MARKEDANGELS
WHERE YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS
COME TO GET CRUSHED
My Brain has reminded Me to say; V0.34.11 Vanilla.
Ive been meaning to do this for a long time, but never reallly got around to it.
Now, I have a few Weeks off, so I figure its a perfect time to start this!
Our Story begins, but it begun some time ago.
From the Homeland of Poshiapsong, where Dwarves once ruled supreme, a Dwarf by the name of Dementyev, dug a slight bit too deeply unto the Earth.
And from the Earth, came Entities of Anger, Rage and Hatred.
And soon, everything that was once Dwarvern Masterwork, was crippled and ruined. Torn to tatters, burnt asunder, and spat out. And finally left to rot. An Island, once glorious, soon to be Forgotten.
That is, soon to be.
But not just yet.
Not. Just. Yet.
Bagsnubslozgo Kusnath. An Island, far West of the Dwarvern Homeland, was ignorant of the events in Poshiapsong. But they were far from safe.
See, this Hole, was no ordinary Hole. Much was released from that place, far beneath the Earth.
And the very energy of it spread, far and wide.
But this Island, was the closest.
And this, is the Crew of the Icon of Artifices. A Dwarvern Trade Ship.
When the Hole was opened, a few Noblemen and Shipwrights were able to get aboard this Ship, and set sail, unsure of their destination.
Far, and long They sailed. Many perished, starved or ill. Some dehydrated, some went insane.
Few survived.
But some did.
The remnants of the formerly brilliant Civilization.
But it wasnt over. A storm struck the Eastern Seaboard, and the Ship was damaged beyond repair.
The Dwarves grabbed what They could, and swam toward the shore. Several still, perished.
Now broken and battered, what few Survivors remained clambered onto the Beachfront.
But this was no welcoming place.
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-23-x3Ri-zPI/T1ThPcESDwI/AAAAAAAAAXQ/4Wc_yIm7HUA/s512/Embark.png)
But here, in the Beginning, the Dwarves would seek shelter.
Welcome, to Lisedsedil Arel Thunen. Markedangels, The Water Of Living.
You are Citizens of Sodel Atham. The Shields Of Focus.
Strike The Earth. And Strike It Fast.
Rules are pretty standard.
You can be Dwarfed, and/or chime in for a Turn.
A Turn is One Year.
Cheating is not permitted.
I am going to note right now, that this
Of course, it isnt as hard as it could be. But on a scale of 1-10, 10 being Suicide, I estimate this SHOULD be a 7. Or something. If it isnt, Ill damn well make it a 7.
Lastly, be the Awesome Community You already are.
Oh, and I have absolutely no intention of announcing in advance just what kinda spot We get to start in. You will see!
So, without further ado...
And this will be the Lists.

Self Proclaimed Leader of Our Band.
We are Eight.
And We are Survivors.
But You already know this.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I Worship the God of Peace and Prosperity.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Date Unknown.
Our Supplies are Scarce.
Our Bodies are Weak.
We must build a Shelter.
We do not know what this place holds.
But I have work to do.
Date Unknown.
Our first Interruption has been met.
Damp Stone.
This could mean an Aquifer, or possibly just a lake. Either way, our Plans have been ground to a halt.
I shall attempt another path.
One of us has been dispatched to try and make contact with the Residents of the Island.
Hopefully He will return with Help.
26th Granite, 251.
We have determined the Date! This is marvellous.
A Temporary Workshop Area / Residence Area has been built. This is all very crude.
Very temporary.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
As well as a Farming Area. Just enough to Survive. As well as the Entrance.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And a Store Room.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
We may live to see the end-year yet.
We have also begun cutting down Trees!
The World, however, is oddly devoid of Life.
Even Insects.
And now, there have been some arguments, amongst the folks. Trying to deny Me My place as Leader.
We have come to a Compromise.
Annual Elections.
I cant exactly say no.
And apparently, the first is to be right now.
Aaand Ill post the Save once someone signs on for it.
And everything that comes with it.
Everything.

wtf, if you don't mind that i can't start until friday, i'll sign.
I choose to believe You just queried; "What the fuck. If You dont mind that I cant start till Friday, Ill sign."
To which Id say, lets say that it can be a delayed Signing, since if someone were to start on it sooner, then You could immediately take over after them. And if noone does, nothing is lost from waiting until Friday :)

Done and done.
Ill let You do the Dorfing, since I zipped up the File last night (In My Time, which was about 7 Hours ago. Its faster this way)
Have fun!

As a second hand comment, You being a Fisherdwarf is cooler than You may think, since Food may well end up being easier to come by in the Ocean than it is on land. Reliably, anyway.

Post by: Chilton on March 06, 2012, 07:25:48 am
I'll take a turn, private message me when it's my turn. Do you mind if I use Ironhand or should i stick to default? I can play either, but i prefer with a texture pack.
I'd also like a Marksdwarf :>
Texture Packs are fine, Friend.
I usually play Vanilla, because of how I interprit DF in general as being a Story Generator (And as such gain the most out of the experience from reading the Combat Reports, and Announcements and Legends, without needing much out of the actual Visual Display); But I also occassionally switch to Phoebus if the mood takes Me.
After all, it isnt going to actually change the Game itself.
And Ill be sure to PM You when the time comes.

Or is there a way to fix a corrupted save? ???

The long assumed dead buffolo Ralf decided to show up. :D
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Did alot of mining and got rid of the butcher shop. Don't want Urist McRetard reviving a horde of undead skin and hair... became an office for 'ol Chilton instead. When he isn't working on building and engrvaving pictures of trees(he really likes those fckn trees) he goes to his office and does some maneging.
It seems as if our prayers hadn't gone unheard since a wave of strong and healthy fishermen and wrestlers were sent to us by the mountain homes :D
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
But then again they are coming from a dangerous angle...Chiltons old pony Rudolf is guarding that area. Rudolf had always been the sweetest of ponies, walking by the side of Chillton in any weather. Ah all the great memories...Fck I'm getting sidetracked here >:(
Rudolf had now turned into a fearsome monster, capable of slauthering anything which would move within his hunting grounds. Many creatures multiple times the size of Rudolf had fallen victim to his wrath. The landscape littered with the caracases of Rudolf victims, knowing the amount of blood that had been spilt because of his life long friend, Chillton decided to save the lives of the migrants getting closer and closer to Rudolfs death trap. With his bare hands he caught a butterfly midflight,I'm derailing agian aren't I?, to the butterfly he strapped a map with the perfect strategy to avoid rudolfs lair.
The plan was a success!!!
The migrants changed their course and was now walking round' Rudolf :D
But as they came down to the shoreline...DISASTER STRUCK!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
They never had a chance...in an instant...all those young brave souls turned into zombies...
The incident hit the mood of the fort like a silverwhip to the liver. Chillton kept on working like before but he had lost that bit of hope in his eyes which he still had a few days ago...Chef had been drinking more then usual and barely a single word had been spoken...
The zombies on the other hand...They were happier then ever- playing with fish, riding ponies and the usual braineating...
Here's one of the zombies and his zombie-pet-poult...catching some fish...a few cattlefish and a squid
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
(http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc401/zlowpoke/Water12.png)
Fisherdwarf in blue - ol' Capt.Slowpoke, He has always been a dwarf of few words and even fewer since his ship sank...Sits by well all day but never seem to catch anything...
The dwarf in white - Chillton, The farmers do some farming and the miners do some mining but most other work is done by Chillton.
The dude in the center - Chef, He's an alcoholic even by dwarven standards and that is saying alot ;) A decent dwarf when he lays of the rum for a few hours but that's a rare occasion.
Sleeping dwarf - The laziest carpenter known to dwarf-kind, apperantly some sort of noble back at the civ. Doesn't seem as if she has yet understood how serious the situation is...
Miners - The bigger one is our only full time miner, she has bit of a temprament but gets the job done. The smaller one is the entire military force of Markedangels...
The farmer in the forground - Well, she is bit of mystery since none of us remembers her from back at the civ and she has been awfuly calm through the whole trip, even when we got shipwrecked and when Rudolf attacked....
Since all the migrants got zombiefied and are having a bbq outside you'll have to pick one of the starters if you wanna be dwarfed :P

What's going on in that picture? Are the zombie migrants offering their hearts for peace?Id like to think of a Habitant and a Zombie chatting by the door, pointing their weapons at each other and smiling slyly, negotiating. I dont know why, but it brings laughter to My lips to imagine that amongst all this strife, someone just strolls out to the Zombies and goes "Sup. Lets be pals." And the Zombies all like, "Ok :)". And then they both go back to what they were doing. Friends. Even if they end up murdering each other.

The answer is, "it depends".
But being around 150 isnt weird. Its not common, but it doesnt spell evil.

Well seeing how it went for the fishwrestlers in the previous wave we didn't even bother bridging the moat the poor bastards...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The chances for anything to survive in the harsh lands of markedangels decreased as the undead horde grew larger
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
About a year ago...
On the day that the dwarven halls had been taken by the horrors of the depth, when all hope had been abandoned together with the civilization that the dwarves had forged for so many years...Most ran for the ships, some even managed to escape but what they didn't know was that there was still someone standing in the heart of the fortress, still one dwarf fighting... The dwarven general who had crushed more sieges then all his predecessors together, combining the brain of a masterful tactician with raw power of beastly proportions. He had watched his army get slaughtered and his fortress get taken by the countless evil pouring out of the earth, he had lost all but his wife and daughter and he knew that he was all that stood between them and the forces of chaos and carnage. He fought like no dwarf had done before him, slaying one towering creatures of hell after another...Soon he was overflowed by the massive wave of flesh and fire, his lance was caught in one of the mosters he brought down and he had been pushed down to his knees, this is the moment where any resonable dwarf would have accepted his fate and died like a hero. But the now unarmed general rose to hes feet at a speed never seen by dwarven eyes before and crushed the dark fiend with his bare fist! Blood and filth covered the air as he rampaged his way through the herd of indescribable monstrosities, the beast kept Slicing and stabbing him but he seemed unstoppable. With a final spurt he reached his chamber, as he kicked in the door the hoard wasn't far behind... (http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc401/zlowpoke/Waterx.png)
He grabbed his wife and an old training spear but as he ran for the exit the doorway was already filled with tentacles and claws...
He was caught in a trap! No way out and no chance of survival. In a moment of sheer brilliance or stupidity he ran as as fast as he could to the far side of the room and headbutted the wall with an unimaginable force, as the walls crumbled at his feet he could still catch a last glimps of the horror that had crushed the dwarven civilization...
As he and his family escaped they met up with an old traveller unaware of the tradgedy, as they explained the situation he was first speechless but quickly managed to get his act together and brought them to his tradeship. There were a few other dwarves on the ship and as the story got told again many burst into tears...
Brewster the dwarven general and the old trader named Bluespoerto decided that they should search for other survivors, and so they set sail...
For over a year they searched and everytime they found a dwarven settlement all had already died from starvation or been killed by the willife. They had already given up hope on finding life in Markedangels as the ground was too wet to dig in and Bluesperto said that the lands were cursed by Armok himself. But as they arrived they saw dwarves! Lots of dwarves! and poults! and ponies! One of traders got so to excited that he ran up to the dwarves to greet them :D. When Bluespoerto screamed that he should turn back it was already too late, the zombie picked him up by the throat and started chewing on his face. The poor trader screamed so loud that it alerted every single undead creature on the entire site...
They started fighting over the body of the trader but a particulary nasty zombie came riding on a rottening ponie and managed to grab the corpse from the rest of the herd... But as he kept running he came close enough to spot the rest of the party...
(http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc401/zlowpoke/Water14.png)
Just as the zombies were catching up to them a hole in the hill opened up and a sweaty dwarf looked out and waved.
As they ran towards the hole many fell to the grasp of the undead but...
(http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc401/zlowpoke/Water15.png)
The inhabitants of the hill managed to wall off the hole at the last moment, it was a harsh decision as a little boy was locked outside...
The dwarves here at Markedangels were just as surprised to see the general Brewster as he was to see still living dwarves.
In the few coming weeks, the new arrivals got used to the life in the hole and all found work for themselves.
Upon many complaints on Chiltons pictures of trees everywhere it was decided that Bluespuerto would be the new engraver, a decision that everyone was happy with except for Chilton. :P

We got done with the mining and we have enough rock to support a fort this small. We're running low on wood though, Bluespoerto has some crazy idea about searching for some wooden mushrooms below ground and we might look into that later.
The caravan arrived but as they saw the lands of Markedangels they were pretty much like

So i'm a engraver... Well, i think it's unlikely that i have to go to the surface, so good for me. I can't wait to play it (and not getting killed)... But i got to say. You better skip me during this week. I've just been told that I have six exams XD. Unlucky me... Well, as there is plenty of overseers, i think it's no problem, is it? Just take me to the end of the list.
Sorry
Thats cool, friend. Im sure noone will mind a slight shuffle :)
Ive put You at the back of list. But, as You have noticed, I have My own turns slotted in to check up on things. If Youre Exams are done before one of My turns, I wont mind sliding You back in right after that turn. After all, normally Youd have been one of the first. That doesnt mean You have to be one of the last if You finish sooner than that.

This is of course if the fort hasn't fallen by then :P, I was planning on constructing this but due to the large number of legendary undead outside someone else will have to make it instead ;DSpoiler (click to show/hide)

Using soundsense on this embark is painful as you have to listen to the constant mud-wrestling ::)
Well I got my revenge when some langur-people stole their clothes :P
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
A new barracks has been built and Brewster is training Twangykid, the demonstrations are going great but the sparring is a bit one-sided :P
Chilton installed a statue of the war/chaos god in the there to raise the fighting spirit :D. He also built a statue of a damselfly...what? ???
(http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc401/zlowpoke/Water20.png)
The little boy that Chilton locked out during the zombie siege has been following him in his nightmares and he has been looking even more trobled then usually...
For every day that passed by his condition got worse and worse, now it has gone so far that he keeps looking over his shoulder over and jumps at the slightest hint of a noise.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Well i'd say that the fort is in pretty good state even though I have to tear down workshops to get lumber ::), the mines has been mined and we even have an unused copper-ore stockpile :). I can no longer sit by the well all day as some dwarves built a proper fishing hole...sigh. I'm getting alot of small and bony cavefish but I haven't seen anything else so far...they are really chewy but I guess they're better then nothin' :-\
Our foodsuplies are stable but the dwarves have started complaining about the lack of variety...the good ol' plumps are nice and all but after a week or so they lose their charm, the cavefish is...well they are shit :-\, but it's the closest thing we can get a kittenroast at this point. Not a single hour pass without Panopticon complaining about the lack of ale but his rambeling is usually cut off by him chugging another bottle of purple plump-wine.
(http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc401/zlowpoke/Water22-1.png)
Bluesproto did once again lay out his plans about digging deeper to claim the treasures of the depths. It would give us access to a variety of plants aswell as solving our wood shortage. He even went as far as saying that we could hunt for meat down there, this is the point when TwangyKid felt the need to speak up. She started argueing about the dangers of the underground and the horrid beasts wich live there.
The forts population was split in two halves, one which was convinced that the caverns would bring salvation to MarkedAngels and one which firmly belived that the thick walls of the hill was all that protected them from certain death. I who took part with neither side spoke up for the first time in moths, the other dwarves looked kind of startled at me as I layed out my proposal. The idea was simple, Markedangels needed a leader to move onwards.
Who it'll be I don't know yet but it looks like Chilton might be a strong adversary as he is trusted by most of the dwarves and is known for his hard work but it seems as if Commander Brewster will try to take the position by force. :o
End of Chapter 2.
I hear enough of that irl :PSlowpoke. ;)
I could take a turn later down the line if there's an empty spot :D
There is some wierd pools here and there in the fort... just ignore them as they were part of my !!fishing-science!! :P
I just realised that I'm married to Fishybang...

I stand up and push poor Chilton back in his seat. His fight for leadership wasn't steadfast. The poor ghost child always following him around has weakened his will, and he is physically exhausted doing all the work in this place. I place a wad of tabacky under my lip and review our situation.

No animals, check

My review of the situation:
This is a cluster of zombie shit and plumphelmts.
Obviously we need more resources and citizens.
Due to the Elite Wrestler zombies! and me being the only warrior we have, I have determined we shall dig to the caverns below to gather more plants, and wood.
Eventually, we will need to allow safe passage into the fortress for migrants some-way soon though.

The fisherzombies will ignore your dwarf and run for the water-hole instead while they search for 'em fishy goodies you just lock the door. Fail-proof (only work on fisher-zombies though :P).

Migrants - Armok have mercy on them.
They came in droves. Everyone was running around nuts like. They were scaring most the zombies away, but the wrestlers did chase down the others, eventually they came inside
45 citizens total now - some MAY be outside running around still.

We unlocked the first front door and most of them ran inside for safety. Eventually we tore down the temporary wall and, waalaa, more citizens.

What I have is almost worse than dial-up...other than not having to dial in over a phone line physically. I have a "Smartphone" that is capable of the new 4G connection speeds BUT I live out in the boonies and don't even have a 1G environment. So yeah, it is about the speed of dial-up, with a slightly sketchy connection that drops out randomly sometimes. Seeing the save file size from dffd it would take me perhaps an hour and a half to download the save and likely a good 2-3 hours to reupload one once finished >.< I can't wait til I can get satellite internets!!!!!!That wouldnt be too terribly bad - The Torture would be posting up Screenshots ;)

Well, in that case I would go through the trouble of just doing some img linking after uploading them to imgur or wherever it is that is better than PB or ImageShack haha. It probably would take an hourish to get everything uploaded but actually posting should work rather quickly doing img links. Not entirely familiar with BBCode but wouldn't it just be "imgBracket + imgURL + /imgBraket"?
I think I will attempt to download the save from dffd just so that I know what I would be "looking forward to" should I end up joining in on any game in the future, sans Satellite Internet...
GalenEvil
*EDIT: I downloaded the save from dffd and it took almost exactly 1h 30m. Huzzah for half-assed download estimates! :D
*EDIT+: Something that I wonder about... are the files under the folder "../raw/" required in the download or would it be possible to just use any other set of raws that I have? If it is not required then, as the game is vanilla based on the OP, it shouldn't be necessary to have them uploaded as well? That way it would cut down on the download time for anyone, if there is anyone beside myself, that has a horrid internet connection. Granted, 3MB of raws isn't really much compared to 27MB of total download but every little bit helps.
*EDIT++: Please disregard EDIT+ if there are no people active that have poor connections, as I have not yet decided if I want to try and join a succession game at the moment... >.> lol

I know :PAt first I thought you were talking 'bout drawings but now I realise you meant the slowness of updating, silly me :PI was talking about the pics!
Oh and by the way, I hope you didn't mind that I stepped in and made the short update about the other settlement(which does not exist)in your absence? :P

Guard: "The badgermen are coming! Look, there they are, off in the hills!"
Mayor: "That last wave, combined with the vampire attack. has left us weakened. We cannot hope to take out the Badgers before the caravan.
Vieto: "Sir, I have managed to repair the magma cannon. We can flood the valley with lava, and at 3 times the rate!"
Mayor: "Just in time too. They are coming in droves. I don't think we can hold them in time. Pull the lever!"

Dear diary, I was lucky to sneak past the Badgermen with my wife and child. We managed to find a caravan that met up with a group of migrants heading to a fort called Markedangels. It sounds like a friendly place. I have told Sodel and Irvad to remain silent about the... flaw in my design. It turns out that I accidentally wired the magma-pump backwards, causing it to flood the entire fortress with lava, killing everyone, but my family, as I lived in the obsidian tower. Hey, siege engineering is a lucrative business. Seige comes, goblins die, I get iron stuff for my room. They must never know...

Dear Chilton,Good Day To You Sir!
Please dwarf me as that original woodworker/stonecrafter.
Unfortunately can't take a turn due to heavy duty study schedules. :'( (Let's see again after 6 weeks or so. If the fort is still alive...)
Yours truly,
V
Your Request has been approved.
Regards,
Chilton
:L What happens to my narrative if my character dies? Do i have to talk as a zombie ruler of the fort? Because that would be so damn awesome.
That is not an invitation to kill me.
Depends. Normally Youd just be Re-Dorfed under a different name.

Dear Diary
Actually, no, diaries don't sound right. Ah well, I'll change that. Anyways, we arrived at the cheery location, and spotted some dwarves in front of the entrance, eating fish and singing songs. I thought this meant they were friendly, and the place was friendly, so we designated one dwarf to go ahead and introduce us. Turns out, there were zombies. Everyone else ran around in massive panic, while my family and I just walked in to what appeared to be a holding bay. Once everyone was inside (from running, I suppose), we were allowed in. We haven't found the booze stockpile yet, but even in my tired, near-sober state, I think I have some ideas for purifying the land with lava! I'm trying to talk our current overseer, Brewster I believe he is named, about setting up a magma reservoir near the surface.

Just needed to tweak that a bit. See, this is the only serious Evil Biome in the entire World. Itd make more sense for them to be ignorant :) (Bold)
And to the (Italic), thatd require us to have actually gotten down to Magma Level yet - Were still a few Urists up, unless thats changed.

After the fall of the dwarven kingdom most dwarves set off for Copperbacon to start a new life, some got lost on the way and due to the sheer amount of dwarven stupidity this group of lost dwarves grew quite large, large enough to build their own settlement. So much idiocy focused in place, this was bound to be a dissaster. Well they were off to a good start buy building the fort in the middle of badgermen territory.

As Vieto now found himself lost in the unforgiving woods he started to regret not telling anyone about the fact that he managed to build the magmapumps backwards...
Well he got lucky as a group of dwarves singing 'bout the booze in MarkedAngels marched by, Vieto quickly joined up with them and never spoke a word of Badgerhills ever again...
I love the reactions of everyone that arrive at MarkedAngels and see the happy zombies playing around with stuff :P

One dwarf was caught outside lived quite awhile. He lived off the deaf elf wares. The booze and berries sustained him a long time. I shouted at him to pick up the wooden weapons and armor and fight the zombies. I personally wanted to see how strong the zombies were.
(http://i.imgur.com/Eqd7W.png)
He didn't last long... this will be a hard battle. Some whispers of magma have reached my ears. Where do these fools think magma is at? We've not come close to seeing any.

A crap! Forgot about that fool with his mood. I walk up to him and he has a rock and is yelling about skeletons... guess he wants bone material.

"A shit, Chilton! Did you not slaughter that livestock?" I screamed as words of an insane dwarf come to me as I play with a very upset olm.
(http://i.imgur.com/aVr1w.png)
The olm was strong and our wooden spears are weak! Blood filled the cavern dwarf and olm alike. While upstairs two ranger recruits try to calm the insane dwarf down.

Guess dwarfs only know one why to calm a dwarf down. The two recruits come down to help with the olm too.

So: One Chapter per day. Except maybe Chapter 1, because Chapter 0 is a preface.
I must say this but: In Character, DO NOT act on any of this until the end. Or it will be easily taken out of context. It wont make sense in the context of how things are now, if all You have is what is essentially Story from before any of this had happened.
Ill especially let You know when, and which Chapters should be the objects of rumor and news, spreading about the land, dont worry :)
And Yes, that Dwarf DOES have Potential I believe :D

The Annal of Ilulkatdir
Written By Lord Dakassazir, Guildmaster of the Awe-Inspiting Torturous Guild - Lord of Mountainhome Dakassazir The Halls Of Blood, Ruler of the Island of Iton Nazuth, King of Udil Ros.
Praise be Iwethi, the Clear Tyrant.
Chapter 0: Preface
My Name is Chilton.
But I have been called, Lord Dakassazir.
Ruler of the Prison Dakassazir.
And owner of almost as much Land as the King Himself.
And I had full power over the Administration of This Place. And I saw fit to make it a pinnacle of Justice. And Order. And Our Power as a Species.
This is the Story of Colorbridge.
And the Story of My Deeds and Exploits.
Chapter 1: Colorbridge
Colorbridge The Halls Of Blood stood as the greatest of all Mountain Halls.
A few Issues still Trouble Scholars, but the Picture is Clear.
In 1051, My Guild founded this Place, as a Fort. It was the only True Fort in the whole Land. It was safe. Secure. Or so We presumed as We plundered the Mountain of its Riches, and Prospered.
But it was never to be.
Welcome to Dakassazir, the Maze of History.
From the Surface of a Mountain to the Depths of the World, We Stretched.
Our Defenses Infallible.
Our Beauty Clear.
Our Glory Radiant.
Our Strength Apparent.
Notes: Dakassazir is a real Fort, and was My longest living and most successful DF Achievement ever. Most of this is real, with some alterations for the sake of the Story. Chilton was actually the name of the Lord, as well. He was once My Primary Character for PnP RPGs, when I used to be into them. And is very, very detailed in His Characteristics.
For things You can mention in Your Stories and have show up by Rumor by Migrants and such; You can:
-Speak of a "Lord Dakassazir" back on the Mainland, who ran some weird Cult up at His Prison Fortress. But You dont know much more about it, because You Migrated away from the Mainland (If its a Migrant now) / You became a bit disconnected from News of the Land (If Youre one of the founding 7).
I suggest waiting a few more Chapters before bringing this stuff up In Character.

Well, I dont know what time it is there, but here its 20 past Midnight :D
Zulban will make a good Dorf. But We shouldnt let someone specifically ask for Him - Itd be a bit unawesome, since He may amount to great deeds, and as a result, itd be a bit predictable for someone to say "I wanna be the new found killing machine who will ultimately be awesome!". That said, Ill leave it up to Brewster. That was just a thought, not an instructive :)

Oh, and btw I didn't comment on your backstory now 'cause I don't really know what to make of it :PThats only the Introduction.
Chapter 0 is a preface, Chapter 1 is setting the scene.
It basically just tells You of how Chilton was the Ruler of a Prison in the Hills, and His Plans for it.
There are 14 Chapters, and almost all of them are so long I may need to split them into two Chapters instead of one for the Post Length. :)
Im tempted to go right onto Chapter 2 now, rather than in about 6 hours, so as not to just leave it on the Intro.

Chapter 2: Mercantile
This is the Story of Our Prisoners.
In 1052, the Halls were Carved, and the Histories were Written, of the Clear Demons.
The First Sacrifice was Vabok Girderraw, who saw Herself above the Tyrant.
Force Cleansed Her Mind In The Halls, And She Was Broken.
The Second Sacrifice was Minkot Claspblizzard, who saw Herself above Me.
Water Washed Her Body In The Caverns, And She Was Purified.
The Third Sacrifice who sought My Hate was Olin Strifeulboot.
Magma Repeled Her Wickedness In The Deep, And She Was Melted.
The Fourth Sacrifice who dared oppose Me was Risen Granitevirtue.
Dry Were His Lungs As He Lay In That Small Dark Room, And He Was Repentant.
The Fifth Sacrifice was the Liason Ashtan Raspedhatchets, whos Indoctrinated Guardians sought to belittle Me.
Loud Were Her Screams As She Was Gutted And Bled In The Dungeon.
The Sixth Sacrifice was Ral Bellrouts, who dared to gaze upon My Throne.
Empty Was His Belly In The Workshop He Perished In.
The Seventh Sacrifice was the Trader Sezet Feralfills, who was caught within the gaze of My Rage.
Under My Hammer She Was Beaten And Torn, And With An Axe She Was Dispatched.
The Eighth Sacrifice was Zasit Poststrap, who was chosen to be culled, so as to slow Breeding.
She Was Impaled Upon A Spike, And Left For Display Until She Was Rotten.
The Ninth Sacrifce was Mebzuth Floorrushed, My Wife, who dared to disobey My Whim.
She Was Sealed Within The Wall Of The Workshops, Where She Paid The Price.
The Tenth Sacrifice was Fikod Libadadil, who died for My Pleasure.
She Was Thrown Unto A Burning Bush, To Die Slowly And Painfully.
The Eleventh Sacrifice was Stodir Naturetrades, My Daughter, who ceased to hold Me in high regard.
She Was Bled Out Upon The Great Altar Of Iwethi.
The Twelth Sacrifice was Avuz Playgolds, who was sent to live in a Pasture with the Animals, to be their Feed.
The Thirteenth was Inigish Nogzaneg, Who Was Cooked With Boiling Water.
The Fourteenth was Goden Silverbridge, who was Suffocated for My Viewing Pleasure.
The Fifteenth was Adil Lanterntall, who was Crushed beneath a Stone Bridge.
The Sixteenth was Doren Roareddikes, who was dropped from the Walls into the Dry Moat, to die, screaming in agony.
The Seventeenth was the Hysterical Bitch Whore Ezum Omenstaff, who was beaten to death by our Warriors.
The Eighteenth was Sibrek Morulimesh, who took too long building My Bed. He was Sealed in His Workshop.
The Ninteenth was Dumed Tosidalis, who was locked within the Great Maze.
The Twentieth was Stinthad Bufutilral, who was thrown to the Captive Animals.
The Twentyfirst was Domas Kogantimnar, who was thrown in a Hole, to have Garbage Dumped upon His Wretched Mass for all time.
The Twentysecond was Kol Ledegen, who was thrown into the Hole of Domas Kogantimnar, for This Man was also Trash.
The Twentythird was the useless fucking whore Kel Knotink, who became incapable of doing Her Duty - And so She was disposed of.
The Twentyfourth was Zulban Tulunbecor, who was buried in Dirt.
The Twentyfifth was Libash Momuzamkol, who was disciplined by means of stoning.
The Twentysixth was the Prisoner Rimtar Defelkudust, who was never allowed to be Unrestrained.
The Twentyseventh was Kubuk Tiristkakdal, who faced a Firing Squad of Arrows.
The Twentyeighth was Kib Ilromuzol, who tested the efficiency of our Ballista.
The Twentyninth was Lokum Zuntirzursul, who was used to test the Aim of the Catapult.
The Thirtieth was Urist Idenusan, who was given the means to commit suicide.
The Thirtyfirst was Risen Lolokicum, who was locked in a Mine to be caved in.
The Thirtysecond was Vabok Thobnar, who learnt the Explosiveness of His Alchohols.
The Thirtythird was Ral Bellrouts, who was used in the Creation of a Necklace.
The Thirtyfourth was Eshtan Blazecoal.
The Thirtyfifth was Id Praisedgilt.
The Thirtysixth was Pabat Rampartdwelling.
And So My Will Was Known, And MY Determination Clear.
And it seemed that with every day, less and less of them came.
I was making this place the Epicenter of Our People. Fear struck the very minds of those who heard uttered the name of this place.
Notes:
Not quite into the full fledged Story yet, but should You so choose, the Migrants can have come from the Mainland, and speak of Atrocities They heard of being committed in the Prison at Colorbridge, and that Their Ruler was running some kind of Cult. But that They dont know any more, as thats the only News that reached Them.
The next Chapter is when it becomes more about telling Chiltons Story than speaking of His Fort and Deeds. But these 0-1-2 Chapters were necessary to set the scene.

Chapter 3: Destruction
And so in 1056, the Fury was Released, and the Inhabitants begun to Kill Each Other.
I waited within the Temple, with the other Hierarchs.
Two Hundred And Fourty Died to make clear Our Glory.
And Eighteen Lived.
And seated upon Ilulkatdir, I Waited.
I Waited as Anger and Hate tore apart the Foundations of this place.
And after some Months, Calm returned to the Halls, and the Animals were Butchered at the Temple.
But it would not be long lived.
There would be retribution for the misdeeds done to US.
The Traitors would suffer, and never be allowed to Die.
Their fate would be worse than death. And the Loyalists would see to it.
Chapter 4: Regicide
In 1058, the Unwary King and His Wife thought Us to be deserving of being the Mountainhome.
We were the crux of Security and Unity.
And so, He came.
And He was The Thirtyseventh.
The King was shown the Halls of History, and was left to beget Their Knowledge, and He Perished Righteously.
It was by My Hand that I ripped the Throat of the King, and tore the Guts of His Wife.
And I. Was. The King.

Chapter 5: Elvenfolk
These Caravans would stop, and 1059 would be a Year to remember.
And so the Traders were taken, and Caged, and put on Display.
They were goaded and admired, and examined and stripped and starved.
But They became the Thirtyeighth, the Thirtyninth, and the Thirtieth. Their Guardians fled, and They were alone.
And They were Drilled and Cut.
And They were Beaten and Dehydrated and Starved and Reclused.
And They were finally Released into the Caverns, where the Critters Slaughtered Them.
This is OUR FUCKING LAND.
THIS IS OUR FUCKING WORLD.
Chapter 6: Downfall
And now They want Me.
They Think I Have Lost My Mind.
They Think Me Insane. Berserk.
They Think I Will Never Finish My Artifact.
They Are Wrong.
And They Will All Die.
The Doors will be Sealed.
Their Defenses turned against Them.
I Will Be The Victor.
This Rebellion will be squashed, and these petty pathetic worms will suffer by My Hand.
Chapter 7: Icons
And Order was Restored.
The Rebellion quelled.
They dispatched Armies to stop Me, but our Warriors repelled Them at every corner.
I personally lifted a Man from the ground, and slammed His Weak Pathetic Husk upon the Stone Floor, before letting Him taste My Hammer.
The Violence was savory, and beautiful.
I personally slew at least two dozen of the insolent swits.
Their bodies broke like twigs under My Might.
And My Soldiers did away with the rest.
But I have received disturbing news, of a Miner in the Capitol, who did something wrong. Very wrong.
I was told even by My most trusted Informants to prepare to flee. And hide.
I made preperations, just to be safe.
Good News: The Backstory is over, and the next Chapter will be the actual Story getting going. All of this was essential to set the scene, but from now on, Story!

Chapter 8: Righteousness
They were right. I dont know what happened, but black dust litters the air. Plants die, and fields perish. Fire levels forests, and pure Evil roams the World.
The Preperations I had made proved imperative.
I had a Ship and a brigade of Warriors prepared to take Us away. We had provisions enough to make it North, to the Human Colonies.
I rallied all of My Loyalists, and We set out. But We were late to the match.
We were assaulted, by a stream of crazed individuals, led by Demons. We engaged them on the Fields of Highland.
Nearly all of Us perished in the bitter conflict. I tried to save those Loyal to Me, but the Conflict was relentless.
I saw My Family torn limb from limb. I saw Warriors ripped in half and tossed accross the field. I saw Officers being feasted upon. Men burnt to death around Me. I was shot by an arrow in the gut, and was unable to stand.
I saw Animals broken and bloodied, and torn and crippled.
I saw a Baby with a split skull.
We barely survived.
And now here I lie, in a Cave. I have regrets. Too many regrets. I did so much. My intentions were just. I only wanted to make the world a safer place. But even I can see that I descended into borderline insanity.
I neglected what was really important. Now that everything that was important to Me was destroyed.
But the screams of the dieing, and battered echo in My Ears.
I dont know what to say.

The journal of the female dwarf Vodrilus Bomrekasrer, discovered among the ruins of Lisedsedil Arel Thunen, inside the remains of a crushed diorite coffer. Even though most of the pages were corrupted beyond repair, with only a few legible sentences remaining, several entries survived in a condition that allowed the careful work of master renovators to cast new light on the strange and singular events that occured in Lisedsedil Arel Thunen, Markedangels the Water of Living. We were overjoyed to find the following excerpt mostly intact, especially because it appears to be a brief summary of the state of the fortress at the beginning of the year 252.

1st Slate, year 252
Dear diary,
I think it's time to make a note of how things are right now in Markedangels: I am beginning to like this place. In fact, I love it. After two years under the blessed shade of the earth, I am finally beginning to forget the horrors that have befallen the rest of the world. Alas, the horrors outside, it will take much longer to forget them. That evil smoke. I thought we had escaped it. I still remember the day when that dark smoke billowed and rolled towards us from the horizon. Some were lucky enough to escape into the bowels of the earth, but the others... Some turned into horrifying aberrations, not really alive, not really dead. They tore many to pieces with their bare hands, receiving wounds that should have been fatal. But I shall not write about this any more. Not now. These memories will fade once more, and I will be happy.
I love this place. Unlike most places I have ever been to, here we only have plump helmets, and an abundance at that. They're so tasty! Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the drink. I could murder a barrel of sunshine right about now. Fat chance of getting that here. But onwards to happier things! I've made a lot of good friends. We are happy here. Well, most of us at least. I don't know if they like me, but I know they're great people. Chilton is a good person: He made two very nice statues! I'll probably never make anything as great as those: One of damselflies (where did he get the idea?), and another of Amud Flagwhispered. It's nice to know that he's also a follower of Amud. I wonder if he's also into Amug? He probably doesn't care about rumors - he's so quiet about his past.
That's my take on the situation, Chilton. Feel free to modify as needed.

Nice story Chilton. Adding backstory to the fort is great, adds attachments to your character, instead of just Dwarf #251. The random capitals in your sentences annoys the hell out of me though. I'm a grammar naziThey are not random.
It is a method of Emphasis, mostly for the title or name or identity of something. Like, Country. Or You. Or Culture. Or Story. Or Fortress.*
It annoys the hell out of Me when People dont consider that something so selective cant possibly be random :)
That said, in the Story I did deliberately capitolise the first letter of some entire sections, to dictate the disjointed and overformalised frame of mind He was in. Not in the later ones, so much.
*Or, other things. "My Good Man" for instance, is not a series of singular terms, but three words used to make a statement. Much like, "As You Wish", so long as it is either at the end of a sentence, or the entire sentence, or between commas. ..., *statement*, ... - For example, would call for it as much.
Not many people notice or care.
And frankly, You will live.

Chapter 9: Morality
We trudged to the shores, to find our Ships ruined. Everything was gone. A messenger notified Me He was the only Survivor of Dakassazir. He said the Hills ran with Blood, and everyone was dead.
I didnt know what to say. We just stared at each other in understanding.
We had to leave.
I didnt deserve it, but these Men were now My Responsibility.
I had to save them.
It was a start, to make up for the things I had done.
I needed to do this, or I wouldnt be able to live with Myself.
I have a strong, violent force within Me. But I choose to bottle away the Anger. The Rage. I have done so much, but now I only want to do this. I need to become a better Dwarf. I need to clear My Conscience. I need to help.
I heard of a small band of Nobles, who headed off to the Western Shores with some Civilians. We had to go after them.
But for now, We are camped. And I am Drawing in the Dirt. Trying to piece together the horros I had witnessed.
Few would survive this.
I will be fortunate if We do.
But I pity all those who perish. I have never seen such awe inspiring force from any Enemy.

Moments later all I hear is screaming and crying. "What on Armok's bloody earth..." I stormed upstairs and found a mess of citizens and zombies, both scared of each other. The zombies just wanting to eat something besides damn fish and the citizens wanting to go pick up the remaining socks of the elfs.

I sent the miltia in to scare the zombies backwards and to un-install the damn hatch. TwangyKid ran out and with no regards to his own safety pushed the zombies back outside. Unfortunately he did not get the memo to come back in the damn fort, he continued to chase the zombies all around the outside. Days past and we heard no word from him.

So today, we discovered the magma lake. I took on look at it, and thought: "It will do." I am currently planning on how to get it to the surface. To start, I am going to need a lot more mechanisms. There is only one way to purge the surface of those zombies, and that is with fire!

Chapter 10: Relentless
We are dieing.
Starving and Dehydrating.
We have no Supplies, but the shore is so near.
It is only Me now, and one of My... I dont know what He is. He was one of My People, but We had never even met each other before this.
We have become friends now. A Fisherdwarf, who nicknames Himself Slowpoke, presumably because He likes, as He had told Me, to sit by the Shore, and relax. Fishing for recreation. Enjoying Life.
He hadnt seen the things I had seen. Fortunately the Fisherdwarf was spared the Horror of the Conflict We had endured, along with the others, who are now dead. May They Rest Soundly.
But We are nearly there.
So close now.
I dont think He knows yet. What I have done. What I am capable of. The boiling anger in My veins. How much it is taking out of Me to not explode in a stream of Bloodlust.
But My Feelings are equally quelled by My Sadness. My Regret. My... I dont even know the word for how I feel.
I wish I could have done things differently. Not done other things.
Taken an more even hand. Not succembed to My Egotism.
It wont happen again. Ever again.
I am going to control Myself.
This is My chance.
To be a better person.
Nobody knows Me now. Nobody at all.
Only this Man.
And He has seen only the best of Me.

I think they have all forgotten about the hatch incident by now. Good. Most dwarves appear to have short term memory anyways, possibly induced by the raving mad lunatics outside.
In any case, I think we need a freshwater well, as well as a hospital, in case someone gets injured, like that guy who fought the snowman. I'll be responsible for the well, naturally.

Engineer's log:Funny you should mention that. I was having a pre-continuing-turn scan of the Fortress, thinking of where to build a Hospital, and thinking about the possible need for a nearby Water Supply. I think I know where the Hospital will go, so as to minimise travel time to it, but the Well might be complicated. I do however now know that YOU will be responsible for running it!

Well-building... finally something that not even vieto can mess up :PYeah, except that we need it now, and Ill be making it. And more importantly, Ill be moving the water through Z-Levels to get to a Reservoir for the Hospital, and as an Emergency Water Supply incase something happens to cause us to abandon the upper levels; Possibly a zombie flood.
Its gonna take me a few hours to perfect the design plan, let alone actually implement it.
Im privy to suggestions, so heres the basic formula:
Reservoir ==> Hospital Water Supply Trough , Second Reservoir ==> Emergency Trough
Pump Stack
Cavern Water
Floodgates and Hatch Covers will manage it. There will be a 'sewer' like design, instead of 1x1 pipes, allowing Dwarves to wander around in there if I open the lever controlled door. This is so I can make new 'pipes' if need be.

Chapter 11: Gently
The Shore is within eyesight. I see a Caravan up ahead, presumably the Nobles and Citizens.
We caught up to them, and I introduced Myself as a Traveller, and Slowpoke as a Fisher. They welcomed Us to Their Band.
They said They had made it here safely, but that They occassionally saw Men following from the Mountains, as though the Enemy persued from afar.
I made the acquantaince of a Pony, upon the back of which I rested briefly.
I petted it, and I feel We became Friends.
My second Friend.
My second step to forgiving Myself, out of possibly countless.

To begin with, its nothing like that at all. And the Sewer part only lasted 8 minutes. Its certainly combat heavy at times, but its primarily an RPG. One could argue that Deus Ex is exactly the same as Dead Island, except that Dead Island has more content. In other words, its a matter of how You look at it, and what You want out of it.

Post by: Chilton on March 18, 2012, 10:25:07 am
I've only played a few hours of it but it has gotten alot of bashing (both from critics and the people I know) for being repetitive.Subjective indeed - I can irrefutably call Call of Duty games repetitive, but Theyre still popular. People bashed Dead Island because They wanted a Survival Horror Game. What They got is a more direct approach to Horror that doesnt hide in the shadows, and makes You just as much of a Monster as the supposed Monsters.
But afterall everything is comletely subjective :P
Then theres those who complained about the health bars and damage numbers; They can be turned off.
The number of side missions? Avoidable if you choose.
Repetition? I can name alot of games they probably like thatre way more repetetive than one that gives You a pretty big open world, your own choice of how to approach a situation, in terms of where you come in from, how, with what, and what you do, as well as many different sceneries.
Like I say - Its what You want out of the game. If You go in expecting dark shadowy Survival Horror, You wont get it. If You go in expecting an Action Game, You wont get that either. It falls somewere in between Horror, Action, RPG, and Adventure.

-Just an hour earlier I had been woken up by the chaos outside of my cabin...
The smell of death and flames had traveled all the way down to the port and the sound of mayhem rang in my ears...
Dwarves in despair came running down the mountain screaming and flailing, many had lost limbs and even more were still burning to death...
Due to the early hour my reaction was slow...the situation was hard to take in...
I grabbed my hat and joined the hoarde of fleeing dwarves.
As I made my ship ready to sail out horrified dwarves came up to it asked for permission to board...
Still not on top of the situation I just mumbled something unhearable and pointed for the hatch to the lower deck.
As I managed to set sail a good 20 dwarves had already joined me...
Many badly hurt, one of them slowly dieing...Remember an old dwarf dressed in white telling me that the poor fellow was sick...
I seem to remember him from a long time ago...but I can't seem to place him...
Not more then a few hundred dwarves managed to escape, I'm guessing most of them are heading towards Copperbacon to start a new settlement...

Chapter 13: Repent
I have to seek forgiveness.
Somehow.
A Crewman attacked Me.
He was Hungry.
He wanted My Food, and He tried to stab Me with a Knife.
I dont know what happened. It came over Me again. The same Anger that drove Me to do what I did at Dakassazir.
I remember forcing Him to the Floor, and I remember feeling My Fist strike His Skull many times.
He was unrecongnisable when I was done.
I cried, in sorrow. I swore I would not be this Tyrant any more. I would not be this Lunatic.
I can be better. I must be better.
But it is done now.
It was Self Defense. I only took it too far.
I should have known better.
I should have just disarmed Him.
This could have ended so much better.
But alas, I threw His Body overboard.

First I just wanted to make a door. Then a bunch of twats decided to blunder out. Most of them were named, so I didnt want them to die because I didnt think Theyd be so arrogant.
So I sent out the Military.
But then the Military caused ALL the Zombies to congragate on one area. Then THEY started winning, and the Soldiers and Migrants scattered all over the place. Theyre all trying to get inside, but... Eh... :)
I know how to do it better the next time. The problem is, I was just making a Stair. It wasnt meant to be finished yet, but apprently everyone was busting to get out.
The use of Militia ultimately saved ALOT of live :D

I never wanted to be a cook, I wanted to be overseer of a fort, I bought my own manuals and read in my spare time but here at the Mountainhome they don't care what you want to be, only what they need. So I was doomed to a life of cooking plump helmet roasts and brewing wine for an increasingly boorish and unappreciative crowd. But I never lost hope! Not when Bomrek ruined by birthday cake (Minced Dog Tallow, Minced Quarry Bush Leaves, Minced Dwarven Flour) by throwing it at the Elf diplomat, not when goblins made off with my young cousin and apprentice Shorast while he gathered wild strawberries for the stew I was commissioned to make for the Mayor's election party (Minced Strawberries, Minced Strawberries, Minced Strawberries, Minced Elk Heart), not even when the local mischievous spirit moved my hidden stash of educational materials to the forge fuel stockpiles. I always knew I would one day be an overseer.
It seems that day might be coming, some traveler named Chilton is recruiting a crew to search out a new colony, they need a cook and there are plenty of opportunities for advancement. I will sign up tomorrow.

As Chilton and the other survivors ran for the docks Panopticon saw an opportunity to reevaluate his lifechoices...In the end he decided to join the others but his motives are still unknown, an other mystery is how he managed to escape all the hellspawn pouring out the mountain...

If I am to be redwarfed, I'd like a noble, preferably something useful like a bookkeeper or manager. Less likely to die due to self idiocy, and will guilt trip the players so I don't die.

Chapter 13: Repent
I have to seek forgiveness.
Somehow.
A Crewman attacked Me.
He was Hungry.
He wanted My Food, and He tried to stab Me with a Knife.
I dont know what happened. It came over Me again. The same Anger that drove Me to do what I did at Dakassazir.
I remember forcing Him to the Floor, and I remember feeling My Fist strike His Skull many times.
He was unrecongnisable when I was done.
I cried, in sorrow. I swore I would not be this Tyrant any more. I would not be this Lunatic.
I can be better. I must be better.
But it is done now.
It was Self Defense. I only took it too far.
I should have known better.
I should have just disarmed Him.
This could have ended so much better.
But alas, I threw His Body overboard.
I have no idea what you are talking about, what hellspawn? I mean yeah everyone seemed to be in a hurry, but I thought they just wanted to get out on the high seas? Upon reflection everyone did seem a bit sad and traumatized after we left though. I tried to cheer them up with my special traveling biscuits (Minced Dwarven Sugar, Minced Louse Meat) but they just threw them at me and cried.(http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc401/zlowpoke/Louseflavor.jpg)

Brewster just collapsed from Pain, before Slowpoke drove off the three Zombies ravaging Him.
His...
Ability to grasp has been lost.
Bluesproto is dead.
Cain is dead.
And...
And General Brewster is Dead.
He fought so valiently by the shore, then a wave washed over. And one of them ravaged His poor broken body.
A Stray Cow Calf Abominable Smoke Zombie kicked His Skull in, whilst He was unconscious from pain.
Im sorry!

xczxc has been struck down by a child warrior.
This isnt going to end, is it.

Please, everybody, just get inside the mother fucking Fortress.
Galenevil, Me, and Vodrilus are the only ones left ou... Wait a second...
Fishybang is an abominable smoke zombie.
And that was the last thing I saw, before the life left My Body.
I dont know where I am.
I am standing within a wooden room.
And here stands a Table, and Chair.
On the Table there is a white box, and a pen.
And this is My Recount.
This is all I have to offer.
Goodbye.

----------
My Name is Alkire.
And I have been appointed Mayor, given the death of Chilton.
The poor old man fought to the death, and slew nearly six of the things in His desire for survival.
I knew little about Him, but it matters not, now.
I am sealing the Entrance.
Chilton was too fucking quaint to lock the other survivors outside.
He was committed to saving them.
To My Knowledge, Galenevil and a bunch of Soldiers on the Northern Shore are all thats out there.
They can wait for Us to regroup, and come to save them.
I was out there Myself, on that shore.
I fought, and survived.
And I dont want the hell thats out there, to get in here.
Ever.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Chilton tried to build a Nobles area.
Hmph.
This shall be My Office.
Migrants.
Fan fucking tastic.
Most of them are already maimed or dead.
When next an armed Caravan passes by, I shall rally a Militia to fight alongside them.
Until then...
Oh Vodrilus.

Very few people are inside the Fort.
We need to stabilise things out there. This is hell, and its only getting worse by the day.
Im beginning to see why Chilton was concerned before He went and got Himself killed.
Fuck, fuckity, fuckers, fucking, fucked, fuck.

Its dead.
But its blood, has poisoned us.
My Skin... Its Blistering.
And peeling away.
Help.
Us.
PLEASE.
We need more people inside, or We. Are. Dead.
I have reopened the Entrance.
Alkire was just killed.
Now to hope some of those Migrants are alive out there.
It isnt looking likely.
People are dieing of thirst.
And theres barely enough people inside to do anything.
Armok save Us.

My name is Tolins!
Lets try and desperately survive!
Everything has ground to a halt.
We just killed a random Trog that somehow got in.
Panopticon is throwing tantrums.
Berserkers have charged outside to kill things for no reason.
Someone out there is trying to kill someone to make something out of their skin.
People are dehydrating.
SEND HELP.
Galenevil is dead.
So much death.
Noone is coming in. The Migrants outside are all being torn up and beaten by the Zombies.
Even a puppy has gone missing now.
Id send a call to arms, and Wed fight the Zombies. But its too late for that.
We are too few.
I cant wait to be unelected.
Its only Late Autumn.
I just received some terrible news.
The Survivors on the Northern Shore are all dead.
Wiped out overnight.
Oh Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

Slowpoke is dead, crushed and burnt by the Beast.
Rest in Pieces.

Its dead.
But at the cost of a brave man.
Is it Spring yet.
Nope. Not even Winter.
A Ghost has somehow battered someone, someone was bled out by the Zombies, and We barely have enough Food being made.
The Outpost Liason has arrived.
Rest in Peace.
A Snatcher.
A Fuckin Snatcher.
WASNT THIS ALREADY BAD ENOUGH.
Now Goblins are breathing down our necks.
Five, so far.
The Soldiers with the Caravan are being Pommeled.
The Child Bembul has been Kidnapped.
Wasnt He the son of Brewster?
And now more of that smoke is drifting by.
Right where the armed Caravan is.
Its a fucking infestation out there, and its getting worse.
WINTER!
YES!
I get a BREAK.

Why dont We just Restart, Wall Ourselves inside, Wall off some Cavern, and live happily ever after, in perfect harmony and prosperity?
I dont care if We ultimately die, and wind up reclaiming the place, We are not cheating our way to some weird placebo of happiness.
Post by: Chilton on March 26, 2012, 03:00:36 am
Its about time We stabilised things.
Getting Migrants inside is futile at the moment, mainly due to Their unwillingness to come in.
The Door is wide open, and Traps prevent the Zombies getting in.
Everything outside is Forbidden.
I have done everything I can, from Burrows to trying to fight.
Im done caring, its time I focus on the Fort itself.
We just caught a bunch of Zombies in Cages.
We shall store them in that big empty Room in the First Floor.
Theres many less Tantrums. Mostly just kids.
The real Berserks are locked outside.
They were Heroes.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Heres the biggest part of the Killing Field.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Vieto has withdrawn from Society.
Vodrilus is still valiantly battling.
Vieto has seized a Mechanics Workshop.
And now Vieto is making something.
How nice!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I know how We could fix everything, but Im unsure We are even capable at this point.
Stone Fall Traps, and Weapon Traps would be needed.
Ill try it, anyway.
The Zombies seem to have given up on Vodrilus, and Fishybangs Zombie is staring at the sealed back door. Hehe.
My Entrance Plan may actually work.
Itd be good for letting things *in*, but stopping stuff going *out* may be an issue, as per fucking usual.
A Cloud of Abominable Smoke drifts on by outside.
Followed closely by another.
The Horde outside is massive. I doubt We will ever be capable of nullifying Them.
The Entrance is almost ready.
Next We'll just need some Migrants to test it on.
Im pretty sure this is our best bet at this stage.
Oh, also, Vodrilus, You fought valiantly. But You seem to be dead.
You shall all be Redorfed when its sensible to do so, worry not!
And Brewster, Youre succeeded by TWO Daughters!
Its begun raining.
I was half expecting it to rain fucking blood, or something.
Weve all calmed down. Anger shall not be the Death of Us.
We can survive this yet, dammit!
Everyones taking an underground Fishing Break.
Yay.
Nothing could possibly be more important than Fishing.
...Im not being sarcastic. We need Food.
It be late Winter.
Soon We shall hold the Elections.
Im just gonna do some quick Redorfing.
Not everyone, just Brewster, and Slowpoke, and Felecia, and Twangykid. Ill let Panopticon sort the rest out.
You know, My New Entrance may *actually* work.
Im damn well not gonna be the one to test it but, thank Armok.
Another Smoke Cloud.
Vodrilus may end up being our Enemy.
Everything has been Stabilised.
After all the Chaos, I shall actually do some Redorfing.
Bluesproto, Vodrilus, Cain, Galenevil, xczxc, Welcome Back.
Well, (*Name* II) that is.
I actually would test the Entrance, but thatd require Migrants.
Everything has been stabilised, and Were pretty much fine.
Biggest problem lies with the fact that at this stage, most of Our Equipment is on Corpses, Outside. So Expansion may be a big issue.
That wont be impossible to remedy. Just dangerous.
The Original Entrance has been outfitted with what I think is the best bet for a safe entry.
Youll need to add some kind of Pressure Plated Backup Mechanism Thingy to seal it incase a massive wave of the bastards come in but.
There is a fucking army outside, do not try and fight, it will not end well.
You have Food and Water aplenty, thats all good.
Overall, Weve been driven into the dirt a bit, but I did mine out the Hospital. Youll just need to make Beds from Cavern Trees, and itll be good to go.
The Water Thingy never got done.
Forgotten Beasts are the biggest danger right now. If another one comes, it may well wipe us out. I suggest preparing a failsafe of some sort.
Good Luck, Panopticon!
Youre among the few who Weathered the Storm.
Mostly because You just spent the whole Year Cooking.

Someone apparently started the process of smoothing Slowpoke's memorial, but process is halted a little over halfway through the "L" this will bug me.
...
Ah, there are the stockpiles, miles beneath the surface, oh hey the magma sea, hello there.
I must figure this out for myself, Panopticon has been established as pretty much oblivious to everything so he is in about the same state that I am now.
Goals for now:
1. Restart booze production, we have tons of plants and booze makes our dudes work faster
2. Figure out what these levers do, this will be !!Fun!!
3. Try to implement an anti zombie plan, perhaps atom smashing them, or perhaps getting magma up to the surface by means of pump stack or piston
4. Get people dwarfed and redwarfed, is there a list somewhere?

Well, it has been an exciting few years, turns out it wasn't an expedition I joined, more like a last gasp for the survival of our civilization. I rather enjoyed the boat ride, but many others did not, they even threatened to toss me overboard if I made any more of my biscuits, we arrived with a somewhat smaller crew than we started with and the miners set to digging us in.
The next few years were sort of a blur for me, I didn't have cause to visit the surface much, and eventually I gathered that no one should go up there... ever. I kept to myself in the kitchens and the various overseers mostly ignored me, I did find some excitement though, I punched out a hideous abomination from before the dawn of knowledge, I even made a lot of friends!Seriously, the dude is friends with the whole fort, even a smoke zombie, also he apparently killed that forgotten beast I mentioned earlier I have somewhat fewer now, Chilton was trying to save some people who got stuck on the surface and it all went wrong, I did a short stint in the military then, fighting is hard. But now spring has come, and Chilton told me it is my turn to shine! When I told the others about it they barely stirred from their shell shocked delirium and just went about their business. Come on guys, I know we have had a tough few months, and are trapped in an inhospitable hellhole with no way to escape or get reinforcements, but that doesn't mean you have to be such downers about it! have some special promotion cake(Minced Cuttlefish, Minced Dimple Cups, Minced Quarry Bush Leaves, Minced Giant Olm Tallow)!

I am refreshed and opened things up to look around, my goodness this fort is laid out strangely, I haven't even peeked at any of the other saves so I am coming into this blind and thus have no idea where anything is. There is a long and winding pathway that seems to lead only to a room full of smoke zombies in cages, none of the levers are labeled so that is gonna be awesome. I am not sure where the bedrooms are, if we even have any, or the dining room/kitchens. The only booze in the fort is 23 prickle berry wine lying forbidden on the surface, there are something like 50 odd smoke zombies roaming free out there as well. We have at least one Forgotten Beast roaming about, and apparently a dead one (not currently roaming) as well
Someone apparently started the process of smoothing Slowpoke's memorial, but process is halted a little over halfway through the "L" this will bug me.
...
Ah, there are the stockpiles, miles beneath the surface, oh hey the magma sea, hello there.
I must figure this out for myself, Panopticon has been established as pretty much oblivious to everything so he is in about the same state that I am now.
Goals for now:
1. Restart booze production, we have tons of plants and booze makes our dudes work faster
2. Figure out what these levers do, this will be !!Fun!!
3. Try to implement an anti zombie plan, perhaps atom smashing them, or perhaps getting magma up to the surface by means of pump stack or piston
4. Get people dwarfed and redwarfed, is there a list somewhere?
For the love of all thats good and Urist, do NOT PULL THE LEVER AT THE END OF A CORRIDOR FULL OF CAGE TRAPS, unless You are trying to bloody kill us!
Also, dont forget about using the Entrance full of Traps leading to the East Beach to try and let Migrants in.
And the Workshops and stuff are in Burrow Main.

Well it's been interesting so far! One of Brewster's kids wandered by with a missing leg right after I took office, she said she was attacked by a ghost. Doc tells me she will be fine, the ghost only punched her and the leg was lost some time ago.I feel bad that I didn't notice when it happened. I'll send her some leftover cake later as a get well present. I think we need to do something about the ghosts, the others say Chilton was haunted by one in the last years of his life, and also mentioned something about tearing off of pants. I told Felicia II; our mason, to make some slabs after she was done building tables.
Things happening to children seems to be a theme around here, well I guess things happen to everybody and there are more kids than others so the odds are in favor of that now. One of Slowpokez II kids, who actually reached his majority last year, is starting to look all fey, he took over a crafting workshop up near the top (I didn't even know those were there) and is meandering around collecting stuff and screaming about rock blocks.
I have busied myself getting a new office! In wandering about I found something labeled "Executives Hall" so I took it over for my own. It has statues, and a lever, I am overcome with curiosity but will hold off for now.
I think I need a new title, I am a chef, but I am also the overseer, hmmm, Overseer chef? Cheif chef? Chef ruler?The King of cooks? No no no.
...
Wait
I have it
I will be, The Master Chef!
Doc Tolins, who apparently is mayor, has been demanding someone make him harps, I think that is a great idea, some music should cheer people right up.
It is really hard to get people to work, they simply won't stop fishing, I fear for Slowpoke II's child
It is now the middle of Spring, and things are starting to work a bit, still can't figure out what they fey kid wants, has something to do with rock, but he also may want a block of tetrahedrite, we are working on it.
I managed to get a little more focus from our fellows by convincing them that they might be happier doing one thing rather than all things at once. We didn't need everybody fishing for example, when there were slabs to make and drinks to brew.
Once we get stocks going a bit and the ghosts laid to rest I think it might be time for some more moral inducing projects.

I had everyone assigned to do everything, because We DESPERATELY needed Food, and noone was doing it. So I made everyone do everything :)
The Lever under the Executives Office just runs the SuperHappyFunRoomOfHappy. Its safe.
The Executives Office was originally meant to be an area for all the Nobles Offices, then I was going to make it the Mayoral House. Its inconsequential what You do with it.
I really should have made a Notes section at the end of My last Update :D

I think I prefer the mystery tbh, finding this stuff out on my own would be fun, and from and RP perspective it is entirely believable that my dwarf doesn't know this stuff, being the oblivious sort he is.
Yeah, but it isnt exactly remarkable. And I didnt know if You knew which Entrance was meant to be which, and whatnot. Plus, Your Dorf helped build the Traps in the original Entrance. :)

Hey, I never said it should never happen. Nows just a bad time - Think about it. First, cleans us of the Zombies.
Then set up a secure Migrant Entrance before a Smoke Cloud rolls in and causes it all over again.
Then We may well be able to...
You know how in Medieval days, Youd throw pitch on people trying to get into a Gatehouse, or scale a Wall? Think that, only Pressure Plate Controlled Magma Showers.

I made a working elevator a few days ago. It's nice to see some people's faces lighting up for once! They are even beginning to see reason behind pumping up magma from the bowels of the earth! If all goes well, I may even be put in charge of this place.
Now, as for the risk of sieges, if I could weaponize the death cloud... I had gone into the field with a sock in order to attempt to collect samples to study in my lab... not having a proper lab, the kitchen seems like the best place to work. If we can kill the zombies with magma, then if we zombify enemy sieges, we can burn them with magma! It makes sense!
I could have sworn I left that sock around here somewhere...

In other news:
Panopticon's journal,
MIgrants? why would you come here?
Poor kid, couldn't get his rock or whatever he wanted so now he wanders all depressed, refusing both food and drink.
It's wierd, the migrants and the zombies appear to both be scared of each other, if they will keep that up for a little longer we may be able to arrange for them to get in.
Curse you Doctor Mayor! Now is not the time for earrings!
And now the elves have come, well at least they might distract the undead for a bit
Goblins? Everything stop happening at once!
More?! GAhhh!
It's sort of working! 3 migrants have made it in! Cain II nearly got himself killed when he decided he really wanted a Giant peach-faced lovebird left leg, but he is back too, we are all cowering in my office now.
The elves made it in! Yay! Now we can get some stuff! It may never be safe to let them out, but that is going to be more their problem really.
Had to lock the doors, the zombies found the tunnel, plus a smoke cloud has popped up, it's a bit chaotic at the moment but I think we got 5-6 new faces in here, plus the merchants.
I've arbitrarily decided that Bluesproto II can be our broker, upon looking at our stocks we decided that our best negotiating tactic will be just to sieze everything.
The calendar on the wall says it is summer now, and that means pretty much nothing while we are underground, the excape tunnel has been blocked off again, but can be reopened if we need it. We got a bunch of cloth, food, and some interesting animals from the elves. As well as a few new faces! I declare the 1st of Hematite a day of celebration! Dwarven wine and raw strawberries for all!(I haven't been cooking much, sorry.)

3-4 snatchers, and 2 ambush squads, they mostly did well and ran after taking a couple casualties from the undead horde.

Summer pretty uneventful, more migrants, I don't think they are going to make it in though.
It's sad, the zombies don't seem to want to actually attack the migrants outside, but make a rush for our doors everytime we unlock them, I can only imagine the terrifying dehydrating deaths they are suffering.
A gremlin showed up underground! How marvelous!
The Forgotten Beast Bothon has come! A huge feathered spider, it has a curling trunk and it appears to be emaciated. Its green feathers are long and narrow. Beware its poisonous bite!
ogod, it might be able to reach our farms! QUick, wall them off everyone!
Felicia II takes this opportunity to pop out a kid, yay!
It appears Bothon does not wish to swim, and thus may avoid us, I am still going to go ahead and wall off the farms from the rest of the cave though.
Everyone decided to hold elections as well for some reason, so congrats to Felicia II on being our new mayor, no you can't have my office.
NOOO! He can swim after all! TO ARMS...

Tragedy struck, the dwarf responsible for the few of us making it inside alive has been struck down by a terrible spider monster, it kicked many in the head. No one else seems willing to take command so I have stepped up, I will continue Panopticon's plans for the remainder of the year and then hand off to another overseer once spring comes, it cannot be soon enough.
The full list of the dead is as follows:
Felicia II, Vodrilus II, Feb, Shorast, Rimtar, Galenevil II, Cain II, Brewster II, Panopticon
The fort is filled with sadness, the surface still remains unreachable, I have continued with the wall sealing the farms from the rest of the caves.
Goblins have come to lay siege to us, some 12 crossbow wielders and a cave crocodile, they immediately used all their bolts on a nearby zombie and have spent the remainder of the summer hitting it with their crossbows. Why they live yet on the surface when so many of my kin perished escapes me.
So far they have avoided the terrible smoke that blows across the land.
Autumn has come, Vieto won't stop yelling about how terrible everything is.
Post by: Panopticon on March 29, 2012, 02:18:54 am
A fellow immigrant, Zaneg Tegirdodok, has been stricken by inspiration, I have ordered a leatherworks to be built to accomadate him.
Bothon's corpse rots where it lies, angering all who pass by, children go mad with regularity, and Vieto WON"T STOP YELLING!!
In unrelated news, the goblins seem to have gotten bored and went away, so that is nice.
Zaneg finished his artifact, an alpaca lever quiver he has named Neshatreg or "Riskglove" It has stuff on it, and an image of a human killing a goblin for some reason.
Vieto has finally calmed down, and decided to throw a little "We aren't dead yet" party, so that is nice.
...
And he ruined it by freaking out right in the middle of the thing, way to kill an evening man.
Man, Vieto really had it out for Dodok, a tanner who arrived when I did, bruised heart, broken ribs, fractured liver?! I am staying away from Vieto till he calms down.
Bluesproto II has been melancholic for some months, apparently hiding away somewhere and I didn't notice him, he appears to be on his last legs.
The wall underground is finally finished, we are relatively safe from monsters now, I've decided to put our newly acquired animals down there too in case something flies over. This includes a giant jumping spider, a giant crow, a bobcat, and a groundhog, whatever.
Migrants? Sheesh, well they are in a decent spot,we may be able to get a tunnel dug to let them in. May as well try.
Well, Vieto has calmed down, but Slowpokez is apparently really broken up about Bluesproto finally dying, so he is kicking all kinds of hell out of whoever is within reach. He punched Twangykid II's skull through his brain.
Sigh, the tunnel to get the migrants in got finished, but only one or two decided to take advantage of it, the others decided to strike out over land and I think there is little hope for them.
A caravan has arrived and promptly started fighting the natives, I hope they die near an access tunnel, we could really use an anvil.
Another goblin siege has shown up, a total of 97 golbins, trolls, and assorted mounts, this might be interesting if they don't get caught in a cloud of death smoke.
Vieto is back to being all pissy again.
The goblins are making quite the dent in the zombie population, also the merchants and the migrants, but I didn't know any of them anyway.
Winter is upon us, most of the goblins have left, Vieto is still mad, the merchants are all dead, dying or fled. And the zombie population has been reduced by ten or more, all in all a net gain.

I didn't redwarf you, I still don't really have a clear idea of who needs redwarfing, that said Slowpoke II exists anyway, I blame Chilton.I redorfed everyone before I uploaded the save. And unuploading the save, then reuploading it after ammending that just seemed tedious :P
Also, this Fort seems to be getting barraged with Forgotten Beasts.
I love it!
Post by: Brewster on March 29, 2012, 06:40:33 am
Panopticon, what's the status of the fortress? How many citizens are actually safe within it's control. What do they have access too? Any food, alcohol, or animals? Sounds like they are walled in away from food and the outdoors. Sounds like Project Mayhem isn't coming to fruition either.
I believe we need to wall ourselves in the magma forage room, set up a plump helmet & egg farm, make steel armor for every dwarf not helping with food & booze production. Train for a solid year or two in pairs of two. Once completed, release the BA militia onto the world! Reclaim our shit and rule like true dwarfs should!

Post by: Chilton on March 29, 2012, 10:42:47 am
Fort is actually in decent shape, the farms are walled off from the rest of the caverns, we have over 200 booze, perhaps 1000 food, a population of around 30, though 3-4 of them are melancholic or mad. When migrants arrive I dig a tunnel as close to their arrival point as possible and set up some doors in it, then I burrow everyone and wait for the migrants to figure out how to get in, once a zombie starts moving down the hallway I lock the doors in its face then wall off the tunnel for good measure.

Slowpoke has killed again, our mayor is terrible in battle and rule, he first demanded we not export backpacks. He then threw a shoe at a child and punched the brain out of a newly arrived migrant.
Memorials are finally getting engraved, it is hard to figure out who is a ghost or not so we are simply memorialising everyone, maybe this will make those who lost friends or family happier.
A clothier has withdrawn from society, found all he needed without much trouble.
Oh dear, a winged forgotten beast, I don't think it is on our level. It is named Agak and is a winged humanoid made of grime and filth. we'll keep an eye out I guess.
In other news, we have an artifact rope, it is not particularly special.
Agak appears to be content to hang out in the water on the lower cavern level.
Vieto and Slowpoke have finally calmed down. Thank goodness.
Vodrilius II is throwing a party in a dining room, but he is the only one attending, I will never understand the mindsets of those who have been here for a while.
Oh gee, the goblins are back again for the third season in a row, well let's hope they thin things out some more.
Sheesh, 95 of them including the local goblin "civilization's"Law Giver, I almost hope he gets turned into a horrible abomination.
HAHA! A WEREMOUSE!!
And it is Spring, I am going to hand this off to someone else now, I am stressed and annoyed by the job. I got a couple migrants in, a couple ghosts laid to rest, and we are good on food and drink, things could have gone worse.
So that was exciting-ish. I decided to try to focus on stabilizing the fort rather than building anything big up, though of course the stupid FB had other ideas. With judicious use of burrows and the various tunnels I have dug towards the map edges, we may be able to let some migrants and caravans in once in a while.
Interesting stuff: The zombies are really reluctant to attack, most migrants who get stuck outside end up starving to death, but the zombies do run for the doors when they are opened, so go figure.
Many or most of the zombies are in terrible shape from fighting each other for years, they are slow as hell and many of them only attack by pushing.
We have 3 caravan guards who battle eternally in the lower right hand corner of the map, they never die and never kill anything.
Trolls and cave crocodiles appear to love strangling, which isn't really helping at all.
The Weremouse got bitten apart by a zombie.
And I got a save for whoever is next http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=6045 (http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=6045)

Found inscribed on Vieto’s legendary Mechanism Artifact
Well, diaries suck. I think I’m just going to write down my life details on this mechanism I’m working on. Well, it’s complete, technically, but why not write more on it.
So I was running around the fort, because my wife and children are dead, and I was punching people in the guts, demanding to see the man in charge of this hell-hole, when I suddenly realised: no one was actually in charge. This gave me a brilliant idea: I ran into the dining hall and shouted: “I have decided that his place needs to get rid of those zombies, goblins, and death clouds one and for all! I will lead this fort, and ensure we are prosperous!” Everyone sighed from relief. I suspect this is because they think I am an inspirational figure, and not because they are happy that I haven’t killed anyone. I am a contented man now.
My first order of business, once I got a personal bed, was to begin organizing the fort for an operation of this scale. It turns out that we have 19 functional citizens, 13 children, and 11 pet animals (with no breeding pairs, mind you). We have 600 edible plants, 300 meals, and 300 units of booze. There are 118 things that want to kill us outside at this very moment (including in the caverns underground, where there is a beast). We are also effectively cut off from both Migrants and Caravans, which I do hope to see some day. In addition, we have almost no specialization: Everyone seems to be tasked with doing everything! I need to change this if we are going to get anything done in the near future. I’m going to spend a little time organizing people, and maybe figure out where everything is.

Well, diaries suck. I think I’m just going to write down my life details on this mechanism I’m working on. Well, it’s complete, technically, but why not write more on it.
So I was running around the fort, because my wife and children are dead, and I was punching people in the guts, demanding to see the man in charge of this hell-hole, when I suddenly realised: no one was actually in charge. This gave me a brilliant idea: I ran into the dining hall and shouted: “I have decided that his place needs to get rid of those zombies, goblins, and death clouds one and for all! I will lead this fort, and ensure we are prosperous!” Everyone sighed from relief. I suspect this is because they think I am an inspirational figure, and not because they are happy that I haven’t killed anyone. I am a contented man now.
My first order of business, once I got a personal bed, was to begin organizing the fort for an operation of this scale. It turns out that we have 19 functional citizens, 13 children, and 11 pet animals (with no breeding pairs, mind you). We have 600 edible plants, 300 meals, and 300 units of booze. There are 118 things that want to kill us outside at this very moment (including in the caverns underground, where there is a beast). We are also effectively cut off from both Migrants and Caravans, which I do hope to see some day. In addition, we have almost no specialization: Everyone seems to be tasked with doing everything! I need to change this if we are going to get anything done in the near future. I’m going to spend a little time organizing people, and maybe figure out where everything is.
Ursit McDepressed-Can't get any worse now can it...sigh
Urist McMentallyScarred-...sigh
Vieto-
Everyone sighed from relief. :D

Hey Slowpoke - I think Vieto should be welcomed to the Slowpoke Club :)It's a decent suggestion but unfortunatly we can't take in any more members at the moment since our business model has proven to be quite insufficient :(
Please help us keep our foundation alive, a small donation could make a world of difference.

So I noticed everyone was busy carving out memorials! We have more important things to do. I told some guys to be miners, and start carving out my office quarters. I told another “Hey, we need a Smith!” And he told me: “But we don’t have any anvils!”
What?
Looking at my stocks, apparently there is an iron anvil, and a steel anvil, and they are both outside… Somewhere. Damn, and I was hoping to make some weapons for the military, possibly out of steel, or even some more mining picks, in case we lose some. Also, it may be because I’ve been cooped up in my workshop, punching people in the livers and such, but this place is impossible to navigate! Once I figure out how to make this whole operation more efficient, I’m removing the fishing industry! Well, part of it (Slowpoke may do as he pleases, he’s killed 2 already, I’m told).
I’ve finally stumbled upon the workshop district, 10 days in. Surprising, really, since I had been working their previously. I’ve heard 3 of the entities fighting outside are dead. That leaves… 115! I took a peak, and one of the invaders is a Troll, who is a surgeon… I’ve just designated a spot to be mined out for our future hospital!
So the only miner who has bothered to pick up a pick is beginning to make progress on the magma pump column, but I’m probably going to move him elsewhere, as he is needed in a lot of places right now.
Took a peak outside today, and the goblin siege has broken up. That just leaves… The zombies. Yep, going to be fun. I’ve taken to updating the stockpile records; maybe I can find the location of the anvils, and perhaps send someone to get them… With escort, of course. Wait a second, if I make an entrance with a siege catapult… I’ve ordered a siege workshop built!
...
And now the smoke cloud appears... those goblins know something that we don;t...

I was engraving slabs to deal with ghosts, fps was terrible for the last season of my turn and I think some of the ghosts are from vampires as their names aren't showing up on the engraving list, hence the mass engraving, so far no murdering ghosts though, only fever inflicting and battering. So hey if you like them then go nuts.
I think we only have one pick, when I ended the game you had it.

Hahaha, ohgod it's my turn soon.
I don't want to be "that guy" who kills the fort.
The most important thing is that You try to get Migrants in.
Its the Zombies and Goblins that pose the huge threat to Us, but last I checked, We NEED Migrants. Plenty. Or We will simply stagnate, for Years.
I suggest putting Your thinking monocle on now, rather than later, so when its Your turn, You stand a chance :)
Post by: Vieto on April 07, 2012, 04:33:21 pm
Slate: I sent our miner to start creating a new holding chamber for migrants, in order to prevent a massive group of dwarves from running outside. I would rather have this up before letting any migrants in, in order to ensure no more tantrum spirals. In the holding area, I also plan on moving the trade depot.
While I was adding the finishing touches on to the bridges, our doctor went into a fey mood. In addition, another beast appeared in the caverns. I hope it can't fly over those walls... Best keep an eye on it. But more importantly, Doctor Tolins needs some hides... well, its too bad I don't have any breeding pairs of anything...

Post by: Vieto on April 07, 2012, 11:11:14 pm
Well, the steam beast fought our pet raven, and then promptly died in an explosion of steam.
The next order of business: The most critical part of operation Holding_Chamber is complete. The dwarf assigned to mine the entrance didn't run away, and is digging out the location of a new Trading Depot. Once the chamber is clear, we will let the immigrants in, who are no doubt starving or being chased by zombies by now. I hope some make it into the chamber before the cloud makes it to them...
And as for Tolins... I'm afraid we are short on animal hides at the moment. I'm going to station a guard outside his room...
While waiting for the worst from Tolins, I peaked outside the fort: The elf caravan had arrived. Unfortunately, one of the zombies snuck into the secret entrance. It appears all the immigrants had died. Unfortunate, but the zombie will have to be dealt with at some point. In the mean time, I'm doing some last-minute prep work to let the caravan in.
Also, one of my Axedwarves, Urist, was found dead. Maybe I should build some more coffins, and slabs...
------------------------
Unfortunately, the game is moving rather slow for me, but I will finish! Seriously, there needs to be some lava flooding the surface. Once I get some internal infrastructure going, I'm going to begin my magma plumbing! Maybe.
But yeah, technically anything that can fly can get into the fort.

Some of them are bunched up onto single tiles, some of them wander off the map, and most of them just swarm You. And most of them are fearless, but the fearless ones only come out to play when they get into groups. Alone, the Zombies run easy. Together? Youre dead.
Just dont make the same mistake I did, and think You could fend them off for the 20 seconds itd take to build a hatch cover. It doesnt work.
Just thought Id get that out there :)
As for flying things, really, We could prevent that, but for what. We cant just bottle ourselves up completely at this stage, any more than we already have. Youre focusing on all the right things, Vieto. Keep it up! :)

Also slowpoke II is dead, I swear it wasn't revenge, so I have a sign of good faith in the works.
The reason I took the huge risk of trying to make that new Entrance was that We *NEED* more Dwarves. We just need more, or We will perish. It wont be Your fault if the virus that is underpopulation kills Us. But there are only two solutions. Either a Good Entrance, or a Good Lava Funnel.
I've been commentating my turn to a few friends in teamspeak.

Post by: Twangykid on April 11, 2012, 06:47:49 am
Hahahaha what the bloody fuck.
Our overseer, this "Vieto", gave up on leading us. Couldn't even handle one year, but next time I'm in a council meeting, I shouldn't make fun of someone for that. You get "Fine, you do better!" then thrown into the overseer spot.
So, me, a poor old Bowyer gets to fix this shit up. Or die trying.
Probably die.
My first order is, seeing as how we have an incredibly skilled stone crafter, to engrave more slabs for the fallen.
I also decided we need immigrants. So I am stationing to military so we can temporarily deconstruct a wall to replace it with a bridge we can open for immigrants. Otherwise, not much happened.
SUMMER
I kicked Vieto out of the military. Sorry bro, but we need our legendary mechanic. I also got the military to start training at one of the entrances.
(http://i.imgur.com/qPVa6.jpg)
well, we got plenty of food.
(http://i.imgur.com/LjY0o.jpg)
I hired some more people who aren't doing any work to be masons, including myself. Hey, overseers gotta make a livin'!
Hahaha, looks like trolls troll THEIR overseers too!
(http://i.imgur.com/0LmDf.jpg)
I started our legendary clothier on making cloaks and sowing images in them. Might as well make a profit if a caravan DOES get in. Some day.
Dug out a random room to train our only miner lol.
OHHOHOHOOH
(http://i.imgur.com/n3NZb.jpg)
OH FUCK
Like 10 zombies got in while i was letting immigrants in, and noone would shut the gate. Luckily, a fish dissector, who was locked out for a long time, started tantruming, and charging the zombies! AND THEY RAN.
Okay, they turned around and one-shot him. But it distracted them while I locked the staircase. Or, i would of, if the furniture stockpile weren't down near the magma level. And the soap maker who built the door wasn't slow as fuck.
Welp.
(http://i.imgur.com/ixXUV.jpg)
Xczx-whatever is holding the line while the dwarves repeatedly suspend the construction of the door that will save the fort.
WORST. BESERK. EVER.
(http://i.imgur.com/OQctW.jpg)
:( I'm sorry.
(http://i.imgur.com/0Vz0d.jpg)
WELP, I BUILT THE DOOR. BUT OUR ONLY PICK IS IN THE HANDS OF A ZOMBIE. Fuck I'm bad at this. Also no children were harmed during this. So it's now 36 dwarves and 15 children.
FUCK.
THE.
CHILDREN.
NVM found another pick.
Oh shit another zombie got in some-the-fuck-how.
nvm locked him in a room lol
(http://i.imgur.com/xZqX4.jpg)
I took on role as miner, as ours was killed in the last scuffle.
Vieto took over as mayor and banned the selling of bolts. Not sure why, never been any trade caravans but oh well.

The fact that I've never played an evil biome or a succession fort have caught up with me.
Not exactly.
1: Losing the Picks wasnt You. That was Us, and You got smacked in the face with it.
2: You made one error, and one only: Not sealing the bridge immediately after 1-3 Migrants got in, by setting it to be closed in advance. Notice the Cage Traps near the entrance I made? Were it not for those, Wed be dead.
Also, one thing: Zombies can break down doors.

Our brewer got all secretive. Oh wait, he's one of the immigrants locked between us and zombies. Well Mr Secretive, have fun with your mood. And even If I COULD let him in, he wants a forge. Something we don't have. Hopefully he goes beserk and takes a few gobbos with him.
Welp, never mind, looks like he wont have a chance to.

They're going around him? Maybe they didn't notice him. Because he's so secretive. EH? EH? ah fuck you.
Perhaps being moody, whiny bitches is zombie repellant. QUICK CALL THE EMO BRIGADE.
It's been a week and that brewer hasn't been attacked yet. He might be on to something but will die before we could ask.

It's now Autumn, and I've decided I will begin training my marksdwarfship. Just in case. I'm going to set up a caged zombie (we got a few in the stockpile) behind a fortification and shoot it with wooden bolts I'll have someone make.

f = floor

and reverse the design going up.
So long as the block and gears are magma-safe, and the pipes/screws are not wooden, the stack should be fine (unless magma gets on the small x)

Using a raising bridge and a retractable bridge over a downward slope, I have set it so that one lever opens the outer entrance, while sealing the inner entrance, which covers a channel, meaning instead of a downward slope, it becomes a floor.
This means that when we open the outer bridge to let the caravan/immigrants in, they enter into a sealable area. Seeing as how it's winter now though, we won't be seeing any caravans this year, and I plan on ditching the job to someone else by the end.

In the mean time, I'd like a bowyer (Skilled, or otherwise). There is wood and bone, right? If so, I'd like to make a LOT of crossbows, and then tell everyone to use them.
Yeah, You can have a turn.
One thing but: Giving everyone Crossbows = We'd all be fucking dead. I can guarantee that.
This aint Your average game.

Draw a Dwarf with a Crossbow skipping out into the Zombie Legion saying something about how awesome He is with His Crossbow and Bolts.
In the background, have 3 Zombies sneaking inside the Fort from the big wide open Entrance, and about 50 Zombies charging at Him from the front, roaring like psychotic lunatics.
At the bottom, have just in text, "Fighting Zombies with a Crossbow. This is totally how We can Win this particular Conflict. Have Fun With That Ya Dolt!"
GET TO IT!

Post by: Chilton on April 26, 2012, 10:00:28 am
But crossbows are a good idea! With all the poor civilians always starving outside, at least they could have a fish bone bolt's chance!Ok.
...also, shooting towers.
1: We would be making them inside, then *opening the entrance to get them outside*. I opened a single tiny opening, and almost everyone was killed. And We had a highly trained army.
2: Shooting Towers would not only involve going outside, but getting almost everyone outside, because there is an EXTREMELY small number of us, then not getting massacred whilst We build a bloody tower. You realise that Brewster was a nigh overpowered soldier, and He was killed by *ONE OF THE ENEMIES. ONE. LONE. ENEMY. And He killed none of them. He wounded a couple, but thats it. Our Entire Military wound up pinned down on a beach fighting off horde after horde of the things, and I think they killed 1 of the enemy for every 8 of them. Oh, and there was 8 of them.
3: You dont seem to realise that there are literally several dozen of those things out there, and they violently swarm You the splitsecond They are capable. Possibly over a hundred.
4: If They got inside, They can break down doors. They would massacre us.
5: They are extremely impervious to damage.
6: Even if somehow We gave our puny starving depressed dehydrating population Crossbows with Bolts, and assuming We threw them all outside as a Militia, lets say, after rigorous Training (Because somehow Wed be able to rigorously Train without being slaughtered by the multiple Forgotten Beasts downstairs, and the stuff thats killing us off without even needing to be a sentient lifeform, and the People going Berserk, We would then mine open a hole. We started with multiple Pickaxes. We are now lucky to have 1. And for a time, We didnt even have that. Its sheer luck Weve got it back. And those things, as soon as You open ANY Entrance, They begin a wave assault of it. Most of us died in the doorway to the outside within mere seconds, because there was just so damn many of them.
7: Morale and Injuries. Most of us have Poor Morale, and are already Injured on some level.
8: Lets say We got outside, and held them off. There are very regular Smoke Clouds.
8.1: Smoke Clouds would make our highly trained Crossbowmen OUR ENEMY.
8.2: If a Smoke Cloud got inside, We would die very swiftly.
9: We have already attempted far better ideas, and it just got people killed. Every one of us has tried.
Any other wise ideas? :P
Also, Theyre not so much starving outside, so much as being chased around and killed on a pretty much 24/7 basis.
EDIT: Note all the Dead Trade Caravans. THEY all had Armoured Archers and Warriors. Theyre dead now. Some of them torn apart. Some of them are in the enemy ranks.

Those children are a valuable resource, they are the only source of new workers, also they provide handy targets for when Vieto tantrums, better he beats up a kid instead of one of the productive members of the fort.

I actually managed to let a few people in without dying horribly, mostly due to abusing the fact that these zombies don't particularly care to break doors down, even the trolls, my deaths were due to the FB and the tantrum spiral that resulted.Well, who is the bigger threat here Vieto or the zombies? I'm leaning towards the zombies but you can never be sure with that bastard.

Secondly, I totally think I'm thinking out of the box! Are there any walls outside? Put marksdwarves on them! Are there no walls outside? Replace some walls with fortifications!
Nobody has to go outside. I know how deadly this beach is. But fortifications remove that issue to an extent, and you can work outwards!
Or even better - create a moat from underground (ramp up, remove ramp, repeat) and then build a tower in the middle of that moat.
EDIT: For safety's sake, suspend that tower on 4x supports, attached to a lever. If they get zombified by a cloud, destroy it!
See? Pincushion zombies!
EDIT: I like the child bait idea! To add to deadliness, make the walls of the corridor into fortifications, and put volunteers with crossbows behind them. Traps can only kill so many before they jam!]

As a thought - using the above method (ramp, remove ramp) would we not be able to dig a hole under the anvils outside?Great idea, actually, as long as you dig an empty space around the ramp to be carved _before_ it's carved (to prevent any of our husky friends from climbing down).

That would be really hard, if not impossible - you can only create ramps up, not empty spaces. Instead, you'd want to have a square room with double doors leading into it, create a burrow and put the miner into it, lock the doors, and do one ramp at a time.

Im sure the multiple Forgotten Beasts wouldnt mind the construction project. And I think what You meant to say, is that Hed force everyone to essentially kill themself by having a Crossbow.

But i noticed 2 things that i should repeat for the benefit of people who still seem to think zombies can't break down doors.
1) Trolls break down doors, you have trolls outside and ZOMBIE trolls, who can do the same.
2) All those zombie dwarves outside? They can just open your doors and stroll right through em, unless forbidden, i used this behaviour to lure them into the atom smasher (not terribly successfully actually, i got tired and smashed half the kids i was using as bait also.
I'll assume they're trap avoid too, like reWild formerly Trained animals.
3) While lots of fun menacing wooden spikes are useless against undead(or undead dwarves at least) , I'm sure the level puller enjoyed spearing The zombie tanner for over a month, and removing all his teeth/limbs/breaking every last piece of his body, But either a killshot isn't possible or he just reanimates again too fast for me to notice.

K, so what we'll do...
The miner goes on the right side of the bridge, we wall him in, he digs it, then goes to the other side, where the bridge is sealed.
Everythings ready to go..

Also, to the next guy, make sure you lock the door on the same floor as the trade depot while you seal it back up.
To let immigrants in, put them in the burrow "Immigrants" then pull the lever, which opens the outer gate and closes the inner.
Then, when its open put them in "Immigrants part 2" before pulling the lever again and unlocking the door.
Fuck off.

Aaaand half of them charge for that poor bunny.

Holy shit thats a harpy.
Fuck me, I build a tunnel for immigrants and traders and NOW NONE OF THEM WILL GET HERE BECAUSE ALMOST 100 GOBLINS. HALF OF WHICH ARE BOWGOBLINS.
Sucks to be you, Felcis.
Heh, because of low FPS i can see arrows flying around really slow, so the battles look cool.

Post by: CognitiveDissonance on April 27, 2012, 01:37:20 pm
Did some testing in adventure mode for fighting against zombies. I found you should NOT use sharp weapons due to the parts flying off becoming zombies themselves. My character is a lasher/hammerer. The hammer did a bit better for killing. Arrows are absolutely useless (sorry). This was tested against a mummy in a tomb.

Really? That sucks... My Fortress experience differs, though - I had an area tormented by a Necromancer, and the various undead dwarves/beasts/goblins died swiftly to my wooden-crossbow-wooden-bolts brigade of 3. I only lost when the necromancer made it to my Fishery and reanimated SO MANY MUSSEL SHELLS that my dwarves were overwhelmed. Mussel shells couldnt hurt anyone, but they absorbed the damage.
EDIT: But it sounds like I may have to rethink my future career :P Maybe a Hammerdwarf or an Armorsmith...

Then, I put a stairway at the very end of this hallway, got just up to the surface, then I burrowed four miners right by the thin floor still seperating the hallway from said surface. I told them to mine out downward steps, unburrowed them, reburrowed them far inside the fort, then set the lever to repeat. I helped the miners make their escape by building a bunch of fortifications behind the upward stairs at the end of the hallway, then plopped my marksdwarf squad behind it. They cut down the initial wave of zombies in time for my miners to make it to safety. The only dwarf I lost was a random dwarf baby who got clawed by a giant bat 50 levels below.
Post by: Chilton on May 01, 2012, 07:16:54 pm
So, I just curbed an 80+ zombie siege in my fort with a giant bridge deathtrap hallway... I made a hallway 40+ tiles long, put four bridges in it, connected them all to a single lever.
Then, I put a stairway at the very end of this hallway, got just up to the surface, then I burrowed four miners right by the thin floor still seperating the hallway from said surface. I told them to mine out downward steps, unburrowed them, reburrowed them far inside the fort, then set the lever to repeat. I helped the miners make their escape by building a bunch of fortifications behind the upward stairs at the end of the hallway, then plopped my marksdwarf squad behind it. They cut down the initial wave of zombies in time for my miners to make it to safety. The only dwarf I lost was a random dwarf baby who got clawed by a giant bat 50 levels below.
One thing: I made one tiny hole, and if I didnt have a trapped up hallway Wed be into Markedangels: Reclaimed. I.e., Ive already tried something very similar, but with Cage Traps. Lots of them. They swarmed the hallway in seconds.
Its a good idea, though. It could be adapted to work. Just consider that almost everywere on the surface has a horde, and some of them are moving. And I think We have more than 80 problems up there. Burrows were ineffective for some reason.
Additionally, Were all a bunch of depressed, some of us borderline enraged, survivalists. Many of us are injured or maimed already. And We only have x1 Pick.
Itd need to be tweaked, quite a bit, but again, not a bad idea.
Im thinking that Wed need two Hallways, a Suicide Dwarf, and another Pickaxe, before We even considered this.
We lost all our other Pickaxes the first time We dared open one tiny 1 pixel hole, in an empty bit of land free of zombies. The Door was sealed from a smoke cloud rougly 2 minutes later, after everyone blundered outside, despite most of us being burrowed. Most of us proceeded to die, either from Zombies or Berserkers.
Besides - Bathing the World in Magma is vastly more awesome, and suitable, since someones already proposed it ages ago :P
And theres Goblins.
EDIT: Optimally, just read this, for effect:
Armok save me, what the hell is this. I've followed your journals, but seeing this mess myself now...I really fear pressing SPACE now... ;___;

Travel log of the wandering stone-artisan Felcis Lularasen, some time in Granite 256
We have been 4 months at sea so far and no lands in sight. The ship does not really make the most reassuring impression on me, but what would you expect for such a suicide mission? No solid warship with a royal escort that's for sure.Still, we must not give up hope. Land must be near, according to our maps and our mechanic Dalex swears that the crude steam powered engine will hold long enough for us to reach our destination. Many of us mutter about the rumors of that so-called deathtrap "Markedangels", but I will have none of it. A dwarven fortress without a few sacrifices is without glory and by now they will have managed to secure the area with dwarven steel and ingenuity.
And even if there is still room for improvement: How bad can it possibly be?
Meanwhile at Markedangels...

Hords of ghosts haunt the reeking hallways, angered by the lack of respect for their legacy. The artisans can only slowly appease them with memorials.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%202.png)
Still hope remains: The sieging goblins, tired from beating an invincible bunny-zombie, give up and leave for more juicy (and less cursed) targets. Most like they didn't want to get zombified themselves...

Travel log of the wandering stone-artisan Felcis Lularasen, 2nd Slate 256
Huzzah, land is in sight. We were already closer than we thought, but some weird fog masked it's coast. Be it as it may, the fog cleared and the course is obvious. Soon we will reach the legendary Bagsnubslozgo Kusnath and be safe behind mighty halls carved by skilled dwarven craftmanship. But I hear Dalex shouting something. My next journal will most likely be written on a table inside a mighty fort...
Meanwhile back at Markedangels...
The ghosts still go rampant and once again claimed one of the few survivor's.

That terrible event did wonders to motivate the masons and engravers though, as they managed to finish a lot of memorials in record speed. A few of the worst tormented souls have been put to rest.

More raise in their places though. This place has no shortage of anguished spirits...
Just as dwarves have no shortage of recklessness and curiosity it seems.

Travel log of the wandering stone-artisan Felcis Lularasen, 21th Slate 256
Damn Dalex and his cursed engine! We almost reached the coast when that thing catched fire out of nowhere. It only took mere minutes for it to explode and tear the entire ship apart. At least most of us were able to reach the coast, but now we are scattered and need to make the rest of the way by foot, without any provisions. I can just hope that we at least get a warm welcome when we are there. Well, not time to curse or write, we have to leg it before Armoks knows what gets us...Meanwhile back at Markedangels...
The mechanism of the former overseer Twangykid seems to be working. 1 presser, a child and an alpaca managed to get inside. The latter gained so much traumatic experience by crossing the haunted landscape that it instantly matured.

More migrants arrive on the scene and still wait outside though and there is also another guest that has arrived...

Travel log of the wandering stone-artisan Felcis Lularasen, 14th Felsite 256
We made it inside! Just me, Dalex and a few others. Many more are still wandering around on the cursed earth outside. They came late, because we were scattered after the shipwreck and could not risk wait for anyone struggling behind us. And damn, was that a good decision after all what we saw happening outside.(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2011.png)
As scary as that creature was, I am glad that it appeared. Who knows if those trolls would have let us pass if they still had all their organs and bones intact. After killing most of the trolls it transformed back into a goblin and ran away.
Not sure if we should feel much safer inside here though. On top of the general depression of the inhabitants, our new home does have some serious problems of the supernatural kind.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2012.png)
Even long-time veterans in the middle of the main hall are not safe it seems.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2013.png)
With such a fearsome enviroment, it is no wonder that the population prefers to have large orgies in a shared bed, to comfort each other.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2015.png)
Also the lack of manpower seems to be so severe that a one legged clothier is forced to travel through the entire fortress to pull the all-important migrant-lever, that also opened the gate for us. I just hope that the rest of our comrades will make it inside as well. I for one still miss my trusty puppy...
Journal of the new overseer and stone-artisan Felcis Lularasen, 29th Felsite 256
Much and more has changed in the two weeks since my arrival. Our leadership and my position for starters. But I will start where my last journal left of.We managed to get a few more survivors inside the fort after us, with Vieto crushing a cursed pursuer with our gate mechanism.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2016.png)
Those were the last signs of life that we saw from the outside world, though. There were reports of a large gobling army that most likely laid siege upon this whole area shortly afterwards.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2017.png)
I fear that both my dear puppy and all the other migrants (should have been around 10survivors left) got massacred.
Since the situation looked more and more hopeless with the nonexisting leadership, I stepped up to the task. My recent knowledge of the surface might prove useful in solving a few of our more urgent problems.
Also on another positive note, a child managed to survive long enough to cross what most dwarves call "the border to usefulness" and become a real member of society, potentially worthy of respect.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2018.png)
Most importantly though,the captain of the guard, who is also the chief miner, and I were able to secure a tool that our fortress was sorely lacking.

This is my first time posting from work (on my lunch break).
Worth the risk for such an epic fort.
Were-beast killing Troll Animal Dissectors, then goblin reverting.
Goblins and rabbits in 100 years war.

Also: Why did you let the animal in?! When you butcher them they zombify D: (The skin and stuf anyway)Does our area zombify normally without the smoke? I've only seen those smoke-zombies, never any "normal" ones. And believe me, we got enough body parts and corpses lying around everywhere. x_x
And yep, I've already put the anvil to use. A shame we only got access to copper and silver so far, but at least we got no shortage of picks and axes anymore.
Just finished a pretty uneventful summer. Might try to get a new journal up tomorrow, but maybe I will also finish autumn first.
Edit: There just was a pretty big migrant wave and I got most of them inside. There are 11dwarves in safety and two who are stuck with a cowardly zombie in a room (I am trying to get them inside on an alternative way). So if anyone wants to get dorfed: Now is the time. I will wait till the end of autumn with my next journal.

Journal of the overseer and stone-artisan Felcis Lularasen, 14th Hematite 256
The Summer has been very peaceful, if you ignore the constant noise of the goblins punching a bunny on the surface. I will try to use the time to transform this artless hole into something remotely resembling a civilized place, starting with living rooms and some cultural trinkets.The mayor, a calm dwarf called Vieto, is supposedly a pretty respected figure around here, since he is one of the founding members of this hellhole. That would explain why he gets so much attention from ghostly fans.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2020.png)
Earning his trust might be crucial to securing my position here. I will take care of his stalker and also try to organize an adequate room for someone of his position.
Meanwhile Twangykid le third, supposedly the leader of our so called "militia", is lying still wounded and starving on a hospital table. It seems that he was forgotten there and no one wants to feed someone not in a bed. It is a disgrace for our society that nobody here can find the time to just give a wounded fellow dwarf some plump helmet to nibble.
Now excuse me, I have to continue making stone trinkets.
17th Malachite 256
Never mind Twangykid, someone brought him food and water a few days later. The sudden kindness lifted his spirits and he now seems to be whole and healthy again. He just got out of bed and started fletching some traning ammunition from our spare bones.Also more bonding beyond the verge of death.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2021.png)

26th Malachite 256
Remember those goblins? They supposedly achieved some pretty impressve skills while beating a helpless bunny for weeks. All of them achieved the "Elite"-Rank of their caste. That did not protect them from the dark powers of this place though.(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2025.png)
A big part of the entire siege-force got instantly turned into horrifying creatures, moaning in pain. After a short time of confusion they wandered of, most likely for the lack of a visible foe to gnaw on. The rest of the army that was still uncursed shat their weasel leather pants and ran away as well. The siege was broken and more migrants can come to this place. Huzzah...
28th Galena 256
Rooms got carved out, stone got mined, wood got chopped. And most importantly, more ghosts got busted (or "calmed down", if you want to be elvish). It is almost too quiet now without their antics. There is still that one Ghostly Hammer Lord called Edem Ezumdeleth, who I guess is just too powerful to banish. Even after several memorials, he still stubbornly haunts our halls.And that is it for summer.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2026.png)
21th Limestone 256
Everything runs smoothly so far. More and more living rooms get finished and I managed to create some truly fabulous pieces of dwarven culture myself.Noises from the outside indicate that one of the mysterious protectors engaged superior numbers in battle but is still holding on. He most likely even fights with that horrible Wrestler-zombie that haunts this site.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2027.png)
The other one is still living as well, constantly poking zombies with his pointy stick.
28th Limestone 256
Some dwarf called Cain III. got it into his head that heavy weaponry will be the key to solve all our problems and built an impressive catapult in an empty room to work on his aim. I am sure the cursed smoke will be sooo~ scared when we throw rocks at it...(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2028.png)
Nevertheless he seems to be pretty good at what he is doing and it might come in handy later. It's not like we have a lot of other important industries at the moment.
12th Sandstone 256
Good News! We had a huge migrant-wave arriving the last days. 13 dwarves in total.(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2029.png)
Since most of the zombies seem more fearsome than actually agressive, I opted for a simpler strategy this time. I just opened the way on the entrance that we used to get the anvil. I hoped that the zombies would stay outside while migrants would run for their lives to reach our fortress.
And I was right! The dwarven convoy moved swiftly to the stairs. The zombies were just as scared by the living dwarves as the other way around, so the superior numbers were able to drive them away. Even the one zombie that managed to get into the underground corridor was just run over by most of the dwarves and animals alike. It all went by perfectly...until two reckless idiots decided to pick up a fight with the zombie and provoke it. One Fisherdwarf got his leg ripped open and he and a tanner are now trapped between 2 insecure zombies. They might not be worth the effort, but I will try to get them inside on an alternative way.
But first the smart migrants have to be put to work...
19th Sandstone 256
Nevermind that, the zombies got too annoyed by the whining...(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2030.png)
Both dwarves and a keet got killed and supposedly eaten. At least the lamb that was still outside was smart enough to run away and into safety. Remember: being dumber than a lamb quickly serves you death in places like this.
Now we still got annoying zombies blocking the corridor. I hope that they will get bored and just leave when we keep it blocked of. Another cloud of smoke drifts by in the meantime.
Meanwhile our armed forces get reinforced by new recruits. Twangykid switches from militia commander to the captain of the guard and gets help from a new marksdwarf called CognitiveDissonance. A hammerdwarf with the strange name of MarcAFK will be our one-man army for now.
26th Sandstone 256
As I expected, the zombies got bored from the bland corridor and went back up to breath the fresh, haunted air. I block of the way to the surface again and work on some plans for a defensive project in that area. It will take quite a lot of work and might be unchivalrous in some eyes, but playing fair is no option in this kind of world.13th Timber 256
Our new captain of the guard Twangykid had some inspirational thoughts while making bolts and quickly claimed the bowyers workshop!(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2031.png)
And if that's not enough, a dwarven caravan arrived on the very same day with an escort and liason.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2032.png)
I opened the merchant's entrance and waited for them to come in. The wagons just ignored the lumbering undead in the countrysite and continued on their way, but the merchants on foot were scared away and couldn't move forward. Meanwhile the guards, instead of acting like proper escorts, all joined the spearmaster and clustered around the first zombie they saw.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2033.png)
Good thing those dangerous zombies don't seem to care much for merchants on wagons...
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2034.png)
I ordered to build an alternative way to the trade depot from the inside, so we can reach it more easily with the trade goods. Then we closed the door, since waiting for the other traders seemed pointless.
29th Timber 256
Our way to the merchants was finished and we are still carrying trade goods to the depot. My crafts will make the speechless, I am sure.Unfortunately we had to kill a valued member of our society to satisfy Twangy's need for bones: A mule. Hopefully his project will come to an end soon. His constant shouting for materials is getting on everybodies nerves.
More alarming tidings came from our main area in the caves. That weird beast is sitting there, right next to our walls. Everybody told me to calm down since we have solid walls, but I am not convinced. It's body might not be impressive, but at least it has WINGS.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2035.png)
Let us pray that it won't learn to use those. Not much else we can do about it on a short-term.
And that should be it for autumn.

Three seasons down, one to go. The FPS improved slightly, but Winter might be more eventful again, from what I've seen so far. I hope everyone is satisfied with the dorfing choices so far. There is still room for more.
I already played a month of winter and hope that I can finish my turn tomorrow or Monday.
@Hammerdorfs: slowpokez nailed my thoughts on that. xD
Cutting weapons might be effective against the zombies (since their body parts most likely don't revive) but both piercing and blunt are almost completely useless. We might still need soldiers in general against goblins and threats in caverns, though.

Also make sure there isn't piles of corpse pieces lieing around the fort, since everything seems to be going smoothly ATM i'm imagining the RNG gods might send us a sneaky necromancerin in the near future.
I think 30+ Militia killed all of 4 or 5 in the past.

This is just a guess but im guessing what's happening is that a zombie dies and then is revived again? Thats why they're nearly unkillable?I think THAT only happens with the normal zombies that get revived by necromancers or certain evil biomes. The Smoke-Zombies are more comparable to the zombies and bronze colossi from early 0.31versions in that they just won't...fucking...die, even if you chop all their arms and legs of and beat them to a pulp. You might need to score a lucky hit on a crucial part with a cutting-weapon to really kill them.

Reading all this makes me think - maybe it's time for mass zombie incarceration project? We can build our insane asylum of caged zombies deep underground, where they will beused as a weaponsacrificed to magma godsused to train the copper-clad marksdwarvesforgotten
Right - Shut out anything with the word "Crossbow" in it, well pretend that never happened, and just keep it with the Asylum part, and We might keep Your Corpse :)

(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2041.png)
Well, I plainly reminded them who controls the drawbridges and doors in this place and left them to ponder on their decision. Maybe they will come to sense one day or we have to find a different solution.
On positive news, our miners were able to dig a good way to the adamantine.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139062/DF%20Succession%20Game%20Markedangels/Markedangels%20Screen%2040.png)
We will carefully begin to extract some of it. Maybe Twangy will finally begin his work when seeing those marvelous materials.

We expanded the southern entrance and installed 5 long bridges at one side that can crush everything that enters that corridor with one simple pull of a lever. Zombies or other foes can be lured in and then trapped with doors or bridges, before finally pulverizing them. No matter how invincible those cursed creatures might be: Nothing can survive a bridge dropped on it.
Only thing that confuses me, is that one bridge seems to be invisible when pulled up. Well, I am not the expert on mechanics, so what do I know? I am hopeful that it will work out just perfectly.
30th Obsidian 256:
The last month of my reign was going by very calmly. We managed to mostly finish the special rooms for our mayor, the captain of guard and myself of course. We also managed to extract quite some of those mysterious glowing stones and refine them into metal bars, that might be useful for armor and weaponry. That is for my successor to decide, since I will lay down my office and concentrate on creating artful trinkets again, as was my destiny all along. I hope that the surroundings now suit my needs a bit better than when I arrived.Here are the latest accounts from our bookkeeper:

Our supplies are quite good, but our workforce still leaves room for improvement as does our metal industry. Maybe someone can find some tin in the granite layers, so we can at least create bronze.
For everyones sake, I wish the next leader of this place the best of luck.

Okay, I finished my turn. Our position should be a bit more comfortable and secure right now, but we are still pretty much defenseless against everything that somehow gets inside our fort.
To my shame I didn't really create any awesome superprojects, but I kinda wanted to concentrate on survival and infrastructure. I'm sure you guys will have enough awesome ideas for your turns. :P

the next player should set that up, a merchant killing room of one sort or another. Or corridor.
This is a copper upright spear trap. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. On it is an image of outpost liason in blood. The liason is on fire.

"Sorry Urist McSurvivor, we haven't seen our buddy in months. We are out of here."

How good is bone armor? I was under the impression it's fairly useless, but Wiki says it has a 3x deflection modifier for being an artifact (is it an artifact?)

I was under the impression it's fairly useless, but Wiki says it has a 3x deflection modifier for being an artifact (is it an artifact?)It's just a -large rat bone helmet- though. And bones/shell should be about the same strength as leather, so I would not really rely on it against metal. Masterful leather-/bone-armor might be pretty good against blunt attacks from zombies though.

Lets have a look at this Flourishing Community.
...Question.
Why is the Ocean full of Arrows?
Ill try the Bridges as soon as theres a Migration Wave.
Great. Were only about 200% more surrounded than last time.
Hey - Everyone. I cant help but see all the miserably failed attempts to build and Entrance, and the blood and corpses near them. Nice job.
I told You so.
Hopefully this Bridge thing doesnt bloody kill Us.
Because if it does, its on Felcis :P
I see We have a ton of Bolts.
Heh.
Oh, and by the way.
Cognitive Dissonance? I wasnt kidding about collapsing a Tower on Your Head. Felcis didnt do it, I have it on My Schedule. Just so You know, You Crossbow obsessed... Thing.
You should have stuck with the Asylum idea. Thats actually good.
So Felcis - You DID notice the Caged Zombie Dwarfes Weve got, right?
RIGHT?
Right.
I love how noones using the Throne Hall.
Cain is in a tiny room. Staring at a wall.
He has been for... Days. It seems. Hes sleeping even.

Why is there a Catapult facing a wall in an otherwise empty room.
Why is there a small hole in front of the Catapult.
Im gonna do some explorative Mining, to start out.
Yo CG - Im making a Project. With it, Your survival will be left to random fate. Yay!
In all seriousness, Ill be using You to test it. Your chances of survival are 80%.
Seems I was wrong - You did know Weve got Zombie Captives.

I just realised. We cant trade with the Traders. We need goods. Their caravan is there. Must. Resist. Urge. To Slaughter.
If They werent better equipped than We, Id totally cut them down. But it isnt worth the risk.
...Right?
Who. The fuck. Am I kidding. What else did You appoint Me Mayor for?!

LETS DO THIS!
Mm. Twangykid died fighting in My name.
Yo - MarcAFK - Youre killing those motherfuckers left and right. KEEP IT UP!
...OUTSTANDING! You just single handedly (Aside from the now dead Twangykid, who was stupid enough to come in with a Crossbow. You came in with a Silver Hammer, like an actual Warrior) killed them all.
(FYI, Im not kidding. Twangykid tried to use a Crossbow. He died after one shot was fired, from a sword to the head.)
...THIS IS OUR CARAVAN NOW.
You know, none of the other Militias even came.
Thats a great bloody sign. You useless gits :P
Lets have a round for MarkAFK!

MarkAFK is awesome, and a bit... He just rushed Felcis the Preserver of Culture for a second, then decided to go back to... Standing around doing nothing in a Store Room?

Mark is dead, killed by Oddom Kodoroslan, a recruit.
Someone please explain what Im obviously missing here.
Oddom is a dead man walking.
Oh, fun fact: Its still early fucking Spring.
Remind Me why... Never mind.
Well MarkAFK, Ill be making a Slab, I guess.
How are there Acorn flies in here?
...On second thoughts, Id rather not think about it.
Who disassembled My room?
Whatever. Nevermind.
Brokers throwing a Tantrum. What else is news.
Were half way through one month. Whee.
I need a break.
Mostly to plan how to get back at CG for causing the death of MarkAFK.

Post by: Chilton on May 09, 2012, 10:27:34 pm
You may have screwed the Fortress over there. Last I heard (0.31), if you order a military individual to attack a Dwarven caravan, they become an Enemy. Which means they are aggressive to all other dwarves. But when they attack him, they become Enemies themselves. A death spiral ensues, punctuated with tantrums. If this is the case, I suggest you savescum :PIts probably a good thing then, that only Twangykid and MarkAFK did the deed. I havent screwed anyone - Or, at least noone thats still alive :D
...besides, I totally was giving up dreams of A Crossbow For Each Dwarf in favour of a zombie asylum :( I want to liiiiive!
I am not savescumming, and I wouldnt even if that did happen.
Lemme put this here:
Under No Circumstances Are We Cheating. Read The OP, I Made It Pretty Clear.
Cheating is not permitted.
And the only Tantrum was a hungry Broker, days later.
Now that thats done, I was going to spare You for clearing that up, then You suggested I savescum. Now Im undecided on the matter, and will see what You do in the Game, to decide if You live or die.
EDIT: It seems Were as likely to be doomed as a result of this, as We are to listen to You winnie about Crossbows :)

You have to isolate the "hostile" dwarves from the rest of the population, otherwise everyone will be at each others throat.
Post by: Chilton on May 10, 2012, 07:44:28 am
Ah, it's just a loyality cascade. Failcannon survived one of those as well. :PThis is just it but! Dont You get it? Re-read the Update. There was no Loyalty Cascade. There were only two attackers. One was Twangykid, the other MarkAFK. Twangykid was killed by a Captain of the Guard, and MarkAFK was murdered by a Recruit. Its over. No Tantrums, No Problems, No Surviving Traitors. Nothing.
You have to isolate the "hostile" dwarves from the rest of the population, otherwise everyone will be at each others throat.
There was literally never a cascade. There was essentially just a brawl.
And We got all the Merchants goods, and the butchered Animals. We have GAINED from this. Yeah, We lost two guys. But if this Bridge works, no worries.
Post by: MarcAFK on May 10, 2012, 08:23:19 am
But seriously there should have been a cascade because when the recruit killed me He should have been marked as an enemy, continuing the cascade, if not then wtf :(
Anyway, good job on capturing the caravan, all it cost was some random useless Militia (er and a brewer), that's what they're for!

Well, obviously it doesnt work that way. Because everyone is happy and fine.

Why is there a small hole in front of the Catapult.
It is just for training purposes. The stones from the catapults will hit the wall and fall down one z-layer, unharmed. That way Cain can practice his siege operating without wasting stones and running long ways to get more ammo. And MAYBE he can do something useful with that skill one day...

What even killed Twangy? Do the merchants themselves have weapons and combat skills or did the animals kick him?
He was killed by the Merchants Captain of the Guard.
Gr8 update(even though chilton fckd up some :P)
How did I fuck up? WE NOW HAVE AN ENTIRE CARAVAN FULL OF GOODS. At the expense of 2 people. And supposedly, We can get Migrants now :D
I don't think a catapult will ever be usefull seeing as how to use it you need access to the surface :/
No...
No You dont.
You could make a Hallway Of Doom, with Ballistas and Catapults at one end, and an entrance on the other.
Of course, itd get us bloody murdered. But its doable.

If it makes everyone feel better about it, My Dwarf is in the Militia. He could have been killed as well, and He will still be in the Militia next time. Its a seperate group I made after this incident, to act as a murder squad.

This is correct - most catapults (such as the Onager) would fire things forward, into a falling arc. Only the advent of advanced mathematics (ie. greek/roman empire) has eventually resulted in parabolic arcs.

Two Hollywood Undead Songs later, and it hasnt even been one day.
Not even one.
Lets try and redirect focus to good news.
The Digging is actually going righteously fast. It just feels noxiously slow because the Game is noxiously slow.
Feel free to just listen to this.
It may end up being more interesting than the whole update.
FYI, I type these updates in Notepad as I go along, so Im just linking what I have playing now :)

I think the FPS is improving. I may need to quickly go see if CG is alright down there. I mean, Im sure Hes fine. But it pays to be cautious!
Dont worry CG. Your work down there is making awesomeness possible.
Youre integral to My Project!
Its just... A little dangerous.
The work.
15 days into the Month. Nearly 40 minutes. I can do this.
Just... 15 more days, without finding slightly unsavory ways to amuse Myself with the ridiculous amount of time this is taking.
No when.
No want.
No worry.
I had to make that reference.
...Did You get it?
There reference?
That I may or may not be typing about to pass time whilst the Game just... Runs.
I could go watch Youtube Videos, or play a game.
I reckon when I got back, nothing would be different.
In fact, I might.
If nothing happens soon.
Oh I see. Asob was cutting Gems in an area I never knew existed.
Waves of Water wash over the now decaying corpses, littering the Northern Shore.
In the East, bodies mar the beautiful Ocean View.
The Plateau, is a plain of Blood.
The Northern Interior, now sealed and abandoned, is littered with the bodies of Our fallen.
Its walls bathed in Blood.
Its floors streaked with dirt, rot, and flesh.
The Main Hall - Home to two of the Demons which condemn Us to this Life.
This is Markedangels.
On the surface, it is Raining.
Washing away some of the Blood, from the denizen Corpses, littering the Grass.
The Grass is Dry.
The Trees, weak.
Those taken by the Cloud, wandering. Aimlessly.
But not all who Wander are Lost.
The Hall of Cages, now only a distant memory of the opening once carved, which lead to the deaths of many.
The Original Entrance, a memorial to those who died scrambling inside, and the vague memories of Chilton and His Pony.
All this, to try to prevent death.
So many attempts, to make it possible for Travelers to safely stow away inside, out of the humid, dry, rainy World.
Away from the Terrors lurking outside.
A beacon of safety, where Dwarves could live in Harmony, as best They could, without bearing the weight of knowing that They were dooming any Newcomers to suffer and die outside.
One day, They would journey back to the Surface, and try to tame it.
And like all these Doors and Entrances, elaborate and basic, made to facilitate Harmony, with good intentions - It would more or likely end in Destruction.
This is not a valiant War for Victory.
This is making the best out of a horrid situation.
We can only try.
...Except Me. Im building a Project.
Its the 20th.
Not long now.
Not long.
Not long any more.
Not long to go.
I can handle it.
Some Migrants have arrived.
Moment of fucking truth.
Please, Felcis, Label the Levers better next time :D
I have no idea what Outer refers to until I pull the Lever.
Im sure itll be fine.
I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS WORKS.
I worked it out. The Entrance is open, and the Migrants are slowmotion running towards the hole on the Surface.
The wave is gigantic.
But so is the horde of Zombies assaulting any stragglers, and rushing in at the train of incoming Migrants.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-tceHy0gSWEU/T6_WdTcYKCI/AAAAAAAAAf0/3xUWiP1Ut90/s912/2.png)
The Migrants were just scattered near the Entrance. I expect a ton of stragglers to die.
27th of the Month.
So far, its going alright, despite the casualty count. I
It was
This is functional though, and thats whats important right now.
Some Migrants > No Migrants.
END OF THE MONTH!
BREAK TIME ON CLIFFHANGER ENGAGE

Now one "Feb" is sitting in the Catapult.I lol'ed... xD
What the fuck is this? The Catapult of Destiny?
Dunno why that happens, Cain should be the only one with Siege Operating activated...

But I'm glad that my construction kinda works and got some of those zombies. Crush a few more and your framerate will improve. You might want to try chaining a child in the corridor as bait. ;D
How many migrants did manage do get in?

The problem is this:
As soon as They arrive, the Zombies swarm at Them.
And the second even one of Them breaks off from the Train, or theres a gap, in come the killers.
I... Have an idea though.
Its all part of the Project.
Post by: Chilton on May 13, 2012, 10:46:52 pm
Entrance sealed, Migrants in.
Ill do a headcount in a second.
17 Survivors, its looking like.
That may be about 5 high though, since some are running around outside.
Even 12 is good though.
The FPS is a little better.
Still utter shit, but better.
Also, Cognitive Dissonance work in the Projects is complete. Now its safe for everyone else to do Their job.
AND He survived.
Whee.
Yay. Its Solons turn in the Catapult!
Catapult, Hooray!
Catapult, Hooray!
Catapult, Hooray!
Alot of the Migrants were Children.
Great.
Two people have been missing for a week, it seems.
...Make that Three.
Um... Four.
One of them is Solon. Ast has now replaced Him, in the Catapult.
...Six?!
Zasit, Atir, Ber, Solon, Ducim, and Stukos. All missing for a week now.
I know at least Solon was INSIDE the Fort, and didnt leave.
Noone left - They were burrowed, and I was eyeing the Entrance.
Amost Almoshbesmar. Missing for a week.
Thats Seven.
Mebzuth Legonlogem, Missing for a week.
Thats Eight.
Down in the deeper areas, near the Magma Smelters and Furnaces, there was a piece of Raw Adamantine, lieing on the Ground near some Blood.
The FPS has stopped being quite so insanitising for some reason.
I am happy.
I know some of these guys were just Dwarves on the surface being killed by Zombies.
But the thing is, not all of Them are.
Thats why Im worried.
In the Farming area, I just sighted some Forgotten Beast Ichor I dont remember being there.
Heh.
The Project is coming along nicely.
Nothing worth Screenshotting yet.
Uunneevveennttffuull...
An Elven Caravan has arrived.
Lets see about letting Them in!
Entrance Open. Lets see if They make it.
The Elves are being torn apart.
They MIGHT make it in, if Im really lucky.
I sent out a lone Dalex to fend off the Zombies. Theres was only a few of them who werent clusterfucking the big part of the Caravan, and They ran off to be with Their Horde.
Your a Hero, Champ!
Some of the Caravan has made it in. I herald this a success!
Oh, by the way...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ_aFHjQhx8
DIE!
Six Dead Elves.
Another Caravan, ours.
I was gonna throw a screenie in here, but fuck it, it doesnt amount to much. Just imagine a bloodier Trade Depot and lots of pwitty loot.
Ill quickly mention the seven Zombies hanging around near the entrance. They arent far enough in to get bridged, but Theyre there.
Watching.
Oh, by the way. Congitive Dissonance was killed by an Elf.
You should be so proud, You crossbow wielding fool :D
Same as Twangykid. Fires an Arrow > Gets brained.
Wanna be Redorfed?
END OF THE MONTH!
Im fuckin outta here.
I.e., Break time.

If I correctly recall, problems like that tend to have only one solution, and it begins with 'L'. The (almost) universal solvent.I dont plan on even daring to try it :p
Im experimenting with "hiding" items. It helps slightly, but I havent the nerve to go on until I can at least diminish the effect. It took an hour to get through a quarter of a month.
If this keeps up, Im just gonna designate a ton of digging, then go do something else. I dont want to take forever with this :D

Wouldnt digging also increase lag because of the stones being mined? Obtw, I also heard that latest update (.08) has some lag problems.It doesnt - Ive cured My Lag Hate by running My own Fort in a seperate instance of DF, do I can play that, and manage the Game at the same time. I doubt Stone would do it, but lets just say Im awefully tempted to use "clean", and see if it helps.

What did I do?
Post by: Felcis on May 18, 2012, 04:49:49 pm
So essentially, I, a lone mechanic, just managed to turn a bunch of zombies on their heels?I think even as smoke zombies, the civilian dwarves are the same cowards as they were in life. They try run away when they see hostile creatures, even if they are almost invincible and "opposed to life".
What did I do?
That's a big difference to the usual zombies who are just attacking mindlessly.

Ive just designated a ton of crap, and now im just waiting out a month or two.
Ill post if anything remarkable happens, but I cant stand watching everything, so bleh.
Its Hematite now. Nothing to report.
Yo. Next overseer. Figure out why the upstanding fuck we have nearly 50 jobs regarding moving random junk to the hospital.
Ast is still in the Catapult.
The FPS is ever so slightly less shit.
Migrants.
Dammit, now I have to actually do stuff.
Eh... Small problem. Theres about three dozen zombies hanging around the surface part of the entrance, and about a dozen inside the entrance, just before the smasher bridges.
Lets see what happens...
The zombies are kinda stumbling in small circles, and...
Uh...
Remember that Mace Lord who I said was fighting 2 zombies since forever?
Hes a Zombie now, and He isnt afriad.
Well shit.
The Migrants are utterly surrounded, and some of the Zombies are getting increasingly hostile, and none of them are fleeing.
The Migrants have huddled together, and are trying to slowly make motions toward the entrance, in the hopes the zombies will just let them pass.
There are already injuries, from hit-and-run like assaults.
Somethings up. One of our Masons is trailing back into the Hospital. The path of dripping blood leads to the Main area.
Lemme check something...
The Mason was a criminal, beaten by the Cappy of the Guard. No worries. I was just concerned a zombie might have strolled in :P
For a Violation of Production Order, the Liver was fractured, the Ribs were broken, and the Fingers and Feet were smashed.
Woohoo!
We just found multiple dead puppies outside.
Aww.
I just noticed. The Undead are fighting amongst themselves from time to time. Heh.
The Migrants are still surrounded, and unable to get in.
I just watched a Zombie with a Pick hack off a baby chickens leg for no reason.
FYI, if these stupid Migrants dont suck it up and get in soon, Im sealing the entrance and going back to Youtube until something else happens.
Its now Malachite.
I have an idea. Migrant Militia!
Note to self: Zombies inhesitantly charge at Militia. Eh... YOU TEN! YOU WILL REPEL THE ZOMBIES WHILST THE OTHER 17 OF YOU GET INSIDE!
That was the plan all along. Promise.
Oh, and it seems the Militia are fleeing the Zombies.
Ok. Militia disbanded. Few casualties.
Can you idiots get inside now, before I turn you into something entertaining to watch.
Now theyre fleeing the zombies even more heartily. Fuck this, good luck out there.
1-5 made it inside.
I need a break. This took 2.5 hours.

Have you found out if the bastards are vulnerable to falling damage? I'm thinking of executing a standard dodge-me trap. If that's too cheap and cheesy, I might just finish it off with a dash of magma at the bottom. 8)Every time I try, I end up killing everyone. Dont ask how.
Edit: And about the pump stack -- how hard can it be? :P
At this point, weve gotten pretty cheap. However, if You replaced some of the smasher bridges with dodge'm traps, Id be cool with that :) Besides - Even if it didnt kill em, itd be a nice display set!

And the hospital thing, it seems it's a bug with the new version. I'm also wondering if the new hauling rules is screwing with productivity yet, something along the lines of "Item produced>run to stockpile for bin>return to workshop with bin>put item in bin>run back to stockpile with bin and item>return to workshop just as second item is produced>repeat process."
Post by: Chilton on May 21, 2012, 04:02:30 am
Aren't zombies trap avoid?
I know for a fact Zombie dwarves are trap avoid, as well as they can totally open closed doors. (also zombie pets/reverted to wild)

We have multiple caged Zombie Dwarves.
I caught them with the Cage Traps I had that essentially kept Us from being in Markedangels Reclaimed back when I caused that incident on My first turn.
That sounds about right, because this Fort aside, in another one Im playing in DF: Apocalypse, production sometimes just grinds to a complete halt due to some kind of hauling loophole.

Post by: CognitiveDissonance on May 22, 2012, 01:06:21 pm
You have, of course, made a zoo with these caged zombies?
The logical solution is to systematically trap all the current and future cloud zombies. It falls to Markedangels to serve as an asylum to those unfortunate souls. There shall be enormous undeground halls to contain the poor creatures, so that other dwarves may visit their loved ones. This would also serve as the perfect location for the fort's prisons - chains and cages. Spending a night in the haunted halls of the insane and zombified would be enough to put some sense into the most wild dwarf.
The more powerful entities (those with military skills) can be weaponized, and stored in mechanized cages. Should a band of goblins or worse, elves, try to invade... we will unleash them, and let them protect the fort they so wished to call a home.

Even better - create magma mist for the zombie to fall through.

Post by: Chilton on May 27, 2012, 04:37:46 am
But because of how long simple things take, im forced to mesh work, and updates. So, lets try and get someone else rolling :P
Sorry for the delay.
Im a slowpoke, what can I say.
It be Malachite.
And I have no idea what im doing right now.
I know whats causing the lag. It aint the items, its the amount of bloody zombies. Theres so many of them, that My Computer, which can run absolutely anything maxed out in every which way, lag.
Bravo Markedangels.
I just hope the next poor sod doesnt have to suffer like this.
The Solution is to somehow have a Zombie Genocide. Possibly followed by a Mass Suicide.
But seriously, they need to die, in order for there to be less lag.
If Magma dont kill Zombies, and Crossbows have gotten two people killed so far, that leaves Us with training up the best mother fucking Military Force known to Dwarfdom, and arming them with Adamantine Everything.
FYI, I couldnt be bothered doing Screenshots. This is fucking taking long enough as it is. Ill only screenshot important stuff. I wont seek out things to tag.
The Asylum is at least making slow, deliberate progress.
Getting the Zombies in once its done will be easy.
But it feels like its taking for-ever.
We are also gonna need a TON of Doors and Levers. Ill make them, to save the next person some grief.
And of course, plenty of Cages and Mechanisms.
Im also building a Mind Maze, and a special Trap Entrance, for Trapping stuff at minimalistic risk to Us.
Thats My Project in its entirety.
And its going swimmingly.
Hell, We already have some captives.
Someone should rig in a system where the cells can be... Um... "Purged".
[This was the end of one Update. I decided not to post it, and to accumulate a bigger, singular update instead of many tiny ones]
Kel the Farmer stands within the Catapult.
Praise unto the glorious Catapult of glory.
Im gonna lock the rest of the Migrants out, and hope they just... die. And lag Me down less.
They are fighting up there, and losing. Thankfully.
Someones taken a Fey Mood.
He has claimed a Craftsdwarf Workshop.
It be Galena.
The Great God... Eh... I mean, Hellish Beast of the Forgotten, Usan, has come. Meh.
Silly walls.
This is kind of epic. A bunch of Migrants are hiding in the abandoned half of the Fort, whilst some Zombies try to stalk Them.
Its an awesome spectac...
Wait a sec...
...We have a problem.
Um...
The Asylum... Kinda... Sorta pierced the Caverns...
Where Usan is.
...............................and all the others.
Um...
SEAL THE FUCKING HOLES!
...And let that be a cliffhanger.
[Again, one long update, instead of many small ones]
Dalex is... Dalex just stabbed Usan in the leg with a Pickaxe, and is now psychopathically bashing the shit out of it at lightening speed.
Hes been poisoned by extract, and hes taken some wounds. He is also Enraged.
So, Dalex. You pretty much went total Rage-Man on Us, and are now hacking up Usan.
You chipped His HEAD.
Not that that means much, considering that Usan just went off after the others, and Lomoth has joined the fight instead.
Fuck it, Screenshot time!
PS: Everyones still just... digging. In the midst of this.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-415eFH8Z2G4/T8H1D1WcGdI/AAAAAAAAAgY/l4ZJVBC2m94/s912/1.png)
A Woodcrafter is taking a stroll, out into the wilds of the Cavern.
Heres the FBs present currently.
But first, lemme mention the Sponge Men running around.
Usan:

Somehow the epicness is making the lag more bearable.
See, we have a bit of a problem. Noone is taking the jobs to seal off the area.
A Miner was just struck down, named Sigun.
And almost everyone down there is wounded.
We may have to stand and fight, because theyre running out of Miners to kill down there.
Dalex is still fighting, and chipped a Beasts upper body.
Everyone down there is fleeing helplessly into the Caverns. I may need to get the Militia on standby upstairs, because this may be my only chance to get Us into a big group, rather than a scattered mass.
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-R1BASyHE_6s/T8H1FL9KpdI/AAAAAAAAAg4/6gf2vaiSfSI/s912/5.png)
I, Tiltin, am laying down there in agony.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-2xXmUvghnyw/T8H1Fbzmb8I/AAAAAAAAAg0/bRn_EbIZ8zU/s912/6.png)
I just wanted to be all Tiltin and stuff! :'(
Dalex has been beaten to shit. Were mostly broken and wounded down here. More of Us are hiding in the Caverns than there are dead.
Tiltin has been struck down.
End Update.
[Again. You get the deal. One long update]
The wall is built. The area, sealed.
Those down there, condemned to die.
Us above, saved, survivors.
Now I have a decision to make.
It took the entire fucking year to dig out that...
PS: Dalex is dead.
*Ahem*
The whole year to dig out that fucking Asylum, and Ill be fucking damned if it was all for nothing. WE FIGHT!
...And Rith will make an Artifact!
Lets do some killing. CONSCRIPT. EVERYBODY.
...Wait, WHAT?!
Welp, lets... just seal that right up...
Totally irrelevant to the beasts. Just... um...
This didnt happen. *ahem*
Ok, ok.
We mayyy have accidentally broke into Hell.
It was a minor misjudgement.
Im not sure how it happened, honestly, because Ive not designated any new digging for ages.
This single tiny hole must have taken months for them to get to, and that makes zero sense.
Hence My confusion.
End Update.
[You know the drill]
I love how My boring turn just became a chain of catastrophic doomsday events.
Mm, walls down. Lets go KILL SOME BEASTS!

What the fuck else is this damned place for, at this stage.
Yo Vodrilus. You just killed Buqui.
CHEERS FOR VODRILUS!
And no casualties so far.
Vodrilus VS Lomoth.
FIGHT!
Felcis is bashing the living crap out of Lomoth. Weve sustained a ton of injuries in the process of the battle though.
Two casualties, also.
Make that Three.
Reinforcements inbound.
Theres about 35 of us moving in, all up.
Usan has shown up. This aint gonna be pretty.
Two pretty tough Beasts here.
I really hope this wasnt a bad idea :P
Oh look. A Dwarf with a Crossbow, who resorted to bashing Usan, has been killed.
Lemme just switch all the Soldiers to only use Melee Weapons.
Felcis just beheaded Lomoth.
CHEERS FOR FELCIS!
DEATH TO USAN!
...Meanwhile, Rith made a Donkey Bone Crown.
Hooray.
FYI, Usan is a tough motherfucker.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Cx9Jzum6u3o/T8H1FnuFdvI/AAAAAAAAAhA/lxaFrsCS8Mk/s912/7.png)
Good News: Tunnel to Hell has been sealed.
Now to kill Usan.
I need a break.
[Yeah yeah. Update Breaks]
Yo, guess what.
A Vile Force of Darkness has arrived, I fucking shit You now.
WHY IS THIS ALL HAPPENING TO ME.
WHY.
ME.
I mean, They cant get in, but fuck.
Usans still fighting, You know. Hes just slowly killing our entire Military.
Fun fact:
Its still fucking Galena.
Im sending down Reinforcements.
Usan may be the death of Us if I dont, despite being torn up as it is, He just refuses to DIE.
Id take another screenshot, but I couldnt be arsed. Just imagine the last one with more corpses.
Bomrek is now in the Catapult.
Praise be the Catapult.
The Goblins, Elves, Migrants, and Zombies are having a massive Brawl.
My FPS hates Me to DEATH.
Good News.
Usan is DEAD. The cunt.
Bad News.
Tohwot Shasttolithbi Gulshebkamca the Forgotten Beast was waiting for the others to die.
Hes just been waiting. He didnt arrive now. Hes joined in, now.
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-wJF89yXpDZM/T8H1GEcO4rI/AAAAAAAAAg8/HJdCLhE8MP4/s912/8.png)
I need a Therapist.
Fuck this. Everyone out of the Underground.
Im walling off the Breach whilst I still can. Weve lost enough lives killing Usan.
*sigh*
Its still Galena.
I need a break.
[La de da, Yeah]
Huh. The Goblins are killing about as many Zombies, as They are Frames Per Second.
Thing is, I dont know how High or Low that number is.
I just know that a smoke cloud will inevitably rush by any second now.
Also, it took an Arrow 6 seconds to fly across My Screen.
Yo dog. I heard You like Blood, So Im taking a snapshot of the surface.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-hXpT2BEIdE0/T8H1HV_OSuI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/SIUM_g3LZ4s/s912/9.png)
Must. Make it. To the end of the Month.
I was gonna take a picture of the Hospital, but I dont know where the hell it is, so bleh.
Ill just follow a Dwarf using the new F-Key Follow Majuggle.
Found it. Aint really worth a screenie but.
Vieto is currantly Mayor. I couldnt be arsed making a new Me.
Because thats been working out soooooo well.
So, My Cage Entrance is still being built. SNEAKPEAK!
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FihpqhtI3ek/T8H1D_0SVZI/AAAAAAAAAgc/GowPD8_Z95c/s912/10.png)
Why does this always happen to Me.
How is it still Galena.
Fuck it.
Break time, deal with it :D

Right, now that thats over, would You folks prefer long updates like this, or many short updates? I just did it this way because it had been a while anyway, so I figured, why not take 3 more days and make it even longer.

If Magma dont kill Zombies, and Crossbows have gotten two people killed so far, that leaves Us with training up the best mother fucking Military Force known to Dwarfdom, and arming them with Adamantine Everything.Remember to only use swords and axes though. Spears won't do shit against them. And concentrate on making weapons, since I don't think that armor-material will make much of a difference against unarmed enemies.

Ok, ok.Didn't I install a bridge to seal of the entire adamantine-area? xD
We mayyy have accidentally broke into Hell.

Yeah, there was a Bridge.
I noticed that *after* sealing the area :)
I think Youre alive. You were beaten the fuck up, I know that. In fact, lemme quickly check!
*Vanishes
*Materialises
You did not live. The poisonous air left behind by Usan finished You, and about 19 other soldiers off :)

And yeah. Its only fucking Galena, and it feels like its been forever already. But at least stuffs happening now.

With 19people dead, did we lose all our experienced miners?
Btw. I would like a redorf whenever you get more migrants inside.
Name: Felcis II./Felicia III.?(male/female)

Post by: Chilton on May 27, 2012, 09:49:26 am
Well, at least I built some nice tombs for Vodrilus and me. And Twangykid for that matter. A decent grave is much more than most other inhabitants of this fortress could even dream of, provided the corpses can be reached...

Not all of them. I think 3 successfully fled into the Cavern, and as a result, survived.
Im pretty sure its only Felcis II. The one that died is just Felcis, so...
Incidentally, We have enough Migrants from last time to just dorf You now.
Post by: Vodrilus on May 27, 2012, 10:07:39 am
Incidentally, We have enough Migrants from last time...I'm still surprised to see that any migrants dare set their foot in our Armok-forsaken little deathtrap, known as Markedangels the Waters of Living. But, hey, the last hope of the dwarven race and all that jazz? (Also, where do those caravans come from, in our canon?)

Other Survivors. Remember why We travelled this way? Theres hardly only two Islands in all existance. The remnants of other Civilisations on this land hide away in Strongholds similar to Markedangels, albeit They are more actively involved with one another than We are.
If You go back to My first update, I RPingly send an imaginary Dwarf out to search for civilised Dwarves.
Post by: Chilton on May 28, 2012, 07:41:38 am
Now of course, nothing is happening, save an above ground War.
How the fuck am I going to restore My Asylum Project.
I may just leave it for the next guy :D
Aaand here comes the smoke cloud.
Are you fucking kidding Me right now.
There be a cave spider, webbing Us in the Asylum.
*About two minutes elapse*
Wait, THATS NOT A FUCKING SPIDER.
Uh... Hi... Agak the Forgotten Beast who is in fact a GIGANTIC HUMANOID COMPRISED OF GRIME AND FILTH THAT SHOOTS WEBS ALL AROUND IT AND HAS WINGS AND UNDULATES WRITHMICALLY.
Where the unholy FUCK did You come from?
SEND EVERYONE BACK DOWN!
Except Thikut, for Thikut is in the Catapult.
How many Beasts are locked down here?
Please, someone, make a tally. Or something.
This might end poorly. It fucking shoots webs.
If We start losing, Im sealing this place for good.
Fight bravely, Men!
Psst! I couldnt be arsed taking screenshots of the redundantly bloody Asylum. If something new and evil happens, Ill screenie.
This is not good. He webs like a machine gun.
Oh, and He webbed a bowdwarf I conscripted. Shame it wasnt a crossbow.
Right. Policy change. Sorry guys down there, but Agak just webs Us so fast We cannot touch Him, and He is slowly killing Us.
Im sealing it.
Were losing about a dozen people here, but honestly, We cannot lose more people to Agak. Im not letting Him be the death of Us.
My sympathies, but This guy is dangerous.
Oh dear Armok. Please tell Me all our Masons arent down there being webbed.
Oh. Shit.
Not good.
Really bad.
Bad.
Bad.
Bad.
Ive assigned the Masonry labor to everyone.
EVERYONE.
No dice.
One survivor literally dragged Themself out, wounded with a broken leg.
...please be a Mason.
It be Limestone.
Ok. Three Dwarves have dragged Themselves out. Luckily, Agak is sated, torturing His captives.
I shit You not, He has Them completely defenseless, and He is just shooting out thick strands of webbing, and nothing else.
They will starve and dehydrate and die down there, alone and motionless around Him.
Rest In Peace down there, folks.
This will not end well.
Break time!

47.
Take away 18, which are those trapped forever in Webs.
So really, 39. About 1/3rd of which are Children, so...
More like, 12ish.

Post by: Chilton on June 03, 2012, 09:26:09 am
This has been intense, and slow.
Please let it end.
Fighting Agak is impossible. I tried sending down one Archer. He shot His Web in a volley. It just cant be avoided.
We just need to seal that damn are, and stay out.
The Asylum is a lost cause.
Another Survivor just crawled out of the mess.
Just in time, too. The sealing Wall was just erected. The area has been isolated.
This is Location #12 in Markedangels, thats needed to be totally sealed off.
TWELVE.
Twelve scrapes with destruction.
Its only Limestone.
I still have to sit through Sandstone, Timber, Moonstone, Opal, and Obsidian.
*sigh
Vodrilus II, one of the survivors, is in the Hospital.
His finger, left hand, and skull, are all broken.
Laying next to Him, is a Miner, who has a broken hand, ribs, and fractured liver.
A Tanner who was trying to drag out the wounded has broken floating ribs.
Those are the Survivors who are still trying to recover.
I dont even know how many are laying dead on the stairwell, and darent count those dieing with Agak.
Some of Them, down there, arent even webbed. Agak just maimed Them. And Theyre just laying in the halls in pain. The ones He tortures are trying to eat, and drink. But They cant.
They are soon to die, slowly.
And in here, We have the odd Tantrum in the Hospital.
I cant blame Them.
Good news is, if it comes to it, I can seal the Hospital.
It would become Location #13. A fucking Berserker Room.
Our population is 47. About 1/3rd of that is Migrants on the surface, caught in the crossfire of Zombies, Elf Caravan Guards, and Goblin Invaders.
24 of Them are Children.
Speaking of Children, if a Webbed Captive gives Birth, Their Baby will be subjected to the same fate.
This is Hell.
Hmph. As if its any better than whats outside the Halls of Markedangels.
The Zombies have defeated the Goblins, the Migrants, and the Elves. Mostly because a Smoke Cloud turned most of Them.
Theres no longer plus of one hundred out there, but only the strongest survived.
So now, theres about 40ish Zombies out there.
Things are not improving.
I just saw a Troll Head, detached from its Body.
This means, something, possibly a zombie, took its head off.
Its body is surrounded by the things.
The Surface Entrance to Felcis Entrance Hall is surrounded, completely.
Migrants will have to push through, more so than last time.
Remember earlier, how I made a Militia out of the Migrants outside, thinking "Hey, You guys said the Zombies will be afriad, and run away!"
Tell that to Zuntir Onrelkulet.
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-KbKcTlt5aYI/T8tz3o1eUVI/AAAAAAAAAh8/oY36aEezIYE/s912/1.png)
And the 9 other *dead* Militia.
They. Are. Dead.
Their Corpses surrounded by Zombies. One is even hiding in one of the areas of the Fort that was sealed off due to a Breach. Im watching a Zombie rip Her up.
Cowards My Arse.
I mean, it worked at first. But Goblins didnt kill these guys. They were at the other end of the map.
The Fort is horrifically quiet.
I see two children in the workshop floor. Eating.
Most of Our Adults are with Agak, Wounded, or trying to Farm.
This is not. Good.
I know, lets count the victims with Agak!
18, alive. Theres probably more, albeit Theyre probably dead, and undiscovered.
So, 24 Kids. 18 Captives. Population 47.
47 - 18 - 24 = 5.
Of those 5, 3 are in Hospital.
So, 2.
TWO Dwarves, are still avtive and functional.
Two.
We really, really, REALLY NEED MIGRANTS>
Whilst We arent getting Migrants, allow Me to list those down there with Agak, who are trapped in Webs.
Ast Atiskalan.
Rith Gusilnokim.
Ineth Idekrigoth.
Onul Akmammistem.
Risen Konosstinthad.
Minkot Gemeshtirist.
Erib Cattennokgol.
Udil Rovodginet.
Solon Mengtalin.
Chilob Teshkaddakost.
Thikut Keskalamug.
Oddom Kodoroslan.
Felcis II.
Aban Avuzugosh.
Vieto.
Kel Tatloshstinthad.
Thikut Lilumzefon.
Bembul Alakustuth.
Yeah.
Um...
Migrants?
Please? :(
The Survivors who are active seem to be Dodok Noramtekkud, and Iogish Shemaned.
It seems I miscounted.
Cain III is still ok.
As is Catten Ezumosed, Oddom Shemerar, Zaneg Tegirdodok, and Rith Amkolgeshud.
I have no idea how such a miscalculation is even possible, because according to our supposed population, it isnt.
But who the fuck am I to complain. We have someone to pull the Lever when the Migrants come! WOOHOO!
Heres the Good News:
897 Drink. and about 2000 Food.
Were fine.
Oh, and Ghosts. But I dare not try to make Slabs. If Migrants show up, I want as few distractions as possible for the Lever Pullers.
The Tantrums are limited to two guys in Hospital.
Its fine.
Well shit. One of the People in the Hospital went Berserk.
Welp, hello Sealed Location 13!
I have zero intetion of risking our few Survivors fighting a motherfucking Berserker.
This is ever deteriorating. Hes killing the other people in the Hospital. He just kicked a small child in the head.
It be Sandstone.
And on a good note:
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-JdCE4hsraBE/T8tz39Aa-sI/AAAAAAAAAiA/PB-jEU4KX-o/s912/2.png)
Sheer. Dumb. Luck. Seems this aint Location 13.
He killed a Baby named Mistem. It seems Child was an exaggeration.
I did a quick headcount. It seems the Unit Counts may be buggy in This Version. Because theres more like 50 Zombies. I counted out 40.
Kogan is sitting in the Catapult now.
All hail Catapult.
Miasma floods the Asylum.
The Captives are beginning to perish.
I seriously, seriously fucking hope Agak isnt a Building Destroyer.
Im just gonna...
Um... Reinforce the Seal.
Like, alot.
I found another wounded. Zaneg the Broker has a broken shoulder. I think He was tagged by the Berserker. I saw someone run out.
Ah Hi Limul Tekkudonul, whos in bed with Zaneg.
Limul has a borken back, broken ribs, a broken arm, and a broken lung.
This is hell.
This is the damage one Berserker did, on top of all else.
Migrants. Please. Send. Migrants.
Somehow, in the midst of this, I have a Bone Doctor becoming the new Miner.
At least somethings going ok.
And more importantly, We still have one Pickaxe.
You know, its only 3rd of Sandstone.
Time crawled for a bit there.
Now its back to slow but not agonising.
Im just gonna go watch Youtube Videos.
I hope nothing happens thats important that wont pause the game, cause pausing events are all Ill see.
Vodrilus II just died of thirst in Agaks Iron Grip.
I swear to Armok, I aint stopping until Timber.
Catten stands within the Catapult.
And Dodok, a Hospital Patient, is struck with Melancholy.
Migrants.
MIGRANTS!!!
OPEN THE FUCKING BRIDGE!
You know, when and if They make it in, Theyre not doing anything.
Enough has happened this turn.
Im just bunkering down, and waiting it out.
Thats it.
Final.
Settled.
Noone wants to pull the Lever.
Oh, please tell Me someone changes Their mind on that one.
If someone doesnt pull the Lever soon, those Migrants are all dead.
Finally, someone has been assigned to yank that damn lever.
The Bridge is down.
Come, Migrants!
SAVE US!
We literally need You all.
Migrants in.
Door sealed.
Population is now 54.
Well, its something.
Agak is enraged.
As if He wasnt bad when He was calm.
...Wait a second...
Oh My fucking Armok, VIETO! Youre fighting Agok! You just broke His fuckin leg!
Hes stuck next to You.
Youre just wailing on Him.
Well shit! Keep at it bro!
Some of the Captives are out of the Webs, and are fleeing into the Caverns.
Vieto is pounding on Agak, fracturing bones almost every time!
I cant believe this. Vieto has fractured Agak's skull.
Vieto, dude, Youre BITING HIS FACE.
Agak is fleeing into the maze of the Asylum Construct. Vieto is in full pursuit.
Vieto has Agak on the ground. Hes just pounding down, now.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-QVjyjSf6s88/T8tz4DV9vjI/AAAAAAAAAiE/XrbCyb0Z1cA/s912/3.png)

Agak lives.
Fuck waiting until Timber. I need a break. Now.

This could be fun.
A Ranger, Bembul Alakustuth just broke out of His Web, and went Berserk.
Now He will either kill all the captives, or have a run at Agak.
Ill get back to You on that though.
Because He immediately ran into a stationary Web.
Cain III, is now unto the Catapult.
He has brung a Stone, in offering to the Mighty Patriarch.
Agak is pretty well broken. If it werent for the Web, Hes actually pretty weak.
Oh Yay. The Berserker is going into the Caverns, instead. To kill the Survivors who broke free, and have been surviving on Armok knows what. He knows better than to face Agak.
Even with the Lag, Agaks Web fires like an automatic rifle.
The Berserker has the three survivors cornered. This is like a Manhunt. Berserker VS 3 Survivor Dwudes.
Its actually kinda epic to watch.
That area would be so fucking screwed if another Forgotten Beast showed up. Theres still that one other one chilling somewere, out of sight. I forget His name, but Hes aquatic.
Another Captive has gone Berserk.
A Cheese Maker.
Its finally fuckin Timber.
The Forgotten Beast Cuwiwe Aditayo Liranunore Redari has come. A huge blob composed of grime and filth.
Meh.
The Outpost Liason is here. Open the Gates!
This time, I dont plan on killing Them. We cannot afford any Casualties.
On second thoughts, why the fuck am I letting Them in at all. We cant bloody trade anything.
Nope. Seal the bridge.
So, our new "Guest" is in the Asylum too.
And good thing I didnt open the Bridge. Goblin Ambush, right near there, caught the Caravan.
Yeah.
Breakies!

Hmm...Bleach influence you say? Haven't watched bleach but it might be slightly influenced by soul eater though. But I don't really think so 'cause Agak was originally bright green and purple, the black 'n white colorscheme was a last minute change :P

Hmm...Bleach influence you say? Haven't watched bleach but it might be slightly influenced by soul eater though. But I don't really think so 'cause Agak was originally bright green and purple, the black 'n white colorscheme was a last minute change :P

MarkedAngels has been sieged by undead horrors for years...Dwarves have arrived to reinforce the outpost, dwarves have fallen and joined the unded hoarde. But never has the headcount fallen as low as it is now...beasts from a world before time, the undead masses, and insanity have all drained MarkedAngels of its life... Out of the once "thriving"(it was never very good :P) population only a handful are now capable of holding an pick or brewing a drink and as the time of darkness and desperation draws closer the few souls remaining are all working their hardest for the sake of survival! or not...;D.Its better if You dont read into that too much.

Oh Slowpoke.
You know just how to make Me go to bed with happy thoughts :D
Now, for everyone elses benefit...
This will hopefully be another long update.
I just want My Turn to end.
So it seems a random Dwarf slipped out for the splitsecond the Bridge was down, and He is now trapped outside. Oh well.
Um... Best not to read into how it happened, but I...
Never mind. Im sure its fine.
Sakzul is in the Catapult.
Cuwiwe is stuck in one of Agaks webs.
This is brilliant.
Ok fine. A Bone Doctor is kinda sorta stuck in a hole.
And by Hole, I may or may not mean a hole that I thought was an Up/Down Staircase but which was in fact Channeled down.
Hes unnamed anyway.
I think He has a Pickaxe.
At least We arent being broken down by a winged building destroying Titan or something.
Thats something, right?
Right.
A Ghostly Farmer toppled a Bed.
My Trap Entrance is nearly done.
Break time.
[Yeah]
Ok then. Tis still Timber.
I have less and less patience for this :P
Im about to start watching Youtube Videos again.
Ok, so I may not have gone into detail about the problem with Ingish.
It scraped another obscure piece of Cavern, and opened it up. I built a floor over the top part of the Entrance as soon as I realised, and as such, no harm was done. But hey, if I never noticed, thered be a big gaping hole from Agak to the Main Fort.
We lost a Pickaxe, yeah.
And We gained nothing from the Mining Project.
But hey!
I cant just sit here doing nothing. I was looking for Metal.
And Ingish is going on an Adventure down there.
And by Adventure, I mean...
Eh...
Hes bum rushing the two Forgotten Beasts down there.
He completely failed, but it was interesting to watch the attempt.
He is, however, abnormally capable of breaking free of Webs.
Also, a Baby named Aban is just jogging around the Maze of the Asylum.
Ok, ok. Still not enough Detail.
Ingish and Cuwiwe are Boxing.
And Agak.
Hes somehow lured Them both in close to Him, by going in, getting webbed, throwing a punch or two, then ducking out.
Ill... Update as it goes on.
Theres also a Child named Thikut hiding in the Caverns.
Something really weird is happening.
Ingish picked up Dalex head, and moved it an inch. Now Him, and Two Other Survivors are stuck in a Web on the same tile as Cuwiwe.
Screw it. To Youtube!
[That was also gonna be the end of an Update]
Alrighty.
Someone named Erib just waltzed in out of the Caverns to join the snuggle.
Its Winter, and incidentally Moonstone.
Whee.
Good News:
Cain III, is once more, in the Catapult.
I just nicknamed the unnamed Mayor Kiltin.
Seems fitting.
I just realised - Literally the entire Coastline is bathed in Blood and Corpses.
The next Overseer can gaze upon it Themself.
A Farmer just traipsed in out of the Caverns down there. How many of Us ARE down there?!
24 Children. 24. Dear Me.
Cuwiwe has had all its Tails torn open and broken by the three dudes beating Him.
An... What. The fuck.
Ok.
Somehow, one of the people...
What is happening.
I need to collect My Thoughts.
Ok.
Ingish and ONE of the people drove Cuwiwe one tile up, and one to the right. SOMEHOW, the third dude is now BEHIND Agak.
He was...
I dont even wanna know.
...Someone just kicked Cuwiwe in the head, causing His Dust to get all over Agak.
Meanwhile, TWO guys are now SOMEHOW BEHIND AGAK, attacking Him, whilst Ingish boxes with Cuwiwe.
This is weird as shit.
Meanwhile, one other guy has moved into the Asylum, somehow bypassing the brawl.
Cuwiwes Spine is broken.
So that one Dwarf who went into the Asylum just strolled past the whole Brawl again, and is now having a nap in the Caverns.
Cuwiwe is trying to flee into the Caverns.
Agak is pinned down.
And Ingish has been found dead, nowere near the fighting, with some engraver named Cilob.
I. Dont. Even. Want. To. Know.
So... Cuwiwe and Agak are boiling to death. In a cloud of Forgotten Beast Extract.
You gotta realise that in the scheme of things, Ingish dug a big huge hole from near the surface to near the magma, then strolled through the caverns and has caused the two most lethal things to ever be within Markedangels to be grievously wounded.
I mean, sure, everyone down there save for one child and a baby are now dea...
And that one Farmer who just charged out of the Caverns and immediately got killed...
*Ahem*
Kabloomy.
So, Agak and Cuwiwe are returning to the Caverns. Obviously realising that theres gotta be something amazing down there.
I sure as hell think there is.
[End Update...]
So..
Cuwiwe and that one Child down there are wrestling in the Caverns.
And They both have broken spines.
So... Theyre just kinda pushing each other.
This is becoming Mortal Tots: Kombat Edition.
That Baby is trying to wrestle with Cuwiwe now.
Id is in the Catapult.
My Entrance is aaaalmost finished.
The Baby choked Cuwiwe for 2 turns.
Amazing.
Um... Cuwiwe... Agak...
Everything down theres dead.
Please dont be Building Destroyers.
It be Opal.
[End Update]
Please let this be the final update.
Catten is in the illustrious Catapult.
MY ENTRANCE IS FINISHED!
Its the one with the Siege Weapons.
The next Overseer can work out how Theyll use it *exactly*.
Speaking of which, is that still You, Vodrilus?
Agak is slowly, slowly ascending toward the sealed off Hallway. Lets... Reinforce the Barriers.
Hes in the sealed Hallway.
Please, PLEASE dont let Him be a Building Destroyer.
Hes just staring at wall. Its cool.
Agak is wandering North.
Eep.
Hes right. In front. Of the sealed wall.
Fuck it, Ive gotta go to bed.

Do the dwarves get positive thoughts from seeing the sacred catapult? After all it is made out of pretty great parts, since Cain III. is a Master Siege Engineer.
Well, I would presume so. Its a Catapult.
Post by: Chilton on June 07, 2012, 10:22:01 pm
I can not wait for the next Overseer to see this mess.
Stukos is giving praise to the Catapult.
538 Corpses line the wake of Markedangels.
69 'Others'.
15 Pets and Livestock.
And 35 Citizens.
The Forgotten Best Nunore has joined the party.
A huge cavy with lidless eyes and a fat bulging trunk.
And it has poison gas.
Welcome to Markedangels!
Cain III is now in the Catapult, presumably commemorating the coming of Numore.
Yo. Next Overseer. Go look expressly at the Shoreline.
You wont regret it.
Agak is still just chillin near the sealed wall. I dont think Hes a building destroyer. Hes just trying to creep us out.
Edem has been taken by a mood.
Good luck and stuff.
He seized a Mechanics Workshop.
Its nearly Obsidian.
Nish is in the Catapult.
Just FYI - When nothings happening, I just kinda pose the Camera over the Catapult and stare at it.
Edem has begun a Mysterious Construction.
At least the people of Markedangels have found something to do other than kill.
It be Obsidian. Im gonna stop now. I have shit to do.
Post by: Chilton on June 08, 2012, 08:42:25 am
Id was just battered by a ghost.
Edem made a fancy mechanism. Yay.
I cant believe its nearly the end of my turn. Ive nearly become conditioned to this.
Catten is in the Catapult.
CATTEN.
IS.
IN.
THE.
CCCAAATTTAAAPPPUUULLLTTT!!!
THATS IT! TODAY IS TO BE THE GREAT CATAPULT CONGREGATION!
PRAISE BE THE CATAPULT!
RALLY PEOPLE OF MARKEDANGELS!
STAND TALL AND STAND TOGETHER!
BATHED IN BLOOD AND STUNTED WITH WOUNDS, IN THE MIDST OF THE BEASTS FORGOTTEN, WE ARE CHILDREN OF THE CATAPULT!
Psst! Ive gotten so bored waiting for the end of My turn that Im having a Catapult Rally.
Yeah.
Hoist on high, la Catapult.
Catapult, up high!
The zombies, They dont drag Me down,
but They fuck about, le-sigh!
For the hundreds of deaths, over Markedangels Shore.
Salutations.
SALUTATIONS TO THE CATAPULT!
PRAISE THE HOLY CATAPULT!
Its the 28th of Obsidian.
Its nearly.
Over.
Ill let the next Overseer screenie the Congragation.
Of the holy Catapult.
Of Catapultyness.
From the land of De'la Catapulte.
Where everyone eats 'taters.
We should totally build a big Tower, with a Catapult carved out of the inside, viewable only in Stonesense.
ITS GRANITE!
ITS OVER!
When We figure out who the next Overseer is, Ill upload the Save. I remember Vodrilus saying something about doing something, but that was ages ago, so Ill wait for You lot to say something. I need a break from caring :D
Yo, xczxc. Say something!
Post by: Felcis on June 08, 2012, 11:41:44 am
But wow...I never would have guessed that a simple training-catapult would develop into such a sacred cult-item. :o

You could tell us who of the named dwarfves is still alive and give us a final status screen, while we are waiting for the next overseer.

14 adults and 19 children, 33 hungry bastards. Monom Deduklar, the resident minstrel, decided to pass on the tale of the great fort of markedangels, mainly to attract migrants. Anyway, let's see what we have here:

No, wait, this one. Yes, those are corpses.

Local graffiti, you know, the people's mood.

I have no idea what this is. Perhaps a future entrance under construction?

There are dozens of zombies outside and inside the fort. The latter ones are mostly caged, there is one zombie free behind fortifications and a complex mechanism next to it. Sick, I know.(http://i.imgur.com/2VDNP.png)
I can hardly imagine how many miners and resources were spent on this.
I can hardly imagine how many miners and resources were spent on this.
So, we've established that previous overseers were a bunch of egomaniacs, the fort in whole is a dirty hole, there are no sane dwarves left, we have a massive surplus of children, the are several...
(http://i.imgur.com/MLXYl.png)
Ah! This is nice! There is a working fortress below everything! I take that back, previous overseers.

Very very nice. But everyone insist they must go to the upper fort. Replace cages, they say. Sickos. Anyway, we are banning the upper fort and we are going to make a brand new entrance, which is going to protect immigrants and merchats, and scare foes. It is going to feature fortifications, inner barracks, bridges, moats, traps, art, statues, food, chairs, it's going to be awesome.

The safe entrance comes in the form of a big brown tunnel full of bridges, with a room with four levers in it acting as a control center. The rest = suicide. :P I cant help but notice You didnt screenie it.To be fair, Twangy's entrance (the one on the second picture) kinda works as well, as long as no zombies are blocking it. I used it for the first migrants and the merchants.
But hey, more entrances = more fun. Good luck with your plan and with finding the manpower necessary xczxc.
And I'm glad you like the housing-design. If you are living in a stinking hellhole, at least you should have neat rooms, I'd say.

Hey during my turn Markedangels reached its peak of prosperity, in conclusion: we had 'nuff manpower to build the infamous slowpoke-mines.(it was still pretty shit though)
Yep!

Emphasis on "As long as no Zombies are blocking it". You people think the zombies are cowards. I bid You all to remember how many of Us were savagely killed in My Previous Turn, and how They killed a whole fuckin Goblin Army, and many Trade Caravans. And Theyre much more clustered all over the map now.
I found it, it's the one with the live nanny goat and the partial horse skeleton, to the left of the word DIE.
Yep!

_____________
Through harsh mountains and ominous swamps they wandered...the weak were left behind and unlucky were forever lost.
Through piles of filth and rottening corpses they wandered...the stench was unbareable. As they got closer they could see movement, not dwarves nor beast.
Through the fields of the undying they wandered...few survived and even fewer kept their sanity.
But as the gates of Markedangels opened they all knew it was worth it because inside these walls the room lies.
The room of the catapult.

xDWe shouldn't talk shit about the catapult.
I think it's the only reason we still get immigrants. Pilgrims?
Duh. Obviously.
_____________
Through harsh mountains and ominous swamps they wandered...the weak were left behind and unlucky were forever lost.
Through piles of filth and rottening corpses they wandered...the stench was unbareable. As they got closer they could see movement, not dwarves nor beast.
Through the fields of the undying they wandered...few survived and even fewer kept their sanity.
But as the gates of Markedangels opened they all knew it was worth it because inside these walls the room lies.
The room of the catapult.

Such a welcoming sight! Especially for the Catapult Pilgrims...
Post by: xczxc on June 13, 2012, 09:28:06 pm
It was then that I devised a glorious plan. Scratch that nonsense about a nice entrance. Let's go full dwarf. I, xczxc, will build a mechanism to end all unlife, and to give Markedangels a fresh start, or die trying. Which is something I can do a couple of times, since there are some undwarfed dwarves (dorfing anyone?). Here is the list:
(http://i.imgur.com/mjUNO.png)
So, how is the zombienihilator going to work? Let me explain:
First. A series of winding tunnels are going to be built, all of which spawn from a common room away from the main fort.
Second. Chambers will be dug on top of a segment of those tunnels and a plug of dirt will be hanging from the roof, held by a single pillar, which will be connected to a lever.
Third. Pressure plates will be placed in the tunnels, connected to floodgates to trap zombies.
Fourth. Baits will be placed along the tunnels. Hopefully, animals.
Fifth. The tunnels are going to be opened to the exterior and the miners will return inmediately to the tunnels.
Sixth. Zombies, lured with the smell of fresh meat and fort entrances, will rush into the tunnels, becoming trapped inside the several floodgates. After a while most of the zombies are trapped.
Seventh. The lever is going to be pulled and BAM! No more zombies. The end.
Flawless, right?
But before that we need a healthy fort, and a lot of picks. So, my first rule is banning the upper fort, not because it's dangerous (all the entrances are sealed, I think), but mainly because of the law of dwarven entropy: The bigger a fortress gets, the more time is spent in useless jobs. We need focused dwarfs!
(http://i.imgur.com/8Fp1d.png) (http://i.imgur.com/XeSkT.png)
We have plenty of food and drinks. In fact, we have plenty of everything.
(http://i.imgur.com/XvLGu.png) (http://i.imgur.com/qclZm.png)
Life goes on. At the local hospital, Id Zaluddakost, who has a broken rib, is the first patient of our brand new doctor, Dr. Fokerdeduk. Who is diagnosing him after several days of idling around. Not being able to work because of his rib, Zaluddakost didn't make any crowns for the mayor and is now a criminal. But Markedangels is a free society, there are no cages anywhere. There is a mayor planning to proclaim himself king, tough, probably because we've been isolated for so much time.
(http://i.imgur.com/uSASG.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/0jIIC.png)
A small child was killed by a violent ghost. It is unclear how exactly, but his corpse was found in the floor of the memorial hall, where the children spend most of their time. They don't play, no one does in here, they just wander around near the graves, daydreaming about nicer places. And the recently killed child with the specter hovering over it is still laying there. No one dares to approach to pick up the body.
(http://i.imgur.com/t36MK.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/DsnU7.png)
I should add building several safehouses around the fortress in case there are dwarves outside to my plan.
(http://i.imgur.com/jXfjG.png)
The smoke has traveled the whole map twice. I hope it's seasonal.
(http://i.imgur.com/sP8cR.png)
Fuck, migrants! Let's see...which lever should we pull?
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY LEVERS?! I HATE THIS PLACE.
(http://i.imgur.com/S57S0.png)(http://i.imgur.com/PT2zX.png)(http://i.imgur.com/bzEsK.png)(http://i.imgur.com/CMiBj.png)(http://i.imgur.com/8beic.png)
Markedangels - The lever orgy. Hmm. Bridge, bridge, bridge, bridge, bridge...There are bridges everywhere and main entrances everywhere. I'll pull them all. Let's hope they make it.
(http://i.imgur.com/Y1AMo.png)
The way is blocked by a group of zombies.
(http://i.imgur.com/b6OUT.png)
Such are the times in which heroes are made. A migrant suddenly decides to rip zombies heads and starts hitting one.
(http://i.imgur.com/NZFMA.png)
Well, none of the levers did anything, but there are some rogue stairs hiding under a pool of blood that are serving as entrance. For both the migrants and zombies, but, there are some heroic dwarves who will stay along the way to fend off zombies until everyone is inside.
(http://i.imgur.com/rPNse.png)
So, some zombies got inside. No biggie. He has it under control.
(http://i.imgur.com/MFEYH.png)
That is, until the zombie ripped his foot off. Now we're in trouble.
(http://i.imgur.com/5rOoO.png)
WOHOOO! COME INSIDE, BOYS!
(http://i.imgur.com/IX6Bw.png)
After that group, the foot-ripper zombie found the entrance to the lower fort and it had to be forbidden. The migrants, seeing that it was either fight or die, decided to follow the original migrant-soldier and went for the glory. Soon, markedangel's peaceful shore turned into a battlefield.
(http://i.imgur.com/CdTDl.png)
Meanwhile, foot-ripper, seeing that he couldn't get in, started to wander. The migrants just have to wait to get in.
(http://i.imgur.com/b2o0E.png)
But it is too much for some dwarves, and they loose control of themselves.
(http://i.imgur.com/nzsxk.png)
Fortunately, original migrant-soldier is still kicking around, except this time he's fighting fellow dwarves.
(http://i.imgur.com/fCUFu.png)
BUT DON'T KILL HIM!
(http://i.imgur.com/WHtoQ.png)
Even though the field is full of weapons (unforbidden), the migrants refuse to pick any of them and fight the zombies barehanded, which is very stupid.
(http://i.imgur.com/s7I8M.png)
The fight is now meaningless. The few remaining undrafted dwarves (not dead) are scattered and away from the entrances.
(http://i.imgur.com/ByBXN.png)
Foot-ripper and his victim are dancing their eternal tango near the entrance, scaring away everyone.
Post by: Chilton on June 14, 2012, 01:01:02 am
Other than that, awesome :) I had a similar plan, for the Asylum. But Youre seeking to get rid of the things. Not just lock them away (Well, not how I was going to, anyway). Good luck, Good Sir!
And about sealing the upper fort: As you may have noticed, 75% of it is already isolated due to the clusterfucks of the past. We wont exactly be losing anything important by scrambling the Craftsdwarf and Mason and Mechanics and stuff down a few levels. This probably should have been done ages ago.
Good turn so far :) Hows the lag treating you?
Oh, and to everyone who says "Oh, the zombies are cowards. Just scare them away" - Consider it proven, yet again, that they are not bloody flowers. They are quite lethal. Yes, im still ragging on about that talk of crossbows, and scare-traps :P

After having spent several nights in my overseer's office, reading the logs of my predecessors, I became increasingly horrified.
-Did you really read all the overseers logs(posts)? Awsome in that case :P
Well, none of the levers did anything, but there are some rogue stairs hiding under a pool of blood that are serving as entrance.
-Total anticlimax xD
Not being able to work because of his rib, Zaluddakost didn't make any crowns for the mayor and is now a criminal.
The short tale of the dwarf Id Zaluddakost.
-Id had always been a peaceful dwarf with small and few aspirations in life. For almost 5 years he had lived quite happily with his brother at one of the survivorcamps but one day the rumors of a strange cult started spreading amongst the dwarves. The cult of the catapult it was called, Id didn't think much of it as he had never been a particularly spiritual induvidual. But the same could not be said about his brother whom suddently had become the major force behind of the spreading the cult. Before Id even had time to realise his situation, Id, his brother and a couple other dwarves set out for the now (in)famous Markedangels. Skipping a few months forward.
Id has now been staying at the outpost for a weeks and has stared getting used to the sounds of the undead gnawing on eachothers limbs and the screams of those who had been locked outside. He lived in constant fear but never let it hurt his morale, he worked hard everyday and tried to live his life the best he could under the circumstances. Then came to accident. He was badly hurt with ribs sticking out his side and a face as white as that of a cavetroll. Many days he lied in a dirty bed flowing in and out of consciousness while hearing the horrid sounds of Markedangels mixed with his own slow and heavy hearbeat. As he thought he was going to die a shady figure dressed in a white robe stepped up to his bed. The docor quickly glanced at Id before he brutually showed his ribs back into his chest. Id was about to join the dying outsiders in their constant screaming and crying but the pain took him away from this world once again.
As he woke up he first thought that he was back at camp but as he smelled the mixture of blood, piss and miasma he remebered where he was. His eyes had not adjusted themself to the light yet but he could see the outline of a face. Id felt a bit warmer inside when he realised that his brother had sat by his side during his recovery. He realised that his brother probably was the only one in this hellhole who cared if he lives or dies...but...The dwarf leaning over him was far to big to be his brother...
The dwarf was now right in his face staring at him with despise, his breath smelled of cheap liquor and rottening catmeat.
-Are you awake? he said with raspy voice so low that Id couldn't tell if he were a dwarf or not...
-y..yes. Id said as he felt dribbles of saliva and old bits of meat hittin his face...
-I am the the sheriff in this sad excuse for and outpost. are you hearing me you sad piece of shit? As his face drew even closer Id could feel his beard on his naked chest.
-y...y..yes. His vision began coming back and the face of the massive dwarf leaning over him became clearer. His face was scarred and his theeth as black as coal, his eyes were sunken deep into his skull as they tend to do after many years of heavy drinking...
-A dwarf who does not follow the law is a criminal. The law is decided by the king. My job is to hurt criminals so badly that they either never will concider commiting a crime again or never be able to commit a crime again.
Not long ago the selfproclaimed king of Markedangels issued an order for a crown. An order for you. And let's say that you did not follow the law of Markedangels what does that make you?
As he said this his face shifted for the murderous look he had earlier to a look of what only could be described as amusement
-B..but I've bee..been badly wo...wo...wounded... The dwarf was now so close that their foreheads almost touched. What had previosly been a hint of amusement in his eyes had now turned to the forced grin of a madman...
-when I'm done with you will wish that you never survived that accident...

Original migrant-soldier is still around, still chasing zombies. He recently took joy in slaughter.
I have ordered the construction of several slabs and copper battle axes. Some of the improvised soldiers became extremely good after some time fighting the zombies. I wonder if a properly equipped squad could have made any difference.
(http://i.imgur.com/Y18Yq.png)
foot-ripper is getting sloppy. He got distracted with some finished goods and the door got forbidden behind him, and in the meantime, two children (yay! (sarcasm)) and one gem cutter (w/e) made it inside.
(http://i.imgur.com/XASOT.png)
Some brave dwarves are still fighting, but have lost all hope of surviving.
(http://i.imgur.com/jYrbX.png)
Others try to satiate their needs in however they can, like drinking foul water.
(http://i.imgur.com/UKD6h.png)
While it evaporates...he later died.
Around 5 dwarves are still outside, including original migrant-soldier, who is trying to get inside but a single zombie is wandering around the stairs.
(http://i.imgur.com/lgobu.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/WhgvW.png)
Goblins! Great, now THEY can kill the zombies! Let's hope they distract them so the final survivors can get in.
(http://i.imgur.com/JDNRB.png)
God, everyone is coming here at the same time. It's going to be bloody chaotic.
(http://i.imgur.com/TAfOB.png)
Strangely, there is a terrifying presser INSIDE the lower fort (blue arrow), who scares the dwarves and gets scared himself. No, he is not a zombie. He is just a regular presser...Hmm...I wonder if they will kill him.
Another ambush appeared, this time made of axegoblins.
(http://i.imgur.com/HISF5.png)
A group of dwarves led by "Cain III" decided to kill the poor presser (again, just a regular dwarf (I have no idea why the other dwarves treat him like an enemy. He doesn't show in the kill screen, neither in the others list)). They are chasing him.
(http://i.imgur.com/ZYR2b.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/Jgxz1.png)
He's got nowhere to run!
(http://i.imgur.com/F90Ow.png)
God dammit! He's really nimble.
(http://i.imgur.com/oJch6.png)
Ok, this whole situation is making me uncomfortable. At this point the whole lower fort is after him.
(http://i.imgur.com/Dnizg.png)
He's not a normal presser.
(http://i.imgur.com/XL2mG.png)
FINALLY. They got him after a week.
(http://i.imgur.com/81xLY.png)
I guess he was just so dirty over the whole immigration deal that they took him for a zombie.
(http://i.imgur.com/Cumll.png)
THANK YOU.
Original migrant-soldier, now a legendary everything, has fighted till dehydration, against both zombies and goblins, refusing to go inside. He is the last dwarf in the surface and he will die soon.

A crime was committed inside the fort. Some children, inevitably attracted by the presence of death, found a corpse near the mayor's bedroom. Blood everywhere, so it wasn't a vampire dwarf. Not that those things exist, anyway; they are just tales.
(http://i.imgur.com/hr5iK.png)
Original migrant-soldier (OMS) made it inside! He was the only remaining dwarf outside. A true hero indeed. He got in just in time, because a massive cloud drifted to the fort and all the goblins got zombified.
And bad news, the presser phenomenon is happening again, this time with OMS, so that means that he has to die...
(http://i.imgur.com/KHBUa.png)
There they go.
(http://i.imgur.com/Bfzaj.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/ZIRbe.png)
But fighting zombies and goblins has made OMS (grey arrow) too tired to continue. He tries to give up, but the dwarves inexplicably continue attacking him. He dies soon afterwards.
(http://i.imgur.com/OVOOG.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/dMXPz.png)
Remember the lever? Well, a lever was left unpulled until now...some psycho dwarf build a passage of drawbridges which nearly killed my entire adult workforce. And he didn't labeled the lever! Or perhaps he did, I mean, you just need to get creative with the labels, because bridge, bridge, bridge, bridge, bridge, bridge, isn't working.
(http://i.imgur.com/L7Lk8.png)
A GROUP OF DWARVES GOT OUT. HOW?! NOT AGAIN.
(http://i.imgur.com/Y7D32.png)
Now you decide to open?! Which lever was it? Everyone get inside!
AND GUESS WHAT? YES, SMOKE.
(http://i.imgur.com/GgdtN.png)
Our king/mayor was probably involved in this.
(http://i.imgur.com/ilXdO.png)
Run, little child! Run!
(http://i.imgur.com/8TaCs.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/tZjux.png)
Oh my god! BOTH LEGS! I have ordered an engraved slab for that ghost. We need to purify the fort
(http://i.imgur.com/2Phz7.png)
But everyone is to busy to care.
(http://i.imgur.com/Er9AK.png)
Horrible news! The captain of guard sent me the weekly report of missing dwarfs and the list included our beloved master artillerist. A search and rescue team has been formed and we are searching him.
(http://i.imgur.com/eDPKV.png)
One child stayed in the surface and was able to outrun the zombies most of the time, well, until yet another violent ghost took his left leg. Now he is at the mercy of the zombies.
Cain (not cain III), the ghost, has been put to rest and he went not without stirring the other side one last time, now we have a violent ghost rampage. 3 more children have been hit.
(http://i.imgur.com/bnWa9.png)
The upper fort is now taken over by the undead.
I built a safe house in case the fortress gets overrun by any type of threat. There is a lever inside that if pulled, will seal the entrance to the safehouse.
(http://i.imgur.com/cPURc.png)
The surface is full of unclaimed treasures, left behind by hundreds of dwarves.
(http://i.imgur.com/msvRR.png)
I have ordered the construction of the winding tunnels for the zombienihilator. There has been some modifications, though. Inspired by the bridge crushing event, I think it's optimal if instead of collapsing ceilings, there are drawbridges linked to the pressure plates. It's going to be awesome.
I'm starting to suspect there is something going on with the dwarves. My search and rescue team didn't find Cain III, but they discovered some interesting information. The lever that caused the bridge catastrophe wasn't pulled accidentally, it was a murder. They found a strange drawing of a catapult next to it. I've told the team to have the uttermost caution with this...we don't know who might be hearing.
(http://i.imgur.com/6sXSQ.png)
More migrants...I hate them.
They quickly formed a squad to try to get into the upper fortress (which has around 4 zombies inside). They dubbed themselves "The Ochre Manors", or at least that was the scream we heard.

Like the first wave, battle soon began, but unlike them, this time they were less.
(http://i.imgur.com/TzQiM.png)
However, they were much more organized.
(http://i.imgur.com/Qy7yp.png)
Some Ogres joined the fight!
(http://i.imgur.com/M6yst.png)
This time the fight is much, much more bloody. The migrants don't stand a chance, because there are new zombies, the zombiegoblins, more vicious that the limbless dwarves the first wave encountered.
Meanwhile, in the lower fort, the ghosts are still battering the children, mainly removing their legs. I guess that Markedangels' future is going to need crutches.
One migrant killed a zombie! And the zombie's horse friend killed him a frame later.
(http://i.imgur.com/LKuY7.png)
It's a shame that he'll probably die.
(http://i.imgur.com/yPnku.png)
Zombies vs Weremonsters. Meanwhile, the ogres are still trying to choke the zombies.
The werehyena left quickly. He was an elf, and after killing a kobold thief, he retreated.
(http://i.imgur.com/sRp70.png)
The local militia is gaining new members. As children become peasants, they get drafted. The only system that works. One problem? two of them need crutches.
(http://i.imgur.com/U9ExA.png)
This is the only fort in which parties are welcomed. And also the fort in which the only guests are the party host, a fisherdwarf and a wounded farmer.
(http://i.imgur.com/2sZtj.png)
I heard the fisherdwarf brought a zombie piñata, that's the spirit!
On an unrelated note, I discovered that about 1/5 of our population is missing lower extremities.
(http://i.imgur.com/kOKqT.png)
At least we are defeating one of markedangels many enemies.
(http://i.imgur.com/LB1iP.png)
The terror is coming.
(http://i.imgur.com/5RpOf.png)
While taking a shower, a dwarf saw a creature unlike any other one: A huge cavy with horrible, lidless, flaming, terrible and scary eyes. It has a fat, bulging trunk that brings destruction upon otherwise calm fortress, and it is ravening, which means probably something related to death. Its rush hair is short and even, but it's still frightening, I guess. Beware is oh my god, poisonous gas!

However, we are not scared. It's common dwarf knowledge that forgotten beasts are incapable of dealing with wells. We just have to wait for it to leave. And here at markedangels, we are good at waiting.
And, I was right. It couldn't get in and went away.

That's just inevitable. I'm sorry goat.

It's amazing how we can't have a single stretch of peaceful time, I just want to build my zombienihilator (current status: 3 tunnels with severals bridges each, I want to try it small first...I suspecting it might be a tad dangerous). A dwarf went insane after being unable to find glass, as if we can trade... This is the first time our militia is called for duty. Let's see how they fare.

Good job, guys. Soon you'll be ready to face anything that stands in your way. Even zombies.

The constant isolation is putting a strain in the relationships of our dwarves. Today, a bunch of farmers saw the militia commander loudly discussing with a baby, and stormed out of the room cursing him after getting frustrated.
(http://i.imgur.com/MDP5w.png)
Gentlemen, I think we have found the solution to our problem: let our enemies fight the zombies! We just need to build a big chamber to keep the smoke away from...them...no..stupid idea.
(http://i.imgur.com/F9WZB.png)
There is an stupid child in the surface that refuses to die and it's cluttering my announcements screen.
After a while, we stopped receiving the messages.
(http://i.imgur.com/KRr2Z.png)
NO! FUCK YOU GHOST. I hate that the only way to get rid of ghosts is to give them rest, I'd love to kill this asshole who killed my favorite dwarf. Goddammit.
(http://i.imgur.com/TcuyW.png)
Our proud militia commander, who has been tortured by a ghost for about 3 months, is miserable...And he has a very dangerous-looking spear.
(http://i.imgur.com/kNPwN.png)
As long as that well remains strong, we shall not fall!
(http://i.imgur.com/q7Mg8.png)
From left to right: militia commander (spear, tantruming), soldier (axe, unhappy), soldier (sword, unhappy). Hmm, we may have a bit of a situation, and I don't know why! I mean, they can sleep in their own room when in duty, AND IT HAS FURNITURE, for god's sake. Where I come from, we only needed a bed and a legendary dining room to be happy. Here I am, without dwarf therapist, confused about the happiness of my dwarves and these guys come in and start babbling about their nonsense about long patrol duty, and that the dead is making me sad, and this and that, and grow a pair! The bravest dwarves in Markedangels are the most whiny ones...Perhaps they're just bored...
Well, they're on their rest month, so that should give me enough time (to end my turn)(I'm sorry, next overseer, you may have an inminent spiral, my gut tells me so.)
(http://i.imgur.com/Bg7kV.png)
Why?! But I thought you said you had calmed down! At least you could've gone stark raving mad or something...not berserk, specially not with armor and weapons...
(http://i.imgur.com/jJ6br.png)
Those two fine dwarves with our mad commander are half of the rest of our military, and they happen to be the new recruits...Let's hope their training takes over.
I placed the kill order.
(http://i.imgur.com/m2L0w.png)
The commander's expertise sure plays a major role in the fight: the recruit (oh yeah, did I forget to mention that he is missing a leg?!) doesn't have time to act before his good leg is critically stabbed, turning it into a bloody heap. He looses conciousness soon.
(http://i.imgur.com/UukfV.png)
But our unconscious recruit isn't dead yet. The second in command soon joins the fight and damages the mad dwarf's liver.
(http://i.imgur.com/39g5p.png)
Two against one is imbalanced, specially if the one is sturbbornly hitting the unconscious dwarf, not in the head.
(http://i.imgur.com/TgZPF.png)
The berserker is getting more wounded by the frame (time unit).
His guts are hit and he gets nauseous. He vomits. He gives into pain. His head is smashed by a silver war hammer, stricking him down.
The doctor is soon diagnosing the legless recruit.
(http://i.imgur.com/DVvg8.png)
But the death of his fellow comrade has gotten under the skin of the new commander, who is also his executioner. He killed a friend, and that's too much for certain dwarves (however, he looks more like the depressive type, so phew).
(http://i.imgur.com/ZoYYc.png)
If they ever, ever find out a way into the fort, we die.
Scanning a rough sample of about six dwarves, I'd say that the general mood is happy, so no tantrum spiral for us.
I received a death threat tonight. My room had a dead goat in the middle of an engraving about the foundation of markedangels, its guts were shaped like a catapult. My search and rescue team, now more like the secret police, are investigating the 'catapult cult', but I don't trust them anymore, I don't trust anyone anymore. I didn't survive the plague, forgotten beasts, zombies, goblins, ghosts, troglodytes and evil smoke to be murdered by dwarves. Not me. So, I'll be publicly stepping out of the overseer position, there is an eager dwarf ready to be my successor. He's a good kid, but I don't think he knows what he's getting into. I'll become a regular farmer...but only to the common dwarf's eyes. In reality, I'll still be in charge, well only until a new plot device says the contrary. But in the meantime, happy keeping your sanity.
And spring is upon us.
(http://i.imgur.com/Ed7RS.png)(http://i.imgur.com/cEFAa.png)(http://i.imgur.com/12SUR.png)(http://i.imgur.com/yYyEq.png)
So, there is one last thing. How is zombienihilator going? Not as good as I hoped. Construction has barely began, I only managed to build three tunnels and fill them with bridges. Just add pressure plates (which need to be set to minimum weight, as several zombies are rabbits) and baits and it should work. Good luck, next overseer.

Journal of Vodrilus III Koganlelum, Overseer
1st Granite, 259.
xczxc, that madman, has finally resigned his position as overseer. He is now only a humble farmer, broken by the horrors of Markedangels.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/01_decision.png)
2nd Granite, 259
The strangest thing happened to me today. As I was hanging out in the graveyard with Edem the other mechanic, a strange, calm clarity came upon me. I realized that this must be stopped. I will not let this travesty continue! I will claim the position of Overseer. It now falls to me to bring these ruins back to full blossom. Where others have failed, I will succeed. I will bring Markedangels the Waters of Living back to glory, or die trying!
3nd Granite, 259
What have I gotten myself into? It's too late to back down now. I talked to xczxc, who gave me a pile of journals and notes, among them also rough sketches of the layout of the fort. It seems that the fort is even more of maze (of pure, utter insanity) than I thought, and I have only dared explore the sanest parts. I must pore over these documents, now...

16th Granite, 259
Let's see. I've ordered the stairways to be broadened, so everybody can go side by side instead of the other one having to crawl. I've ordered some clothes to be made, since some members of the militia have been embarrassed by their own nudity. Also, I am continuing the secret project begun by xczxc, the Zombienihilator. According to the journals, projects such as this seem to have a rather poor track record, which is why I ordered a stopper to be constructed after the actual contraption in order to make sure that none of the monsters ever reach their goal - us.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/02_zombienihilator_stopper.png)
Otherwise, we are quite well. Most industries have been set up. Our food and drink supplies are more than adequate. What is missing, is the host of skilled labourers - their bodies now lie strewn across the surface, or are even now skulking in the sealed corridors, vying for our flesh. Ugh, those corridors, they're not much more than nasty crawl-spaces, twisty and narrow. I may wish to expand them, once I have more labour force.
17th Granite
I've found something interesting among the stack of journals: they mention a strange phenomenon in the aquifer - an everflowing little current.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/03_aquifer_fun.png)
Another damn drain on the fps, if you ask me.
Last night, I dreamed of the Catapult, but I can't remember the actual dream, though it was horrifying. I think this place is starting to get to me.

Oh no! More migrants - they're doomed! Unless...
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/04_doomed_migrants.png)
I have heard the latest progress report on the zombienihilator, and I deem it operational. I have decided to open it. I am burrowing myself and some other critical members of staff inside the panic room, where the controls to the machine are. May the Catapult help us...

We are struck by another calamity! The forgotten beast Leto Kastrolbudzu has come over our walls in the cavern! It is only a pile of mud with wings on it, but it spews endless amounts of thick web! This will not end well...
Happyjoy! A raw recruit managed to clip its wings, and its body was quickly destroyed. The joy of victory was overshadowed, however, by a restless spirit, Meng the Wrestler.

Some of the pilgrims must be insane. Talking to some newcomers, I heard that some of them are fighting each other up there. Three dwarves with crossbows have ganged up on one of the other brave souls. Their trek must have been harsh also on the mind.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/11_madness.png)
It is good to hear that some of the monsters are in a really poor shape. Some are so full of bolts that they resemble porcupines more than... whatever they used to be. Others are utterly maimed, limbless and helpless.

Post by: Chilton on June 19, 2012, 08:13:49 pm
The situation is manageable at the moment. The dangerous ones are actually fighting each other. There's a trio of one yak, one bull and one wrestler constantly fighting. There are some others, too.If you do hack the items on the surface out, just be bloody careful you only get items and not Zombies :)

We could gain a lot from high fps, specially motivated players. I'm still waiting for the messiah who will bring the great Markedangel's minecart highway to the fort. I'll miss the corpse-and-weapon-plagued fields, though. They bring a certain atmosphere I really enjoy.It would be a shame to lose the mess, but this lag is gonna get worse before it gets better. Itd be ok if we could keep the corpses, its just the items. The sheer number of clothes, and junk.
Anyway. A Minecart Highway would still be amazing :)

The topside dwarves are still fighting each other. Perhaps they have received a vision from the Catapult to struggle for glory between each other? Fortunately, also the monsters are fighting each other.
I found something today that made me gasp for air. I am both so overjoyed and so dismayed that I find it hard to keep myself in check. An adamantine... spiked ball? At first I thought that I was dreaming, but then I realized that there was no adamantine barrel of sunshine in my lap.

The "outpost liaison" that's been hanging here has finally dared to enter the fortress. By the Catapult, has he been here for half a year!? I doubt he'll be able to accommodate our needs, but I asked for some steel bars, anyway.
2nd Felsite
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/17_first_error.png)
Oh no! The project! You fools, I said channels, not ramps! Now that floor is flooding. Quickly, we must protect the forge! Build walls, or die trying!
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/18_price.png)
Too late for the project, but just in time to save the forges. One of the fools has paid the ultimate price. I hope he rots in some hell.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/18_price_paid.png)
10th Felsite
The work on the project progresses only very slowly. Our miners slack every chance they get. The manufactury of the other critical items is also progressing with alarming sloth. I wonder if it will be ready even with a full year of work on it...
The only bits of news that have broken the tedium of Markedangels is that some pilgrim child wandered under our drawbridges. Poor fool. Also, another cloud has drifted to us, topside.
11th Felsite
Oh no. Now the dwarves decided to fill a finished goods 'pile in the forbidden parts with some old socks! A quick word sent them scurrying back.
12th Felsite
Now some of those 'pilers are going back topside to "clean". What's there to clean? Sand? Bird shit? I haven't seen the surface in a while now, but back then it was just a heap of blood and vomit. I suspect there is more to this than simple ardor. Perhaps they wish to leave? The temptation to activate the zombienihilator is great, but instead I will just ban all cleaning in the fort. I'd wager that it makes no real difference in this little heap of steaming hot dog droppings.

A mob of angry goblins has arrived! I counted around 70.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/19_siege.png)
They must surely be out of their minds, for the sanctum of the Catapult cannot be defiled by such unworthy creatures. Even the evil mists seems to protect us, but the goblin scum blithely resumed their march for our rather unassuming entrance.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/21_idiotic_bravery.png)
As a personal token of my appreciation, I ordered the passageway to be sealed. The filthy troupe promptly buggered off after some maimed monster -- perhaps a horse foal or a cavy pup. I hear unending sounds of fighting up there. There were some reports of the goblins attacking the monsters, of which I am glad. Let them first destroy the monsters and later we'll deal with the actual goblins.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/20_sweet.png)
19th Felsite
Topside, he fighting still continues. I can hear the goblins screaming with anger, but I can't comprehend their speech. One of our more learned dwarves told me that most of the screams were "why won't you die" or "die die die die die" or some other variation of the same idea. Serves them right.
I just received a report of another twisted beast in the caverns. I couldn't make heads or tails of the description, so I'm just writing it down word for word:
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/22_filth.png)
A skinny pile of shit on four legs?
Also, the project demands more copper, which means that we must have more tetrahedrite. I have ordered a new tunnel dug for prospecting in the shoreline shale, hopefully above the aquifer.
23th Felsite
Still fighting. The constant noise is haunting my dreams, even though it can't possibly reach the cavernous deeps. The "miners" finally reached the shale. How can they be so slow about it?
27th Felsite
Fighting. The prospectors found a cache of tetrahedrite! Now the project may continue...

The mining has finally begun. Here is a sketch of Olon the Beekeeper mining and Ineth the Peasant hauling. Magnificent!

The goblin force has abandoned the siege, leaving behind injured soldiers. Now the monstrous yak is *pushing* one to death...
15th Hematite
Another cloud of smoke. Otherwise uneventful. Some goblins still remain, and then there are the trolls... They just linger by an abandoned trade depot, underground. The mining goes on, the hauling goes on, the smelting goes on, the project goes on.
17th Hematite
Curse our luck! We are beset by trolls; they were merely feigning interest in our archtectural marvels. Now they have breached a door to get to us! They are in!

(The script changes from the careful, deliberate hand of Vodrilus III to a more reckless and messy one.)
The Journal of Vodrilus IV Medtoblitast, Overseer
18th Hematite
Vodrilus III Koganlelum has been struck down, and I, Vodrilus IV Medtoblitast, live. I now take my rightful place as Overseer.
19th Hematite
A dwarf has been possessed by unknown powers! He stares into the distance with glassy eys and mutters "Agsal Rilem", drool falling from his mouth. He demands things, but doesn't make any sense. Now is not the time to play "guess what I want" games!
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/27_possession.png (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/27_possession.png)
What now? The mayor wants someone to construct a crown!? That bastard! We have better things to do.
21st Hematite
The trolls are no more. We have decided to throw their corpses down into the magma sea. One axedwarf and two raw recruits also fell; no substantial loss to the fort there. xczxc was also wounded, and lies incapacitated by the pain. Vodrilus III will have a tomb, even if it will be rather small. I'll dig it out myself if I have to.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/28_tomb.png)
Done.
22nd Hematite
While gathering up the notes of my predecessor, I found a point of interest... a particular project... Intriguing.
The peasant sits inside the workshop, shaking and drooling, babbling on about that "Agsal Rilem". He seems to want bone, but there is precious little of it handy, all at his disposal. Still, he doesn't budge to get it. Fool.
The other dwarves gave me quite a stare when I gave the order to wall him in, just in case. They know nothing.
24th Hematite
We are now swimming in copper. The project goes according to the old plan. The mechanics will take a while to get their job done, but otherwise we are rolling.

6th Malachite
We are bogged down by the loss of many talented dwarves. The hospital is full, giving our less-than-skilled healer a few months worth of work. I hope too many won't succumb to infection. xczxc seems to be receiving treatment at the moment.
-------------------------
The FPS is quite daunting, it once plunged at 3, but was quickly restored to the stable 4 that I've been getting. The project continues.
Also, I'm listening to the SC2 protoss soundtrack while playing. Suits Markedangels pretty well.
I think I'll get the next update out on sunday, since I'll be out in the periphery for a few days (once again).

A rewritten and more compact version of Markedangels(without all the "pro"-wrestling) could very well be the greatest idea since someone decided that flooding the entire world with lava was the correct way to counter a herd of malicious elephants.
But I was planning on having ALL of the in these sections in between chapters called "The weird bickerings of the Markedangels Residents, and Their gradual descent into Insanity."

Both xczxc and vodrilus have been adding these mysterious conspiracies, such as
26th Hematiteand
I have discovered another journal among the possesions of my predecessor. It is hidden within a schist puzzlebox, and filled with paranoid rantings about some conspiracy regarding -- wait, I'm not going to write that down. Someone might find this journal, too. If you do, I'll probably be dead by then.
I had a feeling that there was something shady about his death, even then. Now I am certain of it. Someone must have bated the trolls in and left the doors ajar. There is no other explanation.[/spoiler]
I'm starting to suspect there is something going on with the dwarves. My search and rescue team didn't find Cain III, but they discovered some interesting information. The lever that caused the bridge catastrophe wasn't pulled accidentally, it was a murder. They found a strange drawing of a catapult next to it. I've told the team to have the uttermost caution with this...we don't know who might be hearing.
Any connection?
Where are you going with this?
And what role does the sacred catapult play in it all?!

I really hope you manage to make something awsome out of it, but afterall it's up to the game :P

As you say, it's a bit too early to say how the plot is going to twist and turn, since it has a lot to do with how my secret project works out. [/troll]

11th Malachite
The horror! A child has been mol- no, he was only battered by an evil spirit, I hear. He lost his right leg.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/30_spectral_battery.png)
I talked with the boy, but he said that everything was rather peachy. He says he has always wanted to learn how to use a crutch. What is he drinking?
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/31_meh.png)
This time, it was a ghostly ranger... I ordered a slab engraved immediately. We'll see how many will die before that.

13th Malachite
A drifting cloud of evil smoke breaks the hum-drum of constant, back-breaking work. Oh, the horrors that haunt the surroundings...
Also, a gray langur woman was seen (through the secret peepholes), stealing a huge silver sword from amongst the topside mess. She (it?) will probably get away with it, I think. It makes no real difference; the surface is cursed.

15th Malachite
And now the troll corpses are rotting, and in the memorial hall, of all places. The stench is unbelievable. Why isn't this job finished already?

1st Galena
The work is gruelingly slow due to the high number of incapacitated workers. Still, we push on through, for we will emerge victorious over our enemy.
5th Galena
The possessed dwarf is no longer possessed. As the (evil?) spirit left him, he lost his will to live. Just as well. I'll order the wall to be struck down, so he can go toss himself into the searing sea.
6th Galena
The spectral ranger is content with his memorial, and has now stopped bothering us.

15th Galena
Another ambush. Couldn't help but laugh when I heard more reports about the goblins trying to kill the undying rabbit. Ha ha ha.
20th Galena
Lokum the Mason died of dehydration while hospitalized. Apparently no-one noticed her before it was too late. We commit her body to the red-hot sea of rock.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/39_dump.png)
25th Galena
Another dead in the hospital! Athel the Peasant, this time. He also was never given water. I would have thought the others might have been more vigilant after the first one!

The catapult conspiracy is taking form, or is it just the shadows playing with the dwarves' heads? Markedangels can be claustrophobic, and as I recall, the late xczxc, before stepping out, suffered from cabin fever and became paranoid. He started seeing signs where there weren't any...

The journal of Vodrilus IV Medtoblitast, Overseer
2nd Limestone
A baby has died of thirst. How unpleasant. The remains will be given to the deep sea of fire, as usual.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/42_tiny_death.png)
Another one is also near death. That formerly possessed dwarf. Poor Udib.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/43_near_death.png)
Spoiler: The secret journal of Vodrilus IV Medtoblitast, Overseer (click to show/hide)
10th Limestone
Olon the "z baby" is throwing a party. What on earth is a "z baby"? Must be a whim of one of the other Overseers.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/47_zbaby_party.png)
20th Limestone
More pilgrims to Markedangels, the Shrine of the Catapult! I must rush to open the main gate!
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/48_migrants.png)
We under the earth are 38. Let us see how many will come to swell our numbers.
21st Limestone
I have heard reports of at least five immigrants struggling to get to us. They seem to be scared of the monsters. Fortunately, the monsters are just as scared of them.
22nd Limestone
They are now making their way inside. There are six of them. Particularly noteworthy are Uvash the talented armorer and Nomal the great mason. Most of them also know how to fight. Handy. Overall, I am overjoyed with the increased workforce. We've been stretched to the limit, what with all that hassle after the troll attack.
23rd Limestone
One of the pilgrims was trying the old "went cleaning outside" -trick. Fortunately, he was stopped by the sight of one of those maimed monsters, and came running back home; "the frost drives the piglets back home".
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/49_cleaner.png)
25th Limestone
Another terrible monster has arrived!
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/50_forg_duck.png)
We see that it can fly, so we'll just hope it won't get here before we've sealed the main cavern floor. (Which should have been done months ago. What happened?)
We also see that Nunore the flaming cavy is also waiting behind our walls, probably drawn to us by our delicious scent.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/51_cavy.png)
The new twisted monster is nowhere to be seen at the moment. No doubt it is contemplating its next move within its warped mind. Where did it go?
26th Limestone
A masterpiece by Uvash the Armorer! Apparently, he likes helms.

I have sent a small mining expedition down to the lower abandoned mines. Perhaps we may still find useful ores. Ineth has been sent to survey the area.

2nd Sandstone
Oh no! Ineth stumbled upon the old tunnels, but ran back, raving and babbling about evil beings. Fortunately, we have installed a hatch as a safety measure, along with a cave-in plug. We will just have to wait and see...
Spoiler: The secret journal of Vodrilus IV Medtoblitast, Overseer (click to show/hide)
8th Sandstone
Amongst all the anxiety and horror, the death of Udib the Melancholy Peasant has not gone unnoticed. Perhaps this is an omen: Our depressing past is now gone, and a happier future lies ahead.
9th Sandstone
Oh no! Urdim has left the second hatch open, allowing the entrance of one demon! (I should have guessed that fools nature by his name.) We must try to survive! I am sending all able-bodied fighters down to save the hatch. The hatch is key!
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/59_fumble.png)
Kiltin the Mayor is the first to reach the demon.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/60_kiltin_destiny.png)
An epic battle ensued, but as Kiltin was not only unarmored, but also unarmed, he had no real chance.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/61_epic_death.png)
Thus he is also the first to be struck down. Somehow, the hatch won't stay closed!! And now the lever-pulling has stopped! What is going on? Who is sabotaging us??
10th Sandstone
I have ordered a miner to pull the lever, with satisfying results. I hope we can destroy the remaining demons with pure physical force.
At least dwarves 12 dead now. Now 14. 15. 16.
The fort is safe for now, but the cost is high. 17 dead. We will need slabs.
17th Sandstone
A week has passed since revealing the Perforator project. The populace is surprisingly content -- not a single tantrum yet. Also, after a brief look at the reports, we see that the Perforator performed well; it destroyed over 20 demons. The project was a great success.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/62_aperture_science.png)
One issue with the Perforator was the need of constant lever-pulling. I may devise some kind of an automatic repeater, but I am not certain how that should work.
On a different note, the water in the caverns seems to have gone mad. It has stopped moving. Perhaps this has something to do with the unnatural essence of the demons? Or is there something even more sinister at hand?

19th Sandstone
A monster with quite a name.

24th Sandstone
Our new mayor, Nil Rithmebzuth, has issued his first mandate.

I see that he wants chains. That Nil...
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/66_chains.png)
After a moment of thought I find this rather fortunate since Datan, our new captain, has been worried about our lack of prison cells. Therefore it might be wise to obey the mandate (this time, at least). I have sent Datan himself to forge those chains, since we have no skilled metalcrafters. He was happy to oblige.

We need more pilgrims. Perhaps we should (scratched out) Yes, we will find more sacred adamantine in the tunnels. Selling it may not be the best use for it, but in this situation we probably need all the fame we can possibly garner.

A kobold tried to infiltrate our fortress, but was quickly discovered. I arranged a little betting on his chances against the zombienihilator stopper. Unfortunately it got away, and I lost a really nice sock.
5th Moonstone
The mines are now clear of all demons. Good old trusty copper.
9th Moonstone
I have sent Ineth the Peasant down to carve a stairway through the adamantine vein so that we may get a good glimpse at the point of origin of these demonic creatures. He's getting pretty good at digging.

it's like a community driven thing(on a russian forum?)
I really like the idea but alot of the story gets lost in translation...
So I was thinking of doing something similar were an illustrated story would be moved forward by input from the community.
It would of course be in the df-universe(slightly tweaked) and you're free to do whatever you want. I'm leaning towards a less serious version were engaging in a political discussion with the mayor is just as feasible as throwing your excrements at him.
So I'm kinda throwing the idea out there to get some response-

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=109582.msg3287237#msg3287237 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=109582.msg3287237#msg3287237)
it's like a community driven thing(on a russian forum?)
I really like the idea but alot of the story gets lost in translation...
So I was thinking of doing something similar were an illustrated story would be moved forward by input from the community.
It would of course be in the df-universe(slightly tweaked) and you're free to do whatever you want. I'm leaning towards a less serious version were engaging in a political discussion with the mayor is just as feasible as throwing your excrements at him.
So I'm kinda throwing the idea out there to get some response-
Think it would be cool? Would you read it and give some input? What part of the forum should I post it in? Want me to give an example?
I like to picture myself as quite the verbal induvidual however you've just left me speechless.

----------------------------
12th Moonstone
Datan, our captain takes on Dorku, the huge eyeless duck! He is helped by some of the more aggressive animals, the turkeys.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/75_turkey_fight.png)
The battle rages on, while the rest of the fort tries to stay out of the way, skittering away from even a glimpse of the mighty duck. Our ancestral memory tells us that this beast's blood is deadly. We await with great anxiety its effects.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/76_blood_will_out.png)
Inod the Speardwarf is kicked with such power that he slams straight into a wall! There he lies, unconscious from the pain.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/77_hard_one.png)
Datan looks badly feverish, but is holding his own.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/78_tainted_blood.png)
Our cuts only scratch the beasts skin. We must rush him now if we seek to destroy it. That means absolutely everyone. Except the kids. Children do as they please.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/79_first.png)
Now Nomal. The duck kicked the Macedwarf in the head with its foot, braining him. The blow sent the lifeless body flying into a wall.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/80_blows.png)
14th
Not all seem to have heard the summons, since only a few dwarves actually fight the creature. This must be mutiny!
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/81_mayor_the_man.png)
Nil the mayor is valiantly trying to hold a diplomatic meeting with the "outpost liaison". How brave of him.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/82_yes_we_can.png)
While we get slaughtered down here, the merchants sit idly in the depot, admiring the fine trinkets we traded them. Damn cowards!
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/83_idlin.png)
The creepy crutch kid is partying. What is going on? [Damn, not supposed to be Slowpokez III.]
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/84_idlin2.png)
We are getting desperate. The monster gored Cog the dog with its horns, braining him and sending him skidding across the floor.
Also, apparently the "outpost liaison" wasn't happy with the delayed meeting. He gave us one of the universal signs and left. Typical.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/86_priorities.png)
That's it! We have no chance against that monster. Down to the sealable emergency room. We must escape!
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/87_losing.png)
15th
We are dropping like flies! We even lost Edem the Legendary Mechanic!
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/88_falling.png)
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/89_floor_space.png)
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/90_gored_to_death.png)
There, that lever!
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/91_safety_first.png)
Hurry! Hurry!
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/92_me_n_kids.png)
xczxc, that blessed dwarf, has brought a weapon bin with him into the safe room!
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/93_clever_clever_xczxc.png)
16th
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/94_last_show.png)
The first to enter combat with the beast, Datan is now also the last. Winded, bruised, fevered he stared down at the monstrous creature. As it had no eyes, the monster could not stare back. Nonetheless Datan felt it watching him, wheighing him. Datan flew at the monster in a frenzy, landing blow after blow, but to no effect. Effortlessly, the duck snatched Datan's right upper arm with its beak, ripping it off clean. It took hold of him with its wing, but he slipped away.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/96_bruised.png)
With barely enough time to gather his wits, Datan saw the mighty beast charging at him. They tumbled down, and in the tumult Datan's left foot was destroyed by the beast's horn. The beast wrestled with the captain, pinning him down with a wing, shattering the left elbow. Bleeding, broken and feverish the captain opened his eyes long enough to see a terrible maw coming down on his head. He was no more.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/98_pull.png)
We pulled the lever. The mechanisms rattled and clicked and then... silence.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/100_top_collapse.png)
A cold dread creeps into our hearts; did no-one link this lever? Our horror is broken by a terrible, booming crash that could be nothing other than a cave-in.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/101_bottom_collapse.png)
Shocked and stunned we were, but ecstatic. Praise the Catapult! It worked, and we are now safe!
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/102_sealed.png)
A silence fell among us, and we watched each other. How long would we have to spend stuck in here, together? The five of us and a bunch of kids.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/104_new_world.png)
It is strange. Somehow I feel happier than ever before.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/103_ecstasy.png)
This was meant to happen. The Catapult has lead us here. Like a catapult slings missiles hard and far, so are we flinged into this adventure. This is our place. Let us do what only dwarves can do: Strike the earth!
Outside, the beast must prowl; we could only scratch it.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/105_invulnerable.png)
Fortunately, we can no longer hear it raging.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/106_relief.png)
19th Moonstone
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/107_sorry_little_company.png)
The first thing is food. We must start growing some pretty soon, or we will soon face famine.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/107b_hungry.png)
24th Moonstone
There is no food, and there will be none. I was trying to start up farming with a bit of irrigation, but then it hit me: We have no seeds in here. How can we be so stupid? No, we were not meant to stay here.
The choices are grim: Will we remain here and be reduced to first eating our pets, and then each other? Or will we dig out and take our chances with that beast. I really have no idea...
25th Moonstone
After a long and heated discussion, we decided to put the matter to a vote by pebbles: diorite for 'dig', slate for 'stay'. In addition to the rat skull we discovered in the vote pot, we fortunately found also two bits of slate and three of diorite. We will dig. May the Catapult save us!
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/108_breach.png)
Ineth the miner hesitated to dig for a few times, but eventually got the job done. We were greeted by a queer silence.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/109_too_hungry.png)
But the time for hesitation had gone, and the race for the food stockpile had begun. We faced a truly horrific sight: dead everywhere. Only we are left, and a peasant who was resting in the hospital.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/110_corpses.png)
We were surprised to find the beast dead, apparently killed by the merchant guards. One of them had carved a few runes next to the carcass: "Easy as pie." Bastards.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/111_vengeance.png)
We soldier on, the five of us. The injured peasant doesn't count, since he does nothing but cry for someone to feed and water him.
This will not end well.

Also, I'm particularly pissed off about that forgotten beast getting in, since I had a really good thing going there. There were a lot of demons left to slaughter, but I can't seem to get lever-pullers to do the job, since they're too busy hauling their dead friends' socks. That'll probably have to wait until we get some more migrants. Aaaand that'll probably happen on the next player's turn (if my 4fps ever get us there).

Post by: slowpokez on July 13, 2012, 05:30:21 pm
The duck used to look a bit more dramatic in my mind. Now I can't shake your... err... 'kid mode' interpretation? Imagine seeing that in some video game ment for 7-year olds. It is hilarious, however.1. It's a yellow duck...what did ya expect?

EDIT2: YESSS!!! I've managed to plod through the year with 4-5 fps. I could upload the save and write up the last bits, but the time is 2:43 (as in, in the middle of the night) over here. Which means that I won't do that today, but tomorrow with a fresh set of eyes. No, wait, that's actually today. :P

The journal of Vodrilus IV Medtoblitast, Overseer
10th Opal
The work is grueling. The five of us are breaking our backs every day under the sheer multitude of jobs at hand. Now the corpses of our comrades are beginning to rot. No celebration, I tell you...
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/112_rot.png)
20th Opal
Otherwise pretty uneventful, but we are further hampered by the evil blood of the beast. Obok the Creepy Kid is taken by a fever after crawling through it. I wonder if I should allow cleaning jobs once again. Nah.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/113_fever_creepy.png)
14th Obsidian
Finally, we have cleared the fort of all rotting body parts. Now we must make sure that we survive this. There is sufficient food and drink, so we can wait for another batch of pilgrims. If any are left. We watch. We wait.
16th Obsidian
A small group of ash and salt demons has come to investigate the Perforator. I must find someone to man the lever.
17th Obsidian
Finally we have someone operating the Perforator lever again! Heave! We
18th Obsidian
Another group of demons was destroyed. Who would've thought that lever-pulling could be so satisfying?
23rd Obsidian
Today was a really bad day.
I knew something was about, when xczxc kept following me and pestered me with pointless questions. I promptly ignored him and tried to get on with my job. I didn't get very far, since he slapped some manacles on me and took me away.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/115_degradation.png)
I've been stripped of my position as captain of guard and hammerer! Needless to say, I'm no longer the Overseer. When I asked xczxc what the charges against me were, he promptly replied: two counts of murder.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/114_judging.png)
What is the meaning of this? 401 days!? That's more than a year! And I wasn't even here when those poor bastards were killed; I just arrived this year to marvel the Catapult! This whole thing has backfired in a rather diabolical way.
xczxc left, chuckling into his beard, wishing me good luck in getting fed and watered. That bastard! I'll wring his neck once I get out.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/116_got_company.png)
Now my only company is that weird old ghost of some old Hammer Lord. He just stares at me with a dull look in his eyes. Nothing scary.
25th Obsidian
Another visitor in my dreary prison. A cat on my bed. I don't really like cats, but any company is welcome right now. He purs nice, when I pet him.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/117_more_company.png)
399 days left.
26th Obsidian
A few dwarves were visiting the well today, and I managed to overhear a bit of news.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/118_news.png)
One of the kids has reached the ripe old age of 12, and is now suddenly able to take on all possible jobs in the fortress. Also, Mafol the milker has been missing for a week now. I remember that he had been feverish for a while, but I have no idea where he could've gone. 398 days left.
27th Obsidian
Ach, they found that milker. Dehydrated, with an empty bucket by his side. Strangely reminiscent, isn't it?
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/122_another.png)
397 days left.
28th Obsidian
The last day of the year. Sad. I had great plans for this place, but now we are reduced to five useful dwarves and a bunch of kids. My imprisonment isn't helping, either. This journal is now all that I have left of my time as Overseer, inherited from my predecessor. I am now reduced to talking with that damn ghost.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/119_we.png)
He seems to understand by pain, since he also is a prisoner of sorts. He never speaks, but is better company than the statue. He looks pretty imposing with that dinted armor and worn warhammer. Every day I see something new in him.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/120_him.png)
Perhaps I am slowly going mad? Not yet, I think, since I can still make perfect sense of this journal. Also, my writings also still seem quite sane.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/121_I.png)
396 days left.
1st Granite
'Tis spring.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/123_spring_sprang.png)
395 days left.
-----------------------
It's done. To quote the words of George R. R. Martin... "This one was a bitch." Not the actual play, but that damn lag. Ugh!
Here's the link (http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=6659) to the save.
The year is 260, 1st Granite.
If you have any questions regarding the place, do ask... unless you wish to work everything out by yourself. :P
EDIT: I need to play some Mass Effect right now...

By the way Vodrilus, read the title page again.

Markedangels is a really interesting place but the lag is still, well, mortifying. I'll be satisfied with just watching and posting in-character journal entries (or something totally antithetical to pro-wrestling, like this (http://youtu.be/r4zvjV4_sAY)). I will definitely not take another turn before I've forgotten how evil that 4-5fps was. But we'll have to see about that forgetting business in a few turns.

2.That's cool but stick around n show some intrest by as you said add some bio to the characters and maybe some crappy paint-engravings... Gotta restore this sh*t to it's former glory were every charcater had like pages of back-story(until Chilton killed em) :P

Sometimes I think of buying a new laptop, but my miser's heart gets the better of me. I'm surprised that my current one has lasted as long as it has, even though it's a cheap model from a cheap line on sale. I guess I should also play the lottery.
Post by: slowpokez on July 14, 2012, 07:11:59 pm
That's horrible :( I can't say that I dont have df installed on my laptop but that's only for emergencies such as if my house were to burn down or if I was stuck in a well.
In conclusion: get a desktop.

I believe this might be related to my attempts at reducing lag by hacking unnecessary surface items into bit-hell. (I recall that this was deemed acceptable.) I'd venture a guess that the legends viewer considers smoke zombies to actually still be dwarves, and some cages that were accidentally (how convenient is that?) designated for autodump also contained some zombies, resulting in a sudden spike of dwarf death. Plausible? 8)

Btw, it was a pity that the Zombienihilator was never truly finished. Would have save a lot of lever-pulling.
Post by: slowpokez on July 15, 2012, 06:41:41 pm
At the time many outpost were being ravaged by the emerging darkness and we feared for our safety...it was the magmaflooding at Badgerhills that made us take action.
We arrived during the time-period whenMarkedangels were besieged by undead wrestlers...I have no memory of our arrival but as I woke up in the dirty hole that supposedly is MarkedangelsI was briefly informed of my fathers death...I lived with my aunt but she was caught in a neverending state of depression...
(http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc401/zlowpoke/timmy.jpg)
The following years were filled by nothing but death and hardship. Soon Markedangels had not only claimed my father but also my legs...
My hatred for the place grew as I knew that all this misery could've been prevented if it weren't for the long line of incompetent rulers...I've seen them all reaching for that seat of power as it's the only way to assure your safety down here but time and time again I've seen how their selfish plans all led to the death of others...
I knew that others shared my pain but I could never reach them...not only was I of tender age but also a cripple...a burden to the fort.
But as I heard of "The cult of the catapult" a plan started forming in my head.
At first noone knew my identity and I controlled the cult from behind the scenes...
Convincing people to join was easy since in a world so dark and twisted everyone seek something to believe in...
But there are still many potential hindrances who had to be removed. Those who founded the settlement still hold a lot power and is regarded as heros by many...
However one overseer was getting too close to the truth and had to be...exterminated
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
As the power of the catapult grew so did mine. In the year of 259 the cult had so many followers that I felt safe to let out my identity to a few loyalists. They then carried out the work that I was incapable of doing.
However the new overseer was on my track...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I had underesimated him as he soon found the lost journal...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
He was a careful man and made all plans of assassination impossible...
Careful or paranoid...hard to tell
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
He knows too much...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I even had to kill one of my followers as the overseer had taken a particularly intrest in him...poor waxworker.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
He is still in a state of confusion and we will do all in our might to keep him that way...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Soon I realised that I had underestimated him again...he knew everything
Even...my identity!
But how...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
My heart filled with fear, would all that we've worked for be lost? Because in a fight we'd surely be outnumbered...
I begged to Armok for guidence, for days i prayed for his advise...and in the end I was possessed by unknown forces...
Maybe he rewarded me for my loyal belief or maybe he only wished for more blood to be spilled...
The tool I'd been given was the trumpet of nightmares, a tool of torture capable of braking even the strongest minds...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The sound kept my enemy at bay but what I did'nt know was that it had awakened something deep below the fort...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
So much blood...
But we can't give up now.
We're so close to achieving control of the fort.
The overseer was weak. The many deaths he had just witnessed during his rule and the insanity in his dreams was too much.
But so were my forces...a majority of them had been crushed during the recent chaos...
It was up to me to finish him off.
But unfortunatly my plan required someone to give up their life for the sake of our goals.
The part fell on my poor aunt who had gone mute long ago from grief...
She didn't even cry when I smothered her...she just looked at me with her sad eyes...
The rest was easy. The captain of the guard down here is nothing more then a stupid farmer. She believed my story and was soon on her way to pay the overseer a visit.

I talked with the boy, but he said that everything was rather peachy. He says he has always wanted to learn how to use a crutch. What is he drinking?

This time, it was a ghostly ranger... I ordered a slab engraved immediately. We'll see how many will die before that.
there are still multiple ghosts in his room...One of them is lying in/under his bed...

How the fuck did this happen?Ah, yes. There was some random corpse stockpile (my goodness, it's hard to spell that one; it's always either stocpile or sockpile), but the dwarves were a bit too keen to haul all that random stuff into the upper stockpiles, so I removed them all. Gives a nice, abandoned atmosphere going on up there.
is it a graveyard? The lack of coffins tells me otherwise but... I dunno
As to the tour, oh yes.

Most of the corpses have already desiccated into skeletons, so there's n fear of miasma. I believe there are no necromancer towers around, since none have shown up as of yet. Or have we been constantly under 80 dwarves? We have gotten sieges, right? ???

SLOWPOKE! Did You play too much DF, and become a Dorf temporarily, then go on a Biting/Sock Throwing Rampage in a public place again?No no no no, I only do that on holidays.

Well, I might finish the tour some other time but I think it's time for a small update instead :)
As if we didn't have enough trouble with zombies, forgotten beasts, tantrums, Chilton and demons we recently had to add the plauge to the list.
-People are having fever all over the place...I came so close to victory only to be brought down by a mere sickness. What kind of sick game is Armok playing!?
(This is probably fb related, however I can't track anything since everyone is completly covered in the blood and extracts of multiple fbs...
Wtf is this bs!? Fck normal updates!

(http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc401/zlowpoke/t1.gif)1
In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning (For about a month)
And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be -- (trumpet of nightmares?)
It scared me out of my wits --
My corpse falling to bits! (lost my legs, hands in bad shape)
Then I opened my eyes
And the nightmare was...me!!
I was once the most mystical man in all Markedangels. (unknown identity)
When the overseers betrayed me they made a mistake! (Xczxc, V, .etc
My curse made each of them pay (all dead and V in jail)
But one little thing still stand in my way- (changed some lyrics here to make sense.)
My minions, prepare!
'Catapult's awake!
(http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc401/zlowpoke/t4.gif)2
In the dark of the night evil will find you
In the dark of the night just before dawn!
Aah...
Revenge will be sweet
When the curse is complete!
In the dark of the night...
They'll be gone!
(http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc401/zlowpoke/t2.gif)3
I can feel that my powers are slowly returning! (fever disappered)
Tie my splint and a hint of cologne for that smell! ( exchanged "sash and dash" for "splint and hint")
AS the pieces fall into place
I'll take control of this place! (u gotta admit that WAS pretty genius)
Zombies, Demons, your grace, fareweeEEEEll! (your grace has to be V as in last overseer)
(http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc401/zlowpoke/t3.gif)4
^^^(demons+the perforator)^^^
In the dark of the night terror will strike you!
Terror's the least we can do!
In the dark of the night evil will brew.
Ooh!
Soon they will feel that their nightmares are real.
In the dark of the night
They'll be through!
In the dark of the night
Evil will find you
Find you!
Ooh!
In the dark of the night terror comes true.
Doom you!
(http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc401/zlowpoke/T5.gif)5
My dear, here's a sign --(duh)
It's the end of the line!
In the dark of the night...
In the dark of the night...
In the dark of the night...
Come my minions,
Rise for your master,
Let your evil shine!
Find them now,
Yes, move ever faster (gobbo sounds)
(http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc401/zlowpoke/t6.gif)6
In the dark of the night...
In the dark of the night...
In the dark of the night...
They'll be Crushed!(like your hopes and dreams)
If you managed to sing the whole thing in the appropriate vioces I lift my hat and bow before you :D
If you dislike guides, movies and songs just tell me and I'll get on with a more "regular" update.

However as a Markedangels theme-song it is my humble opinion that this song might be more accurate-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8cELTdtw6U (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8cELTdtw6U)
Involves the digging of holes and building a wall to avoid an outside threat.

12th Moonstone
Datan, our captain takes on Dorku, the huge eyeless duck! He is helped by some of the more aggressive animals, the turkeys.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/75_turkey_fight.png)
The battle rages on, while the rest of the fort tries to stay out of the way, skittering away from even a glimpse of the mighty duck. Our ancestral memory tells us that this beast's blood is deadly. We await with great anxiety its effects.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/76_blood_will_out.png)
Inod the Speardwarf is kicked with such power that he slams straight into a wall! There he lies, unconscious from the pain.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/77_hard_one.png)
Datan looks badly feverish, but is holding his own.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/78_tainted_blood.png)
Our cuts only scratch the beasts skin. We must rush him now if we seek to destroy it. That means absolutely everyone. Except the kids. Children do as they please.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/79_first.png)
Now Nomal. The duck kicked the Macedwarf in the head with its foot, braining him. The blow sent the lifeless body flying into a wall.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/Vodrilus/80_blows.png)
As you can see, most of the fever blood is directly on the path to the well. Time for traffic designations?

Soon slowpoke finds himself staring into his fridge without being able to remember what he came there to get. He quickly scans the room for eventual clues, he doesn't notice anything that could help him but he realises that he is only wearing one sock...A closer inspection has him puzzled as the sock is gray and pink- these are not slowpokes usual sock-colors. Where did it come from and...His thoughts gets interupted by the fridge alarm as he has now been staring into it's cold depths for more then a minute. Before he is able to decide upon a new activity his phone rings- it's someone whom slowpoke does not consider a friend of his but she consider slowpoke a friend of hers. She is one of those people who talk a lot but says nothing, Slowpoke decides to fck the system by putting away the phone and letting his couch listen to what she has to say for a moment. As his mind slowly drifts away from the immediate present it returns to the subject of his mysterious sock. A second detail that seperates this sock from his other socks is the fact that it's very small, clearly deisgned for women or children. Slowpoke feels like he is getting closer to the truth but before he is able to make any grand revelation he remebers that he is supposed to be talking with someone. The lady had already hung up and left an angry text, well sh*t happens.
Slowpoke now rests in an unspecified place for an unspecified amount of time but upon his return to the bedroom he does not only find the pink socks twin but also a bottle of Smirnoff. When he attempts to reunite the two socks he notices that during his travel from the unspecified place to his bedroom he had lost the other half of the pair. Slowpoke decides to not grieve over such trivial matters, instead he lights a smoke and returns to b12.
Normal update.
Everyone has the duck-plague.
As you know Kid is up walkin, ready to take over the world.
Doc managed to fix up Bane who quickly founded- The lovely palisade- a one-man squad.

Los... Loco... Llamas?An almost lethal dose of caffeine, some mandatory nicotine, b12, acetaldehyde(processed alcohol), Tetrahydrocannabinol combined with a little sleep deprivation. I might also add that for you to achieve the same state of insanity you have to take my natural slowness into account, to fix this I'd suggest some sort of benzodiazepine.
Whatever it is Youre on, I want some.
Ok here's the deal-
Apart from the fact that "soundsense"+"hoardes of zombies beating up each other" makes me wanna puke I've ran into another problem- I can't get the dwarves to do anything...So far I've removed all burrows, traffic restrictions, squads etc.
What to do? ???
Post by: Chilton on July 31, 2012, 08:29:45 pm
Or trying to do jobs in areas They arent allowed in?
The only fix I know is to disable all Their Jobs, then let the game run for a second, then enable the Jobs again.

I fixed the "noonewantstowork-problem" with my MLG-burrow-micro, doing goood.
Cryptgate(a.k.a. the molested child) got an idea! (Sitting in a workshop planning something-I'm keeping and eye on that bastard)
I flooded the magmaworkshops...don't ask...just don't
Right now I'm trying to break into the fort from the outside but a lot of building is Forbidden -How to fix?
Praise the Catapult!
____________________________________________________________________________
Edit:
Nevermind, it was easier to break out ;)
The llama gang were all left outside to die but a few of their friends got in.
Elven caravan! yay...no
Hope the bloody hippies dies a slow and painful death...since this is Markedangels its not very unlikely ;D
Praise the Catapult!
_________________________________________________________________________
Edit again :o :
I don't know why one of the poor orphans is named z-baby but she's having a party all alone...
Thief! Protect the hoard from skulking filth!
Really...What were you gonna do? Going to the worlds most inhabitable place to pick up some bloody llamawoolsocks? Maybe pick up some severed limbs while you're there? Get your priorities together man!
Just like previous overseers slowly let Markedangels be consumed by the decaying world I've started reclaiming the fort, one chamber after another. New winds are blowing! The second era has began and we shall soon become a more dominanat force then what we've ever been!
Just to futher boast about my successes- We've started bringing back lost history and culture -and by "we" it's pretty much just that wierd young dwarf Mafol...reminds me of Cain somehow- Artifacts are being brought back into the heart of the fort inspiring people to aim higher and achive more!
Wait! That bastard came out of the workshop... Hmm, he carries a rock hammer studded with gold, nothing to worry 'bout since it's child sized. He claims that Willed-Torrid will save him from his ghostly assulters. The name doesn't seems very fitting since torrid means
"Full of intense emotions arising from sexual love; ardent and passionate."
but why should I care.

Lol @ Cryptgate
Cryptgate was quite pleased with making an artifact lately.
Cryptgate has been molested by the dead lately.
Cryptgate had a bath recently.
Cryptgate has been tormented in nightmares by the dead lately.
It started off as a joke but seriously this guy got some ghostproblems ^^
V almost died of thirst but I- as in creepy kid- threw a barrel of rum at him, he didn't say anything 'cause he had his mouth filled with the sweet nectar of life but if a stare could kill...
I thought it would be nice for Trollbane to get a partner, maybe they'd have some nice demenstrations or something. But no...Just countless hours of the new guy beating the crap out of old Trollbane who just takes it and keep spamming-
-Trollbane looks surprised by the ferocity in the new guy's onslaught!
Meanwhile-
Xczxc the humble farmer cancels execute criminal: getting something to drink...
As if we were'nt few enough...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Cryptgate turned twelve- Congratulations! :D Here's a pick start diggin' >:(
***
More migrants- Sorry guys, it's a bad time. I left some dead elves out there if you get hungry but unfortunatly you're on your own...
So then most of them got their faces eaten by a zombie/cavy-pup. Standard.
Let me introduce you to Avuz Beachdiamond, looks like an ordinarie cheesemaker -maybe slightly bigger-, rarely ever smile or show any signs of happiness and a worshiper of a "mouse-like monster". But he is not like the other migrants, oh no, while they roll around in the mud trying to wrestle the little rodent-child -
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And thus we have an army of three.

The gobbos dropped by to say- Hi.

Ahhh, nothing like sitting in your new tower waching your enemies tear eachother to pieces :D
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Damn, more gobbos showed up. They're almost up to 100 now
Datan( Xczxc's son) just became possessed.
Xczxc unfortunatly died in a mining accident due to the fact that my focus was fixated on the cavy pup from before now biting the face off multiple trolls. Go get 'em boiii! Also sad 'bout the humble farmer but ya know death's part of life.
(Was it really an accident though? The group of non-catapultmemebers is shrinking drastically.)
I like Avuz's style, I think I'll try to win him over to my side.

@Shingy
I strongly recommend that you read some of Markedangels(obviously not the whole thing but maybe the first couple of pages)Edit: Maybe catch up by reading through my last turn, maybe looking at the pictures might be enough ;)
If this is your first experience with succession games you're in for a tough ride :P, I consider myself bit of a DFveteran and the only fort I played that could even compare with Markedangels has to be Screw-The-Next-Player-Over-1(That map had the surface flooded with lava, the bed-rooms flooded with water, the fort flooded with magma and the caverns flooded with both magma and water.

Ah, it's yours, I thought that you were done!It's nice to get some fresh active people :D, when it's just me and Chilton there is just a too big percentage of "wrestling-drama-stuff-that's-fake"
Sorry sir, please don't throw me in the cloud!
I'll post some important stuff after this but it's the last "update"
Praise the Catapult!
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Markedangels the living of water, the land of despair, the heart of the catapult, the place where your hopes and dreams comes to get crushed.
Another ghost assulted z-baby, this ghost shizz is getting serious.

The badass calf (Gravelorb) is back, he defeated the +-100 goblin siege and is now fucking with my constructions
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Wtf! The last siege died off literarly like 1 minute ago and now there's another siege? o__O
These guys are pretty determined.
All water on map stopped moving-has something to do with trees growing under- water-looks wierd though.
might help fps?
An orphan turned 12, naturally she's mentally scared due to the hardships of Markedangel's mayhem. Scarredhardship was too long so she's accuratly named just Scarship. Vabok Scarship. Now ya little bastard get working!(RNG)
A cloud of abominable smoke has drifted nearby!
Ok guys, I know that the undead calf and cavy pup were scary as hell but now we got 20 undead whip-gobbos on our hands...If were unlucky we might get a good 40 axe-gobbos too. Also trolls, lots of trolls.
*A while later*
What!? We learned 2 new things here today. First, unconsciousness makes you immune to being smoked and the gobbos retreated...yay...I guess....Today was a day of victory!
Ok, I'm almost done :) Soon I'll be out of this hell-hole...

Well, it doesn't matter how much I love shadownights
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Everyone is drowning in a sea of silk...
We managed to take Shadownights eyes but we can't kill him :(
Now he runs away with his feet covered in copper picks.
The entire world is covered in webs and vomit... <----only in Markedangels does this happen. ::)
This bastard is Fucking Immortal!!!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Someone else decided to join the party
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I see all my work get crushed right in front of me...
Shadownights isn't only immortal and lethal but also an excellent tactician. At this rate he'll soon have caught us all...
Our fighting force were far superior to start with but his lack of regard for such things as death and fair play has allowed him trap not only my main fighting force but also the others.
As I hear the screams of my comrades echoing through the bloodcovered halls of Markedangels I slowly close the gate behind me. I see their faces before me as I seal the door along with their the fate of those whom I swore to protect...
I've scheemed in the shadows and murdered in the name of justice- all for the sake of abolishing the corruption that was tearing us down from within...
I've fallen to the floor crying in despair and it's not until now that I fully realise that I was destined the become what I despised the moment I reached my desires.

I am the lone survivor...
Post by: Shingy on August 14, 2012, 03:38:54 pm
This is the highest concentration of forgotten beasts that I ever saw, and these ones are really dangerous.
ONLY THE CATAPULT CAN SAVE US NOW.
PRAISE THE CATAPULT.
*The rest of the writing is unreadable with pictures of fire and dead dwarves in dwarf blood. The last pages of the book are covered with schematics of the catapult in dwarf blood.
Edit: Oh, thanks! I'm happy to be active, and I'm often here, so as soon as there's a post I answer it. :)

We should start a poll about what could really end this fortress. I'm thinking about this:
1- A siege.
2-Abominable smoke cloud zombies.
3- Forgotten beasts.
4- Chilton
5- Slowpoke
6- HFS
7- The undying bunny.
Place your bets!

Slowpoke slow. If it ended I think Hed have told Us. I *think*.1. Yes, Slowpoke is slow.
Either way, there will be a reclaimation for sure if this is the end.
2. Nah, let's be hardcore and let it end if we die, it's kinda the way it'll work from a lore-perspective (Markedangels being the last dwarven outpost and all). Also I might add that the fps has gotten even worse :P
-But then again you're in charge Chilllton so it's up to you ;D But I think a new fort would be a better option.
It would be cool if you made a little summarization of every turn so that new guys like Crackers 'n Chingy can get into it. (might be too much work? ::))
-And why do you ask if it ended? I think this was a pretty decent end to a turn :P

Ill do it again anyway.
Its all about HOW We die. If We died of a FB, then the Reclaim would be a mission by some survivors who fled to kill it.
Invasion, and itd just be a closing statement for how doomed the place is, with an epilogue.
Dieing out or Berserkers and thats the end. Or Hell. Or anything like that. Its how We die :)
Post by: slowpokez on August 26, 2012, 08:20:47 am
Ok this is the current condition-
I've locked Kid and 2 kids who accually are kids in a "safe" chamber. They got a farm 'n a bed.
The rest are trapped in Shadownights lair.
It is possible to get migrants in, just tear down the walls of my tower. (remember to put 'em back) o__O
1. Never try to fight Shadownights- He IS immortal.
2. Don't try to save people who are in the immediate vicinity of Shadownights...They're already doomed.
3.Try n finish of some of my projects!
The extended Slowpoke-mines-

Getting some more adamantine- got a half-done shaft with a lock on. Should be "pretty safe"

I planned on building a skycity-I know not very dwarfy -___-, but since the gobbos got the land, the fbs the caves and the demons the underground it's our only option... I was planning on building a fishing platform but the gobbos neverending sieges shut down the project...

But you exaggerated with the flooding of the forges. The forges themselves are still fine. It's just some corridors around them who are flooded. How and why that happened I don't get, but I won't indulge.
Chilton, I draw my hat to you, if you somehow manage to survive that and get the fort kind of working again.

@Chillton- You gotta be pretty careful if you're gonna survive. Took me three tries to get through the year.... and I feel that I still have to emphasise the importance of putting back the walls after removing them.
Best fort ever.

As a non catapult worshipper, I think we should destroy the cursed thing. Perhaps then, the fort would stop being chased by doom. It's evil, I tell you! But at the current state, I wouldn't let any survivor do the trip to the catapult, too easy to die....No. :D (No, we arent destroying the catapult)

I cant be bothered taking screenshots right now. Id be taking, like, a million.
Unless something amazing happens.
I dont know where or who our miner is, so im designating a staircase and just hoping it gets done somehow.
I barely know whats going on. I actually dont even know if the people im looking at are the survivors, or just some holed up folks.
This ere diggin aint gonna get done, is it.
DO WE HAVE ANYTHING?!
Fuck it, ill wait for a migration wave.
Vodrilus has become a chained up recruit. How bloody useless.
SOMEONE FUCKING DO SOMETHING!
Oh look, Migrants.
Oh look, an increasing number of corpses.
Is there actually a way into the goddamn fort?
There isnt, is there.
Bloody hell.
I cant even kill us in a fiery charge of doom.
This is horrible.
Brewing a drink? HES BREWING A MOTHER FUCKING DRINK?! I... Im at a loss. I want this one guy to dig a fucking hole, all his labors are disabled except mining, and HE WONT DIG THE FUCKING HOLE. OH MY GOD.
Sarek the Forgotten Beast is enraged. Im fucking enraged. Youre just bitchy, you little shit.
If i didnt have ethics id flood this place with magma.
Fuck it, im unsealing the Fort.
Someone on the surface went stark raving mad.
A Migrant, within seconds.
There, the forts open.
I just realised how pointless that was.
Were fucked, arent we.
Im not even sure what im doing. Theres noone with the tools to do anything, or the will.

How the FUCK did that creepy kid get out of the secured off ar... i dont even care.
How was opening the fort a good idea? I wasnt really thinking. Just trying to make SOMETHING happen.
By Armok.
Am I missing something here?
Yes, creepy kid! Tantrum! Go berserk or something. Just fucking do SOMETHING.
A kid is getting drunk in a random room. Im so confused. Is HE one of the safe people who can do work?
The stray cavy boar is missing. Oh no.

Slowpoke! I require an image of a kid with no lower legs standing around near some crops and a locked door, with two ghosts flying around for no reason!
Wait. Wait.
What the...
How did...
How did creepykid go from being out in the farms wandering to being through a closed forbidden door?
I dont even know any more.
Now creepykids having a tantrum.
Noone is doing ANYTHING. AT ALL.
Ive designated random diggings all over the place in an attempt to make SOMEONE do SOMETHING.
It seems creepykid went and ran up to Sarek the forgotten beast, then ran back up to the area next to the farm.
Fath the bone doctor of destiny is still outside, slowly, slowly walking towards the entrance to the fort. And theres still two children scurrying around who will only accept the measly job of pulling down constructed stuff.
Alright, ok. Lets try to whine a little less.
Journal of CreepyKid. Date unknown, location HOWDIDIEVENGETINHERE.
Tulon the depressed child just ran by, going through the forbidden door. What is with that door?
I dont understand!
Its meant to be forbidden.
The door, is forbidden.
WHY AM I ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FORBIDDEN DOOR WITH ALL THE EVIL THINGS OF DEATH AND MISERY?!
So anyway. The two or three ghosts hovering around my leg stubs ar... OH MY GOD MY LEGS! WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HIT ME WHEN I LOOK AT THEM! I HAVE NO LEGS!
Im sorry, i needed a few moments there. I dont know whos reading this, but i know that the two or three ghosts hovering around my legs are getting boring.
I made friends with a worm i found on the ground. His name is Timmy, and He is really nice.
It seems as i have been writing this i accidentally kinda sorta ran down the stairs and now Olon the Baby and Sarek the beast are just kinda lookin at me, and stuff.
Anyway, enough about that.
Timmy is in the rock salt mechanism i inexplicably have laying at my feet.
Timmy is really friendly.
Im running up and down one of the parts of the stairway for giggles!!!
[[OOC, I shit You not, He just ran up and down one piece of stair for over 20 real life minutes)]
I just realised our stray cow has been missing for a week now.
On that note, imma go into a blood stained storage room and drink some year old stuff from this barrel i drink stuff from.
Hi Momuz the dead... ghost.
Timmys funeral is today. Timmy fell into the barrel of drink while i wasnt watching. Its all my fault. He drowned in there. There was nothing i could no.
NOTHING I COULD FUCKING DO!
WHY ARMOK, WHY!!!
Miasma be drifting down the stair case!
I keep on drinking this stuff, just in case.
Timmy flys up, and lands on my face.
Because i dont know what else to do here now in this place.
But rhyme about how much i have lost... Um... in this place.
Screw it, im going back upstairs.
What could possibly go wrong.
RHTHE BEASTIS HERE IM CAUGHTINA WEB GOODB
Oh, its just a bit web i walked right into.
Nevermind. If only i could blotch that out somehow...
Im out of the web. The world is saved.
Runnin up, and down the stairs!
Runnin up, and down the stairs!
Runnin up, and down the stairs!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH I FEEL A TANTRUM COMING ON.
And...
WHAT THE FUCK?!
How the unloving fuck DID I GET OUT OF THE SEALED OFF AREA AND INTO THE CENTRAL STAIRCASE.
[(OOC, Im actually fucking weirded out at this point)]
I dont actually know what im doing out here either. Fuck it, im here in a fit of RAAAAAGGGGEEEEE!!!

Runnin up, and down the stairs!
Noones here and noone cares!

Oh i see. Im out here to store an owned item. Of course, how could i forget.
Ooop, now Im starting a fightfight with nobody.
Welp, im back downstairs. I figured out how I got to the central stairway. Im no longer conf... Wait.
If i can get into the central staircase, why have i, this entire time, been psychologically preventing myself from, like, destroying the evil doom catapult?
[(OOC: I ordered its removal forever ago. And Creepykids been capable the entire time)]
I murdered someone today.

Now im down rubbing shoulders with Sarek. Seriously, hes within centimeters of me.
A miasma cloud has engulfed us. I can barely see my paper! And Sarek is just kinda chillin.
Imma just chillax here for a while. Man.

See Chilton, we're not dead yet!
Anyway, how many of us are still alive?

Yay, update!
See Chilton, we're not dead yet!
Anyway, how many of us are still alive?
Realistically, Creepykid and that dude on the surface. Other than that, theres a few kids and a couple of people trapped in indestructible webs and stuff. So, pretty much two, even though the number is technically higher. And Vodrilus, locked in a room with noone to let Him out.

Yea I love the fact that even though EVERYONE is dying we're still keeping ol' V locked up for a crime he didn't commit xDYay, update!

Nothing is happening.
Hour 1 is over. Um... Ok.
Hour 2. Um, yeah.
Felsite:
Nothing is happening.
Hour 3. UGH!!!
Just to be clear, I have stuff set to be done. Its just... Nothing, is happening.
Egh.
Hour 4. If this communication is found, send supplies.
Hour 5. The fact nothings happening aint for lack of trying.
"Ingish Zuntiregast, Presser cancels Drink: Interrupted by Dwarf Hunter abominable smoke zombie."
I choose to assume it hunts Dwarf.
For the spare legs.
If you get the reference, I love You.
Oh look. A Vile Force Of Darkness has arrived. And an Elf Caravan. Wait, theyre seperate?
Ehehe. A Troll Administrator? Really?
Hematite:
Nothing is happening. The invaders are just running around on the surface.
Hour 6. It has been six hours.
Creepykid is throwing a tantrum.
Hour 7. Chilton has gone berserk!
Hour 8. Chilton has calmed dow... WHY IS THE GAME GOING EXTRA FUCKING SPECIA
Oh. I had a game running in the background and forgot. Huh.
Its near the end of Hematite.
Ive been playing one constant hour per day. You bastards :D

Are you playing the game or just letting it roll around in its death bed?For the tenth or so time, playing it how? I have stuff designated, ive tried enabling every labor on everyone, disabling them on everyone, enabling on the ones i want, tried to remove the catapult, do anything imaginable, but NOTHING IS HAPPENING.
Let Me make it nice and simple:
I do stuff but nothing happens.
Hour 5. The fact nothings happening aint for lack of trying.
Post by: Shingy on September 27, 2012, 07:42:38 am
I'm sorry Chilton, this must be hard for you!
Good luck man, good luck...
I think that we'll have to reclaim if you can't do anything.
Post by: Vodrilus on September 27, 2012, 07:59:24 am
I do stuff but nothing happens.
Ah, it was tolerable with ~4.5 fps when the workforce was, well, alive and kicking. Sounds pretty torturesome now. I feel for you, bro. :(
Post by: Chilton on September 27, 2012, 08:23:03 am
Its not even the FPS. Its the fact that stuff i designated ingame months ago just aint happenin :DI do stuff but nothing happens.

Oh man, I can't stop laughing!

Yeah, but I refuse to suicide the fort unless its in a blaze of combat, magma, and beer.
And were all outta beer.
Post by: Chilton on October 08, 2012, 09:11:33 am
It is Malachite. Nothing is happening. More has been designated.
The Catapult still hasnt been removed.
Temptation to hack in a water source block at the top of the fort so the whole thing floods rising.
Temptation to use magma instead also rising.
*realises DFHack isnt installed because bleh*
FUCK.
How the fuck is Vodrilus still alive.
You know, Id make this a Journal, but itd look like this:
Entry 1: I am still aimlessly jogging up and down the stairs, falling asleep, then repeating ceaselessly because SHUT UP AND STOP JUDGING ME THE END"
k? kk.
Fuck it, Im going to go play Dark Souls for an hour. Maybe something will have happened by the time Im done other than pausing and not doing anything.
Well that was fun an exciting. And its... the 10th of Malachite, and nothing has happened! Fuck. This.
Oh no. A Gray Langur Man store some rope.
Ive been shadow boxing for the last 15 minutes.
Its Galena. How many months are left again?
Oh great. Only half the damn years gone. AAAGGGHHH
Post by: Shingy on October 08, 2012, 12:10:06 pm
Anyway, I begin to think that everybody in the fortress should die so we can reclaim... it begins to be long.
Post by: Chilton on October 08, 2012, 07:55:42 pm
Question is: What will die first? Chilton of boredom or the fort from... nothing?
Anyway, I begin to think that everybody in the fortress should die so we can reclaim... it begins to be long.
Indeed. But if We reclaimed, would We have the patience for the lag :P
The answer? Yes. And I refuse to hear otherwise!
I also refuse to drag this out for years because nothings doing nothing. I was legitimately about to flood the fort. Then I realised I didnt have DFHack installed, and I couldnt be bothered installing it. And if You saw the mess of designations... :)

Post by: Chilton on October 09, 2012, 07:20:06 am
I would like to be dwarfed (just found this today and finished reading it to the end)Sure. Ill Dwarf You as one of the nonexistant people in the Fort :P
Ferai: Engraver.
I might rename Creepykid to You. Creepykid has been without a real name for ages.
And Im bored.
Then I can yell about Ferai running up and down the stairs and staring at walls, then collapsing into barrels and never doing anything productive, since Hes the only person doing ANYTHING.
You bastards realise Ive just been watching Creepykid run up and down stairs, whenever I play, right? Waiting for Him to do something.
I'm going to guess that this isn't a burrow problem.
Well, I guess we'll see how this plays out to the end...
-J-
I deleted all the burrows in a fit or rage ages ago :P

Well...when he becomes an engraver just have him (me) engrave everything, annoying nobles rooms dining rooms bedrooms just make me(him) the SOLE engraver so when you need something engraved he (I) will always be avaiable. And it's better than him running up and down stairs.

Im not fucking around when I say noone is doing anything. It isnt for lack of trying.
EDIT: Also, youd be the 'sole' engraver anyway. Incase you didnt notice, everyone else is DEAD.

Well, a broken wrist, family problems, and a flood later, it was kinda shit of me not to say something. Im fully aware of that.
If nothing else, im considering making a part 2 with a new world. Fresh beginnings, and all.

Hello... First of all - can I join? :)Last time I checked we were down to 2 dwarves. The previous overseer who ended up in prison and a crippled child whom I had to go through a lot of trouble to save from all the zombies, goblins, forgotten beasts, rampaging lunatics and so forth.

Itll be in a few days, and itll be in Masterwork DF. Because more horror = good!

Let Me make it nice and simple:Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Post by: Chilton on April 01, 2013, 09:16:10 pm
Weeeell, I think we should give this fortress a proper closure (mainly because I want to make a pdf file about it (as with all the other succession games I've been in)), and then go on to the second part: The rage of the catapult (or The catapult cult or whatever), in a more FPS friendly site (if we find one as dangerous), perhaps?
Oh and I feel ya, bro-Let Me make it nice and simple:Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Well, ive already made the new one - I did think about giving this one closure, but itd just be really slow and tedious for me. HOWEVER, if you could settle for a fantasy ending which id draw in comic format, thatd be easier :)

I've played a shit-ton of succession games but somehow this one ended up as my favorite. :P
Well, i hope the next installment can be one of your favorites too!
Somehow, we still need to turn this one into a PDF book. I havent forgotten about that.
Also, FYI, the only reason the next installment isnt up yet is because, much like this one, my first couple of attempts at making it led me to die horribly within minutes. So, its kinda important that the succession game lasts longer than its intro speech :P
