Well, we survived! That's good. Will we continue to survive? Good question.

Murdermachines survives in all of us and will continue to do so. Its inhabitants, however...

Now, Who is brave enough to take the steering wheel to this great fortress?

This shall be my last update and then the wheel turns to the next guy. I may have to make this a bit long.

I have concluded that whatever possessed Lurker is an absolute moron. I mean, a nickle HIGH BOOT. Not boots. BOOT. I'm going to use that boot to kick his ass.

As you can tell by the date, its winter right now. All the dead trees just kinda adds to the monstrosity that is Murdermachines.

I had forgotten that there were merchants around. Crap. Oh well. I dont think we need anything important.

There is a giant grasshopper running around scaring people. Better take it out before it rends somebody apart.

Well this is odd-
Oh no.

She just died from blood loss. Baru keeps killing, even from beyond the grave. I should have the area closed off.

Aaaaand Murderous ghost.

Nothing interesting is going on this month.

More useless crap. Hooray.

19th of Obsidian, 271
Voidspawn siege! Time for battle!

25th of Obsidian, 271
We lost nearly the entire Fortress Guard, and a couple more have been bitten. This is bad.

Today marks the first day of Spring. Its been a year since I have been overseer to this god forsaken fort. I must say, this place has been fairly kind to me. To others, well... Yeah. Its only been a year, but I'm going to retire. I suppose the fort needs SOMEONE to lead it, but my old bones need a rest. I'll let someone else take the wheel to this train to hell.

And with that, my turn ends. To whoever oversee's next, you should watch out for infected people, and get Shaggard memorialized. All in all, it was a good first time playing a succession fort! I shall get the save ready to download.

Be nice. Our medical care is spot-on; you couldn't ask for a better doctor than The Mad Fool. Dude is so good he performed an emergency nephrectomy with his teeth.

Actually, The Mad Fool is in the Military. I dont even know who helped out Chaosmaker, but it wasnt TMF.

I was reading the Tropes page when suddenly I got a nosebleed. Darn it Terry.

What the fuck. Is some random undorfed recruit now our new Darkwing? Hell, even Darkwing just managed to kill two clowns before he went down. It's beyond me that a frigging recruit in the Official Voidspawn Feeding Detachment managed a triple kill on Forgotten Armokhumping Beasts.

I'm also going to sig that.

Forgotten beast of the port bow!
Flies are apparently popular in the beast world. It would have blundered right over the first cavern's wall if it hadn't set its eyes on a Voidspawn I had dropped in earlier this year. Fortunately, the voidspawn is an apparent coward, so it is running while the beast chucks blobs of spit at him. This has given us time to move in. Time to slay the beast.

Or not. Sodor has given up chase and instead chose to hang with Baru and Lanami. Baru is currently running after the voidspawn.

What I want to know is why are the forgotten beasts are attracted to that coffin?

23rd of limestone
MAFOL YOU-
Fool??
This is no recruit.
This is a true dwarf!
This is a perfect opportunity to take out the beasts. As we speak, Mafol has gone after Baru. I fear for his life. I must make haste.

26th of Limestone
Mafol has slain all 3 of the Forgotten beasts!
This is truly a momentous occasion. We have finally gotten rid of those pests. The other dwarves carried the weary Mafol away, cheering his name. I suppose I shall join the celebration. Can't hurt to have some enjoyment around here.

I was reading through this thread for so long that I think I gave up on being able to finish it somewhere around the time CaptainMcClellan showed up and all the text became impossible to read.

But I'm amazed this fort is still going. When I first stumbled across Deathgate and read through it, I figured its successor was already done too and that a third Deathgate was starting somewhere. Instead... I see that Murdermachines still lives, in some fashion or form.

No idea what's going on though. But it was a fun read for the most part! Tons of fun. This lady will likely be staying out of it though.

Yep. It amazes us on a daily basis that this fort is still living.

And are you sure we can't tempt you with a turn? It really is a fun fortress to run. I never had so much ability to build undisturbed. ( Then again, I had a pact with the resident chaos deity that spared me most of the problems that befall the place. That's what most of the illegible text was about. )

Murdermachines is a stubborn old goat on steroids indeed.

(Short update today, sorry)

We have some of our brethren returning from the void today.
I suppose its good for them to be brought back. Meh.

7th of Limestone, 271
Fucking nobles. I swear, they'll lock anyone up for anything.

Holy Armok. I was walking down the hall when I stumbled upon Talonis and her child, Ustuth. We exchanged words for a bit, then she went her way. As she left, her child looked at me. She stared at me with a unsettling grin on her face, her eyes as dark and as cold as The Abyss. I thought with a chill, "Where have I seen those eyes before?".

Then, Terry came up from behind me and said calmly, "That is my daughter. The reincarnation of the one you slew. The late AnimaRytak.". I couldn't suppress a gasp when he said that. Then, he said "Don't act so surprised. You knew he would return one day. Perhaps not as a infant, but nevertheless. I should think he will want to reclaim his position here in this Vortex of Death. So, 'Godslayer', Be ready to slay again." He walked away, leaving me to wonder how he knew all this.
So Anima is back. If she should want a rematch, I will give her one. Obviously, she will need to grow up first.
