26th of Granite, Early Spring: A bandit siege has come and gone. Though the invaders did not seek out the cave dwarves, they eventually fought when them on sight. The cave dwarf guard Urvad Bookcalmed, who had previously shown the hostility of the cave dwarf guards by killing the blacksmith, earned a bit of of redemption through a heroic and dwarven death, as she singlehandedly killed a squad of bandits (including an elite marksdwarf) before falling into a pool of water and drowning. The remains of the second bandit squad fled after one of their wrestlers was beaten to death by a group of cave dwarf civilians led by the dutchess.

1st of Hematite, Early Summer: A large wave of migrants arrives, including two Traders who might have been the previous caravan merchants. We are now 28. A number of them have been assigned to mining for an eventual pick militia. Strangely, the cave dwarf guards have not attacked since the speardwarf killed the blacksmith (maybe due to the blacksmith being one of the first seven?). Unlike the Visitor, however, they do not seem to have the regular dwarven ability to avoid traps. After one of the cave civilians died on a weapon trap, cage traps were set up to catch the cave dwarves wandering in. A dormitory complex is being constructed to release them into, which should be a substantial improvement over the cave they were previously dwelling in.

About the Visitor, he has not been content to terrorize the fortress during his life and has returned as a ghost to cause more misery. I am currently undecided whether to give him a shoddy slab or none at all.

You're working in great DF tradition here, using the allegiance bugs to create a unique story. Have you considered moving the thread to Community Games & Stories?

That might be a good idea. How do I do that?

There should be "MOVE TOPIC" and "LOCK TOPIC" tabs to click at the bottom left corner of this thread when you view it (possibly only on the first page).

16th of Malachite, Mid-Summer: The visitor's troublemaking spree continued, with workers continually disrupted by the dead dwarf's menace.

Eventually his ghost was dealt with by crafting a slab of the lowest quality and placing it next to his bones, still on the spikes that killed him. At long last, Kemus Steamygrowls is gone for good.

In another piece of good news, out chief medical dwarf has had a strange mood, and created an artifact mechanism. It has an image of "The Rocks and The Universe", an appropriately dwarfy tome.

PTW. This is hilarious. Kind of creepy too. Also, that book sounds like an awesome read .

This is rather strange. I just received an email mentioning that ^ posted here, but I don't recall subscribing to this topic and I don't seem to have posted here before.

But I'm not unsubbing because I find this rather interesting too.
