Hunting forgotten beast is very nerve-wracking. It's like a titan that you can't see from a distance, and will probably only get to react when it's already on top of you. It's a mysterious horror in the dark. Recently some idiot dwarves moved back into this ruin; these certainly aren't the kind of guys who survive horror films. I thought I might use them as decoys.

Yeah, I had the surreal experience of there being two fortresses really nearby who had been lost, one to a hydra, one to a FB, I headed inside and was peeking around corners expecting at any moment for a web spewing rabbit made of vomit and pain to jump out and begin humping my earballs out or something... and then find myself relieved to discover that it was only a hydra in the far side of a workshop.

"Oh, it's just a multi-attacking damage sponge, whew, I can deal with this."

Apparently the FB I was looking for was in another castle, Mario.

My nerves are still rattled. I should be relieved, but it irks me that it was able to get a breath in at all. My shield use is legendary, but what if that's not enough?

I'm not sure where I first saw this but someone recently suggested that dragons won't breathe at point blank range, which is very wrong and I am glad, a point blank burst of breath is soaked by your shield and then gone.

At longer ranges it still spreads around you, very dramatic, for sure, but far more annoying if you're surrounded by flammable objects, like wooden toys, grass, animals, goblins, elves, dorfs, humans, corpses, the sky, and so forth.

EDIT: Oh, and for slaying a forgotten beast that destroyed their city ~1000 years ago, I'm just a killer. Not a brave killer, not a heroic or legendary hero, just a killer. Where the fuck is my respect?!

I think there might be an issue with the FB getting a resident tag in the fort, as I recall.

Neat, bit by bit pulling more of the stuff I use advfort for back out to the x menu!

I read that in a voice like the Lumpy Space Portal Frog from Adventure Time... I don't know why.

Was discussing this with the gf last night (she loves to talk about dem dorfs and don't even play, I know, I'm a lucky guy) and decided newborn dorfs are like marsupial offspring, blind, lacking rear legs, they simply cling on to their mothers beard and sip at the booze soaked into it until their legs develop and they can drop to the ground, run off into the bushes, and feed.

Nice, I apparently hit the first Meyi Lilactin so hard he came back to life as a female:




(Also, I love the board software here for little things like being able to specify width, use "img width=650" instead of "img" and you get the smaller images you can click to enlarge like those two, I don't mind myself but some posters read on smaller screens or have the pages zoomed differently and it can break tables or just be hard to see at larger img sizes, I find 650 to be a good middle ground, you can do height as well but if you do both it can screw with the aspect ratio)

Not exact but pretty close:

Good man, truly you are an hero.

Though I'm still uncomfortable with the use of the phrase "vigorous wool pounder"... probably due to my Scottish ancestry.

You can of course ask about the position of your own forces, get info about possible troublemakers in the form of others vying for control, recruit hearthpersons up to a limit, and so forth.

Oh, and dragons will definitely use their breath right up in your face, I prefer when they do actually because then you shield block it before it spreads and sets everything on fire.
