I have a master's degree in architectural lust.

I have a Master's Degree in Dwarven Floccinaucinihilipilification. That's fancy-talk for knowing which dwarves you need to get rid of.

A Bachelor in Elephant Biology (graduate of Boatmurdered) and a Masters in Geothermaldynamics.
I have a Apprentice-ship in advanced butchery.



And by that I mean a I'm being trained in DWARVEN COMBAT

Well by your collective educational logic then, I have;

A Doctorate in Demonology,
A Honorary Degree in Hidden Fun Stuff,
A PHd in Fluid Redistribution (took me ages to think of that one),
A Master's in Megaproject Engineering
and...
A Certification in Civilization Extinction.

Well, I finished writing the prologue today, and I like it. I've decided I'm posting my fanfic on an episodic basis, you'll get it chunk by chunk. and

As long as we're claiming degrees, I'd like to claim a Masters in Diplomatic Combustion.

It's been 5 days, since gunpowder has updated (and since he's been online).

You still there?

Yes, I'm there again. As I wrote: no wireless at hotel nor at workshop (+drinking with crazy scientists). I'll upload the next chunk today. I'm still quite jet-lagged (12 hours time difference, >24 hours travel)...
Sorry for holding up this project so long.

One note: the rotting-feet-syndrome might bite us: I'll be losing two dwarves to that (in account of them not moving, nobody putting them into bed and / or feeding them).

Edit: and while we're at it, I did my PhD in Chaos.

OOC:
I have slain the Assassin Bug and the Saffron Deamon in the upper level. Unfortunately the other two don't come up so that the marksdvarves can take pot shots at them. I put in some of our soldiers (geese) to lure them up. So far they are ignoring them.
There's still a huge backlog of hauling to do... sucks. I wish we'd be getting immigrants so that I can start to expand the hellfort. It seems possible at the moment, because the waterplumbing is in a adamantine vein that is open to all and everything and nothing happens...

Hm, it looks as if they recover really fast. All are up and running (well, slurching). So: yes, he is ok. We lost Maxwell Edison due to an Ambush lately and one other Dwarf got severely injured.

Soo... we're now in winter, I won't get the plumbing done in time I guess. Somebody will also have to route water down there, preferably from the aquifer or the (second?) cavern level.

Oh, grate...

The winter went by fast. Nothing of note happened (sure, more ghosts rose, but nothing special). So here is the save.

What I achieved: nothing much. Reclaimed the hellfort (well, much of it)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The demons are still sitting in the lower level. You can try luring them up with geese...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
cleared some of the backlog of the hauling, started an aquaeduct. Control levers (see notes)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Beginning of the aquaeduct
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Should connect in this direction...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Good luck to the next guy! Take care of the open aquaeduct (so far no flying demons pathed here), and try to kill the Assassin Bug and the remaining Saffron Demon. The marksdvarves are currently on patrol. Try to get the hauling backlog cleared, especially the stone blocks need to be transported to the storage in the hellbunker and the aquaeduct. Block constructions are faster than raw stone. Also: make more bins!

Sorry it took me so long for the first half. I really enjoyed it...

Edit: corrected the link for the save to the DFFD one

Welp, I'll get right on that then. You upload the save anywhere?
