I embarked on one, fed it 7-8 embarks worth of dorfs, 4 of those were warriors. I was well and truly trounced again and again. The necromancer was titled "Bass Necromancer". Now whether he was in a metal band or had a perchance for fish i don't know...

From what I know, it appears only the best necromancers can perform necromancy as a full time job. His apprentices have to do side-jobs to make money. I guess that would make working at McDonalds a bit awkward.

But when some fat american gobshite goes off his nut at you because you ran out of McNuggets you can murder them with a rabble of necro-burgers.

I believe that is a particular slab that gives adventurers necromancy magic.

Essentially yes.  I plan to make a syndrome that turns cows into something a little more exotic.  Same with the good-side grass.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Because it contributes to the evil, it would be a step towards finding patterns, and it shall soon be modded to cause ingested syndromes that will cause issues with cattle.

We also need to locate rains, though it seems that freakish weather is present in all evil biomes.

Eating evil grass = Thralls to the Grass. Moo! MOoooOoOo! MOOOOOOOOOOO

Dragonheart stones will obviously require a magical effect. A passable curse? (Sets foe on fire/freezes/paralyses depending on the type of dragon?) or perhaps an artifact style quality modifier for piercing or for blocking damage. As for all of the others, wouldn't we need to fend the vogons off from their gem crabs? >.>

Sounds old finnish/norse to me...but that's just the impression i get from rolling it around my tongue (And playing skyrim)

I butchered a horse in a sinister area. Next thing I saw was my dwarves being interrupted by crawling horse hair. Hilarity ensued.
It was only mildly annoying, but slightly later the horse skin also went undead and killed everyone.

Anybody else think of The Thing?

Carpenters' thing? or adams familys' thing?

The thing.

This Thing?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's not the original, but yes, that thing

Pardon, but I never saw(ed) the original.

You must see it. The new movie is a clichéd slasher/body horror shitflick. The entire atmosphere is all "oh there's a monster we must run or it will get us!" while the original builds a tension of distrust between the crew members. It's not even comparable.

I will see our recording of the movie; as I've heard they were not comparible, but the whole point of the post was the pun.

Rather accurate, as only heat-based weapons seem to be effective against the Thing. Now if we can only figure out how to get magma throwers and heated wire-blood tests.

Nuke it from orbit.

Right. Because a sponge with HAS_NERVES and can Air-drowned is totally accurate

Nerve's - no, air-drown - YES - they require constant water flowing through their pores to survive. Google them.

I thought they were capable of some degree of dessication, especially those that live on the shore line and are subject to tides. If i'm wrong then i'm wrong.

Yeah, have you never seen the spongebob squarepants movie?

Nope!
