The dead walk. Hide while you still can! Elf zombies and bird-bug large mutant dwarfs called Soldier of Oilreleased. Eleven in total.

After some training, both recruits of the squad Blockaded Riddled Elbows progressed into proper axedwarf.

The zombies caught the scent and found the watch dog. Poor doggo died.

Sea and river froze up, killing a giant sponge and some sturgeons.

Built cage trap corridor. Opened the gate. Elf zombies were caged. Two dwarves went out to clean the dead dog's blood and got stranded. One died. A mechanic who was loading the cage trap, when spotting the enemies, instead of running back, ran up to fight them and got killed. Worst of all, those mutants turned out to be trap avoiders. This was getting messy, but then the game crashed and an hour's progress was lost. The gate was not yet opened, and those few dwarves weren't dead. The new plan: repeating spikes.

The bunch of mutants had turned the grassed ground into bare clay as they were milling around at the edge of the map.

Sea and river thawed. Dead sponge and dead sturgeons became zombies. The zombies converted yet an ostrich. The dead sturgeons walked and chased a visiting human swordsman around.

The spikes were finished. The gate was open. First, the zombies. Elf zombies and skeletal sturgeons, successfully caught. Then the mutants. Trapped them just in front of the obsidian door. Repeating the spikes. Very slowly, these large mutants fell one by one. About half a month later, only one remained. The obsidian door was now XX=obsidian door=XX. It's time for the soldiers. The two dwarves were put to test against a real, though much crippled, enemy. After a few days, they managed to kill the last mutant, Atir, who once was a dwarf, now a large bird-bug mutant. A visiting speardwarf finished off the last rogue elf zombie. The first siege was thus broken. Now it's already 7th felsite 78, almost half a year since the siege began.

8th malachite 78
Some migrants have arrived.

Petition to build a temple by the 11 local worshippers of Odgub the Razor of Seizing, a deity of the Roasted Attic, associated with chaos. Prophetic.

14th galena 78
zombie giant peach faced lovebirds
The two axedwarves were ordered to kill them. The two, though managed to killed a few zombie birds, died in the fight. The remaining lovebird zombies were alos disemboweled. They were dragging their intestines like a tassel while flying in the air. The new militia: Astesh Ushrirtitthal and Mosus Uzolishen.

11th limestone 78
A caravan from Ibeshendok has arrived. Attacked by zombie lovebirds, they refused to trade and left. Two animals dropped their load. The guards killed all the remaining zombies but one. The last one kept on fighting. It killed two merchants, a guard, and injured two dwarves passing by, before finally died. Mistem Othiloddom, one of the injured, lost his ability to grasp. Unable to do any job anymore, Mistem was enrolled in the militia. Hopefully he would grow into a fierce biter.

Some migrants have arrived.
A barn owl corpse attacked the migrants. Mistem Othiloddom arrived at the battle. As expected, he beheaded the zombie owl in one powerful bite.

Onol Fikodkulet, one of the believers, promptly entered the temple to meditate on chaos, after the artifact was installed.

9th moonstone 78
The Forgotten Beast Gasir Nebinoggez Tobot Athnir has come!  A towering eyeless tick.  It has an enormous shell and it is ravening.  Beware its noxious secreations!

The cat, released into the cavern the last summer, was still alive. It even scratched Gasir and broke a tendon of this massive tick.

A random gorlak, not so lucky.
Gorlak: I must withdraw!

Minkot made an obsidian bed

Deler Sarveshkubuk, Bard is visiting. Deler is the first visitor in the history of the fort. Now he's in great danger, arriving just when a zombie siege takes place.

18th hematite 79
The zombies found Deler and killed him.

The goblin flusher was set in operation. Two problems appeared.
1. The flow was so strong, that there were little chunks of 4/7 water that stopped pathing.
2. Though it was a 70 level drop, the last 20 levels were water, which cushioned the victim, who mostly survived. Out of the half a hundred, only two died from falling.

The intake had to be closed and opened regularly to adjust the water flow. An atom smasher was being built next to the bottom of the shaft, where the zombies were falling down to one by one.

The atom smasher was done. Now Asen Sibrekakath (who also made the first artifact of this fort) went to deconstruct the wall that stood between the atom smasher and 20 levels of water and 2 pages of zombies. As soon as the wall was removed, all those zombies spilt out and instantly killed Asen. Then the atom smasher began to work, crushing away the number of zombies.

Deler rose and joined the dead.
"Deler Sarveshkubuk's rotten corpse.
A short, sturdy creature fond of drink and industry.

His heart  is  broken."

Deler found his way into the bottom of the drop, too, and was also crushed.

4th galena 79
The last zombie, an elf pikeman, after escaping the flushing water, was caged. The siege ended.

10th galena 79
The Forgotten Beast Gened Omomo Spososon has come! A great three-eyed crocodile.  It has three long, curving horns and it has a gaunt appearance.  Its pearl scales are large and close-set.  Beware its poisonous gas!

3 zombie crow men killed Deduk Koganthocit, Bard, and then Besmar Ducimzatthud, Suturer, and then injured a farmer. Astesh the militia commander arrived and killed the zombies. The farmer, Zan Alathstigil, was saved, but he was exhausted from the fight.

A gremlin!  Drive it away!

A door was built at where the underground highway led into the lobby, to control traffic. Every time a kobold passed through it, the door was taken. To retake the door, a dwarf needed to pass through it. An unlinked lever was built outside the door, so that it could make a dwarf walk there and pull it, when the door needed to be retaken. A statue of kobold was put right next to the lever. The statue, -gabbro statue of Koboboker-, depicted Koboboker the kobold embracing his wife Peembus the kobold.

Logem Kulinmörul and Urvad Bomrekedtul were appointed as the two fortress cleaners, to clean the blood pool caused by waterfall overflow. All other dwarves had their cleaning deactivated.

A few days later, a dwarf named Zon cleaned the pools of blood. Some dwarves must have been missed when cleaning was deactivated to all.

removed the skill restriction at the 3rd forge, as there might not be any skilled armorsmith

1st sandstone 80
Stopped gathering eggs, moving elk hens to nest room. Things didn't go as planned. The three elk hens ran to the nestboxes as soon as they were removed from the pasture and immediately laid eggs, before the dwaves had any chance to chain them. After that, however, they didn't stay put sitting on their eggs. Rather, they oscillated between the nestbox and an adjacent tile. This most likely killed the eggs. Anyway, a season later and there would be a result.

2nd sandstone 80
Some migrants have arrived. Eral Avuznitem, the first child in the fort.

15th sandstone 80
started irrigating the second 21x21 pasture

made an addition tunnel to the 3rd cavern, connecting yet another area cut off by the lake.
Gened, the horned crocodile with poisonous gas, took this tunnel and began its ascension into the fort. On its way up, Gened killed a gremlin. As soon as it entered the lobby, the sparring soldiers swarmed Gened. A macedwarf hit it with a silver flail and sent all the many crocodile teeth flying. After some intense action, an axedwarf finally beheaded Gened. Curiously, Gened never once used its poisonous gas while fighting the soldiers.

One of the elk hens was hungry. Three dwarves were also stuck at Train Elk Bird task, to the point of getting hungry and thirsty. The dwarves were freed when the three elk hens' trainers were set from "any trainer" to "none". A few other dwarves were activated with Animal Care, who hopefully would feed the hungry elk hens.

25th timber 80

6th moonstone 80
The elk hens were starving, but nobody fed them. The breeding project thus failed. The eggs were gathered, and the birds were returned to the common pasture.

started slaughtering the male elk birds, as the breeding project had failed

The enemies slowly walked into the flusher. The pioneer was a beardless dwarf recruit. Amxu quickly dropped, from z 80 to z 10. Stozu escaped the water flow and marched toward the inner fort. Stozu was then caged. A few trolls were also quick enough to escape the flow. One of them encountered a wild elk bird on the stairway. The bird died but still pecked the troll quite badly. The troll crawled to the main level (z 60) and started to destroy the door just in front of the lobby.

Ast Bimmozib, Bard was also caught in the flusher, currently combating the flow.

27th granite 81
Ast entered the lobby. The remaining enemies were killed. Siege ended.

Ast Bimmozib began to reside in the fortress.

Zuglar the monster slayer, going out and in, back and forth, having a kill count of 12, miraculously avoided forgotten beasts, invading armies, swinging drawbridges all the time.

Though the production order was set at maximal 10 eshiks, and 17 ones were already produced, the dwarves were still making more and more eshiks. Maybe the ones stored in the tavern chests were not counted for the condition of the order.

The second 21x21 pasture was done drying. It was accessed through a 11 tile long corridor with cage traps. This was for the animals not yet fully domesticated, the elk birds and the giant olms.

48 books in the Golden Vault. The double library method worked well.

6th slate 82
Some migrants have arrived.

Probably it's time to solve the problem of Isa, flying snail with deadly blood, trapped for three years already. Three squads were stationed near the trap. The drawbridge was lowered. Isa snailed out, flapping its snail wings. Avuz the speardwarf quickly skewered this beast, without getting any blood on his hands even.

Goden Athellatur, Weaponsmith was possessed for a large serrated adamantine disc, Rulethbesh Fashlakal, Basic Value: 5221200*

Isa produced 211 meat.

Isa's blood caught 2 cats and a kitten. It was necrotic. The kitten happened to die within the evil area and rose as a zombie. The zombie appeared as "cat corpse" but not "kitten corpse".

Etur Kengkilrud, the piglet, also died. No combat message. Etur was pastured, away from any traffic. There was no reason Etur would have picked up any of Isa's blood. The corpse was also completely clean.

2nd felsite 82
Mistem Luzlemzulban became unfocused. This was one of the survivors of an giant lovebird zombie attack in year 78.

Isa's blood continued to kill more cats.

Ustuth Egenavuz, the retired fisherdwarf, was attacked by the buck rabbit that she tried to geld. Ustuth collapsed to the ground with fear. "She is shocked after being attacked. She feels satisfied after gelding a creature."

Sky tower construction site: the workers fought off two zombie ravens.

Nil Mishosalath liked spear and spears were mandated. He seemed to be bothered by his substandard office, so a new weapon trap went there, with the artifact adamantine disc Rulethbesh Fashlakal.

1st hematite 82
The dead walk. Hide while you still can! Zombies of goblins and humans. And Night's Hounds, large monkeys with antennae, mutated from dogs, created by dwarf necromance Id Blazedorbs of Patternedmongers (the tower northwest from the fort) in Entrysoaked (can't find this place on map) in the year 66. Also "Id's disaster", horned maggot created from beak dogs, also by Id Blazedorbs.

Levers were pulled. Drawbridges swung. The flusher started. The undeads went to chase a pack of wild dingoes.

Vutok Emilral, poet is visiting. The NE entry is opened. Vutok quickly enters before drawing any attention from the enemies.

The flusher claimed the first kill, Smenre the Night's Hound. A month later, the flusher had killed all the night's hounds, some of the id's disaster, and captured half of the zombies. The four remaining id's disaster escaped the flow and passed the flusher. They were killed by the soldiers. It turned out that they could be butchered and each  had 25 meat.

The spikes at the bottom of the flusher slowly chipped away the captured zombies bit by bit. Only 3 left. There were yet also 3 zombies uncaptured, chasing ostriches around the map.

Thob Limulod made an artifact crutch.

second farmer's workshop, dedicated to gelding

The lumberjacks in the caverns encountered a giant cave spider. The dwarves punched the spider, but the spider didn't throw any web, for some reason.

A dwarf went to clean some place in the cavern, dangerously close to this spider. Fortunately, the many pillars in that area cut the line of sight. A curious kitten followed. When the cleaning was finished, the returning dwarf and the arriving kitten were stuck in some kind of a pathing loop. They bumped into each other, and re-pathed, and went around a pillar, only to bump into each again, and re-pathed, and again and again, all this time being just a few pillars away from the spider, yet unseen. A few loops later, they managed to snap out of it and both were on their way back to the fort.

3th opal 82
the spider was caged

sky tower construction site: 2 zombie giant magpies killed 6 dwarves. Corpses rose. This was strange as the whole sky tower was not on the evil biome.

This human visited here before and someone told him about the artifact.
The Carnal Gladness is the bone mace, the first artifact of this fort.
Unlike the previous dwarven thieves who ran away as soon as spotted by the watch dog, he proceeded to descend the stairs. The watch dog didn't fight him either. Thrura entered the main hall, fired a bolt and was killed very quickly by the soldiers who were constantly sparring there, while trying to reload his crossbow. Although he was "hostile" on unit list, the doors he passed through weren't "taken by enemy", and still remained lockable.

Meanwhile, near the entrance, another dog killed a visiting human poet for no apparent reason. Probably it's some faction thing.

A resident dwarven poet was possessed!

The hippo roamed freely among the stone rooms for months and seemed just fine. Hippos were not grazers.

Iteb Desisnish, the kitten, got some blood of Utesh on its paws. The blood knocked it out and it got bruises on its body. Perhaps a necrotic poison. Thanks to the waterfall, this kitten was washed clean very soon.

Isa Gugiranu, visiting scholar, composed Trade Maps for Everyone. A dwarf smith entered the room and picked up the scroll to read it. After reading, he would very likely put it in the bookshelves of the resident library, but not return it to Isa...

As expected, Thob the smith brought the scroll to the resident library.

The forgotten beast Spab Stutusnusm Zongosp As has come! A great feathered nematode. It has wings and it is slavering. Its dark taupe feathers are downy. Beware its webs! Finally, a silk farm.

Spab encountered a monster hunter down there. The swordsdwarf gave it a stab and Spab crushed his head. Spab, one wing broken, limping to the planned trap.

As the drawbridges were operating, Lorbam, who was going to fetch a dead cave fish, got flung off and broke his hand when he fell down.

Then on its way up, Spab killed a leaving human pikeman, and then Id Ilralbelal the monster hunter, and then a stray cat, and then Zulban Alathkanzud and her baby Kol Azinmeng. Eventually, Spab was in the trap, contained. Now the plan to set up the silk factory.

trees grew up in the tree farm, 3 years after the first saplings appeared.

Building 2x1 niches in guild halls to better protect the displayed artifacts. Once the artifact is put on the pedestal, bars will be installed. However, dwarves probably won't be able to enjoy the exhibition either, as they only admire adjacent objects. Nevertheless, the artifacts still count towards the room value. That's the main point.

Bee garden. A chimney to the surface, to let the bees fly in and out. This should be able to support 9 hives.

No human caravan this summer. Maybe they'd send siege next year.

Sacks of Sinking, a whole performance troupe, petitioned to reside in the fort. Deny.

It's autumn and the dwarven caravan didn't come. Perhaps they got stuck the last year when a fiendish smoke just happened where they entered the map and the first merchant was husked.

The human pikeman that Spab killed came back as a ghost. Aren't only the dwarves able to become ghost in a fortress? Thola rose as a ghost the first thing it did was to haunt a human axeman. Perhaps, as a human ghost, it wouldn't haunt dwarves.

Sizet Uselcasser, Human Axeman cancels Sleep: Horrified.

I'm making yet another game and this time it's actually playable. I name it Daily Adventure 2022. It is a plain text adventure, and every turn is one day. The player puts in the commands and let it run, and then checks the events after one in-game day passed. It's designed to be multi-player, sort of like a MUD (I got a lot of inspirations from BatMUD and Cantr II).

Now I'm play-testing it. First we start the game. And this is what we see.


Like I said, it's pure and plain text. We have our new adventurer, Tom, in a diorite salon. Let's walk around and see what we can do.


Well, it should start at day 1 but I accidentally double-hit Enter so we wasted the first day and now it's day 2... Anyway we can see Tom walking around...

After leaving the salon, we can see the land around us. We're at Dypsa, the valuable camp. And there's a persimmon tree...


There's a sprite over there. We'll probably come back later and fight it.


And a pixie standing under a fir.


So we spent the day walking around and discovered that we're in a land of sprite, pixie, fairy, and fruit trees.


And here's the summary. Look how we start as an aspiring brawler! Tomorrow we'll train brawling skill on one of the pixies and probably explore the areas around us.
