Sorry about that everyone, I really wanted to get back into Deathgate. I kept telling myself I'd have time the next day, but it never happened.

We have a world of time.
Unfortunately we don't have many reserves, Deathgate needs moar dorfs.  Because Armok knows the circus is going to be the final resting place for dozens of Deathgate's worthless peons finest sons.

Quick, check him for rum! The bastard's probably spirited some off to his lair office, to act as pleasant refreshment as his evil scheme unfolds!

A small engraving tucked away in the bedroom of Blade Master, the axe dwarf...

1st Granite 751: I am free from my torment. For ten years, the adamantine sung to me, calling me to pull it from the ground. Now, we have released hell itself, and the call is silent, and cold. My armor no longer speaks to me, pleading to make use of it's brothers and sisters yet buried within the rock. I am free.

I see once again that Deathgate is without a leader. No doubt that even in this time of great need, I would be rejected for my past madness.

It matters not. I have learned much in my time at Deathgate. I will stand by and watch as some useless sack of fat is appointed, then personally steer him to the glory of Deathgate. I plan to conquer hell itself, and take its riches for the glory of all dwarfkind.

I must keep a journal of my thoughts, in case the demons attempt to toy with my mind again. I must, must make sure that does not happen. This fortress is counting on me now. Or it will, soon enough. My first duty must be to properly allocate our resources...

EDIT: Hey, wait a second, we have lava with a dusting of snow! Did someone axe the temperature?

Nope, that's just the Deathgate Madness warping reality itself.  We call the madness Terry and scold him whenever reality breaks.

Bad Terry, bad!

Anyway... Things sure have changed since my last turn. I'm not sure what I should be doing, other than training up the sons of Deathgate. I think I might trap the outdoors, just for the hell of it. It'd keep the gobbos off our backs.

You should be colonizing hell!

We need a walled off staircase to the bottom and a demon proof gate that will let us expand our foothold down there.

Hm... I could do that. I'm devising an airlock system before proceeding into hell though. Okay then, I have an objective for all those poor, unemployed miners. Fantastic.

The following was found on an engraved slab, hidden in the bedroom of Blade Master, the axedwarf...

15 Granite, 761: Two weeks into my plan to rule Deathgate once again, and I have the total confidence of the current Overseer. Deathgate is a solidly founded community now, and dwarves that settle here quickly fall into a routine, mostly of drinking and eating, and only occasionally plying any kind of craft. I aim to bring this fortress back to the days of its beginning, when every dwarf pulled together, and created this fortress from nothing. We may not be invincible, but, one day, we shall be.
I have advised that we begin producing cages once again, to line the entrance way. Let the goblins come. We will cage them, and each dwarf shall fight a stripped goblin prisoner, to teach them true combat skills. The gods know we need them. I also plan to extensively trap the surrounding surface, to keep our hunters and other surface workers safe.

The engravers complained that they lacked work, so I gave them a few short jobs in the Overseer's stead.

16 Granite, 761: Unbelievable. The Overseer was pulled away by one of the previous Overseer's clerks today. When he returned, he told me he had just discovered the true mission behind Deathgate. Apparently, the purpose of this accursed hole was always to breach hell and claim it for Dwarf-kind. We've even pierced hell itself, and through a devious use of traps and controlled cave-ins, a large demonic force was crushed.

No one knows. I don't know what is more infuriating. That I was not told when I was made Overseer nearly a decade ago, or that almost no one in Deathgate knows either. Or, perhaps even more maddening, is that this is almost certainly the reason I was struck with adamantine madness. It was the will of those demonic creatures that I release them from their prison. That they would think to use me as their tool is insulting.

I will complete the mission. Hell will belong to the dwarfs. The bastards brought it on themselves. I have begun plans to safely deposit soldiers and masons into the deep pits. Soon, work will begin.

28th Granite, 761: The unthinkable has occurred. A steam demon has been sighted on the surface! If I had to guess, I'd say the demon made his way up through the volcano after leaving the confines of the underworld. I'll have to devise some method to cap it. For now, it wanders aimlessly, far from the dwarves. I will leave it, for now. Maybe it'll greet the next pack of goblins. The dwarf who reported the sighting has been sworn to secrecy, but I fear that I will have to bear the burden of revealing our agenda to the population.

In the meantime, I have begun to dig an alternate shaft to what remains of the spire. When we are close, I will have a system of bridges built, creating a locking system, thus neatly keeping demons out of the Fortress ( at least from that entrance, since demons are already escaping to the surface.) I must admit, the idea seems a little superfluous at this point.

My plan is simple and elegant. We shall stockpile building materials inside the locking system, then move a masonry team down into it, escorted by Deathgate's finest sons. Then, the masonry/military team will descend into the depths, and build walls out from the site of the spire. If all goes according to plan (doubtful) I can have a throne room in hell before the year ends.

After looking back at the fort from my save, I realized the only reason the demons are escaping from the volcano is because I accidentally punched a hole to the magma sea during that first cave-in.

Once the surface demons have been taken care of, you can probably designate the top of the volcano as a "Pool" and have a bucket brigade fill it with water.  It'll cap the top of the volcano up rather quickly, I'd assume.

I believe I heard once that water from a bucket isn't enough to make obsidian. I'm probably going to make some kind of suspended pool, then drop the thing.

Can you use the water and magma from the obsidian trap that noodle put together? or is that too volatile?
