Pretty much gonna make it up as I go along.

I'm leaning towards one PC for now, and potential new party members as an option depending on what happens.

In the realm of Forlonde, there are places colloquially referred to as dungeons. These places exist in varied locations, in all shapes and sizes, with but a single unifying characteristic: they all contain vast quantities of phat loots and myriad fell beasts which must be slain. Considering the wealth of riches inside these things, the dangers within, and the sheer number of dungeons that exist, one can make quite a lucrative career exploring these dungeons, clearing them of both monsters and money. People who do this are called adventurers, and you are one such adventurer, tasked with delving the fabled Lost Caverns of Annihilation. No one knows what exactly lurks within, but it is said that all who travel to the caverns have perished, never to return. Of course, that could never happen to you. You're simply too awesome for that. And so you have gathered your equipment, and travel towards the dungeon itself, located in the mountains to the north. Or was it on the beach, to the south? The cursed swamp to the west isn't exactly a friendly locale either, could be there. You're fairly certain it's not in the tower to the east, though. That's Boris's winter retreat. You've never been, but it's said that the sunset view from the top is simply spectacular.

But before deciding on a direction, there's one vitally important question that needs answering.

Who the hell are you, exactly?

(OOC: Been lurking on the lower boards here for a few days, decided to try my hand at running an inevitably horrible RTD of my own. No pretty pictures, but I happen to be a Not Entirely Terrible writer, so there's that. Also, I do tend to be a horrible bastard when it comes to GMing, so proceed at your own risk you know you want to)

It's definitely a demon.

Also the relative properties of iron/bronze seem to vary depending on who you ask. I don't know. Just pick one I suppose? They both work well. I know that bronze is heavier, which affects some things and affects other things.

I remember when this was first a thing. I could actually use this in my current fort, as I have access to the magma sea, a huge magma pipe that goes up to z=90, and an aquifer. And am on a horrible undead-filled slaughterfest. Having such a murderpath would vastly simplify the cleaning up of the aboveground menace, and would also serve to keep kobolds out once the zombies are gone.

The question has been asked, though, if we're getting lighting added to the game at the same time we're getting improved vision realism.

It does, also, allow you to leave a trail of bread crumbs. Which is nice.

While sending the militia sounds fun, DON'T DO IT. You will experience something called a Loyalty Cascade, which you do not want.

An "unfortunate accident" is your best bet. I'd build a lever, build a raising drawbridge that smashes the square next to the lever, build walls on all sides that aren't underneath the bridge, go in and assign the lever to the beast in question via the manager profile, and have the lever pulled on repeat. The offending dwarf should be the only one allowed to pull the lever, so he'll rush over and pull it. He will then stand in place and wait to get crushed to death under a drawbridge. Bonus points: if nobody witnesses this act, then he will never be reported as "dead", only "missing" after a week. (build him an engraved slab to prevent ghost.) Nobody will get a bad thought from his death.

This, btw, is how you deal with unwanted nobles also.

Ah. I am apparently bad at remembering. Currently the wiki reflects the belief that only specific tokens are valid for usage in CE_ADD_TOKEN, and I was under the impression that CRAZED was not one of those. Apparently it is.

Of course, that does, indeed, not solve the problem of Enyo being considered hostile to her flock. Forgive me I am foolish
