. . .On the plus side, artifact pig iron mace.

Should have been silver.

CraftRaptors was visited by a dragon. Our first uininvited guest. Coming after a slew of issues from that export ban violation. Joy. It's winter. We killed the damn beast quick but not before he burned the local tortoise population and set fire to the forest. We took him out without casualties, only to lose two hammerlords to the fires anyway. Oh well.

Dead trees dead trees,
Watcha gonna do?
Dragons burn ev'rything
when they visit you (Sung to the tune of the Cops theme)

Instant FPS death. Plus most of your map covered in goblins both living and dead.

34 Weaponlords vs. thousands of untrained peasants who cried and ran at the first casualties. Possibly not even their own. 

Horrible, horrible dystopia. Everything happened all at once. First, I had my first accidental kill in my medical training trap. Then the dwarf caravan left. With some bracelets the mayor had prohibited the export of. When we have a full justice system with fewer chains than "offenders." Six dead, several more in the hospital. And we got migrants.

This is so much Fun I'm less laughing than staring speechless. And I'm nowhere near finished since I have 80 people left alive.

CraftRaptors is in its third summer. We have one squad of hammerdwarves that are pretty dang high in skill, and a newbie ax squad just starting out. We've even got a working hospital that has seen use from "accidents" given to excess workers I've nicknamed Medical Training Dummies. They burrow on a retracting bridge, the bridge retracts over a three Z drop, and if we're lucky, they get injured before being hauled away to the hospital for treatment.

I love this game.

P.S. All our artwork seems to paint us as nationalistic racist scum who hate humans. If the Gobs and Forgotten Beasts don't pan out, we might just train our military on a human force instead. Given that the world is over 80 years old and the Liaison keeps saying the world is the same as it's always been, we might need to spark up a good war.

Capture mermaids in a pond. Dump lava on pond. Carve the obsidian into a mermaid statue. Sell as a genuine statue of a mermaid with a mermaid corpse inside it?

Nothing too strange has gone on. I'm a Demigod Hearthperson so I found out what was ailing my local area (some kobolds, bandits, a criminal organization in a nearby town, a tower, and a hydra.) So I grabbed a couple bowmen and a swordsman, hefted my halberd, and marched on the kobold camp first. So far I took out 11 of them and have been trying to convert the loot to more useful things. So far, not doing too well at trading, since no one seems to want to work in money for some reason.

Still, my current wish is for a few more waterskins so I can ditch the rivers for a while and just explore further. I'll have to continue raiding the kobolds in the meanwhile, and see how far I need to go to drive them off.
