Those Elves are so clumsy, always being crushed by rocks, walking into magma, falling on to crossbow bolts...

"The Rhythmic Blot" ....

*cringe* THUMP! SPLAT!

Yep, music to my ears.
I guess the "Blot" of the name comes from what Apasi turned into; a blot of flesh on the floor.

I got bored with my fortress, so I stationed all my dwarves on a platform right above the magma tube. Here's a tile that resulted!

 Imagine something forged from that copper...

 It would likely be the stuff of nightmares.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

I think that tile sums up Dwarf Fortress completely.

I'm not sure if I should call shenanigans on that screenshot or what. I could be wrong, so I won't, but:

1) What is a "Copper"? I've seen copper bars, statues, blocks, floors, etc, but just "Copper"?
2) The description of the blood and vomit and so forth; is this an Adventure Mode thing?

Copper's not magma safe, it fell into a volcano and thus melted into a copper blob - or in other words, just "copper". Not bars, not an object, not nuggets - just molten copper.

You can get the descriptions in dwarf mode too, I believe it's K and then enter on the object you want to investigate - it's not just artifacts that come with descriptions, every other item in the game does too.

I know about item descriptions; I just never examined any molten, contaminated metal before, I guess.

It surprised me the first time I saw it too -- the "glob" item type is used for more than you'd expect.  And I'd definitely never seen the contaminant system in action like that.
