"...That didn't work..."
Head to whatever looks like a town hall after listening to everything Falvich knows about the town.

With my luck, I'll end up in a brothel...

((I am going to note that from what Fniff has been saying, this is more of a lovecraftian universe, so talking in terms of christian centric or other standard mythologies are probably going to be incorrect).

If there is some being faking being the Judeo-Christian God who could kill any one of us in a fight, we'll still have something.
After all, the difference between a religion and a cult is popularity. Well, the biggest and most certain difference at least...

All the vessels I've been in have died fast because of idiots that charged and killed everything in sight then got a (#1) giant crossbow bolt to the face (#2)  got explosion stuffed inside them (#3) hammer to groin. So does anyone know more about what happens if the host has a child

You failed Mortal Biology 101, didn't you? It's not going to be an issue here.

Anyway, I suggest we try living our host's life normally for z little while and figure out what resources he has access to.

Ah, yes, the Americans. The original ones. If only I'd found the bandwagon in time...

"Hello, there. Been here long?"

Ninja'd.
Try to ask around for somewhere I can work to earn enough for room and board. Try to learn as much as I can about the town from Falvich while jot disrupting his attempts to woo girls on the way.

((Just watch, I'll roll a 1 and ruin his attempts! Somehow!)

Ah.

knutor, have you tried building walls to form a path to the depot, putting one-tile "holes" in the walls, and putting traps in the holes?

Just lost my fortress world I've been playing since release because of an uprising within the fortress itself.

Once my fortress entered the advanced technological era, all of my crafters began work on a secret project. I couldn't see what it was, only that one of my miners dug out a huge area with a candy drill and had no supports. The opening spanned over fifteen z-levels.

Soon afterward, my researchers discovered that slade had strange properties. The crafter guild's leader immediately demanded to have it in extremely large qualities. My miners, having nothing to do, got a lot of it for them, and they accelerated work on their project. They didn't even leave to eat or drink and never slept. I had to establish a conveyer belt to bring the food to them.

Later, the opening got unrevealed, and the metalsmiths unexpectedly canceled their plasma rifle creation to build what appeared to be double doors with the letters "ARMOK" engraved on them. They also established an alarm. I wasn't sure why.

Things continued like this for a while. Technological advancements continued. When I looked at my plasma cell stockpile, it was all gone. Sure enough, I caught the craftsmen bringing it into the opening. I was angered, and didn't know what to think.

Suddenly I got an alert. "The alarm is going off!" and soon after "The silo doors are opening! Clear the area!" and my emergency bunker automatically triggered itself. My craftsmen stayed outside but at a far distance. Then I got a huge alert about trees being set on fire and looked at the silo.

What I saw baffled me. It was a huge rocket, but not like the normal warheads I have. This one had plasma canisters, modified to burn flesh. This is a biological weapon designed for the destruction of living things but not buildings.

When I checked the AI, I noticed it was set to break into three separate plasma canisters at high enough. Once the main payload hit the city, the plasma canisters would explode and rain acidic plasma on its target. I also saw its target: the humans.

Once it hit, I got two alerts: "The human nation of Bootmyths has declared war!" and, right after, "The human nation of Bootmyths has crumbled to its end." It took me a few seconds to realize that the warhead had wiped out all humans in the nation's capital, therefore destroying the nation.

Afterward, the elves and the rest of the dwarves declared war for crimes against nature, and my fortress was obliterated by an elf/dwarf army. Afterward I checked legends and fast-forwarded some years. The aftermath of the rocket caused clouds of plasma to spread across the atmosphere. Anyone that inhaled them had their bodies torn apart from the inside.

About ten years later, the world was devoid of life. Not a single living creature, sentient or otherwise, remained on the surface. Some cave creatures managed to survive but nothing could adapt. I deleted the region shortly afterward.

Now I warn you. If your craftsmen begin work on a secret project, don't let them.

You should have played as Deep Dwarves. Or maybe a settlement of goblins or dwarves that took shelter in the caverns.


Am I the only guy who doesn't mod his raws much? Seriously, even if yyou disabled tech caps, the elven unwillingness to cut wood throttles tech a bit before the Bronze Age for the most part. No metal tools, no coal, no steam or other power...

I'd imagine the movement would be higher and/or trampling could be done as part of normal movement. I like how it's afraid of the weakest unit in the game...

"And back in MY day, I was worshipped as a goddess. Sacrifices flocked to my temples..."

She sighs wistfully.

Lucky, I tried that scam a few times. First time, someone beat me to 'em, second time these Christians were two years away and killed all my followers, then the third time I wound up having my five cultists burnt at the stake within a week...
