I got a Rain of Human Blood that some how resulted in fever, mass brusing of all limbs and organs followed by rapid suffication.
I lost that fortress twice in 5 min.

the third year has come and I have just managed to flood Necrorelics primary food storage and dining room by reworking the waterfall to power a room full of millstone's on the level above food storage. thankfuly it's only 1-2 deep but it is taking a long time staunching the flow as my masons are frightened by a little bit of water. I finaly have metal working facilitys up and running near the magma sea unfortunatly the only metals i have are sapherlite tetrahedrite and cotton candy which i can't get to at the moment. Anyway as something to do i have decided to make Necrorelics live up to its name by memorializing every named creature that dies here and giving every dwarf a tomb at least 3x3 in size.

edit- forgot to mentiona mason died in an effort to increse the power of the waterwheel... oh well.

Crabwhiped has died sue to FPS and dwarfs not being able to path to stockpiles they were standing in. so i threw a lever and drained a river in to the first cavern layer and abanded it.

In a dessert not filled with undead a few tiles over i have founded Necrorelics the site is on the junction of 3 rivers and has 2 waterfalls and uder the top 2 layers there is at least 4 to 5 layer of obsidian. my dining room is made obsidian with obsidian furnature and a waterfall falling through one end of it. unfortunately at the begining of the second year i had to savescum twice as the elvish caravan kept turning up with 3 squads of bow goblins in tow and i had no defences. eventual they and an ambush of spear goblins were delt with by the millitary. also i think my fortress is built on a forgotten beast highway or something as when i breached the first cavern layer by accident there was a forgotten beast right nex to the hole 1z level down it was only a blob of steam with a shell and thankful coulden't fly but the second cavern is now home to Urer Evilbeach the Hex of Drink a great Quetzal composed of ash it has two long spiral horns and it squirms an fidgets. who knows maby the 3rd year will net me one in the third cavern layer.

well Happy time is over in Crabwhiped for Isa the Forgotten Beast has come it is a Huge hairy iguana it has a fat bulgeing trunk and it is raverning. Beware its deadly blood. it attacked before i could finish the gate which would have sealed the first cavern layer althoug my mechanic nearly got the mechanisms installed before it got there. Millitary (well those who decided to come along) then proceded to Stab, Hack, Bash, Punch, Kick, Grapple, and Bite Isa to death by blood loss with only one dwarf dieing as a result of being thrown buy the head in to microline wall. as a result the survivers have dwarf rot it starts as nausia and slight pain with a fever before developing in to full blown swelling and rotting of everything but strangely showing no wounds. some of the soldiers also refuse to stay in the hospital prefering to continue training.  anyway wish me luck

also great art hjd_uk.

It seems like every time i post here i have a new fort. anyway it's now early autumn of the year 102 at Raptortombs after a year and a half in this embark which is a 50% terrifying (mountains) & 50% untamed wilds (woodland) biome. Things are looking good one fatality and one permenant cripple soon to be euthanized both because of skeletal giant eagles. i've discovered two of the cavern levels and i am heading for the magma sea next. I haven't really explored either of the caverns yet because everything in there is a zombie. beyond that i am trying to crank out as much bronze armor and weapons as possible so i can take on the caverns. (and because i set titans to start attacking at pop 40) also on a random note my hunter has discovered that he can shoot creatures in the first cavern by firing down the well shaft in the dinning room and has subsequently spent considerable time tormenting a Zombie Giant Cave Spider from relative safety.

I am now in the possession of a artifact donkey bone bracelet that's it there is nothing on it at all the guy made it and told the other dwarfs that it was an artifact and they believed him.

Urist McBoneCarver I am disappoint.

fourth year of new fortress first my first ambush was stopped by cage traps and the prisoners are being setup in the shooting gallery to train my new marksdwarfs other than that i am trying to find the first cavern layer and i've killed about 6-8 dwarf's digging a well shaft and cistern system sadly i have another well shaft to dig before i can fill it with water.
