I like stetsons. Stetsons are cool.

[Corai]

I'm afraid that there is a hat monopoly on these forums.

Canihazhat?

[KodKod]

Nein! There will be no hats for anyone!

Das ist verboten!

Where's my fez?

[Corai]

I made booze, anyone want some?





It wont poison you, I promise!

Fezzes are cool. One time, I made my own fez out of red felt and wore it to school. Coincidentally, I also had a map of Florida and some jammy-dodgers.

We need to invent Mountain Dew if im gonna stay sane.


Nothings cuter then a insane kobold, but still.

Orky_Boss Hacks the head of Corai The Kobold, and the severed limb sails in an ark!

"What? It's not like we can invent a drink on the spot... how would we even make fizzy water that in medieval times? Besides, I need some bones for this idea I have..."

*grabs kobold bones and heads back to the metalsmith forge*

Fizzy water is just carbon dioxide gas suspended in ordinary water.

It happens naturally.

In addition to the natural volcanic method, it could be done artificially the "dwarven way", by building what ammounts to a synthetic aquifer filled with nice clean water, through which a section of pipe conducts the gasses from another chamber in which limestone is dropped into magma, and stirred.  Limestone is calcium carbonate, and a large percentage of its mass is chemically bound carbon dioxide gas.

If neither of those methods floats your boat, you can build an atmospheric gas compressor and fractional distillation tower complex as a megaproject. Carbon dioxide will form ice at the bottom of the distillation tower. (How co2 is commercially produced.)

Of the 3, #1 is the most likely, and #2 is plausible. #3 would require exposing the dwarves to stainless steel for the pressure vessel tanks, and vastly improving their smelting and forging technologies.

As for this latter bit about trophy taking?  I delight in memories.  Abusing a victim's body can be entertaining, but the slow, cumulative destruction of a mind? Priceless.

I torture psychologically.  Abuse the "rival method" of training and conditioning. Twist operant conditioning. Make the victim do things unconciously that they despise, to induce self hatred, and bring attention to this fact.  Oh yes.  My methods are slow and terrible, but leave the physical body completely unharmed.

Sentient trophy? What about clearcut elven retreat..... clearcut by elves?

The Fez must die!

[wierd]

This is an exceptional fez made by Talvieno the human of The Twelveth Bay, in the spring of 2012.
It is made of exceptional ropereed cloth, skillfully dyed red with redroot dye.

On the item is an image of double crescents in pigtail. The image is the symbol for the local dwarven civilization.

On the item is a tassle made of ropereed fiber, skillfully dyed yellow with osage orange heartwood dye.

Ugh. Taking skulls as trophies is so... machismo. What's next, are you planning on turning them into a cup and drinking beer out of them whilst singing rowdy songs?

I'd much rather take finger nails. Whole ones, of course, excruciatingly ripped right out of a living victim's fingers with a pair of pliers.

I would take the skull and put it on a shelf in my quarters, Skulls are where knowledge is kept. In times of dire need, the skulls of my slain enemies will be asked for advice. Before then, though, I'll take the hearts of my enemies and eat them whole, because that's where a warrior's power comes from. Thus, I will have all the knowledge and strength of my slain opponents.

And yes, the heart has to be raw. The power is destroyed if you burn it, even if only a little.

I seem to recall some method of making solid bricks out of bone. If that's true, I'd build myself a house from the powdered and moulded skeletons of my enemies.

Someone made a string of custom reactions to make building material from bone. I'll bet anything built from it would actually look quite intimidating

I had taken to eating raw hearts too, but the skulls for adivce thing is actually a nice touch.... Man I wish dwarves would take trohpies of slain enemies.... Perhaps I must do some ethic modding...

[Talvieno]

Eating hearts? A bit too cannibalistic for my tastes... (animals, maybe; humanoids... not me.) The only time I've really ever taken the head off of anything was a dragon I had to slay in adventure mode. I kept spawning as a dwarf in a human city, going to the lord of the local fortress and asking for a mission... He kept giving me that dragon. Time and time again - and, as you'd expect, time and time again I died. I finally killed it, with a swordsdwarf/marksdwarf cross, and was careful to cut off its head. Then I brought it back to the lord and threw it at his feet... I was new to adventuring, I expected riches and wealth or something. "May he rot forever in the underworld" or some such phrase was all I got... I was a bit frustrated, honestly... I picked the head back up and mauled the lord to death with it. Gave him his precious dragon.

I felt better after that, actually.
