Basically this is a thread where you can give a synopsis of your most impressive last stands against the hordes of darkness.
My one is on Dig Deeper, where my initial seven where seiged by orcs 4 times in a row, with nothing more then a axe and a bone crossbow with bone bolts to defend the fortress.  My miner got mangled, and spent 2 years in bed during many battles, nearly starving and dieing of dehydration during seiges while the water was inaccessible, my herbalist got run down by a group of orcs, before taking out 3 single handed, with no weapons (don't ask me how, cause I have no clue myself). My crossbowman/planter got shot through a fortification by an elite marksorc, and by the second seige all that was left was my woodcutter, another planter, and the mangeled (now only broken) miner. The planter grabbed the last crossbow, took down 35 orcs (so far) and the woodcutter cut a path through about 20.  They both still live, but I can't see it lasting longer, since all caravans have been killed by the orcs and I'm at war with the humans now too.

A place where science has no rule, magic is as common as sand is in a desert, and Heroes are abundant.  Where gods have an all too real sway, and atheists lives are extremely short.  A place where even it's inhabitants are surprised daily of the imagination their creator had when he made the world.  Oh, and the world is supported by 4 elephants on the back of a giant turtle flying through space.

Rules, the nasty things that tend to take up time and get in the way of fun:

Before your lost soul is a deep glowing pit, the wind wishpers in your ear, telling you the last words of millions "Are you sure those mushrooms were edible I feel a bit....."  "Naw it's fine to wear plate mail in a lightning storm" "It's just a scratch...." and the most popular "I don't believe in gods!  Bzzt"  You decide to risk it and jump, it would be hard to say that you fell through different dimensions on the way there, that there was a loud pop or that it was scary... in all truthfulness the fall was short and kinda fun.  From behind you, you can hear " OH DAMN THERE GOES ANOTHER ONE."

Your soul lands in some poor chap's head, it seems as though you are looking through two windows when you are in fact inside his head.... what are you:

SOOO, I've wanted to be in a succession game for awhile now, but due to my not checking enough I've missed every new one for the past month.  We will be using a folder I custom modded to include various things, dig deeper, orc's, two of the own creation (dagger's, basically cultist dwarves real pain in the ass the first year or two, been known to siege just after the first caravan, easy to kill though  Has Improved bows like the elves, so they are killers if they have marksman.  Tcho Tcho, made em for the Cthulu mod.)
What I need from you guys is who wants to go second, how long we should make the turns, where we should embark, names of dwarves ect.

Basic Succession rules, each person gets a dwarf and they have the fort for a set amount of time,   I'm thinking we start somewhere with flux, HFS, underground river, magma pipe (optional, though any good fort needs one), sand (for those damn mooded glass makers) and iron, trees and above ground rivers optional.

Current turn order:
Kilakan:
Rosedrake
Confusticator
HFS, we are screwed if he finds the hidden fun pit.

One night you were all sitting in Jack's (me) basement playing a round of poker when I said, hey guys you know what, I just had the greatest idea, why don't we go rob a convince store?  Being a little drunk we set off and what do you know, the next morning we had actually done it and succeeded.  This got us a little pumped-up and the next night we did it again.  By now we each had made a thousand dollars so I said, hey guys you know that run-down place, in up the street (we are in a city btw), well I went in there awhile ago and they were selling guns, explosives, illegal drugs and lock-pick manuals.  After a few minutes of discussing we set off to buy some stuff with our stolen money, mostly so we could make more money.  That brings us to the sign-up sheet:
