We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

Hrm... I'm not quite sure when. I think you said it in the past couple of weeks, but I can't seem to find it.

As to requests... I'd feel ashamed to ask, honestly. It doesn't seem fair of me to want anything else - I already have two pictures of V, as well as one of Talvi. (Which reminds me, I hope you don't mind my posting them (and other related arts) in the novel thread. If you want me to take them back down, I don't have any problem with it. It's mostly your art, anyway.)

In fact as a precaution I wanna get the invasion of hell over with and would like to ask if you guys mind if I autodump the remains and such outside so I can hurry up with the invasion (I wanna do something memorable y'know?)

Given how long it's been since that invasion was first being planned, I think speeding it up a bit would be perfectly acceptable.

Hey I have no problem with abiding by specific requests, so long as I'm given specific details. Otherwise I tend to improvise and nobody wants that 90% of the time.

Dump everything that needs to be dumped. Atomsmash it if you want. Let's get Hell and Time in with this clusterfuck!

THere's not a terribly great ammount in general, it's largely teeth and severed limbs causing so much clutter. What's the normal amount of time for a dwarf to be asleep for in a given season? Also how long will it take the drowsy status to go away, since Fischer and Draignean both have it despite being asleep.

Yeah I wouldn't mind it getting sped up. If it can be done to make the story and fortress more interesting I'm all for it.

I think your voice may be a lot lower than you realize. Maybe everybody has a deeper voice up there, and you're judging by comparison? lol (joking, but seriously... that's deep. Contrabass deep, even.)

My voice can indeed go lower than that. I was trying my best to speak in a monotone; I slipped up a couple times, but I still wasn't using anything close to my full range. (Also, for anyone who has no clue what he means by 'up there', I'm a Canuck.)

As for the issues... listen carefully. I was having a massive anxiety attack as I recorded that, and although I did my best to repress it, there are multiple points where my control falters and my panic starts to show through slightly -- at one point, I break character almost-entirely and start muttering rapidly under my breath for a few seconds.



I think it's long past time we conquer Hell. Maybe give Talvi time to finish his story, just in case we die.

Noooooooo. Will not happen. I'm not going to be the cause of Spearbreakers not getting updated for a few months. >.> Seriously, I have a lot left to do. Even if I end the story at the end of the Parasol arc (which still leaves Joseph on the loose) you're looking at another 10 chapters or so.

...Yeah, I made it way too long. :\ I doubt that anybody in their right mind would normally want to read this much, but people were bored, and this is supposedly entertaining. Plus, this is the first succession fortress that has a series of novels to go along with it, which is cool. And my fault.

Oh, that's what that was. :\ I thought it was being awesomely in-character, as in great acting.

I don't mind reading another 10 chapters, I quite like these kind of stories.

Hearing about Spearbreakers conquering hell when she returns should prove interest, at least Vanya's reaction anyway.

You're Canadian too? Hmm I seem to be running into a lot of Canadians on various forums lately. (I'm Canadian as well)

@Talvieno

If, as I recall, Vanya's journals are told in the style of a noarrator reading a history book, then it won't matter when you finish, the end result is the same. We could conquer Hell now and you could still be writing about Vanya's arrival.
