On the bauxite door is a engraving of a dorf in bauxite. The dorf is burning.

It is masterfully carved. And nets you a happy thought.

You finish admiring the door.

You wander over to the curious and shitty hatrack only to discover it is in fact a curious and shitty lever. It seems to have been installed recently. You don't recall ordering one. You have problems enough making the rent as it is.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Curious to its function. You flail your stunty dorfen might leverwards.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You get the niggling suspicion this might become a issue in the near future.

Luckily the mist of the sudden waterfall comforts you.

And the latest update...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Rather than screwing around more with crazy sewage control levers you decide to explore your immediate surroundings. Not that you really own that many items. Being workless and all..

...

Hey, there is something under here. Score.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's your very own backpack! From when you used to be a recruit in the local militia. Finally you don't have to carry stuff one by one like some kind of simpleton.

It only contains a plump helmet bisquit with a water covering.

Speaking of water covering. Someone really should do something about the damp spots in here.

There we go. No need to panic, it's just water-

Ffffffffffffffffffffffff-...

[Aqizzar]

PULL IT AGAIN PULL IT AGAIN

Open the not-magma door!  Deconstruct it if you have to!

[Armok]

Pull the lever on repeat.

[Cajoes]

Nuts to this! You open the valve a second time to keep as much cold water between you and the lava as possible. Then press against your doo-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

-r. Whoops.
*Urist McFuckup cancels pulling lever: Unsafe terrain*

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You stand stout and defiant. Soaked and slightly dizzy. But not beaten.The hissing and crackling of water striking magma sealed away behind a sturdy granite door. You hope it will be enough, you will probably not be using that room again anytime soon.

Good riddance.

Wow, you had forgotten how fancy the rest of the fortress was. Polished walls and floors, and even engravings and drainage systems. Must be from the lack of drinking lately. Memory gaps.

You idly await your next initiative.

[Myroc]

Find more booze.

[Aqizzar]

Admire the engraving.  Ponder it's significance/maker/shapes.

[Cajoes]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You casually grab the half-full water bottle and wander aimlessly towards the magnificent engraving of two shields. When suddenly someone's wrist somewhere brush against the F1 key as they try to adjust the sound on their speakers.

You take a moment to ponder your status.

Your fear your ecstatic mood will drop if you do not find more booze soon.

Most of your belongings, indeed your whole body are covered in water.

You have no injuries or disabilities. Well that's a relief!

Your Strange Mood gauge is empty for now.

Your Goal Tracker is pointing yey-eastwardly, possibly towards the nearest booze source.

You are pretty sure you don't need any hints at the moment.

The pointy icon hovers over the Save sigil. You kneel down and whisper a short prayer for Armok to preserve your existence.

I'll pick this up again once I wake up in the morning. Keep posting initiatives or critique.

[LegoLord]

Search for other dwarves.

[zchris13]

Just take a stroll.

[Dakk]

Head down the corridor, we must find him some booze.
