[Booken the Blue]

The best thing about Dwarf Fortress is that anything can happen when you less expect it. My latest fortress, Zustash Alath, is by far my best success. Dug deep in the mountain, near a temperate forest, with a brook close by. 2-4 of the most important workshops (Mason, Carpentry, Crafting, Metal, etc), it has attracted ambushes from goblins and a couple nobles.

I have quite a few legendary craftdwarfs, due to all those strange moods I been having. My dwarfs are kept happy, sheltered, and drunk. Or at least until my noble mandates an impossible task. He wants clear glass instruments, but oh boy I haven't started on that yet. The mandates clears and one of my legendary craftdwarf is sentenced to a couple hammering. Unfortunatly, he dies from it. His wife becomes very unhappy, but not moody enough to rampage in the fortress.

At least until...

Kogan Mossbeard looses a roaring laughter, fell and terrible!

I quickly pause and zoom to the dwarf in question. Its her, the dwarf who recently lost her husband. Take a quick look around, I see the noble in a nearby hallway...

I unpause, it happened in an instant, so fast. I watched her grab the poor noble in question, and drag him into the butchery... I could imagine him screaming bloody murder just before her veangeful axe chopped his head off.

Give that dwarf a medal for doing your job for you  .

Stuff like that makes the game fun in both senses of the word.

If only there was some way to stimulate a fell mood in the presence of nobles.

[Aqizzar]

Epic.  A noble's mandate kills a dude, and his wife snaps and mandates a noble's skull.

What did she make?  Whatever it is, build a monument around it.  Somewhere that all the other nobles will have to see it.

Dwarven skin trousers.

Dwarven skin trousers.

Give them to your Philosopher/Hammerer?

[Captain Xenon]

i guess we know who wears the pants in that fortress...

OWNED.

Seriously, this is the stuff of legend.

[Foa]

Please let the Hammerer use the switch that no one has returned from using.

And make sure to kill the other nobles, they deserve you laughs.

I'm building a catapult into the lava pool. Pull lever, bridge rise, victim is launched into the lava. Still needs heavy testing.

[martinuzz]

EPIC!

btw, raised bridge catapults are a bit odd. They don't always fire your dwarves in the direction you'd expect them to.

[Booken the Blue]

Yea, I saw that. Onward to other projects then...

[Doppel]

That is pure awesome, i never even had a fell mood.

[kurisukun]

Epic.  Win.

Wich is more cruel, an underground water maze, or an above-ground fire maze?

Magma pump, dwarven ale barrel, oaken walls, lever. Give him a 5 tiles advance.
