Thank Hugo_The_Dwarf for this picture.
This is a succession fortress. That means that each "turn" is one game year. From spring until the following spring. Once your turn is over, you give the save to the next person on the list(That means you post it on Dwarf Fortress File Depot, your not really exclusively giving it to one person, that's just not fair).
This fortress is currently using Regeneration (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=92138.0), a mod created in collab with Hugo_The_Dwarf, myself, and Deon. (I came up with a lot of the ideas, Hugo did all the actual modding, and Deon came in and helped make a few creature tiles.) BEWARE, THIS FORT IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART!
Goals:
Here's the idea, every time the fortress dies/gets boring, we will change worlds, so every so often you might find that professor Lloyd(or his successor) has created a hole in time and space, changing worlds. Your goal is to survive long enough for the next overseer to take over. Simple? I think not.
Rules:
1# Unless your 110% sure the fortress is sunk, don't destroy it on purpose.
2# Make your "journal" interesting! give your character a personality! don't be all like, "I made a building, a dwarf died. the end."
3# If you haven't already found what is below adamantium, then just don't dig it up at all.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
6# There is no rule #5.
7# The current overseer of the fortress is responsible for dorfing people, not me.
8# Do not post here if your just going to feed into an argument.
9# ALWAYS post the save file, no matter what happened to the fort.
10# re-turns are allowed.
11# never savescum unless you think it's 100% necessary.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
13# There's no limit for your turn, but try to give us an update or some sign of activity every so often so that we know you haven't just vanished.
14# Anyone who mentions My Little Pony shall be nailed to a burning titan, then blown up.
15# Mentioning the fact that the "#"s are on the wrong side will net you a free decapitation.
16# There is no spoon.
Here's a detailed video explaining the life of a dwarf in typical fortress: http://miburl.com/8doIri
The Outrageous Boat: Poem(This was written before Project Flash Freeze)
Through the fires and the blaze...
Through the hills of evil...
Past the smoking goblins...
There she lies.
Enter the halls...
Open the doors...
Close the vents...
I SEE YOU.
THROUGH THE NIGHT AND THE DAY,
PAST THE BLAZE AND THE HAZE,
BEYOND THE SHADOWS OF THE VOID,
WE!
WILL!
RISE!
In the halls and each room,
Past the gloomy dark goons,
That evil par-a-site!
Rise today,
Fall tonight!
Wake up.
here's some art from The Great Kisame:

Post by: noodle0117 on July 11, 2011, 01:54:17 am
I’ve just received the job of leading some kind of fort in the middle of troll territory and the moment I walked in I just went wtf…
(http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt12/noodle0117/Regionomb.png)
The fort apparently looked as if it were designed by some kind of psychopath.
Rooms twisting in and out, cages cluttering the halls, ballistae lying in the middle of nowhere with their arrows aimed at walls, A bunch of injured dwarves lying in a completely bed stuffed room, Crafts completely piling up the walkways in chest deep junk.
And GOD the ground…
I HATE dirt grounds…
(http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt12/noodle0117/Regionarm.jpg)
Oh and while walking to the entrance I noticed a furnace worker with nearly his entire left side gone hobble by me. How he even manages to find the will to live befuddles me.
This is going to take some work…

A SEAL was found prancing about in the mountains far away from any source of water.
(http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt12/noodle0117/regionbridge.png)
Bridges hanging out in the middle of nowhere.
And a whole bunch of other stuff that are equally bizarre but which I don't really care to mention
There were numerous problems around the fort that had to be fixed, but with the massive mess of things, I could not focus. So the first thing I did when I came in was to order an above ground house to be built.
(http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt12/noodle0117/regionconstruction.png)
So I ordered the woodcutters to clear the trees, uproot the weeds (bushes), and for someone to get rid of that rotting corpse lying out in the open.
While it wasn’t exactly the most practical idea, I needed some place of rest, some place of order, somewhere where I could get away from the madness of the world.
(http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt12/noodle0117/regionghost.png)
…
I hate my life.
-----------------------------------------
Now of course I couldn’t just go about satisfying my own whims.
I’ve also ordered a staircase to be carved out and a massive stockpile to be designated.
“Wait, what do you mean you don’t like staircases?”
“Ei, our other fort overseer say we not allowed to make any staircases an now we all forgot how to do so.”
“….. *sigh*, fine just, do whatever ramp digging you want so long as you make it look nice.”
(http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt12/noodle0117/regioncaravan.png)
A whata caravan from whata la whatasion has arrived?
This will be an interesting fort indeed.

Downloading now
Edit: The forgotten beast got killed.
Carving out bedrooms now. These dwarves need as many happy thoughts as possible.
Going to create some dedicated haulers and switch it off in important dwarves such as miners.
(Theres just so much shit laying around...)
I love this forgotten beast!
There are so many pointless animals running around and its killing all of them.
Its pretty much beaten to a pulp so when the next player an finish it off.
250 animals? Seriously?

Also I check these fourms at night at exactly this time, So if its my turn I'd probally start that day. And I'm a little scared with this fort, Im not sure on what to expect har har

Or you could soften up more instead. Just saying.your right. It's just that I put everything I had into that fortress. then watching it all crumble to dust broke my heart, it devastated me. I just can't forgive noodle, but if he is still up for it, he can go LAST. is that alright?

-----------------------------------------------------------
After hearing no news from Portalpriests for months, our Queen Kogsak Likotesis sent me, Hugo Bronzelances. Why me? I asked Kogsak that very question. It must have been my reputation as Captain of the Guard, being one of the first of our kind and 98 years old to boot. And never taking any sick leave. So I and six other fellow dwarves are to be sent off to investigate what happened there, and to salvage whats left...
Apon arrival, we found several bodies and goods littering the landscape, equally rotting in the sun. Standing within the enterance of Portalpriests was quite eerie. With the only noise being the wind blowing through the now empty halls and dripping water echoing in the fortresses depths. "Ok lads, time to settle into our new home." with that statement nervous glaces were cast about. And the rebuilding of Portalpriests begun...
Taking the first step towards the enterance I was greeted by super-natural howling which sent shivers down my spine.
Kivish Logemzoz Ghostly Soap Maker can be heard howling throughout the fortress!
Beckoning Catton and Tekkud to acompany me into the fort, as we three were the only armed ones, save for the miners Urdim and Led. Traveling through the halls I got this sickening feeling, like something was wrong. Then I heard it, a faint clicking sound that gradually got louder. "Turn back now! Run!" I yelled at Catton and Tekkud, with all of us running for the exit, the clicking was now faster and louder almost keeping pace with my frezied heart rate. They ran clear and I jumped into the sunlight just as a enomous explosion could be heard in the fortress.
A section of the cavern has collapsed!
Dust blew out the enterance like flames from a dragons maw. "By Astis what the Hell was that?" standing up and eyeing my fellow dwarves "Well men. I suggest we carve out a small outpost in that cliff there. At least untl help arrives. Who knows what dangers there are in there or out here." everyone nodded in agreement.
Standing on the cliff overlooking the fortress I heard another succession of clicks followed by another explosion.
A section of the cavern has collapsed!
Astis help us, what could have drove these dwarves to self-distruct the fortress? A unforseen enemy? Simple madness? Perhaps some sort of record can be found in the ruins. Right now the miners are digging out the tempory living/working quarters, and farms. Dragging all the supplies up the damn cliff, mountain, hill whatever the fuck this is. Worse thing is im in full uniform, But the only dangerous thing here is a small cluster of hoary marmots. For added protection I've assigned everyone two war hounds.
Post by: noodle0117 on July 14, 2011, 12:27:08 am
And to The Master:
I'm sorry for ruining your fort.
I meant it more as a prank to add a touch of madness to the fort, although I see I must have went too far.
It feels awkward to ask for forgiveness on a forum post, but I'll still ask anyways.

I'm with noodle, "you son of an elf" just became true :), all great forts had their share of ridiculous engineering, just wish someone would document it from within, a proper dwarfy narrative of the horror machine.Since Noodle0117 engineered the structure, would he be willing to write a piece of what it would be for the unsuspecting dwarves as various ceilings collapse?

So you've decided to continue with the cave-in version after all... guess this will be interesting.I forgive you.
And to The Master:
I'm sorry for ruining your fort.
I meant it more as a prank to add a touch of madness to the fort, although I see I must have went too far.
It feels awkward to ask for forgiveness on a forum post, but I'll still ask anyways.
Please forgive me Master.

I'm ashamed of you for apologizing. This was hilarious. And, dear Master;
Stop trying. This is all just an obvious ploy to try and create another Boatmurdered (The poll. Seriously?).
You can't recreate it on purpose, and trying makes you seem pathetic.
Calm the hell down. And stop trying to become famous. It's embarrassing for everyone.

Now now I don't know if you know this but he's been informed of this, such as:
OP, chillthefuckout.
Its a game.
Its nothing to throw away a perfectly good computer about.
Oh, can I has turn?
And
Or you could soften up more instead. Just saying.
All in all I feel that the rules and what we're required to do needs some more softening up. Can't expect everyone to do everything exactly as you want, ya know. We have a life.
Please lets not start some flame-war. We all have moments, and so what if he wants to try and create another Boatmurdered? It wont be the same as it, but his goal is to hope to have something epic. Might not be this one, but who said it had to be the first fort? It could be this one, or the next. Depends on the player(s)/writer(s). I believe "The Master" has been thoughly informed of his actions thank you good sir.

Discussion on trolls and their definition have officially ended.
Instead, I shall present you with a slip a hauler found while searching through the recently caved in rubble.
Quote
This horrid, filthy fort, nothing but chaos and confusion. Forgotten beasts rampaging around, the military slaughtered, dwarves are dying by the dozen and still I can't even figure out which path leaves to the caves.
The year, it's almost over, and what have I accomplished? A stockpile and a room for myself? It's humiliating.
No... they will remember, I will make them remember me, I will memorialize myself, but how?
A magma pump?
No, we lack the metal to do so.
A great throne room?
No, the dwarves are too disorganized.
An impressive military?
No, that takes far too much time.
There is only one way to do so, yes...
If they won't remember me for greatness, then the only way left is to remember me for tyranny.
Hehehe...
If I can't bring order to this fort, then all that's left to do is to sow further chaos.
--------
I've given the instructions to the mechanics and miners.
They follow obediently, mindlessly, and completely unaware of the consequences to come.The holes that were dug out were covered with bridges and floor hatches so as to reduce suspicion.Spoiler (click to show/hide)The lever is pulled, and nothing will stop the madness that shall ensue once the next dwarf comes into leadership.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
...
I shall be forever remembered.

Hearing muffeled, but hurried footsteps come "Hugo the restless souls torment us, even in our small shelter they haunt us." gazing at the moon and stroking my briaded beard and moustache. I turned to Led one of our miners "We must find the bodies of these souls then. and set them to rest. While we are at it, gather up some of the traction benches, tables, chairs, and beds." with that Led's footsteps could be heard towards the small outpost leaving me back to my thoughts. What dangers were here? What creatures from the caverns have they found?
Reports from Catton and the miners say that the farming area has been dugout and are now working on planting and digging out the stroage and meeting area, then medical chambers. "What in the world is that?" Muttering under my breath, on the horizen there was... Seals? Arn't those artic critters? strange...
I can't sleep, too much noise. If its not the mining, its the ghosts. Enough to drive someone to madness. Why did the Queen really send me? What did I ever do to deserve this? NOTHING! Thats what. Hopefully once we set this small base of operations up, We can cease this madness. If not, I'll just make this my home. Might as well take whats given, and I'm damn well taking it.

He has not been seen since a strange warmth started radiating from the door

Summer has arrived finally. Thought the season of the elf would never end. You know spending three months in this place, really made it grow on me. I am content, heh the moaning of the dead don't bother me, It pretty much sounds like wind. Only more eerie and dwarf-like, but my best-friend's uncle's sister's dog made that sound. So in a twisted way, It's just like home. I already began polishing my armor and weapons, never go anywhere without the stuff... Not the polish, my armor, sword, and axe.
That Hugo guy is the kinda dwarf that mutilates first, thinks of drinking during, then sleep after. Doesn't matter there is a use for muscle, Altho I'd wouldn't call him dumb... Not just yet...
The main medical chamber has been carved. Leaving a small room in the middle for medical staff to be housed. All thats left is the sick rooms to be carved under the medical chamber and the workshop area. As I thought, funny I am not even the leader of the misson yet I'm in command. Maybe its because of my weapons? Stopping as I felt the gentle summers breeze brush my face and russle by hair, the iron rings holding my braids together softly clinked, combined with the sound of grass bowing to the wind. Made this cursed place seem more like heaven. Then it was gone replaced with the cold touch and moans of dead souls, grumbling from the workers. And that small moment of bliss was tucked away into my memory. I still have that.
28th of Hematite, Early Summer. Led and Urdim finally got the workshop area clear, by request from Catton and Tekkud more barrels needed to be made, HA! Made! what jokers, I told them to go loot the hills, thats where there damn barrels be.
BAH! All these complainers, and we all know about the bloody dead, Astis knows. Grabbing my helmet I headed for the outdoors "Hugo where you going?" Bloody bastards want to know everything, always everything, instead of exploding and stangling the poor lout I responded with a cheerful "Going hunting." a dumbfound look struck his face, and he scrunched it up like a goblin was kissing his mother. "But your a Captain not a hunter..." ABOUT TIME someone uses my title. Waving him off I headed towards the seals. Poor buggers. And poor Doren.
Buckling the last strap on my boots, Catton bust through the doors screaming "Migrants!" my heart skipped a beat, finally some help in this accursed land. Soon it will be cleaned up and repaired to its formor glory, and these blasted bloodly ghost go away. First newcomer is Momuz Godenmuthir Mason with some Animal Training, Bembul Egastmorul Fisherman also has some skill in surgery he has been labeled as a Medical Dwarf, Cerol Ninurrigoth Wood Burner has some skills in Masonry and Siege Engineering he could be of use later perhaps, Lorbam Tashemineth Woodcutter my kind of dwarf used to me a Mace Dwarf also did some brewing in the army, then lastly Stodir Mengzat Suturer thats all he does so hes a Medical Dwaf. Sigh all this writing really can wear somedwarf out. I'm going to go hurt and hopefully kill something.
Some more migrants came, a great handful to help with bringing this fortress to its glory from 11 up to 20. We have begun the clean-up of the old Fortress. Soon we will have all the debris removed. Floors and rooms rebuilt. The self distruct really did a number on the layout. But I have faith it can be rebuilt. Hugo
With the hopes of moving the acual living quarters of the outpost to the fortress I have made the outpost's medical chambers to the burial grounds. We have removed most of the old workshops and furniture in the old fortress. Next is flooring over the holes, building walls, and getting a useful defence built.

20th of Hematite, morning. Thikut one of the new furnace operaters died from the very mysterious substance. I don't understand where did it come from. Good dwarves are bleeding to death like stuck pigs, but the offending blades source is unknown. I fear we may suffer a riot. Astis help us.
21st of Hematite, By Astis one of the engravers Youthmines was found in the caves... seeping pus from everywhere, I mean everywhere it made most of the dwarves sick, Hugo and Sodel died of infection, or something like that. But what is doing this? I fear this young lad will die from blood loss as his body subsitutes blood as a cleanser. Were is this contamate coming from? I have issued a order that everyone must remain in the outpost and for sure stay away from the caves. Until I can find a cure... Or any solution.
22nd of Hematite, Youthmines has died. I dont understand. But we are burning all bodies, maybe its some kindof spore-like virus. Sending out spores to infect other victums as it slowly devours and rots them, no not rot. Infect.
Already a woodcutter has snapped. he went to the corner to vent his rage. I hope he calms down and everyone can get level headed. I fear I have spoke too soon the shieif has beaten a bone caver and a woodcutter to death for their animal abuse.
Events of 3rd Malachite. "Please no, just relax, calm. Wait, no, no... NO!!!" as Urist "the Spider" scrambled backwords away from Catton, wielding his copper axe in his hand and a evil grin on his face. "You Spider, have been killing us slowly, using poisons that only dwarves of your medical profession know of, Hugo was like a father to me, and Sodel was my best friend. Youngmines did not deserve it either." Spider was sweating openly face paler then normal
"Catton I didn't poison them you must understand. I..."
"Enough lies. I shall end this madness now..."
"Catton Listen..."
"NO!!!"
Taking a wild swing Spider jumped back and evaded most of them until a lucky hit caught the Spider's right foot getting the axe stuck in the floor but splitting the foot like a log, prying the axe free and hoping to hit the Spider with the backswing of force he rolled away. With a savage roar Catton jumped swinging the axe and chopping into the Spider's upper left arm, blood sprayed out like gripping a ketchup bottle too hard very fast. The Spider raised the injuried arm to defend against another vicious blow, only to have his lower arm almost hacked off, he stared at it dumbfounded. Suffering from shock and disbelief as his lower arm dangled by a fingers width of muscle and skin...
All the rest of the fort could see was a shadow cast from Catton by the Spider's candle on his desk, a axe being raised, and lowered. Everytime the axe came down the dwarves heard a meaty thud and everytime it was raised the walls got painted a dark red. As a cue everyone begins killing anyone that involves healthcare, Miners turned digging tools into crud ice-picks and their targets blocks of ice. After they ran out of doctors it was each other, fist fights and tools and weapons. Blood was shed and blood flowed. Only one went stark raving mad babbling and stripping naked, crawling through the blood and gore.
As time went by some dwarves became suicidal, others crazy. Buzzards and other carrion beast came to feast on the death and madness. From all the killings only 11 live so far, 3 unsound of mind, leaving only 8 left that are sane, but quickly loosing it to the temption of insanity.

Such madness. But there is HOPE!!! middle of the summer and I got another migrant wave. FRESH MEAT! but there are two berserking dwarves. I'm locking down my own outpost, its nothing but a home for the insane and dead. Only problem is... Is Catton with us, or against us? Only two dwarves remain, Led the Miner and Catton the Woodcutter/Bone Carver slayer of "the Spider" and currently locked in a hospital room in the "Mad House" more update 2morrow this is intense.BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!! THAT`S THE OUTRAGEOUS BOAT FOR YOU! The infection is from a certain forgotten creature. There is no cure, why do you think I abandoned the place the first time?

I am Led the sole survivour of this failure of a misson, My friends, I even locked my lover Catton in his medical chamber. I... I'm so confused, and scared. I have no choice but to try and rebuild this place before winter, I began roofing over one of the holes in the old fort. As it is my only home now, I had the outpost locked. Too much madness. Wait.. Whats that over there? Oh my Astis! Mirgrants, seven of them. I'm saved, Catton my love. I shall let you out... Soon.
Why Astis? Why? You taunt me so, by taking my precious Catton's mind away. His beastal screams can be heard from inside the safety of the ruined fort. I hate this place, if its not lost souls moaning and haunting us. Or people going crazy and killing each other, like the other engraver went all suicidal. I hate this place I HATE IT! I HATE IT!

As several theives calling themselves Voidwalkers, were caught and killed we almost got a small bedding chamber fixed.. Or maybe it was the old medical room. But as I was dealing with the latest theif, a savage roar could be heard from the caverens. A babbling dwarf that went mad, starting screaming "The Forgotten Beast Munda Emenhain Thegoijita Dik has come! A gigantic hairy scorpion. It has large mandibles and it has a gaunt appearance. Its slate gray hair is long and straight. Beware its poisonous sting!" then he went back to crawling around yelling that someone stole his do-hicky and a unicorn was sleeping with his sister.
We have dug out a path to the Mad House / Medical Chamber, it still has its uses for burial and storage, or any type of workshop I surpose. And about the middle of Autumn some more mirgrants have arrived. A lye maker, woodworker, planter, another planter, stoneworker, and a trader. We are now 13. And the caves have been sealed. As we have no idea were that mystery substance is.
Winter has come and so has the merchants. We traded useless nick nacks for booze and metal. Some kind of flying people came before spring, they wouldn't trade anything so we killed their pack animals and took their goods.
Spring has arrived and I now pass on the title of overseer to whatever unfortunate soul that has to come here. Good luck.
Summary:
-Sealed/repaired all self distruct damage/holes
-Built small outpost/refuge in the cliffs to the north west (which now has its own history of blood and madness)

EDIT: Not as an overseer, at the moment. I'll... appraise the situation a little bit first.
I started the fort up and there were two fortresses on Reclaim mode. Endokor and Mistemkamuk. I tried the first one, and it was a small little shelter carved out in the mountain. Trying Mistemkamuk now.
EDIT 2: Aaaaand it appears Mistemkamuk is it. Jesus, are all succession fortresses like these? My cat's vomit has been far less messy, and far easier to clean up...
Oh well, Urist, drop your pick. Your on refuse duty.
EDIT 3: Argh shit! Cave in! Is this the save with the time bomb on? Jesus...
OK, I'm going to have to ask which addle brained, drunk half wit designed this shoddy excuse of a fort. There's water leaking. Everywhere. Four ghosts haunt the place, one of them howling around and causing no one to be able to have a wink of sleep. Cave collapsed, and it's pretty terrifying waiting for the next on - HOLY SHIT I THINK THE CEILING JUST MOVED! *screams*. Oh wait... uh, *ahem*. Anyway, the only place worth looking at is the communal dining hall/dorm. That'll be my base of operations from this whole goddamn mess.
EDIT 4: OK, I swear to god that I hit 'save' for the previous edit, then switched the screen to DF... 'A section of the cave has collapsed'. I zoom over, and... it's the communal dining hall/dorm! MY BASE OF OPERATIONS!! !!RAGE!!
Anyway, that was a pretty funny trick noodle. Just, you know, be a little brutal next time. :P

Hehe, sure. I'm still laughing over what just happened. I mean, seriously? 'Hurr, that's a nice place durr! I'll make it my base of operations. *ceiling collapses*'. I did NOT expect that. This deathtrap made my day.I KNOW RIGHT?! I'm just admiring his..."Improvements", when out of no where, the ceiling just goes bye bye! I abandon after the first cave in, so when I return I get a hell of a lot of FUN when the other two cave ins happen! BTW, your updates take place in an alternate universe, that way oidip can still have his turn quickly, cool?

By the way, the whole thing appears a little bit bugged. That is, the flora looks a little weird. You should get that fixed by just using a single mod.
And I'm not picking on you, but I'd really like it if you could resist double posting all the time.

I could have did everyone with those stats. They still die lol even if he broke his toe and it got infected she'd die

If she were to get an infection in the first place. But she's with 'possessed of amazing recuperative powers' and 'virtually never sick ' :P
Lol just send her down to the caves to play, Either the FB will get her or that Mystery Substance that I can't seem to find to floor over :(

That FB down in the caves could probally eat her up and shit her out like no 2morrow.wrong, she knocked the sucker to the ground in one blow, then stabbed it to death Before I could blink too, it looked like she just walked into it, and boom, dead.

Well I was proven wrong. Well she won't be able to survive a large groub of hostiles. She will get tired and thats when they will get her. It's all up to the next overseer to use her or not. And hearing that she dropped that FB in one blow makes it seem too epic or just plain silly haha. I've had on other forts with one super soldier and he almost took on an entire seige of goblins. Got winded and killed.any hero was given a slight boast in stats. But as you see all the heroes I played with all died... Horribly, but Ulric is definatly not godlike. Ulric is only miltiary.

She's the commander of a group of dwarves with voidshard razors. They are supported by two other squads of soldiers equipped with the various weaponry around the fortress. Update will be posted soon, but don't expect anything big. I'm not much of a writer, so I'll keep it simple.
Also good weapons make good killing, Hopefully screenshots, haha a summary of events are not that dramatic, even tho my writting is not as good as the pros.

Falling... Falling? No floating, but not up. It's that feeling of running as fast as you can, but no need of your legs. Floating yes, If I was flying I would feel the wind. This was unreal, so I dared my eyes to open. What I saw was something I couldn't grasp, Trees, Hills, Moutains, villages, and fortresses passed under me. The world flew by. Then I floated over a large hill and I could see what looked like a fortfied cave, something made by a mad dwarf. Portalpriests... How would I know that name? It's familar but I don't acually remember. Like that feeling you get when a horrible event will happen, You just know. Heading towards the fortress with no will of my own, like a needle being pulled by a seemstress weaving me through hallways and rooms, making me pass dwarves I've never seen before. Without warning one of these unknown dwarves walk in my path, I collided with him and then everything goes black...
Dakost Kelaban has been Possessed!
"Ugh, my head." reaching up, placing my palm on my throbbing head, my forehead was burning like a forge, and very sweaty. Shakenly I sat up in the bed like a drunk human, and carefully swung my legs over the edge to dangle. Swore I was taller, and had more muscle. Must have been out for awhile. "Ah, Dakost. Your awake." snapping my alertness to the sound I discovered a dwarf female standing in the doorway of a cell-like room, all my thoughts were "Dakost?" That's not my name, I'm Hugo. must have spoken aloud because she gave me a concerned look
"Dakost, that is your name. Are you feeling ok?"
"Err, yes.. Only a headache. How long have I been out?"
"Only a few days Dakost, Thought you caught the mystery plauge."
"Mystery plauge?"
"Oh dear, must be suffering from slight memory loss. With a fever like that I thought you were a lost cause. The mystery plauge was something found in the now sealed caverns, Hugo was the first to get it. Horrible, but the strong man managed to point out a rough location of where he found it on a scetch of the caves. Before, that is, his body used his blood as sweat, cause of too much pus."
Dead? No that cannot be.. I'm here now, awake and talking. But why am I being called Dakost? "I think I'll rest a bit more, my head hurts a bit." managing a weak smile to charm the lady, must have worked cause she smiled back and nodded turning and promptly leaving, I began to observe the small room. This room seems to be my idea, a medical chamber. two by two with a bed, table, and traction bench and a door. Incase the injuried dwarf needed to be locked up, or left to starve due to crippling wounds. Then the room exploded in light, washing everything in white until everything was just that... White. "HELLO HUGO." I blinked making everything black for a split second, the voice didn't come from a direction, yet in all directions at once. "He.. Hello?" I stuttered out, fear coiled in my guts like two helmet snakes mating. "I AM ASTIS, THE HILL OF FINGERS. AND I HAVE BROUGHT YOU BACK THROUGH ANOTHER LIVING BODY, I HAVE A TASK AND IT MUST BE DONE."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC the possesson was only me just giving a nickname to Dakost a Lye Maker, thought I'd try and put a interesting intro to this, now that I'm not rushed to acually finish a turn. If this post confuses everyone because there is another play of events then I shall white wash it.

FYI, I kinda tried opening the CLOWN CAR and the fortress died, due to lag! please be careful when mining the cotton candy, you'll have to abandon due to sheer lag if you accidentally open the door!
Don't worry about me, I got a hex core processor with 8gb of RAM and a 120gb SSD, My computer flies, with 50 dwarves I can still have up-to 100fps if theres no mass flows going around (running water/magama) my other fort has 138 dwarves and it runs at 50fps

By Astis, this place is a mess. The walls and floors are splattered with the blood and guts of various creatures, and a horrible stench hangs over the entire fortress. The Overseer (expedition leader) ordered a personal chamber dug out, not satisfied with the humble quarters the rest of us reside in.
19th Slate:
(http://i55.tinypic.com/2a0kimp.png)
A massive wave of migrants arrived today, including an administrator
23rd Slate:
(http://i54.tinypic.com/24errtk.png)
Our scouts report that a Forgotten Beast has been spotted. Good thing it's trapped down in the caverns. For now.
25th Slate:
(http://i56.tinypic.com/2ds08k.png)
What the..
(http://i56.tinypic.com/hs59wj.png)
It seems a couple of dogs decided to duke it out with the beast. They did a surprising amount of damage.
1st Felsite: The Overseer ordered most of the idle workers (including myself) to help with the massive work of smoothing the stone in the newly carved out rooms. A ridiculous amount of statues have also been erected in the Overseer's new "palace".
More to come (obviously)!

"HUGO, I HAVE WATCHED YOU GROW, SEEN YOUR NATURAL BORN POWER. YOU WERE PERFECT, BUT A DEMON. A FORGOTTEN BEAST, OSTAR INFECTED THE CAVERNS. AND THIS INFECTION WAS SO TAINTED THAT NOTHING COULD SURVIVE." All this was hard to take in, I died and was then resurrected by Astis? No not resurrected just relocated, what happened to the other guy Dakost? "What's my task Astis? and what happened to Dakost?" it took only seconds for a response but here, in this light, it felt like an eternity. "DAKOST STILL LINGERS WITHIN YOUR CONTAINER, IN A DEEP SLUMBER. NO NEED TO THINK OF HIM, MORE IMPORTANT THINGS ARE AT HAND. I NEED YOU TO BUILD A CASTLE, A TEMPLE TO MY GLORY!" a window opened up in the whiteness revealing Portalpriests, but a grand structure sat above the fortified cave. Tall gleaming spires reached for the clouds, great walls with a drawbridge connecting to a larger stone bridge. From one side of the structure lava flowed out of aquaducts, on the other water. Stone of dwarves dotted the castle, they stood watch at doors, windows, even corners of the structure. But the greatest sight was the temple built on the very top of the castle. Then the window closed but the image was burned into my mind. "NOW HUGO I SHALL CURE YOUR DAMAGED BODY, BUT THE ONLY WAY I CAN GIVE YOU THE POWERS YOU ONCE HAD, IS IF YOU COMPLETE THIS TASK OR SHED THE BLOOD OF THOSE WHO WISH TO STOP YOU." with that, the light vanished, so suddenly it made the whole room seem darker then before. "Bugger."

11th Felsite: By Armok! Our broker, Sodel, was taken by a fey mood today. He has claimed a crafting workshop, and is furiously gathering materials. This should be interesting. A "nephilim" caravan also arrived today, but obviously Sodel won't be able to trade with them.
14th Felsite: The caravan does not seem to have brought anything at all. We suspect they may be spies.
17th Felsite: (http://i56.tinypic.com/2a64bxg.png)
20th Felsite: The "merchants" were sentenced to death by the Overseer. Ulric carried out the order quite happily.
(http://i51.tinypic.com/ta4f37.png)
28th Felsite: (http://i54.tinypic.com/r2mb87.png)
The beast was heard commiting vandalism in the sealed tunnels. I wish we could go down there and teach the bastard a lesson.
1st Hematite: (http://i55.tinypic.com/t9gjdc.png)
10th Hematite:
A mysterious building is being constructed outside the walls. The Overseer inspects it daily.
(http://i51.tinypic.com/2hfp1rs.png)
13th Hematite: Rumors are circling around about the purpose of the building. Some believe it to be a monument, or perhaps a mauseoleum. I guess we'll find out in time.
17th Hematite: The Overseer spoke today. "I have seen the light. The gods have given us a holy task. We must build a tower so high it will reach into the skies. Every able dwarf shall participate in this project, or face severe punishment.
Great. Like we didn't have enough maniacs in this place.
1st Malachite: The construction on the tower continues. The sleeping quarters have been masterfully engraved by our engravers, and more quarters are being dug out.

4th Malachite:
(http://i55.tinypic.com/4izb5x.png)
We seem to be running out of barrels. Most of the carpenters are probably busy building this crazy tower.
11th Malachite:
The elite within our society have been assigned new living quarters, to reflect their status. bastards
13th Malachite:
A Voidwalker thief was spotted today. It was quickly dealt with.
(http://i56.tinypic.com/svsb35.png)
Ulric claimed to have been engulfed in some kind of mist after killing the thief. We can only hope it will not have ill effects.
(http://i51.tinypic.com/16lzm89.png)
16th Malachite: More migrants! Apart from a novice soap maker, they're all relatively skilled workers.
11th Galena: Not much has happened in the past weeks. The work on the tower continues. The Overseer now also demands we dig downward under the tower. Sounds like crazy talk to me, but at least it gives me something to do. Lye isn't excactly in high demand in this place.
20th Galena: There's been an unusal amount of Bog Troll thieves around these parts, but Ulric has made short work of most of them. Speaking of that, another empty Nephilim caravan arrived today. They just don't get the message do they? More training for Ulric I suppose.
22nd Galena: (http://i56.tinypic.com/2unwlg8.jpg)
*sketches of a quarry, rough gems and stacked cloth*
6th Limestone: (http://i52.tinypic.com/6fcsow.png)
I woke up today clutching this thing in my fists. I feel my goal in life is to engrave, so that is the profession I have taken.
12th Limestone: (http://i56.tinypic.com/2a6o5rq.png)
By Astis, the caverns are swarming with these things.
15th Limestone: The tower monument nearly got 3 dwarves killed. The fools had somehow gotten themselves stuck down underground, and we had no choice but to dig a path to them from inside the fortress.
18th Limestone: Some workers remarked about how we haven't actually got a proper dining room. I suspect that will be fixed within long.
27th Limestone: Yet more migrants. A medical dwarf was with them. We still haven't got a hospital of any sort, but with all these thieves and hostile civilizations, I fear we may need one soon.

------------------------------------------------------
Everything is so strange now, it's like trying to learn everything over again. But then again I already know it, just have to remember is all. I have a bad feeling about that Ulric girl, thats a human's name. A male human's name, if Astis can bring me back... Maybe Ostar can do the same thing too, after all Ostar is a demon as Astis says.
I think i've done good so far, got the rest of these little halfings to trust me. Didn't take much, just had to dispatch a few weakling creatures to do so. I have to admit it was a little harder due to stunted limbs, but thanks to my master i'm god-like. Got my own rooms too, basically royality. Only deadlier.
A electric charge was in the air, it made my nose tickle, my fingers fidgit, and my toes tingle. Not to mention make my eye twitch, my hair itch, and chills down my spine. Souls, that's it! A bad omen, bad omen indeed. This fort has has enough violence and madness, Astis why must there be more? Tilting my head to the side in hopes that my deity would talk to me, just once. Nothing, like usual. But I might know who the new soul is, Dakost was taken to the hospital in the hills. I must investigate, but first things first. Who was the first player before Dakost's blackout?
Trying to be Dakost was harder then it looked, I was never a farmer, always a soldier, a man of justice. Not plump helments and pig tails. All I have to do is shift some dirt, drop a seed, cover it, move one, and repeat. Simple almost like a combat drill, step slash parry, sidestep block stab, rush shield-bash kick. Only less violent and fast-paced. But this job isn't as bad, saw that Ulric girl pass by with a stone. Something is strange, she never talks and walks kinda funny. Like she's not used to her legs. Maybe im just paranoid, I must build that castle. The temple to Astis.

Even more forgotten beasts crawled out of the depts over the last 2 months, and are now wandering the caves underneath us. Hopefully they'll stay there forever. The tower has progessed quite nicely, I must admit. If nothing else, it's decent training for our masons.

Kumil claims he is being stalked by the spirit of some crazy herbalist. Probably just paranoia.
Ulric slew an attacking giant, but not before it managed to kill an unfortunate hunter. He shall recieve an honourable burial.

One of our craftsmen, Lokum, has been taken by a fey mood today. The correct workshop does not yet exist I'm afraid, so he's just standing around looking very agitated.

Looks like we survived another year. We're a lot better off than last spring too, but Astis knows how quick that can change. I think I'll take a pause from writing, and focus on engraving. No one knows what the future will hold, but I have good hopes for this fortress.
Long live Portalpriests! Long live The Good Rack! Strike the earth!
Not much was really done in my turn. Living quarters were expanded, a mostly useless tower was partially constructed, ale was brewn, merchants were slain, and walls were engraved. A decent year I'd say.

All these dwarves are new. Everyone that I was alive with previously are dead, considering all the coffins in my planned out hospital. At least my memories are coming back, but I seem to share Dakost's memories as well. And truth be told Dakost doesn't even know everyone here either, better yet no one. I'm going to have to find the masons, one dwarf at a time. And the only way to do that was to follow the stone, walking towards one of the many, random ramps leading down. I passed various cavern trees planted in the dugout soil, breathing deeply taking in the damp stale air, mixed with mold abd mildew. Nothing like the caves, strangely I enjoy the small moments like this better now, then I did then. Reaching the first ramp by the living quarters and fields, walking across the newly built floors to the next ramp. I bumped into a fellow dwarf hauling a boulder "Oi, watch were you goin mate!" Nodding my head in his direction I contuined on hearing behind me "Bloody wankers, no respect for the masons."
There he is, Dakost. Yes he is just like Ulric, same aura. But this one is different, unlike Ulric he makes my beard itch like something fierce. Much more powerful soul yes? But why old Dakost? What does it call it'self and why is it here? Same with Ulric? Argh too many questions and my beard is driving me nuts!
Can't I get any peace? The local nut-bar is running around hiding behind corners watching me. I'm a dwarf like him HA! Yeah right like I enjoy being a midget, how do they even walk? Oh well one day I'll just kill all these little bastards, shame I have to wait...
One stone, two stone, three stone. So many frickin stones, I know I'm a mason but come on I only took this profession because of the money. But now im regretting it, all the people I work with are idoits. Not to long ago one of them bumped into me, not even a sorry. What a prick.

Noticed that Lokum Knotgranite has gone fey, and is hunting down a crafts shop. I am saddened that the “Oozing Death” lingers there, causing the victim to ooze pus from every part of their body before bleeding to death. Maybe I should investigate Hugo’s grave to try and find a cure fo this plauge...
EDIT: Master checkout this thread http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=87099.0 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=87099.0) its F.O.R.T (fortress overseer recuitment thread) suposedly you can post this fort and it will help with getting more overseers?

I did that about a day after i first started this topic, take a look at the last time F.O.R.T. was edited. July 5th! All he did was remove the modded fortress section. Thanks for trying to help though!It's all we can do right?
and my super big Update, I played all from spring to autumn so I hope you all enjoy, and as a bouns I have Snapshots! they are fairly big so im dropping them into spoilers for your viewing enjoyment.
Portalpriests 21
--------------------------------------------
This is the journal log of Professor Lloyd Matchrelics, on the 1st of granite 21 I was inquired about overseer by Rahn the engraver. Strangely I remember the stories of Hugo and how he designed the very “Madhouse” that doubled as a outpost and hospital. It now only serves as a small hospital, burial ground, and living quarters, as more small 2x2 rooms have been dug and engraved. Only they only contain beds for rest, no traction benches or surgery tables. Rahn had ordered some monument built, some outstanding orders were left for construction I shall allow them to be carried out. First order of business is to cut all trees growing inside of our fort to make room for farming, the excess wood to be turned into bins a barrels.

After investigating Hugo’s coffin any trace of “Oozing Death” was gone, although underneath his skeleton was a small journal. Perhaps it holds what I seek, if not then at least I can get some of his ideas. Why must the answer to this problem be so elusive?
17th Granite
Reading Hugo’s journal proved useful to me being an overseer, as he had plans. Not great plans but some are very good, one I have set into motion is the Atom-Smasher. There are way too many hatches, and who knows maybe if we can’t sell the thieves clothes at least we can dispose of them.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
11th Slate
The journal contains a few more ideas that seem practical, like the water reactor facility and the larger dwarf-built hospital. Written under both of these are “Uses useless stone, and serves purpose.”. I have taken the outer door off the “Monument” and sealed it off, it will useful for storing weapons, armor, and ammo fo the soldiers.
20th Slate
Migrants have come,
the first one is a jeweller novice in: gem setting, gem cutting, leather working, and bone carving.
A talented fisherman that is also: competent trapper, and a adequate ambusher,
a talented soap maker that is also: skilled wound dresser, with novice flattery skills he was made a full-time medic,
then another I assigned to medical duty she was accomplished wound dresser and suturer a proficient trapper a competent cook and a novice metalsmith and swimmer,
a high master fisher cleaner, that is also a proficient mason and swimmer.
A crafter that was drafted,
a child called Imush Clawsack I have a feeling he wont be kidnapped easily.
Then a talented furnace operator/novice weaponsmith
then came two craftsmen, one being a high master glassmaker the other a high master bone carver
someone drafted as a macedwarf,
and a butcher that got assigned more farming duties,
another craftsman dealing in cloth and bones,
a peasent that was trained as a crossbowman,
a trapper gone full out woodsman,
a craftsman drafted as a hammerdwarf,
a mechanic that is multi talented,
a miner that has been given mason duties for building walls and such,
a hunter who was drafted,
another furnace operator that is also a weaponsmith.
Finally that is the last of them, my wrist was getting cramped filling out all the paperwork, I am ordering a new hospital to be built. And the pathway to the monument from underground has been ordered to be enlarged.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
27th Slate
I have ordered that a stairwell be carved down to the magma sea, at the same time I have issued the construction of the water reactor facility and a exuberant amount of pipes, EC screws, and blocks. This project will be difficult to complete, but we must bring magma to us.

15th Felsite
A theif was spotted near the construction site for the water reactor facility, Ulric was despatched to take care of the vermin. The thief was deftly dealt with, it had its limbs severed before it was killed. Those parts have been sent to the Atom Smasher. I have made a fatal error, the water in our area freezes in winter. This will cause a issue with the reactor, I had it deconstructed and moved underground, from there we should be able to fill the chambers with water easier as well. A win, win situation.

1st Hematite
The new hospital is dug-out, just need the beds, tables, and traction benches. But my attention is draw to the WRF if we can harness power of water, we can use magma for other things, even farm obsidian. I will finally put a use to all those un-fashioned doors, they will be the water gates for the WRF.
21st Hematite
The craftsdwarf that went into a un-reversible depression, finally died of thurst. In other terms the order all stone and gems will be placed in the centre of the fortress, and the WRF is almost ready to be put into action. All that needs to be done is the walls and floors smoothed, watergate access and the control room completed.
14th Malachite
Limul Bidokodok one of our woodcutters was savagely mauled by a seal, as we were treating him all he could scream was “They can look into your SOUL!” eventually when he was given booze he calmed down and went to sleep. The seal had bit his left lower arm and right foot with such force it shattered the bone, I think is lucky injury was the bruised muscle in his upper left arm. He is being treated as I write this report, damn wildlife is hindering my progress. Maybe the new squad of soldiers need some combat training? Yes these seals must be removed from the area, can’t have something gazing into your souls can we?
27th Malachite
More migrants... sigh more paperwork we already have seventy-four bodies, honestly how many more people do we need? I have a feeling we will have a larger military buy the time I’m finished filling out all these forms. Ok we have:
A pump operator: drafted to building crew and weaponsmithing
Another medic: assigned bedroom within new hospital.
Child: when I tried to tell it to be on the building crew it just screamed “I can do what a please!” little brat...
Another medic: same as last medic
Animal caretaker: more of animal pisstaker, assigned lye, ash, and soap making
A Bowyer: been given a axe for wood cutting and building crew
Peasent: Been made Captain of the guard, pissed Ulric off but I don’t give a shit about her (weird name for a girl)
Another pump operator: same as last one
And that is it for
17th Galena
We are besieged by overgrown lizards with speech impediments, they only have copper gear so our military should handle them. As a precaution all civilians are ordered to remain indoors, the merchants should be protected by their guards and the enemy eradicated by our soldiers.

Hugo, your the best(and the only other person who is even active on this thread) overseer The Outrageous Boat has ever had! Oh, here's a bit of a history lesson: The founders of Portalpriests were known as "The Outrageous Boat". I just think that "The Outrageous Boat" is a WAY better name than Portalpriests! History lesson over, now skat ya crazy ankle-biters! :PI will try har HAR! And thank you, you don't know how hard it is to write something without anyone egging you on. Here are a few more updates, Autumn is almost over. Also Since I'm pretty much the only overseer active... I might as well take two game years? I'll copy the save once I hit spring so that once someone comes and wishes for a round they can right away.

Migrants... Again this is getting outrageous... Heh, did I just make a pun. Ok here’s the list of
A cheese maker that is drafted to military as a speardwarf.
A gem cutter that is now also doing cloth and furnace operating.
A trapper that is now in the military.
A lye maker which I gave wood burning and soap making to.
A herbalist that was a hammerdwarf, drafted
A glassmaker, drafted
And a cook, drafted
It’s almost late autumn I don’t have much time to get the WRF up and running, so that maybe another overseer may take over my project: “MAGMA to LAVA” aka bring the magma sea to the surface.
pretty small update eh? I'm acually trying to intergrate a First Person/ Novel like writing style, just haven't figured it out yet. Also I'm trying to fit the poem in as well :)

15th Timber
Some meowkin have some whatever the hell they are, I swear Astis must have been smoking too much prescribed ratweed. We also had a birth, some engraver not important. But I have managed to get some of the words that are scribbled at the back of Hugo’s journal, and this is what it reads:
“I never once had faith in Astis, no faith at all with him only in myself and my sword and axe. Some dwarves pray to Astis while others worship their goods, we all are in the same Outrageous Boat doesn’t matter, those who pray die like us who don’t. Astis doesn’t make a bog troll have mercy, doesn’t make your enemy stumble during combat giving you a opening. No Astis never did that, I remember back in the mountain homes when my title was captain of the guard. The days of sparring with the recruits were good, I still remember one lad, Zan we called him. Every time he went to spar or go into battle, he would pull out a small carving of Astis around his neck, and pray for strength. I thought it was non-sense but kept my mouth closed, whatever gives someone courage to fight and go on is good enough for me. But life is cruel as it seems, Lizardmen had sieged us and managed to get to the barracks, and the barracks were the only thing between the enemy and civilians.
The main army was out fighting bog trolls and void walkers, the recruits weren’t ready. But the general thought they were, he also had told me ‘You and your squad is good enough to defend any choke-point, and this whole fortress is a bloody choke-point.’ he laughed and clapped me on the shoulder making my armor rattle before he departed on the campaign, smiling weakly at his joke, later I regretted it.
Rushing to help the recruits, they had been pushed back from the main gate and the lizardmen had sabotaged the bridge mechanisms so we couldn’t raise it. The final stand was the barracks, and my squad was too late. Only two recruits were left against over forty lizards, I could see from the distance that I was ‘Sodel, Kib, Get your crossbows up into the towers. Rest of you with me!’ everything slowed down, just like it always did before a fight. Zan was one of the remaining recruits, he always sparred with me. He held his own against the lizardmen, keeping his head and shield up, block stab, parry kick slash, dodge charge neck stab. Then a lizard got lucky and snuck his axe past Zan’s defences, it was swung with such savagery that it bit through the chainmail, I could see blood but Zan fought on, he severed the arm of the offending lizard and continued to fight, this time he started screaming ‘FOR ASTIS!’ every time he swung his sword. I was almost there just a few more steps, but Zan was getting slow from blood loss and shock and the lizards took advantage of that, they hacked off his shield arm and left leg at the knee.
One was getting ready for the finishing blow before getting tackled my me, must have felt like a steel cannon ball hit him. Before it could get up I rammed my dagger up through its chin into its filthy brain, I went into a trance, it felt like being underwater and my instincts from years of war took over. My shield arm went up to block a axe I didn’t even see, spinning with my shield up and axe out, the manoeuver won me blocked attacks and severed legs, roaring and jumping into the next group of lizards leaving the crippled ones for my squad to finish, I hacked one in the neck right were the shoulder connects, and bashed another in the face with my shield before decapitating it. I swung wide to scare a group back, but got my axe embedded in the chest of one sneaking up, kicking the dying lizard back and pulling my sword from its sheath, to a human it’s a longsword, to us dwarves it’s a zwei-hander.
A lizard began to charge, tossing my shield at it, hitting the windpipe with a satisfying crunch it fell. Just me, my armor, and zwei-hander and all my years of killing. Easy. With a hop skip spin and swinging the sword high to low, freeing arms and legs from their owners and biting deep into another lizard killing it instantly, four down, turning quickly to parry a axe just stopping it a inch from my head, with one hand on the handle and the other holding the blade near the top, and on one knee there wasn’t much I could do. Casually the lizard kicked me in the chest knocking me down, others were gathering around. This new lizard was bigger and more muscular, was this the end? That thought was banished as a rain of bolts hit the lizards like rain on a pond, the big lizard was hit in the leg bringing it to a knee and stopping its finisher but over ten were killed or mortally wounded. Jumping up and swinging with all my strength at the big lizard’s head only to meet its axe, it severed the axe head off but it as enough to buy the lizard time to grab my wrist. So I punched it in the face hearing a crunch as the socket was fractured and bit the offending hand, it jerked my hand to the side making me drop my sword, ripping my dagger free and stabbing for its face only to have that wrist grabbed, It pulled out the bolt in its leg and tried to stab me, I grabbed its wrist. So there we were staring into each others eyes trying to stab and not be stabbed. Both tired, its injury made it even ground with my size, two battle hardened warriors. It must have saw it too in my eyes as I did in its, and it bared its teeth in a attempt to grin. And all of a sudden its tongue came out of its mouth dripping with blood, no a spear head, tossing the body aside a grinning Shorast took its place.
The surviving lizards turned tail and ran, while my squad killed those crippled or wounded. Stumbling over to Zan I knelt and cradled his head ‘Hugo...’ coughing up some blood, ‘I tried Hugo, there was just so many. But I put all our sparring experience in, it just wasn’t enough I guess.’ he reached up with his only arm, and pulled out the small carving ‘Astis has watched and protected me well, I want you to have this to protect you.’ he died in my arms with a smile on his face, somehow that cut into my heart. I lost friends and family and didn’t care about anything anymore, but this young soul didn’t deserve this. So taking the small carving I went into the fortress, a few weeks after I was sent to Portalpriests. Were I lay dying now from some ‘Mysterious Substance’ as the doc says. Like I said before I never had faith in Astis, but know I’m holding this carving of him and praying for salvation, maybe I’m too late to pray? Maybe Astis was never real... Wait the whole room just filled with white light, I’m not in pain anymore, I feel at peace.”
Scribbled on the back cover is this:
Through the fires and the blaze...
Through the hills of evil...
Past the smoking goblins...
There she lies.
Enter the halls...
Open the doors...
Close the vents...
I SEE YOU.
THROUGH THE NIGHT AND THE DAY,
PAST THE BLAZE AND THE HAZE,
BEYOND THE SHADOWS OF THE VOID,
WE!
WILL!
RISE!
In the halls and each room,
Past the gloomy dark goons,
That evil par-a-site!
Rise today,
Fall tonight!
Wake up.

The WRF is almost ready the turbines are built and pumps in place all we need is too hook up the levers and watergates, I’ve ordered probably around 200 gears built. I am giddy with excitement, but a little worried as on Hugo’s journal there was this as well:
Ostar is *can’t decipher the text* brought Ulric *the rest is unreadable*.
Ulric... Ostar the forgotten beast and our Ulric...

That brought a tear to my eye, THAT was book-worthy! You should really think about writing your own books! It felt like there should be some music playing at the part where that poor boy was dying. Very dramatic, very good quality...it's beyond quality! :DThat legit brought a smile to my face, and I'm going to upload the save. And work on my Mod, and my acual story ;) its 4: chapters long now, it has 44936 characters, 10403 words, 482 sentances, and 46 paragraphs. But even when I upload the save, and no other takers come along I'll contuine the second year, slowly but surely. Probally between genning test worlds for my mod.
UPDATE!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20th Moonstone
Everything has been hooked up and the water gates have been opened, now we wait. Some people haven been complaining about buzzards, so the military have been dispatched. I have also set a watch on Ulric, with her being super-dwarvenly is very concerning.
28th Moonstone
No odd reports about Ulric other then she walks funny, and the soldiers.....
“Professor Lloyd, It’s Working.”
“The Water Reactor Facility is running?”
“Yes sir, not all of the reactors are running. But they will as soon as they finish filling with water.”
“Excellent Scrubs, I want to take a look with my own eyes.”
“Yes sir, follow me sir.”
Rushing down the halls of the hospital and out the doors, passing the mass storage, and down the extra long path to the WRF we finally reached the double doors. If we take a left (east) we will head to the barracks and armory, but we took the right (west) path to the WRF. And it took all my reserve and professionalism to keep calm, but I was as excited as a child getting a piece of candy. There was even a little dwarf inside me doing a jig, this may have been Hugo’s idea. But I made it real. The two in the right corner (south-west) turned and groaned, Scrubs beside me was grinning. She loved this stuff as much as I do, she’s even legendary at it better yet her last name is Gearclean.

“What is the output of each reactor?”
Scrubs looked up and silently counted as she did calculations in her head,
“Well sir, each wheel makes 100 Urists and there are two, that’s 200 Urists, the gear assembly and pump take 35 Urists to run, making a total of 165 Urists of power from each reactor.”
“And how many Urists when we get all thirty reactors running?”
More silent counting.
“165 Urists time 30 would be 4950 Urists of power sir.”
“Now the magma sea is 140 levels below the designated forges.”
“That would be... 2100 Urists to power sir.”
“Good then we shou...”
“But sir that’s just a ball park figure, we haven’t taken account of all the axles and other parts that require power...”
“Then make it happen Scrubs.”
I was happy now I’m just angry, why did the magma have to be so deep. Better get the parts ordered for all the pumps.
16th Opal
Everything went to a crawl, I mean really time slowed down to a limbo. At least movements we could talk and think like normal, but moving was just agonizing slow. I have ordered that the emergency drain on the WRF be pulled and time can resume its natural rate. A wise man that sat outside all day to determine how fast the world moves, he watched the birds. On a good day a bird can get 100 flaps per second (FPS) but at a busy fortress time slows down like now. I went outside which felt like and eternity and saw a bird, it had 9 FPS that means the world is 91% slower then normal. Soon I’ll call the WRF the DOFPS (Destroyer of Flaps Per Second), but I still need it to draw magma. It’s mid-winter, I don’t have long.
22nd Opal
The WRF has been stopped, have issued a switch to be hooked up to the pumps so we can turn it off and on. So when we need magma, we can then turn it off once we are done. And im ordering places for the magma pumps to be cut.
OOC: holy crap I’ve been in pause mode for the longest time and im not even halfway done :(
25th Obsidian
Some of angel-like people came, they brought stuff but they wouldn’t trade, so I ordered them dead, a lot of blood and gore followed and we lost two soldiers. The magma pump stack slots have been dug. And my year is almost up.
8th Granite
I have overstayed my overseer duties by a week, may the next be able to finish what I started.
NOTE: All levers in the WRF control room have notes explaining their use, as well I will be selecting another dwarf for my story telling perspective. As it seems I've accidently gave this fortress a plot :P

Engraved on the wall is a image of "The Master" and "Hugo_the_Dwarf". "The Master" is striking a menacing pose, "Hugo_the_Dwarf" is in the fetal position. This image relates to the hold-up due to "Hugo_the_Dwarf's" dial-up connection rejecting uploading the save.
on a serious note I should have my high-speed set up 2morrow if not I've making some phone calls and I'm making a scene. I do not like holding anyone or anything up, I'm very punctual and like things done right. I am so very sorry on the hold-up

I recently have been "elected" overseer of this dump. I wish I could've just stayed in the mountain homes, but no, my father just HAD to have an affair with the princess. Oh well. This fortress, I guess you could say that it's not all bad, and it's quite peaceful.

I'm just walking down a hallway when all of sudden I hear five distinct howls! I instantly knew what could only have made those noises...forgotten beasts...worse yet, when I asked the old overseer about it, he simply stared about me, muttered something about five demons, then walked away.

Man was it a mess, so many dwarves in a hurry to get something to the depot for trade, that all I could see was arms, legs, and beards all jammed into the small passageway that lead the wide clearing for the depot. Taking a calming breath I tackled the mountain of flesh and cloth, why is it so hard for a broker to do his job?
What seemed like a lifetime I managed to get on the other side of the bodies, life as a dwarf. Walking over to the depot I was glad to see my cousin from the mountain home, Vucar and myself were always close. We both share the desire to trade, so he became a merchant and me a broker.
“Ah Darius, you survived another year here in this death trap? Glad to see you again cos.”
“And I to you Vucar, why would you think I wouldn’t? Haha we have much to discuss. Such as you taking all this junk.” gesturing to the mountain of trade goods that stood eight times a dwarf.
“But Darius, that’s 69564 dwarf bucks of goods, and what you requested is 39466 dwarf bucks.”
“Vucar, this fortress is littered with crap, hell someone forgot a nest box and a damn turtle hatched a freaking hoard of critters. We are still trying to slaughter them all, we wont be short supply of shell that’s for damn sure.”
“Well cousin you have made me a rich dwarf, maybe I can convince the merchants guild to acquire more of your ‘demands’ hehe.” Vucar rubbed his hands together as he gazed at the mountain of riches
“Well Vucar I must depart, It was good seeing you again. Hopefully you will have my ‘demands’ by next autumn.” Vucar smiled and nodded then turned to his merchant team and hollered orders for packing.
Getting back into the fortress was easier then getting out, I began the labourious journey back to my bedroom for relaxation. The bottleneck was now empty and access to the first door was easy, passing through it and walking by the randomly placed floor hatch and into the hallway with a abandoned ballista turned decorative. Stopping at the doors of the fabled “Madhouse” placing a hand on the handle and opening the door, and placing one foot in front of the other staring at the floor. It was rough laid limestone, we have a abundance of it, and it’s everywhere damnit. The hall curves a bit then come the a fork, although the fork leads to the same spot. Taking the left path is faster to my room, originally this was a hospital but now those rooms are now bedrooms, and mine is larger then them all and nicer too. Speaking of my room there it is... But why is my door slightly ajar? Pushing the door open I could she movement in the corner “Who’s there?”
“Ah Darius there you are, I’ve been looking for you.”
“Professor Lloyd?”
Stepping out of the darkness clutching some old journal to his chest like someone wants to steal it, he stopped in the middle of the room
“Darius, I would like you to be the ‘Overseer’ personally I enjoyed this jaunt. But by forces unseen I must hand over this title, you see we aren’t alone.”
“What are you talking about Professor?”
“Oh, nothing. Just have fun as ‘Overseer’ I have a hospital to run.”
With that Professor Lloyd rushed out of the room muttering under his breath, I didn’t really catch any of it. So I’m now ‘Overseer’ *sigh* right on I suppose.

Can nobody walk around here without bumping into someone or something? These passages are too small, first order of business is to have all passages widened. Not too bad for the first day as Overseer, I think a nice barrel of lime vodka will suffice, maybe have a platinum ring made and encrusted with blue jade. Nah lime vodka is enough, for now. Argh my legs are killing me, and im short of breathe. Maybe I should hit the barracks for some training? No too tiring, well there’s two things females love. That is big things and rich dwarves, well I’m both so being fat isn’t so bad.
* * * * *
Astis is real, if I’m to believe Hugo’s notes. Giving Darius the position as Overseer was just to lower my profile, The connection of Ostar and Ulric is still non-existent. But I will crack this case, if my suspicions are correct... Then we must take action.
* * * * *
Blasted creatures, I don’t even know what the heck a carbuncle is, or a jackalope. I’m having all these critters placed under the holy ATOM SMASHER. I have to say it was Professor Lloyd’s greatest idea, hopefully noone reads this... But I talk to her at night when everyone’s sleeping, she doesn’t respond, but I like to touch her lever. All that power...
* * * * *
Winter has come, Darius’s grand plan of dumping excess food and un-needed items is still underway. Nothing on Ulric as of yet, and defiantly no injured dwarves. It’s a good thing but my medical skill I feel is going to waste. Lately I haven’t been able to observe Ulric, as she spends all her time training the soldiers, or lounging in her specially made ‘Heroes’ room. I’m starting to regret giving Darius the Overseer duty... He has gone power mad already, he just ordered a castle be built for him, with a Temple to Astis.
* * * * *
Ah I love being Overseer, my word is law. And I feel like I’ve been neglected for far too long, so my own personal castle is being built by my

* * Later that night * *
It was dark and quiet, not a sound could be heard in the fortress. Save that of Darius the Book-Keep, as he scuttled and tip-toed through the hallways. Everything about his lard coated features was sneaky tonight, even his hands padded the air sneakily as if to make him lighter. He went through a few doors, and down some ramps. Past the dorm where the room-less dwarves slept, stifling a snicker that threatened to explode to violent outburst. For what Darius intends this night, is to play with a toy of his. He reached the final ramp as the smell of rot and animals did his nose, and then he crept. Like a over-fed cat stalking a blind, deaf, and crippled mouse, he slithered towards the lever. Caressing it, he spoke softly "You like it when daddy holds you like this? I bet you do. What’s that? You want me to pull you? I don’t know baby, what if the fortress hears? Hehe your right, what the fort don’t know wont hurt it." and with that he gave a mighty pull. Several clanks and groaning of gears later, the atom smasher came down like a hand of god. Crushing everything under it, Carbuncles, Jackalopes, Turtles, bones, corpses, food, seeds, and whatever refuse the dwarves had thrown there. Was wiped from existence. So then Darius the Fat made his way back to his room, all the way across the fortress. Smiling.

MIGRANTS! Yes more hands to build my castle, but I have noticed that some of the mechanics have been going away for a bit then showing up sometime later. One of my informants tell me Professor Lloyd has in mind a project to bring magma to us, and it involves water. I always thought water turned magma into solid obsidian? I’ve grown lax in my book keeping skills, then again I only did what I had to.
* * * * *
I have lead a band of fellow dwarves to a place called Portalpriests, It is fairly unique. A grand wall is being built and a castle as well, there was a random door-less building I passed to the entrance. I was expecting a cheerful greeting with open arms, open arms is right as I was drafted to mason duty to help with the construction of the castle. The guy who ordered this, and drafted me was Darius. A immensely obese and short dwarf, waving a goat haunch around like a sceptre and taking a bite letting grease run down his mouth and into his beard.
Spoiler: Darius (click to show/hide)
Someone dropped a stone “Hey! Do that again and I’ll put you in the SMASHER!” with that sudden outburst chewed meat sprayed and got embedded in his beard as well. “YOU!” pointing his menacing lunch at me as if it where a dagger “Pick up a rock, AND START WORKING!”. I walked off towards where the other three dwarves that came with me where. “Boi Janus, di’ ya real’y just bring us here? It’s a slave camp, but it’s probal’y better then Trol’s.” Onol’s heavy accent was hard to understand, but the others nodded in agreement. Agreeing to this is better or worse, I don’t know yet.
OOC: There is still alot to build, like the magma pump-stack its almost complete tho. And the Castle could be done before my turn is up, I donno

A farmer was enraged at being hungry, thirsty, getting woken up at night, not having his own room, not enough tables and chairs. So he punched our mayor in the face, and being a farmer he was a bit too strong and crushed the mayor’s skull killing him instantly.
Summer has come, the WRF and the MPS (Magma Pump Stack) are close to the testing stage. We are still Stage 2 of the castle, and will be for some time. As scaffolding must be built, and then removed, and built again in some places, leading to difficult building. But Darius wants it built before spring, I don’t think that is possible. - David Cryptmet, Professional Manson.
* * Within the Water Reactor Facility * *
“Scrubs, is the W.R.F. and M.P.S. ready for operation?” Scrubs started clicking her tongue, something she does when trying to remember something. She would have outright said yes if she had hooked it up herself, but with Darius power mad, she had to make appearances. It was up to her staff to set it all up, and from their reports she had her answer.
“Yes Professor, they are ready. Myself and one of my staff will assist me in turning the reactors manually, but once they pick up momentum they will power themselves.”
“Scrubs I have a question. Is the extra level we dug out needed?”
Her tongue clicked again as sh counted off her fingers, it’s been a few years since this project was started, and recalling the Input/Output of Urists wasn’t too hard but not easy to find either. 4950 Urists of output, and with all the pumps, gears, and axles the input needed would be 2934 Urists.
“No Professor, it as only a precaution. It would have been there if we needed it.”
“Good thinking scrubs. Now let’s fire it up and bring glory to our people.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Scrubs and started the lower level, and I watched the Uirst-O-Graph
“200 Urists, 400 Urists, 600 Urists, 900, Urists and still rising. Scrubs this is incredible, yes I know we had it working years ago but it was flawed.”
“Professor look, the Urists... They...”
“Have over exceeded out expectations. 5600 Urists that is 650 more Urists then calculated. Quickly hook up the MPS the FPS have dropped from 58 to 13, we don’t have much time before everything gets caught in limbo.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Scrubs tried to go as fast as she could, but with the WRF consuming FPS and Water to create the needed Urists it was like watching someone crawl through hardening plaster. But she finally made it, sliding the connecting axle into the gearbox and pulling the lever to activate it. The U-O-M was reading 5400 to 5800 Urists but there was a problem, the required Urists were dropping, why? Oh no
“Scrubs shut it down, the pumps are melting. The magma is too hot, SHUT IT DOWN!”
* * At Darius Castle * *
Something really weird happened, I was just about to take a bite from this delicious tallow roast then everything slowed down. Felt like it took me hours to take one bite, then it went back to normal. There was more migrants, I’m too lazy to take their names and professions. They will be told by someone else to build the castle, also where is Professor Lloyd? He’s been missing of late.

Ah humans have arrived, maybe they have some lime vodka? Or Platinum, either is fine. Argh those blasted Nephl... Nerpali... What ever those winged people are have come to “Trade” but never have anything, so the military can kill them and their little warthog too. On second thought all their warthogs, and take their “Trade” goods from the bodies. As the military was moving some lizardmen decided to ambush Kivish one of our furnace operators, can’t have him killed now.
“Ulric!”
“Yes my lord?”
“Lord I like that, there’s a dwarf. Kivish to be exact, some lizardmen ambushed him. Take care of it.”
“Right away my lord.”
I don’t like how she looks at me, like she finds me disgusting. I’m rich, and large. How could she look at me like I’m disgusting?
* * * * *
Why hasn’t Ostar ordered me to kill these stunted vermin yet? And that fat pompous one orders me around like a slave, hell he even made me his personal bodyguard. Just cause my custom bedroom was under his castle, he orders a hole poked in the roof and stairs to be built. Then he seals the ramp off, so now I have to walk through the castle to come and go from my room. Ok Kivish were are you? Ah there he is running from some lizards like Darius said.
Rushing at the lizardman and letting loose a roar, I collided with the startled lizard and my shield hit its foot hard making a snapping sound must have been a toe, It got knocked over and I swung my G.V.S.R. (Glistening Voidshard Razor) It rolled and I missed its chest but I lopped its left leg off at the knee and its tail, then I chopped its right leg off. I just got plan mad at its scrabbling so I bit it in the head but its leather hood was too thick, this pissed me off so I chopped the rest of its left leg off and kicked it hard, but it brought its arm up so I managed to break its elbow and lower arm. Cutting off its left hand and punching it in the guts, it tried to get up so I punched it in the face and hacked its head off. Then I drop kicked another one trying to fix its hood, breaking its hand in the process and stabbing it in the lower body. I continued to curb stomp the sorry creature and stab and hack at it. So many frustrations in this damn fortress, I was killing so many of them, That I even killed a thief even before someone screamed about it. Lizards and Trolls what next? A ambush of Bog Trolls? Yes there was, like always I killed them. This midget squad I command is useless, what I would give to me human again...
* * * * *
So many thieves good thing I sent Ulric to deal with the first batch of invaders, good for me. What would these dwarves do without me? There loving ruler and broker.
“Ah yes, what have the humans brought us today?”
“Well Darius we...”
“That’s lord Darius human.”
“Erm.. Yes lord Darius. We brought...”
“Oooooo Lime Vodka, I’ll take it, and your weapons, and metal toys and stuff, and your sand.”
“Umm ok...”
“Good now off with you.”
Ah that went well “HEY YOU! GET BACK TO BUILDING MY CASTLE!” yup all is good.

“Scrubs, what’s the report on our metal?”
“Not too good Professor, I have asked some of the glassmakers for help.”
“We need magma-safe materials, if this project is to succeed.”
“I know sir, but... Darius grows more...”
“Ignorant and sated? Yes, he wallows in his self absorption like a child in its own faeces. Nothing we can do.” What have I done by placing him as overseer?
“Mid-Autumn approaches soon, the shift will take its course. We cannot compete with time sir, if only Darius cou-”
“NEIN! Dat is not the vay ve should go, und vhy am I speaking dis vay? I may have suffered a small stroke, only small. As you may see I’m perfectly fine, only slight speech difference. Anyvay Darius vould only have us imprisoned, and ask us silly questions like ‘Do you have signed papers?’ und he vouldn’t give us those papers.”
“Why would he do that?”
“Because miss Scrubs, he is a power-mad. He hates others that think on there own, he needs control to feed his hunger.”

More migrants have come, not like we really need anymore dwarves as we have 135 bodies as is. Well here are the newcomers.
first one is Cog a high master cook. He can be my personal chef.
Zan a brewer, drafted to mason and army duty.
Geshud a jeweller, but I’m drafting him to army (croswbowman)
Kivish miller, also drafted in army (crossbow)
Zunter animal dissector, mason duty and farming
Some random medic that makes lye
And that’s all for extra mouths unless they are building my castle, My room is complete, even complete with funiture, I even had Ultrawaxes the armor stand put in here. After all I’m the new royalty, I deserve the best. So I shall remain in my castle, unless of course there is a siege or something that is life threatening. Then I’ll be with the lowly peasants, more bodies between me and the danger means more of a chance I live. And oh joy, my dinning room is almost complete. And my office will be right below that.

There is only 27 days until winter, and now my talking is messed up due to a stroke in humans it’s fatal, and if it doesn’t kill them... Well dead would be better. But dwarves it’s no more then a hiccup, only sometimes it has strange effects. Like when someone claims a workshop and has to make a artifact, when they become legendary at something we all that a “Stroke of Luck”. Nobody takes me seriously anymore, but the migrants that came, the one with the funny cap and sideburns looked at me with terror. All I did was say “Greetings to Portalpriests. Vere sha living vish to die, und sha dead von’t die. Now all the fighting und dying that goes around here, I get to verk ‘ith a lot of injured. So I hope I don’t see you soon, don’t need any burnt biscuits.”

It is late autumn now, and my Castle is built, well mostly. It has room for improvements and additions, like the drop tower is not complete yet. But my rooms are done and I will enjoy this castle of mine, nobody will that this away from me. As long as I draw breath, I Darius Broker and Overseer swear to this!

I have got a good amount of bronze and green glass pipes and screws for the MPS (Magma Pump Stack) if anyone wants to finish it that is rockin, if not don't matter. Also if anyone wants to add more to the castle be free to, to me its big, but to my 3D viewer it looks pathetic.

Tensions are at an all time high. That great tub of lard sits in his lump of rock he calls a castle. I have heard whispers of a ... "Violent regime change". I for one will not stand for this. I must enforce disipline in this fortress, and to do that... Well I must take care of the Root of this problem. Your time as "ruler" has come to an end Dariush the fat. I will restore order in this fortress or die trying. This I swear.

"Dariush"
"That's LORD Dariush to you general."
"I think not."
"What are you saying? I am overseer here not you."
"And therein lies the problem, for you see a true leader commands the respect of those loyal to them, and you Dariush, do not."
"Watch your tongue Kisame or you may lose it."
"The fortress grows weary of your rule you fat, lazy slob, and as protector of this fortress and the dwarves who call it home I think you are doing more harm than good."
"I will not stand for this! Guards! Arrest this traitor!"
"Arrest me? Hah good luck finding a dwarf who is loyal enough to you to arrest me their general, Dariush."
"Then I shall be rid of you myself!"
"You flatter yourself thinking that you are a match for me. Face it your time as overseer is over, and no amount of gold or riches shall change that."
"You shall pay for this Kisame. Mark my words, you shall pay dearly for this."
"Says you and whose army? Oh right MY army. Now begone, my patience is wearing thin, Dariush the fat."

I got a lot on my plate lately. I have to work 7 and a half hours a day, I need to do some blacksmithing for the 27th, I'm drawing all the dwarves of Towersoared, and while I let DF run I make chainmaille. So yeah I'm a bit busy lately but that will not stop me from doing my damnedest to update in time.Peace my friend, I understand. I remember when my life was that hectic, take your time. make small detailed updates, or a update with a nice screenie. Your actions within Portalpriests effect my Secret Project. Remember just have fun, you got 2 weeks, No pressure (at least from me)

That pompus idiot is finally under control. I am now ruler of Portalpriests. My first order of buisiness is to order the construction of bins. This place is a mess, what with the workshops overflowing with projects and slowing down the workers. Second is to reinforce the military with new recruits. They aren't too tough yet but we'll whip them into shape soon enough. Third is to equip our newest soldiers with something more deadly than their hands. I've order the forging of 10 steel battle axes and some crossbows. Also I think is shall turn Dariush's castle into a new barracks. Yes I quite like that idea.
OCC: I really is a complete fucking mess oh my god. The first hour of playing was spent finding shit. update on the weekend hopefully.

We have started on moving the equipment from our old barraks to the castle. Also I seemed to notice that there are crossbowdwarves in our military but no targets for them to train on. Seeing as they could use the practice I have ordered the construction of a firing range in one of the castles towers. The armor and weapons I ordered were taking a long time to get here so I went to the forge to see what was wrong. Not a single dwarf was there! I asked around and found that all the dwarfs skilled in metalcrafting were moving stones! I immediatly ordered all the metalsmiths to drop the rocks and work on the bloody equiment! Well no use getting too worked up about it. Time to teach the troops how the five D's.

Five dwarves stand assembled within the Water Reactor Facility, designed by the late Hugo and implemented by Professor Lloyd. Professor Lloyd had requested Scrubs to gather the loyal workers, when she left Professor Lloyd made some adjustments to the controls. He had finished up with the tweaks when Scrubs returned with Blair their trusted miner, with her carpentry skills she helped setup all the axles and waterwheels. David and Rahn, engravers and masons their skills helped Blair shape the reactors and set up the water gates and gears under Scrubs supervision. “Now zat ve have assembled dis Facility, It is time ve set in motion our great genius. Ve vill bring Armok’s blood to us, vith it a new era vill force dis von to succumb to change. I must admit, I vas der von dat made Darius Overseer. Dis vas a grave mistake, if I had known dis vas to happen... Vell I vould have stayed as overseer. So now ve vill strike at the heart of the Reich! Vhen der magma flows through out forges, our fellow dwarves vill see dat ve are more qualified as overseer.”
(http://img.ie/8c762.png)
* * Darius’s Castle: Bedroom * *
This must be deja vu, I was going to take a bite from a tallow roast. And I felt it, a tingling at the nape of my neck. Something was wrong an- “Darius, I mean My Lord. Professor Lloyd and four others have been seen heading towards the Water Reactor Facility wha-“
“BLAST! He’s at it again, damn Lloyd and his experiments. He will destroy this entire fortress with his hair brained notion, It’s not possible to bring the magma sea to the surface. Only Armok can do that, and even that is even messy. Come Janus we must stop them, rouse your sister Ulric.” “Right away my Lord.”
* * Water Reactor Facility * *
“Hurry, ve don’t have much time before Darius and his hounds get here.”
“We are working as fast as we can Professor, even with the extra help it takes time.”
“Ja, your point Miss Scrubs? If ve can get dis Facility running, dey von’t be able to shut it down. Every von have der Lustrum Powder?”
“Why do we need Lustrum Powder?”
“Because David, Lustrum is a source of power. Vith it ve can negate the effects DFPS.”
“DFPS?”
“Ja, DFPS or Decreasing Flaps Per Second, answer you question Rahn? Gut, get back to verk.”
* * Pathway to Water Reactor Facility * *
Going at a fast walk was as fast as I could go without getting too tired, Janus and Ulric trailed behind me. Ulric had a bored expression on her face, and Janus sneered at any passerby that glanced at us. The double doors for the fork to the Water Reactor Facility and now abandoned Barracks, which now only houses weapons and armor. “We must make haste you two, I can feel that they are beginning. We must stop them.”
* * Water Reactor Facility * *
“Miss Scrubs vould you kindly pull ze leva’?”
“Yes sir pulling the lever.”
“Professor what will happen if Dar-“
The doors to the control room burst open as Janus and Ulric rushed in, with Darius casually walking in. “What do we have here, looks like five traitors to me. Ulric lock them all up in my dungeon.” Yawning Ulric made no effort that she would be grabbing them today “Darius , Lord. Whatever I don’t feel like doing it today.” “You will do it TODAY ULRIC! THAT’S MY COMMAND! AND YOU WILL OBEY!” David tried to run under the distraction but Janus grabbed his arm, startled David flung his bag of Lustrum powder coating himself, Janus, and Darius. “These are my good clothes, Janus beat him.”
“With pleasure, now you will know pain David”
“Oh no Please!”
“PULL ZE LEVA’!”
“STOP OR YOU ALL WILL BE EXECU-“
*CLICK*
(http://img.ie/8c5a6.png)
Professor Lloyd had made a mistake in his calculations, Lustrum is a power source. But only a few handfuls would be enough to stop the Water Reactor Facility from taking power from them, and thus leaving them safe from the effects of DFPS. But they had nearly fifteen times the required amount, and when the gears turned and the reactors started drawing water and FPS the Large amount of Lustrum reacted with unexpected results. So much power had generated in a fraction of a millisecond it created what is called Limbo, Time and Space was warped and broken. A distortion wave was emitted from the Lustrum, those covered and holding it were spared. But Ulric was repelled and went into a rift which opened and closed so fast, that it seemed she disappeared in a heat haze. Everything moved and shifted a thousand times in a blink, few of the current seven were unaffected by the inevitable nausea. Unconsciousness quickly followed as time jumped back forth, sped up and slowed down...[/i]
* * Somewhere 1,000,000,000 years and three worlds later * *
It was cold, I could feel it. I wanted sleep, but my body screamed wake up. Opening my eyes I immediately shut them again, everything was blinding white. I am dead? No, Dwarfhalla would be warm with all the meat and mead a dwarf could eat and more.[I/] Once again I opened my eyes, this time only slightly. I now saw where I was, it was a frozen landscape. And the bright sun was reflected off the pure white snow, but there was tracks. Unsteadily I got up, I felt like a newborn kitten. I vaguely remembered what happen, all I remember is yelling at Rahn, Blair, and Scrubs to pull the lever. And everything blurred and changed colors, then a sharp pain in my head and I passed out. Looking around I can see Rahn, Blair and Scrubs near me. Not too far off was Darius and Janus, But I couldn’t see David. “David vere are you! David!” Where did he go?[/i]
The Castle was right in front of me, and a drop off in the ice behind me... And the tracks in the snow was what looked like dwarven, but there was others. A set of tracks led to the castle, "Everyvon vake up, ve must get to der shelter." everyone started to wake and rise. I started walking towards the Castle, and I could hear the snow crunch as the others followed. Inside that husk of the Castle there was thirteen others, one of them was David.
“David there you are, I had thought ve lost you.”
“No Professor, I had woke up on the other side of the castle. I saw there was some others from the fortress roaming around, so I gathered everyone here. I was just about to go out searching for more, then you guys showed up. We hunted some ice wolves and found various scattered equipment, but what scares the crap out of me is some of these tracks. Some are dwarf, others are human and elf. Even... Goblins and kobolds. And each footprint has a faint smell of death.”
“Hey what’ss this?”
“Darius NO!”
It was too late when he touched the ice layer, A giant cave spider leapt out and latched onto his head with its fangs. Janus and a few of the others charged the beast and killed it, but there was no bringing Darius back from the dead. Where the spider came from there was a fissure leading underground...
OOC: A GCS came and basically ate Darius before Janus could subdue the beast. Also hey yall heres the Secret Project and the new fortress Salvefences

Spoiler: The List (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: R.I.P (click to show/hide)
EDIT: There are four castes of Dwarves in this world
Normal - These are your standard run of the mill dwarf, nothing special
War - These dwarves heal faster, are naturally good at fighting, have no emotion or need of sleep. But get enraged at any hositle, can only eat meat , and see only half as far.
Hunt - These dwarves are naturally good at ambushing, archery, observering and tracking. They are good at dodging and have minor combat skills. Also they have built in combat styles
Priest - These dwarves can use magic, magic is good at defeating undead. They are more apt to use Temples as they learn magic and concentration faster, also they are naturals at it.

Post by: Hugo_The_Dwarf on August 24, 2011, 01:19:41 am
Shouts of yays and nays resounded through the assembled nineteen
Janus - “And what get eaten by whatever lurks down there? Have you seen my Lord Darius?”
Kisame - “Darius was a fat fool, and a power mad tyrant. Believe you me, he’s better off dead.”
Janus - “You take the back you scu-“
P. Lloyd - “I agree vith ze General’s statements, ve vill freeze up here. Vhat vill ve do? Rebuild ze castle?”
Janus - “Yes we cou-“
P. Lloyd - “Nein, ve cannot, vhy. Ve have no stone, no vay of building. And from vhat I have seen for tracks in the snow vould be that of undead. Hundreds of dem.”
Rahn - “Then what the hell are we waitin’ for? Let’s pack shit and go.”
David - “But the beasts...”
Scrubs - “David there was always beasts and monster, If it wasn’t lizardmen, it was trolls. Only think now is its us versus nature. And I don’t wanna stay and find out what are friendly dead friends are like.”
Kisame - “It’s settled then, Rahn prepare what little supplies we have. That goes for everyone else too, Janus stay here and defend the civilians and supplies. I’m going to scout and hopefully find a good spot for us to locate to.”
Picking up his iron battle axe, Kisame headed for the fissure...
* * The Fissure * *
This fissure doesn’t got that deep, already there’s a cave like pathways through the ice. Then I saw something, it bolted all I could see was antlers on a chicken. Chasing it down another ramp and curving around to my left there it was, some mutant bird I heard stories from my cousin that did a lot of spelunking. He’s dead now, helmet snake got him. The beast hid behind a pillar, when I came up to it I jumped and swung my axe as hard as I could. I was rewarded with a meaty thud and screech, it fell over in pain so I hacked it’s head off to finish the job. It could have been passive, it could have been aggressive. I had to protect what little I have left, and myself.
* * The Cavern * *
I’ve seen a cave once, at a old fort called Floodeddoors. It was full of squished passages and small open pockets, not this one. It was vast with wide open spaces, I could as far as I could in the dim green light the cave moss gave off. I could feel some warm air coming from the north, north west. Going at a steady jog down a few slopes, Already I could feel the warmth of the earth. Up ahead was another Elk Bird, It ran away when it saw me I guess they are timid beasts then it was blissfully hot. Right there a magma pool, near water as well. Better go topside and get everyone down here...
* * Topside * *
Janus patrolled around the ruined castle, and whenever he got around to were Darius laid he would glance and the body. Almost like a dog that lost its master, only lets hope he doesn’t turn rabid. Everything was taking its sweet time getting packed, can’t blame anyone. Its hard to move when your frozen, better yet grab anything with frozen fingers. “Everyvon ve must make haste, der is a storm coming.” Picking up a hunk of ice wolf meat, and headed for the fissure to wait. Then Kisame’s head popped out over the rim “Alright I found a good spot for us, There’s magma and water. Not the freshest water but its better then nothing. Come on you elves get packing, and get movin.” Everyone grabbed food and some items and started for the fissure, towards salvation. Or Damnation.
* * The Cavern * *
P. Lloyd - “I think dat ve should build a trade depot, maybe some travelling merchants saw us appear in dis land.”
Kisame - “Crazy, this is a dead world. Void of life I say.”
Scrubs - “What if the Professor is right?”
Kisame - “Fine. You there, build a damnable depot. You never know ‘Just in case’. Man a bunch of whiners.”
David - “Kisame I hu-“
Kisame - “For the love of Astis WHAT!”
David - “I hurt my finger.”
Kisame - “Don’t tell me, or bother me with that stuff. Talk to the good doctor Lloyd,”
P. Lloyd - “Dats Doctor Professor Lloyd to you, excuse me General I have a patient.”
The Project: Flash Freeze is ready for play
WARNING: THIS GAME IS HARDER THEN IT LOOKS, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Summary, the project was completed and two of the main chars died, Darius and Scrubs. and a small begining for the fort
tasks
Bury the dead ASAP or tantrum spiral will ensue
make the diningroom or a diningroom to make people happy.
Plant food pigtails, tower-caps and fungiwood (yes those are trees)

I am working on a newer version of the mod, that will include (a massive build-up) of new creatures items and civs. If anyone has any questions on how to use the new buildings (There are two reasource buildings, The 'Mine Shaft' and 'Temple of Regeneration') The Reasource Buildings are farily complex, The ToR is confusing (if you don't know how it works)Damn.

But the Mason's Workshop 2, Woodworkers Shop, Doctor's Desk, and Candleworker's Shop are pretty straight forward. The Woodworker's Shops main function is dismantling unused wooden items back into logs, making wooden wheels for the mine shaft, and Turning small trees into wood.

Quote
Temple of Regeneration (large building/ Unqiue 9x12, faces south only): Uses 10 building materials, 2 statues, and one alter
-Allows you to make and use Orbs of Regeneration
-Orbs of Regen are made from taking a piece of ore and four focus crystals
-Using a Orb of Regen yields a chance to conjure a piece of ore related to what the Orb is made of (Native Copper Orb of Regeneration = Native Copper Ore)
-There are three options you can do with a Orb of Regen
Use it on its own to have a 1% chance to make its related ore
Use it with focus crystals to give it a greater chance of yielding ore (using 8 crystals per orb always yields ore)
Use it with ritual crystals (higher grade focus crystal) they have a lesser chance of depleting and offer a 15% boast to ore yield
-Make focus crystals (from, rough,cut, and large gems NOTE: rough and cut always make one crystal regardless but have a chance to make up to five, where large gems always make two crystals and have a chance make up to ten crystals)
-Regular focus crystals are made from white, clear, and black gems (only by acual in-game color not name or description). Where Ritual focus crystals are made from sunstones, moonstones, and bloodstones.
-If a Orb of Regen is used on its own it depends on the users concentration skill, but if focus crystals are used then the users druidry skill is relied on.

Do you mind putting more statues in my tomb? put them 1 space apart, leading to the entrance, and engrave the walls, only the walls, not the floor
If it's not done by my turn can do, I need to make a reasting place for my dwarf's lover, as well as his bedroom

That Professor Loyd has really done it this time. I'd have him in chains if we didn't need the extra hands. I have left him in charge for now because he is better at solving the daily problems then I am. I asked him to carve out a barraks near the magma pipe. Also there was a smelter and forge constructed over the pipe until we can make a proper metalworks. On a side note that fat lump of flesh died in the... transfer along with Loyds aide, Scrubs. During the transfer we seemed to... change. I can't see as far as I used to be able to, and I get sick when I eats plants.

Today we got a big suprise. Migrants had come! They were headed towards another fortress, Sugarplant or something like that. They had gotten lost and were looking for shelter when they saw the castle. Guess it was good for something after all. There were at least 15 of them, cold, hungry, and tired. We had to carve out some new bedrooms for them, a little smaller than the others to save space and to get them dug out quickly. I've also noticed that I don't need to sleep very often... others in the fortress have noticed changes to themselves and in others. Whatever the Professor did, it sure is strange.
OCC:YAY MIGRANTS!! Our poulation is now up to 35 dwarfs. I carved out some 2x3 rooms for the new migrants to sleep in.

How would you feel if you were shoved into a 1x2 hole?We are talking about dwarves here.... They slaughter kittens and have no disregard for childcare or any humanine rights what-so-ever.... So maybe being lodged in a 1x2 hole helps them... ferment their dark thoughts?
Maybe when we get this fort up and running to a higher lvl we can mandate better rooms made, maybe even small cavern hovels.

I am sad to say that we lost two members of the military. Helga and Janus gave their lives bravely in the defence of the fortress. They both died of their injuries after fighting a blizzard man. Helgas husband Roboboy was struck hard by the news. I was worried that he might injure himself or others. Janus was a follower of Dariush but he redemed himelf by defending the lives of everyone in the fortress. In light of this I have recruited more dwarfs and am equipping them with battle axes instead of their bare hands. I have also recomended that professor Loyd have the masons build a defensive wall in the caverns and seal up the holes in the castle. He also ordered some traps to be built in the chasm to reduce an incoming enemy's numbers. I would rather not have to bury more of my men, so I agreed. i just hope its enough, for I have a sense of forboding.
OCC: here is the save
http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=4921
I have designated the holes in the castle walls to be sealed up. The cavern walls have not been designated but if you hurry they will be completed before the FB shows up. I have set the military to a one month training rotation, so they train for a month, then are off for a month. I have set the same orders for the second squad but no one is in it yet. I built a still, a kitchen, and a butchers for food and drink. Several dwarfs are unhappy but keep pumping out the booze and engrave the dining room and you should be fine.

I can't believe it. Overseer again? Why can't somebody else do this job? Well, it's no use crying over it. The castle walls are coming along nicely. I've noticed that the fortress lacks any decorations. so I told our manager to make some stone statues. *There is a splatter of blood here*

It has been ages it seems since I have written in this dusty tome. Three years is has been, three years she has been lost to me. And nothing can bring her back, not even Lustrum; or my newfound powers. It was the WRF that brought us close as we worked together, and it was the lustrum that brought us here... All of us.
From the time I kept myself busy to distract my thoughts, failed as everything either jogged my memories or reminded me of someone. I have made a list of all of us, the living and dead.
Spoiler: List (click to show/hide)

As stated above what the hell. This place is a mess. I designated some sections of wall to block off some routes in the caverns. I also let in some dwarves at the edge of the map. The military was lacking so I beefed it up.

I brought gold ore and tetrahedrite with me from embark and found a bunch of white gems. I created a bunch of focus stones and an orb of regeneration with both the tet and the old, it is a year later and I have gotten no ore.

"I am a mason by trade."
"No."

"No."

"No."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Certainly."
Not the brightest bunch. No problem getting in. When the time is right, there will be no problem getting out. This will be easy as long as I can keep my head low.

I inherited a fort on the brink of tantrum spiral. Tight quarters, limited supplies and deadly enemies had taken their toll. Close to twenty percent of the fort was significantly unhappy and a few dwarves threw tantrums. However I had largely Isolated those few in the main (if you can call it that) area in the fort while I sent everyone else out to work on our defenses. After some broken furniture and a steady supply of booze they settled down and got back to work.
The humans came; which is something I didn't expect. I sabotaged the trade depot and it collapsed just as they finished unloading their goods. They left unhappy. I look forward to their return next year. At some point they will send what we desperately need: iron. We will just have to liberate it from their corpses. I know this lot and they will reward our battle prowess with ever more iron. By the time they send their law-giver we will have bled their forges dry, melted down their kit and forged steel from their slag.
Migrants came. I have never been so happy to see a bunch of half dead mongrels. We have lots to haul and more to build before the beasts that inhabit the caverns of our world catch wind of us.
Finally, dwarven merchants came. They did not have much that we need; which is good because we don't have much to offer. I have been on the lookout for white, black and clear gemstones for Professor Lloyd. He says we need them to make some kind of stones that we will use to make some other kind of stone so that we can produce our own magnetite ore. I think he is a fool and I will prove him so, when we finally get a fourth white gem.
But enough enough about yesterday...
Looking around I spot Roboboy.
"Fetch Thikut, Zefon and Asmel and have them meet me in my quarters."

Right now, they (as well as most of the rest of the fort) are indefensible from flying opponents.
It's more of a buffet for Forgotten Beasts than an actual fortress.
So I have a large working party of masons enclosing the central cavern while the miners are creating an entrance that will be FUN for our enemies.
In any case we are a long way from having any kind of metal industry. Until we can get enough white/black/clear gems to create enough focus stones to get more than zero orbs of regeneration, we have no source of ore anyway. Right now I have the mineshaft running full time and have produced three white gems in the last three months. And if the orbs of regeneration are as effective in this fort as they were in my trial fort, we will be getting about two ore per season from a priest caste dorf using five orbs at a time.
So, our dorfs will be obsidian sword wielding, leather clad balls of death for the foreseeable future.

We should be over ten by now between scavenging (1) seizing (2) trading (?) and forging (3?) but few, if any, are steel.
I'm saving the iron and steel we currently have to make either spears or bolts. Probably spears.
But I think we can get everyone in the fort outfitted with a leather robe, leather hood, wooden shield and an obsidian sword. Should make tantrum spirals more FUN =)
Post by: Varnifane on October 06, 2011, 09:53:15 am
I'd be done by now but I the save file got corrupted and I had to replay three seasons (I now have seasonal saves turned on). The only thing that changed was that it took me longer to get the obsidian farm going because I forgot to queue floodgates. Oh, and the human traders had fewer axes to seize.
I'll post an update this afternoon and should be done tomorrow night.

We were recently beset upon by two-score zombies. The crossbow dwarves got one of them and the rest fell afoul of the trapped entrance. I like cage traps for their simple efficiency, but the stonecrafter needs to step up production of obsidian short swords for weapon traps to replace the cage traps. I would set up a combination of weapon traps and a deep pit, but I wonder if the undead try to dodge attacks at all.
Once the zombies were in cages we had another issue to deal with. Before I could tell them otherwise our animal haulers started stockpiling the zombie-cages in the center of the fort, creating another issue. So I had an spot opened in the magma-tube covering and we dumped them inside. I have designated a cage stockpile topside to deal with this issue in the future. The downside is that we lost 19 cages.
Speaking of topside, I am building a keep on the ruins of the old fort. We have been walled in for months, but now we are almost completely covered and have two crossbow stations nearing completion. Something that would not have been possible had we not welcomed 24 migrants two months ago.
The elves have come and suffered the same mysterious trade depot calamity as the humans. I really must speak with our architects...
After months of believing we did not have white gemstones to make focus stones our miners discovered numerous gem deposits that meet our requirements. I wonder why dwarves never look up. I also discovered that the reason we had no white gems in the stockpile is that someone had been secretly creating focus stones and hiding them under their bed. *cough* Professor Lloyd *cough*
We also discovered that there was something wrong with the original Temple. Lloyd was tearing at his hair and rambling on about spiritual geometry and temporal paradigms. I left him in his room and ordered three more temples built. We have succeeded in creating two magnetite orbs of regeneration in seven attempts and have sunk numerous focus stones into regenerating magnetite. We have had some success, but I wonder if it is worth sinking hundreds of urists of gems and countless dwarf-jobs to get 30 dwarf bucks worth of magnetite.
We have completed walling in the center of the upper cavern complex from floor to ceiling. We have even blocked off access from the water. Now that we are set defensively I have started outfitting and training (danger room) a few squads of military dwarves. We have three axe dwarves, one hammer dwarf, three sword dwarves and five crossbow dwarves. The are skilled in dodging, fighting and shield use, which I hope will mitigate their lack of proper armor.
The hunters and tree gatherers are getting restless, so I have ordered a tunnel built to give access to the caverns. It runs through the barracks which should keep it somewhat secure.
I have also ordered the miners to explore the edges of adamantine...

My SOP for candy mining involves nibbling down to a rectangle via a separate access that ends in an upwards stairwell with a hatch at the top. Then I send in a migrant with no friends to polish and then carve fortifications into the side of the candy. If there are baddies behind it, the sacrificial dwarf usually dies from breath weapons, poisonous vapors and what not. If something slips through we have the hatch that can only be opened by a sentient beard. If the baddies aren't behind it I send in the miners.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Once the initial FPS drop, it comes back. Mostly.

Here is the save file: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=5030
You are in a good place defensively, you have plenty of food and booze, and you have 90+ dorfs.
There are four temples two creating focus stones full time and two trying to regenerate ore with 8 regeneration stones(netting about 2 ore a season).
Things that don't seem to work:
- Task management on the Temples
- Desks
- Capability to designate obsidian to be used for furniture and whatnot.
I've pissed off the humans 2 years in a row.
The trade depot is currently deconstructed
I dug out a trade depot flooding area; which I have yet to test. Hopefully they will siege next year so you can get some metal...
I'll post some screenshots tomorrow with lever locations and whatnot

Top of the Keep. The Tower goes up another level or so and is by no means completed. I am leaving the center of the tower empty to boost our undead leather industry or ease a later refit for a magma pump stack.
(http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/1633/levelg1.jpg)
Middle level of the Keep
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/9204/levelg.jpg)
Ground level. The bridge is linked to a lever in the dining hall and the lever is linked to nothing. It was placed in preparation of an atom smasher I decided not to build once I realized zombie bits = leather.
(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/3880/level1m.jpg)
This bridge isn't linked (I think). I built the lever but never linked it (I think). If it's not linked, it's probably a good thing to do soon.
(http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/6818/level2t.jpg)
This is the first of two full corridors of cage traps.
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/2330/level4b.jpg)
WHen the courtyard is completed I was planning to have the archer towers to not use the main access(in green). So I made separate staircases for them (in red).
(http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/2108/level5b.jpg)
I included this picture so you could see the caver isolation wall, the ramps up to the courtyard and the ramps down to the fort. Also I thought it looked a little like a pistol. So hey.
(http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/1262/level6.jpg)
Second corridor full of cage traps. Also you can see the tops of a couple of our defensive walls.
(http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/3579/level7.jpg)
Four of our five walls and our three new temples.
(http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/4646/level7breach.jpg)
Our miners are...um...enthusiastic. You need to wall this breach to ensure safety for the main fort.
(http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/122/level8w.jpg)
All five of our defensive walls. Also a gem and a furniture stockpile.
(http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/6628/level9.jpg)
Lots of stuff going on on this level. We have three separate access points to the fortress and they are all on this level. At the top is a hatch (keep it locked unless you are hunting, etc). At the bottom you see the entrance to the switchbacks of doom. In the middle to the right is a hatch that offers access to water.
In yellow are levers for the bridges topside. The one that is active is for the bridge on the ground level of the keep. The one that is inactive is for the bridge in the first layer of the switchback and is probably not linked.
In peach are the components of the food industry.
In purple is the workout room.
In green is a bunch of random stockpiles.
In light blue are levers that operate the floodgates for the drowning depot on he level below.
There is also a hatch to dump things in the magma.
(http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/9075/level10r.jpg)
This level has the obsidian farm. The levers are laid out spatially. The center and left floodgate levers aren't linked. I was reserving the one on the left for magma safe floodgates and the one in the center to operate all of the floodgates at once.
(http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/6991/level11.jpg)
I built a bunch of mason and craftsdwarf workshops to mass produce stuff for trade and to clear the room.
Here also is the danger room. The lever operates the spike traps.
(http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/9202/level23.jpg)
Another instance of over-zealous miners. They will notify you they find copper ore every time they turn a corner and see the same copper ore wall from a different angle, but mums the word when they drill straight into the side of a vein of cotton candy.
It ended well. So I suppose no screaming hordes of pustulent death, no foul.
Let me know if you would like more clarification.

1. Let stoopid hoomans get caught in cage traps.
2. Strip stoopid hoomans of equipment.
3. Melt down stoopid hooman equipment for iron.
4. Forge iron into proper dwarf-made equipment.
5. Build cages with humans in an enclosed space
6. Link cages to levers (5 cages per lever)
7. Station military dorfs in the room with the cages.
8. Lock doors.
9. Pull lever.
10. Dump corpses and corpse pieces on a corpse stockpile.
11. Butcher upper body parts that are above the threshold
12. Tan the skins
13. Fashion the bones into bolts.
14. Fashion the tanned skins into backpacks, robes, whatever.
Alternately, if you don't need/want the military training (or the hassle of linking,building, stripping), replace steps 2-9 with:
2. Drop the stoopid hoomans from a high place.
3. Collect their equipment and bits.
...melt, forge, butcher, carve, tan, sew as appropriate.

so humans get lured into said room, open hatch. Sit back and watch hungry clowns tear them apart.
To put the clowns back to a safe loction, drop a kitten down a trapdoor hatch channel with water at the bottom so it survives. then open the bridge door, and activated a pump to wash the kitten down.
also I have no Idea if Clowns eat invaders. But I do know they eat wildlife

Late Opal, year 13, to 20th Felsite, year 14
After a long and grueling journey through the wastes of the tundra, I’ve finally arrived at the fortress Salvefences.
(http://img.ie/26023.png)
It is a shining jewel of- wait, no. A depressing, grime-filled, zombie-strewn...
(http://img.ie/ca399.png)
Corpse-making machine.
My group of migrants had only just arrived when we were assaulted by the Horde. Luckily, one of the rangers we had along wielded his crossbow excellently, ready for such an ambush.
(http://img.ie/50498.png)
Apparently, the inhabitants had adopted a Darwinian point of view on migration- if you can survive the Horde, you can live there.
(http://img.ie/786b4.png)
Since the last leader stepped down from his overseering position, and they now need a leader, I have volunteered to take the position. The vote was unanimous- apparently, nobody else was wanting such a powerful position. Odd.
My first order was to start hollowing out a stockpiling area- too much crap is strewn around.
(http://img.ie/images/5820b_thumb.png) (http://img.ie/5820b.png.html)
Since there’s too much stone around for any useful stockpiling, I’ve decided to build a series of undumps, a masterwork piece of dwarven engineering I learned in the Guild back at Homerock. They will sort our stone in a much more compact way. In answer, these morons just trapped their fellow dwarf across a trench! PICK UP A ROCK ON THIS SIDE OF THE PIT, NOT HIS. ARG! MORONS! I'LL...no..I mustn’t.. get...angry...not this time- things will be different.
(http://img.ie/36253.png)
In any case, at least someone had his head on straight before myself, look at all these mechanisms!
(http://img.ie/5aa10.png)
However, judging by the massive amounts of masonry and stonecrafting going on, they may have just been trying to free up space as well. In any case, I will also begin stockpiling efforts at atom smashers to save time. Maybe now we’ll finally get some infrastructure going.
Horrors abound! In the caverns, some hidden ambushes have *somehow* been discovered.
(http://img.ie/images/3845a_thumb.png) (http://img.ie/3845a.png.html)
And then there’s a forgotten beast...
(http://img.ie/cb282.png)
another one somewhere, and a titan!
(http://img.ie/70465.png)
The Beasts will be ignored in the caverns, due to their poisons, but the titan is at our doorstep.
One of our valiant axedwarves has taken it on single-handedly, and has been promoted for his deeds.
(http://img.ie/3b7c1.png)
In other news, James Bond has decided to make something nice for the fortress.
(http://img.ie/0c777.png)
I don’t get why everyone is designated by numbers. I’m pretty sure they’re for categorizing, but I don’t see much reason other than for squads- it’s not as if lists appear in alphanumerical order. I will be giving them proper names along the way.
The surface fortifications are being completed, so as to keep us safe from fliers.
It looks like some of the stone in the mechanism-making area has been cleared. It will be a temporary animal stockpile for used cage traps.
Speaking of cages, Mr. Bond has made a nice, shiny one.
(http://img.ie/861b0.png)
I still don’t appreciate all of these zombies killing off travellers, so the military has been dispatched to slice ‘em up. There are a few injuries, but these strong soldiers will heal up fine.
Urgh. I'm no squeamish dwarf, but it’s hard to take this much filth. So much... gristle... coating the world...
The stench of the dead filling the caverns...
Blood, caked on the entrance halls like a thick glaze...
Blood..yes...BLOOD...GLORIOUS SLAUGHTER! THE ICHOR OF LIFE!
*scrawls fill the journal’s next pages*
I...COME...
HAIL THE GOD OF BLOOD!

Post by: Komra on October 15, 2011, 09:10:11 pm
I am very fortunate to have been alone this time. No one must know what I am.
Some people tell stories of gods creating avatars, bodily versions of themselves. You could say that I am such a dwarf but Armok... Well, he is erratic. He creates worlds, a wondrous and awesome creation- but they are steeped in warfare. For this reason, carnage tends to awaken his influence in me. I have been cast out for my apparent mental disorder, but I have finally found a home, accepted by those who know not of my fate.
I only hope that I may continue to hide my condition.
These corpses REALLY SMELL BAD
(http://img.ie/b2135.png)
You would think that with all the rotting these things do, they'd eventually just disintegrate.
The undump machines have failed miserably due to some oddity with this fortress' dwarves. apparently, they have discovered jumping. Such is the bane of engineers. Stone clearing will now be done by more traditional atom smashing.
I have designated the obsidian farm as a more literal farm.
(http://img.ie/images/31820_thumb.png) (http://img.ie/31820.png.html)
It's not as if we NEED more rocks, and we are in state of serious food deficit. We got down to the point of having about 10 barrels of wine on hand.
At least the volcanic soil will grow crops quite well.
The new stockpile has been cleared, the areas designated.
(http://img.ie/images/5a65a_thumb.png) (http://img.ie/5a65a.png.html)
Left to right- adamanitine, bar/block, furniture.
Once again, dwarves are becoming consumed by their greed. HUZZAH!
(http://img.ie/cbca7.png)
(http://img.ie/063b0.png)
At least the latter is making some contribution to the fortress as a result.
(http://img.ie/59350.png)
It's got some engravings on it, too. Meh. At least he's a bit better at his craft now.
...and then, BOO!
(http://img.ie/29253.png)
And that's how one poor dwarf got scared to death. Pansy.
So as to stop this from reoccurring to someone important, I order some more coffins to be placed in a near-empty tomb.
(http://img.ie/8ab97.png)
As if sensing the death, a particularly odorous creature appeared outside the cavern palisades.
(http://img.ie/b8535.png)
It will be watched, but is of little concern. Whoever had these walls built did well.
Oh, good. Something to test the newly-improved defenses on.
(http://img.ie/46279.png)
(http://img.ie/8a980.png)
Not much of a force, but I expect others to be sighted.
I'll have to command from my inner chambers. I can't risk being thrown out again, and these zeds are already covered in gore, which doesn't help with my *condition* at all.
TO BE CONTINUED.

How much ore has been produced?
Also, obsidian is three times as valuable as the crap stone we otherwise available. With two (at least) legendary masons we can surround our dwarves with high value furniture to help prevent tantrum spirals. As well as lessening the effects of the tantrum spirals that do start.
How in the world did we get down to 10 booze? I left the fort with plenty of the stuff and the food and drink industry balanced for a fort of 150 dwarves.

Mausoleum- Just think of it like those Egyptian burials where all of the deceased's servants and slaves are buried with him to work eternally.
Stone- We have FAR TOO MUCH STONE. And we do need the farming done- so, until I find a better farming spot, the obsidian farm will be offline. I do see your point, though. I just hate all the stray stone around here. OCD-like tendencies.
Booze- No idea.
Temples- Haven't been paying attention to the them, really- most are too cluttered to do anything, I'll be allocating space for focus/orb use use in the stockpiles. I'l work on it.

The temples are our only source of ore, which means we can't forge proper arms and armor unless we keep them constantly in use. Here is the description of the mod: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=92138.msg2574307#msg2574307
There is a section in the first post that explains the use of the new features.
You can focus on securing the safety and future of the fort, or if you would rather have us over run by zombies, by all means keep focusing on moving rocks around.

Note that the dwarves are assigned to an 'inside' burrow that stop them from going outside when triggered in the alerts screen. Expand the 'inside' burrow when any new rooms are dug out, and add any migrants to the lists.

Gosh darn it, read the prior page.
Besides, It'll probably be a few days until he'd even start writing.
EDIT: okay,okay, here's your frakking journal.
The traps have been readied, the defenses completed. Now, with the Great Citadel almost finished, we cannot be invaded from above. Some final touches remain, but these hazards have been walled off for the time being.
I've just been told that the humans, who had been trading, have just left. Though the guards accompany them, it's never safe to walk right into the hands of the zombies.
(http://img.ie/72237.png)
One zombie's hands, however, are already full.
(http://img.ie/85246.png)
Cheese? Why? Maybe it's squishy enough to be seen as a brain.
The military is sent to remove any zombies loitering about the cage traps, and repeatedly discover goblins trying to use the siege as cover for their own crimes.
(http://img.ie/5b10a.png)
Meanwhile, inside the caves, an unpleasant creature has decided to migrate.
(http://img.ie/7c988.png)
Another one of similar kind, however, has made its way into the fortress. I have no idea how, perhaps through an open floodgate, but the military takes care of it as well- slowly and extremely painfully. Assuming, of course, this dread creature feels pain.
(http://img.ie/9027a.png)
After a great amount of time standing around the cage traps, the military has defeated the zombie horde. Hurrah. The goblins decide to capitalize on this opportunity and send a force of former horsemen.

Perhaps we can use these weapons. Urk Dasha arrive later. These enemies, too, will be captured and later indoctrinated into our forces, once that animal trainer gets schooled in hypnosis as ordered. We figured he's be the best dwarf for the job.
Time passes by. Jobs are issued, children are born, our civilization enjoys a brief, month-long respite.
It is not to last.
Well, the trainer has failed in his attempts. Ah, well. We'll just have to do this the old-fashioned way. RELEASE THE

The population is...not pleased with this course of action. They were told that we were going to dump the prisoners into the lava pipe, but instead the morons tried to take them out before the lava was reached, and escapes occurred.
There were no casualties, it seems, and all of the prisoners have been killed other than the goblins, who were left caged to be stripped of possessions beforehand. They will need dealt with- by the next administrator. I have been asked- at axeblade- to vacate my position after this miscommunication. They have glimpsed, at times, my outbursts of possession, and believe I have ordered these prisoners set free in order to sate the thirst of the Blood God. I always knew that I would never keep it hidden for long, but I had assumed I would be deposed because of some outburst of violent insanity. How disappointing- how dwarvenly it would be to go out in a wave of bloody glory. Ah, well. I still live, at least- capital punishment is not the dwarven way. Unless, of course, you violate orders. Then you'll get a hammering.
I have been disgraced, but I will still walk these halls. That, at least, is better than my previous fate at other fortresses. I will make a living here as an operator of siege equipment, should the need arise. Farewell, good reader.

Gosh darn it, read the prior page.
Besides, It'll probably be a few days until he'd even start writing.
I just wasn't sure if you wanted the story to match up(meaning your final entry, then kopout's turn), but you're right. I'll just notify kopout but ask him to wait to post an entry until you put up yours. :D

On stairs- if you checked, the stairs' access doorways are blocked, awiating a safe time to fix that issue.
Post by: Varnifane on October 22, 2011, 11:30:54 pm
The stairs are walled off from the courtyard but the stairs are designed with entry tunnels four levels below the courtyard; which are not isolated.
The mineshaft access points I saw might be a wonky graphics pack thing.

On stairs- Oh, yeah, those. Well, those can be walled off too, or given a bridge airlock at least so that we can use it for construction access in the future. Not that we won't be changing worlds after your turn, so you really can release the HFS with no repercussions.

Compared to the Ardentdikes succession game thread which accumulated 69 pages of posts starting from about 16 months ago, this thread only started 3 months ago yet the number of posts it has already exceeds 75% of the # of posts in Ardentdikes.
Compared to the Deathgate succession thread (which already moves at a faster pace than most other successions I've seen), this thread started when the Deathgate succession thread already had 24 solid pages of posts, but now the gap in # of pages of posts is only half of what it started out as (65 pages there compared to 53 pages here)

Also, I would find it helpful if at the end of the turn people included screenshots and explanations of changes to the fortress.
The explanations would include but not be limited to:
- Is the plan complete?
- What are the next steps? (If the next overseer would like to complete it)
- What is the change supposed to accomplish?
- How it is supposed to work (for levers, bridges, pressure plates, etc).
- What needs do you still see as unmet?
Would any of the rest of you find that helpful?
I understand that losing is fun. But with us stumbling over each other (blindly undoing what the previous overseer did, etc.) I don't see how we can ever get to a place where we can lose in an epic manner.

The Writings of David, 24th of Opal, Deepest Freeze of this forsaken place.
The carnage is too much, only 13 of us is alive everyone is either dead or missing somewhere. Dr. Pots got a hold of that book Professor Lloyd carried with him like a bible, and from the notes within it Dr. Pots has had a crude archway built calling it a “Portal”. However the Professor got us here it sure wasn’t through a “Portal” it was through Lustrum and Hugo’s Water Reactor Facility, which I doubt it was even Hugo’s idea because he was only a captain of the guard for the longest time until the Oozing Death took him and so many others.
Dr. Pots was trying all sorts of things to get the portal to work, but he has no idea about Lustrum. If only Professor Lloyd was still here, then he could get us out. But last I saw was Lloyd trying to save a injured dwarf out on the ice, before the swarm of undead washed over them. After that everything went to hell, undead got inside and went to town on their nearest tasty morsel... I hate to refer to my brethren as morsels but that’s how it turned out.
This will be the last I write, as this “Portal” will never work. And the undead will be here soon.
Sincerely
David
EDIT: I would write the rest tonight but I'm tired and I got Pshcology 2morrow, I get free marks just for showing up and raising my hand, using my extensive knowlegde in random facts to my advantage.

Here is a quick little update, my writing was interrupted by my new exersise do hicky, but this will be something to keep you entertained. A letter left by David, now I'm just working on the events that will take part in our great exodus.What would I do without you, hugo?
The Writings of David, 24th of Opal, Deepest Freeze of this forsaken place.
The carnage is too much, only 13 of us is alive everyone is either dead or missing somewhere. Dr. Pots got a hold of that book Professor Lloyd carried with him like a bible, and from the notes within it Dr. Pots has had a crude archway built calling it a “Portal”. However the Professor got us here it sure wasn’t through a “Portal” it was through Lustrum and Hugo’s Water Reactor Facility, which I doubt it was even Hugo’s idea because he was only a captain of the guard for the longest time until the Oozing Death took him and so many others.
Dr. Pots was trying all sorts of things to get the portal to work, but he has no idea about Lustrum. If only Professor Lloyd was still here, then he could get us out. But last I saw was Lloyd trying to save a injured dwarf out on the ice, before the swarm of undead washed over them. After that everything went to hell, undead got inside and went to town on their nearest tasty morsel... I hate to refer to my brethren as morsels but that’s how it turned out.
This will be the last I write, as this “Portal” will never work. And the undead will be here soon.
Sincerely
David
EDIT: I would write the rest tonight but I'm tired and I got Pshcology 2morrow, I get free marks just for showing up and raising my hand, using my extensive knowlegde in random facts to my advantage. Never fear, My mind has the whole play swirling around in the vast chasm that it is. I shall Finish it up 2morrow and get Deadiron up and running, Might take a small turn while im at it :P

Events of Opal 25th...
Everyone was scambling about, looking for food or drink to soothe the horrible mess that befell the fort. I went to see the crude portal that Dr. Pots had ordered erected, standing in a semi-circle within it’s arch was Dr. Pots, Thor the last blacksmith, Atis Ballstaves a fellow engraver, and Korronus Tycan mechanic. They were arguing about the portal and the Professor’s book, I walked over “Why bother with this thing? Why bother with arguing, you four are only wasting our precious energy that we could be used to reinforce our position and keep ourselves alive.” I said before coming to a stop at the group. “Why David, our only hope is to get it to work. There is no way we can survive, the undead never tire. By the time we set up one wall, they will have tore down three.” Dr. Pots retorted and then they all started squabbling again. Filling with rage I slammed my fist into the portal frame “ENOUGH!” everyone stopped and stared, first I thought it was my outburst of anger. But then I felt, saw what they did. The Lustrum must still be on me, in me. As green electricity arched from my hand up the frame, forcing all of us to jump away from the portal as now the sparks now turned into green lighting that ricocheted around the frame until a hole opened to a bright wasteland. “By Astis David you did it! YOU DID IT!” everyone hugged and danced at this show of salvation, even with the land so barren and uninviting it was still better then being zombie food.
“READY THE WAGON!”
“Dr. Pots we don’t have a wagon...”
“Nonsense I had built one in me bedroom a year ago.”
“Why did you build a.... Never mind.”
The wagon was drawn to the portal and loaded with everything we needed, and Korronus Tycan had hooked up every donkey and reindeer even a few bears to pull the wagon “Korronus why do we need no many animals to pull the wagon?” “Why me boy David asks. Well the more horse pow’r the bett’r.” Korronus replied with a toothy grin. Just as the packing was halfway done the makeshift barricade at the door exploded, and walked in a dwarf in a strange metal suit holding... By Astis the Professor’s head. The metal dwarf raised its free right hand and pointed at the wagon, a hoard of undead poured from the settling dust towards the wagon. “YAH! DAMN YOU!” Korronus cracked the reins and the wagon shot forth towards the portal, Thor was cursing as he got caught in a strap and dragged behind the wagon. Then from darkness to light we were in the wastelands, looking back the portal closed leaving that frozen hell behind. But what hell are we in now? Doesn’t matter at least it’s warm here.
Back in the frozen cavern fortress
The metal clad dwarf stood in the ruined barricade as the undead feasted on whatever flesh they could find, reaching up to stroke its braided moustache and beard making the iron rings in them click together. What flashed through its mind was a gentle summers breeze brush its face and russling its hair, the iron rings holding its braids together clinking softly, and the sound of grass blowing in the wind. Then it was screams of the dying and its own death, and rebirth, and second death by the hands of a dwarf possessed by a human through a demons will. Now it followed no god, not even knowing it’s name or what it was before only that it now lives in a wasted dwarven body. And now its powers of life and death have been increased after absorbing the soul of this talented dwarf. Oddly enough it had carried something of its, it could sense the bond it shares with the object in the dwarf’s soul. But the fight with the dwarf was interesting...
On the frozen surface earlier
“Hold on zer, I’m coming for you. Ze Professor vill save you.” reaching the injured dwarf only to find she was already dead “Damn not another von.” looking up to see a swarm of undead flock to me like flies to a bloated corpse, and the fortress doors closing. I saw David before the doors fully shut. The first zombie to reach me might have showed surprise if they had enough brains to think as my palm blasted a burst of blue and green energy taking it’s head off, leaving only a smoldering stub as it slumped to the ground. I fired these energy bursts at the closest zombies creating a dance of blue and green, making the air look like it was full of green and blue fireflies as the energy dissolved like salt in water. The undead seemed endless, but so was the energy of the Lustrum. After awhile the hoard stopped and stood around me out of shooting distance, why would they do this? They are mindless. Then they parted to allow a dwarf clad in black metal, holding a black short sword in its right hand and a black axe in its left. It didn’t walk like a zombie, but it still walked oddly. As it got closer I was tempted to blast it right there, but then I saw its face. A black half-mask that was completely plain and eyeless, and mechanical objects in place of neck muscles before the rest was covered by its black plate armor. I let a blast of energy in its direction and it casually batted it with its sword unfazed as it continued my way, I shot off some more and it batted those away effortlessly as well. “Vhat the hell are you?” wordlessly it walked, its braided facial hair blowing in the arctic wind. It looked dead, but not undead. “Die you swinehund!” this time I went all out letting loose a whole array of blasts, casing it to break its casual pace to begin dancing and blocking each blast. Despite the cold I started to sweat, it was too close, it leapt through the air towards me arms across its chest for a killing blow. “You die now Abomination!” putting my hands together and channelling all that I could I could feel the air become charged and small ice chunks began to rise as a blinding pillar of energy engulfed the dwarf. When all the energy dissipated the dwarf was laying a short distance away steaming in the snow, “Ha zat vill teach you not to mess vith ze Professor.”. Then my blood turned to ice as it started getting up. “Vhy vont you die!” I tried to blast it again but it seems I’ve exhausted the Lustrum’s power, but I could feel it recharging. But the dwarf wasted no time and before I knew it I was face to face with it, and everything was numb. Looking down I could see the cruel black blade sticking through my chest, without actually seeing it I knew my lungs, upper spine, liver, stomach, and several of my ribs were mangled. Looking back at the dwarf’s face I saw it wasn’t skin that made up it’s mouth, it was polished marble. And its mouth was carved in a sinister grin of amusement and pleasure, combined with the eyeless black mask it was surreal. Its facial hair was made from copper strands, then blackness took me. And the world existed no more...

“Bloody Hell Korronus! Slow this thing DOWN!” still grinning Korronus reached down and pulled something, when he did that most of the animals where set free except for two. Reaching down again he pulled back on what looked to be a lever, “Ight’ me boy David, I’d hold on to yer beard and nick nacks. This is gonn’ be some fancy drivin” before I could even grab anything the wagon began drifting from side to side, driven by this insane dwarf. Then again we all are insane, and I’m pretty sure all this is just my insanity. Just some mad dream, ha like there could be travel between worlds, two to be exact... I don’t even know what home is anymore, better yet I’m afraid that if I die in this dream I may never wake up. And my thoughts were interrupted as the wagon came to a sudden stop and I became air borne.
Opening my eyes to blinding light I raised my hand to block it out, only to have it grabbed and then being pulled to my feet “Aye me boy, that’s how we drive back home!” drive back home? “Argh... Were are we? And where’s Thor? I never saw him on the wagon.” dusting myself off it didn’t take Thor long to find us “WHY YOU BASTARDS! I WAS DRAGGED THE WHOLE TIME AND NOBODY BOTHERED TO HELP ME!?” he was a bellowing dust covered beard and bundle of muscle from his days swinging a blacksmith’s hammer. “Well we were in a hur-“
“HEY EVERYONE LOOK HERE!”
We all turned to the direction of the voice and headed over, Atis had found a hole. But it wasn’t natural this one was dug out, and it was too crude to be dwarven must be human made. And it looks like everything is on lockdown...

Frozen Cavern Fortress
Looking down at this body, inorganic and alien metal. Dark grey and black, stronger then dwarven steel. Fuelled by my soul and moved by mechanics, pistons, gears, like a deadly piece of clockwork. My memories are few, but this short time in this world I’ve learned so much. I cannot remember my name, like a thought on the tip of my tongue. But what is known is that this.. Dwarf? Used to hold something of mine, and now it is with someone else. Following the bond with the object towards the crude archway the dwarves disappeared through, each step thudding loudly in the wide chamber. Pushing undead and dead out of my path the archway was close, there was some howling from the south-east as the undead found the burial chamber. Stopping under the arch, the head began to twitch. Holding it up like a lantern it exploded in a flash of green light, sending bolts bouncing around the arch opening a rift in the air to a desolate wasteland. There was wagon tracks leading away, and that’s were the objects bond pointed to. And that is where I’m going...
Somewhere in the Barren Wasteland
About a days travel away from the thirteen’s position a hollow rectangle of light appeared in the air half a foot above the ground, a door materialised and opened. A human stepped out wearing clothes that was dwarf sized, he could have passed as a dwarf if not for his size. “Are you sure this is were he is my Lord?”
“YES, HE SEEKS SOMETHING THAT HE LOST. THERE ARE DWARVES IN THIS WORLD, THE ONLY DWARVES TO BE EXACT.”
“Do I really need to be a human?”
“YOU MUST LOOK LIKE A HUMAN, SO YOU CAN MERGE WITH THE HUMANS THAT WILL CO-EXIST WITH THE DWARVES. YOU KNOW ONE OF THE DWARVES, HE WAS FROM YOUR WORLD.”
“Who was from my world?”
“DAVID”

But in all fairness Since Kisame never got to have a chance to do his turn I could turn over the world and thus he picks were we go.
I should have the world up 2morrow, and then a sidestory once I get home.

Never Fear I feel we will be around for a long time yet, so hop aboard whenever you got the time. Also reading page 1 to now requires no dedication just the will to do it :P
And Kisame I will be editting this post to place the save's DL, I don't think any new features are in, but they lurk in the raws. And like I said they are not that important, but I doubt The use of the doctor's desk will be useless (I can fix that if noone can get it to work) hopefully I didn't accidently create any bugs :O
EDIT: Here is the save (http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=5140)
EDIT2: Also I will be updating the sidestory after Kisames first update, I'd like to think that our dwarves are still in the same world reguardless of a failed save.

I have been having nightmares of that day in that frozen hell, when the doors shut locking Professor Lloyd outside with the undead. But instead of rushing down to the safety of the fortress, I’m pushed out to the cold with the Professor. Rotten and blood thirsty corpses swarmed the Professor from all sides, only to be blown away by ethereal light leaving smoldering bodies. Then they stopped and a man made of dark metal... No a dwarf, with what looked to be a half mask covering its eyes leaving a mouth stuck in a creepy fixed smile.
It and the Professor fought but even when it seemed like the Professor won, the metal dwarf simply killed him. Then it turned its head to me, in which I was now back in the fortress before the portal of when it pointed at the wagon and stared at me with its glossy masked eyes. Who is this dwarf?
OOC:
Might as well update the thoughts of David, as now hes being dragged through the seven hells and having all those close to him killed. And ideas for the Metal Dwarf and the Newcomer for me to draw are wizzing through my head. But since I can't grasp one, I can't draw

You can download the world and run through the embarking process. Also goto the link in my sig for REGEN that will help explain all the new features, good luck.
EDIT: and the New Comer is another player in my Side Story that involves the Black Metal Dwarf (which is my avatar)
Alas I have no Idea on how I'd draw you :P

Dear Journal
I have been having nightmares of that day in that frozen hell, when the doors shut locking Professor Lloyd outside with the undead. But instead of rushing down to the safety of the fortress, I’m pushed out to the cold with the Professor. Rotten and blood thirsty corpses swarmed the Professor from all sides, only to be blown away by ethereal light leaving smoldering bodies. Then they stopped and a man made of dark metal... No a dwarf, with what looked to be a half mask covering its eyes leaving a mouth stuck in a creepy fixed smile.
It and the Professor fought but even when it seemed like the Professor won, the metal dwarf simply killed him. Then it turned its head to me, in which I was now back in the fortress before the portal of when it pointed at the wagon and stared at me with its glossy masked eyes. Who is this dwarf?
OOC:
Might as well update the thoughts of David, as now hes being dragged through the seven hells and having all those close to him killed. And ideas for the Metal Dwarf and the Newcomer for me to draw are wizzing through my head. But since I can't grasp one, I can't draw
MUUUY MYSTERIOSO!!! :D I lieks it!!!
Oh, and, I'd like to request an ingame character please:
Name: Jason Wincloft
Type: Warrior
Gender: Male
Profession(s): Just militaristic
Bio:_____ (optional)

Agree'd, But a suggestion towards growth of writing, envision yourself as the character. And discribe what you see and feel, you had something there with the emotion.ahahaha!!! :PI have to agree...
tastes a liddle bland tho...
This might have been more colorful:
Sand, all I can see is sand for miles. I've been walking for days and all I see is, more sand.
In frustration I lash out by kicking some smallish stones, something caught my eye as one of them twinkled in the sunlight.
Stooping low to pick it up "Oy, and what may you be?" Whatever it is sure is better then blasted sand.
Pocketing it as a souvenir and started walking to... Ah hell I'm just making my home at the first place I find.
Not the best on my part but it's only a rewrite of your log, and a writing example. We all start somewhere right?

Hey just remember the suggestion of being the character, how would you feel in the situation. And I have no idea if you will be chopping wood.
Sorry the update is not as soon as Iliked, due to my internet crapping out for a bit. I should get it later tonight.
I'm fine with that, I might have to hold out on the side story for 2morrow since it's a friends bday party tonight. But after that I should be able to make the sidestory stand on its own.

The sand swirled around the wheels. That dammed sand. It was dry, raspy and it got everywhere. I know I wished for warmth as we left but dammit, why did it have to be a desert. It had been two days. For two days we hid beneath that wagon, eating and drinking sand. At least, that’s what it felt like. Again that dammed sand, getting everywhere, and spoiling food and drink. We were hiding from the shambling Things everywhere. Atis and another fellow got to the tunnel, but we heard their screams not long after. It was a horrible, agonizing thing, hearing them scream for help, and us stuck fast with fear. I will carry that sound to my grave. We did not sleep that night, or any night after that.
The sound of a portal opening startled us from our stupor.
“A portal? Who could be opening a portal?” Said Dr. Pots
“Who cares! I our ticket out of this hellish place!” I said, “Let’s get out of here!”
Dr. Pots took charge, yelling orders to stabilize it.
“We cannae hold it sir! We dinna hae tha power!” Screamed Korronus.
“Grab the wagon and the supplies! We’re going for one hell of a ride!”
The ride out was rougher than the ride in, tossing us around in the wagon. We lost 4 dwarves in the transition, tossed out into the misty oblivion. I can only hope that they landed next to a fortress, and are not lost forever in that world between worlds. The ride evened out eventually, though too late to save some of our animals and supplies. The trip was long, so we passed the time talking.
“Hey Korronus why were you talking with a Scottish accent back there?” I asked.
“I ...... don’t know.” Korronus said, “It just seemed appropriate.”
“Well it was funny anyway.” I laughed.
Staring out into the mist, I often saw shadows, formless and dark. They flowed around as we made our way along. Then It appeared. At first it was just another shadow among the rest, but as we rode along it grew darker and darker. It coalesced into the shape of a dwarf, and at first I thought it was one of the ones we lost, but soon I shed that theory. It had a sort of aura about it, shapeless, transparent, but there all the same. From it flowed river of malice, chilling our bones the way the glacier could not. As it grew closer the malice grew stronger.
“Pots! Get us out of here!” I screamed.
Post by: kisame12794 on November 08, 2011, 04:04:43 pm
“I see the end!” Screamed David, “Brace yourselves!”
The end appeared as a light, shining through the mist and burning it away. The shadow stopped as the light approached, as if it was being held back. The last thing I saw was the dull gleam of metal. We burst out into the sunshine in an explosion of sand. The sudden stop threw us all out of the wagon and into a sand dune. Sand. God dammit.

Question how many dwarves are left on the wagon.
Diary Of HOG:First encounter
Sand... Goblins... Sand Goblins...
I'm sick of sand and goblins
All I want some good rock under me and...
Screams in terror as a Wagon Comes out of no where.
After moments of shock I realize its just some dwarves and there plan old wagon.
But where did they come from?
Might as well say hi and make friends which is better than being alone out here.
Where ever here is...

Dwarven Encampment: Barren Wasteland
Climbing hill after hill thankful for the loss of mortality, I could feel that the dwarves were close. Reaching the top of this hill the dwarves could be seen below, huddled under the wagon to escape the menacing sun. Just then a portal began to materialize not far from the dwarves, within I could see him, the dwarf of black metal. The portal was unstable, as the dark metal dwarf was fading in and out of visibility, could only mean Lustrum was near by was was disrupting the destination. All the dwarves grabbed what they could and drove the wagon to the portal, getting up I sprinted towards the portal the longer human legs giving me more speed. Willing myself to be unseen and passing the dwarves I dived into to portal ahead of them and tackled the Metal Dwarf.
Frozen Cavern Fortress: Portal
Walking into the portal towards the wagon tracks, things were easy as the dwarves were only around the corner. But inside the portal distance seemed to stretch and shrink, odd the dwarves packed up and are now heading towards me. Seems like I will be reunited with my possession once again, whatever it is, why can’t I remember what it is? Reaching out to the oncoming dwarves, until a bodyless aura sped past them and rammed into me. Then the aura grew a human body, then it formed into a dwarf. Struggling with this new adversary was bothersome, head butting the dwarf and willing my form through time and space towards the escaping dwarves. I almost got to them before they went through the other side if the human-dwarf didn’t tackle me into an nearby wormhole.
Time and Space: Unknown
Wrestling with this mechanical dwarf was difficult, he never tired or felt pain making it impossible to phase him. Even with my lack of mortality I’m still a fleshy being, but even then I can still delay this dwarf until a way to destroy him can be found. He got past my defences and landed a solid blow to my chest, it felt like a elephant just stepped on me. I was then thrown into another wormhole which quickly ended in a flash of light, and then sand...
“RISE” pulling myself from the dune and shaking the sand from my beard, it felt great to be a dwarf again even tho I was only human for a very brief time “Astis you never said he was a mad clock makers legendary piece.”
“I HAD NOT KNOWN, HIS SOUL WAS TAKEN BEFORE I COULD BRING HIM BACK.”
“What do you mean his soul was taken? I thought he was a demon?”
“NOT A DEMON, HE WAS LIKE YOU AN AVATAR. BUT OSTAR AND HER MINION HAD TAKEN HIM WHEN HE WAS DEFEATED”
“So your saying... He’s not evil?”
“HE IS NOT EVIL AND IS NOT GOOD, HE IS CONFUSED AND NO LONGER REMEMBERS WHO HE IS.”
“Is there anyway we can bring him back?”
“THERE IS A WAY, BUT IT IS RISKY”
“What do I need to do...”

I'm going to have to wait until Kisame finishes his turn for the short story. As I've been enraptured in my story "Thine Love is Vengeance" again, trying to rewrite all the flaws in it so I can get past chapter 4 (and onto page 16+)
Well good luck on it!! As I said earlier, you can use my ideas whenever you wish!! :D

I just heard from several notable sources that toady one is working on other games as well ("gotta keep up with the variaty") so I thought he might be a little too occupied once in a while to work on DF, especially if he ever---no, what's the point in argueing? Five weeks later, we might be fighting in all out wars on DF IN ADVENTURER MODE!!
I eagerly await the day which we will face hordes of zombies and necromancers on a plague-ridden swamp battlefield where bats and giant frogmen call their home. TO WAR, FOR GLORY AND FOR THE MOTHERLAND!!!

Post by: kisame12794 on November 21, 2011, 08:24:45 pm
We hit the caverns, if you couldn't guess. I sealed them off. Not my problem anymore. A theif got in, but I flash enlisted some dwarves and chased him off. I am currently digging out a 60x60 pasture/treefarm/storage/workshop thing. The traders came and left, without their goods. I dismantled the depot, becasue Dammit we need those supplies. Got a quarry up, working on the mineshaft. I still have about half of a month left. Thats about it.
Post by: Hugo_The_Dwarf on November 22, 2011, 10:25:42 am
1. By reducing the amount of building materials it doesn't clutter up the first page of the workshop.
2. Gives the feel that all the items needed for the Assembly are acually in the Mineshaft.
3. It is a basis on how some new workshops will be built, and some may even require written plans to build the assemblies.
EDIT: this is more of a P.S.
Soon the majority of production shall begin, LONG LIVE THE PROFESSOR'S LEGACY!

"David" Fisherdwarf -DEAD-
FUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuu-
The milita captain "Thor" has both his feet/ankles broken
A random woodworker has a broken right hand.
And we have no Doctor that I can see.
Log of Gregour.
Bah! Bumbling fools, all of them. How could they let some blind cave ogres into the fort? Those things are blind for Astis Sake. Everyone is calling me Gregour the Painless, I killed a dwarf and a blind cave ogre with my bare hands. Both my arms are broken and my left leg as well, look at me I'm still walking. Those sorry excuses for Dwarves that call themselves soldiers are nursing their wounds in random beds over the fort, Thor has two broken ankles and he can't walk. Wuss.
Since there is no Doctor I saw that Stodir had some wound dressing skills, she is the new Chief Medical Dwarf. I also assigned a tempory Hospital, I might visit just to get these bones pushed back into the skin and set right. Oh and it seems nobody has the hairy dwarf balls to step-up as overseer. SO I took the job, and my rule will be great. First things first. MOAR MEAT!
OOC:
It's been a long time since I got to play. Hopefully I can keep this mess together long enough.
EDIT: and hot damn... Gonna take some time to place notes at the levers *glares at HOG* hopefully I do it right from HOG's post
EDIT2: Where in the blue blazes is our workshop floor? I found teh Quarry, Miner's Shop and Wood Shop but none of the other workshops
EDIT3: Nevermind I was just blind, they are below the afore-mentioned shops.

i'm just flunking a book report...I have a Phsycolgy Book report to do as well
I need to build a trebuchet.Sweet for a pumpkin toss thing?
Blah Blah Blah Obama then sure!Careful Master the FBI might come for you :P but where i'm at I got diplomatic immunity :D
And our fort has quite the interesting setup, I don't think I'll get used to it. But I'm glad we can seal ourselves up if we have to, the wounded are still being tended to and Gregour had to go there to get his various broken bones set. Of course I could just disband the temp hospital and destroy his bed. But I'd prefer everyone to be "fully" cared for.

I do have a question. How come there is a ghost cook dwarf he has a coffin but he is still unhappy? did we lose his body? I'm having a slab engraved about him to shut him up.
EDIT: as for teh dinning hall I take it, it is the insanely huge area dug out between the caverns?

As I wait for these blundering medics to set these bones, I received reports of migrants. The fresh meat for the grinder are:
Urdim a Mason, which I sent orders to work with all types of stone and stone activites
Tholtig a Carpenter which doubles as a butcher and engraver, I told her to join the woodcutters as well.
Vucar a natural born hunter that prefers to work with shearing and spinning wool then making it into clothing, loves fasion he does. I think he is a bit off.
Mosus he's a gemcutter with some medical skills, I assigned him as a full-time medic in all fields. With the current wounded and the injury rate he can learn on the job
Atis a miner, I told him to hold that pick and join the masons on his free time, and if there is no needed masonry he can run the furnace for the blacksmiths
Kikrost she is a cook, I assigned her other food related duties
Avuz another hunter, dabbles in woodworking.
Aban he is a talented doctor and has been assigned fulltime medical duty even as the new Cheif Medical.
Asob, no useful skills. But he is a retired Macedwarf.
Litast a useless wool spinner, she has been marked for the army.
Dastot same as Litast
Vabok, no way related to Vucar is also a hunter, but he like tanning.
Id joins Dastot and Litast in the army
Udib joins the woodcutters, carpenters and Furnace Operators.
Mestthos is a retired Hammerdwarf
Ilral is a natural warrior like me, and I have taken her under my wing
Alath is a master trapper and has done well with suturing. Part-time suturer and farmer
Tholtig natural hunter and retired swordsmen, I think he will make a great additon to our army
Urist, she works with leather.
Sister Dorok, a believer of Akim the Male Dwarf Priest of Rulership and Tosid Nirmekarban Rithul the Male Dwarf of Love and Mercy. Humans translate his name to "Tosid the Defensive Cradle of Petals".
Dumat, concripted into the army.
and we got two children and numerous animals.
I have also put all archers and hunters into the "Corridors of Scarring" as out archer squad. And I have taken on all the to be trained and retired warriors into my own squad.
It also appears Rith has taken a leather workshop, cave lobster chitin, giant mole leather, wood opals, and a quartzite block and has begun a mysterious construction. If you ask me I think whats gonna be make is a cave lobster chitin **** guard. With spikes. Kinda like Blizz, the dwarven metal band that sings "Dwarven Rock City" and "RAGH! it out loud".
Rith completed the object, It wasn't a **** guard but it is close, Cave Lobster Chitin Braies that Rith as named "Paintedplays the Executioner of Cats" I think I might wear them. And it looks like Thor has been put back together and is now on his feet again, ready and he took the retired warriors from my service, leaving me with the recruits. GAH!
I had a Fungiwood chest brought to the surface to make a barracks for us warriors to train in. Also some elves have come, let us see what they will
BY ASTIS A DARK GNOME THEIF!!! ATTACK!!!!! Damnit! The little bugger is too quick, I've stationed me and my squad of green sprouts at the enterance for a training lesson of rooting out theives. Traded a bunch of junk for their junk, they took out bronze book which upset Sister Dorok so we took it back, without payment.
Spring has ended.
EDIT:
YEAHAW First day of Summer a Dark Gnome blunders into the hall of death surrounded by us on our way back to the post. YOU ARE MINE!.
Ilral gets to the theif first, and after some parry and dodging Ilral lands a blow to the gnome with his club brusing the muscle, but it counter'd with a stab to Ilral's head killing the poor bugger, never fear Litast got there, but the sneaky gnome stabs her in the foot and she fell crying. Noob. But it won't escape me. Charging it, the gnome casually sidestepped me and slashed my arm just denting my skin. How could I be foolish, grabbing my dagger I charged again. It's eyes where on my and Litast scratched it in the chest surpising it as I rammed into it slashing its left hand with my silver dagger and stabbing it in the lower arm. It fell down and I smashed its skull in. Hmm... Lost one green sprout and the other is crying like a B**ch but showed some bravery, even with tears on her face she shows promise.

Now that I think about it I think I might of washed him away in the river or atom smashed him when I was figuring out which levers went to which so I could tell you. If not those 2 then I don't know how then.

Oy guys I could use some help with my book. I need a fourth school of magik. I have Healing, Battle, and Summoning.Leech/Necromancy/Soul magic that is more based on altering ones body, or giving artificial life to a corpse through embedding a temporay part of your soul into the body. Can go hand in hand with Summoning only summoning calls forth a soul from another plane/dimension/realm to manifest or possess something
EDIT: think of altering as mutating or transforming ones form to another or partial form such as dragon claws, unless that counts for summoning I'm not to familiar with your book.

I have finished my turn. I can't write anything fancy :( but this is what all happend
We got more Migrants
Killed alot of Thieves
Lost a Recruit to a thief
One of the recruits lost a foot and is now using a crutch
Zombies have sieged and I have oredered us to be locked in
Also saddly I found that my "Process Small Tress" reaction is buggy and the seeds that it yeilds cannot be planted. Unless there is a bug with getting seeds from a barrel. So saddly Tree farming in the (farming) sense is broke. but I think the large area we have dug out will be enough for natural tree farming.
Crap I forgot there was a dwarfing list, and that this was in there:
Name: Jason Wincloft
Type: Warrior
Gender: Male
Profession(s): Just militaristic
could the next overseer dwarf this dwarf please? Also I enlarged our military and set up a siege alert that makes civs stay indoors. And we need armor lots of armor.

Edge of Wasteland
A sharp stabbing pain quivered through the universe, signalling the death of David last of Portalpriests. This could not be his work, I pushed him out father in the wormhole he would be fortnights away from the dwarves. As I travelled by beard began to itch again, and the smell of decay hit my heightened senses. Turning quickly with a spinning jump kick my foot connected with something solid, that something solid was a rotten human skull it shattered from the force of the blow. Only one, he must be the cause for the undead in the other world. Only Ostar would be capable of something this unholy, the soul may be him but the capsule must be Ostar. Only a Demon or God can materialize themselves in the mortal realm as objects, it makes perfect sense now.
Swampy Jungle, Unknown
The fabric of this world and others cried out in mourning at the loss of a soul, this loss fired a memory. “There was Lizardmen invading, I was running to meet them but the fortress was so large. A young recruit could be seen in the distance at the entrance to the fort, every step he got larger and so did the number of Lizardmen. He fought with a style that I could only call my own, as I had trained him and now had to watch him get cut down. With a scream of rage I burst from the hall bowling through the Lizardmen cutting them down to the recruit, my squad came and started finished them off as I went the to recruit. Holding him he smiled back at me and gave me his amulet and told me to keep it for protection” then it faded away like mist in the dawn. No matter how hard I try why can’t I remember who I am? Or what these memories are? But I know all these answers will be in that object that the dwarf carries. As I looked to the direction of the object several fallen warriors of every race joined me, and we walked together in silence.

Chapter 1
Backstory
Backstory
Now that he is gone, I can tell you a story. A story of magic, and me. Death.
I’m still here you know.
No your not.
Yes I am.
Your not supposed to be here.
Why is that? Is it because of my “appointment”?
Perhaps.
Well I’m not leaving. Besides does it really matter where I am when my time runs out?
I suppose not. Your time will come, whether you are in Haven city or elsewhere. At least I won’t have to search for you.
Well alright then. While you tell the story, would you like to play some chess?
No. I never really got the hang of it. Checkers is more my speed. Anyway on with the story.
May I tell this story? Your text is giving the readers a headache.
No, It is my story. Isn’t that right Mr. Author?
Ouch. Why must you insist on breaking the fourth wall? And no, it is my story. And I created the Narrator for a reason.
Fine. I shall let him tell the story.
Thanks. Narrator you may continue, I have a fourth wall to fix.
Thank you. Now in Aluronra there exists a force called Magik. The people who can use magik are called Magus. Magus are very powerful, and well respected throughout the land, if for no other reason that it is a bad idea to make one angry. Magus have to be trained or they cannot control their magik, which is disastrous. One untrained magus can destroy and entire region, if left to their own devices for long enough. For this reason the law dictates that all children at who reach the age of five, are to be tested for any magikal power. If the child has magik, they are taken to one of the Great Collages to learn how to control it. The child may be taught in one of many different schools of magik. The most common schools are, Healing, Battle, Illusion, and Summoning. Healing magus mostly practice medicine and exorcism. Battle magus practice the more dangerous applications of Magik, such as fireballs, bolts of lightning, and other devastating powers. Illusionists create and control images and sounds, painting the world around them as an artist paints a canvas, becoming invisible, or disguising themselves. Summoners can call and control large beasts. These beasts can be used for warfare, or as beasts of burden. Now
Get on with it. This is boring me.
Alright fine. Be that way.
Thank you.
Sheesh.

I have expanded the storage/farm/pasture/workshop/cave thing, and a dwarf went into a secretive mood. He wants wood, stone, cut gems, cloth, and glass. I am engraving the dining room and the bedrooms. I am also carving out a more permanent hospital. The seige sits outside. Waiting. Maybe you could have the Zombies "rot" while on the map, so after a while they would dissapear.

EDIT:
Found some Galena a few levels down if you continue down the main mine shaft (one that leads to the cavern levels) that should help with the weapons.
EDIT2:
Wasn't expecting that. Dwarves butchered the zombies (the few that I had carfully herded away so it was 15 dwarves to 1 zombie) and then butched them again. Now I have zombie meat, tallow, and bones :/ amusing bug and thinking of leaving it in. But I don't think you should be able to eat rotten meat :P dwarven tradtion?
EDIT3:
Kisame I fricken Love you man, dug to cavern 3 and long and behold not 50 tiles away
I can't wait for my next turn now XD
EDIT4:
Thor is leading a biting demo lol
EDIT5:
