Hello there! Welcome to the world of DWARVÉMON! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok84CfBX6Go) My name is COLE. People call me the DWARVÉMON SCHOLAR.
&
This world is inhabited by creatures called POKÉMON- Oh god bad example For some dwarves, POKÉMON are slave labor. Others use them for fights. Myself... I really don't care unless they're MIMIKYU, but whatever floats your boat.
So tell me, are you a boy or a girl?

Wait, Pokemon? There's Pokemon in Dwarf Fortress?
I asked if you were a boy or a girl you son of a- Yes! Pokemon in Dwarf Fortress! Our wonderful Professor FirePhoenix11 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=117509) developed a wonderful mod that puts every single Pokemon in Dwarf Fortress, along with other features such as Mega Evolution, Shadow Pokemon (we'll get to see that, trust me), and even Legendary Megabeasts! You can find the mod here! (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=162453.0)
So... are there other vanilla animals in this?
Nope!... Well, as much as we can control. We'll probably encounter some
Last succession fort?
Yep, if you haven't read the last succession fort, you will not understand the lore of some peoples' posts (for example, my first post), so I would recommend reading it. It's awfully Fun. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=163856.0)
Why do this one, then?
Because last fort was the very first succession fort I ever played, let alone ran. It had lots of flaws, so this one I hope to fix a lot of the flaws the last one had. Namely, we'll be embarking in a 2x2 spot, and I'll provide a better system for claiming Pokemon; probably related to the document I implemented last time but with better care.
Post if you want to be dorfed or if you want a turn, and what you want your dwarf's profession to be!

One more dorf and we can start, then!Uh, me, obviously! Add me to the turn list. Since Nopal has a Mareep, I guess I'll take a Gabite instead. And if I'm going to have a ground shark, I might as well be a miner... and a combeekeeper on the side.

It started as a day like any other. The day was fresh and bright and rather chipper. Especially with the screams of terrified dwarves on the outside of the Masterball library... yes, it truly was a beautiful day. As I sipped my mug of ale, I started to finish the rest of my new book. This was it; the finished Dwarvedex. I would never remember anything that wasn't my darling Mimikyus (inexplicably, I felt the need to grow a giant afro at that point), so I had created this so that everyone could look up Pokemon quite easily. I'd just go to the overseer and tell them we needed to make copies of this immediately! As I wondered who the overseer was, Beirus slammed open the door. He looked like absolute hell, upper lip missing as always, which I smiled and nodded at. Beirus, noticeably, was not smiling.
"Good evening, Beirus. To what do I owe the-"
Beirus immediately started to barricade the library doors with tables. I paniced.
"Beirus! What are you doi-"
"Cole, we need to get the fuck OUT OF HERE."
Beirus looked absolutely terrified. I looked puzzled.
"Excuse m-"
Just then, Professor FirePhoenix11 came in, desperately scribbling notes as he, too, started barricading entries with tables.
"Now really, Professor, is this really the way to behave!?"
FirePhoenix11 simply started desperately scribbling after barricading while muttering to himself in a panic.
"Demons... not... safe to tame... like Pokemon... requires... further... research... though most likely... not..."
Only one word registered with me.
"DEMONS!? Professor- no, Beirus, what the fuck is going on!? What dumbass overseer would let the demons in!? I thought we had a cave-in system and-"
Beirus came up to me.
And slapped me across the face.
"Get outta the damn library like a real dwarf and actually pay attention to what's going on! Maybe if you were out of this library, you'd notice the overseer was a child!"
I blinked a few times, then laughed.
"Oh, that rascal MCreeper. Tell me, did he make a new water tow-"
Beirus grabbed me and shook me. I had to adjust my glasses a bit to see Nopal, Maximum Spin, Glass and Paddywagon Man.
"STOP JOKING! I mean a literal goddamn child! Nobody bothered to keep the overseer position in check after Maximum stepped down, so some child came in, butchered literally everything they did, and let a goddamn forgotten beast in! The forgotten beast burned up everything, and you know what happened next!? It broke the barrier we had and let the demons in before we could seal them back up! We have to evacuate Pocketball now!"
I blinked.
I stuttered.
I gazed at FirePhoenix11 looking at notes, on the verge of tears that never quite came.
Then I yelled.
"WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUCK!?!?!?"
Summer, Hematite 7
"This is bullshit. This is bull. Shit! This is some kind of maximized bullshit I can't even come up with a better word for it!"
I kept complaining, but it seemed like nobody wanted to listen. Not the Pokemon we salvaged, not the dwarves that survived, nobody.
"How did we let a child run the fortress!? How!?"
Nobody answered. Eventually, I did give up.
"...Forgive me."
With the demons at every exit, we had to immediately dig a tunnel and build a wall behind us. Demons couldn't get past walls, thankfully. I hadn't even heard about the forgotten beast that laid us to waste before the demons came back, but Nopal gave me a nice little sketch of the freakish abomination. I loved Nopal's artwork, but the poor guy seems very down. I don't even have the heart to yell anymore, seeing Nopal so upset. Thinking about it, all of his great works were in that fortress. All of the masterworks we commissioned him for... all gone.
I watched Maximum Spin mine at the tunnels, uncaringly as he did. This was... a rough time, to say the least. It wasn't even just him and Nopal that were feeling depression; I felt bad for everyone I saw. FirePhoenix11 didn't even have the motivation anymore to keep himself occupied with his Pokemon notes. Paddywagon Man looked even worse than she did when she lost the title of baroness. Glass didn't have a single forge or Fire-type Pokemon to keep him company. Beirus was grumbling, and I could see his teeth grinding. I would say I felt badly even for MCreeper, who I saw came in at the last second... though I don't think he's that upset. I think he's been yelling at anyone longer than I've yelled.
His yelling... it's all I can goddamn hear anymore. I'm getting tired of it. I angrily ask Maximum Spin to mine a quick hole for me. Not to take a leak. But because I want to do something desperate.
Yes... for the sake of the dwarves who had worked so hard...
RedMageCole looses a roaring laughter, fell and terrible!
Summer, Hematite 11
Freedom! We finally breach the Earth, hopefully miles away from Pocketball! Everyone's in a much better mood finally seeing sunlight; some of us had cave sickness, but thankfully, everyone was happy! Especially since we had nice food to eat, it turned out I had some in my pockets, and we were all able to share. Also, I had found a lovely little leather and bone headband as well. Nopal seemed the worst off, so to honor his service, I gave it to him. Nopal seemed happy about it. It was the first time I saw him smile in months...
We chopped trees and planned to set up a new fort. I sent a few scouts to go check the area around us, they should be back in a couple days, hopefully.
Summer, Hematite 13
Shit. Shit. Shit.
Paddywagon Man and Beirus, the scouts I had sent, came back screaming. They told me there was hell and fire being raised nearby by demons. It seems we aren't safe, even here. Thankfully, we fashioned a wagon, and we salvaged a Blitzle in our Pokemon stock. We saddle up and get moving. We have to get out of here, and fast.
Summer, Hematite 20
We stop at a lovely dwarven town. They heard of Pocketball's exploits and wanted us to tell them all about it in the morning, but for now, we were treated to a feast. FirePhoenix11, the most analytic of all, laughed and told me that this meat was so good, it tasted entirely different from the meat I gave everyone in the caverns. He then looked at me quite sternly and asked what Pokemon it was.
I laughed and told him, 'at least it wasn't Poison-type, right?'
The answer satisfied him. As we all wondered how we were going to detail our extravagent tale to everyone in the morning, we went to sleep...
Summer, Hematite 21
nO NO NO NO NO NO
Summer, Galena 13
We've been running for almost two months now. Today is pretty much the first day we've ever been able to even take a break. We've had to eat while running.
Apparently, the demons all conglomerated from Pocketball and started to spread throughout the world. The lands are ruined. Everything is gone. Nothing's going to be left. We don't know how we've survived at this point. There's only so many demons Beirus, Paddywagon Man and Nopal can cut up.
We were able to find a new continent far, far away from this one that the demons would never be able to reach. We'd just have to find the proper supplies, make a boat that can stay afloat for days, and somehow not die in the process.
I've never been good at labor but i have to help everyone
Autumn, Limestone 10
We reached the edge of the continent. We had our boat, we found supplies, and we hunted Pokemon. FirePhoenix11, for once, did not object. Everything's going to be dead by the time the demons arrive anyway. We might as well let them provide us some nourishment. We even found plants to make some booze for the trip, and we're making a boat at top speeds.
Autumn, Limestone 15
The demons caught up to us, so we didn't get to prepare as much as we would have liked. We set sail; I watched as Beirus deflected a few fireballs back at the assholes with his swords. It was pretty awesome.
What wasn't awesome was everyone's faces as we watched the continent behind us burn.
Autumn, Limestone 20
We're so far away from it. It's still burning
Autumn, Limestone 28
Oh god i can still smell the burning bodies
Autumn, Sandstone 10
None of this would have happened if i werent so greedy
I didnt have to grab so much adamantine i could have just been happy with what we had
I cant go on i should have just pitched myself off the boat when i had the chance
i cant do this naymore
RedMageCole is stricken by melancholy!
Autumn, Sandstone 16
nopal drew me a picture.
it was a mimikyu but it was giving me two thumbs up.
and it was saying get better soon.
i guess people were seeing me sulking and crying and maximum spin had to stop me from throwing myself off the boat.
i guess i didnt make it that subtle.
thanks nopal.
Autumn, Sandstone 24
today beirus noticed i wasnt eating any of my shares
i insisted i wasnt hungry but i look skeletal
beirus ended up shoving some chansey meat down my throat
told me firephoenixii said it would help
thanks
Autumn, Sandstone 28
i dont think it matters anymore
Autumn, Timber 15
Today, a miracle happened.
It was probably my 29th time trying to commit suicide (Maximum Spin says it was 30th, but I beg to differ), when I was stopped not by Maximum Spin or Beirus desperately pulling me away from the edge of the boat, but what we saw.
A rainbow.
But not just a rainbow.
A Pokemon.
It was a shimmering bird that reflected the rainbow in its feathers, making it look as if it glowed a myriad of beautiful golden colors when truly, its own sheen was that of the rainbow as well. Its golden sparkles landed on us...
That's when FirePhoenix11 came up from behind us, scribbling notes a mile a minute, spoke.
"Ho-Oh."
We all watched as it flew into the clouds... and I felt rejuvenated as the sparkles touched my skin. And what was even more heavenly were the words Nopal said.
"LAND HO!"
Winter, Moonstone 1
Winter had arrived, and thankfully we found a nice cave to hole up in. I think this must have been some kind of kobold cave before we moved in, because it was loaded with food and supplies to last us throughout the winter. But we'd have to get out when Spring arrived.
It's gonna be busy around here, so I'm gonna be avoiding writing in my journal until the winter's over.
Godspeed. Strike the earth.
Spring, Granite 15
(https://i.gyazo.com/e2dc0d88a093c7dfc7fa1985fbf3475f.png)
Just in time for spring, I had finished my map of the area we had stumbled upon. I'd place us around that grey and red area at the left. I looked around... Forest. Forest everywhere, to start. I figured, okay, not a bad place to settle, right?
...Wrong.
The Pokemon here... something about them wasn't right. It took a bit for us to find out, but we all saw something almost haunted. You ever see those zombie movies? These were like... zombie Pokemon. But not quite; they were still alive and well. But they were... like... shadows of their former selves.
FirePhoenix11 had a guess; these were Pokemon that artificially had the door to their hearts closed, probably by a necromancer out of a job. So they were like Zombie Pokemon, just... less rotting.
We coined the term 'Shadow Pokemon'. And the place was crawling with them. Maximum Spin wanted us to continue digging, but I stopped him. I picked a spot; 2x3 with width being the biggest factor. I had said 2x2, but it should still yield better results than 3x3, and this world has been giving me much less lag due to its size. And hopefully, just hopefully, we won't run into any demons. And I told everyone some inspirational speech about how we need to find the secrets of these Shadow Pokemon. Everyone was less than willing, but FirePhoenix11 thought it was a great idea. With him and I having the most influence, that was settled. I triumphantly yelled...
"LET THE MUSIC PLAY!" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZsOwo9rhsQ)
Everyone thought that was a stupid quote to say, but then I started playing music at that point, which resulted in the Pokemon also dancing. It was pretty sweet and everyone got kind of pumped.
I checked the area.
(https://i.gyazo.com/62255e612189e6216b916dd3eb2851a5.png)
Basically everything was optimal condition minus, well, you know, the Shadow Pokemon. We could be worse off for sure...
Our Pokemon consisted of a couple we caught on the way. Beirus was the only one who got a bit stiffed on his Aron or Larvitar or Alolan Sandshrew, but I picked him up a Probopass. Hopefully he doesn't mind; it's still Rock/Steel.
We also trained them, so they're strong enough to fend for themselves. Paddywagon Man has a Crobat, Maximum Spin has a Gabite (not a Garchomp yet), Nopal has an Ampharos, Glass has a Charizard, FirePhoenix11 has a Serperior, and I have... an Eevee wearing a Mimikyu costume.
Don't laugh, okay? I miss my babies. And I can study evolution with this Eevee.

Well... This is it. This is Goldsilver.

It's not the greatest place. Lots of weird looking foliage. But still...

We got a little while before the Shadow Pokemon come back. Let's get moving!
(https://i.gyazo.com/e520913ebbf1863a10ce0dd0a0878852.png)
I have us all start by training our respective Pokemon for war. Glass, despite having excitement over his Charizard, opts to train the Blitzle first. Okay.
(https://i.gyazo.com/1dade333444cd7c9ed085c1dba7866f8.png)
I don't know what (e) means and I do not feel like figuring that out.
(https://i.gyazo.com/8efb6cb621821e3c37b9a9ee81199c3f.png)
There's no notable caves, it's all flatland. Therefore, I opt to start our fort hidden between two pools of water.
It's also then that I realize we have no woodcutters. Therefore, I ask Nopal to temporarily take up woodcutting before I assign him on military duty. I'll have to remember to take him off woodcutting when that happens...

Btw Cole, did you include vermin versions of Pokemon? and/or Mega Pokemon Semi-Megabeasts?

Oh, and give me a furret, if possible. If Phoenix didn't "fixed" this machines of death, of course. :P If he is - something from eevee, preferably not leafeon.That list isn't for this version of Dwarvemon; it was just an outline of what Phoenix would like the abilities to do. With FLEEQUICK, I'm pretty sure it just means when the Pokemon wants to run away (similarly to how when you go to kill an animal and it runs away from you rather than fighting) it'll kick shit into high gear and nobody will be able to catch it. I'm sure it still fights when cornered, just means it won't exactly want to singlehandedly murder 3 dwarves simultaneously anymore.

If Phoenix didn't "fixed" this machines of death, of course. :P If he is - something from eevee, preferably not leafeon.Considering we're in a forest, most Eevee will evolve into a Leafeon. Unless you can evolve it into another before the biome takes effect (from what I've seen, sometimes it doesn't add the (e) from the biome, meaning if you evolve it before the biome induced transformation starts it will be that Pokemon up until the other starts, wasting the evolution. I had my Jolteon turn into a Leafeon). It can happen rather quickly due to it being WEEKLY, and I'm not sure if MONTHLY works (I'll have to test it).

If you tame them, they will flee much like being BENIGN but will engage if attacked. Unlike BENIGN which only retaliates if enraged.
Post by: Paddywagon Man on October 05, 2017, 10:14:11 am
I for one am glad that if my Eevee should turn into a Jolteon or Flareon through some horrible accident, it can still turn into a darling Leafeon to save itself from the butcher's workshop.
Still, once we've got an acceptable number of Leafeons - like 11 or 12 maybe - I can see we might want to branch out a bit into the second-best Eeveelution. How do we evolve an Espeon? There's still no day-night cycle in Fort Mode so I'm a little curious.

Shidoni was dorfed as the Peasant, the Gem Cutter was dorfed as xSkeletalx since he had some levels in dressing wounds so I dorfed him as the chief medical dwarf (remind me to never get injured, that guy kind of terrifies me), and the Furnace Operator was dorfed as bloop_bleep.

How many dwarves does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Five; one to get the lightbulb, one to rescue that dwarf because that dwarf just got stuck in a tree, one to teach the rescue dwarf how to use his very own axe that he's been using for an upwards of 10 years, one dwarf to actually screw in the lightbulb, and one to get another one a very stiff drink.

Thunder - This has like 5 different versions that I'll need FirePhoenix11 to elaborate on but either way it's pretty awesome and can completely paralyze things.Its mostly for CPU-controlled Pokemon. Any attack that has multiple hits or is a beam/streak has them use it all at once, emulating that effect.
Floette, the OH GOD THEY'RE EVERYWHERE Pokemon. If you forgot what you just read a couple minutes ago, the update ended with these fucking things swarming around everywhere. They come in six flavors; red, blue, orange, yellow, white, and Eternal Flower. Eternal Flower Floettes are supposed to be extremely rare forms of Floette that come once every 3000 years which is clearly bullshit because there's four of the damn things outside. What the hell?Apparently pop ratio doesn't work that well.

@FirePhoenix11 - Thanks for elaborating! And fair enough.

But then how did it, Glass and the anvil get up there in the first place...? I keep seeing a lot of people end up in trees for some reason...Lord knows about the anvil, but dwarves getting stuck in trees is an ongoing bug possibly caused by other dwarves taking away stepladders that are in use (which is hilarious if you imagine it). I had six dwarves packed into the same tree not too long ago, in another succession game (Ineth Zafal). I assume the Charizard was just following his master.

And it's heading that way fast, too.I'm going to guess that our civilisation is being killed off, and some battle took out the previous Baron of Toplabors and Monarch, the latter leaving no heirs. Thematically, of course, I'd say that a couple demons made it over from across the sea and are rampaging, but you should check Legends so we can see what actually happened.

To Maximum, the demons thing was mostly just for story; this is actually a whole different world I generated because of the new Dwarvemon version. I checked the Legends just to see though...
...Some group called The Midnight of Dances; a goblin gang, to be specific, kept attacking The Machine of Exaltation. Apparently there were a lot of new barons/baronesses at that period and a ton of dwarves were killed; I can't find the specific king at the moment, but basically my assumption is they wanted the king to be in this hole in the dirt so The Midnight of Dances won't kill us.

MALACHITE 14
The trip from the Mountainhome has been arduous, and I find myself questioning why I felt it was a good idea to leave the jewelcrafting life behind to join this caravan to Goldsilver. Sure, shop space was getting tight in Artisan Row, and there was that little incident where someone hit Urist with a hammer... but I hadn't suspected it would take quite so long to get there. Nature is quite unsettling when it's all around you every single day. I saw a flock of Butterfree passing overhead yesterday and couldn't help but flip them the cave swallow. I felt better afterwards!
Still... I feel something calling me to Goldsilver. I can't quite place it, but my dreams are filled with strange, floating purple orbs; they're always fuzzy but are becoming more and more vivid the closer we get to our destination. I suspect one day soon I'll have a better understanding.
MALACHITE 18
We've finally arrived, and the tales circulating about this place really did not prepare me for what I'm seeing. The soaring stone walls lined with ballistae, parapets bristling with marksdwarves and sentry pokemon; the well-crafted paved road, lined with statues of heroes; the massive, engraved gate of black bronze. None of them are real. Goldsilver is a literal hole in the ground in the middle of the forest, manned by a mere handful of dwarves! Wild Pokemon wander nearby and can be seen in the river, and the underground living spaces are still being dug out. Arban save me, if these dreams weren't so impossible to ignore, I'd walk back to the Mountainhome and give that recruiter an up-close view at the pointy end of my next sabre cut gemstone!
The local leader introduced himself as RedMageCole, and asked me for my profession. I told him I could shape a jewel into anything he could imagine, and that I knew my way around a chisel, blade, and clamp; I've now been assigned as "Chief Dwarf In Charge Of Dwarven Medical Needs". I glared at him and flipped him the cave swallow, heading below to check out what medical facilities I'd be dealing with.
On one hand, I'd prefer to work with raw jewels instead of dwarf flesh, but I did manage to get my "wound binding" badge in Dwarfscouts, and that's the most medical experience anydwarf has here. Father always did want a surgeon in the family...
(Trying to hit the intelligence and weird aspects of my dorf; hopefully this works out!)

So... Wow. Where to begin.
It's my last season, and I have to finish up my secret project, and also carve out some new rooms for these stupid nobles so that people can later just load them full of gold (that we don't have). To start, I'll put in some work orders for the furniture they need (what is someone gonna do with five cabinets and ten chests...?).
Winter, Moonstone 8
A wild Tyrogue appeared! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNofX9vF0TQ)
(https://i.gyazo.com/c2134c23fc6c54f176f376cefb1da683.png)
Paddywagon Man's Crobat was demolishing it, but it left to go do whatever and now a stonecrafter is getting badly beaten. Time to send in the military!
(https://i.gyazo.com/0293fe3558252d0eaf6a3b35c599dca7.png)
Nopal OHKOs it and is promptly unsatisfied.
Winter, Moonstone 9
(https://i.gyazo.com/f8e84a873e1ac419f13c88cad0ffced7.png)
Goddamn fucking seriously?
Thankfully King bloop_bleep just wants thrones which I was making a shitton of anyway for the secret project but Baron Shidoni wants amulets. Which I have to go out of my way to make. God dammit.
(https://i.gyazo.com/da84dc31a4fd48fff99b0f0d3d87bdc2.png)
Regardless of my disdain towards Shidoni at the moment, I start on his quarters first since they don't have to be as large.
I make Shidoni's stupid amulets and he mandates we don't export any amulets. Sure.
Winter, Obsidian 1
An ambush!
(https://i.gyazo.com/c7748553d82e1e2e5094128f39b2874f.png)
By a... fluffy thing. Seriously?
(https://i.gyazo.com/2402697e1acce6458e832ad25ca21474.png)
FirePhoenix11's self-defense kicks in and he completely demolishes that thing.
Spring, Granite 1
(https://i.gyazo.com/fe9fcaea87498fae129e9dd680aef346.png)
...Wait, what!? That was the last season of Winter!? Jesus, nothing interesting happened! Again!
Well, I guess I can at least give a report.
(https://i.gyazo.com/c35f4393484d42868e4114fd0c84d18e.png)
The fort is very new and it shows. There are clusters of workshops in the main meeting area that probably could use some relocating. There's a wood stockpile with wheelbarrows, a finished goods/furniture stockpile, and a metal bar stockpile that I think I was originally making into a barracks but completely forgot to actually do that. There's also a weapons/armor stockpile.
(https://i.gyazo.com/6b519400beb897e3251a0ecef3a41f28.png)
You got a food stockpile and a economic stone stockpile. Speaking of which, there are some querns and screw presses there. I had originally had that ready for making paper sheets, but... I don't have the right plants. Please, please make paper sheets? I have the library and everything; you don't even need to mine out the library or do furniture for it! It's already finished!
You ask; it's finished? But I never showed it! That's because I didn't finish it until now.
(https://i.gyazo.com/fa20e02fe2d2e15784b1b551a6697273.png)
I may not be as good as Paddywagon Man at recreating party sprites into DF, but dammit I tried. And I say it looks good.
(https://i.gyazo.com/dc9d3e7cd473ddf5efd3a09ca6a582ae.png)
Also, in between the library and the second basement floor is the unfinished king's room.
Other notes for overseers:
-There's a guy bleeding out outside because of that Tyrogue attack. I'd make a hospital once the king's quarters are done so he can get treatment.
-Try to get more Pokemon
-We have access to copper and silver, so I'm not sure how you want to make the baron and king happy, but do your best with what we got unless you want to dig to HFS.
-We got a decent amount of supplies for food and drink but it's still not enough to stockpile; keep harvesting plants and hunting for food, as well as making stuff for us to trade
-Current mandates are no exporting amulets or chairs as said above, the king wants three chairs made but I already put in the work order for that so you don't have to worry.
-I'll make the Pokemon document once we get more Pokemon, don't worry about that either.
-All of the current overseers are dorfed but some aren't; they're not crossed out on the front page.
-
Good luck! Passing onto Nopal.

The less said about being only rectangles, the better (got to say, DF has given me light dislike towards rectangular housing. This is arguably bad, as almost all buildings I've seen are rectangular. Even some pretty amazingly pretty buildings!)
The library, in comparison, is much better. Maybe smooth like 6 floor tiles to bring out the ...closer wing of the bird, but it works as silhouette already.
Are the dwarves here modded to be short-tempered that you prioritize the happiness of nobles over bleeding out peasant?

GRANITE 1
Well, that poor fucker Bembul's been lying in the dirt since before the new year, but I still don't have a functional hospital room. Ironically, I'm told my soon-to-be-patient is experienced in working with stone. I wonder if it would be worthwhile to tell him I can't fix him until a hospital gets carved out; his leg's broken, sure, but maybe he'd get up and build the medical facilities for me! That'd be a win-win, really.
GRANITE 18
Bembul must have really pissed off both Cole and Nopal, otherwise why would both Overseers wait so long to build my hospital and let a dwarf suffer like that? Bembul seemed like a nice guy to me, that one time we shared a meal of plump helmet together. I hope I get a chance to fix him soon.
GRANITE 19
Bembul decided he was tired of waiting and tried to set his own leg this morning. Needless to say it didn't go well. When I saw what he was doing I walked over and told him as his primary care physician I really didn't recommend he attempt such a procedure on his own.
"Your mother was a blind cave ogre" came the venomous response, moments before he twisted his leg into a completely different form and promptly passed out.
Well, now I see why nobody cares enough to let me fix him, I was only trying to help.
GRANITE 26
Overseer Nopal woke me up to inform me that my hospital was built, furnished, and ready for my first patient to receive the necessary care.
"Is Bembul the one in need of medical attention?" I asked.
The Overseer looked at me like I had no beard.
"....yes, his leg is still broken."
"Ah; well, I'll need some more time to meditate on the diagnosis and care required." I replied, as I rolled over and returned to my nap.
GRANITE 27
I was having a wonderful drink of rum today and Overseer Nopal mentioned that Bembul had been moved to the hospital and was ready for his operation.
I grabbed a bit of charcoal from my bag and wrote out a prescription for him to pass over to Bembul the next time he happened to be near the hospital. Told him it would fix everything right up, in my expert medical opinion.

Neat.
Does the modded world actually have headbands?
Sucks to be Bembul, I guess.
RE:Caravan
And ooh, human elves. Sadly, no matter how much they wish they can't grow lifespan.
RE:Wood/Hospital
What is that red wood, btw?
Containers, stockpiles...Dwarves don't care how the items are stored, merely taking the closest.
RE: Skeletal interlude
Often, I find doctors can treat most injuries even on a zone in the ground with nothing built. They can't use a traction bench or stuff, and they'll prefer to carry a dwarf to a bed farther away, but ain't nobody got the time for that always.
Heh. Earlier, Bembul was grateful to be rescued, tho. Quite the change. Though that is to be given when you're not a real doctor doing real doctoring and instead tell others to not heal themselves.

[/quote]
I wrote it as Bembul being so frustrated with not having been rescued he tried to fix it himself; as the doc dislikes nature and refuses to work outside a properly furnished hospital, he was onhand to offer "don't do that" style advice, but then got annoyed at Bembul's reaction. Goes a good way towards explaining why I'm procrastinating actually fixing his leg now that I have the proper facilities to do so!

Name:Mottled Petrel (preferably male, but whatever is fine)
Preferences: Bug, Rock, Ground
Professions: Farmer and animal trainer if possible, but farmer most importantly
Backstory: A skilled farmer of the mountain home who happened to hate plants. He only farmed because of his love for the bug types that he raised inside the crops. He made his best efforts at training them, but the "vermin" bug types often payed him no heed. His favorite pokemon is Ninjask, but they were too big to hide in the crops and were often hacked to pieces when he brought them in from the wild. So he decided to focus on venipedes instead, hoping to nurture them until they grew into mighty scolipedes. He also learned to loved the rocks and soil that the plants grew in, but had difficulty hiding any rock and ground types within them. After one too many cats were Poison Stung to death by his pets he was sent to GoldSilver to hopefully get his obsession out of his system and focus on reasonable farming. He has no such intention. This move has only encouraged him to "catch them all".

Please dwarf me as a glassmaker, if we need one. Otherwise, an armoursmith. Prefer a dwarf with high introspection, if possible. IfCoilMagnemite(or evolutions) are available, I request the company of one or twoCoilMagnemite.
Edit 2: Fffff- I forgot to mention to use the name "Azalea"!
Bellossom, Tropius, and the Bellsprout line are good matches for me, too.
Edit: Is it fine to request a dwarfing for someone on IRC? An IRC friend(from another channel) is interested in being dwarfed here.
Quote from: IRC
<Ball> it should probably be focused on the introspection attribute like usual I guess
<Ball> naturally, Gardevoir or Kirlia or Ralts, or at least another psychic type that is preferrably cleared with me
<Moonstone_Leaf> Are there specific Psychic types you don't want?
<Ball> well I have never been super fond of Drowzee or Hypno, and I feel like there are others.... I'm not too interested in Natu or Xatu, or Wobbuffet or Wynaut
<Ball> *goes down the list* I'm not too sure about Unown, but that could be kinda alright I guess. I don't want Spoink or Grumpig.... or Chimecho or Chingling
<Ball> Elgyem and Beheeyem are kind of ugly so I don't want them
<Ball> I don't want Mr. Mime or Mime Jr. or Victini or Woobat or Swoobat or Girafarig or Darmanitan zen mode or Inkay or Malamar or Bruxish
<Moonstone_Leaf> ... Um, OK. Nice can of worms I opened there. Name?
<Ball> also hmmmm name the dwarf Ball
<Ball> any non-military, non-weaponsmith profession, preferring to work with metal/stone [Edited for succinctness.]

I finally arrived at... what is this place called again... Ah, Goldsiver. My supposed "temporary relocation" until I get my "bug catching" out of my system. BAH. Heathens. I'll die here before I give up bug catching. Still, they didn't have to kill all my bug types in from of me to make a point. A point that was clearly lost on me. I'll just have to start my schemes again here, they'll thank me when we have legions of mighty scollipedes to defend us. No matter, as soon as I start on the crops I'll be in business. I always hated these boring plants. Green leaves, green stems, predictable fruits. BORING. The first thing I see upon my arrival here is that instead of normal grass the ground is covered in flesh tendrils and eye balls flicking from side to side. Much Better. I can't wait to see what powerful bugs live here.
I'm not sure this place is quite the bug haven I made it out to be. I'm here for only a few minutes and there's a totodile burning to death on the surface and flames being spewed in the fortress. This won't do at all. Hopefully this is just a phase, or I might need to keep some water types on hand as a safeguard for my bug types. I'll see how it goes, so far the overseer is running around yelling about excrement, so I'm not sure how many reasonable requests I make are going to be answered. Then again, probably means less people breathing down my neck asking why I dug out a room that is now infested with combees. The seeds will soon be planted and the bug army shall rise.

You can't even trade it away, since it's an artifact. So, yes, it does nothing but attract invaders.

I believe that the trade only evolutions and weird, hard to make happen evolutions just happen on their own in this mod. Unless he changed it with the update or something.Evolution by trade happens like friendship (as a greeting), but the Pokemon will evolve instantly vs 1 month.

As for you sucking as overseer, it's only the second year and despite a ridiculous amount of nasty stuff happening to make things difficult, you have full-time armored soldiers and a functioning well. I'd say you've both done fine jobs as overseer so far, and the artwork is a treat as always.

It's weird to think of autumn as "two more seasons in year".

Can the vermin pokemon evolve into non-vermin pokemon?
Doren may have seen all the barrels were taken. Better make more, I guess.

The dwarves can't be bothered to send a liaison. Get a random speardwarf instead.
...It's not like the outpost cared for the news, anyway.
I guess the pokemon escaped from the empty cages. Should have used pokeballs instead.
And worry not; you're quite a fine overseer Nopal. The posts are enjoyable to read.
@MCreeper: Weight/size is also used for whenever someone hits with or is hit with a weapon. Bigger people hit harder and are harder to crush. (And (find it) slightly harder to bisect)
Because of this, it's unoptimal (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=164981.msg7522035#msg7522035) to send hammerdwarves to fight Rocs, for instance.

Drinking the blood of werebeast doesn't make you a werebeast. Unless you mod it so. As for what forms, not sure. Does the evolution use transformations? If so, might want to take 1 transformation limit into consideration. Whether that means using only the base forms or final forms, I do not know. (Though werecharmander is way cuter/less threatening than werecharizard.)It would be like generated werebeasts that transform any CAN_LEARN and HAS_BLOOD creatures (like humans, dwarves, elves etc), and if you want to disable generated ones you can set the amount of curses in advanced generation to 0. I'm pretty sure it doesn't stop modded ones from appearing.

"Ah Nopal, have you brought me more notes for my research?"
He shook his head and placed the sheets down, explaining how his turn as overseer was over and someone else had to oversee the fort. Considering how well the first time went, the professor agreed.
"Things have been a bit slow for me anyway."
Surely this couldn't be worse. Right?
Spring, Granite 1
Welp, first things first, lets look over the notes. Most of your usual stuff, diagrams, reports and other overseer related info.

(https://i.imgur.com/CdKSBBo.png)
One of the first things I notice is holes in the floor. I guess the collapsing trees from the Infernape fire caused them, and will be patched asap. Note to future overseers: Be sure to keep a look out for them, cutting down trees above dug out places can also cause holes like this.
"give our baron Shidoni and our King some noble rooms."
Should be no problem, If I can make a mayor feel like royalty, imagine what I can do for a king.

Apparently they have a mandate too.

I encourage Bembul to not anger the Elves and agree to the quota. I know many might not like the so called "tree hippies", but it may be for the best. We don't want the Elves bringing their Pokemon army against us, I heard they can train all sorts of scary Pokemon.

Spreaddem cheeksthe word!
Also, looks like we have breeding pairs of Gabite, and soon Butterfree too given how fast Metapods evolve.
I'd like the other Metapod. Unless vermin pokemon not evolving has been fixed I'd say just put him in a cage in my room (If I even have a room and there is a cage to spare).Unfortunately vermin will never evolve, you'd have to catch a large version for that. I've also seen a lot of vermin ones roaming around, so it might be better to catch some ourselves.
Who was the other dead dwarf next to Fluffe? I love how the pond already had a victim.Some Dwarf, Fikod Sobirlikot.

MCreeper, one of our military, offered to be sheriff and expressed interest in the Luxio. Quite a good choice, for both justice and military. Once that Luxio evolves into a Luxray, nothing will go unnoticed.
Obviously, an office will be required, so I marked one out.
(https://i.imgur.com/8Z704cI.png)
There are requests for other Pokemon too, I'll deal with that.
We also don't have much to trade.
(https://i.imgur.com/U1c5nhT.png)
Hopefully some more crafts and gems will be made before they leave. I told Ball to prioritize the Luxio and Gliscor, hopefully he knows what he's doing. If we cant get those Metapod in time, we can always catch some. Plenty hang from the trees here.

Are elves good in this mod?Not too sure. I have yet to see a siege from them, but from what I've seen in legends. They will more than likely bring every Pokemon they get their hands on, from war vermin, to Totem Pokemon. They also have those who don't tend to get domesticated (such as Spiritomb) assist them sometimes in battle.

Dear Diary,
Life in Goldsilver is going down south real fast. I've been having to rebuild the library and still convince people to actually go to it post-Infernape attacks. I'm still trying to figure out what the hell was up with that. Today, Nopal came in and I looked for good news, but I was just given a stack of books that Nopal asked me to index. I wanted to ask about the paper sheets, but Nopal left quickly, leaving me to actually update my index. Sure, I had been slacking off on that, but I had good reasons! I learned that the Professor was going to be overseer, so I figured I would finally get my paper sheets then; the Professor was good with books... and then MCreeper gets elected mayor!? MCreeper!? How!? Do these idiots not remember who brought them here in the first place!? And why MCreeper!? First off, I vaguely remember chopping him up into a headband back at Pocketball! Second, again, how!? MCreeper is not a mayor at all! MCreeper is so inattentive, I could say all sorts of things like "MCreeper is an impatient bigot", "MCreeper is a pretentious fuckface", "MCreeper sucks" all over the fort and he still wouldn't bat an eyelash! Great... though maybe this could be a good thing. I've heard whispers about wanting to get rid of the nobles, that irritating Baron and King. Perhaps MCreeper would be included in that, the lazy nobles... yes, you know what, I'm gonna start on plans right now.
Despite all of this... none of that is the worst part, though.
The worst part is that we haven't seen a single Mimikyu coming here. ):
You all forgot me, Goldsilver. But I don't plan to forget about you anytime soon.

I need their Totem Mimikyu.Also, who the hell elected a headband as mayor? I demand justice!
As much as I like to employ the "be friends with everyone" policy, I can't help but feel that me and Birdy are going to be mortal enemies. But I'm sure the worst I'm going to do to him (if anything) is petty pranks like writing "Bugz Rule" on the side of his room in charcoal. And could I request that when the next traders come we try to buy a leaf stone from them for my exegute (or however the hell you spell it), or at least request them on minimal priority from the outpost liaison.
Can do, also a note to overseers: large gems wont work for evolution.

Maximum Spin insisted that every Gabite should belong to them. Beirus had already taken one but the other was free, and I don't want to take Pokemon off people... We should actually set up a breeding program with them once they evolve, Garchomp and its Mega Evolution are pretty good for defense.
It was then I realized that the path down to them was cut off. This fort is much more of a labyrinth then what Pocketball was... Cole would probably get very mad if I ruined the library's shape, so I'll just have the stairs here continue downward.

the DwarfVet plugin is currently really buggy, for me 9 times out of 10 it crashes the game. You also have to make sure that only dwarves with all the medical skills enabled as well as animal care area allowed to go anywhere near the animals who need treatment, or else the game crashes. If they have a splint or a crutch they need to return to the hospital they will try and do so, but if they are pastured they will create enormous cancellation spam. Best bet is to try it one animal at a time, lock the desired dwarf in the hospital with them, and then save after each animal.
I actually coded the dwarfvet plugin. Post a save, I'll see if I can fix it not to eat the world.

Shidoni decided to take in the Blitzle, take good care of him. The mangled leg shouldn't slow him down too much. There's also a Joltik hanging around, but its so small it cant be found. MottledPetrel offered to look after it once we do find it, if its even still around.

I had the manager's office moved to the smaller room so the other can be turned into one for Shidoni. It seems like they mostly want the same as Mcreeper, just with a tomb to be buried in. Shouldn't be hard. Some coffins will be made in preparation for that too.

The Joltik was found and it immediately went missing again, I think maybe because its so small the cage cant easily contain it. Maybe a metal one with a very small mesh should keep it in.

Maybe a glass terrarium would work? If that doesn't work then I'd say just leave him out and about, hopefully he'll produce webs and stay around the fortress now that he's tame.Should try that, if it doesn't work then I'll just put it in its own room to produce webs.
He's escaping because he's gnawing through the wooden cage. Put him in a stronger cage and he will stay there.I tried a zinc and copper cage, both didn't work.

MottledPetrel suggested instead of using a cage, maybe a glass terrarium would keep the Joltik from escaping. That's quite a good idea, so i'll ask for one to be made.

Oh, my mistake. Almost mistook her for one of the merchant's guards.
Autumn, Limestone 17

That's good to hear.
MCreeper also asks if there's anything we need. Hopefully they have some Mega Stones available, and a Key Stone needed to activate them. Other then that, I think we're pretty good. We seem to be doing well out here.
Unfortunately, it seems they don't have much of them.
(https://i.imgur.com/WCMzcYm.png)
The Mega Stones are useless without a Key Stone, so I'll forgo them. As for the stones, I'll have to take a look at the list of Pokemon to see if there's any that they can be used on.
Which there isn't... They do have a few interesting Pokemon, but of anything, getting some Miltank here would be nice so we can make Moomoo Milk (or cheese if you want).
Oh, there is one thing we might need. Some gold and silver bars for more valuable furniture. Hopefully the next overseer can get them, it would definitely help make the rooms for our nobles much nicer.
(https://i.imgur.com/dcWj0vg.png)
There's also an agreement made with the merchants, this will probably matter more to whoever is after me.

With so many in the military, another new squad is formed, calling themselves "Lugia's Warriors". The barracks may need expanding at some point (possibly the 3rd floor could be used), it may get crowded in there.

After greeting all the new arrivals, I check out what the merchants have brung along.

(https://i.imgur.com/hRknCXD.png)
Some steel bars which could be used to forge something, we probably need way more though.
(https://i.imgur.com/5sSRVR9.png)
Quite a few Pokemon, obviously we should get those Mareep and the Miltank. We could start getting some wool and milk from them.
Lots of cloth and leather (pages long). As much as I'm against using Pokemon for leather, we may actually need it.
Maybe also getting some Moomoo cheese, just so we have some ahead of making our own.
The rest is typical, though very lacking. I really hope they can bring more next year, some of our crafts and gems are worth quite a bit apparently. (around 15-16k worth total)
Autumn, Limestone 21
Shidoni's tomb is also ready to be decorated. A couple of statues and some engravings should fancy them up.

I was expecting to make more amulets, but this time the king wants a quern made.
And just as we completed Shidoni's last request for them.

More is ordered. Seriously, why so many?

RE: Hematite 4
Should jail Edem for all unfulfilled mandates. Not that you'd have any.
I'd be terrified of hundreds of wasps near my size too.
At least amulets and maces are not too bad mandates.
RE: Hematite 24
It's pretty bizarre that pokemon keep climbing trees and falling to their deaths.
Sounds weaponizable, though. Would be nice to convince all hostiles to do this, but on the other hand it might also get friendlies.
I'm not sure why tanning Pokemon is horrible. Is it the tanning Pokemon part?
RE: Zon
Love the blood trail.
RE: Malachite 4
Isn't a fire/flying like the worst possible protective animal? It'll leave you standed on top of walls, and set you on fire whenever you approach something dangerous?
Though it fits charizard to a d.

Can a Gabite be cursed with were/vamp curse?
RE:Malachite 28
Y'know, if there wasn't any goblet stockpiles, they'd just leave the goblets on top of barrel (or still, if drinking from a still).

Amusing Joltik. Perhaps an animal trap would work?

Well, I have arrived in Goldsilver. Ever since I heard rumors of people who fled a continent taken by demons, I have been curious. In retrospect, though, moving to this fortress may have been a mistake. The surface shows burn marks, and I have already gotten lost. Maybe I should have kept my curiosity in check. Well, too late now.

Paddywagon Man wanted one of the Haunter from the merchants, so I asked to have it traded. She also mentioned that Nopal likes Sylveon, so that was ordered along with some more cloth. Some of the clothes around here are starting to look a bit tattered.
Speaking of Nopal, I recall him wanting any more Mareep that we get. I allowed him one of the two, and if anyone else doesn't take it. Then I'll give the other (sharing is caring).
Meanwhile, no progress seems to be made with the Gabite. I'll have to give him back to Maximum Spin (hopefully it will evolve and heal all its injuries).

For distraction, there's this (https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/5tb7mr/dfhackscript_distracted_petsmobs_workaroundfix/). Nothing for next version, though I don't know if you could mod your pokemon to be nonreligious?
The all-gray tombs are pretty tasteful. For engravings, I suggest lettering the owners' names.
You know, it'd be helpful if the mandates said what was desired right in the message. Ah well.
5x5 nesting rooms? Unusual. What are you thinking of, I wonder...

Hm, this trading makes me ponder, what's the balance of Pokemon like in this mod? Any type immunities i.e. water ones standing a good chance versus the Infernape?I've tried to make it as balanced as I could, but I think fire types have an advantage (due to the !!FUN!! they can dish out). Water types are fire immune, so they do stand a chance against them, but there isn't type effectiveness entirely. It would be very tedious to implement, as it would require every Pokemon to have the appropriate material force multipliers for every other Pokemon, and even then I don't know if it would work properly.
5x5 nesting rooms? Unusual. What are you thinking of, I wonder...Its generally what I make, its enough room to not be crowded and the males can sit in the center for all the females.
Post by: FirePhoenix11 on November 19, 2017, 12:26:54 am
Both Azalea and Maximum Spin wanted the other Mareep, and Maximum Spin was adamant that it belonged to them. Sorry Azalea, maybe the next one we get you can have. I might not be the overseer at that time though.
MottledPetrel also seemed rather down after seeing those Ninjask fly off, so I got an idea for a little something to cheer em up.
(https://i.imgur.com/Nv1qnqy.png)
And since our miners haven't had much to do, I laid out plans to rearrange the bedrooms so we have more room.
(https://i.imgur.com/gweffoN.png)

Hopefully by knocking out the middle walls, everyone can have a bigger room. There should still be enough for everyone once they mine out a few more.

Things seem quiet as I manage the bedrooms and royal quarters, and everyone seems to work fast around here. I can't really think of jobs for them (other than making crafts), so most are beginning to idle around again.

Reports of a strange, smooth, bird like creature floating around come in, and I'm asked to identify it. I go and take a look.

It seems to be a Porygon2, a Pokemon seemingly made up of something out of this world. Its actually quite rare to see around, so hopefully it wonders into one of the traps. I'd love to study it more.

No, that amulet is not impressive.
As an aside, probably shouldn't knock out the wall between two doors in the original rooms, so it can be engraved...Oh, too late now.
I'm surprised Ralts is big enough to eat.
Table and chair and storege things and maybe even a workshop and...
Well.
I'm reminded of the idea for a script to automatically flood-fill bedrooms and auto-assign everything in an owned bedroom to bedroom owner.
Then I remember that I tend to just make dormitories of various sizes. Though a system to deal with distraction from need to craft/be creative would be neat.
Albeit I doubt Bembul's querns can satisfy that (haven't tested).
I wonder how much troublemakers do the dwarven jails usually get?
Hm, I take the evolution chamber works on multiple pokemon at same time.
Thanks for the layout tour.
The central staircase design surprises me slightly, though reminds me of Nagidal's rampway.

In his place I've been appointed temporary overseer for my military background. I'm taking a drink in the barracks when I receive the news.
(https://imgur.com/kE6gFBH.jpg)
In all honesty, I'm... a little lost. When I was first made Overseer of Pocketball, undead were clawing at the gates. It was obvious what the focus of my rule would be. But Goldsilver is much more peaceful.
Sure the infernape problem is a bother, and we lost four of our best to a weretreecko to a gorgeous rear. But compared to the carnage that my terms as Overseer of Pocketball were marked with, it's been relatively calm.
Still, it pays to be vigilant, so perhaps a military junta is the best decision. After all, I've heard from the traders that this continent is dominated by goblins - a sobering thought. And I hate sobriety.

If the demons managed to get here, their armies would swell into an unstoppable force. Thankfully, there's been no sign of them yet - nothing but cute pokemon and a mighty forest.

Although that one tree does look a little... off?

FUCK
I hope that Cyndaquil didn't belong to anybody, because no Pokemon Center can fix this. The beast has vanished back into the trees, but I've gotten the mechanics setting up a great number of new cage traps. Hopefully I'll come out of this with a fancy new treebeast!
Besides this trapbuilding spree, I rework the military's uniforms a bit and start working the large amount of silk and leather we've accumulated. Armor, cloaks, and bags are produced - the bags being especially important, as it allows us to get our glassmaking industry going and put some of those countless querns to use making us dye.
I run across Zefermcdwarfpants down in the caverns, which is a pleasant surprise. Haven't seen him in ages!

Hey, stop that ya bum! Get back to building stone blocks! Hands off the copper! Guards!
Nopal manages to catch me before I arrest Bearskie and explains to me the concept of a Strange Mood. Apparently I had one myself two years back. Well, whatever. We've got plenty of Mason's workshops and maybe Bearskie will make something really cool! Not as cool as my stone amulet with no decorations or pictures but cool nonetheless.
(https://imgur.com/mMqoZXZ.jpg)
As we have a fair amount of food but little alcohol or rope-grade plant fiber, I order some of the layabouts outside to pikipek of pickled peppers and whatever else they find. They come back complaining of barbed plants covered in slivers.
I send them back out to pick more in the name of science. Such a nasty plant should surely make some top-notch booze. I also order more trees clearcut for the wood furnaces so we can get the smelters running again - should help flush out that Sudowoodo too.
In the midst of this floral genocide the elves arrive with a trading caravan, headed by their human diplomat as usual. I pour him a gutter cruor (he chokes on it) and inspect the wares the elves have brought us.
(https://imgur.com/saZFtpV.jpg)
In a surprising turn of events, they brought us a really awesome collection of pokemon! I'll probably be buying all of these, if any of you guys want to lay a claim to one of the pokemon here you're welcome to.

What kind of an evil fortress is this, speaking of? We haven't had any sort of undead monsters or Shadow Pokemon trying to murder us, we haven't even had boiling acid rain that turns us all into Alolan Grimer. It's like Paddywagon Man said; this fort has been a lot more tame than Pocketball and we're in a Haunted biome!
Maybe Haunted isn't enough. Maybe for Rubysapphire we need to go straight up terrifying.

Because it has ornamentation on its neck!
Also, make more amulets. :P

So instead I get to freak out about finals.
Post by: Paddywagon Man on November 24, 2017, 05:20:06 pm
It seems a little unfair, Maximum Spin having more than twelve thousand pokemon pets already. But I let it slide.
(https://imgur.com/YwWr5HU.jpg)
Petrel warns against claiming it, but I decide we can handle the risk. We've got two gengars running around already.
I'm stroking the lovely Arbok and thinking of a name for it when Shidoni elbows me out of the way.
"Amulets!" He yells, gloatingly. "Amulets! Everything is Amulets! I'm the Baron!"
With that he shoves me aside and walks off with my beautiful Arbok. I'm about to protest when I realize the irony of me, Paddywagon Man, setting a precedent of Overseers disobeying barons. I decide to let it go, but there's no way I'm forgetting this. When I'm baron of Goldsilver and Shidoni doesn't outrank me anymore...
I put the thoughts from my head, start crying, and make another amulet. On the next workshop over, Bearskie is furiously working with a pile of various materials - I try to make out what he's making but it's beyond me.
(https://imgur.com/K5Wgjnw.jpg)
(https://imgur.com/SryiG61.jpg)
Meanwhile, Conibo the wannabe elf asks us to stop cutting down trees. "Yeah, that's fine." says King Bembul, as the sounds of falling trees and the smoke of charcoal furnaces fill the sky.
I go down to check on Bearskie between amulet mandates. He's just pleased as punch, holding up a really nice quern.
(https://imgur.com/VceEE6V.jpg)
"Great job Bearskie, we sure did need another quern! Now go make two more querns to fill the mandate, and put them all on the massive heap of querns!"
Meanwhile, I turn my mind towards the industrial capacities of Goldsilver. There are a few inefficiencies holding things back, mostly in travel time between stockpiles and workshops. I move a few shops around and punch out a couple more staircases - nothing massive, but it speeds up production quite a lot. Azalea starts churning out armor for the expanded and better-equipped militia, stone blocks come rolling out of the mason's workshop, glass statues and clay bricks from the furnaces, and we start mass-producing mechanisms to facilitate better caging efforts.
Speaking of better caging efforts... anybody like pansage?
(https://imgur.com/sTWK2pM.jpg)
'cause we got pansage. I'm probably going to butcher most of these, but if anybody wants to spare one from the chopping block let me know.
We get a migrant wave early in the year, a refugee group from Fire-Type Lovers Anonymous. They're on the run after their last fort burned down and hoped they could crash here with us. They bring with them a charmeleon, a charizard, a torchic, a braixen, a quilava, a litten, and a few non-flaming pokemon of various types. Every one of them is owned already before any of you ask.
Not very many useful dwarves among them, although I draft a few into the militia and we do get one really awesome Pokemon Trainer. The influx of flaming death reminds me of our resident flaming monster, time I did something about the infernape problem...
(https://imgur.com/tcmpDVu.jpg)
I build a slate bridge, raised and ready to crash downwards at the pull of a lever. Once it's primed I unlock the door leading to the Infernape and give a whistle.
(https://imgur.com/hQWkp7H.jpg)
This is going to work great, you're gonna love it. Trust me, my mechanical death traps always work!
Zon the Infernape strolls down the corridor, arrives at the awaiting death bridge, and promptly melts it into magma with his searing flames.
(https://imgur.com/kB4mOG8.jpg)
JUST HOW HOT ARE INFERNAPE FLAMES?
I freak out and start evacuating people. He strolls around, lights a few tables and chairs on fire in the Mimikyu library, and then heads back to the stairs. I watch his progress nervously. Where's he going? He had us all completely at his mercy.
(https://imgur.com/dXKDhJg.jpg)
He goes down into the caverns, starts a fire, and brutally murders a couple Baltoy before returning to his old corridor. Some kind of Stockholm Syndrome maybe? He didn't know what to do with the freedom? Maybe he's just plotting something even more sinister?
We may never know, as I quickly send a couple masons who wall off the corridor. I've learned my lesson - I'm never messing with that Infernape again. That part of the fort belongs to him now.
(https://imgur.com/F8AEzVk.jpg)
The floral genocide has payed off! Turns out these nasty sliver barbs make a really cool black dye when milled. I've set up an aboveground farm producing rope reeds and sliver barbs, allowing us to produce large quantities of gothic black cloth year round. I set up another loom and clothier's workshop to accomodate the workload as the militia all don their black cloaks. We even have some sliver dye left over for eyeliner! Truly an intimidating force.
(https://imgur.com/zfkTZU4.jpg)
Nice! The trapping binge payed off in a non-pansage way! You can take this if you want Beirus, I know you missed out on the Hitmonchan.
But this new addition to the Pokedex is overshadowed by a much bigger event...
(https://imgur.com/HVXAIe1.jpg)
(https://imgur.com/DyFRJi0.jpg)
Our cloth and charcoal worries are over! A massive cavern absolutely chock-full of joltik silk is uncovered, along with a tall magma pipe. And most importantly of all, adamantine! Loads of it! And quite a ways above the magma sea, so we'll probably be able to mine quite a few levels of their priceless adamantine. I remember the Pocketball days all too well, though, so I won't excavate any below the first level before I've made any and all necessary precautions. There are also a lot of mega stones down here, but none for any of the Pokemon we have. The most useful one I see is Pidgeotite - I've seen pidgey flying around overhead so maybe we'll luck out.
(https://imgur.com/4mPiZXC.jpg)
(https://imgur.com/52JYfbd.jpg)
Well I figured out where all the silk came from, there are a heck of a lot of Joltik down here. Zefer and Shidoni get into a fight with one, which proves annoyingly difficult to hurt.
(https://imgur.com/rBRQhQ6.jpg)
Come on, hold still!
(https://imgur.com/Gws0NlQ.jpg)
HOLD STILL! The evasion modifiers down here are a pain.
Harsher measures are necessary.
(https://imgur.com/hW35qa6.jpg)
Sorry Mottled Petrel. I'll try to catch at least one but I don't want to risk anything when everybody's working so close to a pool of magma.
Meanwhile our scribe Bim shows off his courage by dismembering a tiny spider and then surrendering to it...
(https://imgur.com/QjR6qoA.jpg)
While bleep-bloop gets beaten up by a Gengar.
(https://imgur.com/YOEIrOm.jpg)
There are no serious injuries in all these many battles but it slows work down considerably. Meanwhile, as Summer arrives and I draw this chapter to a close...
(https://imgur.com/REVnwkK.jpg)
Some random Cheese Maker wins a surprise election victory over incumbent MCreeper for his lauded "tough on Infernape" platform. Having no patience for populist politics, I kick him out and install myself as mayor through strength of arms rather than administrative ability.
(https://imgur.com/Arpx2rM.jpg)
Say it with me! J-U-N-T-A!
I'd wanted to make myself mayor for a while now as a stopgap before my barony, but I didn't feel comfortable usurping MCreeper. He was a buddy from Pocketball, he's lived through a lot. But I've got no problems with curbing this whiny Cheesemonger.
Anyways, this has been Spring and early Summer in Goldsilver, see you next time.

Now the previously vermin pokemon come in both vermin and non-vermin varieties.
I did manage to get you one Joltik so far, and there are still plenty in the cavern - hopefully more will wander into the traps.
Post by: Fleeting Frames on November 24, 2017, 11:07:02 pm
Hm, I figured a joltik would be small enough to use as a shoe.
What is the irony, though?
Looks like bearskie is making another amulet....
I guessed wrong. But, an artifact quern doesn't satify a mandate either.
...You know, it occurs to me that querns would make fine floor decorations to give happy thoughts.
That's quite the migrant party. This will not backfire in no way whatsoever.
...Snrk. Should have used dolomite or periclase - two stone types that melt above 15k.
Setting library on the fire again, making everyone run...
Hey, shouldn't you be able to fight fire with fire - namely, those new fire types you just got? A surefire way to reduce the amount of fire in the fortress, izzit?
Ah well, someone else can free him.
Mm. Dry caverns. Well, muddy. That's quite a lot of bloodthorn saplings, or kindling if you will.
...Just how small are Joltik? At least they seem to not kill quickly.

And I haven't done a paper industry yet but it uses the same materials as a cloth industry, which I did set up and which is producing way more than we need. I can definitely get some paper done.

(https://imgur.com/Ba0YFD0.jpg)
Meanwhile Nopal's Ampharos is tending to an egg of its own, so we should soon have a second.
To celebrate this momentous occurrence I decide it's time to flex my administrative muscles and make a mandate. Not some pansy querns or anything, a real mandate.
(https://imgur.com/lJVfOJX.jpg)
MOTHER. FUCKING. DOORS. And lots of 'em. By the time this reign is done you guys are gonna be drowning in them. You're going to be lashing doors together to make rafts and using doors to paddle them through the sea of doors. The militia will wear doors and bludgeon our foes to death with doors. And you chumps are going to say "Thank you, Paddywagon Man, for being the Over
How's that for a mandate, Shidoni?
(https://imgur.com/f9xL3Cg.jpg)
Meanwhile we got another cool pokemon in a cage. It's up for grabs if anybody wants it. We also have... lots of Joltik. Like six or something.
(https://imgur.com/Px148TI.jpg)
The first actually dangerous cavern attack happens. I remember back in Pocketball, Eelektrik kept breaking people's necks left and right. I remember this one tough-as-nails baby that crawled all the way from the caverns to the surface after a Muk killed his mom and crippled him. Dwarves were DWARVES back in Pocketball. So stop crying, Asmel.
(https://imgur.com/pe6cz6x.jpg)
Speaking of Eelektrik, Birdy did a number on one because I wasn't able to trap any of the Pidgey or Oricorio that kept doing flybys. BONKBONKBONKBONK
(https://imgur.com/poeYXiB.jpg)
While Birdy bludgeons eels with a ranged weapon, a very small migrant group shows up. We do get one really good furnace dude though.
(https://imgur.com/XPEzwUD.jpg)
At around this time, discipline within junta ranks breaks down. Nopal, being the militia commander and my boss, feels he would be a more natural choice for running a military dictatorship and clobbers me a good one with that mace of his.
(https://imgur.com/1ojg94p.jpg)
My rulership is on shaky grounds here... Nopal is more senior, Beirus is a better fighter, and the Mareep Mafia is a real wildcard. The Ampharos egg hatched too, swelling their ranks.
(https://imgur.com/HAJtlEA.jpg)
Thankfully, the caverns provide an outside distraction to divert attention from my poor leadership. Big firebreathing worm of some sort. Does a number on a Roggenrola and lights another cavern fire to cover up the Infernape's cavern fire.
(https://imgur.com/BwHnELY.jpg)
I scramble the marksdwarves, having plenty of experience with fire-breathing creatures and knowing how useless a close-quarters force is against them.
(https://imgur.com/HWVP8Lc.jpg)
It climbs inexorably up the stairs as fortifications are hastily erected and our marksdwarves take their positions.
(https://imgur.com/mmcBGSd.jpg)
It's a long and epic battle. Ho hum, on to the next thing!
(https://imgur.com/pQPbcvv.jpg)
Some Mimikyu for Cole - wait nope. Lamer. Still, I'm sure we'll catch some if anybody wants to claim one.
(https://imgur.com/eHyDQ4x.jpg)
Even dead people are unpleased with my leadership. Shut up ya bums! I can't hear you over Bearskie making MOTHER FUCKING DOORS
Still, things are quiet other than the restless, tormented dead. Too quite. I don't like it - I feel like at any moment
(https://imgur.com/3Zm0vpZ.jpg)
Goblins! All hands to battle stations!
I close the drawbridge as the militia is assembled.
(https://imgur.com/m7gxeLy.jpg)
Damn it, Birdy!
(https://imgur.com/i2HGI2l.jpg)
It's a small squad... looks like just a patrol or raiding party that stumbled across us by chance. But this whole world belongs to goblins - once they know where we are, they'll be relentless.
Unfortunately, as I see the militia assemble in front of me, I realize we're suffering from a severe equipment shortage. Not armor - I basically handled that earlier. But what I didn't realize at the time was that pretty much the only weapons we have are the low-grade maces we made to fulfill MCreeper's mandates. I guess Nopal's lack of an axe should have tipped me off. You goblins will have to wait for a minute! We'll be out just as soon as we have stuff to kill you with!
(https://imgur.com/EleFziW.jph)
(https://imgur.com/qaWXxyd.jpg)
(https://imgur.com/coZWhp3.jpg)
The goblins don't seem to mind. They're having an absolute ball murdering pikachus. Meanwhile Birdy wakes up and takes his position in the archery fortification palace I built on top of the barracks. I say palace because I also made myself some nice rooms and a personal church full of statues.
(https://imgur.com/h4DnN4j.jpg)
(https://imgur.com/qHQ9I9J.jpg)
(https://imgur.com/2yUn65c.jpg)
He kneecaps one goblin and leaves another gutshot and retching while the rest of us are sorting through armor pieces and freshly-smithed weapons.
(https://imgur.com/U1b8fyt.jpg)
AAAAAND it looks like not everybody made it in before the drawbridge closed. My bad. On the bright side he had no skills or friends, so it's no big loss.
(https://imgur.com/63Yucor.jpg)
The unfortunate clothier gets a healthy dose of goblin justice. And then, just as the militia is finally equipped and the lever to lower the drawbridge is about to be pulled...
The goblins all leave.
Get back here you greenskins! We finally have our shit together! Get back here so we can kill you and people will take me seriously as a leader!
PLEASE
Aw shit they're gone.
(https://imgur.com/D1W9CKD.jpg)
Still, they left behind a prisoner. Junta justice time, to make up for the embarrassment. Hats off to Birdy though. MVP right there. Meanwhile one of the nobody herbalists starts babbling and gathering materials for another strange mood.
(https://imgur.com/UA8Z1M1.jpg)
It better be a door this time, we've got querns and amulets enough for a hundred forts. Hey, isn't that the same guy that got beaten up by the Gabite? I think it is.
(https://imgur.com/LhZPMWa.jpg)
(https://imgur.com/68yrdjG.jpg)
Autumn arrives, and with it the caravan. They bring two miltanks and a combusken. Come on you jerks! The elves did better!
(https://imgur.com/FJofsMF.jpg)
The outpost liason doesn't seem to go by the title outpost liaison, considering himself a speardwarf instead. The junta is real.
(https://imgur.com/56iz4Ft.jpg)
Awful and covered in goblins? Sounds about right.
Anyways, that brings us to the end of this season, replete with anticlimaxes and general tomfoolery. There's a purrloin, a pikachu, 2 miltank, a combusken, and a roggenrola up for grabs, plus no end of pansage and joltik.
See you all this time next week for another exciting episode of Goldsilver

I'll take the male Gabite.
I should have had one of the Gabites Maximum Spin had, but somehow I didn't get it. So I'll take one of those Gabites.
But next time it happens, I start taking Overseer fingers. I will wear them as a necklace to strike fear into any Overseer who would try to deny me Pokemon.
That was a joke, but I'm going to laugh so hard if my dwarf throws a tantrum and actually cuts off the Overseer's finger. Bonus points if he gets a fell or macabre mood and makes a necklace from it.

Post by: Paddywagon Man on November 29, 2017, 02:44:18 pm
(Alternate Title: A Particularly Bad Day for Mottled Petrel)
The trading is finished. I buy some sheets of paper, some anvils and steel, and the two miltank from the caravan. The outpost speardwarf gives me a little encouragement as he leaves.
(https://imgur.com/btVnwnv.jpg)
He's right. We junta types have to stick together, prop each other up. Buoyed by this show of support, I start barking orders like the badass spearbaroness I am.
(https://imgur.com/1Dj1xT9.jpg)
Listen up ya chumps! This fort is on bracelet mode until further notice! I'm gonna cram junta-approved charm bracelets on every appendage you have and you're gonna say THANK YOU PADDYWAGON MAN
Between the doors and the bracelets, we're running out of stone, a bit of an oddity in an underground fortress.
(https://imgur.com/FRPO4Yl.jpg)
(https://imgur.com/1f21PMM.jpg)
(https://imgur.com/hXcuWi9.jpg)
Mechanic's workshop, hmm? Nice to hear, hopefully we'll get something useful.
(https://imgur.com/cln2OJS.jpg)
Even in stone, he has a lovely rear...
I come to the realization around this point that although we have a rather impressive dining hall, we lack an actual tavern. I tell the dwarves to get taverning already, the stuff's all there already. "What should we name it, boss?" Asks one simple-minded dwarf. I tell him to name it whatever he wants as long as it has booze.
(https://imgur.com/W9G7D1H.jpg)
Great job Urist.
(https://imgur.com/zcPNSQD.jpg)
We've captured an Abra and a Venipede! Anyone who wants the Abra can take it. Meanwhile Mottled Petrel and I are at something of a standoff over the Bug/Poison Venipede.
At about this time comes the first serious pokemon attack! A particularly nasty Mismagius kills two roggenrola before jumping one of our lye makers in a short but bloody battle.
(https://imgur.com/Cu8xKmD.jpg)
(https://imgur.com/9pduZxl.jpg)
(https://imgur.com/hDUMYow.jpg)
The victorious dwarf ambles off to the hospital for a fixup, leaving the cage he'd been hauling behind. I take a quick look to see what it was.
(https://imgur.com/nOzEfKm.jpg)
Looks like this Mismagius wasn't after the dwarf after all, it just had some sort of Roggenrola vendetta and our dwarf was in the way. Chilling.
(https://imgur.com/fK7r4SM.jpg)
Asmel finishes his construction, an artifact mechanisms covered in seditious anti-junta propaganda. I have him beaten soundly during the night, but I do thank him for his contribution to fort security.
(https://imgur.com/nXZDqpi.jpg)
More mangled limbs in the cavern, this time with magnets! I'm starting to regret my earlier complaints about how quiet Goldsilver was.
(https://imgur.com/ZWTAsXG.jpg)
That one magneton is leaving a trail of crippled dwarves in its wake.
(https://imgur.com/epMspS7.jpg)
Now Butterflies are beating people up too! Yeesh! I order the militia to deploy.
(https://imgur.com/1xmPufJ.jpg)
(https://imgur.com/DlV8d5l.jpg)
Birdy goes to town both above ground and up in the caverns. He's a very angry dwarf. Those two Magnetons he knocked unconscious were both hovering over the magma pit at the time, so I don't think they'll ever be waking up. The medical dwarves start patching people up and I breathe a sigh of relief.
(https://imgur.com/ZW1mJLt.jpg)
Then a Garchomp starts absolutely mangling Zefermcdwarfpants. Come on caverns! Stop it!
(https://imgur.com/DXttJCc.jpg)
Zefer? Are you ok?
(https://imgur.com/vLo3rzQ.jpg)
(https://imgur.com/aIQwnfR.jpg)
The Garchomp moves on to another victim as Zefer lies prostrate and bleeding. The militia is again deployed. The hospital is running at just about maximum capacity now.
(https://imgur.com/0TR1zRt.jpg)
(https://imgur.com/HKPAGlc.jpg)
I kill the Garchomp in a mighty battle that will be immortalized in junta propaganda forever. Atir, meanwhile, gets sidetracked and runs into a pack of Joltik. It's not pretty.
(https://imgur.com/YkLMweo.jpg)
Sorry Mottled Petrel...
The deaths of all these Joltik threaten to exacerbate a tense situation in Pocketball. Two rival armies of Electric-types - Mottled Petrel's Joltik Squad and Maximum Spin's Mareep Mafia - have been on the verge of war for weeks now. The Mareep Mafia might see this Joltik massacre as a sign of weakness on Mottled Petrel's end and attack.
Then everything is changed by the arrival of a third army of electric type in the caverns. The fucking Eelektrik are back. And this time it's for real.

I order a large-scale military deployment. Meanwhile Mottled Petrel is having troubles of his own.
(https://imgur.com/stLOBHz.jpg)
Poor guy. First it was Birdy shooting up the Butterfrees, then it was Atir slaughtering Joltik. He's had a rough time of it. Well, once he's out of hospital I'll give him the Venipede. That should make him feel better.

Thankfully, Birdy's made it to the scene to beat back the hordes of Eelektrik, wearing his first victim as a gruesome trophy. It's uncanny - we have 25 militia dwarves and yet Birdy is consistently the first on scene and gets all the kills. He's a very angry dwarf.

BONKBONKBONKBONKBONK
With the Eelektrik all slain, Birdy wipes their foul blood from his crossbow and goes to take a nap. More dwarves flood into the cavern to collect the many wounded and the two dead. We did cage one Eelektrik though. I don't know whether to train the evil beast as a weapon or sacrifice him to Armok in honour of Azalea and Mottled Petrel.

You can use doors to decorate hallways, I guess.
And apparently electricity is magnetic, here.
Herbalist...Probably going to be a craft, unless somebody did mood training.
Guess the herbalist did have some other skills.
I wonder, do the Abra or its higher family have [CAN_LEARN] or [CAN_SPEAK]? It's supposed to be smart....
That was one impressive Mismagius, and ditto for magneton. Guess every attack isn't just a bruise or scratch.
Caverns are finally ramping up, and perhaps birdy should have a warhammer instad of crossbow. Or maybe a backup axe instead of shield. (probs not, dw is kind of bad versus animals). Iunno.

Quick question about how we want to do pokemon assignments. It looks like earlier we were leaving them technically unclaimed, but assigning the dwarf who wanted them to be their trainer. This means they don't follow us around or get names.
The other thing we can do is war/hunting train them and assign them to the dwarf that claimed them. The downside to this is that we lose all the nice colour and all the pokemon turn either grey or white.
Which do you guys prefer for the pokemon you've claimed?

Cave Pokemon get caught in traps.
Dwarves go down into the caverns to collect them.
More cave pokemon arrive before the cage traps can be reloaded and ambush the collector dwarves.

The militia is deployed and easily slays the massive beast. Surprisingly, it wasn't Birdy this time! The professor is taken to fill the vacant hospital bed left by Zefermcdwarfpants.
(https://imgur.com/jW9t4aY.jpg)
"It's so beautiful" moans RedMageCole, tears streaming down his face.
(https://imgur.com/Af389n9.jpg)
(https://imgur.com/vc90Yzx.jpg)
Meanwhile, Azalea turns up alright! She explains that when the Eelektrik horde attacked, Mottled Petrel saved her with a decoy technique he learned in Joltik Scouts. There is much rejoicing as legendary weapons are forged and given to the dwarves of the Goldsilver militia.
(https://imgur.com/sva8QPC.jpg)
And a non-deadly pokemon appears in the caverns at last. It's nice to have a chance to breathe. And if we catch it I'm sure it will make up for the near-death experience Mottled Petrel had to suffer through.
(https://imgur.com/FZyPl8D.jpg)
My chance to breathe is cut short when one of the herbalists informs me of yet another death. I panic. What was it? Goblins? Demons?
(https://imgur.com/6DGiq6p.jpg)
"Well ya see boss, he got stuck in this tree..."
I cut the herbalist off there and send a woodcutter to fetch the body. What an absolute moron. I should have known there was nothing to worry about - nothing up here on the surface but harmless Butterfree.
(https://imgur.com/64t1TuJ.jpg)
I turn my head to see a trader and a Butterfree tear each other apart in the span of a couple seconds. My god, there's blood everywhere. The mortally injured trader seems happy enough to have improved his wrestling skill, and wastes some of his last breaths telling us about it. Birdy is again deployed as more Butterfree flock around to shoot stuff at the dying trader.
(https://imgur.com/G3grvCt.jpg)
Birdy takes one down and injures another before the rest fly off, congratulating the Butterfree that had fired the psybeam. "This ambush was a really good plan!" says one in Butterfree sign language. Mottled Petrel translates for me as I shake my fist at the fleeing bugs.
(https://imgur.com/WQmRYEE.jpg)
Thankfully, we also get a strike of excellent luck and a small group of Deino are caught in our cage traps, as well as another Luxray. I give one of the Deino to Beirus before realizing that this, along with his Haxorus, puts him at 7 pokemon in a violation of league rules. The Luxray and the other two Deino are up for grabs.
And in an even better turn of events, another Strange Mood!
(https://imgur.com/bG4mxVk.jpg)
Carpenter - that's good luck. It could mean an artifact door!
(https://imgur.com/8gJyDtt.jpg)
Laaaaaaaaaaaame. I resign myself to another amulet and get back to work. I'm hearing more screaming coming from the caverns, which is never a good sign.
(https://imgur.com/6U8yjdp.jpg)
My attempts to set up magma forges and magma furnaces are cut short by a group of Magcargo. One unfortunate scribe is running around with a terminal case of being on fire.
(https://imgur.com/3CqyyMg.jpg)
Marksdwarves are sent in to shoot the problem. I abandon the magma pipe for now, I'll do my forging closer to the surface with charcoal.
(https://imgur.com/IN9E6nG.jpg)
It's a close thing. But thankfully fire doesn't spread easily in the muddy bottom cavern layer, and Birdy was able to avoid the fireball. The first two Magcargo are slain and the others return to the magma. No losses besides poor Monom.
(https://imgur.com/amWFfZz.jpg)
The carpenter is hard at work. I hope whatever he makes is worth the adamantine.
(https://imgur.com/ct3vlyA.jpg)
(https://imgur.com/JPf6v5L.jpg)
My god. At first I was disappointed when the carpenter went to a craftsdwarf's workshop - but this is truly fit fit for a king.
(https://imgur.com/qgWBnNK.jpg)
HO. LEE. SHIT.
It's worth basically as much as everything else in the fort put together. And that includes Azalea's masterwork adamantine weapons and the other artifacts, which are worth a pretty penny themselves.
But enough of that nice stuff. Pokemon are killing people in the caverns again.
(https://imgur.com/1zCDMtd.jpg)
This time it's a Baltoy, which goes to town on that Herbalist that made the legendary mechanisms. That stony bastard!
(https://imgur.com/omGjxMY.jpg)
It lies in wait by the body of its victim as another mechanic comes by to reload one of the cave traps.
Surprisingly this new mechanic doesn't seem to care at all about the death of his fellow, and waltzes right on by. Professional jealousy maybe? The killer baltoy, Edodom, gets caught in a trap shortly after. I'm unsure of what to do with it.
(https://imgur.com/Wj2cZdv.jpg)
My fortress of doors is complete. Doors hang off every wall, and the green gulpin temple looks over the babbling brook. I made it the official church for the whole fort. I'll get some gulpin culture drummed into these philistines.
(https://imgur.com/NgCTd9Z.jpg)
Poor Zefermcdwarfpants. With both arms crippled he can't lift the mug to his mouth and has just been sitting morosely in the food stockpile for a little over a month now, getting more and more tired and thirsty. I give him a pat on the back.
(https://imgur.com/jKQl8LP.jpg)
It doesn't look good. I have a coffin set aside for him and give Skeletal a talking-to for the premature discharge from hospital.

a Birdy fanboy named Sarvesh takes his little crossbow and shoots the shit out of an innocent psychic pokemon, just like his idol. Meanwhile, the Mareep Mafia grows in strength.
(https://imgur.com/9HhyzL6.jpg)
(https://imgur.com/5XYQByZ.jpg)
To celebrate his mareep's evolution, Nopal bestows a name upon his mighty shield. This show of strength from the mareep faction, as well as Mottled Petrel's return, spells possible trouble. Thankfully Nopal has also claimed a Joltik, and can hopefully smooth out the differences between the two sides. Between the top-notch propaganda, the diplomacy, and the military leadership, Nopal is doing a lot to hold this fort together.
(https://imgur.com/pxwHo14.jpg)
Look guys! War pokemon! Yay?

Alas, poor Zefer. You made it through demons and the treacherous voyage across the sea only to die to a domestic landshark.

Another evolution. Sniff... It's what Mottled Petrel would have wanted.
"I'm right here" says Mottled Petrel.

And with that, Spring arrives. Always a lovely time of year. I look out upon my realm from the fortifications ringing my office and take a deep breath. It's been a tough year, with more dead people than I care to mention and a good deal more injuries.
But I got the metalworking industry working at a much improved capacity, to handle the huge influx of priceless adamantine...
(https://imgur.com/Sx1xLnT.jpg)
I got a paper and cloth industry running, I improved the militia, I put all the fire types safely below ground beneath a drawbridge...
(https://imgur.com/mtwgVMw.jpg)
(note - the lever right by the purple and green bridge opens it and unleashes the burning legion)
I improved the king's quarters and tomb with engravings of mighty pokemon, gem windows, mechnical marvels, and statues...
(https://imgur.com/h92PSd7.jpg)
And even made a small tomb for myself.
(https://imgur.com/jQgP76O.jpg)
I'm looking back at my accomplishments and readying myself for the next year of my junta when I hear a knock on my office door. A second later the door bursts open and Maximum Spin strides in, flanked by Ampharos and followed by a small horde of Gabite. I stand up, a little surprised.
"Junta's over, Paddywagon." Spin says, blowing smoke from his Rat Weed into my face in an unforgivable show of insubordination. I pick up my spear as my Gliscor flits nervously about. The Gabite flock into the room.
"I pity you, I really do." he continues. "If you hadn't been so fixated on your doors and charm bracelets, you might have seen the danger in letting those Gabite and Ampharos breed unchecked. You do realize I collect both, don't you?"
I quickly size up the situation. Spin isn't a fighter, and I took down a Garchomp before. But so many...
"But don't worry, Paddy. The Mareep Mafia will make better rulers of Goldsilver than you ever did. I might even let you be mayor if you don't cross me. Otherwise... you remember the goblin dancer days? Ampharos - Thundershock this fool."
I leap forward with my spear, but too late. The electricity arcs through the adamantine haft and up my arm.
Paddywagon Man has blacked out. Paid one position of overseer to the winner!

*looks at Butterfree*
I don't blame Dumas for climbing up a tree. In the conditions, it was perfectly sensible action to live month longer. After all, surely his absence would be noticed in that time?
...Right?
...No?
Why even live?
I suspect if XButterfree PsybeamX broke, the game would crash.
That the carpenter has as much stonecrafting experience as wood tislering is bit surprising. The library is full of flammable furniture, after all, while the fort...surely does not rely on stonecrafting exports? Might also have been engraving. Lots of that around.
The fortress of doors does have military implications - the arhers need to stand in the doors to fire.
You could have saved Zefer if you had forbidden all spare mugs in fort. They're nice, but not necessary, and in this situation they kill dwarves. Not that you would have wanted to save Zefer, but the its the thought that doesn't count.
As for the war pokemon, I notice war training goes on levelup. How good are the fort's animal trainers?
Looking at the fort screenshots....
- querns stick out.
- augh why are there so many adamantine splints, and adamantine in general tossed together with food? It might have made sense initially, but now there isn't anything built near it that matters.
- Love the engraving messages. U for unown?
- I'm suspicious of the trapped flames of giving 'em hell.
- As usual, I coletely fail the game of "identify that pokemon". Well, it's not Ghastly, Haunter or Gengar, so that much I can tell. And a tomb is timely, given the ending.

Excerpts from A Million Little Pichus: A Memoir, by Maximum Spin Valecrafts:
In the fifth year of the Calendar of Goldsilver, I realised it was time once again for Paddywagon Man voluntarily to step aside and cede control to me. Our fledgling fort needed a firm hand on the rudder, and who better to provide that hand than I – I, who with wisdom and skill had saved Pocketball from fiery demonic disaster, only to see my work lost in the hands of a child the very next year? This time, though, with the Mareep Mafia at my back, I would not give up what is mine so easily.
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/maximum-spin-initial-thoughts.png)
However, the years of keeping to the shadows and building up my power had left me... bored. Not quite bored enough to crack open the Teal Seal and try my luck with the demons beneath again, but closer than I like to admit. Maybe that's why I soon realised that I'd made my move too early; back in Pocketball, I took control during a terrible crisis, and spent my overseership solving it. Now, there was no crisis, and I had no idea what to do, no idea how to ensure my reign would be remembered as a successful one. These doubts, and more like them, plagued me for the first moments of my term.
Hoping to allay my concerns, I quickly set about ordering the artisans of Goldsilver to construct a new set of statues following images I had personally designed to remind the populace that I am always looking out for them and to remind my 'superiors' to whom they owe their stations. I reasoned that, if nothing else, I could at least make a mark on the visible, physical reality of life in Goldsilver. I had just finished listing off the last of these – a special gift just for the Baron Shidoni – when the cry went up: a team of ten goblins had been sighted nearing the walls, with a war Garchomp at their heels. The first day of my overseership was not yet out, and already disasters were arising. I had to admit, it felt like being home again.
As the last civilian stragglers were running for safety, ten goblins quickly ballooned to thirty and a second Garchomp appeared. I'm not too proud to say I was more than a little miffed to see Garchomp in the hands of the enemy, but deep down I knew that I couldn't claim them all, even though I was committed to trying. To sate my vexation, I stood at a safe distance and watched the charge of macedwarves, led by my fellow Mareep enthusiast and right-hand man Nopal, slam into the disorderly goblin ranks.
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/immediate-fight-1.png)
One particular macedwarf, Crazy Mebzuth, actually bit out a goblin's eye. I have often wondered what it tasted like.
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/immediate-fight-2.png)
And in two bloody days, the siege was broken, having never progressed past the outer marches of Goldsilver territory; and only three of our dwarves, all newcomers from this continent, were lost. With Nopal at the head of the charge, of course, the Mareep Mafia secured most of the glory, as was proper. I ordered the alert status lifted so we could begin sorting through the loot and recovering the wounded. Of the survivors, Nopal and Crazy Mebzuth had taken the most damage; xSkeletalx informed me at the time that Crazy Mebzuth had broken his spine and might be paralysed for the rest of his life. This proved technically accurate: within a day, he was dead.
Still, considering the horde of goblins we were up against, a final tally of four dead was nothing. And of course we'd all seen far worse losses back in Pocketball. All told, I considered it a win.
Like any righteous dwarf, I showed my respect for the dead by hastening to get my share of the spoils.
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/share-of-spoils.png)
A few days later, on the surface, Mottled Petrel's prized war Exeggcute began to behave strangely. In my professional opinion, it seemed to be forgettings its training. It was clear that this situation could quickly become volatile, so I resolved to keep a close eye.
A few more days later, a human diplomat from the elven lands arrived. King Bëmbul informed me that he accepted the limit of 109 tree-fellings this year, as I recommended; we still have piles of logs dotting the surface, and no great need for more.
A random carpenter came to me and told me he henceforth wanted to be called AernJardos. Apparently, in his spare time, he was also the fort's second-best weaver, and these two facts were somehow related, I guess? Well, it's none of my problem. On the same day, unrelatedly(?), I happened to walk by the battle site and realised that the trees were absolutely full of goblin teeth. I think I also saw a couple of arms hanging up in there. It really helped with the ambiance.
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/teethtrees.png)
Soon, the elven caravan itself arrived, and, as I was looking over the preparations for trading...
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/garchomp-mafia.png)
... my power only grows.
King Bëmbul hastened to remind me that no querns or amulets were to be traded away under any conditions. Paddywagon Man had already cornered me in the hallway several days ago (repeated shocks to the head may have damaged her self-preservation instinct) to demand that we export no bracelets. The elves, of course, will not accept anything containing wooden components. So the only viable trade goods in the fortress were a mildewy pile of discarded clothing. Even on a new continent when your old one has been destroyed in flames, some traditions remain.
Looking over the elves' goods, I quickly realised that it would be prudent to ask my compatriots what Pokémon they would like to claim before concluding business. I wasn't sure how much we could really afford to buy, though, so I advised prudence and temperance, of which I have always been an exceptional model, of course.
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/elf-caravan-105.png)
The Combee is vermin. (Otherwise I would've claimed it for myself already.) But we can still get it if somebody (probably MottledPetrel, I'm guessing) really wants it. The rest are fully functional.

Oooh, I rack up any goblin kills?
Did I kill anything? Or did I miss the fight somehow? Never noticed any action after those two kills at the start of the fort. How is my swordmanship coming along?You both missed the battle completely! Nopal, Birdy, and Kamani were the only named dwarves who made it to the battle, and Birdy didn't even manage to kill anything. Nopal is the only one who killed goblins (three); Kamani took out a single Deino. Look, I don't want to sound judgemental, but... the Mareep Mafia is not impressed by your valour. :P
On the other hand, Beirus, you are a Master Swordsdwarf, which is something.
The Cranidos, Trumbeak, and Gliscor have been acquired; we *might* be able to afford one or two more when the rest of the trade goods make it to the depot.

Three of the elves' Pokémon were claimed in no time. RedMageCole wanted the Cranidos and Birdy the Trumbeak; these are things I am more than happy to provide to my friends. And MottledPetrel came to me and asked me for a Gliscor. MottledPetrel, with his army of Joltik, I had sought to conclude business with for some time, and I was glad to see him come to me with a request. So I told him, "some day, and this day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. Until that day, accept this Gliscor as a gift on the day of my Garchomps' evolution." He nodded and scurried off with his new Gliscor.
Before the elves left, though, I chanced upon AernJardos singing raucously in the tavern, and I sharply informed him that he would be assigned a Jigglypuff for his disorderly behaviour. He didn't seem to appreciate the gravity of the punishment. After purchasing these four Pokémon, Goldsilver's tradeable stock was exhausted, and the elves sent on their way.
I spent some time contemplating ways to expand our export capacity, with an eye to the benefits that could accrue to my own business interests if we become exporters of wool or Combee products. Unfortunately, the latter case would take some time, since my precious Combee hives had all been destroyed at some previous time and I was in still in the process of rebuilding them, but the Mareep shearing was progressing apace under the watchful eye of my protégé bloop_bleep. As I considered these things and others, my wandering brought me back to the site of the recent battle, and I noticed something that interrupted my train of thought with a bout of laughter: there, in a murky pool now more blood than water, several goblins were sleeping with the fishes.
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/sleeps-with-fishes1.png)
While in the midst of training RedMageCole's new Cranidos (under new fortress regulations dictating that all capable pokémon be trained for hunting or defense), a leatherworker was suddenly possessed by some unknown force, possibly a Darkrai, and charged off to the leatherworks floor. This was mildly dispiriting, since it suggested that the first artefact of my reign would most likely be pointless. Well, you can't win them all. I made a mental note to have the worker dumped in the goblin pond if the artefact disappointed me.
Then I stopped by the shearing station, which was in the process of being expanded. bloop_bleep, overseeing the construction, took a moment to ask me something strange about aliens and space and when I was going to have time to "update" something. I smiled blandly and responded "don't worry, overseeing Goldsilver comes first but there will be plenty of time for that afterward." bloop_bleep is a fine shearer, but he has always seemed a little odd sometimes. All that static from the Mareep wool might not be so good for the brain.
Around that same time, I had word that a few new migrants had just arrived to our beautiful fortress, and it seems they took the scenic route through the still-bloody battlefield, since every one of them was standing around crying about death when I got there. Obviously useless, the lot of them. I told them to stop shaming their families, but that just made them cry harder. At least they brought some Pokémon: a Golbat, a Gogoat, a Delphox, a Chesnaught, a Venusaur, and a Persian. No breeding pairs of anything, of course; that would have been dangerously close to being useful.
Considering the new arrivals, I decided to ask FirePheonix11 to draw up a list of all the unclaimed Pokémon in the fort, or at least all the ones we know about. I even resisted the urge to cross off all the Gabite and Flaaffy before posting it next to one of the glorious statues I'd commissioned for the tavern.
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/available-pokémon.png)
Those statues were after a design I'd created in order to remind the dwarves of Goldsilver about their ever-present silent protectors. I had been making a point to install them wherever I felt the decor needed some cheering-up.
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/secretive-eyes.png)
I had ordered similar customised statues for certain important fortress personae as well, to be placed in their personal rooms as a reminder that, even in their personal rooms, I am always watching. Watching out for them, that is, of course.
Meanwhile, the leatherworker finished his artefact, a Deino leather shield decorated with chunks of adamantine. After deliberation, I decided it was useful enough that I wouldn't bother executing its creator, for now.
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/revered-stalker.png)
FirePhoenix11 and RedMageCole informed me that they had learned a few facts about Luxray training. Luxrays, of course, will make a fine addition as ancillary agents to the Mareep Mafia. Before long, the same was true of Burmy and Grubbin training, which was less immediately interesting to me, but will probably make Mottled Petrel happy. Keeping one's business associates happy is the sort of thing one needs to understand to get ahead in the world.
Nothing of particular interest happened for a while after that. Until, of course, something did.
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/mega-medicham-has-come.png)
The cry went up: a Mega Medicham had been sighted approaching the fortress from the direction of the battleground (apparently the only place anything will arrive). There were always a few dwarves who had wandered out there to pick more items off the field of corpses, and the unlucky ones who had chosen to do so today were cut off from Goldsilver's entrance completely. This happened to include, for reasons which remain utterly beyond me, Goldsilver's rather no-account king, Bëmbul. This wasn't a problem as such, but Bëmbul had always been useful to the Mareep Mafia, even eager to let us take the real decisions off his plate – and it would be a shame to see him replaced with somebody who might get unfortunate ideas like "cleaning house" or "running a tight ship". So I sent the freshly-healed Nopal and his men to prevent such an occurence.
Meanwhile, I stood on the roof to watch and see whether they would succeed.

And what is this I hear about burmy and grubbin? I didn't see anything about them on the listThey weren't trained when I made the list, which is why the list appears before the note about training them. :P

Wow, our ponds are fucking BRUTAL. They've killed more dangerous enemies than all of our military.I didn't want to make any demeaning claims about our military without knowing the facts. But I thought we had greater weapons at our disposal than LITERAL PUDDLES. I can't complain with results though, lets just hope that weretreeko we drowned in the pond had a chance to bite it before it died. We're going to be fucking screwed if our guardian pond transforms at some point and comes to destroy us with it's ungodly might. And then it'll turn back into a pond in the middle of the fort, making an awfully inconvenient mess, which would also suck. Also, we've seem to have attracted another adept artist. Because of this, I have been !inspired! to start commissioning my own low quality, low effort art. Stay tuned for that.
Post by: MottledPetrel on December 07, 2017, 08:12:33 pm
We need a name for this pond, it's done enough for a title. I nominate "The Legendary Lake of Murder". Also, that art was pretty fun, so I might end up doing more. The thing I'm using is weird with the fill tool and transparency, so it might be a little while before I start adding backgrounds.

P.s. Nopal, your art in this thread is what originally inspired me to bust out my sketchbook. Haven't done any sketches in months.
If we ever somehow get a Gyarados, could we dump it in the murder pond and rename it "The Lake of Rage"?This is a fantastic idea. The Puddle will coat the Gyarados red with the blood of the fallen!

Listen closely now and I will tell you a story.
Way, way, back when GoldSilver was new... oh, was it only 4 years ago? Wow, time flies. Anyways, there once was a dwarf named Glass, our very own blacksmith, who became lodged in a
RedMageCole the Overseer of that Year shouted for Glass to come down. "Come down, come down, we have many blacksmithing works for you," said RedMageCole. But Glass could not come down, for he could not abandon his anvil. So RedMageCole said, "Charizard, Charizard, bring Glass down, we have many blacksmithing works for him." Charizard flew up to rescue his friend but try as he might he could not budge Glass, for Glass would not leave without his anvil.
Then wise RedMageCole said, "Nopal, Nopal, strike down this
That, young dwarflings, is the story of how GoldSilver rescued the Gift of Armok from the accursed domain of the elves.

Elves are the order, the suppliers and the master trainers of the day, of course. Well done on repelling the goblin law investigation!
The failure to produce some high value trade goods in few days is undestandable. Wonder if the elves will give you a loan?
Aren't Gliscor kinda tiny? They better have something sharp or poisonous to defend a lord. And guess you didn't need a loan after all.
Is there a non-disappointing leatherworking artifact, hm?
Maybe a shield, rope or a bag. Iron cloak, perchance, if going the way of removing core component.
...that's a lot of pokemon. Who really runs this fort?
...Nice creation for moded dwarf.

Deep in the bowels beneath GoldSilver, lurks something half forgotten.Sometimes I switch to its level and just watch it throw fire around at nothing for a while.
Excerpts from A Million Little Pichus: A Memoir, by Maximum Spin Valecrafts:
...but it wasn't more than a few seconds before I had to stop watching and shout down to the assembling soldiers to belay that order: Goldsilver would be defended not by cold iron, it turned out, but by glumprong.
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/mega-medicham-cage.png)
I had just begun to relax from this anticlimax when another cry went up, this time informing me that a Marksdwarf from the Decidueye Rangers, Birdy's squad, had been embroiled with a Slugma in the caverns. This was not an uncommon experience lately, since I had reopened operations on the magma pipe, so at first I dismissed it. Then, though, the messenger clarified: he meant to say that a Marksdwarf had been broiled by a Slugma in the caverns.
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/broiled-by-slugma.png)
It seemed that the man had previously managed to kill a Magcargo on his own, but now the lesser form had laid him low, and it was altogether too late for him now. Still, with the Slugma on the loose, it was necessary for me to run down to try to keep the problem contained.
The situation in the caverns continued to unfold as idiots ran into and out of the fire in all directions, though thus far only the late hunter had managed to catch fire personally. Even Paddywagon Man, normally a bastion of rationality, nearly charged into the flames to fetch some item for storage before seeing the (now several) Slugma and coming to her senses. Then, suddenly, I saw that some of the slugma were killed – not by dwarves, but by a wild Garchomp that had apparently taken a territorial attitude. For a moment, I wasn't sure which was more dangerous, and I worried that the valuable Garchomp might perish in the flames – but both fears were unfounded, as the Garchomp continued to barrel along its path, straight into a cage trap. I was starting to think that cage traps, not Mareep, might be the true saviours of Goldsilver.
Once the fire had burnt itself out, I went across to collect the Garchomp cage, but as I began to haul it back toward the staircase, a second wild Garchomp jumped out of a tree in front of me. Utterly offended by this insubordination, I chased away the Garchomp and it ran screaming in terror.
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/sad-garchomp.png)
Meanwhile, Bearskie picked up the cage I had dropped in the process, and later told me that he was accosted along the way by an engraver trying to tame the Garchomp with lettuce leaves. I began to wonder about FirePheonix11's reported "general familiarity" with Garchomp training, but when I asked him about it, he insisted that the Garchomp arrived at the Pokémon pens "skillfully trained" while still in its cage. Who knows, maybe Garchomp really like lettuce? Unfortunately, the Garchomp still in the caverns was a worse problem, as it soon found a victim less intimidating than me to maim, tearing off an unimportant stoneworker's arm. Nothing to send the military in over, but I'd have to keep an eye on the situation lest someone actually useful get hurt.
Mere minutes after I thought that, I heard that the Garchomp had engaged MCreeper. Luckily, as Captain of the Guard, MCreeper was more than capable of handling himself, and the Garchomp got the worst of it.
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/sadder-garchomp.png)
While all this was happening, I was busy personally attending to the training of RedMageCole's Cranidos, since by then several other dwarves had repeatedly failed to complete the task. I've always believed that the only way to ensure something is done right is to do it oneself, and, of course, when I stopped, there was damn well a trained Cranidos. I handed the leash to RedMageCole and stomped off to work out my frustration at all these useless layabouts by dragging around a giant pot of fish. People think the life of a gangster is easy, but, in reality, you've got to be willing to get your hands dirty, because you can't trust anyone else to get things done. And when you find someone you can trust to get things done, like Nopal, it's important to keep them close. And not just because they're the ones most likely to betray you.
In any case, after dealing with the fish pot and my simmering rage, I stood in the tavern for a little while and listened to MottledPetrel tell a story about his Joltik. It was obvious that the story was complete fiction, of course. MottledPetrel's a competent liar, but his skills are more than a little rusty. Still, it was nice to have a little time to relax, and, for the next several days, the most interesting thing happening around Goldsilver was the occasional masterpiece glumprong barrel churned out in the carpentry district. I wasn't sure why previous overseers had decided that it was a good idea to stock the fort exclusively with the heaviest kind of wood in existence, but it didn't really directly impact my business, so I decided to ignore the issue for now, especially since most of the logs were just there to be burned for ash and charcoal these days. At least the haulers were using this time to get the stocks into some semblance of order, although I suspected that any dreams I might have had of streamlining Goldsilver's rambling production chains would be of the "pipe" variety.
A little bit of excitement eventually arose when Glass punched a Slugma to death, but it was pretty fleeting; the beast didn't even set anyone on fire, to my dismay. I spent most of Hematite performing odd jobs and tending to my Combee hives, which were flourishing. This time was hardly unpleasant, but, looking back, I find it difficult to remember anything worth writing about. That changed, though, when the mayoral election came around, and my opportunity arose to replace Paddywagon Man, who, despite being one of my closest friends since before her days as an exotic dancer, had always been perhaps my greatest rival in terms of political power. It wasn't at all hard to arrange the election of MottledPetrel to the station, over whom, you may recall, I had already secured some leverage. I decided to commission a commemorative statue for the occasion.
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/the-price-of-power.png)
BTW, I love how my dwarf keeps doing narratively convenient things at just the right times. I didn't have to make up any of those things I said I did!

I already dedicated one of the empty rooms to Baltoy storage. We have a lot of damn Baltoy.Back in Diamond, I kept getting Silcoon-fated Wurmples when I already had a Beautifly and was trying to get a Cascoon. So I made a special PC box just for them and called it Butterfly Hell. (Well, "Bfly Hel" due to the character limit, but I thought of it as Butterfly Hell.)
So I put a note in the Baltoy room to indicate that it is Baltoy Hell.

Excerpts from A Million Little Pichus: A Memoir, by Maximum Spin Valecrafts:
After Mottled Petrel's election, events in GoldSilver settled down considerably, which was for the best, since at the same time I was struck by a sickness and unable to devote much attention to my businesses. But the respite is never long enough, and my recovery was interrupted with reports that a Bronzong in the caverns had become aggressive, injuring Birdy and his beloved Trumbeak. I mobilised the army (including, redundantly, Birdy himself) and hoped they would arrive in time. They did, and, though the Bronzong wasn't killed – they're far too resilient – it was successfully driven off without serious casualties.
Or so I thought, until I heard that it had fired off one last blast of Extrasensory as it ran off, which, by sheer terrible luck, killed the Trumbeak. I was just about to offer my condolences when I was informed that Birdy hadn't actually been told yet. Less than eager to be the one to tell him, then, I simply made a mental note to act surprised if he ever found out.
Just before the end of the next month, a party of migrants arrived at our borders. I had no reason to feel concerned about this at first, until my associate Nopal ran up to me and reminded me that his business interests required that GoldSilver's population not exceed 120 hands, for tax purposes, and that the newcomers already sighted would bring us dangerously close to exceeding that limit. Therefore, I dispatched Azalea to run to the front gate lever and pull it, which she accomplished just in time to prevent anyone from formally entering our walls, although one immigrant cook experienced a brief and ultimately harmless moment of flight when caught on the closing drawbridge. Though two of our less important citizens were caught outside, I decreed that the gate would remain closed until we could be certain that the incoming party was safely within the allowable population limit.
Regrettably, a quick headcount of the confused, milling peasants from atop the heights of Paddywagon Man's gulpin temple quickly made it clear that they were not. If those outside were allowed to enter, GoldSilver would technically boast 122 dwarven citizens, which is obviously unacceptable. Several of us argued for a while about what to do: let the outsiders starve to death (which could take months, since they have plenty of fresh water and forage plants), suspend Nopal's requirement, or simply execute two children (starting with Melkor). I was able to delay the problem without taking a side, though, by simply asserting that, logically, the gate must remain closed until the fortress came to a consensus — likely, I figured, to take longer than the remainder of my term as overseer. Unfortunately, I also knew that I'd want to open the gate before that, to receive the next caravans, so it would no doubt become necessary for me to intervene directly before long.

Excerpts from A Million Little Pichus: A Memoir, by Maximum Spin Valecrafts:
To solve the little population problem, Nopal and I took a trip down to the throne room to see King Bëmbul. A noted patron of the arts, I knew Bëmbul would be swayed once I extemporaneously delivered the new poem I had just written for him, a sonnet employing querns as a metaphor for the beauty and fragility of dwarven life. After I finished, King Bëmbul took a solemn look back at the special statues I'd ordered placed in his hall, further proof of my dedication to the arts, and agreed to change the tax law so that Nopal's businesses would not suffer from the immigration.
So, I ordered the lever pulled again and the newcomers welcomed to Goldsilver. This time it was Beirus who performed the task, and a careless blacksmith was almost crushed under the bridge in the process, but everything ultimately turned out okay.
Perhaps feeling the need to reassert power, King Bëmbul came to me and demanded I find someone to carve him a pair of amulets, but other than that, which was easily sorted out, the next few days were uneventful. I was beginning to feel like my reign had gone on for too long without enough happening. The project I'd deemed most important, paving over the magma pipe to prevent further deadly Slugma intrusions, was agonisingly slow, and would probably take years to fully complete. Other than that... well, I guess I discovered that my overseership might slightly lack vision when there aren't any demons to kill. All in all, though, having a stable and productive year without too many major hiccups is probably for the best.
A tiny bit more excitement, though not much, arose when a metalcrafter who had been lazing about in the library suddenly had some kind of grand idea and took over one of the forges, running off to claim some valuable gemstones and adamantine wafers for what would probably be a useless project. Sometimes I wish I could just replace all these dwarves with Mareep. Mareep never get fancy notions or waste precious resources on vanity projects. I told him that I was reserving the right to throw him in The Pond if his creation didn't thrill me.
So what did our metalcrafter make, you ask?
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/artifact-amulet.png)
A crappy amulet. Emblazoned with the image of a baroness who isn't Paddywagon Man, and a Queen who isn't me. Waste of good metal and gems, hell, even a waste of good Swinub leather.
I told Led, the crafter, in no uncertain terms that the only reason he was still alive is that I could probably use this to get one of the amulet-obsessed nobles to do me a favour later.
Not too long afterward, Autumn came, and with it another swarm of goblin soldiers, at the same place where everyone always shows up. I dispatched the military once again, noticing in the process that the goblins didn't seem to have any Pokémon with them this time, and that one of them was already vomiting in horror at the bloody field before them. The first soldier to charge out of our gate was, oddly, King Bëmbul. Maybe he got more from my philosophical story about life and querns than the mere veiled threat I'd intended. In any case, Goldsilver's team of master macedwarves was close behind him in support, so I wasn't too worried about the political ramifications.
Within minutes both of Bëmbul's arms had been shattered and a goblin had ripped out his tongue.
The same goblin immediately bit the King on the head and latched on, which did nothing to ease the nearby macedwarves' rescue attempt, especially when they too were embroiled. The macedwarves were far more competent and had sustained no serious damage, but it wasn't long before the cry went up...
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/bëmbul-dead.png)
I was mildly annoyed that he hadn't had the decency to do it before I'd wasted perfectly good stone on those amulets he ordered.
While the battle on the surface raged without any further serious injuries, I ran down a few flights of stairs looking for a sufficiently simple-minded lackey to hastily declare King. I eventually found one in the person of Mistêm Polishoils, who I knew to be steadfastly loyal and properly respectful of the sort of cunning I'm best at, though perhaps a little more intellectual than I would've liked. I hoped he wouldn't ask too many questions like "why is my throne room full of statues of the last king being tortured?"...
Spoiler: Mistêm's thoughts screen (click to show/hide)
By the time I got back to the tower, the battlefield was a good deal bloodier and it was clear that our side was starting to take damage, although nobody else had actually died yet. In particular, of the dwarves important enough for me to actually know their names, Azalea was on the ground and looking pretty worse for the wear, and Beirus had begun to flag. On the other hand, there were only five goblins left alive, so if we could wipe them out quickly enough, everything would probably be okay.
Soon there were only three.
Then two.
Then one. I called off the civilian alert so that the wounded could be brought in for treatment while the military finished the job. And so Bëmbul's body could be retrieved, of course. I suggested we throw it in the pond, but Nopal told me that would probably make the new king sad.
And finally, the job was done, and Goldsilver's loyal soldiers began trudging home. Azalea, Beirus, Nopal, and MCreeper had all scored some kills, while Paddywagon Man had been late to the party once again. He managed to stab one goblin in the shoulder this time, though, which I was sure we'd never hear the end of. Due to the position of the fight, the Pond scored zero kills this time, but the river did get one. And some goblin's hand, somehow. Looking up, I saw that the trees were once again festively decorated, and... there was a siege engineer in one. How long had he been there? I have no idea, and neither did he. Irritated, I ordered a stair built into the tree, since cutting it would probably just send him tumbling into the Pond.
On the way back from the battlefield, a gelder bled out, but everyone else seemed stable. Needless to say, nobody in Goldsilver bothered trying to help on any reasonable timetable. Help pick up the loot, sure, but help carrying a half-paralysed Azalea to the hospital? Nonsense.
Eventually, though, xSkeletalx's cracked team of medical 'experts' were on the case, and all was quiet in Goldsilver once again. Uh, except for the screaming coming from the hospital.
At this point I noticed that one of the stray Garchomp I'd been watching over (with the intent of claiming them if nobody else did) had been missing for some time. I thought back to a fire that had happened a week ago in the caverns, due to a rogue Magcargo... sealing the magma pipe would have to be a top priority for the next two seasons. Goblins, it seemed, were nothing compared to fire in Goldsilver — or to our true foe in the depths, I thought, and shuddered. But that sort of thought, at the time, I pushed out of my mind. The horrors I knew lurked below us were one thing, but there were more pressing horrors to think about.
I was interrupted by the broker telling me that the trade caravan from the dwarven civilisation we'd sort of inadvertantly joined had arrived. I told him to round people up to start dragging "high-quality goblin imports" from the battlefield to the depot. This thought was immediately followed up by an even more striking one: "Holy shit, we can trade amulets now!" – for a single moment until I remembered that baron Shidoni also loves amulets, and might demand a ban on exports at any moment. Still, for at least a little while, amulets were technically a legal trade good in Goldsilver again, so I had some bins of amulets brought up as well.
And then it was time for Mayor Mottled Petrel to meet with the diplomat as usual. He was pleased, it seems, to inform us that we had been declared a barony, despite having literally housed three consecutive kings of the realm who were definitely not consulted by anybody in the process of declaring Goldsilver a barony. In any case, I rushed to the room to ensure that Mottled Petrel made the right choice of baron to elevate, and...
Well, who did I choose?
I wanted to play to the end of the year for this update
but then we got a baron.
So, does Paddywagon Man win or lose? THE CHOICE IS YOURS,
(also the diplomat sniped me before I got a chance to see what new pokémon are on offer, so I'll probably have to ask you guys about that, too.)

I told him that I was reserving the right to throw him in The Pond if his creation didn't thrill me.I love how other fortresses threaten with the magma sea or elaborate death labyrinths and our threat is "throw them in THE POND." With probably a higher fatality rate.

In Memory of Good King Bëmbul by AernJardos
Dwarves we are and dwarves we remain,
With each passing throb of the blood in our veins,
Our souls strive for work, our minds united,
The idle wanders lost, by all slighted.
How like the quern that grinds its daily grist,
Is the dwarf that labours in our midst,
And with every twist and every turn,
Mills what is given, gives what is earned.
Until at last, with one final breath, with one final gasp,
The base wears thin, the handle snaps.
A single stone a size too large,
A reckless assault, an ill-fated charge,
Brings to a screeching halt a valiant life,
Good King Bëmbul departs this world of strife.
His handstone quiet, it will turn no more,
From his spout no flour will ever pour,
His wife will grieve, his children mourn,
As they tend their own off-balanced quern.

I guess my vote goes to Paddywagon Man, that was a pretty impressive shoulder mangling. From what I hear, it was as if a Forgotten Beast of Legend with a single swipe detached the goblin's shoulder, flinging it a good hundred urists.

Post by: Maximum Spin on January 14, 2018, 03:20:33 pm
Anyway.
Excerpts from A Million Little Pichus: A Memoir, by Maximum Spin Valecrafts:
Needless to say, I simply nodded surreptitiously, indicating to Mottled Petrel that he should follow the predetermined plan and nominate Paddywagon Man as Baroness of Goldsilver. Despite our occasional rivalry, Paddywagon Man was a genuine friend and ally, and helping her achieve her sole ambition was simply the obvious course of action. I was confident that I had made the right choice.
After the diplomat noted down Paddywagon Man's name, he moved on to a new monologue, solemnly informing both Mottled Petrel and me that Bëmbul Plantongs had been replaced as the king of our nation by Mistêm Polishoils. Even Mottled Petrel (generally perhaps not the brightest or most political bulb) knew enough to follow my lead in smiling blandly and pretending to be interested in the 'news'.
Finally, we got to matters of business, and found out what prices our merchants would be willing to pay in the next year, allowing me to direct our production for maximum profits.
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/export-104.png)
After which it was on to the trading. My efforts on behalf of Goldsilver's industry had brought our tradeable good stocks far more in line with the level to which I'm accustomed, and I was ultimately able to bargain for every item the merchants carried which struck me as remotely useful, including four Eevees, three Deino, a Grovyle, and a Tepig, all of which I offered up for others to claim.
Just as the merchants were leaving our gates, Shidoni ran up to me and told me to be sure not to trade away any of our precious amulets. Needless to say, I assured him that I would not, and carefully directed his attention away from the pile of amulets already on the caravan, hoping that this would not cause too many problems later. Three of the merchants' Eevees also became Leafeons while the cage were being moved.
Nothing else interesting happened for several weeks, although I did learn that Shidoni had ordered several dwarves imprisoned for violating his export ban. Since none of those dwarves were me, I didn't bother to look into it. Eventually, a gem setter announced to everyone that he had created an amulet of red zircon called Jaildrove the Inconsiderate Points, which may possibly have been related to this event. It was nothing particularly incredible, but, since it did not waste any resources other than a single cluster of zircon, I saw no reason to threaten him.
After a while, a wild Garchomp – perhaps the same one from before – tore apart a couple of peasants in the caverns. Nobody important. Birdy then murdered it to death. A Bronzong then killed a trader in another part of the cavern, crushing the ribs through the heart with a blast of Extrasensory. La plus ça change.
Alas. The Forgotten Beast èshgor, an enormous fidgeting Muk, has come. All is lost, etc.
(http://makeitgreataga.in/dwarf/goldsilver/enormous-muk.png)
It had poisonous gas but I sent the military out against it anyway, because what's life without some adventure? First on the scene was King Mistêm, and I eagerly awaited to see if I could kill two monarchs in one year. In about ten seconds, Birdy managed to kill the beast with a bolt, but the King was briefly exposed to its poisonous gas, so I was excited to see what would happen. I followed him as he climbed the stairs to get a drink, then suddenly stopped and declared he felt the need to stop by the hospital – but once Lolor the Diagnoser came in, it transpired that the King only had some mildly irritated lung tissue, with no need for treatment. I was a little disappointed, but I decided to keep an eye on him in case new symptoms arose, for we had seen these beasts' poisons capable of strange marvels in the past.
Mottled Petrel evidently expects the worst, since he quickly demanded someone carve a crutch. I also heard from him that he believed Goldsilver had learned a few facts about Mega Medicham training due to his efforts to commune with the beast Thothil. I think it may have been feeding off his fading sanity somehow.
With winter drawing to a close, Paddywagon Man still had not been officially declared a baroness, and I despaired of the outpost liaison ever leaving the tavern long enough to achieve this. I simply informed her that she would always be baroness of our hearts. She threw a goblet at me, but I kindly chose not to have her tortured for it.
As another sign of spring nearing, a variety of pokémon eggs were laid. There were only a few varieties for which we had breeding pairs, but still enough to give me hope for the future. Leafeon, Purrloin, Gabite, Garchomp, and Joltik eggs promised new generations of pokémon for our fort. The possibility of a future animal products industry didn't escape my notice either, although it was always hard to convince anyone to allow pokémon to go under the butcher's knife – then again, Leafeon seemed particularly unpopular among those same circles, so perhaps, I thought, the idea would meet less resistance now.
In the meantime, the year of my overseership was winding down – and such a long year it seemed to have been! I took some time to look around me and witness the majesty of our surroundings and of my kinsmen.

As if to emphasize the point, a mad clothier began his mysterious construction just as our female Charmeleon evolved, finally providing a mate for Glass' Charizard.
Truly, Goldsilver was an amazing place. It was almost a pity, I reflected, that it would inevitably be destroyed.

---
Just another day in my mayor's office with my advisor Thothil. He's been using his telepathic psycic whatever powers to try to convince me to let him go since I moved him into my office, his most recent tactic was to bombard me with created scenes of my family being tortured. After seeing my mother ripped to shreds before me in my minds eye for about the fifth time today his voice bellowed through my mind "RELEASE ME YOU WEAK DWARF! RELEASE ME OR THE TORMENT WILL CONTINUE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!".
Despite myself, I couldn't help but laugh. This angered Thothil "WHAT'S SO FUNNY!". Still laughing I responded "Oh Thothil, you jokester you, if you were the all powerful psychic lord you want me to believe you are you'd know that my entire family is already dead." despite all of his natural powers, Thothil was still just a pokemon. Thothil floundered for a moment "Wha-..." I could feel him probing my mind "Oh, I probably should have noticed that... How about this, after reading the minds of your other, fort members, I have found out that it is a couple more years until you are in line to lead. If I pull some strings in their minds and get you to rule now, will you release me?" I stifled a laugh "No, but you can try and see what that gets you.". Thothil frowned, but pulled out of my mind, likely to move his psychic tendrils into other people's minds. I went back to the paper work in front of me, but inevitably my eyes wandered around the room.
(https://i.imgur.com/Z0XTnGr.png)
This office/dining room/bedroom won't do, I'd like it to be a little better before I can truly lead the fort. To remedy this I started filling out a mandate form for two weapon racks.
(https://i.imgur.com/GICO4Jz.png)
The ghost of Kel floats through my door, and offers a wimpy "boooooo". Damn, there have been a lot of ghosts here recently. Behind him comes Maximum Spin, the current overseer. He looked like he was drunk, but the hollow look in his eyes told me that this was probably Thothil's work "Hey, uh, Mottled Petrel. You're a pretty cool guy, right? I've been thinking, uh, maybe you could, like, be overseer for a little while? Like, a year, or more, maybe. You can still be mayor and all, but... yeah, you can be overseer.".
"How about now, weak dwarf, will you release me now that I have granted you power? I know your kind always craves power." I rolled my eyes "Did you not hear me say I wouldn't release you if you made me overseer?" Thothil looked down "Yeah, I heard it, I was just hoping you might change your mind...". Well, I guess I'm overseer now. First order of business, I want my room at least smoothed out. Now. Second, lets check the list of dwarves currently in the fort. Actually, scratch that, second is to just look around the fort.
(https://i.imgur.com/kTMa80x.png)
I walk to the surface and have a look around, I'm greeted by a large pile of goblin corpses. Third action is going to be digging a deep pit we can drop all of these bodies in, because all of the flesh tendrils now growing on this pile is a bit unsettling.
(https://i.imgur.com/vst1Uz3.png)
Which brings me to my fourth point, the entirety of the entrance building is an ankle deep pool of vomit. I'm not sure if there is much I can do about that other than just asking some haulers nicely to clean it up.
(https://i.imgur.com/bHiqPGt.png)
Sixth, we only have one training room for all three squads. This is too little space for live weapons practice, this will be remedied by moving one of the weapon racks I've mandated to the floor above and make that the new barracks.
(https://i.imgur.com/b87OFUR.png)
Why do we even have this room? It's completely empty. Seventh, there are way too many trees out here to be able to get anything done, all trees in the immediate area are to be chopped down and made into my eighth point.

Have any of these savages heard of bins? We'd be able to cut our storage footprint immensely if we had more than 10 bins in the entire fort.

There is also an entire room filled with nothing but clay fisheries, ninth will be to remove a good number of these to free up space for more useful things. What these things will be, I do not know.

I've also noticed that there is a lot of graphitee around the fort, it's actually kinda funny, and generally too much effort to remove. I'm also a bit concerned by the ludicrous amount of weapons traps in the king's room's.
(https://i.imgur.com/tX4ovAa.png)
Most of them are training weapons, but a worrying amount are made out of sharp glass. I, might, remove them for safety reasons.

Cavern security is...
(https://i.imgur.com/pLhXMsv.png)
The forges sit idle, and are vulnerable to attack from anything that decides to come up through the magma, extreme defense measures must be taken. In addition, all hands not being used to fortify the area will be put to creating weapons and armor for the army. Anyone further migrants deemed unessential to the fort will be placed into the army. Speaking of which, none of the army is training, "Get back to training, we have to be ready for an all out pokemon invasion! I want each and everyone of you to be able to kill a garchomp with with only your bare hands and both of your legs tied behind your back!". Finally, once the fort is secured and is ready to defend against the butterfree hoards, I will have an arena dug out. Any pokemon we catch that are too wild, too dangerous, or too useless will be pitted against any caged prisoners we may have.

I think we may already have our first match up... Anyway, this is just my preliminary look at the fort and my plan to fix it, I better get to work.

This is my first succession fort, so I was expecting things to have been done differently than how I would have done them. But why is there a room filled to the brim with clay fisheries? Why is the depot filled with useful but forbidden items? Why is there a ton of totally undefended entrances to the caverns that people don't even use?

Why is there a dead outpost liaison next to the main stairway on top of a butcher's table? You guys haven't become cannibals before I got here, have you?

The production floor is a mess. Everything is scattered about and I can't find the necessary workshops to tell people to make bins, weapon racks, and slabs.
(https://i.imgur.com/gLFIBcA.png)
The entrance level below ground looks more like a naturally forming air pocket below a swamp than a dwarven grand hallway. In addition, one of our previous outpost liaisons is currently laying face up, dead, on a butcher's table. I need to find who's responsible for this, I don't need any cannibals in my fort. The refuse stockpile is also full of joltik corpses, they will be missed. First order of business is to get the body pit dug out, but I find that there are only two miners in the fort.

This will be remedied.

Thankfully, the engravers have started smoothing my room over. Unfortunately, my room is still right next to the jail cells, so my property value is still abysmal.

I can't believe this, I have to get the workers to remove one of my statues before they can finish smoothing, the nerve of them.

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? First I have to dismantle my office/room and now I'm not even allowed to be mayor? Whatever, but you aren't taking my room, you can go mine out your own with all the nice copper picks I just had made.
I assign the big empty room to be the new barracks, but no one moves to it. Fine, I hope you all get paper cuts from each other's weapons. Especially you, MCreeper, stealing my office as 'mayor'.
(https://i.imgur.com/1h5We8c.png)
A human diplomat has arrived, it would have been my job to talk to him, but MCreeper decided he'd be a better 'mayor' than me. So now HE'S talking to the diplomat, because he's the 'mayor'. Oh wait, now the diplomat is talking to Paddywagon Man instead of ME.
Apparently the human diplomat was from some elven civilization, Paddywagon Man told me, with me not listening because I was busy sulking over the loss of my status as mayor. They wanted to implement a tree cutting ban or something. I didn't want to hear it "I don't care what they want us to do, I'll be sure to mount his head on a wooden pike if he doesn't take his tree cutting nonsense out of here right now!". Paddywagon Man walked off to tell the diplomat, but I didn't care to wait to see what the response was. So I called the 'mayor' MCreeper with his dirty beard and his stupid face and told him to do what 'mayors' do and deal with the diplomat.
"Uh, isn't Paddywagon Man handling the diplomacy. I'm not sure I'd be ab-" "I WANT YOU TO KILL THAT PRISSY DIPLOMAT! I DON'T CARE WHY HE'S HERE OR WHAT HE WANTS, THE ELVES WILL NOT PUSH US AROUND!". The 'mayor' MCreeper weighed his options for a moment, but eventually waved the rest of his squad down.
(https://i.imgur.com/HSiZqQt.png)
Paddywagon man apparently got the message, and slew the diplomat before the 'mayor' could get down to him. I gave MCreeper a slow clap as he walked back up the the barracks "Good job 'mayor', you couldn't even get down there in time to help out your squad mate". MCreeper just gave me a look like 'dude, what the hell is your problem'.
In hind sight, that was probably a bad idea, but I don't care, that's the 'mayor's' problem. I don't even know where the fight took place, but hopefully they didn't just leave his corpse on a butcher's table somewhere.
(https://i.imgur.com/A4cE20z.png)
Oh good, more elves to bite my thumb at, or should I say, for the 'mayor' to bite his thumb at.
(https://i.imgur.com/JBg0Qew.png)
They actually brought a lot of pokemon, I think I'll wait a little bit to see what the 'mayor's' decision will be. Look at him over there, stealing my position, living it up over there with his unkempt beard and his 'mayor' pin. Not to mention his dumb pants that don't even match his shirt.
I think, I think I'm going to curl up in this corner for a little bit, and cry some manly tears, just... just a little... (the rest of the page is soaked in tears)
---
So, that got out of hand really quickly. I'm too over tired to be making rational decisions, and for whatever reason I really latched onto the 'I lost mayor' thing. My general hatred of elves pushed me over the edge, and I recall earlier in the thread people didn't want to piss of the elves. If you guys want, I'm only like 10 days in, so I could revert the save if this is a problem. But for now, I'm going to hopefully get some sleep.

There is actually a good bit of truth to this. While the elves are nice to have around in the early years, it does become a bit too easy to become inundated with pets. I'm thinking that full-scale war against them would be welcome at this point.

That's why there was a room full of clay fisheries.
Nothing should've been forbidden, in the depot or elsewhere, except for all the trash to be sold off, though, like I said before.
BTW, uh, you might want to take a closer look at that statue. And then some of the others lying around. :P

Oh. And I might have a suggestion. If we can somehow catch a Steelix, it might be wise to pen it behind a fortification or two as target practice for any new Marksdwarf squads. If we use wooden bolts, we might not be able to pierce it's sides, but experience will be gained all the same.

Two marksdwarves happened to already be in the area, and opened fired. One elf gets pegged in the chest with a bolt, he'll bleed to death in no time. Other fighters get to the scene, including the 'mayor'. Nopal bites a piloswine so hard that his teeth sink through the muscle to tear apart a kidney, which was actually pretty brutal to watch. He then caves in the skulls of a few elves, before biting an elf so hard that she literally fucking tore his heart apart through his chest and his ribs. It looked like he latched on firmly and was about tear the elves heart out and eat it, but the explosion of blood in his mouth was a bit too much for him.
The 'mayor' kept slashing at feet and hands, probably because he was too preoccupied with thinking about all the 'mayor' things he's going to do later. At this point a lot of other fighters were down in the main hallway, but for the most part they were bashing the elves without doing much more than bruising them. These guys will have to be drilled harder.
As the fighters barreled out of the entrance to try to catch up to the running elves a stone worker is pushed out of the way. With by far the worst luck in imaginable he managed to fall in such a way that he broke his legs, his ribs, and got one of his broken ribs jammed through his right lung. I'm not paying him worker's compensation, he probably fell purposefully so that I would, but I'm not. Nopal punches another elf so hard that his skull is instantly shattered, sending large bits of bone tearing through his brain and out the other side into the air. I am REALLY going to have to get some guys clean this up.
The final elf almost got away, but Nopal punched him in the lower leg as he was running. Doing so caused the leg to fly out sideways, utterly destroying the knee it was attached to. Needless to say, the elf went down. He lay on the ground with what was left of his leg flailing wildly in directions that a leg shouldn't travel. He rolled on his back, and began frantically crying out ludicrous phrases like "have some compassion", "we only wanted to trade", "please, let me go" and my personal favorite "I have kids I need to raise at home". Ha, as if elves aren't just thrown into the woods when they are born. Left to eat grass, fondle trees, and yell at other civilized people for their lack of tree fondling. It's in their instincts, in their blood, in their very souls. They're like a semi-wild animal, you can have them be around you and they'll try to act like they're behaving, but you will never get them to stop scratching their flees with their feet or breed their feral nature out of them. If you really think about it, we're doing them a favor, no creature should have to exist in such perpetual torment as they do.
It seems that Nopal felt the same way as I did. He stomped up to the grounded elf, and without even a momentary blink or twinge in his face he raised his foot and crushed the elf's head into a bloody pulp with a single stomp. Blood, brain matter, and skull bits splattered onto his face, still unchanging, unblinking. He brought his foot up again, still dripping with fresh blood, and again drove it home into the red and gray puddle that used to be the source of the elvish insanity. Again and again did he do this, and somewhere along the way he let loose a horrid mix of a shout of rage and a feral snarl, and held it, sending a chill through the bones of those who could hear it. It looked like he was about to start foaming at the mouth, before he stopped and gave the now finely minced corpse a final kick to the rib cage that sent it flying. It hit a nearby tree, and what recognizable parts that were left of it almost disintegrated in the ensuing cloud of viscera.

...Welp, the elf infestation has been dealt with, time to dump their useless crap and start doling out the animals they brought with them.
(https://i.imgur.com/jP7zxx2.png)
Time to start working on the moat as well, expanding the range of the blood thirsty spirit of The Pond is exactly what we need to ensure death to our enemies. As of now, all fisherdwarves and fishery workers, except one, are now miners. We have like 7 still active fish related dwarves while we have more food than anyone could ever possibly need, so their hands will now be put somewhere currently more useful. The dirt, because they're going to be digging it out for the moat. Ha, ha... GET TO WORK!

Entry 4: Where Mottled Petrel covers the fort in a tidal wave of blood and floods everything else.

(https://i.imgur.com/AB8mBn1.png)
After the killing of the elves the 'mayor' decided that it would be a good idea for more maces to be made. I 'might' get around to doing it. It also turns out that that stoneworker who got his ribcage and legs destroyed didn't make it... one less potential warrior.
(https://i.imgur.com/zW3WQGL.png)
Wat?...
Uh...
I guess we have a new king now? No reason has been supplied as to why the king has been replaced, or why this guy is now the new king, but everyone seems to be okay with it, so... I guess I'll move the room designations around.
It seems that the new king already owns the throne room... On another note, the corpse pit has been dug, it's been a logistical nightmare pointing out every individual tooth and toe nail for dumping.
(https://i.imgur.com/fog0oim.png)
It seems that I was a bit over zealous with my moat digging, I'll patch this up as soon as possible, can't have any potential breaches in security.
(https://i.imgur.com/6qs22Hj.png)
Alright, why did everyone decide to channel out all of the surrounding ponds to spill directly into the fort. "THOTHIIIIL! DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS?".
(https://i.imgur.com/AllLRh0.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/SydSqwK.png)
At least people are liking the king size shower they're getting as they walk up the stairs. I can tell that no one here was washed in years, because there is a literal pile of filth and blood that is growing at the foot of the main staircase where the water is now collecting.
(https://i.imgur.com/BPy00JU.png)
Maximum Spin decided it was a good idea to connect the moat to the river early, and is now floundering at the bottom of the now filling moat.

God, how much blood was plastered all over these people, I'm starting to think that accidentally flooding the fort was a good idea.
All right, this is getting out of hand. I'm ordering a few reservoirs dug to try to sap up some of the extra water so that we can try to get this going a little bit smoother. I'm not going to connect it until to the moat until it is completely dug out.
(https://i.imgur.com/ie3j5rG.png)
OH GOD DAMMIT!
Oh boy, migrants, everyone pick up a pick and get into the moat. Please, take a minute to luxuriate in our patented full body shower/spa with natural rejuvenating oils and red shampoo.
(https://i.imgur.com/wb7e9wg.png)
Novice swimmer, good, hopefully that'll do you good. Ironically, almost all of the migrants claimed to be novice swimmers. I might start a professional swimming team if any of these new guys actually survive. Actually, all of them (20 or so) were novice swimmers, very convenient, and a little concerning.
(https://i.imgur.com/1khcxkj.png)
I have no idea what is going on anymore, somewhere along the line a tree got dropped on one of the miners in the trenches. It hit him a glancing blow in the leg, and caused him to throw up. I'm not a doctor, but I generally know where the innards are. I don't think the stomach is located in the leg. I should really get out of these waterlogged trenches and get some sleep. Some sleep in the dirty waterlogged fort.
We really need to get this moat under control, if any enemies come now we're all fucked.
This reservoir is already the worst hack job I've ever done in regards to anything, I might as well make it massive to over compensate for this.
(https://i.imgur.com/NlMFwnI.png)
Just what we needed, a giant feathered snake appearing in the one cavern layer with NO DEFENSES! I'm not even going to hope that the snake wanders away from the nonexistent door, it was spotted appearing right next to it, so I'm just going to send the army down there. Have fun guys.
(https://i.imgur.com/7SAbpt6.png)
As I expected, the snake is making a b-line to the entrance, I'm ordering some coffins made in response. An unfortunate shearer is the first one to be caught in the line of carnage, luckily, this shearer was farther down the staircase. The viper takes joy in sticking the shearer with its horn like a pincushion. A swampert also arrives at the scene, and manages to fracture the snake's upper spine. He dies shortly after.
(https://i.imgur.com/IgjxVmS.png)
A gengar is next, and succesfully hits the viper with confuse ray. The viper is unamused, and proceeds to tear the fuck out of the gengar. As this happens they somehow manage to fight their way back up the stairs and back into the entrance area to the caverns.
(https://i.imgur.com/vRcfSI9.png)
Uhh, smoke is now coming off of the forgotten beast. It is either on fire, or is literally seething with rage. Before I can even have the time to wonder about what the hell was happening the 'mayor' gets there, it appears he was finally able to tear his attention away from his ever important 'mayor' duties to actually respond to a fort threat for once. But the 'mayor' refused to actually use his weapon, instead opting to punch the snake, doing little more than bruising the scale while another fighter desperately tried to poke for his life with his copper spear. Damn, I need to make these guys some better weapons.
Finally, after a lot of prancing around the battle field, the 'mayor' feels like he should actually do something other than just being dirty and old and slits the snake's throat in one clean slash. Sending a fire hose of livid blood spraying out into the hallway. Unfortunately, a snake can still bite with its head cut off, and this snakes head was still attached so it bit even more. After feeling that he had contributed enough to the battle, the 'mayor' went back to dicking around with the snake by slapping its tongue with the flat of his sword a few times, doing literally no damage. The speardwarf continued to frantically stab at the giant coiling beast in front of him, still spraying blood. A macedwarf had also arrived on the scene, but could do little more than bruise such a large and fleshy target. Nopal arrived at the scene as well, and decided to jump and land his death loving foot squarely in the right eye of the snake. The snake still seemed unamused, despite having most of its already simple body mostly destroyed.
(https://i.imgur.com/MCLZ01h.png)
One of the newer recruits decided it was a good idea to JUMP INSIDE THE SNAKES MOUTH AND BITE ITS TONGUE!. The snake was much, much, much larger than he was, and could easily have swallowed him whole. This action also revealed that the snake's tongue was covered in scales for some reason. I'm not going to question evolution, but why the actual fuck was his tongue covered in scales. Another speardwarf, a certain Thob Vutoksarek, decided that he didn't want to see his fellow fighter be swallowed whole and slew the beast with a spear thrust to the brain...
(https://i.imgur.com/XgwtWhz.png)
I'm having some doors installed in that entry way, I don't want anymore giant, feathered, one horned seviper wandering in.
(https://i.imgur.com/bWoEJmQ.png)
In other news, I managed to finally get people to board up the leak and things are now starting to dry out. The initial covering of blood the fort initially received is now exponentially worse. The blood is more widespread and on average 6 layers deep, with some areas reaching up to 10. Not only that, but the blood is unimaginably diverse in origin, I'm having people point out the blood of creatures I didn't even know had visited the fort. I still have yet to even connect the moat to the river, so there's still plenty of room for more flooding. I guess I've got that to look forward to, and it's only the 23rd of Slate.
---
In my haste I seem to have flooded a good portion of the fort and coated it in several layers of blood, on the bright side it seems that the fort loved it and many people are a lot less stressed than they were. Even more so, I managed to clean all of the blood off of the people that were soaked in it. It's good that they're squeaky clean for a little while before they are inevitably turn back to being almost blood men. I don't care how many people die in the construction of this moat, I'm committed, it's going to be built even if the only thing still alive in this fort when I'm done are water types.

Also, the miner was probably vomiting from sunlight exposure, and it's just that being hit by a tree put him in the combat reports where every individual vomit gets logged.

I didn't bother to look at the migrants, I just gave them all the mining profession and dumped them into the moat to try to stop the fort from flooding. I recall seeing some high level metalcrafter, but other than that it was low level farmers and novice swimmers.
Maximum Spin, words can be had but it's not going to bring the mafioso back from his watery grave :P.

A few of the archers have been asking me to put some wild steel types up for target practice, but I feel that the magneton's ability to both fly and shoot lightning makes them too dangerous of a target. Speaking of which, I will now start the fortification of the cave entrances. It seems that some one somewhere has been set to extract clay for the rest of their lives, I have no idea where this is happening, but the walls in the caves will be made out of clay.
Fucking hell, who in their right mind would have added so many entrances... TO THE SAME DAMN LAYER! There's at least three stairways that I can find that lead directly into the fort, and even more tunnels that connect to said stairways. This is going to be a nightmare.
(https://i.imgur.com/Rs1lbXV.png)
I mean seriously, who makes an opening like this for any other reason than to let cave monsters into the fort, because 9 out of 10 people who live here probably wouldn't be able to climb up this tree and into the stair well if their lives depended on it.
(https://i.imgur.com/G4C1Sns.png)
Ironically, it seems that a tree has grown to block one of the entrances off, and then got covered in blood. Good work tree, you're doing more to defend this fort than some of the past overseers did. I hereby award this tree GoldSilver's greatball badge of excellence for its outstanding work. In addition, this tree's name is now Thikod, the Glorious Trunk of Defense. Really, I'd make it a noble if I could, it'd probably ask for less useless crap than the current nobles, and its actually working for a living.
I believe I have designated for all potential entrances to the first layer either block off or fortified, as well as simultaneously opening up the cavern by removing a few stones that had previously been blocking certain pathways. I'm not even going to begin to explain my thought process, so here's a picture of the literal stronghold that I have designated.
(https://i.imgur.com/ieUXylz.png)
All narrow pathways inside the complex and leading out of it will contain absurd amounts of cage traps while still making sure that unconscious dwarves can be brought home without fear of containment. I just have to order a ton of mechanisms and cages to be built. Can't wait for this to blow up in my face like the moat and reservoir have...
I can't fucking find the mechanic's workshop, what the actual fuck. Whatever, I'm sure I'm going to need a whole room dedicated to mechanics workshops anyways to get all the mechanisms made, so I'm having some of the fishery stations torn down and replaced with mechanics workshops.

It also seems that the only thing keeping Zon the infernape out of our fort is a single door. I'm having a clay wall put in front of that door, so if he even tries to escape he'll turn said wall into a beautiful piece of pottery.
I'm really glad I assigned an entire migrant wave to mining, without them this operation would have taken years.
It's been brought to my attention that apparently I forgot to notice that a good portion of my proposed stronghold would have a floor of climbable fungiwood, I hope clay floors aren't as unpleasant to walk on as they sound.
I somehow managed to use all 20 doors we had in the stockpile, guess I'll ask for more to be made. In addition, I've ordered the placement of a food stockpile, a cage stockpile, a mechanism stockpile, and a few tables and chairs placed down in the first stronghold. I've also asked the engravers to smooth it out when they get the chance. Other than that one door to the east that still needs to be made, I'd say this cavern is SECURE!
(https://i.imgur.com/aOSnDmZ.png)
Now, time to look at the next cavern layer. This one looks like a much easier fix, just need to plug up a stairway and mine a better room into the wall near the other entrance.
(https://i.imgur.com/3iO4olp.png)
It's a bit unnerving that the the miners would rather slosh through the body of the last forgotten beast than take the five seconds to dump it into the caves, but oh well.
(https://i.imgur.com/4IWfxEH.png)
Alright, now they're just being masochists. Because of this, they are now all also stone detailers, to help with the mass smoothing. As this is going on, I decide to throw all caution to the wind and finally open up the moat to the river, so that it can hopefully fill and not drown us all in the process.
(https://i.imgur.com/XverQIr.png)
Nopal has apparently etched a name into the dried elf blood on his silver mace, Idathsuvas, or something.
It is now summer, a whole season has passed and the fort is still not secure, unacceptable.
(https://i.imgur.com/i9douum.png)
For anyone who cares, THIS LEVER retracts all the bridges that cross over the moat. So I don't forget, I'm writing it down as a warning, which I'll probably forget the meaning of.
These IDIOTS have decided that it's a better idea to walk THROUGH the filling moat instead of using the bridges, we have lost two already. Make that three.
Apparently in the amount of time that has passed since I ordered the forest to be clear cut it has completely grown back, time to have it cut down again.
(https://i.imgur.com/Nn0m41n.png)
A mismagius? At the bottom of the caves? Uhh, alright? I sent the army to kill it.
No one reports seeing the mismagius die, and no one knows where it went... oh well.
(https://i.imgur.com/9PeJiRH.png)
Immediately after some bone carver presents an artifact piloswine bone buckler. I wouldn't care much about it, if it weren't for the fact that it was made out of the bones of the elf merchant's pack animals, so that's pretty cool.
---
For the sake of moving the fort along more I decided to try to not go into as much detail as usual. The first and second cavern layers should be secure as Fort Knox (unless there's an open space or downwards slope or two I missed), and work begins on the third layer. Also working to secure the magma pipe, because at some point there was a charizard that got beaten to hell by a few magcargo. I don't know how, but the magcargo's were EXCEPTIONALLY better at dodging attacks than the charizard.

I'm gonna be honest... these past few months (I think that's how long I was gone, jesus) have not been too great for me, and overall I've stopped coming to Bay12Forums. I ended up dropping a lot of websites I used to go to, but lately I've told myself I'm going to pick myself up and start getting back to everything.
I never got to write everyone a post apologizing and clearing up everything that was going on. I have been back into college and this year has been rough; I've been trying to find a job recently but have had very little luck, which has been putting me into a bit of a tantrum spiral of my own as I try to figure out what exactly I'm supposed to do with my life.
I've lost friend after friend as well, which really didn't help my mood.
But today, I vowed to try and get back on my feet. It starts with trying to apply to everywhere I possibly can work for a job, it starts with trying to get my grades in college up, and it starts with owing everyone I owe an apology. And I owe you all an apology; an apology for having neglected this fort for so long and an apology for not updating it or giving you guys an update on how I was doing.
But I promise that I'm going to do better now. I'm planning on one day in my spare time going back and updating the front page with all of the posts. I figure the doc may be a bust, but maybe that can be a thing one day, just so MottledPetrel (hey, I just noticed, that's the name of that one Rocket Admin in HGSS with all the Koffings) doesn't have to be confused on who wants what Pokemon.
All in all, I'm sorry for everything and I understand if some of you might be angry with me, but please know that I am doing only the best that I can do. And I want to continue to support this fort. One day I might even look forward to making Rubysapphire for the new update; it could be fun.
I promise that I'm gonna try to do better from now on, guys. Thank you for your patience.

(hey, I just noticed, that's the name of that one Rocket Admin in HGSS with all the Koffings)I don't have any idea if this is actually a thing or not, but I derived my name from the mottled petrel, which is a small migratory sea bird that lives in New Zealand.
I didn't even know that there was a document either, it hasn't really been a "Let's frolic around in the fields with our pokemon" turn, it's been more of a "No one gets to eat until this moat is finished. What? Your friend just drowned due to unsafe work conditions and you want a different job? Here's your pick, get down to the coal mines and make me some weapons. After that you're going into the military to kill elves with your teeth" turn. I'm going to try to be better about assigning pokemon though, instead of just sending them into the caves to kill other pokemon.
Also, for whatever reason you're now a REALLY high level astronomer. In case you're into astronomy or something.

And huh, didn't know that; you learn something new every day, I guess! But no, sorry if I confused you; there's no doc at the moment, I just pondered over the idea of a document that showed all the Pokemon we have in the fort that are unclaimed so people can get the Pokemon they want. Also, hooray for teeth-elf slaughter!
That's perfect; I purposely assigned myself to be an astronomer when I first started the fort. That means I haven't died yet! Please not the mines I promise I'll be more active I swear

I, for one, am amazed by your ability to not give up despite it all. I've already accepted that I'm lost, so I don't really understand your view. I hope you find what you need, and that luck will be with you.

RedMageCole, you most definitely do not owe us any sort of apology. If anything, this world owes you an apology for being a wretched pile of rubbish.Thank you. :) I really do appreciate that, but I still do owe you guys a check-in every so often. But I do hope that you can hopefully find your own way one day, and I wish equal amounts of luck to you as well!

If there's any left? We've got 30 if not more, and the cages in the caverns keep catching more. I'll put you down for 5 if you want them, and I'm thinking about throwing the rest into a pit and then having said pit be the caged prisoner/berserk animal disposal.Hang onto those Joltiks and at least keep 'em safe until they evolve, I'd say; if there's anything I learned from Pocketball thanks to everyone, it was that Galvantula are really useful for their webbing ability, able to web even clowns. In fact, their webbing ability was the only reason my incompetence didn't get everyone murdered that time.

The evolving period is something like 30 months, so I can't promise anything.Fair; we'll have to see if a couple of overseers can go without just forcing these tiny spiders into being a torture chamber of sorts.
And I guess that's true Paddywagon Man, but I could have done that Galvantula trap better. Either way, that whole thing makes me wonder just how bad Goldsilver is gonna crash and burn when the time comes... I hope we all die by !!!Ho-Oh!!!, that would be hilarious after what I did in my prelude.

Speaking of which, we've got adamantine but I can't find the vein. Could any body help direct me to it so I can fortify the surrounding area?I think I put a note on it, didn't I? It's, let's see...
Ah, I see I didn't. Sorry, I kind of did a crap job on my turn, heh. If you go to the broad flat level of the lowest cave, where the lowest cave doors come out - three z-levels above F2, level 92 - you'll see a downward staircase in the upper left cavern, and two layers of totally carved-out vein beneath that. The reason you can't find the vein is, it turns out, because the last staircase missed it and sticks into a single tile of orthoclase instead. For some reason the floors show as phyllite in the mined area instead of adamantine, too — you can fix that by running fixveins in dfhack, which is probably a good idea and I'm surprised I didn't do it before because I'm usually pretty OCD about that. Well, I guess that goes back to the second sentence of this paragraph again!
Post by: MottledPetrel on March 02, 2018, 05:17:54 pm
I've seen way too many ampharoses crawling around with broken legs, I have ordered a mass healing of all pokemon.
(https://i.imgur.com/3muWvei.png)
It also appears that despite being composed entirely of magma, slugma can rot and fill the halls with miasma. I would think the workers would complain, but considering they have to dredge through the body of the last forgotten beast to even get to that depth I think they're kinda used to it.
More migrants. We don't actually need more miners, so unless any of these migrants have any redeemable skills they're either going straight into the military or to smelting.
Talented gem setter, to the smelter.
Novice animal trainer, pick up whatever weapon you like. Aren't you lucky, you get to be captain of the fort's newest squad!
(https://i.imgur.com/KUJ7vx9.png)
Someone brought a mudkip, he can just do what he wants.
Someone else brought a bayleef, I'm going to have to pasture him. He'll double as a guard dog because I'm going to pasture him right next to the bridge leading off of the moat.
High master miller, yes I know you're a very skilled, yes I know that that makes you a very valuable asset to the fort, because of this I'm giving you a nice clean uniform and a firm boot to the pants to push you into the military.
A stray exploud, useless.
An adequate animal dissector, I hope some of those skills will cross professions when I ask you to bisect elves.
Talented gem cutter, you also happen to be a competent ambusher you say? Well now you're just asking to be put into the army.
Accomplished armorsmith and proficient wound dresser, you might be the first person of value to actually migrate here. Just go do what you know how to do.
Talented spinner, to the smelter with you.
Novice bone carver, do you have any other redeeming features? You're also an adequate comedian? Alright, tell me a joke then... I don't know, why did the torchic cross the road?... Get your behind up to the barracks before I throw you into the moat.
Hmm, that seems to be it. I'll wait and see if these new guys can actually find any weapons, then I'll tell the weaponsmiths to make whatever they think would be effective.
Someone told me today to take a closer look at the statues in my room, I guess I might as well.
(https://i.imgur.com/fSJERtc.png)
Wooooooooow. And to think I never actually noticed that. Well, these statues won't do, I don't know what kind of 'message' someone's trying to send, but I'm getting some better statues.
Turns out we have a lot less gold than I thought we did, this will not do. I planned out the blueprints for my statues to encompass gold, they will not work with a lesser metal. Time to look around to see if anyone has missed a vein.
I've been informed that apparently it takes 3 bars to make a statue, and not 2. Instead of just putting the blue prints aside for later use, the metalsmith instead threw them into the fire... I guess I'll have to deal with silver, because adamantine is too useful for such a petty thing as statues.
Luckily, I drew a rendition of each blueprint on my arm before I gave them to the metalsmith, so it wasn't that hard to draw new ones. But I swear, if he destroys them again I'm putting him on moat cleaning duty.
Somebody ran down into the fort screaming that there was a whimsicott outside. 10 seconds later I'm up on the surface to find what looks like a living ball of cotton in one of our cages. Oh well, one more arena beast for later.
(https://i.imgur.com/R9k5wZm.png)
It seems that I may have accidentally created a secondary base of operations with my cavern bunker, as a lot of workers have taken to eating and sleeping down there instead of using the facilities provided in the fortress proper. Because of this I am now having the main dining room smoother over.
(https://i.imgur.com/IKpi3fL.png)
Over an entire season of making bins at full tilt, and we still don't have enough for even the main stockpile, leaving the bar stockpile overcluttered. These idiots won't even stack the bars on top of each other, they just lay them flat on the ground.
It also turns out the three pokemon centers I had built have been running nonstop, but the idiots manning them have neglected to grab any pokemon to fill them with. The one station that has a pokemon in it is a war ampharos who has been getting healed every ten seconds for the past three weeks.
(https://i.imgur.com/gNEuba4.png)
To remedy this I'm having another pokemon center built in the claydol den, because they need healing the most.
(https://i.imgur.com/OBreTtY.png)
Good for them.
(https://i.imgur.com/YG9THqS.png)
The main dining room has been smoothed over, and I have decided to tell the engravers to smooth over the rest of the level, at a low priority of course. Also, I'm proud to say that my new statues are done and are being proudly presented in my room.

I will admit that they're pretty low quality, but they will do. Now, to begin work on the arena...
(https://i.imgur.com/WZMnU2j.png)
It's going to be right next to my room (obviously), and the main fighting area will extend down three levels.
(https://i.imgur.com/Og5uNaa.png)
The top layer will be where all the levers and bridges are operated. The second layer will be the main viewing area. And the third layer will be the fighting floor, with the addition of the airlocks and cleaning systems. I'm going to mine out the main areas first before I start experimenting with the more touchy mechanics, I don't want this project to end up a continuous disaster like the moat. I am also very fortunate that the drinking water is located right next to the arena, for I will build a secondary reservoir with the intention of emptying this one on top of what is left of the fighters after a match. This will help to clean out the blood as well as possibly drowning anyone who's left alive.
(https://i.imgur.com/hWPtJwh.png)
What!? Autumn already? This can't be, I must have enough time to finish my arena. I MUST!

And so begins another beautiful day working on the soon to be arena. The pidgeys are chirping in the trees, the caterpie are rustling around in the trees, a vile force of darkness has appeared over the hills...
(https://i.imgur.com/yjlHsSx.png)
Welp, lets see if my fortifications will do us any good, because I realize now that I probably should have removed the ramps leading into and out of the moat. All fighters to the southern bridge, archers stand guard at the northern edge of the area inside the moat to see if you can pick some of the goblins off as they come by. Speaking of which...
(https://i.imgur.com/Zgfkj4m.png)
It seems that there is a traitor within their mix. Oh well, we'll show him some dwarven justice when he gets close enough. As the fighters file out to their positions there are 11 enemies, surely to grow as the fight progresses.
Yup, now we're up to 15, 21, 26, man, they're all going to fall into the river if they keep crowding together like they are.
(https://i.imgur.com/alypHGE.png)
31 goblins and they still have made no attempt to advance, maybe I'll have the marksdwarves station at the northwest corner of the moat instead to see if they can entice them a little. 43 goblins and the first poor sucker has wandered into a cage, which reminds me that I should probably pull the moat lever before any goblins learn that we actually have a bridge.
The marksdwarves seemed to have taken my last command as 'go hide in the main building', so I've moved them to the top of the tower that has the fortifications. I can only imagine that this room was never built to actually see combat, but it's going to be put to the test pretty soon. 51 goblins and we've only just caught our second one in a cage, this is going to be a hard fought battle with only 30-ish of our own, maybe only half of which are actually competent with their weapon.
(https://i.imgur.com/HfTbCfk.png)
58 goblins and they are only now beginning to trickle to the east over the literal mound of dead goblins that the citizens have yet to throw into the pit, presumably to make it around the moat.
We've caught a total of four now, but it seems that they're still pouring over the hills. Okay, the bridges are up, so I'm going to undo the burrows for a few minutes so that I can bring some of the hundreds of stray joltik we have to the surface to aid our forces.
And by joltik it more turned into 'move every pokemon that isn't a pet to the surface', I expect massive casualties.
One of our marksdwarves finally gets within reach of the goblins, only to have a massive volley of bolts shot his way.
(https://i.imgur.com/4LeYJXS.png)
The marksdwarf has yet to be hit, and will hopefully exhaust the ammo of the enemy before he fires his own.
(https://i.imgur.com/uB3xE9J.png)
Unfortunately, many of the bolts fly downstream into the waiting mob of our fighters. Most of them miss, but Azalea is pegged in the chest with a bolt. It bounces harmlessly off of his armor, which for some reason causes him to enter a martial trance. I order the fighters to wait indoors until the enemy is close enough to engage. The lone marksdwarf also takes a few body hits, bruising a lung and his guts. He slouches over to vomit amidst the storm of bolts.
While twiddling my thumbs waiting for something to happen I notice that Beirus has an infection on his left wrist.
(https://i.imgur.com/RYxJlOO.png)
Poor sap, he probably won't last until the end of the month.
(https://i.imgur.com/l9K96lq.png)
Another fighter has a bolt bounce off of their chest, only to be put into a martial trance as well.
(https://i.imgur.com/uB3xE9J.png)
Why won't you idiots just wait inside until you're needed? Our entire battle formation has now devolved into the hokey pokey as the fighters attempt to dodge the hail of bolts, maybe I should build some fortifications around the moat once this is over. Luckily the obscene amount of cage traps I had built around the moat are coming in handy. Of the 58 invaders currently around the fort, 11 of them are caged, and we only have 7 active crossbow/bow goblins skulking around.
A poor Decidueye who got stuck on the wrong side of the moat is now getting bashed to pieces by a mace goblin.
The archers, I mean, the singular marksdwarf that's doing a fucking Gaelic river dance in bullet hell of goblin arrows, still refuse to return fire. Why, I don't know, but it's gotten to the point where I'm just going to lower the bridge once most of the ranged goblins have been captured. So far our only casualties are that decidueye, a stray joltik, and a war ampharos that is probably going to die from the bolt currently lodged firmly in his jugular. I'm not a pokemon anatomy expert, but I would imagine the fountain of lifeblood exploding from his neck isn't a good sign. Along with that about half our fighting force is outside the front gait in various martial trance poses, busily swatting arrows out of the air with the tips of their beards. It seems that many of them are also engaged in a dance battle circle. A few civilians have made an attempt to follow my order to bring more pokemon to the surface, but most of them now lay on the ground throwing up from the sunlight. The remaining ones are poppin' and lockin' through the arrow storm like a leaf doing a martial trance break-dance on the wind.
The plant types pastured by the southern gate have been making a valiant attempt at fending off the goblins wandering around that part of the moat, shooting leaves at anything that moves. Many of them have bolts sticking out of them like pins in a celluostic pincushion, and one venusaur is in a fetal position in the corner of the building crying hysterically. "GET UP YOU FUCKING PANSY AND FIGHT FOR YOUR PEOPLE! I bellowed at it, only succeeding in causing the venusaur to soil itself and cry harder.
Add a stray leafeon to that list of dead, but it managed to kill a bowgoblin before it went down.
Somehow, we're down to only 50 goblins, 18 of which are caged, and the remaining goblins seem to have run out of arrows, maybe. Welp, we aren't going to rid ourselves of this problem just standing here. Alright guys, everyone on the southern bridge, send a runner to lower it, I tire of this charade.
(https://i.imgur.com/SELDmN3.png)
It seems that I spoke too soon, because despite out front yard being turned into an arrow collector's expo some of the bowgoblins still have arrows and are now firing on our formation. In response to this about three more dwarves entered a martial trance.
Another stray leafeon has died defending it's home, I'll be sure to cremate it in my fire place to warm
Right as the bridges are lowered a macegoblin falls into the water to the east. Instead of swimming back he decides to swim across instead.
(https://i.imgur.com/PmVSSs0.png)
The military quickly reduce him to a red smear on the grass in their arrow fueled martial trance blood lust.
As I order the fighters across the bridge, the marksdwarf that was using the light reflected off the perpetual swarm of goblin arrows as rave lighting for his one man dance moshpit for about the entire fucking battle without shooting a single bolt finally fires a bolt at the enemies as he advances, a wooden bolt that doesn't even scratch the goblin's armor.
The fighters have no problem slicing anything that moved across the bridge into more skin confettii for their martial trance rave, but behind them a stray fire type decides to use a fire attack over them...
(https://i.imgur.com/T4To6mU.png)
A leafeon is the first to be incinerated, with the flames slowly catching up to a crippled greninja.
(https://i.imgur.com/Magiku2.png)
A long line of excessively slow dwarves try to skirt past the fire in their attempt to cross the bridge. A particular animal trainer isn't fast enough, and is trapped behind the wall of fire.
Apparently, said roaring inferno was enough to cause every still living, not caged goblin to run back the way they came, over the mound of their long dead to the north.
(https://i.imgur.com/2bWsUqu.png)
I hope you guys like waiting outside, because it's going to be a while until this fire dies down enough for you to pass.
And by wait, it seems that half the people outside heard 'try to rush past the fire and go inside', too bad the fire is now inside as well, hopefully it will at least burn up all the vomit and dead elves.
(https://i.imgur.com/1M5Od9M.png)
Our plum wood bridge has caught on fire with a number of things asleep on it, and several dwarves have fallen asleep directly in line of the fire.
You know what guys, most of our competent fighters are asleep directly in the way of the fire, so if you want to try to run inside, be my guest. That order was answered with a number of dwarves trying to run past the fire, then falling asleep before they could get out of danger. The rest of the fighters just staid put on the wrong side of the river.
One of the sleepers happened to be Paddywagonman, who is now a cloud of delicate, murderous ash floating into the heavens. He's dead as fuck, in case anyone needed me to specify. You know, I might as well look at the list of 'missing' inhabitants while I'm waiting for the fire to die down.
Let's see, we're currently missing Paddywagonman, a stray totodile, a granbull, Vutok the lye maker, Tekkud the dyer, Ushrir the hunter, a luxray, a gengar (probably the one who died during the fight with the forgotten beast), a Quilladin (who I can see from where I'm standing, is a pool of gore at the bottom of the trash pit on the surface), a haxorus, and Thob the potash maker. Hopefully these guys will wake up before I have to increase this list.
I've ordered another bridge made, because the last one has finally collapsed into a smoldering heap into the moat, this bridge will be made out of clay.
It seems that someone else has burned to death in their sleep, Azalea is now deader than dead because he couldn't stay awake for five more fucking seconds so he could have at least passed out on a stone floor away from the fire.

The fire has cleared enough for the fighters to return home over the secondary bridge, and people are now outside 'finding' that the people who walked straight through the fire are not as okay as they thought they were. What a shame, the fire didn't even burn the bodies that were already laying outside.
And after all this, what is the first thing that the civilians do you might ask? They go out to start reloading cage traps, walking over the wounded and dying still out in the field. And I don't mean just one or two, at least 15 civilians shoved their way to the surface with cages in their hands the second I authorized movement on the surface. God, I've made an impact on the people of this place, and I only intend to do more from here on out.

I was going to try some live arena testing today, but then this happened.

On the bright side, we've now got more arena fighters than I could ever hope for. I'd appreciate it if you guys could start thinking up some potential matches we could put together, and if someone could remind me of the weird key combinations I have to do to get workers to remove the items from a caged goblin that would be great.
I also left the images big so people could see the details of the carnage, if you want them smaller I can make them smaller.

Better than being stuck male, right? Little did you know, the body-switch left my dwarf suicidal. That's probably why she ended up injured all the time!

Everyone is very disconcerted by it, but they won't move them because they're still, you know, on fire. Other than that, I have authorized the dumping of EVERYTHING body relate that isn't currently alive or entombed. I don't care if we're just moving the giant pile of goblin corpses from one side of our land to dump them in a pit on the other, I want them GONE.
(https://i.imgur.com/BVRHD28.png)
WHAT THE FUCK, WHO KEEPS SETTING EVERYTHING ON FIRE AND WHERE CAN I FIND THEIR FAMILY!
(https://i.imgur.com/mxPFWxn.png)
YOUUUUUU, INFERNAAAAPE. I'VE HAD ABOUT ENOUGH OF YOU, YOU'RE GOING INTO THE PIT ALONG WITH ALL THE CORPSES YOU JUST BURNT. Okay, so it seems that the mountain home thought it was a good idea to bring us an infernape in a wooden cage, knowing full well that no matter what the cage was made out of the creature's ambient fire would burn the merchant carrying it to death anyways. On top of that, it appears that the forest fire was enough to burn all of our recently caught goblins out of their wooden cages. How they fare against the inferno they are let into has yet to be determined.
(https://i.imgur.com/NxxyoVQ.png)
I swear to Lord Helix though, if we don't even get a few of the caged goblins and our wounded inside before the fire burns everything I'm going to be fucking pissed.
It seems that the merchants ran after one of their own burst into flames, and we have now been left with a bunch of caged pokemon who are actively burning to death in not only the wild fire, but the ambient fire still coming off of the infernape that is standing right next to them.
(https://i.imgur.com/vMgNGwQ.png)
It also appears that AernJardos is in a corner screaming his head off because all of his fucking mastercraft wooden cages are burning and setting the goblins free. WELL MAYBE IF THEY WEREN'T SO FUCKING FLAMMABLE IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU WOULDN'T BE CRYING SO HELIX DAMN LOUD!
It seems that the goblins are completely okay with existing in fire, and are standing in the ashes completely unscathed. A stray milktank that was brought with the merchants is now wandering over to a recently freed goblin swordsman, wondering if this is who it should now pledge its allegiance to.
(https://i.imgur.com/9t77phw.png)
OH GREAT, NOW I'VE GOT THIS FUCKER YELLING AT ME FOR STUFF. WE DON'T HAVE A FUCKING KILN AND YOU AREN'T GOING TO GET ONE! The milktank died by the way, the goblin spilled its guts and is now using them as if they were a decorative tube scarf.
Not wanting to give up on whatever fucking work he was inspired to make, that studip glazier has taken a mason's workshop, but he still hasn't quit yelling at me. You know what, while I'm waiting for everything I've spent my year making burn to the ground I think I'm going to have some trash metal cages made. In addition to that, we're going to need a lot of slabs for the piles of ash we have outside.
(https://i.imgur.com/j2zmyUg.png)
Thankfully, the fire drifted into an area that was already burnt to hell, and with no fuel it went out before it could continue to desecrate everything. Not that any of the workers noticed, even while the fire was still going they were only trying to reload the cage traps behind the wall of fire with more wooden cages.
(https://i.imgur.com/QpJfsEy.png)
We now only have 16 goblin prisoners, after I sent the military to kill any goblins that didn't burn to death.
One of the local astronomers is now taking the time to ponder my rule.
(https://i.imgur.com/IMSFGM0.png)
You know what, fine, fuck you guys, I'm building myself a monument.
(https://i.imgur.com/ukwMy1i.png)
It's going to be a pain coloring this thing, but if I'm the only one who can look at it and understand what it's supposed to be then so be it. Actually, I'm going to leave that one, but make myself a much bigger one for those who can't make out shapes.
(https://i.imgur.com/oVGMs99.png?1)
There we go, much better. Almost as if to spite me, all of the miners refuse to work on my project because they're 'storing an item in a stockpile'.
(https://i.imgur.com/Ghcb29D.png)
Almost as if he was a fire or flying type gym leader, the liason descends upon me with double edged compliments. I want all of the gold you've got, for statues. And steel, for actual things.
What the hell, you come and 'compliment' us and then you don't even grant us any new positions? What are you, and elf?
(https://i.imgur.com/NjKmc8s.png)
After weeks of yelling at me to butcher some animals so that he could have some tanned leather, that guy finally started his construction. In addition, in order to start the coloring of the monuments, I have made about 6 dwarves woodcutters and am now having them clear-cut the caves to acquire colorful mushroom wood.
(https://i.imgur.com/tFnvFn5.png)
The guy who was making a thing finished, a table covered in steel spikes with the foundation of Goldsilver in kunzite.

Fuck, some migrants are here, I really don't want to deal with them. Alright, there were only like 7 migrants, they were all made either miners, woodcutters, or unskilled fighters.
It's the 3rd of Timber, I better be able to finish all of these things before my year is up.

Work continues on the arena while I wait for everyone who can get their hands on an axe to cut down the colorful mushroom trees in the caves.

It seems that we have run out of cage space, this shall be remedied.

After almost three fourths of a year after assigning all the corpses in the fort to be dumped in the corpse pit this is all that has been dumped so far. The inefficiency of dumping in this fort disgusts me, almost as much as the literal pile of goblin bodies just north of the front gate. You know what, you, siege operator, yeah you. From now on, you only haul refuse. I don't care how good of a siege operator you are, we're never going to build any siege weapons. Just please, go dump that corpse you're standing on.

Come ooooonnnn, it's so close to being finished I could grab it with my beard if I had any muscles that would allow me to use my beard to grasp items in such a fashion. I just need to start designating all of the bridges to be built and linked to levers and then the arena will be ready for it's maiden fight. After that, I'll be complete and gladly hand leadership to someone else, as long as I get to be in charge of pitting fights.
(https://i.imgur.com/9wuHrEl.png)
Oh, and apparently a human scholar decided to visit at some point, and he seems to be REALLY interested in how bad of a job I did with the moat and reservoir pond.
(https://i.imgur.com/ZZ7vAMI.png)
A trader has been possessed, really the only thing of note to have happened in the past three months since I ordered the fort to buckle down and work on nothing else besides my secret projects, other than the wild munchlax that gots it's head bashed in a week ago. With only 20 days left until the end of my term I can only pray that the workers will finish building the bridges so I can at least set them to be linked up for the next overseer.
Spring has arrived a little too early this year, and about 99% of the things I set out to do over the course of my year have been completed, except for a few little finishing touches. Unfortunately, I was unable to arrange the opening match for the new arena, but I was able to finish most of the mechanism placements in time to allow the next overseer to set it all up with a few lever pulls. Now, my final notes on how to actually operate the arena.
(https://i.imgur.com/yKlzKWw.png)
This is the secondary reservoir (and those corpses are the idiots who drowned themselves while the first reservoir was being filled), once filled to the brim the extreme weight of all the water above it in the system will cause an incredible amount of pressure to build up. I will explain which levers go to what later, but just know the top pine bridge near the opening to the upper reservoir is meant to block off flow to the lower reservoir for cleaning purposes or to put it offline if needed. The lower pine bridge is to block off water flow to the big stairwell, which leads directly down into the arena.
(https://i.imgur.com/LsZ51BR.png)
At the bottom of this staircase is another bridge that blocks the bottom of the staircase from entering the arena. This will provide you with two pressure settings, you can leave the water built up in the reservoirs and still have an insane amount of pressure, or you can let the water build up in the stairway. When built up in the stairway, because of how much lower the water will be you can essentially shotgun the entire reservoir into the arena with insane concussive strength in a small amount of time. This will be helpful if you need to drown any pesky survivors after a match, but you loose access to the maintenance stairway above if you choose this pressure setting.
(https://i.imgur.com/AMnXPIC.png)
This is the control room, it is CRUCIAL that you know what each lever does and that it is kept out of reach of those who like to pull levers willy-nilly. For ease of remembering, the lever formation on the right of the room is meant to match the layout of the bridges in the arena. When trying to start a match, have the cages BUILT inside the arena and then have the cages linked to the central lever of this right formation. The left formation is meant to match the water system that has mostly been described before this. The topmost lever of the left formation controls the pine bridge that shuts off water flow to the lower reservoir, the lever below that is connected to the other pine bridge that cuts off water flow to the stairway, and the lever to the bottom right of that one is connected to the bridge that blocks off the stairway from the arena. The bottom rightmost lever controls the arena's central bridge, which will be described later.
(https://i.imgur.com/FEfEYdk.png)
And here it is, the ground floor of the arena. The topmost and middle layers above this layer are basically the same, but I have provided pictures of them anyways.
(topmost layer)
(https://i.imgur.com/80bIkcO.png)
(middle layer)
(https://i.imgur.com/bpbjIJk.png)
The large bridge located in the center of the arena is the bridge mentioned before, the drainage bridge. After you have drowned the survivors, or just had the water clean up all the blood and body parts, you pull the bottom rightmost lever to have all of the water dump down the chute and directly into the cavers. The area that the chute exits into will cause the water to flow down the slopes and off the map without any threat of flooding cavern base 1, but if someone cares to make it so that the water fills an underground lake for fishing it wouldn't be that hard. The bridges at the edges of the fighting area are designed to restrict access to the arena, so that the fighters don't accidentally escape. The arrangement of the bridges directly matches the arrangement of the right lever formation (not including the central lever, which will be used to open the cages of the fighters), so pull the lever in the location of the bridge you want to close. That's really all there is to it, we have plenty of still armed caged goblins and a few wild caged pokemon, so the next overseer will have plenty of cannon fodder for our entertainment.
(https://i.imgur.com/v8Qp85S.png)
Next, I decided to turn that little ninjask room I had dug out into a new temple, because there were complaints that the last one was too small. The engravers haven't finished smoothing it out yet, but there have already been a substantially larger number of worshipers visiting it than the last one (The statue is of me hugging ninjasks, by the way). This temple is called The Bug of Worship, because no one would let me have 'Ninjask' actually in the name.
(https://i.imgur.com/n90txNf.png)
Finally, I noticed that the main dining room was actually doubling for a tavern, so I decided to turn the large ninjask room into a new and opulent tavern. We have only had a human hammerman visit so far, but he was impressed by just the sheer size of it. The table off by itself is the artifact table that was built a while ago, no one wants to eat on it because it's covered in steel spikes, but it's cool looking.
(https://i.imgur.com/Tk74sf9.png)
Off to the right is a dedicated tavern food stockpile, and above it are the luxury rooms designed to rope poor suckers into joining our fort. The name of this tavern is The Bug of Breakfast, because it sounds like Bed and Breakfast, and because nothing else really fit with the Bug part of the name (Those statues are also of me hugging ninjasks).
And with every great tavern, there must be a worthy tavernkeeper to ensure that it runs smoothly and that the patron feel welcome.
(https://i.imgur.com/eO4Adw2.png)
Before stepping down from the overseer position, I have become that tavernkeeper, and me and my joltik/galvantula will ensure that this tavern is the best bug-type tavern ever to grace the world. And with that, I bid you farewell, I have to go scope out potential performers that would be willing to do bug-type related dances.
---
I feel like I described the arena controls pretty well, but if a clearer description is needed I'll give another one. We've still got a lot of caged pokemon from failed caravans trying to visit, so you could probably just use those in the arena fights (I swear to helix, you guys better fucking use that arena, I spent an unholy amount of time making it). Other than that, I think that's going to be it for me turn wise. I would in theory be interested in taking a turn in the next pokemon fort if we make one, but I'll have to see if I'm in a position where I can commit myself to playing it, hopefully in a more reasonable time frame.
Here's the save:

For working the mechanical parts of the arena, yes, and I can operate that with those instructions. I just have no idea how the "pitting" mechanic works nor how to tell the game/dwarfs to do it.
