Virsarvesh (Starfurnace) had almost faced slaughter if not the deeds of brave three.

Namely goblin attacked - from north west and south. After initial spying, I saw two groups - macegoblins on south and crossbow goblins with swordmaster at north. Made calculations and sent three heavy batle groups - sword, hammer and crossbow dwarves, 30 of them in total - to that group north.

The truth is it was just a decoy - the souther group mingled with a group of crossbowgoblins that went through a forest. I haven't seen all those green 'g's on the green background! They rushed to the entrace and only my spearmaster, his two dwarves and two war dogs were guarding it.

Fierce battle ensued and I was on the edge. Just as one speardwarf died and two other were getting tired and wounded, lo and behold, a hail of bolts from north, killing goblins while the other part of dwarven army arrived to deal with greenskins.

Virsarvesh is safe, and I must buy glasses

On the contrary, I've been murdering the trees the elves love so much with reckless abandon, and soon my Pirate cove will look more Piratical. I suppose, once I've gotten a bit built I might buy a pick or two and start getting stone for the bottom levels of taller buildings, right now I've not got anything above 2-3 stories.

Suddenly, goblins

Cipone is the elven word for creepy.
Amala is the eleven word for nature.
And apparently Amanereli is made of two elven words. Amane means silky and reli means rein.
I simply love that DF has given us all the languages! Maybe I should make a message cipherer with those...

Huh... I'm impressed Darkerdark payed that close attention with these names.

Were you not blown away by Ngusnogsted Obngot?

It's in goblin, in case one would seek translation

Jack's after-summer looks and talk made me go O.o

And so comes an end of Melbilonshen, a 25 years old fort in 40d.

From 210 dwarves to 2 in just 30 minutes of the most extreme tantrum bloodspiral I ever saw. Children exploding against walls, supersoldiers on rampage, relatives pucnhing each other to death, random insane dwarves jumping into bottomless chasm. Dining room, all of it - I mean ALL THE TILES - covered in red '2's that are chopped off body parts. Blood and corpses everywhere.

At the time of abandon, there were 2 survivors, well 6 if you include 4 dwarves on verge of death from injuries.

That pair of survivors were: some legendary farmer moping around some remote meeting place, and a crossbowdwarf who missed all the Fun(tm) while holding to his duty in a watchtower. He had no friends and thus was 'quite content' all the time. Hell it went to ecstatic when he took a break to drink after hte massacre.

Rest in pieces, Melbilonshen! You were truly a wonderful fort, and I shall remember thee fondly.

It's okay, Terraria allows for same sex marriage.

Marry me then

Question, where did all of the comic requests go? It was fun to see what comes out of a seemingly ridiculous situation.

Answer: No one's requesting them, except occasionally. Why don't you request a comic? I or someone else could try drawing it.

Ooh, ooh, can you draw a dwarf in civilian clothes slitting an unconscious dragon's neck with a bismuth bronze scythe copper ladle?

Fix'd for more dwarfy
