If the Spires were to create a one-time boss, who doesn't assimilate anyone else, that would be different. Bear in mind that the challenge from the Spire would HAVE to come first, since if the spire were [UNDIGGABLE], you wouldn't be able to get through it at all, not even from below.

To dig through undiggable stuff from below, you need to dig (not construct) an upward ramp below it, which requires a diggable tile of natural stone wall directly beneath the undiggable layer in question. Since there is only empty space directly underneath the bottom of spires, and you can't dig through constructions, and you wouldn't be able to cast obsidian with no head room, you would not be able to dig them from beneath.

The only way you'd be able to access material from the Spires is if you make them diggable, or if you get a rare circumstance to do the channel glitch on them from above. Therefore, making them the ultimate endgame, rather than Hell itself, doesn't make much sense.

@TheClam: The Shades seem to Assimilate through a poison inject attack, so fully armored warriors wouldn't likely be assimilated, the Shades would have to slowly beat them down instead. If they got at the civilian population, though, then your fort would quickly become Shades.

Part 7: In which we conclude our coverage of the humble village of Mastertea
-----

From the Journal of Gnorm:

9th Moonstone, 552



Traded for the last time of this year today. Now that our town is a bit more self-sufficient, I find myself spending less and less at the depot.

27th Moonstone, 552

The mason has been stricken with the same sort of madness as the cook had before she died. I'll prepare a casket for him.



28th Moonstone, 552



Today I looked over the iridium statue that I ordered as a centerpiece for the lobby of our future town hall. I believe that it shall do nicely.

12th Opal, 552

The river has once again frozen over. If last year was any indication, though, it shall be a thawed in a week.



19th Opal, 552

The soldier that died in the fight against the Man-eater has finally been put to rest. I fear that these caverns shall be full of chambers such as this many years from now.



20th Opal, 552

Our leatherworker has given birth to twins: Blade Zealousblue and Elder Tundrachief.

22nd Opal, 552

Our woodcutter has also been blessed with twins: Darling Appletreevole and Lord Brewedsteward.

25th Opal, 552

Our stone crafter has given birth to triplets. She is now a mother of six!



20th Moonstone, 552



I had forgotten that the atlas mentioned spider-centaurs within range. A worker spotted a thief trying to reach our stockpiles.



Fortunately, our men were ready to show it how we handle thieves in Mastertea!

21st Moonstone, 552



My word! not another one!

Supplementary Entry

Good gods! now there are four of them running about!

23rd Obsidian, 552

One thief lies dead. Her companions, all wounded and gone without any stolen goods. Our mad mason has finally died.

24th Obsidian, 552



Huzzah! the great lobby of our town hall is finally finished. Now we may socialize with a roof over our heads.

28th Obsidian, 552

This shall be my last entry for this year. We have had decent progression this year. Our militia is growing, our industry is expanding, and buildings are growing. We have faced and destroyed a mighty foe, and we have shown a new enemy that we will not come quietly. Next year, will will triumph.

Whys the ground all red?

After the great fire, all the remained was red sand.

[Aseaheru]

Oh. That works.

[kopout]

Large apple wood gems? is that a longer name that got cut off or is the game making gems out of apple wood now?

[tahujdt]

I'd like to review this project for DFBT, my podcast. Anything special I should include?

[Gnorm]

Large apple wood gems? is that a longer name that got cut off or is the game making gems out of apple wood now?

These occurred when I ordered wood crafts. Likely a glitch.

[StLeibowitz]

Yeah, somehow halflings have mastered the secrets of polishing wood so much that it becomes gemstone. I noticed that in my playthrough too, which was probably mean of me to drift away from just when I was about to explore the underdark. Heh.

Also, yay Spider-Centaur thieves work! My monstrosities LIVE!

[kopout]

As bugs go I can't say its bad just, very odd.

[StLeibowitz]

We should probably just let it be and call it a feature. It's not like we have an overabundance of "normal" gems, and people make jewelry out of wood anyways. Nobody has suffocated because of it, so it's got that going for it, at least

[Gnorm]

Seeing as I am now finished with my play-session, here is my small modding contribution:

They were originally going to exist and eat halflings, but I decided that, as water insects can easily kill an entire city of halflings, I wouldn't complete them. I figured I might as well make their image into the game.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

It's like some kind of horrible, delayed clown car.

I think that's the point.

Still not as delayed as something I'm adding.  You have to wait 3 months to find out the results.
