*Points to the dwarven childcare thread* That baby might actually be a lucky one. Now go uncap hfs with your dwarf baby pick and loose your own fell and terrible laugh.I'm trying to play this more RTS style and not go for the Demonspires until I could likely handle the demons with steel weapons and beard power.
S.C.P.
Might I suggest sealing away the unholy creation (and its creator) within a secure facility? something tells me a pick made from the infant child of its creator has got to have some fucked up evil intent.
WHERE DO YOU EVEN GET ENOUGH BABY FOR A PICKAXE? THERE ISN'T ENOUGH BABY.
It's probably made from baby bone, with a handle of baby leather. Probably uses the leg bones wound together for the handle, the pelvis for the handle/pick joint, and the pick is the spine.
But that's all in theory, of course. Not like I've made a pick out of my own 5 month old baby before.
This is proof that RNG is sentient. No way could any real life person come up with such a story.
Dont mean to kill anyones good mood, I particularly loved this story. Ive been trying to get a friend to play DF for some time now but he says one day.. maybe. So I send him this thread, in hopes it will change his mind, wish me luck.IIRC, it's almost astonishingly simple to describe.
Anywho, I feel that I am speaking for everyone that we need to see the description of this pick. Do not keep us in suspense much longer OP! This pick could go down in history I tell you!
Mmmm.... Dwarf bone pick, you truly are lucky. I don't see how turning your daughter into a digging implement is any better or worse than turning your highly skilled neighbour into a mug :]A pickaxe is probably one of the least needed tools in my fort right now. I already have 3 miners, which get through my not-so-megaprojects easily enough. Maybe when I expand I'll need more. I doubt she was thinking ahead when she MURDERED HER ONLY DAUGHTER.
WOW you got lucky that the baby became something usefull and not another useless dwarf that will drink your booze things could have gotten worse, like your legendary armorsmith/weaponsmith/both getting turned into a finished good.No, but one of my 10+ fishery workers may have been less disturbing, and probably better for the fort. The Baby could have been a armorsmith/weaponsmith/carpenter/champion/not-evil-noble/miner/whatever. The little blue fuckers swarming my fort have no purpose and no skill except enough to give them all three fishing jobs.
I doubt she was thinking ahead when she MURDERED HER ONLY DAUGHTER.What? She'll have more.
Luckily you can use them as weaponsFixed that for you. Seriously, they use mining as their martial skill, so go get 30 or so dwarves, mine out a z level or 2 set them into squads (disable the mining labor) and have them go tear apart sieges/HFS.
Ah, thanks. Seems like picks are second only to whips in combat by the way. And I'd assume mining also raises strenght?All the necessary combat skills that don't involve getting injured.

With the useless adults, a change of jobs is just a few keystrokes away.

I see her suffering as having to give up her child in exchange for this strange mood. Many are possesed by strange forces, so this may not be her design, but that of the gods. Specifically, the sick and depraved gods.

Speaking of, was she following any sort of gods? And her interests/attributes?

And one slight push....

Casey McAnthony likes picks, dwarf bone, and babies for their malleability.
Yes, yes it does.Why can't I get any fell moods?
And one armed with the bones of an infant, the purest weapon a dwarf will find.Wow, this is awesomely horrifying...
So did Casey become ecstatic afterwards? Dwarves get significant happy thoughts for creating an artifact.Probably.

I purposefully didn't slab her baby to see what the ghost looked like.
It just kind of... follows her around now, giving her a constant bad thought. I imagine she can't see it, or really hear it, but in the back of her mind, if she concentrates, all the time, the soft wailing of a young girl, and the grinding noise of a pickaxe sharpening on a whetstone.
Did I ressurect this thread without even posting in it?
Oh god fucking dammit.
Sorry guys, didn't mean to necro this, just came for a quote and fucked up.
...so anybody wanna make Necrothreat 3 out of it? :P
