just be aware that you cannot use Kitfox assets in released mods.

But well, to offset that there's a lot to unpack in this one. Lets get started then.
First of all, Sas has really taken to our newest, smallest companion (whom i'm still very much suspicious of). It seems he even decided on a name for the little lass... Without our input. And i'm not too fond of the one he picked for her. Among those Sas put out, i'd prefer Kadi... But whatever, we can hammer that issue out later, in proper. What's more interesting is his apparent fatherly affection toward her. I guess we'll figure out eventually what that's about. Though i'm not sure how much older Sas is than the vagrant girl. I'm under the impression that Sas is fairly young himself, and since it's a little difficult to tell in case of the stoat-kin, it might turn out that she's older than he is... Now wouldn't that be a bit of an embarrassing situation, huh?

Crackantler as well has made himself apparent. I'm starting to pick up a bit of a pattern from him. Every time we face some form of hardship, he is there. To mock us and to tempt us. And, it's getting harder to resist, isn't it? Had we been given a choice in this instance, there would've been a pretty good chance we would have been divided on whether or not to accept his aid. I fear that sooner or later, we'll come across a situation, where we'll have no choice but to accept Crackantler's help, and all that entails. Not to mention, his points aren't entirely without merit...

Then there's that dream again, with the room or the cell or whatever it is. I'm still uncertain why we keep seeing this place in our dreams. Makes me feel like we're missing something. Is someone sending these visions to us? The first time we saw the place, we got some very valuable - and accurate! - intel that allowed us to avert certain disaster. Since then, there's not much, but we still keep seeing it...
And of course then there's our possibly greatest fear, The Wraithcaller. I'm surprised by how persistent he is in trying to liberate Crackantler from us. I'm not certain there's anything special about Crackantler that would make The Wraithcaller - presumably at the behest of his master, Veno - so interested in him. Aside maybe from the fact that Wraith Crackantler is a wraith created by a non-corrupt shaman/spirit?

"I'll make us a fire at least..." Sas declares and slowly stands up, the stoat lass curled at his lap slowly sliding off. She doesn't move, but is breathing, and the man's careful motion does not interrupt this state. "I think I'll go seek something to eat at dawn." he adds, as he departs onto his search.

I feel like something as adorable as the stoat girl sleeping curled up on Sas' lap deserves a picture of it's own. Maybe a quick look through Flax's eyes? Since we know he has some form of enhanced night-vision and would have surely been able to see this absolutely adorable picture in much higher clarity than us. Though, he almost certainly doesn't care about stuff like that.

Anyway, we should tell Sas to go on his search for food. Possibly together with either Flax, or the stoat girl. Either could act as a decent spotter for him. We'll take care of the fire.
It's always better to work in parallel if possible. And we should have no trouble with the fire.

Might as well say "moderated(censored) by Kitfox Games" instead. More honest at least.

The wiki hasn't been stolen from the community, has it?

... How would it have been stolen? I'm struggling to understand how that could possibly work. Did they go through and steal our hosting accounts? Did they commit a heist against the domain name?

Kitfox generously offered to pay for the hosting costs of the wiki, in exchange for the wiki dropping advertisements.

Well then it's already fucked by the sheer virtue letting a company with an agenda have influence over an information source. Doubly fucked, by relying solely on the goodwill of a single company with an agenda for your financial needs. It works by this company with an agenda having the entirety of the wiki by it's non-existent balls. They just have to squeeze, and the wiki fucks will sing them whatever tune they want, if the wiki wants to keep the lights on, that is.

I've never seen Flax this ecstatic before, and i don't like it. He seems to view the little weasel girl - and perhaps everyone - as just another piece on the board. I feel like i'm starting to get a clearer picture of what Flax and his "people" are like, considering some of the things our new friend alluded to.

Anyway, lets say i agree with both of you on getting her a name. or at least inquiring her on how it came to be that she doesn't have a name to call herself by?

Also, did we ever give back her talisman? it seems like it's important to her. I know the captain or whomever gave it to us, but i don't know if we gave it back to her? If not, we should. With a promise, that she'll let us examine it later, as it is probably magical.

Continue the questions and also try to find out what she was looking for on the corpses.


Also what is the little white critter anyway?

Yeah i noticed too, that nobody present has told us what she is yet. Probably because they don't know themselves.
I think a case could be made, that since no one apparently can place her accent or tell us what she even is, she's from a place so foreign that would have no interest in spying on whatever kingdom we're in, due to it's distance. Besides, considering how wimpy she appears to be, she doesn't exactly strike me as a trained spy, especially seeing how she got caught, apparently by a bunch of rank-and-file soldiers.

I hope you will not seek to make those terrible words a self-fulfilling prophecy. We would all miss you, Pixels. i would especially, my friend, and i have missed you. Only for your first post after your absence, to be like the twisting of a knife that's been lodged in my gut for months. I would want nothing more, than for you to tell me about everything you're going through - in private messages, if you prefer it that way. Of course, if you don't want to pour out private stuff like that for others to see, that's your right. Just know, that i will be here as long as you are. I know it may seem strange to read the following words on a screen, in a forum post made by someone whom you've never met face to face, but i do sincerely care about what happens to you, Pixels.

but if you want to try something and save whoever that is

I do. If for no other reason than doing what seems right to do. And what's going on here doesn't look like justice, nor justified. But i'm a bit short on ideas of how to do that. I was hoping maybe you might have some ideas? I'm not gonna be counting on any of the numerous lurkers of this thread to chime in on this.

'strik3r' Coverpage the Socketed Lenses of Flashing - Dead. He was casualty in 1057 midsummer during the massive riot. He was responsible for putting down many of the dangerous undead including the animated giant. However another dwarf necromancer killed him in cold blood during the riot

Damn. But at least i got some (apparently) pretty major kills before i was tragically and unceremoniously put down. Oh well. But, just how dead am i? Any chance of revival as intelligent undead, or am i strewn about in a few dozen pieces?

If that's the case, i'd like to ask to reincarnate at some point.

As for accommodating all those dwarves, whatever the solution will be, it'll still make sense to include the least amount of pathing possible.
