Spring starts, as i prepare the first drink of the night, The Chocotini such a rich taste that perfectly partners with the richness of life and plants that spring brings.

I transend and assume the form of the dwarven cook. Such a small population for a fort but looking at such a death counter im not surprised. But legends be dammed.

I look upon our accomedation, small and cramped. We deserve greater quarters than these meager offerings. I will get to digging grander abodes.

Mapping it out drained my grass to near empty as i have barely passed a day, dam my thirst. Time to let things progress

Looks like Tramadol is our sole miner. But a legendary one at that.

Drink finished. 2nd Felsite. Barely a day. Well time to refill.

2nd Drink - Sweet Tart Sweetheart

A fine creation menacing with rasberrys and mint leaves.

Our walls are bare, how will future dwarven generations know the important events. Assigned our best engraver to carve the walls with our history


One of our Axe lords has given birth to a girl, another new dwarf welcomed into the fortress this blessed 24th of Granite 259.

Noticed The Rough Obstacles squad, still traveling but are yet to return. How long have they been gone?

The Kea's continue to steal stuff littered upon the surface. Makes me wonder what their nest looks like with all this assorted shit.

A steel axe has been named.

Summer arrives and a vile force of darkness has arrived. Time to lever hunt or just look a door. Honestly not surprised they are attacking us, we do have a goblin overlord imprisoned here.

Early summer as my glass empties, another cocktail is required. This time I shall go for a french kiss.

Finally a grand engraving to show

So turns out we might need to launch a rescue squad at somepoint in the future.

Nothing stops as the fortress is slowly become engraved. Our engraver has gone from professional to great with them soon hitting Master

They hit master now.

The siege had ended

The merchants cannot reach our site, no wonder their are orders to cut all the trees down. We are burried in a forest.

With every passing second seeing the increased frequency of masterwork engravings is music to my ears.

No trade goods ummm, just trade the crap nearest to the depot. Wait why is there a caged dwarf

We have a bunch more inside the fortress.

No one bothered to go to the depot to busy "moving stuff"

Rooms finally dug, everyone on smoothing.

Outpost liason is dead, dehydrated. Seeing as they are new this year i wonder if this is a repeating theme.

Ive slowed down, catching up on this cocktail and making another as winter arrives soon.

Winter and a magma crab had twins.

Last cocktail, an Apply ever after. Certainlty hope it ends well. Rooms mostly smoothed. Engraving by the master soon.

As my turn ends, two new sheriffs have been elected.



Its not the side effects of drinks, i think it must be crafts.

Turn ended, i think i might make a new thread, link the previous threads and turns as it this one wasm't linked well and the author is long afk.

And you have to find the blood. Hopefully there's still some in the Museum.

Barrels of the stuff

Seeing all this talk of fighting demons im gonna give my advice.

Was fighting a demon as an undead in another world, it got stuck in a combat loop gouging my rhinomans eyes out after ripping a leg and an hand off him. Slowly kept punching the demon with the good hand until it bleed out. Sometimes you get lucky like that, most the time its you being shreaded. You need some god tier stats to stand a chance. Always go for the legs, a good hit to bring them down to the ground and slow them.

Pray, pray the demon doesn't just decapitate you turn one.

Shooting from a distance whilst stealthed is a good method to kill a demon although less fun. Counters demons abilities, can't use them against you if they can't see you.

If you want to be pure melee demon fighter here is my ultimate warrior plan:
Brown Recluse Spider Man 
- No pain so you can keep fighting til the bitter end
- Web immune - turns the worst ability to face in combat into nothing at all. Plus you can collect thread from them
- Six arms - one weapon either one or two handed and then 5 or 4 shields. This makes for good defense against hits and fire balls. Trains shield use faster.

Vampirsm
- No need for breathing, can't be strangled and removes the weakness of cannot swim. Just walking through rivers with ease.
- No exert, this plus no pain turns endurance and willpower into a pointless stat so you can assign the points elsewhere just ensure you get vampirism as you will get tired quick without it
- Doubles physical stats, hit harder, dodge faster and take less damage
- No need for food and drink, on the battlefield blood is your only snack
- Immortal, you can keep doing this for years

Training
- Fight lesser foes before facing the demons, might i recomend goblins

Issues
- Will need to use a fort to comission some fitting armor for added protection but that is easily done
- Infertile once you become a vampire so no spider family after you become a vampire

They are certainly curious horrors. Was just digging into the story of them. Getting some ideas for a new group of adventurers for my next turn.

There are about five Malladang goblins left, in Confusedship, and they're all blighted thralls. The fort has been plundered by adventurers before - there's an elephant fiend corpse there slain by the alligator man Nethrez.

Charcoal Brutes are nasty. In my experience the only demons that cause trouble are the web shooters and fire breathers. Your regular mortal is going to have next to no chance of avenging Suril.

The next characters have no intention on fighting demons ahahah. I fought some demons as Holyblood and yeah they are certainly tough. Firebreathers will need good shield use to block the flames. Webs are instant death unitl your a brown recluse spider man or another web immune race.

The curious horrors are still alive, they are just so few in numbers, a small group of goblins hidding in some fortress. Can't recall where. I have left them alone as i wanted to see if they would rebuild and return to a living civ.

Edit: Seems most the royal court were turned to ghouls.

Master Olngo Furpoisions has been imprisoned for nearly two hundred years, becoming defacto master.



She has lived so long "imprisoned" in Throatletters that her capturers. Early in the 9th century, the main populace died out only leaving the odd religious figure of The Sect of Evenness spending a day working from the site. Before leaving to Treatyside to join the main congregation. Perhaps its a rite of passage for members of The Sect of Evenness, to visit such a historical site dating back hundreds of years to its construction in 129. Also being the first structure of worship to be built since the construction of The Chapel of Canyons within Treatyseed.

I had/have grander plans for the site but just didn't allocate enough time for it.

The serpent men were not there before and i thought they might of been the ones i revived as intelligent undead

His jaw be as bald as the worm that birthed him
