20, 2015, 02:19:33 pm
Just out of interest, why do some people sign their posts?I assume the typing out a signature is a holdover from a different forum that doesn't stick your name onto the top of your posts, or just a mark of "professionalism" since professional emails are supposed to take a similar form to a letter written via computer. It usually just looks weird on these forums.

Before we stumble over ourself, do something stupid, and cut the scene short,* gotta get this in:
Misty: Ride holy cow like a mechanical bull.
--Rexfelum
* Not to say MY suggestion would achieve different ends.
Offer to kill Cowsea's avatar if it would help.
Well, if killing the avatar helps, then anything we do to make her look like a crazed animal that needs to be put down would help, though we should aim for the most humane death possible.
Post by: Sanctume on October 29, 2015, 11:18:21 am
Wise Bookfire, the Goddess of Knowledge and Rage, who has bestowed insight and madness upon those who draw her eye or ire,
Enchanting Cakewine, the Goddess of Deception and Drink, who delights in leading wandering adventurers astray,
Stoic Sunshield, the God of Children and Protection, who blesses the children of his followers and shields those who bear his sigil,
Bloody Stonetusk, the God of Fortresses and Conquest, the bloodiest of the seven and patron of Shielddawn itself,
Glittering Golddug, the Goddess of Wealth and Gems, who guides the hand of miners in the dark tunnels and brings them to the riches below,
Inconstant Urist CCCVI, God of Suicide and Reincarnation, who takes his own life at the end of each year only to be born anew the next,
And Humble Cowsea, Goddess of Cheese and Cattle, who keeps milk from spoil and the beast of the field docile.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Stonetusk is clearly an evil elephant. Misty only needs to have Cheesemaker skill as highest moodable skill, and gets possessed by Cowsea to become Legendary Cheesemaker.
After that goal, Misty needs to just increase social skills and become Mayor of Shielddawn and mandate the prohibition of cheese exports, as well as creation of more cheese.
After Mayor, baroness or dutchess may be within easy grasp for Misty.

So maybe a Fey mood instead of Possession for Armorsmithing then like her Dad, but she uses Cheese as the main item, so she will create the first Cheese Helm.
Post by: cochramd on October 29, 2015, 02:15:16 pm
No, no, no. A dwarf can only have 1 strange mood in their lifetime; we can't afford the one strange mood in our life producing anything other than an artifact cheese wheel. If it were a choice between being possessed and never ever having a strange mood, then being possessed would be the better option, but as it stand we're better off holding out for a non-possession strange mood that will provide us experience. That said, in the distant but foreseeable future we might need to take action to make sure that we get a strange mood (making sure the maximum number of artifacts is not reached/increased beyond the current number of artifacts, making sure there is always 20 moodable dwarfs around)Stonetusk is clearly an evil elephant.

The only way Misty can ensure a minimum of 20 moodable dwarfs would be to get married and start poppin' babies. I think that's getting rather ahead of ourselves.
Post by: cochramd on October 29, 2015, 02:28:30 pm
Well, we ARE and adult now. Even if gaining political power and assigning dwarfs to moodable tasks to ensure a constant moodable population is something we can't do, getting married and popping babies is something we can work at. And besides, every dwarf not with a non-military profession is eligible, so all we need to do is make sure there are always 20 civilians (including ourselves) who haven't been in a strange mood yet. And we've got 138-158 years to wait for a strange mood.That said, in the distant but foreseeable future we might need to take action to make sure that we get a strange mood (making sure the maximum number of artifacts is not reached/increased beyond the current number of artifacts, making sure there is always 20 moodable dwarfs around)

It's a bit awkward to make suggestions, since the last scene ended with Misty questioning the godhood of Cowsea's physical form. The ball is in Cowsea's court, as it were.
Just because your suggestion doesn't come up immediately in the next update doesn't mean they're not considered! I use most of suggestions within two or three updates - sometimes they even span chapters. Cowsea, for example, was from a suggestion in chapter 1 to "get a cow". Don't let silly things like "plot" or "common sense" stop you from making a suggestion, guys.

Misty's faith isn't based on rational analysis. It's based on cheese! And whatever this forum's reason was for picking the god of suicide, which I don't remember.I think it was because he is also associated with reincarnation, and Misty was making a new beginning (which is basically the same thing) at ShieldDawn.
Post by: expwnent on November 06, 2015, 03:13:27 pm
Misty, remember that she is in line to be overseer, so plot with Cowsea to eliminate all those above here in the order so she can turn the fortress in to a Cowsea-worshiping farming/milking/cheese making paradise.

Post by: Aslandus on November 06, 2015, 03:58:33 pm
If a god is too unpopular they might not have the strength to respond. If a god is too popular, they get too many prayers to respond to. Rationally one should pick a medium popularity god if possible.
Actually if everyone followed rational god selection then each god would already have about a medium number of followers until they start to all have too many, at which point maybe a new god would pop up. I think it would work surprisingly well.But if they get more powerful, then they would likely be able to handle their followers, presumably a "medium" number of followers would depend on the god, a powerful god gaining more followers while a lesser god had to work with fewer until they gained more power.
Sort of a chicken-and-egg scenario, do they gain power because they are popular or do they gain popularity because they have power?

I disagree. Requiring someone to read something they should be required to read only causes them to despise it and shun everything related to it, even when perfectly applicable to the situation and even when they've been bettered as a result. Instead, just insure it's on every shelf and let those that willst gravitate to what they ought.This reminds me of the book "small gods" be Terry Pratchet

Wait, that sounded cleaner in my mind.
Also, happy birthday! Do not stress yourself to make an update for this day, it's a day you should receive gifts instead.

Isn't it neat that your birthday is the same day as the Armistice?

What's the material value multiplier for Cow God Cheese? Could be a serious economy item.
Talk a cook into grabbing some 3xCow God cheese, 1xFlour, and crafting a cheese roast, and you've invented nachos!

Excellent birthday to you, good sir, and if you're in the habit of handing out gifts to all that ask, could you tell us if a certain fort or DF experience gave birth or affected TLCM in any major way?
It's based strongly off a fort I had once, and influenced by about a dozen other forts I had in both Vanilla and MW (for example, sewers flooding and blocking off all the lower levels, trade depot fiasco's, HERT squads, fortress design, some stuff we haven't reached in the story yet, etc). I might do a one-page quick and dirty little strip about BannerBuckets, one of my first forts and a failed Fortress in-universe. It'd be a fun way to show the dangers of overly ambitious fort design and have a little bit of world-building in the process.
I hope you have a happy birthday.

Literally everyone in America knows about Veterans Day, friend. :P
Yes, 11/11 is a neat day to have as a birthday for a multitude of reasons! Thank you so much for the birthday wishes, both you and everyone else! ^_^
I'm feeling generous, so if there's any details about the story you want to know, I'll answer them (provided they don't spoil the story).

Super hard to churn out regular updates when I've got KSP updating to 1.0.4, Fallout 4 coming out, and a project at work I'm desperately trying to get finished.
I like the order you listed your priorities.
But yeah, don't take time away from your birthday unless you were already planning to do so. Of course, if you DID want to pass the day chatting about videogame dwarves and deity cheeses on the internet, who would I be to judge?
Misty: "Surely, there must be something you can do even in your mortal form that a normal cow could not....other than talking of course."
Go for it. Or some variant like "So . . . got any cool powers?"

Also, tactfully inquire as to how her obvious divine might affects her current physical form. Would her milk be any more holy and delicious than truly mortal cow milk, for instance? Would an artifact crafted with her bones glow with the radiance of her true nature? Would any offspring she bears inherit any of her divine will or delectable flavor?

Say that it would probably take time and a lot of effort, but you could at least try your best.Misty: "So, does anyone else here worship you, or does your brother get ALL the attention around here?" Also, it might be a good idea to consult the nun on this.

This is a surprisingly relevant suggestion. How dare you be relevant in a suggestion game?
But yeah, though it may anger the God to keep talking, ask for help in making awesome cheese so as to impress converts. If Cowsea won't even help herself out here . . .

1. Go get a bucket make some freakin' god-milk cheese already. (What player would pass up that for a fortress)
2. Find a chef in the process of preparing a lavish meal.
3. Insert All The Cheese into their cooking process.
4. Notify the overseer of the immense trade value of the newly created Planepacked food.
5. ShieldDawn moves to an economy supported by God Na'Cho's!
6. Build a Milking Temple to Cowsea
Then, I dunno, douse it all in magma or something. This is a player fort after all. God cheese nachos probably weren't meant for mortals anyway.

But! The exciting news I'd hinted at before!
Some very dear friends had chipped in and raised the cash to get a print of TLCM on lulu.com!!! It was a very sweet and very unexpected Christmas present, and I'm lucky to have such amazing friends. They compiled a pdf of the story so far (the first three chapters!) and have it set up to be printed. The great thing about this is that once it's published, additional prints can be done cheaply by anyone who would want one. So, if you had fifteen bucks burning a hole in your pocket, you could theoretically purchase the book once I've paid the initial fee to have it published! (And yes, I have cleared this with Toady). I've decided to wait until the end of this chapter (which is rapidly approaching) before I publish it. Even if no one buys it, then at least I can say I've published a book. u_u
And lastly, if there's not an update later tonight, please call the police because something terrible must have happened to me.

Technically if you're the only living member of the fortress, then the entire fortress will be worshippers of Cowsea... So you've just gotta get the entire population killed somehow...Negatory, too likely to result in self-termination.

Color modified to emphasize an imminently practical idea. Appraisal is helpful in Dwarf Fortress but even moreso in an RPG context.

Not that Cowsea's 'regular' milk isn't probably the best milk ever, but you probably need to prey to her first, maybe sacrifice some purring maggots or something before milking for maximum effect.

Well we're all happy to get an update at all, no matter when it gets here. Thanks so much for this, we appreciate you.Why do you always say "Update tonight", and then you fall silent for days?
I mean, hey, I understand if RealLife wants you to be "responsible" and an "adult", whatever that means, but still.
It's easy to be staring at six hundred lines of code at work and think, "I'll hammer out the next update as soon as I get home" but once I crawl back home around midnight it's a bit tougher.
That being said, I'm working on the last panel of the next update as we speak.

You eagerly hop the fence out of the cow pens. Your heart, once weighed down by the skulduggery nature of ShieldDawn, is now brimming with excitement. It seems like you can make a difference after all, and realize your dream of becoming a Legendary Cheesemaker to boot!
(http://i.imgur.com/km6oCQv.png) (http://i.imgur.com/km6oCQv.png)
Ah, the farmers workshop, located conveniently next door to the butchers workshop!
Inside stands everything a burgeoning young farmer needs to sharpen his skills and improve his or her workmanship. You can barely wait to be behind its gleaming countertops. You can already imagine the fine cheese you'll be crafting within this meager space; after all, you'll be working with the tools of the Gods themselves!!! How many cheesemakers can claim they've hewn their wheels of cheese from divine milk? You could be the first one in history to do so!

The interior looks even more resplendent than you'd even dared to imagine. Tools of every farm-related trade conceivable line the shelves, and even more are hidden away in the cupboards and boxes around you.
Barrels, boxes, bags and bowls, jackpots of jugs and jars, vials of vinegar and veterinarian vaccines - everything you could ever want could be found on these shelves.
Your task is practically completed already! You'll be cranking out cheese wheels like nobody's business in no time!

Actually, feels pretty unlikely there is made cheese of Cowsea's Milk - Every single Cheese Maker probably gets drafted into the Haulers, so nobody has the Cheese-Making job. At least officially...mhhh...
You might want to speak to other Haulers - You saw how Cheesemakers are considered simple Haulers, but there might be some kind of underground Cheese Making Circle! you just have to find it!

also those demons back then Didn't Hide their appearance of being a horrible animal shaped into form of a man they just said yo I'm a god(dess) and a bunch of folks believe it and some times imprisoned them.
that said DF is all about Bounding and befriending with Demons so that doesn't change our view with Cowsea.
so better grab a bucket and milk a goddess I mean atleast the talkative one would lead to a better learning experience than the others would would cave misty's head in.
Chances are if we don't make masterpiece milk/cheese we be sent to the mines or the arena pit that I'm sure all player forts would have.

Well, everyone has to start somewhere, right? You're pretty sure that the first step to cheese making involves milk. Luckily for you, it seems like one thing this workshop has plenty of is buckets! Here, this one will do just nicely.

Well, that's bad. Misty: After you do all that other stuff, expand the pasture area so the cows don't die so soon.
By the way, I think the rat is adorable. Given that vermin spontaneously appear and disappear, I'd love to see it teleporting all over the place in subsequent scenes. Rat: Appear on top of Misty's hat for no reason.

Now you add the culture. By which means the bacterial infested curds carried over from the previous cheese batch. In other words, utilize your dwarven heritage and such.It is a little-known fact that dwarven cheese cultures are stored in the beards, socks and mittens of dwarves.
For those interested, this also explains why the dwarven community feels compelled to make such exhaustive and heroic efforts to protect and preserve the latter two.

I thought this took place in a version of DF before grazing, but I could be remembering wrong.
The story began when the current Masterwork Mod was the one based on DF 0.34. There are pastures and grazing.
But don't be overly strict in trying to stick to the rules of Dwarf Fortress (or Masterwork). EvictedSaint has already said that he'll bend the rules if needed to suit the story.

Talked with a deity lately.
Made a friend recently.
Was upset that a criminal could not be properly punished. [The guy who killed daffodil.]
Has witnessed death recently.
Lost a friend/love interest to tragedy recently.
Forced to endure the decay of a friend/love interest.
All in all, her mood should be pretty, pretty low. The attack/death of Daffodil alone would probably give her a -70 to -100, which is huge. We can assume that her mood is somewhere around 30 me thinks, which would be "unhappy", and very close to "very unhappy"

The axedwarf who killed Daffodil was (a) female, and (b) just doing her job. It wasn't a murder, by dwarven law and custom. The elves may consider it an act of war, but that's an elven judgment, and Misty hasn't associated with elves long enough to start picking up their values.

I don't think the gender is all that important. It was a Guard-Dwarf clad in tons of armor, no more infos needed, they'll die next siege anyways :P Oh, wait, we're not in a succession fort, she might actaully survive a long time...
And to (b): It's not a crime by dwarven law, true. BUT it still wasn't necessary, and Misty has most likely ill feelings for that particular dwarf and would love to see her being punished.

In Misty's conversation with Datan (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=136384.msg5887018#msg5887018), it doesn't seem like Misty feels vengeful. I suppose she might change her mind later, but so far I'm not seeing it.

Put the milk into the bucket, take the bucket to the station, utilize the attached cheese tool that other dwarves use to make cheese in a day. Maybe be meticulous and try to get a high quality cheese.

I'm pretty sure neither Cowsea nor Misty is going to remember to pursue this bit of ominous foreshadowing concerning the queen until the day Misty returns to the mountainhome to meet with the queen, who will turn out to be a vampire demon necromancer night creature or something. Then she'll be all "Oh, this is what Cowsea was trying to warn me about!"

Spoiler alert. Cowsea was trying to warn her that the queen is made of cheese and presenting her a wheel of freshly made cheese is the same as presenting an elf a carved wooden figurine of a tree being chopped down.

That went over the line in the general direction of stupidity, and kept on going so far that it looped back around to being in the funny zone again, possibly taking a detour through "has to be true" territory. Unfortunately, it kept on going and went back into stupid territory where Ravenousambush The Deadly Majesty, a Jungle Titan that takes the form of a colossal fire breathing leopard with 8 legs and 6 eyes, swatted it down.

Clearly, the queen is just an ardent worshipper of Bloody Stonetusk who cannot tolerate differences in culture, lifestyle or appearance, is completely closed-minded and never changes her mind after forming an initial idea, disdains even the best advice of associates and family, relying strictly on her own counsel and tends to be a little tight with resources when working on projects. A long time ago, she realized that turning milk into cheese was an inefficient way of increasing the average value of the food supply so she decreed that it would simply never be done in Shielddawn again. Cowsea is warning us that the queen won't be very receptive to our gift which we made ourselves in her fort. In fact she might be offended....
But enough of that. Misty, go milk 4 more cows so that you can make a stack of 5 cheese in one job.

Right, you'll need a pot! Probably for boiling the cheese. That's a thing, right? Luckily the workshop seems to come equipped with an assortment of tools and other stuff you'll need for all your cheese-making shenanigans.
(http://imgur.com/A8Q8Rk1.png) (http://imgur.com/A8Q8Rk1.png)
You grab the biggest one just in case. You don't know how much cheese a bucket of milk will make, but you're prepared for however much you might churn out.
(http://imgur.com/eteZl62.png) (http://imgur.com/eteZl62.png)
You plop the pot down on the stove and turn back to the shelves. You'll probably need some lemons too - you recall hearing that somewhere before. Besides, they're yellow! Cheese is yellow too, so that must mean you're on the right track, right?
(http://imgur.com/FL8Bo5s.png) (http://imgur.com/FL8Bo5s.png)
You go ahead and drop one in the pot. One should be more than enough for a bucket of milk, right? You don't want to make your cheese too sour, since that would undoubtably be a novice mistake.
The lemon hits the bottom of the pot with a satisfying thud.
Alright! What else should you toss in before you pour in the milk?

I would like to apologize for disappearing so suddenly and without warning. Over the past few months I've found myself having trouble enjoying things that I've normally enjoyed or finding the motivation to do anything, and that included TLCM. Every time I sat down to finish the update I found myself dreading drawing it, and the whole...process, really. It seemed like a chore rather than a hobby. A week-long break became a month, and after a month it just...stretched on, and I've drawn pretty much nothing since the last update - TLCM related or not. During the past few weeks I've slowly started picking up my pen again, and I gotta say it feels...better. I don't know if I can keep to a weekly/semi-weekly schedule, but I think I could do shorter, sporadic updates.
Again, I'm really sorry for dropping out like that. I do plan to finish this Act of the story, which includes this chapter and three more. I think I'll take another break then, and see if the story warrants continuing. Until then, I'll make sure Misty's adventure continues to the end of her arc.

Feel the cheese. Be the cheese.
You are the cheese. You feel what the cheese feels.
You feel a large lump near your bottom. In your butt.
That lump in your butt is the lemon, at the bottom of the pot.
You know when you feel a large lump in your butt, you need to squeeze. SQUEEEZE tight and get that lump out.
You are the cheese.
Fish the lemon out of the milk and squeeze it. Get that lemon juice all out of the lemon, get it soft.
Squeeze, Misty.
Squeeze.
That feels good, doesn't it? Maybe squeeze one more lemon in there. You always feel better when it's more than one little lump.
You are a dwarf, Misty. Making cheese is in your soul.
Also add a little salt, because yum, salt.
Drink the beer, for Cowsea's sake. You're a dwarf. Beer is for drinking.
Maybe she'll get a rat first, but that just adds some protein, or maybe we get rat squeezings. Either way, it'll be cheese.

This is actually a good suggestion. You see, to make cow's milk cheese we need the stomach of a cow, so we can get the cow rennet from it. The best kinds of cheese are made with rennet from the kind of animal that made the milk, because its stomach has the best enzymes to digest that kind of milk. I'm positive a rat-were-cow would have the right kind of enzymes, while being smaller than a cow and easier for a twelve year old dwarf to kill and butcher...
Barring that, Misty could use fig extract, dried caper leaf, nettle, thistle, mallow, or creeping charlie tea. Some kinds of fungus also have rennet but they tend to make more bitter tasting cheese. I've personally noticed lots of caper leaf for sale from traders in DF, as well as figs in some biomes. I'd be willing to guess there is some caper leaf here somewhere.

As I wrote it, somehow I knew it would come to that. Plump helmet rennet probably makes excellent cheese. Do plump helmet men barf? Because Plumpy could barf in the milk and that would probably work.

It sounds like you might be suffering from depression. I can't say for sure, only you and a doctor or counselor can really figure that out. I just want you to know you're not alone, losing interest and or pleasure from things you've enjoyed in the past happens. I am glad you've picked TLCM back up again. I hope it's something you keep getting enjoyment out of. Please, if you feel alone, apathetic or like most things you love just aren't worth doing anymore, talk to a person you trust and who cares about you.

I just counted. I have 7 cheesemakers in my fortress... all of them... um dabbling. You only get a cheese making job every month, so I think I need to appoint a head cheesemaker if I want one of them to become legendary. I will see who has the passion for it :-)
I have really enjoyed the comic so far. I stayed up until midnight reading it. ES, don't stress too much about it. Long term projects like this have their ups and downs. You can get burned out from time to time, or you can find other things that strike your interest -- leaving you with too little time for your original project. In my experience, it's best to do as you have done and take a holiday -- for as long as you want/need.
I agree that Misty needs help from Plumpy. Lemon juice will produce a cheese with very small curds and it will be unsatisfactory. What she needs is renin. As it turns out, some *fungus* has been genetically engineered to produce renin... I'm just saying... After that, you need to slowly heat the milk. As the renin heats up, it breaks down, releasing acid. This slow, steady, even release of acid is what allows the milk to curdle with large curds.
Edit: I just realised that my information is redundant and was already discussed. That's what I get for reading at midnight :-P

We don't know how evicted Saint chooses which suggestions to incorporate into the story, but it's quite possible that repeated suggestions carry more weight. So redundancy is not necessarily useless.From memory, there's a similarity of characteristics in the suggestions that get in :O Though in my opinion from that, it's usually 'the theme from DF that's generally agreeable (as DF makes for good storytelling with details)', ' a reasonable plot point that is within reason for the characters to do', and 'the general consensus of the people as long as it's not off character and very unreasonable'. (Like that one blacksmith who got his head lopped off >_< It was within reason but... :-[)
Though direct hammyness won't be that much incorporated...at the present time, usually. :P Seems like ES is a narrator that saves these things in his plans too. But that's just me and my thoughts. I've been loving all this thus far.
Post by: GhostDwemer on November 11, 2016, 07:53:35 pm
Wait a minute. Did you guys know that Masterwork DF has "cheese men." Yup, just looked it up in the raws, definitely cheese men in the game.
Plumpy appears when the cheese making fails. He adds plump helmet juice to the bucket, and with the blessings of Cowsea, the two of them create a heroic Cheese Man, Avatar of Cowsea!
Post by: Silverybearded on November 12, 2016, 05:22:45 pm
Besides, we know that a cheesemaking job will always produce cheese, regardless of the maker's skill.
Therefore, even if Misty, oh I dunno... did a cute rain dance or something, we would still be successful.

As for what to put in the pot...
Remove lemon. (and mouse) While lemonjuice WILL cause clabbering, it is not what you want here (neither is mouse.). What you want is to scald the milk to kill bacteria/fungi, then add rennet.
There are many kinds of rennet, depending on where you sit on the dwarf/elf spectrum of squeemish. The traditional is made from an extractive of calf stomach. Very dwarven. For the elven inclined, there are a variety of vegetable rennets that can be used such as russian musk thistle juice.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rennet
Per wikipedia, this should be a nasty powdered extractive somewhere in the cabinet.
After coagulating the milk, filter and squeeze in cheese cloth, then quickly work in copious amounts of salt, and pack into the pressing form. Press the young cheese in the pressing form overnight.
Post by: Rexfelum on November 29, 2016, 07:52:52 am
Granted, it's in a liquid, not a powder. And it requires refrigeration. Something tells me there's enough variability that our littlest cheesemaker is in for a disappointing first run unless we get divine intervention/inspiration to make up for total lack of skill.

Milk can be brewed. (Not sure if it can in vanilla DF, but I think there is/was a mod where it was possible.)Can you brew cheese into alcohol?I would go by 39 fortress years = 1 irl week, and we're talking about godly aged cheese here.Would that even be any cheese left?

Also, to make cheese you need rennet, which is a fluid from the inside of a calf's stomach. It has to be a calf that has drunk nothing but milk. I... Um... Maybe you will need the godess - cow's calf's rennet to make the godly cheese... Is that how it works?

Milk can be brewed. (Not sure if it can in vanilla DF, but I think there is/was a mod where it was possible.)Milk fermentation is really complicated and requires multiple symbiotic organisms to break down the sugars into something that the yeast will ferment. In a practical sense, it is not possible to ferment cheese into alcohol because those complex organism do not live on cheese (making cheese has historically been a way of preserving milk, and it is quite robust against infection unless you cut it).
So I guess?
BTW, I'm also hoping to do some cheese making IRL this year. I've done it before and it was quite fun.

It has refined lactase added, which breaks down the lactose into more simple sugars. Enough that it tastes noticeably sweet. If you add vegetable rennet to cause curd formation, you could probably ferment the resulting whey pretty easily.
I bet it would taste horrible though.

Well when you think about it. Dwarves can milk maggots and make minced fly brains. So it wouldn't surprise me if they could brew alcohol from cheese.Milk can be brewed.

And remember old Norse/Scandinavian myth? Dwarves were master craftsmen who could make anything out of anything (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naglfar).

new reader, got through this storyduring my spare time the last 3 days, wonderfull, please continue
posting to mark Cowsea reaction when milked. When you correlate with her story, you will see that she has never been since incarnation!
IRL, a non-milked cow is quite noisy, and will die after a week (I think?) of such dire treatment.
no wonder she was pissed when first talked to, that much pain ought to be unlawfull.
Misty> go ask Cowsea's blessing before working on her Holy Milk
pray Whatshisname306 to be gotten the Power to transform said Milk into Holy Cheese (He is *Death and Reincarnation", so transformation is his too)
Mark the corral+workshop as temple for Cowsea ("i" zone, "m" meeting hall, "l" assign location", "a" add location, select location, "t" temple, choose deity "Cowsea"

First of all, I'm sorry about the false alarm (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=136384.msg7278911#msg7278911). I had honestly intended to finish up and post it that night, but life has a nasty habit of getting in the way. And on the subject of life getting in the way, mine has been rather interesting over the past few months. Got diagnosed with "moderate depression", put on some SSRI's, broke up with my girlfriend, got a job offer in another state, moved, had my wisdom teeth pulled...things are going a lot better for me, all things considered.
Second of all, thank you guys so much for your support. You're literally the best fans I could have ever asked for - I never thought Misty's adventures would become more than a few pages of crappy doodles in mspaint that came to a slow stop before she ever left the room, like so many other stories of this type. Yet here we are, with Misty actually completing her goal! She's actually making cheese. I am honestly shocked it got this far. What's more is that there's still adventure ahead (at least three chapters worth) so her story doesn't end here. And then there's Reg and Holt's story lines to considerand the plumphelmet man uprising that I can't leave unfinished...there's still story left to be told.
I guess the point here is that I'm eternally grateful to have you guys. Misty's story would not exist if no one was interested in hearing it - every person who's watched her journey so far has contributed to this tale just as much as I have. I'm sorry for leaving things hanging like that, but I promise you I'll do everything I can to keep it from happening again.still updates more often than prequel

Unless of course Misty makes cheese that is of standard quality, and attributes it to her inexperience and the holy milk evening out to make cheese that is of exceptional quality for a novice.
Thus she takes the cheese as a sign that she is a natural cheese maker and can make the finest Gouda that shall be

+1 to naming Smallerdaffodil, and praying (with claps of course) over the cheese.
edit: Actually, wait to name Smallerdaffodil until AFTER the cheese is made. Perhaps offer the rat some of the cheese to test its quality (maybe it looks and smells too hideous too eat, but turns out to be delicious), and THEN bestow a name as a reward for its help.

So . . .
Are we trying to help Misty succeed or fail hilariously? Because it's obvious that, without divine intervention, she's only going to succeed in making a fresh cheese at best, not an aged one such as is typically formed into a wheel. (And one could argue that the intervention of holy milk will, at best, save her only from lack-of-skill. It might not be enough to warp time.)
Yes, pray and clap hands. Also, since she's right there, go and ask Cowsea for help.

Did anyone else notice that Misty is now armed with some kind of kitchen knife in her vest?I did, and I didn't understand why she did that at all so I just did the "Don't ask, just accept" thing. I guess it's one of those bugs where dwarves claim random items and never touch them (particularly food).

Milk, lemon, and about 20-30 minutes of boiling are actually all the basic ingredients for several fresh cheeses, such as Paneer:
http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-paneer-cheese-in-30-minutes-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-57008
The lemon is normally peeled and squeezed with only the juice being added, though. Rennet would not do any harm and would lead to a different, firmer kind of cheese.
In short, would doing what Misty did yield Cheese? Yes, absolutely (the massive excess of Rennet would RAPIDLY solidify the cheese, no draining of Whey necessary).
But would it be even remotely palatable, or so disgusting as to be inedible (mainly due to adding WAY too much Rennet)- of that I'm not sure...

Northstar

Smallerdaffodil: Perch yourself somewhere on Misty to see the cheese.
Do a cheer because you smell the cheese.
Be hidden on Misty (like her hat or something) while she goes everywhere.

Well, it's refreshing to know there is a real-world reason behind current events.
Using Dwarf Fortress reason, it might even be edible, in the same way that well-minced gutter cruor is edible.
Which I'm not putting in suggestion colors for good reason.

I don't mean to be a heretic, but is it possible that Smallerdaffodil doesn't care for cheese? And/or is an incarnation of Bob seeking to use the cheese to steal Cowsea's power?
*GASP*
Misty, you must inspect this rat immediately for signs of suicidal thoughts, behaviors, actions, and/or a pulse.
Oh, and once you're done with that....
Feed the rat cheese anyway. We don't have time for weak-stomached vermin in this fort! We have to KEEL MOAR ELVESES. And if it turns out that this cheese is dangerous........................................................
Awwww crap this dwarf liked an elf. And elf with DAFFODIL in his name, no less! Guess we'll just feed the rat and deal with the liking of elves later.

I completely agree. But .. I think I have to disqualify it because it is not an upright rectangle (thus the big blank space). Now, if he wants to submit the same cover but with a different shape I think we would have a serious contender.

The barcode actually has the correct check digit for the code listed, which is impressive. Although, it does need to be one digit longer, and start with 978 rather than 987 to be a valid modern scannable ISBN barcode. Oh gods, work is bleeding over into my DF forum experience now.... T_T

Yes, you've made your first-ever cheese, and yes it is perfect in literally every way ever.
But you can't be a professional cheesemaker and a member of the Royal Cheesemakers if you get teary-eyed every time you cook up a cheesewheel.
Reign it back a bit, girl.
You got this.

And of course no cheesewheel is complete without the cheesemakers mark!
You need to imprint your symbol onto this cheese and proudly claim it as one of yours, so all who see your ☼Masterwork Cheese☼ will know just whose hand crafted it!
This cheese is made with Holy Milk, and you put so much time and effort into it!
Go on, mark it as your own!

So perfectly yellowed, with a nice perimeter of...blue stuff. It looks great!
Part of you wants to cut out a nice thick wedge and try it out, but it's a poor cheesemaker who eats up all her work.

Wow guys. The Little Cheesemaker stands as the last of the greats. All the others in here are long dead. Like wow, it's amazing at how small and stagnant our community has become compared to back then...

Former captain of the guard and axelord. She's been reassigned as farming manager because nobody wanted the job and she drew the short straw. This annoys her.
She is dutyful and enjoys fighting, but never really understood the whole irrational elf hate thing. She is very aggressive in conversation but really just wants everyone to do their best and be their best selves!
Not a twisted sociopath.

He was always a legendary-skilled Captain of the Guard with a lot of teaching skill to train other hopeful soldier dwarves, but when he eventually got too old or had a nerve injury or my wife decided it was time for him to settle down and have "little beards" he would be relegated to something prominent, like manager, broker, or (in one case) baron. My wife always thought of him as the nicest dwarf because he just wanted to keep all the other dwarves safe from mean goblins and the like and would save them no matter what.

The next page will feature a new dwarf. Please feel free to post a self-insert or fan character along with their name and a brief description, and it might get picked!
Sanctume Spiritstone is my first dwarf character back in circa 1999 from playing A Dwarf Cleric of Brell (a deity) in Sony's EverQuest.
He has green eyes, and yellow hair. At the end of his 6 years+ raiding career, he accumulated all sets of armors, and epic cleric quest weapon.
So normally he wielded a mace and plate armor set; and in the end the plate armor was colored purple for the clerics. And the epic cleric quest was a flail.
Sanctume played as one the main cleric in the guild, Knights of Eternal Good (KEG).
Sanctume role plays as a Dwarf "pimp" (or playdorf) of Riverdale, a halfling village in another continent. He always greets "Hello m'lady" to any h-babe (halfling babe, of halfling woman player). He also pursued all crafting skills, and maxed leveled blacksmith first.
Near the end of his career, Sanctume convinced two h-babes to marry him in the same ceremony in the only PvP arena zone of the server; and server GM announced the ceremony, making it a server-wide event.
His two wives are the head of their own guild; and the wedding reception concluded with them slaying Sanctume in the PvP arena. Fortunately for Sanctume, his cleric friends are guests to resurrect him.

Adequate Pump Operator, Dabbling Mechanic: Ben has spent his short time at ShieldDawn assigned to repeatedly operate one of the pumps that may be critical to keeping the entire fortress from flooding, or might be left around as an oversight by a prior overseer and nobody has noticed it yet. He dreams of setting up gears and machines and minecarts for every part of the fortress, from farming to forging to defense.

Also, as fond as I am for the concept of Bessy getting a beard stuck to her face, evictedSaint asked for a dwarf, and now I am reconsidering, and thinking that maybe evictedSaint's avatar-text is more concerning than weird's... not that I can complain with the soul-crushing void of my own avatar-space.

Once a Queen came to my fortress. Usually a monarch from a Mountainhome comes with a numerous retinue, that one was alone. Sodel Zaludalath Enas Titthal (Sodel Futurebolt The Doctrine of Playing), the Vampire Queen. More then 470 years old, more then a thousand kills. I really wonder what was her path to the crown.
I have neither saves nor screenshots left from that game, only one picture from Therapist. (Therapist shows her as a mayor but that's because she became a mayor too.)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I decided to get rid of forgotten beasts in sealed caverns (about 15 of them with different risk levels). I was quite a noob back then and decided to use good old doortrap with upright spears. It was almost a success. I killed almost all of them, but then...
I dig the tunnel to one of remaining beasts at the bottom of third cavern, the harrier made of flames. There was nothing to do in caverns for common haulers, i forbade all refuse or spiderweb gathering for the time. But what i didn't forseen that the Queen on the surface was bored from hunting usual boars and badgers, she was searching for challenge and she found it. At the bottom of third caverns level she smelled (well, sensed wit her vampire superpowers) a jabberer. Oh yes, that was a decent prey. She decended there before i could lock that damn door.
Just imagine a picture. A third cavern layer, carbonized bloodthornes everywhere, a thick layer of smoking ashes on the floor (beast caused constant fires in there), and from a manhole in the wall appears a legendary Vampire Queen - pale skin, sharp teeth, vampire appearance, artifact adamantine crown (i had a couple in a fortress, so she really could wear them). Masterpiece steel crossbow on her shoulder, steel bolts in the quiver. It is not impenetrable darkness in the cavern - pale gleams of fire dancing on the walls. She raises her head and sees a giant fire bird seven levels above.
One! A steel bolt rips off a bird's leg!
Two! A harrier screams in pain and falls down!
Three! While falling the beast spits a fireball which strikes just in the place where the Vampiress is standing!
Four! The Queen shoots another bolt that hits falling bird in the chest and the harrier explodes into pieces!
Five! Fire splatter flies asunder over walls and terraces of the cavern!
Six! Smoke clouds the whole scene.
Then smoke clears away a bit, the Queen turned into the living (undead?) torch comes out the fire, ascends the cavern ramp towards the forgotten beast's remains, says something with a scary grin and... falls down scattered in ashes.
Really, not even a corpse remained on the ground. I drowned her five dogs and buried them in her tomb, near her empty artifact coffin and a masterpiece memorial slab with her last words. "It is good hunting."

Thought I'd post this here as a thank you for the series so far. I've invented/discovered a way to make a cheese without rennet (or really any other obscure equipment, ingredients). It's meant to be a natural rind cheese and I've been aging it for almost 2 weeks now in my fridge. Yes, just like the series, I haven't tasted it yet, so it might be awful. But I'm hoping it's not. I call it Mistem cheese :-)I demand an update once it has been tasted.[/list]

Sorry for the image quality (I'm not a good photographer!). You can see I'm eating the one on the left. It has a slightly different recipe (I cheddared the curds first -- I decided it's not a good idea because it loses a lot of fat. You can see how much smaller it is than the rest). It is ridiculously good, though. Quite tart. A bit crumbly, but it has softened compared to the other ones I've eaten (again both with the cheddared technique). The *true* mistem cheese has yet to be tasted (the ones to the right). The large one on the right is made with 1 litre of homogenised milk. The others are made with 500 ml of non-homogenised milk. The skinny one on the left was made before I figured out how to make the mould (I used an Aeropress :-). I don't recommend it!) I forgot to mention that an advantage of the homogenised milk is that you get better yield -- about 170-180 grams per litre vs 140-150 grams per litre.
In the cheeses on the right, you may be able to see traces of red/pink/orange. This is brevibacterium linens mold. It rained for about 6 days straight when I made those cheeses and they never dried out before I put them in the fridge. As I said earlier, I'm not at all worried about it. I had thought that the rind was developing, but actually, eating the oldest one, I think it still might be a while yet. I might have to let these go a bit longer than 3 weeks (the 3 weeks was based on the youngest age that you might eat a Caerphilly, but that's not matured in the fridge, so accepted wisdom says that it may take twice as long -- we'll see).
If anybody would like to make this cheese and would like advice, etc feel free to ping me at my userid on gmail. When I finally open the *true* mistem cheese, I'll post another pic.
Again, thank you so much Evicted Saint for TLC. I often think about it even when it is in hibernation. It has made the world a better place!

And I'm sorry TheImmortalRyukan, for some reason production has not exceeded consumption in my fortress, so it never seems to make its way to the trade depot.

Anyway, that's all for now. I'll post more pics and info if people are interested in the next few weeks. BTW, I tried making a "washed curd" cheese with mesophilllic bateria which I was going to call "St. Evictus". I ate it young (after about 5 days). It was quite delicious, but not at all what I was going for, so I don't think it deserves the name. I'll have to experiment some more. I'm happy that I can make a mesophillic cheese with this technique (essentially adding buttermilk instead of yogurt and keeping the temp below 38C), but I have to experiment to find the best way of handling it. Today I'm making a mistem like cheese, but with cheddaring. Should be fun.

I said that, but I was wrong. It's actually a bacteria (as the name implies :-) ). In fact, it turns out that the role it plays in cheese making is to inhibit mold growth. Which may be important.... because I've come to the conclusion that Mistem cheese is not going to make a hard rind. The curds are not strong enough (and I probably should have realised that they wouldn't be). So possibly purposely attracting b. linens is the right thing to do... I don't have a massive problem with mold anyway, so at the moment it's moot, but it's kind of disappointing that I won't be able to make a nice multi-coloured crunchy rind (probably)...

All the better. Since "mold" is "fungus" anyway, weakening the banter.

Explaining a joke is never funny.
But it wasn't funny anyway, as the "fun guy = fungi" pun is older than either of us.

Explaining a joke is never funny.My line featured numerous instances of wordplay which involved replacing one word or phrase with another that had different meaning but similar appearance. If "fun guy" was consistent with every other instance of replacement, then it would have been written as "fungi". Given that it is inconsistent with every other instance of attempts at humour in the statement, it can be assumed that it was not an attempt at humour, in which case citing it as failed humour would be inappropriate. if the "exact phrasing" bit gets a laugh, would that be "canned laughter"?.

Just to terminate the puns, I have opened the last of the original *true* Mistem cheeses this week. I think it's 9 weeks old if I remember correctly. It's *awesome*. It's gotten quite hard -- almost like parmesan, but not quite. It's very salty (I have been cutting back on the salt in subsequent versions). I can't really describe the taste in terms of anything I've every had before... probably closest to something like an aged sheep's cheese. It's got a sharp flavour, but is quite pleasant. The non-homogenised version that I made is still around, but it's become a blue cheese :-) I struggled against if for a while, but gave up eventually. I tasted a bit and it also tastes really amazing (even if by accident). I've changed the recipe quite a bit as I've learned new things, and am still planning to make a website, but haven't done it yet.I'll have to try it sometime.

EvictedSaint, how much cheese would it cost to allow me to take some pics from the web comic to adorn the site? Or... Maybe I should wait until you can have a look to see if it is Misty worthy... All of my info/pics will be licensed under Creative Commons 0 -- essentially public domain, if it matters... Also, it's kind of embarrassing to ask because you might not like the idea and feel bad in saying "No". If that's the case, feel free to accidentally miss reading this post and I won't ask again :-)

Post by: Imic on August 24, 2018, 06:36:23 am
If she's kept down there, far away from everyone else, she might be a werewolf to stop spreading thr curse, but she could be a vampire and is being kept to protect the fortress, but the average player of dwarf fortress would take a subtle glee from unleashing a blood hungry noble to roam the tunnels and feed off the useless cheesemakers and diplomats that keep on showing up. It's more likely to be a vampire, but then Misty's death might not be assured, since the vampire would probably leave it for a while before murdering Misty and blaming it on the nearest cow, but as I said, the average player would just let the queen loose, albeit with a few door ps jept locked to prevent important people from being murdered, and then spin tales to the forums about how they didn't mean to do it, and that they hate the vampire for killing their best swordsman, but secretly... Laughing with phsychotic ecstacy, as they lead a 12 year old cheesmqker to their doom.So... Any theories as to the nature of the Queen?

Overseer/manager Uben(heee, a contributor is me!) looks he's been annoyed plenty of times recently, like choking on smoke, irritated by sleeping uneasily due to noise, and dejected at generally being unable to take it easy. Really, there's probably a dozen more things like that coming to the manager's attention all the time.
Oh well, then that's not too bad, but look at the blood and vomit everywhere! The poor guy might also be disgusted at smelling miasma.
Still not too bad, right? But to me, poor Uben looks like he might be the sort of dwarf who doesn't handle stress well. Maybe he even cracks easily under pressure. I bet there's a decent chance he is always tense and jittery.
A fortress can be a hard place for a dwarf like that. A very hard place indeed.
And, oh no! Uben was just in a strange and confusing argument with Misty! I'm sure he dislikes talking to somebody annoying. And she said she did something without orders, so now he's angry at being in an argument!
Soooo, what to do, what to do?
Maybe Misty should wander excitedly and aimlessly a little bit, just enough to peek behind doors or look around corners.
Those side halls are probably littered with bits and pieces of corpses of sapient creatures, and poor, stress-prone Uben might just end up being horrified! (x34*)
Misty would just be following orders. After all, she WAS tasked to corpse hauling, right?
*Depending on the point release. Supposedly that's fixed. I haven't checked.

The engraving behind Misty seems to relate to the fatal fall of X in season Y of year Z. I could be wrong. The depicted person could instead be reacting to the engraving behind the overseer/manager. However, I'm having a hard time discerning the parts in that image in order to say.
And here I was, thinking no one paid any attention to the engravings.

This is extremely non-suspicious and we should not suspect anything suspicious.
Should we wish not to enter the airlock, we should initiate an activity that takes automatic precedence under universal dwarven law. Like having a drink, or starting a party.
If this is the wrong version for parties, call it a prayer break instead!
Invite everybody, including the Queen, to your party. Serve Holy Cheese.
Actually, many of the dwarves here seem a bit on the downtrodden side. This is a great way to (re-)introduce Cowsea, who I'm sure is a more easygoing goddess and will not at all terrorize her worshippers into relentless labor if she gets into power.

Ermagersh guys it was just an offhand thing but now I really want to plan the Cowsea Renaissance Celebration or something. It can be Nautical-themed. Under the Cowsea. Finely-crafted cheese snacks. Cheese puns. Cheese puns everywhere.

But, though I just started, this story is adorable. I hope it doesn't get stupidly dark for the sake of it; there are plenty of stories like that, right now, and a relatively peaceful, cosy story about the greatest cheesemaker to ever live is about what I need in my life, right now.
(also, great avatar, evictedSaint!)
I won't comment much, since I'm still catching up (juuust finished chapter one), but even though I'm not really a fan of democracy-in-story-telling, you all do as you do. And of course, evictedSaint, please keep at it! I'll be rooting for lil' Wheeldream!

First of all, this is DF, and it will descend into the darkest depths of horror. That's what it does. It's like the return of Cthulu, you can only stave it off, never fully prevent or destroy it.
With all due respect, fellow goat-appreciator, I must dissent. For example, when Cthulhu arrives, all you have to do to survive is embrace the greasy tendrils of his batrachian countenance. Though I personally prefer the black goat with - wait, wait, we can discuss theology some other time! (Perhaps at the ruinous bas reliefs past the basalt pillars?) I mean to say that my forts are all peaceful places. I've come to accept I simply play DF in a very different way than most people. Perhaps I'm just a fan of the boring and predictable -
Second, it is super adorable. That never changes :3
Then all is well. :) I just want somebody's life not to suck, even if it's only a fictional character, ahaha... hah...
:S
Maybe best to leave off after chapter 1.
Truly, the kindness of the righteous, caring for your audience like this! Don't worry, though. I had a suspicion... I'll either power through with the force of increasingly unwieldy optimism, or go silent - but keep rooting for Misty. (Silently.) After all, like Dunamisdeos said, I'm the odd one, here; what I'm looking for probably doesn't exist.

This does not stop alligators from darting out of the lake to kill the one dwarf that every other dwarf is deep friends with, causing a tantrum spiral into violent anarchy that would make the city of Rapture slowly back away. It is unavoidable. It is your destiny. (https://i.gifer.com/Q7vk.gif)

And, Dunamisdeos... I would never try to change your mind, even as I scream 'NooOoooo, that's not true! That's impossible! NoOOOOOo!' and lose my hand to a rampaging burrowing annelid man. For one, I'm enjoying it a lot, for another, to each their own; even if, ahaha, well... So it goes. And, of course, I can't protect everything, or everyone. But it's nice to pretend, ahaha!..
Back to TLC, though, it's the only one I've actually bookmarked to read to completion in years, just saying!

So, what happened? evicted saint hasn't uploaded anything for about four months. Plus, Easter break is coming up, so it's probably a good time to work on the next panel if you haven't already.
Updating comics takes a lot of effort. Other projects and responsibilities can really slow progress down to a stand still. I'm confident that evictedSaint will update when it's the right time for him.

I don't know.
I checked the past issues of this comic and the Queen doesn't look much like anything from our home pantheon.
She does have an uncanny resemblance to some of the not wholly identified beings near the bottom of the chart in this post. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=136384.msg5270486#msg5270486)
But Misty shouldn't recognize that in character, she should just courageously and politely offer the Queen some cheese. Let's keep its sacredness on the down low, let the divine flavor speak for itself. That's a pun – see, fun times ahead. Big laughs. Ha. Ha.

Sorry I missed this earlier, BadLemon! It's Masterfully done - spindly dwarves, and Reg has that pear-shape going on. Will Holt and Reg ever return to the story? This tastefully bordered artpiece certainly makes it more likely! RIP poor helmet, Reg misses you terribly.

Misty takes stock of the situation first because this can be udderly problematic!
The golden rings grazes towards a common field to Cowsea.
There is no beef between them yet, and this creature surely can smell bull.
Misty will not want to steer this wrong, and must milk it for all it’s worth.
A cow-culated line will be moo-sic to its ears...
"Greetings! May the milk of Cowsea bless this meeting, would you like a taste of the holy cheese?"

These words have been in the first post for awhile:
Blessed are the Cheesemakers,
for they need it the most
A few years ago, I lived near some sort of Biblical bookstore in the middle of a bunch of other stores. One day, somebody in the store decided to be quirky. This unknown individual wrote a multiple choice quiz on the front glass with "Blessed are the ______ " followed by options a, b, c, and d. The false options were all silly. One of them was "cheesemakers."
I never did catch anybody to ask about it.

I thought about it a bit and maybe being adversarial isn't the best idea. What ever creature she is, she's a queen so there must be diplomatic options available to us. Greet your queen politely and present your cheese like you came here for.

It's best to be polite. She's the Queen, after all. You'll just greet her, present your cheese, and the rest will follow naturally...right?

"I...I guess so."
"Now, Misty, to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"

"Well, I made some...cheese. My first ever cheese! And I made it with Cowsea's Holy Cow Milk. So...it's probably really good. And I thought you might like to try some?"
"Oh my! That's so very special, Misty! I'd love to have some. This is your very first cheese? So that makes you a novice cheesemaker, then? I'm impressed!"
"Thank you, Quee...Momuz. I worked reallyreallyreally hard on it, and it took a reallyreallyreally long time..."
"Oh, I'm sure you did! It's not easy making cheese."

"Let me go light some more candles and fetch another chair, then we can sit down and try some of your special cheese. You said you made it with Cowsea's milk?"

"Then I'm sure it's a Masterpiece!"

Also the queen said "I forget sometimes that others need light", which is a statement that she doesn't. I think if we ask about it, she'll just tell us.
And it will be because she's a vampire. She's a vampire.
Still, a friendly one. Vamps are people too, just people who enjoy drinking others' blood.

Anyway though, vampires in DF are not inherently evil. Some of them rule pleasantly for centuries.
Let's trust, but verify.
Quote from: The Dracula Before Us
"Then I'm sure it's a Masterpiece!"
Did... we create an artifact cheese? Is this how that works? Make sure we keep the cheese with us, regardless. Slice off some cheese, eat some cheese with Queen, and tell her all about how we came here to raise cheesemaking to his finest heights!
Keep the remaining cheese between us and Queen Chompers at all times, though.

I'm going to laugh when a single bite of holy cheese has the power to cure vampirism, make you 10 years younger, and pay off your credit card debt. Then the entire Fortress will be all about the Cowsea.
I suspect that any actual holy power would obliterate the vampire more than cure, though that could depends on however the randomized magic/myth stuff works when it finally gets into the game.

DF vampires don't have any issue with the sun so they're not the our standard pop-culture vampires.
Vampires and werecritters are created by a god cursing someone and I see no reason to think a god couldn't hypothetically remove the curse if they were so inclined, honestly seem like one of the best way to do curse cures and Toady didn't rule it out when I asked about werecritters, just said "not yet".
Quote from: JesterHell696Can characters that got cursed by being bitten by a werecritter be cured by praying to a/the (right) god?
No syndrome cures of any kind so far, sadly.
Okay, didn't say "not yet" but did say "sadly" so its a maybe one day kind of thing, we will have to wait until myth and magic for a definitive answer but I see no reason it can't work right now in a DF inspired comic.

Even if she would be the cutest, most naïve vampire ever, this is the wrong moment.
How about that party idea we had a while back? All the dwarves would come and listen to how great Cowsea is if the Queen threw a party, right?

I could see it going either way. Vampires are (originally) created by divine curse, so they have an obvious connection to divinity- and thus, in theory, divine products. We don't actually know anything more than that, though. Even the idea that the cheese is in fact holy and laden with divine energy is a guess.I'm going to laugh when a single bite of holy cheese has the power to cure vampirism, make you 10 years younger, and pay off your credit card debt. Then the entire Fortress will be all about the Cowsea.

There's also the question of what the queen knows/believes. Despite being a fanged horror of the night, she seems friendly and lucid, and if she's really an ancient blasphemer likely knows a thing or two about the divine. If she's willing to eat the cheese, that would seem to imply that either it's not harmful or she doesn't believe a word of our rambling story. This then opens questions about what qualifies as harmful (ie whether she wants to be cured and/or released from this unholy nightmare) and the fine nuances of the aforementioned assumptions about how much the queen knows. Maybe she's an airhead who knows nothing about the divine and so pissed one off, maybe she was turned and so doesn't even believe in gods, maybe she conducted extensive research before intentionally offended something to gain immortality and power, etc.
In short, I think we're gonna have to feed her the cheese to have any idea what it does or doesn't do.

I think you’ve got a syntax error there. There’s an extra ‘=‘ sign in your inequality. Also, the body of the loop just contains a comment, so it doesn’t really do anything.No syntax error. It's in a language that uses weak typing and has a distinct 'equality' (==) operator and 'identity' operator (===).
Code: [Select]
console.write('1' == 1); // true
console.write('1' === 1); // false
As for logic errors, there are plenty. It doesn't make sense to say `Misty === vampire` in any language I'm aware of. Unless there's a single vampire and the `vampire` symbol refers to the creature who is currently "the vampire", which I doubt, though I guess in some language the === operator could double as a polymorphic operator, in which we ask if Misty implements the `vampire` interface. In this context, this is more useful if the language has a highly dynamic typing system in which an existing object can change which interfaces it implements at any time. (So we could make Misty a vampire by adding the right interface.) I'm not aware of such a language, but it sounds interesting (and also something I'd hope to never have to use).
As for the while loop, assuming this is a single-threaded model, it effectively hangs execution using an indefinite busy-wait and makes sure nobody ever gets to change Misty's status. This doesn't work if the code is reached when Misty is already a vampire. Perhaps they intended to hang the execution if Misty ever becomes a vampire, like a nuclear punishment to whoever made her a vampire.

It's also interesting seeing how the art improves over the course of it, both in ambition of what you depict and quality.
Favorite visuals so far:
- the giant dwarf statues that form the arches at the gates to Shielddawn
- the emotional scene with Misty disposing of her friends corpse
- The up angle of the staircase down into the depths of the fort at the start of chapter 4.
I wanna do some fanart for this later when I get the chance.

"the sky" != "green"
== stands for "true".
"the sky" == "blue"
2+4 == 6 (true)
2+3 == 6 (false)
Assuming that the following line precedes both examples:
var Misty = dwarf
"Misty" === dwarf
would output a result of false. It would also throw up an error since it does not know which variable to reference since it was given a string as the first input.
Misty === dwarf
would output a result of true.
=== equals "equal to and same type."
Type is string or variable/integer.
No need to thank me.
Code: [Select]
var Misty = dwarf
if (Misty == dwarf) text "Misty is not a Vampire"
if (Misty == vampire) text "Misty is a Vampire"

Also schizophrenia is exceptionally rare in people under 15.
Additionally, if you want to help with that social anxiety if you didn't brag as much as it could come off as arrogant. This is not a judgment but an observation. I get it, I used to be somewhat like that when I was younger but it'd do you good to be humble (without minimizing yourself).

Depends on if you are using the Binet or Wechsler. In Wechsler I'm classed as "profoundly gifted", which translates into 235 IQ. Binet has me at 154.Uh, the Wechsler tops out at 160. There's a third-party "extended norms" that tops out at 210, but it's basically a giant asspull.

Schizophrenia is not something you troll about. It is a serious mental problem that can ruin lives. It is not a joke. I've gone through periods where I thought my stuffed animals were talking to me and broken my teacher's nose in a fit of paranoia. My parents are suffering. I've gone through five schools and countless teachers. I've ended up in a school for kids that just don't fit in.
Also, please note that all mental calculations are subject to error and you should always cross check your answers. Still, three figures is very good for a kid my age. My classmate is 12 and he spent several minutes coming up with two figures.
I found something saying that onset before 13 has specifically a 1 in 40000 prevalence, which is 0.0025%, and as you're an internet anon I still hesitate to believe you. However, if you truly have schizophrenia, I'm sorry and I wish you all the best.
I forgot to mention the original reason I came here, which is that I was surprised that this was still going!
Post by: Maximum Spin on March 03, 2021, 09:14:19 pm
Also schizophrenia is exceptionally rare in people under 15.I can confirm that psychosis in very high IQ children is real, though. It's not technically schizophrenia, because schizophrenia has a precise definition, but I wouldn't be remotely surprised if a psychologist described it that way out of laziness or an attempt to simplify. In fact, the least believable item in that list is the autism spectrum disorder, but it's popular these days to assume any smart kid is autistic because people, including trained professionals who should know better, no longer have any clue what autism is.

On the latest Page 3 of Chapter 5, Momuz the Vampire Queen says she's "sure it's a Masterpiece!", but she's probably just being polite.

A vampire posing as a queen posing as a deity!
Maybe she stole the crown from Cowsea? Or maybe she's Enchanting Cakewine– "the Goddess of Deception and Drink, who delights in leading wandering adventurers astray". (Full list of deities on Chapter 2, Page 7 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=136384.msg5294095#msg5294095).) Her crown isn't as magical as Cowsea's, though, so maybe she's pretending.
