The device has been modified, you say?


Anywho, FUCK, another puzzle box! And our Soul Star is basically a puzzle too! In retrospect we should have shifted earlier and asked Polynomial Decimal about it, but OH WELL.

EDIT: Also, this update broke the char limit on Advanced Navigation Part Three. Part Four, hoooooo!

This gem of a story just updated after a 3-year hiatus, and I am in tears.  The Life and Times of Reginald Goblinstomper, Elephant at Large.  One read through has me convinced that it deserves to never be forgotten.

Reginald Goblinstomper is already (and deservedly) a resident in the Hall of Legends. It's even in the Active section, which is mildly embarrassing given the length of hiatus but I shall spin it as never losing hope.

The grin on my face from seeing this in my list of updated topics defies description. Huzzah!

If we had Al here he could reconstitute the Crab Essence into Cool Crab using the Illborn Exchange, and then maybe we could try and use
I'm pretty sure we tried that with Slog's essence—it didn't work. Doesn't the Illborn Exchange store some sort of shadow when we use it on an Illborn?

We did indeed try it on Slog, and it works.
We put him in the essence—creating a shadow—and then took him out again.

No, we linked him to the Illborn Exchange, converted him to Essence (effectively killing him) and then immediately converted him back. The shadow was more of a reserved slot in the menu of the Illborn Exchange itself.

It may be that without having linked Cool Crab to the IE prior to his Essencification it won't work (we tried it on a random Wisp essence and got nowhere) but maybe having had him in the party will be enough.

The thing with giving the Waifu pendant to Worldmaster is that he lacks the inventory space to hold it. We'd need a way to get him a free slot before he evaporates (presumably a 50% chance each turn, unknown modifiers notwithstanding.)

If we had Al here he could reconstitute the Crab Essence into Cool Crab using the Illborn Exchange, and then maybe we could try and use the Dark Cathedral to merge CC with WM. We don't have the Illborn Exchange here though, so it's a moot point.

We could try and get a Hellyfish up in here, but given the extreme communication difficulties we have I doubt we could do it short of killing one in combat.

We could try shoving Polydectes himself into a LSS, but that would probably kill off his entire quest line and might not even work.

Proxxy herself could try, but there's no real gain there (if she'd even go along with it.)

I guess we could try and fuse Worldmaster's spirit to the Proxxy Coil or some other item in the LSS? Once we're down to random items we may as well try to get a Star Crab Knight anyway.

Take Worldmaster to Polydectes!
+1.

Drink Health Potion before doing anything else, there's a hostile Spirit out there somewhere.


+1 drinking the health potion, that is entirely sensible

I am about to say something that will no doubt shock and appall everyone here.

I don't give a fuck about the loot.

We don't know how long Worldmaster will be with us; freeformschooler as much as said "not long." We are incredibly unlikely to ever have a friendly Spirit of the Collective in our passive party on the very floor Polydectes inhabits. This is the kind of bizarre nonsense that breaks cycles. If it works, it opens up so many possibilities, and if it doesn't it's still probably good for some delicious exposition. We know Oric values exposition highly, he straight up put a price on it.

In all likelihood we can take care of the loot after Worldmaster, even if we have to hunt down some thieving Illborn to do so. This is an opportunity I do not expect to arise again in the course of the game.

Take Worldmaster to Polydectes!

If anybody can give Worldmaster corporeal form, it's the big P.D.

Maybe we can merge him with the crab essence or something.

I forgot my game was even in that list.

In the Forum Games Section, my game of Roll to Die/Revive/so on and such needs to be updated.

My hard drive crashed, and I lost all the game files, so it's officially over now.

Nominated, Eligible, and Voted Upon! The Littlest Cheesemaker has been inducted into the Hall of Legends! *dadurrr!*

Eeeeeeeehehehehe!!!!

Could you change the description, though?  It's not very informative as-is.

"A Dwarf Fortress tale in the style of MSPA, written by evictedSaint, about a young dwarf girl who has recently come of age and is ready to pursue her life-long goal of becoming "The Greatest Cheesemaker Ever"...even if it seems like the whole world is against her.  Join Misty as she ventures off to the mighty fortress of ShieldDawn to ply her trade.  Surely there must be a place for Misty in such a grand hall; after all, who doesn't love having a new cheesemaker migrate to their fortress?

It's an interactive story, where the author draws the story and viewers make suggestions for what comes next. Be sure to check out the fanart!"

Updated!

You're a mean person, Mr. Stalin.

Also, if I can vote then I gotta vote for an oldie, and a... goodie(for certain values of 'goodie' I suppose):
Vanod +1
Doomforests +1

So, how can I vote for Doomforests?
Quote from: Iituem on February 12, 2015, 04:22:11 am
+1 Doomforests.  Soap ex machina!
Quote from: TechnoXan on February 22, 2015, 10:27:14 pm
Soooo, Doomforests is still up for voting right? Because if so, +1 for Doomforests. The greatest beacon to cults, werebeasts, and (oh yes) SOAP the world over.  ;D
Quote from: Chaoseed on March 12, 2015, 09:05:39 pm
I'd like to +1 Doomforests. Honestly, Taupe's first turn alone is well worth the read.

Votes added!

Doomforests has been inducted into the Hall of Legends!

It should be noted that Adventures on Monster Island is no longer finished/abandoned, too.

Adventures on Monster Island is fantastic!

Adventures on Monster Island. One of the greatest dwarf fortress stories, and a great story in general, topped off with awesome artwork. I'm surprised it isn't in the Hall of Legends where it should be.
Quote from: maxcat61 on April 17, 2015, 12:10:06 pm
Yeah, after finally deciding to read Adventure on Monster Island, I realize that it is Conan the Barbarian in Dwarf Fortress. I vote for it to be added to the Hall of Legends.
Quote from: Th4DwArfY1 on April 17, 2015, 01:24:00 pm
I vote for Monster Island too.

Is monster island not on here yet? I vote for that.


Also I put forth a nomination for the first "if bay12 forum was a mountain hall"

I'm not sure if it should be a forum game listing or story listing. Regardless that insanity deserves to be here.

Give me a link, and I will add it to the nominee's list.


Sparkgear 13 has failed to receive the requisite number of votes and has been stricken from the Nominee's list.

The Spire of Armok is in danger of meeting the same fate if it does not receive the requisite number of votes in the next month (or however long it takes me to update.) If you think this thread is worthy of induction into the Hall of Legends, vote now!

Nah, the plan should be that we are aloof and do not speak to him outside of absolute necessity, Then have a heartfelt moment when it turns out that his tears are the only thing that could save a patient, revealing that we always cared about and respected his work.

I think this only works if he wants us to respect him, which in turn means he needs to think we're super cool.

Go do something super cool in front of Pix! Preferably with fire and electricity.
