Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I believe this was my first attempt to open the HFS. The entire fortress was slaughtered, of course, in the dwarven wave attacks and stuff that I tried after the ballista corridors proved insufficient and they melted the steel gate with their body heat (;_;) but there were two survivors. One was the mayor, the original mayor, surprising given that he was in the first wave... must have gotten lucky and got dragged back to the hospital by someone, because that's where he was at the end. The other last survivor was a fortress-born child, 6 years of age. Severely injured, very slowly bleeding out due to lack of living doctors while the clowns contented themselves temporarily with destroying every coffin in the catacombs, the mayor held a meeting with the child from his literally bloodstained hospital bed. The child had obviously lost her entire family, and the only two happy thoughts she had when I abandoned, with her as the final survivor (the mayor bled out during their meeting), were: "Talked with a friend recently" and "made a new friend recently"

One of the few times Dwarf Fortress has actually moved me to tears
