Let me guess: This thrilling suspense is related to what I assume is most likely due to one(or knowing these forts luck, both) of the walled cavern areas lacking a roof to keep flying nasties away.


All three, actually (but I've been working on closing up the first layer since I started the save). But no.


It's winding down. I'll put up a report soon. Teaser: Deathsword the Younger is apparently channelling Urist the Blue.

So Deathsword the Younger is on his way to becoming Hellcannon's resident badass?

No, more along the lines of lying on the ground with five skelks kicking several shades of crap out of him.






I was keeping track of what was happening in a list, so that after the muskskoxen fight was over, I could post a report on the bravery of my troops. Then things started to get out of hand, so I'm just going to give you my notes straight.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to stave off PTSDwarf by playing some Mass Effect instead.

Ohhhhh snap man.
That's some grade-A crap right there, good show!

Also, that skeletal troll needs to be dealt with somehow. Undead right now have a HP-system, whittle it down and they just disappear. Magma though? It doesn't do HP damage. So if that thing isn't destroyed in some manner, it'll keep loitering there in magma, unmoving, constantly spamming the combat report logs about how it's still there in magma.

Cave-in the magma?

Or just remove temp and have your soldiers take care of it.

Cave-in would be best option, yes. Just a bucket of water down there where that thing is at and you'll have a nice block of obsidian crashing down on it.

Skeletal Troll has been slain by bucket of water!

I htink the amount of objects that we haven't weaponized yet can be counted on somebody's fingers.

Even though you broke my heart,
and killed me.


Heh. I guess those events just earned me a spot in the revolving dorfage list, no?

I wish someone would draw the skogres biting off dwarfen skulls. (because I suck at drawing).



I fear for what's left of my soul, but I think I'll go to TVTropes and edit the Battlefailed page a bit to reflect Hellcannon's current status.



Before I end up forgetting, if possible I'd like my re-dwarfings to be part of the fortress guard.

I was reading about the whole thing with a grin on my face until I went stark raving mad. I suppose it was only fitting, Lord Reudh had a habit of dancing on the knife edge of insanity anyway. :D

From the diary of Lord Reudh, me!
(found engraved in a tablet stored in Reudh's beard)

So you know what happened today? Mr. Strategia, Armok bless his soul, ordered the military to take care of these strange creatures. I wanted to hunt, but you know what? I'm glad I didn't say yes to being a marksdwarf.
So many people got killed though that it just makes me angry. I don't like him anymore. There was nothing to hunt so I pretty much spent my whole day socialising! That's the life... but it makes me sad that friends died. I HATE IT. HATEHATEHATE! STRATEGIA! YOU KILLED MY FRIENDS!
Oh dear, I have gone a little crazy. YOU FOOLS! WHY DID YOU DIE? I LOVED EVERY ONE OF YOU! You nincompoops! You vile, stupid, foolish elves! I HATE YOU ALL. WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME?

Oh sod off you skeletal behemoth. You pointy thing! I am so hungry I might just eat you! Yes, run away... RUN AWAY!

What's this? Momuz? You silly vanilly, you can't hurt your friends because you're sad! Go hurt the others! I will hurt you, I warn you, I know fisticuffs! I do, I swear!

You fool. Now I am elbows deep in your head and you are not awake anymore. Hehehehe... Oh dear. I shouldn't have done that.
What will the other dwarves say? what will they do? I... I... Why... iiiihh... my mind... It Hu.RtSSS! AHahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah no!

Reudh cancels Inscribe Tablet: Insane
Lord Reudh has gone Stark Raving Mad!

(post truncated, i'll finish it when i get home)



what was reudh from 9 years ago on about

How many are left? And since Thor was not mentioned I shall assume he is somewhat okay.

The last writing of Deathsword, found written in the snow with blood:
This hurts. A lot. I am serious. These things are over me. No one is coming to get me. No one is coming to take me home. I hear shouts, screams and maniacal laughter coming from the fort entrance. I'm also hearing skeletal blind cave ogres biting people in the skull, but that's probably just my imagination. Mr. Skelk, would kindly cave-in my skull already?
