The art in this is really, really good. It's pretty weird that it hasn'tgot that much attention. Or just a whole bunch of lurkers, I guess... one gets that a lot on the upper boards .

Thank you.

Y'know, that troubles me a bit. I do push aside important business for this time-consuming story, yet no-one's even telling me it's shit. There are barely enough comments to continue, though. if only there was a bit more backfeed concerning the demand...

Generally, I'd stop by now, for my report's getting in the way.

Do we have any reason to demand extra? We are immortal, with no need to eat or sleep, no known experience or skills, and questionable loyalties.

Eh, really? Unfortunately, you're not from a dwarven dime novel.

Goblins usually don't need much to survive, and are somewhat good at withstanding cold and lack of nutriment or drinks, yet... Not that good.

Haggle a bit; ask for 45 coppers. We do have a cheerful and trendy appearance, after all, which is useful when selling.

You ask the butcher for some additional coppers since your charisma levels are outstanding.

"Huh, can't pay you more than forty-two. If you're okay with that, come to my shop tomorrow at 8am. Now, if you'll excuse me... Have a nice evening".



You must have made a good impression.

What's now?

The banshee's screams should be a non-issue now that we have 60 dwarves. They'll definitely cripple us, but good management should prevent the fortress from stalling completely.

I think Mon said that they ( it occurs to me that I'm not actually sure of Monitor Lisard's gender) closed the gates and the fisherdwarf was just lingering in an outer tunnel or something. The Spawn might have just been heading into the tunnel to pick him off, Armok willing.

Concerning the tunnel, it was sealed by Flame with a solid stone wall, but the invaders keep lurking inside, far from the reach zone of the Greater Spawn (who do not care even).

Well, at least someone's reversing the trend of everyone getting killed.

How quickly the tide turns

The hotel probably has a dress code, which we are quite unable to heed, so let's check out the butcher's shop.

Butcher shop it is!

...It took you quite some time to figure out where the butcher's shop. Market was completely empty at that time, but eventually you saw the signbord. You approached the door and knocked on it.



The butcher seemed somewhat displeased with having to deal with a late visitor. Anyway, he let you in.



"Aright, so you want that job... What do we got here? You're selling the meat, I'm paying you 80 francs in weekly wages, or 40 coppers if you want it like that. Deal?".

IIRC 34.11 had a bug where injured dwarves would stop creating Recover Wounded jobs after a bit if they were interrupted a bunch, or something (I'm only like 50% sure about this).

He is recovered, though. As mentioned earlier, Lis had managed to snatch the wounded guy right under from mutant's nose. Poor dude's stuck in the bed, and nobody's willing to diagnose him.

You could always engineer some way to re-injure him.

You know what? We only got 5 migrants, alright? That fisherworker... He's dead. He's so fucking dead. They're so wiping him out of existence with a single fucking precise swipe of they huge fucking claws.

I'm ordering everyone inside.


He is not coming. A cloud of red mist consumed him entirely. We're screwed, lads.


We're not done yet, though. If we seal the gates properly-


Mastercrasher? What is His Majesty's nephew- SOMEBODY GET HIM BACK!


CRASHER! YOU PIECE O'CRAP! AS AN OVERSEER, I AM FUCKING CONSCRIPTING INTO THE MILITIA AND ORDERING YOU BACK INTO THE FORTRESS! I SWEAR, I'M EXAMINING YER BACKSIDE-

(OOC: fucks given by on break dwarves about burrows: 0)


Alright, he's back! But the mutant dude...


Guess what saved us from debacle! An alpaca! Thank Armok for creating them.


Shit, he's armed! And he didn't forget how to shoot things... Gotta be extra careful.


Out-fucking-standing, Thikud. Just the time for that piece of yours. We'll check it out later, alright?

Argh, why the fuck? Why is there a miner in that corridor? I told them to get back in, not to-


You know what, I don't care anymore. I'm bringing him back even if it will be the end of me. I am a fucking doctor. I help dwarves... COVER ME! I'M GOING IN!


Alright... I pulled it. Don't know, how. That mountain of muscles must be scared of the alpaca. Now we have to seal the passage as close to the surface as possible. I hope that fisher dude won't be much of a trouble anymore.

I wish I heard of this earlier.
