Agegul, Daubcontrol, a Rope reed braies

This is a Rope reed braies.  All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.  It is encrusted with Heliodor.  It is made from Rope reed cloth.  The thread is emerald with Emerald dye.  This object menaces with spikes of Rope reed.

That's right, we have artifact underwear.  And it *menaces* with spikes of... cloth?  Somehow, I'm surprised they weren't made out of limestone.

Gusiloggez, The Copper Hole, a Highwood Barrel

This is a Prickle berry wine Barrel (Highwood) <#22>, All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.  It is encrusted with Marble, decorated with green glass and encircled with bands of Highwood and Limestone.  This object menaces with spikes of Tsavorite, Dendritic agate and Native silver.  On the item is an image of two whip vines in Yellow grossular.

Which is more notable mostly for containing no copper whatsoever, in spite of the name (and we have *tons* of copper, silver, and even some Bismuth, but not a speck of iron yet, except what the goblins bring us).

There's some other artifact (a coffer, I believe) which has a nice inscription depicting an elf devouring a dwarf.  I'm not sure I want to know what brought that on.  The only elf who has attacked us so far was in cahoots with the goblins, which doesn't give me much of a reason to trust the pointy-eared devils.  they've even got a leadership position in the parent dwarven civ, so I'm keeping the captured elf on display as a warning.  He's near our caged (and "tame") dragon, who we can't really trust after he ate one of our dogs on the way in.

That said, rivers are great.  Just construct a bridge over it (using constructed floors, not a true bridge object) and line that with cage traps, then put walls and doors on either side, so you can lock it if you want to.  Fun!

There's an init option for it.

Loo[k] at it (scroll down using -+ if it's not the item that's on top) and hit enter. For engravings the description is given immediately, for items you need to [v]iew it. If you want (or don't want) a full description of what's going on instead of just something like "An image of a dwarf and goblin. The goblin is making a plaintive gesture." you need to edit the data/init/d_init.txt or data/init/init.txt (depending on your version: for 40d## and 31.04-05 it's in d_init.txt, for 31.01-03 it's in init.txt). Look for the line [SHOW_ALL_HISTORY_IN_DWARF_MODE: and set it to YES if you want an explanation, or no if you don't want one. In the 0.31 versions it's by default turned on.

Thanks. I have it set to full, and here is one description of a floor tile:
... Utes Spiderpointed the goblin is withering away. The artwork relates to the killing of the goblin Utes Spi... by a trap in Paintfeed in the early winter .. during The Attepmted Abduction at Paintfeed.

:DDDDD
