Will my reindeer cavalry make an appearance? And the mad doctor Sprin with his bone saws?

Noted. I've actually never tried to draw reindeer, so that'd take a wee bit longer... but I like the extra !!CHALLENGE!!!

Dammit, someone teach me how to draw like Talonis!  :(

YouTube Mark Crilley, he's a notable influence. Try to do a practice doodle once a day, I tend to do it while eating lunch or when I've nothing else that needs to be done but laundry.

You don't understand. I lack natural talent. I have none at all. Even my handwriting is bad. :/

 I can't do cursive at all! and my print looks like another language most of the time... the first time I tried to draw a stickfigure, it ended up looking like a really messed up tree.

  My point? Natural talent only goes so far, and doesn't mean anything if one doesn't hone it. Natural talent only makes things easier.

So, I was brainstorming a bit for teh lol mod and I was thing of adding weapons and bolts that make the creature it killed's corpse unressurectable or maybe a syndrome that comes with some dwarfs like tortured by armok or something similar. Well, that is if I get around to learning how to mod. Mostly just putting ideas out there.

Poor Wasara. This fort really doesn't seem to like you too much. All the more reason to continue to help beat it into submission.

Would reactions work? I'm not very well versed in them but I do think they exist in DF that could cause it to work. Dammit, we need Talvieno!

Wow, that's a great idea. Hope someone does it. To maximise it, you should post it in the mod's thread and see what is created!

I think there's some code in masterwork df I can examine for both ideas but I'm kinda stumped on what to make tortured by armok actually do. You guys have any ideas?

I'll try and get these ideas on the teh lol mod's page, however most of my activity on These forums is on my phone, so it's an utter pain to do things on such a tiny screen. I have this page bookmarked to it's much easier to get to then trying to tap a bunch of tiny links.

Felt guilty about inadvertantly insulting Highmax's face twice now, so here is my apology:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

  I used a digital filter in an attempt to make it look more like stone, something I haven't tried before... so, how is it?

This a masterwork engraving of Necrothreat by Taloniswolf in 2014. On it bears the image of Highmax the Swordsman in graphite. Highmax is standing proud. On it is an image of Apiks the Father in graphite. Apiks is readying for battle. On it bears the image of Th3DwArfY1 the Slave of Armok in graphite. Th3DwArfY1 is acting as dwarves normally would in battle.

Esxcellent... No words. I do agree on the point on the blade though, it'd be tough to stab Ur with it that way, as brutal as it would be :P

Just make sure he wears a boot.

...

Armok is the God of Blood, so perhaps a 'death by a thousand cuts' sort of deal?

  Fair point. It is a work in progress, I just post my progress every once and a while so that I can hear from you guys and fix any issues as I go. So now I know to fix that... anything else while you are at it? Other than 'unhinged rage jaw', which is merely Dwarven evolution.  :P

This does not reflect the actual end, but it's just something I wrote, so dammit I will post it!

The Last Stand

The heroes Three were caught betwixt
The fire and demon’s ire
Alone they stood against the foe,
Their fighting quick, they did not tire.

About them strewn was Father Fort,
The place they loved was Necrothreat-
Ay, you have heard the tales, I’m sure,
Of Necrothreat where heroes dwelt.

The ruins of once a mighty fort
Are still a lovely sight-
There rose a carven statue’s face,
There gleamed an Eldritch light.

Th4DwArfY1 has drowned the world
In molten rock and flame,
And Sprin, the doctor of that place,
Began the demon’s reign.

But yet we see a flashing spear,
A pick is raised on high,
A sword is seen to rent the air
And in it gleams the sky.

So fought the Three as all about
Their lives were torn apart-
The Forumites around them die,
Like sick and twisted art.

Th4DwArfY1 was struck and died,
His spear was shed with death;
His shield he dropped, his life he lost,
He left behind all earthly wealth.

Now Highmax roared to see such sights,
His sword was liquid hate-
A shout he loosed upon the foe
As he embraced his fate.

He dashed beyond the demon’s lines,
He dodged the flaming lake,
He struck the leader in the mouth
And thus is what he spake:

 “My soul will scour the underworld,
My blade will haunt your dreams,
Your children spawn I’ll brand with hate,
My anger borne on wings.
   Kill me now
      Kill me now
      I’ll have my vengeance
         In my death.”

And so Highmax was laid down low,
And drew his final breath,
His sword was left upon the stone
To mark his tomb and place of death.

Now Apiks, Elder born and bred,
Held up his brilliant pick.
It glowed with light, was bright with white,
His strokes were fierce and quick.

But all were dead; he was alone,
And so he fled his home.
Behind him roiled the clouds of smoke,
He fell to sleepless roam.

Away he went through dark and night,
His soul was on the breeze.
He came upon a newer start
Away from magma seas.
There made again was Necrothreat,
With Apiks at the head.
He knew the past that he had lived,
Recalled the friends who’d bled.

But Necrothreat arises yet,
From ashes does it soar,
No god can burn it from the world,
We live to fight another war.

Oh, and credit to Highmax and Sprin for giving me the general idea.

 Yes, but the general consensus is the poem is now the canon ending. Cause it is that awesome, especially if you do it to the tune of 'Over The Misty Mountain Cold" form 'The Hobbit'.
