Overseer Log, 25 Felsite 105 SCREW IT
A Blind Orge attacked some random dwarfes. they defeated the Ogre before i could call the Military, but not before it takes Avuz the Carpenter with it.

Another Blind Orge attacks again, this time i call the Wimps to the fight. It took yet another Carpenter with it.

I dug too deep.
TOO deep.
When i was overseeing the Adamantine mine, one of the miners hit a hollow hole. Suddenly, A horrifying scream pierced through my ear, and likely to the other's, too.

Too scared by what i found, i quickly ran up the stairs, go outside, and run to the Mountainhome. Screw this place, it's as good as destroyed.
Yep, guys. i failed. It seems that i don't have time to allocate to play this, and i just entered the HFS, something that apparently is the hardest thing in DF. so, i forfeited. Sorry. Save file coming soon.

EDIT: Oops. apparently, the game crashed during the saving progress(or i just can't wait and force-close), and it now resets this entire update. as in, this post only. Still forfeit, though.

Iamblichos is doing DoomForrest right now. It's PyroTechno's turn then.

[PyroTechno]

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that I'm not going to be able to play.

[maxcat61]

Ok. I am going to pm Chaoseed then.

[xub313]

The list is getting a little short guys, I think I'll take another turn.

Here's the savefile!

[TheKaspa]

This is too much fun, I would like to be dorfed.
Gelder, if possible

[Chaoseed]

Okay, guys! I got the message and I'm here. Fortunately my afternoon is pretty much open, so I can spend some time figuring out what's what.

EDIT: Downloaded the save and loaded it up, so that works. I notice it's 13th of Felsite, Late Spring. I wonder, should I just play until winter, finish the year? Well, I'm probably getting ahead of myself...

[TheCheeseMaker]

Can I have a turn and a dorf.
Keep his original name, but give him the title "The Cheese Maker"

"Hey."

"Myeah?"

"You ever wonder why we're here?"

Rimtar Gidthuramost shrugged. "We're hauling underground monster shit, right?"

"What?" Feb Alathcilob stared. "You mean we're supposed to be hauling--"

"No, not ACTUAL feces, Feb!" Rimtar shook his head. "That's just gross."

"Okay, but, why ARE we here?" Feb looked around. "There are a lot of things that have been bothering me about the fortress lately. First of all, have you noticed how many of the others are changing their names?"

"Half a dozen or so, right?"

"Yeah," Feb said. "Why can't WE change our names too? WE'RE the ones who do all the work and witness all the crap that goes on!"

Rimtar shrugged. "I dunno. I never thought about it."

"Probably because you lack vision!" Feb paused, then he nodded. "That settles it. From now on I am...'CHAOSEED' Alathcilob, Proficient Mason!"

"What? What's a 'chaoseed'?"

"I am a SEED of CREATIVITY!"

"Right, whatever." Rimtar nodded. "Okay, then I'm 'The Kaspa' Gidthuramost."

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"What?" Chaoseed shook his head. "Sure, fine, I won't even ask. But, really, have you noticed anything odd about the fortress? Like how it's totally open for monsters to come in from the second cavern layer."

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Oh yeah, of course," The Kaspa said. "Like how there's that one bar of giant spider fat soap in the stair to the caverns that no one's allowed to touch?"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Yeah," Chaoseed said. "Wait, what?"

"Or how someone threw up in the stairwell next to that big empty two-floor room," The Kaspa continued with a shrug. "Threw up on ALMOST EVERY FLOOR?"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"What?" Chaoseed ran a hand over his braided beard. "That big empty room near the office suspended by a pillar?"

"Right, the Office of Death."

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"What? There's even more wrong with this fort than I figured," Chaoseed said. "I was just thinking about stuff like, the 'moat' that isn't really a moat, yet there's some random wolverine blood in it."

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Oh yeah," The Kaspa said, nodding. "And right outside are all the poignant memorials to wagons."

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"What?"

"Heeeeey!" Both dwarves turned to find a messenger running toward them. The younger dwarf skidded to a halt, panting. "Hey...uh...Feb Alathcilob?" He stared at The Kaspa, who jerked his head toward Chaoseed.

"What?" Chaoseed scowled. "It's Chaoseed Alathcilob now!"

"...whatever," the messenger dwarf said. "Listen, Overseer Terrabalt, Legendary Paper--"

"What? Paper what?"

"--has quit her job to concentrate on raising a family."

"What?"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"And according to the secret laws of succession of Shadowgraves--"

"Which means picking at random from a list," The Kaspa muttered.

"--you, Chaoseed, are the new Overseer of Shadowgraves."

The corpulent dwarf stared.

"...What?"

Myself dwarfed and TheKaspa dwarfed. Terrabalt was already dwarfed, I just felt like providing some explanation for the abbreviated tenure, heh. I haven't really DONE anything yet, but I have some plans. The fortress seems pretty well laid-out! I hope this post wasn't too silly...TheCheeseMaker, I'll get to you!

[xub313]

Everyone keeps making fun of my giant cave spider soap.

A one year old toddler single handedly killed the spider, then I used the soap to block off a terrifying forgotten beast to save the fortress. That's some legendary soap right there.

[maxcat61]

"Yeah," Chaoseed said. "Wait, what?"

"Or how someone threw up in the stairwell next to that big empty two-floor room," The Kaspa continued with a shrug. "Threw up on ALMOST EVERY FLOOR?"

"What?" Chaoseed ran a hand over his braided beard. "That big empty room near the office suspended by a pillar?"

"Right, the Office of Death."

"Oh yeah," The Kaspa said, nodding. "And right outside are all the poignant memorials to wagons."

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"What?"

Everything stated above was my doing. Most importantly, the Charcoal Hammer of Doom (taste Ash). The Hammer of Doom can also be used to kill vampires as they arrive (I put doors around it to keep dust from hurting "civilians".
The stairway was to help with pathing issues, as the previous path was getting too small.
And the memorials are self explanatory. Remember those wagons, and shed a tear, for they were pure, and only hauled goods, before they were killed.


Edit: I remembered that this is not Doomforrest.

[Chaoseed]

"All right," Chaoseed said. "If I'm going to do this overseer thing, I'm going to do it right. Wasn't there an ogre or something? Let's send The Wimps down after it."

"Some glassmaker died before the Mace Lord took care of the ogres," The Kaspa reported.

"That's too bad," Chaoseed said. "But all the more reason to get the caverns sealed off. I want to put some doors before walling them off completely. Do we have any doors?"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Uh, good. All right, we should make Metaltown into an actual mini-settlement."

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"...wait, what's that elk bird doing down there?"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"All right, whatever," Chaoseed said. "Next order of business?"

"Secret mining projects?" The Kaspa said.

"Already started! I'm going to have one of those fancy overseer tomb-rooms." He stroked his beard as he wandered through the fortress. "Now, why do I keep hearing about items being inaccessible?"

"I'm not sure myself," The Kaspa replied.

"Okay, I forbid everyone from picking up ANY of the body parts that are not immediately usable!" He stopped and looked around. "Did that help?"

"Some."

"Damn. Okay." Chaoseed stood in one place, as The Kaspa waited patiently for his thoughts to run their course. "There's all this stone lying around. Don't we have some big rooms we aren't using?"

"You want to have everyone in the fortress hauling stone?"

"No, not really. Damn again." The dwarf's gaze was drawn downward. "Hey, isn't that the giant cave spider soap? From the spider the baby punched to death?"

"That'd be it, yeah. Awesome, right?"

"Sure, but WHY is no one allowed to PICK IT UP???"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"THANK you." Chaoseed looked around. "Well, spring went by fast, but I have a good feeling about this year."

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Armok damn it."

I know my 'character' whines about stuff in the fortress, but it doesn't really bother me. I just felt like poking fun at various aspects of the fort. Really, I like all the "features" you guys added.
