Oh nice... I just realized the huge advantage to having an artifact front door - if I'm not mistaken artifact doors are the exception to building destroyers!  Not only a beautiful way to attract migrants - but a relatively safe way of getting them inside!

Yes... so long as monarch butterflies stay far away from it...

They can ruin even the proudest of fortress.  Tiny, pretty little traitors.

[Silverlock]

Spish, that was several different sorts of awesome!  I must perforce ask to be added to the turn list.  If we are still surviving 30-something turns from now, I'm sure I can fix that.

And I'm happy to be contributing to the well-being of Horrorfailed.  As cook.  Yessiree, cooks are vital to the morale of a fortress; we certainly wouldn't want to risk a valuable cook in military action.  Nope.  Gotta keep the cook nice and safe in the . . . cook place.  Kitchen, maybe?  Cookery?  Food factory?  Something like that.

Turns out kobold women react EVEN WORSE than human women when some wacko jumps them in his birthday suit.

I can attest to the reaction of human women. How do you know that?

Sadly, I'm not exactly brave enough to try that... But I'm pretty sure they wouldn't whip out a +iron short sword+ and lodge it in your chest.

You'd be surprised. I know girls who are in fencing.

Can't be destroyed, but they can still be knocked down (or so I hear). So not really a foolproof way to keep things out.

I just realized, that golden door is going to be the first thing migrants are going to see of the fortress proper, right?

Well, that, and the hallway filled with blood, guts, and mutilated bodyparts leading up to it.

[Teneb]

Going to request a redorfing as the first migrant to get in alive.

EDIT:

Good thing too, it would be shameful not to have an entrance paved of bones and covered in gore.

True; my cousin would certainly kick anyone's ass for it... But I still doubt any healthy person would just up and stab someone immediately. Certainly not as readily as those kobolds took to perforating Gizogin...

[ThatAussieGuy]

Mego didn't just make a fancy gold door, he made a recursive gold door.  It has an image of itself upon it.

[Eric Blank]

Would that symbolize the recurrence of death in the surrounding environ?

[SpaceKGreen]

Having read through the entire Battlefailed series, I must say I've thoroughly enjoyed the general insanity and dwarven reality-breaking.  Definitely going to continue reading; judging from the last few stories and some of the upcoming overseers, this story should surely have some great !!fun!! in the future.

Also, if I may, can I request a dorfing?  Space* - Weaponsmith - "Makes tha weapons" - preferably a dorf who's made it inside mostly intact and not covered in syndrome.

*Name confusion!  Might be entertaining...

...it would be shameful not to have an entrance paved of bones and covered in gore.

Having read through the previous thread earlier, wasn't this world and fortress genned with the "bone block" reaction?

[Gizogin]

I've been immortalized on a gold door, eh?  This is good.  This is very good.

A running gag of "That guy named Space with the hammer-no, not the hammer that forges weapons, the hammer hammer--oh forget it, that Space just got torn up by that forgotten beast corpse," would be pretty funny.

Or we could have this "Thing One" and "Thing Two" gag going. Space One and Space Two, brothers from other mothers with hammers that deal whammers!

Although I could always be named SpaceCat.

Having read through the previous thread earlier, wasn't this world and fortress genned with the "bone block" reaction?

Failcannon's raws were modified to add in that reaction, but when I modified the raws for Hellcannon, apparently I did something wrong, because it didn't work. Same with the reaction that was supposed to turn blood into blood bricks. I don't know if those modifications were made in this world.

We could either look at the RAWs or Spish could make a Kiln (or is it a Klin, I never get it right). Either works.

[ThatAussieGuy]

Kiln.

"Space just died"

"The hammer one, or the the other one"

"The hammer one"

"Well then send in the other one!"
