I don't want to alarm you Braalbard, but you have no beard.

Actually, you have alarmed me.
I did notice it subconciously when reading that text, and my brain went "no it's fine, he has a beard, they just don't mention it because every dwarf has one" so I never picked up on it, but you might be right. I blame the worm for the missing beard, would never shave it myself, of course. 

I think I might stick with the inability to read. it seems a fair trade for immortality. (the missing beard is not, of course)

[AvolitionBrit]

His jaw be as bald as the worm that birthed him

I have updated the map with:
-Scorpiontower the lost vault of Books (AvolitionBrit)
-The Charcoal Pit (constructed centuries ago by Nogoodnames, quite interesting for an adventure mode site)
-Eldergraves (build by me, decades ago. Not much of a site, but plays a role in stories)

I also have a museum submission, found it somewhere on my adventure; the figurine seems to imply that the secret of life may have been known before and that it was lost early in the age of adventurers:

How fitting!

Good luck on your turn, Eric!

[AvolitionBrit]

Seems holyblood has gathered an army of serpent men, a giant rat and a troll during your turn. Very interesting.

I am guessing that you made a fort the same size as the entire map tile that included Glazedriven and /revealed all the contents to find the slab? It turns out after I experimented on this exact same technique that you only need to uncover the small zone on the right of the map tile where the tower stands to uncover the slab. I was going to build a fort underneath there including the forest to the south on my turn, but you beat me to it!

In any case, when you go near to the site of the tower in adventure mode, there are now huge numbers of asterisks all around it, and when you encounter them it is cavern creatures. Somehow every creature that was on that entire map tile has been scattered around, which might include the serpent men? Either way, the sheer size of the fort means it will be very difficult to actually explore what you have built there due to the lag, but I am sure Moldath is up for the challenge!

[AvolitionBrit]

I had/have grander plans for the site but just didn't allocate enough time for it.

The serpent men were not there before and i thought they might of been the ones i revived as intelligent undead

[Eric Blank]

It has begun.

[Maloy]

wow wow wow I had a lot of reading to catch up on lol

Thanks for clearing some of the area around Incenseorder Kesperan. I'm not sure if I missed certain thralls or they just moved into the area to fill in gaps from deaths.

Also on my turn the government leaders in Clenchportent weren't thralls so that is a new development! I spared them because of that



Wild turn of event's for bralbaard! An actual literal reincarnation!
So question. If your appearance is that out an outsider, no beard, are you not part of the Walled Dye now? I'm just wondering if it is now impossible for you to become king AGAIN

[Bralbaard]

I think I have not joined a civ yet, but his new stats show that he is ambitious and dreams of attaining rank in society...
I have not decided on the path Bralbaard the Beardless will take.

[kesperan]

Right, we clearly need our top minds working out how to mod in beards for outsider dwarves. I’ve checked and confirmed Moldath also has a bald chin. Unacceptable.

[Eric Blank]

Well, my adventure didn't last long.

The Second Journey of Suril Copperscarred "the Bloated"
By Suril Copperscarred "the Bloated," 951

In the century since my first journey to document the will and history of my own people, the Hands of Planegifts, I have endeavored to delve deep into the history of the world at large, documenting history that is known to the peoples around Wheatbrands. This led me to make many trips to the hamlets surrounding Wheatbrands. though mostly deserted, many of the surviving residents are goblins and Hands of Planegifts of great age. One of these I encountered recently on the road outside the hamlet of Swimgrotto; Ras Zealflickers. However, he was not as I had last met him only 50 years earlier. Dead, now, and reanimated as a zombie. Not only that, he was infected with the wicked taint of putrid ghoul blight. Ras ignored me, having lost all faculty but the urge to kill the living, until I put him down.

Ive decided to seek scholarly advice on this from the Museum, where other historical records are to be found, and donate my collection of histories and figurines depicting events. This quire will be my journal for the journey. I first visited orbsnarled, and gifted to the lord there, Led, a figurine each of him and his late wife Iden. Then I visited Enjoydinners, where I came upon a horrible massacre in the keep, again perpetrated by blighted thralls. I slew several of them there, but other goblins attacked me as well. More blighted thralls awaited me at Filledfastened, but they were easy to put down. Hslf s dozen more were present in the keep at Snarlstrayed. The infectiond spread through all of the hearthpersons, a black bear, and the monsters were chasing down the lord.

The grasslands of the Quick Steppes are home to hundreds of stray Hands of Planegifts. As I tried to cross the goblin lands I was accosted by dozens of patrols and was forced to turn south across the mountains. I encountered another goblin patrol, sleeping in the deserts on the edge of the Couple=s (the smeared ink trails off)

[Bralbaard]

That is unfortunate

hmmm

[Maloy]

You're essentially gnomes at this point!


That's terribly unfortunate. Blight really is out of hand isn't it?
Guess I'm glad Maloy became a necromancer for the sake of the ritual, but I'm worried about my next turn with Arthur and Mirailei

[Eric Blank]

Thankfully it wasn't the blight, it was a demon expedition leader. The sauropod one I think. Breathed fire. Beat it over the head multiple times, but lost a leg immediately and then an arm, and then my spine...
