Great horned owl fiendish smoke husk, first victim of the fiendish smoke
The husk attacked a kakapo, but it flew away after the kakapo passed out. This is unlike other zombies which would fight till the opponent dies. The husk eventually left the map on its own, which is much better than zombies who would stay forever.

The Human Bowman Thrura Olijalew was spotted sneaking around! "You will not stand between me and The Carnal Gladness!"
This human visited here before and someone told him about the artifact.
The Carnal Gladness is the bone mace, the first artifact of this fort.
Unlike the previous dwarven thieves who ran away as soon as spotted by the watch dog, he proceeded to descend the stairs. The watch dog didn't fight him either. Thrura entered the main hall, fired a bolt and was killed very quickly by the soldiers who were constantly sparring there, while trying to reload his crossbow. Although he was "hostile" on unit list, the doors he passed through weren't "taken by enemy", and still remained lockable.

Meanwhile, near the entrance, another dog killed a visiting human poet for no apparent reason. Probably it's some faction thing.

A resident dwarven poet was possessed!

The dwarven caravan was just about to leave and the guards beat up Lir while the wagons ran him over...

A visiting hammerdwarf encountered Lòr when he was about to leave the map. The two started fighting and Lòr was killed.

Asmel left the fort empty-handed, after hesitating back and forth between the entrance and the main hall for some days, terrified all the time.

15th timber
Lolathe started a fire in the 3rd cavern.

Urvad the poet suddenly started to fight everyone at the entrance.

The hippo roamed freely among the stone rooms for months and seemed just fine. Hippos were not grazers.

Iteb Desisnish, the kitten, got some blood of Utesh on its paws. The blood knocked it out and it got bruises on its body. Perhaps a necrotic poison. Thanks to the waterfall, this kitten was washed clean very soon.

13th hematite
Quatharirathi Ramethira is missing from its proper place! It's the iron spear that Sluslu the ettin used to carry.

surface garden finished. It's 4x6 pit, 5 levels deep, lined with wall on the top.

installed mamgoz, nonub, agek, ullung, fel, in the tavern

built a 2nd farmer's workshop to keep up with the gelding

making lead animal traps, built kennel, set up trapping task

installed unhooked lever in every guild hall and set them on repeat, in order to have dwarves visit the places more frequently to spot any missing artifact on display

Isa Gugiranu, visiting scholar, composed Trade Maps for Everyone. A dwarf smith entered the room and picked up the scroll to read it. After reading, he would very likely put it in the bookshelves of the resident library, but not return it to Isa...

As expected, Thob the smith brought the scroll to the resident library.

25th malachite
The forgotten beast Spab Stutusnusm Zongosp As has come! A great feathered nematode. It has wings and it is slavering. Its dark taupe feathers are downy. Beware its webs! Finally, a silk farm.

Spab encountered a monster hunter down there. The swordsdwarf gave it a stab and Spab crushed his head. Spab, one wing broken, limping to the planned trap.

As the drawbridges were operating, Lorbam, who was going to fetch a dead cave fish, got flung off and broke his hand when he fell down.

Then on its way up, Spab killed a leaving human pikeman, and then Id Ilralbelal the monster hunter, and then a stray cat, and then Zulban Alathkanzud and her baby Kol Azinmeng. Eventually, Spab was in the trap, contained. Now the plan to set up the silk factory.

6th galena
trees grew up in the tree farm, 3 years after the first saplings appeared.

Building 2x1 niches in guild halls to better protect the displayed artifacts. Once the artifact is put on the pedestal, bars will be installed. However, dwarves probably won't be able to enjoy the exhibition either, as they only admire adjacent objects. Nevertheless, the artifacts still count towards the room value. That's the main point.

Bee garden. A chimney to the surface, to let the bees fly in and out. This should be able to support 9 hives.

No human caravan this summer. Maybe they'd send siege next year.

Sacks of Sinking, a whole performance troupe, petitioned to reside in the fort. Deny.

It's autumn and the dwarven caravan didn't come. Perhaps they got stuck the last year when a fiendish smoke just happened where they entered the map and the first merchant was husked.

The human pikeman that Spab killed came back as a ghost. Aren't only the dwarves able to become ghost in a fortress? Thola rose as a ghost the first thing it did was to haunt a human axeman. Perhaps, as a human ghost, it wouldn't haunt dwarves.

Sizet Uselcasser, Human Axeman cancels Sleep: Horrified.

Thola Soduenil, Ghostly Human Pikeman has been put to rest.

4th moonstone
As punctual as they were, kobolds came, met the watch dog, turned around, and ran away.

Silk farm built. A 5x11 pit was dug to collect the web, but the web didn't fall down, and rather floated in the air.

A season since the animal trappers started catching small live animals. Not a single vermin caught.

Ast Idathkel met with the mayor and requested The Aura of Priests. This artifact mug was safely behind lead bars, protected from any theft.

11th opal
Kogan Sigunuzol, was stressed. The first stressed dwarf.

a very ferocious wild turkey gobbler fought a dog near the entrance, which resulted in one and a half pages of {stray dog tooth} on the ground

14th opal

DF Community Games & Stories
Do you want to start a community/succession game or share a story? You can post here.

Neither a community/succession game, nor a story.

I used to link images hosted on imgur etc, but as recent events have shown, image hosting sites are unreliable. Thus I choose to not take screenshots. Besides, text is searchable. I can easily search name to find events about a particular dwarf, visitor, or item.

Chaos at the entrance to the tunnel that goes down to the caverns. A herd of crundles met the dwarves working on the new trap corridor, joined by a handful of curious cats.
The crundle attacks the miner but She jumps away!
The miner rolls out of the cat's flight path!
...
Vucar Onulestun, Miner: I saw a dwarf tell the story of the defeat of The Cave of Moments of The Hammer of Women and takeover of Lancescaly by The Directions of Hate in the midsummer of 122 at The Honeys of Paging.  It's interesting.
(The Hammer of Women is the other dwarf civilization in the world, while The Directions of Hate is probably a goblin civilization. Interesting indeed, as the mayor, Usbu, is actually a former chieftess of The Directions of Hate.)

caught a "live rat"

Goden Taremsodel, Miner Read Dissection: My Only Mistake

Bilalo Thitiilefi, Elf Hammer, beat crundles with birchen shield in left hand, and plum wood shield in right hand.

The dwarves of The Flag of Copper are now quite knowledgeable crundle trainers.

The intake of the waterfall drowned two wild turkeys.

Lolor Rithvutram had become a hammerdwarf but he was still stressed.

webbed trap corridor finished

12th hematite 124
A human caravan from Behal Usmik has arrived. Their wagon scuttled at a ramp near the entrance. The problem might be the skeletons of an elf merchant and a human thief. Ordered dwarves to dump all loose things on the ground near the entrance.

Magma man killed a magma crab.

Sarvesh Keskaltosid, Scholar, was sucked into the waterfall intake.

4th galena 124

Replaced the watch dog with the turkey gobbler that had kept attacking the dog and was subsequently captured and tamed.
Caught a deer.

A cat was named as Onget Bimnicat.

2nd limestone 124
A vile force of darkness has arrived!

Sibrek Urvadostath, Scholar came to visit and was killed a troll.
Goblins, beakdogs, and trolls were flushed down the goblin flusher one by one.
The Teal Embraces, a performance troupe, is visiting. It's verly likely that this whole troupe will be all flushed down the drain.
Occasionally, one or two enemies escaped the water flow and walked onto the dry corridor. They would be caught by a line of cage traps.
A human poet from the Teal Embraces alos made it through the flusher.

Em the troll, killer of Sibrek, wrestled away an astrology book that the scholar was carrying. Em managed to escaped the flusher and was later killed by the soldiers. Sibrek's book was then stored in the library.

Siege ended.

It was a bad idea to try moving the caged enemies into a single cage. The trolls escaped every time when a dwarf tried to recage them. A dwarf was killed by an escaped troll.

Latest artifact: Gecastlisid, a granite statue of dwarves laboring. The artwork relates to the foundation of Tenderbusts.

-hag of evil horn bracelet-, once owned by Tamed Karaxetan
