The scorpion king in a performance troupe? I imagine he'll be fun at parties, or at least that his crowd will be too scared to not applaud.

Even with best compression its still over the file size limit. Uploading onto google drive atm. Didn't you get the file size increased previously Bralbaard?

Also chuck me back onto the list please.

I've got the save. If I compress the just extracted file using my own copy of Winrar (RAR format at best compression) it is only 423 mb, so it appears to be very software specific.
I have a possibly decades old freeware copy of winrar that expired long ago, but apparently it still does it's job . Aack scratch that, it does not do it's job, that archive it created was broken.

Anyhow that makes it my turn.

Read through the rules, and am now down for a turn.

Presumably theres still stuff to find, yeah?

There's plenty to do. World seems to stumbling from one crisis to the next, and there are dozens of player forts to explore. You're added to the list.

Why is the business end of the atom smasher accessible in the first place?

Dfhack has the " lair" command to prevent item scatter, we used it a lot in the previous games. Not sure if it works from adventure mode.

I remember we had item scatter on the very first turn as well, but after that it was gone for a long time.

The saga of Jas and his family are exciting for me to read I'm always impressed by how much you can get done especially with how much time passes inbetween turns.

Addendum to my turn:
I had to replay the cloning of Bralbaard and it went all the same except for the fact that Arthur cut off his left hand
so now I have Bralbaard's (right hand) left hand

So Arthur's museum submission is the cave dragon
Maloy's is the following
Bralbaard's tooth
Bralbaard's mangled head
His Right hand's left hand
as well as the brain and heart of the charcoal brute Pis who was speaking through the ear all along
Mortality is also stored in the same bag with them, but obviously it's not mine to submit

You have a favourite from those submissions?  I'd like to keep it to one submission if possible to not confuse things too far.
Also I see I'm missing my other hand now, at this rate I'll never be a spell caster. 

SAVE: Okay so I'm having the same problem the last two players did where I'm not properly compressing the save down to where it fits on dfiledepot. What do I do besides just the regular compressing of the file?

Last time that happened there was a setting that needed to be clicked in the archiving software to use more advanced compression, but that is likely software specific?
You could check if your archiving software has that. If not, upload elsewhere.

@ Kesperan, I think you would need his head, and a headless corpse would do nothing but it needs to be checked. You could have an endless number of headless corpses then, instead of the other way around. On the other hand, there are now two Bralbaard heads in play, for more you need altar healing.

It still reads as Bralbaard's hand name wise which is funny and makes sense, but it is the full body restored with intelligence! Technically this would either be a clone of Bralbaard or a reincarnation depending on how you perceive it

I committed three profane acts
1. I embarked on someone else's site
2. I took someone else's character and used them
3. I used dfhack commands

If what I have done is unacceptable to you all I want you to know this: I have a copy of this save that takes place BEFORE the ritual and so if everyone hates what I did(I hope you don't) we are not stuck with this timeline. The copy takes place before the ritual and before I embarked on top of herograves and so it's still safely an adventurer camp only

I left the ending of the ritual open ended, because IT'S NOT MY CHARACTER. If we do stick with this version of the story I've done then this will probably end me playing Maloy for the forseeable future. He has what he wants and the other posts will detail what he has achieved and why he doesn't have a motive anymore.

It is fine with me, the result is the same as what would have been the outcome of my own turn (if succesful), though arrived at through different methods. I have further plans with Bralbaard though, and I can definitely work with what the current outcome is.

For the record, my plans were:
-Play the hand, taking everything very carefully because its vulnerable, and attacked on sight by nearly everything. 
-A detached hand can still roll dice, this would be my ticket out of my unfortunate condition.
-Rolling dice and waiting inbetween should have, at some point, resulted in full healing, alternatively I could have gambled and roled dice for a were curse, which might have cured me (but I think werecreatures might only be formed from a body that has a head?).

So the situation is the same, in the end. Good to know my head is somewhere as well. I wonder where my body is.
Look forward to the rest of your story.  Good you left the outcome open, it will play a role in my adventure.
