Bay 12 Games Forum

You guys think too small. We were looking for a guy to discretely kill and assume his position and identity. We are alone with the body of the most frightening individual in the fortress.

Posing as thigs guy successfully would involve wearing that dreaded gauntlet of his; If you miss a big metal claw, people will notice. Still, if we are going to wear it, we might as well take his place.

All right, this fort is a hell-hole. It's starting to be literally so. We need to get out. Trying to gave esmar accompany us(or the reverse) would be wise, but to be frank: I'm not leaving brewster here. I say we intimidate the goblin into kidnapping him and get out as fast as we can.

Well, it looks like run, duck roll wins. Alas, we'll smoke another day. Now let's pray nerin knows how to roll.

Werebeasts can eat and drink just the same as any normal dwarf.  Actually, I'm pretty sure they still have to (they get hungry and thirsty in adventure mode anyway).  Main difference is every month they regrow their limbs and become a monster.  Necromancers don't need to eat or drink but I'm pretty sure they are still capable of it (they don't eat or drink in fortress mode but you can still eat and drink in adventure mode, it just doesn't do anything positive for you)

Fair enough. But we'd need to find some way of doing it without a great risk of death.

Edit: Alright fine, we can ally with elves as long as they don't stop us from making charcoal or other necessary products that require wood (or more importantly charcoal).  Also we might want to swap out their wooden weapons for something more effective.

Wooden bows are still pretty effective, we can get some metal arrows from a human settlement. The elves' trained beasts will make for great meatshields, too. And I believe elves are more opposed to cutting down trees then to burning elf-approved wood.

Edit: We'll have plenty of elves and dwarves, but we'll be short on goblins. Now, amusing as it would be to kill a demon leader of a dark fort, we simply aren't up to it. (Unless we raise some manner of necromantic army, but that'd be rather detrimetnal to our diplomatic relations with non-goblins.) We need an easy way of getting more goblins to join our cause. I'd say atleast five breeding pairs if we want to make an impact. Maybe we could resque goblin prisoners from a human town, or take over bandit factions?

Shout that there's a wereboar behind him and to look out.  Run while he's distracted.  Actually let's go get infected by a wereboar.  Then capture a bunch of boogeymen in a cage trap and release them in the fort.  They will fear the night!

I still believe we should make a back entrance into the fort and conquer it with a elf-goblin colloberation effort.

Dang it, this figure is out for our skin. Maybe if we smoke the sock, the flour and the chestnuts, we could create a smoke curtain? (and rush towards the exit while wildly flailing our arms around?)

Edit:
I believe Ironion was right. This guy, this 'Tenebrosus' is the mayor's second. We have made ourselves a threat to the mayor, and he won't stop untill we're dead and memorialized. We could go back to Ironion, beg him on our knees for protection.(But to be frank, I'd rather let this guy have his way with us then stoop that low.)

It's not the greatest disguise but neither was rubbing snot and dried blood on our beard.

Hey! The blood just didn't stick, okay?
