I vote we name this duck Darkwing, for his diligent fight and sacrifice against the evil demons!  Also, someone should probably clean up that dust before it kills the Hellfort in blistery goodness

Wish DF allowed custom engravings on slabs. I'd like to be able to put a marker saying "Here Darkwing, King of the Ducks, slew two demons with his bare webbed feet."

I mean, notes do it, but there's nothing PHYSICAL there to mark the passing, know what I'm saying?

Oh lordy, Just got done reading all of this. Totally want in. Let me know when a turn is open.

Also, could you name one of them Dortimus? Make him the official arena fighter, that would be hilariously awesome.

Hey lads and lasses!

A new migrant has arrived. He is a Grand Master Mad Scientist, and a dabbling woodcrafter and an accomplished Dabbler. He is slow to tire. He has mediocre creativity. He likes being outside, at least for a time. He likes Dwarf Fortress for its cruelty to Elves and Mad Science for making Physics cringe. He absolutely detests id-10-T lazy students.
He needs alcoholtea to get through the working day and is currently enjoying some.

I read through this thread (= timesink), then I took a look at the last save: My gods,...

It is friggin' huge. Makes my CPU cringe and assume a fetal position. Nevertheless: I would like to sign up for the list, even though it might take some days for me to actually get the turn done (if that's ok with you, I'll try to post updates to show I'm still alive).

Cheerio!

I bet my dwarf died when the demon flew the garbage disposal in my room. The one above the bottomless pit in hell.

This will teach you to leave the lid on the lavvy closed so that the Dragon of Unhappiness wouldn't fly up your bottom.

Well... from a metagaming point of view: with the state of pathing of flying units you are of course right. From an in-game POV: Them hell-holes be spittin' out demons like krazy!

But then I wonder: how could these pits swallow the flying demonspawn (well, probably the duck was too heavy, they should've tried to carry it with two demons, maybe using some sort of string, what is the air speed of one of those, unencumbered of course?).

Obviously, the duck used a fowl, ancient technique in which he bites the Demon in six pressure points, paralyzing its limbs.  Normally, it would kill the demon in six steps, but since it can't take steps in mid-air, it's just falling forever.

The closest thing we have to what some call 'allies' gets slaughtered in front of our gates. Unfortunately they don't transform into mindless beasts, trying to kill us.

Oooh, Darkwing sounds way better than Netherfowl. I like. If Paindeer is officially pronounced dead, then it's safe to say that the two are killing demons and goblins together in GARhalla.
