I have to admit at first I thought he was suicidal, because why in the world would any sane dwarf run to the edge of the lava. Moments later I saw him flash and some body parts fly and thought, "Oh that idiot!, he just got himself shot to hell by a fireball." Granted I've never seen a fireball blow parts off anyone, but I assumed the worst. Then I go to check what parts he still has left. Surprisingly, he's intact and the imp is beside itself, in the most literal of senses. This is why your dwarf is not allowed to spar with the recruits. I fear training your dwarf and that sword more than I fear training a speardwarf now. More to come tommorow! Keep watching! I assure you more exitement to come.

Arg, FPS slowdown due to having so many dwarves. I'd limit the amount but then how would we get to the fun of sieges?

So much to tell! In the past few days so much has happened. First off we heard of the arrival of the elves. We were hopeful for more wood. We would never have the chance to trade with them, for as soon as they hit the depot they were ambushed by goblins!

A scrambled sort of insanity perused. Our guard dog that was set to alert us to any kobolds entering was slayed. The military was alerted and set on point. Civilians were rushing all over the scene, attempting to claim the items that the elves had dropped.

Arminger was the first to arrive, he faced off against 3 goblins, but in the end only managed to injure one before one of the goblin swordsman ran him through. Yougie arrived just after the critical moment. Yougie managed to kill one and was in the process of killing the second when Lyudmilia arrived, took aim and shot down the third. It was at this time that Gaweir awoke! Fully healed he grabbed his sword, his armor and charged out into the ending frey. He then went on to charge after the remaining goblins. Who ran off, fearing the screaming, steel clad, sword wielding dwarf.

We got as lucky as we could have hoped for. This excitement almost makes you forget about the poor dwarf that was struck by a strange mood, but has not gone near any workshops. We have also breached a magma pipe and placed some workshops there, in case those were the ones he needed, but after building them he still has not budged. We fear for his sanity.

A few camels, but thats all there have been to kill so far, the goblins have yet to make a raid and kobolds have only come during a caravan, the caravan guards were then sent after them. With the exception of our surprise scorpion our worst enemy has been a drawbridge.

... He made a barrel. A barrel! It shows some dwarf settling in to the fort, noone really knows who it is. Another image on the barrel shows another unknown dwarf. I don't recognize either of them,but then again I haven't met half the dwarves living here. After he was done he went right back to bed.

Military training has begun, many do not have their weapon of choice, but they are all getting ready to fight unarmed should the need arise.

You would be surprised Yougiedeggs. They say the more you hope for dwarven death, the more Armok thinks you don't deserve it. Don't end up like me and Neo! Theres no going back from...DUNDUNDUNNNNN!

Dwarf Immortality Syndrome!

Indeed, be careful of DIS. http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=27060.0 You can be alive, but still wish for death.

5th of Galena, Year 10, Hamlet Waspurn;

Today, two dwarves died in a horrible drawbridge accident. A drawbridge crushed Fireheart and Dastot as it raised. Our security measures seem to be working against us. The worst part is that we don't even have the bodies to give a proper tomb to. Despite this, we will dedicate tombs to them as soon as we can.

For those interested the artifact created by Inaluct was a grate.
