The magma is pretty far, and it's only a pool, so I'm limited in amount.
DAMN. SO CLOSE TO PERFECT.

Oh, well...

First image that came to mind was a castle built over a lake of magma...

Is that even possible where you are? Make a huge pit around the entrance to your fort and flood it with magma?

A Bloody Mary, to be exact.
Armok's choice of drink.

(Please drink responsibly.)

I'm seriously considering giving my baron a legendary bedroom.
Over the carp-infested river.
His room will have the floor made of clear glass, allowing him to gloat over the deadly fish.
Too bad I haven't got enough glass right now, guess I'll just leave the floor plartly unfinished.
It's not like he'll get close enough for the fish to drag him in...

I once embarked on a region with carp and harpies. The water was red six months out of twelve from the epic duels between the creatures.
Dwarf blood, harpy blood, or carp blood?

Yes?
So it's a blood cocktail?

Let's make some M&M roasts.

How's the food supply going? Since I have the only cook/brewer, I feel obligated to ask.

OK. If there are people who don't know what HFS is, I'll keep it a spoiler too. Just curious of people actually don't know...then again, I'm the kind who can't resist spoilers so I don't know what it's like to avoid them.

How does a leech rip off someone's arm?

Well I know they have no bones, and will often tie themselves in knots to give themselve pulling power as they rasp away chunks of flesh leaving wound like the pic below. They'll even tie themselves around the bones of whale carcases as they pull at the flesh nearby.

I was not aware that my crippling fear of the ocean could get any worse.

Thank you for revealing to me that yes, I could be more terrified of the terrain that covers two-thirds of our planet.

Yay, a wooden castle.

Can't wait for the elves to visit.

Is there really anyone on this forum who doesn't know about adamantine?

That's a partially serious question.

Isn't a sea lamprey a leech or something?

How does a leech rip off someone's arm?

(Damn, no one will beat that record. Two seconds...? Only way you could beat it is if the wagon and dwarves spawned twenty levels above ground and fell to their deaths...)

I didn't know crashing a hill on top of your fort would cause it to smash down more than one level INTO the fort...

You sir, have learned one of your first true lessons about Dwarf Fortress...it's something we've ALL been through, usually ending up with the mayor sitting down to work in his study deep under the earth only to have an elephant land in his lap several seconds later.
It was a while ago. I've learned since then. (Learned it's a good way to kill a fort, at least...)

All I remember is that it landed on the food stockpile, and the refuse stockpile, some dwarves, and the Dungeon Master, whose tomb had just been finished at the time so at least there was place to drag his flattened corpse to.

I've never killed a noble on purpose.

Mostly because my fort's don't last long enough to get nobles.

I did once, however, accidentally kill the Dungeon Master by dropping a ceiling on his head.

He wasn't the only one...it was an accident, I swear. I was bored and decided to collapse hills for fun. I didn't know crashing a hill on top of your fort would cause it to smash down more than one level INTO the fort...
