I come to you with a story.
« on: November 05, 2011, 08:17:23 pm »

A story of Love, Triumph, Defeat, and Booze.

I know this may belong in Stories but I'm not a fan of the board.

~~MURDERVIPER~~

     A story of two lovers, torn apart by Nar A beetle of the flaming variety.
You see Kib and Dismab Agadil were married, they shared love, and profession, each being a legandary axelord,
and the only soldiers of the fortress MURDERVIPER.
The only Two standing between Nar and the fiery death of their fortress.
That and Kib's 15 Battle hardened war dogs.
They fought, and they fought tearing wing from body and flesh from bone.


     When the dust settled Kib found to his dismay that his 15 war dogs had been slain.
The fort was safe for now, but at the loss of kibs loyal dog army.
This sent him into a downward spiral of hard drinking and self mutilation.
Eventually he started to lash out, his wife Dismab had to put him down.
The two engaged in drunken combat, the battle between lovers spilled into the hallways and many innocent civilians were cut down in the fray.

     Dismab finally did what her dwarven union required of her and laid the battlecrazed kib to rest in his Silver Sarcophagus.
She dug two graves that night, and had her own coffin built next to her husbands.
For that night, she too went insane.
Wrought with the guilt of having to kill her only love, she begun to kill dwarf after dwarf.
Expressing her hate in the only way she knew how, after days of battle and bloodshed the few remaining dwarfs of MUDERVIPER struck down and laid Dismab to rest.

The fort did not last long after the defeat of Dismab and Kib.
But the tales after lasted for ages to come.

It's sad when you lose your most memorable dwarves. Sure, at the end of the day it's just another mutilated corpse in the refuse stockpile, but in the back of your mind, you know that could play DF for years and years and years, and you still may never get another dwarf just like them.

IIRC trained animals will follow their trainer to an extent so temp enable animal training on the dwarf you want followed. This lets you get around the assigned=pet issue.
