I was watching the intro movie, and all of a sudden, I was like, WOAH, MAN! It's the story of a fortress! In the first scene, the dwarves are leaving the mountainhomes, and then a dwarf is forging stuff, then the dwarves are training for battle, then the first megabeast, in this case it's a dragon, and finally, a dwarf is mining through adamantine, breaks into the hollow space, and drops his pickaxe into hell. He's all like, what??? so he looks through the hole, and then gets burned into oblivion by hellfire!

This was probably obvious to everyone else, but I thought it was kinda cool.

Welcome to the club. It wasn't obvious to me for a while either. Then the bluestone clicked and it all made sense.

Wait, that contains something other than mining adamantine and... the rest of the last part?  I shall have to watch it again.

[Sutremaine]

I always thought it was magma. You have the cliff face, the river, the chasm, and then the thing at the end the pick falls into. In 2D, when the intro was made, the magma river comes after the chasm and before the adamantine (there's something else between the magma river and the adamantine, but you might miss it when digging through), and floods when you first break into it.

The stone is blue, but maybe that was just for contrast? Or maybe the miner dug through a microcline deposit to get to the magma.

[Brilliand]

Oh, yes, I see now.  The opening movie does contain a bunch of forgettable things besides adamantine/hell.

I shall have forgotten them again by tomorrow.

It was river, chasm, magma, candy, then die. Of course I learned this from Boatmurdered, so they never actually did much of anything with the Candy soooo........

They enjoyed it while it lasted.

Actually, it was cave river, chasm, magma flow, glowing pits (which gave you 10 random demons which would probably end your fortress), and then adamantine (which would eventually trigger an instant Game Over once you started mining it).
