Predict the artifact!
« on: February 12, 2013, 05:55:54 pm »

This is a simple DF related game I just came up with. The rules are simple: whenever one of your dwarves enters a strange mood, and the text "Urist McStrangemood has begun a mysterious construction!" is displayed, press "t", and move the cursor over the workshop that the dwarf has claimed. The list of materials that will be made into the artifact will be displayed with a blue "TSK" to the right. List the materials and the type of workshop. Other people have to guess what the artifact will become. When the artifact is completed, provide the description and name of the artifact.
I'll start it off with this:
Craftdwarf's workshop
White-handed Gibbon bone
Bonobo bone
briolette cut milk quartzes
Willow logs
kapok logs
emerald cut milk quartzes.

Gibbon bone ring. Rings seem common enough in moods.

I'd like at least two more people to guess before I tell.
And sorry, but it isn't a ring.

Okay, now that enough people have guessed, I shall reveal it to you
Betaninal (with an accent over the i). "Calmlulled"
"This is a white-handed gibbon bone war hammer. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encrusted with emerald cut milk quartzes and decorated with bonobo bone and willow. This object is adorned with hanging rings of milk quartz and menaces with spikes of kapok.
On the item is an image of Asen (with an umlat over the e) Planegilt the dwarf and dwarves in white-handed gibbon bone. Asen Planegilt is surrounded by the dwarfs. The artwork related to the ascension of the dwarf Asen Planegilt to the position of queen of The Violent Syrups in 1.
Anybody willing to share the materials is welcome to join in!
