Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

A quick- make that a VERY quick sketch of Sus's final moments as a horde of spawn and a horde of undead close in.



I'm afraid I don't have enough time right now to do the scene justice.
(HANDS! HANDS!)

[Splint]

I'm going to be temporarily indisposed for the rest of today and most of tomorrow. Don't kill us all while I'm gone Master.

[The Master]

I won't be able to play until saturday, in the mean time, i'm working on the intro narrative explaining how in Armok's infinite beard I(dwarf) managed to become overseer/disembodied-voice-that-tells-you-what-to-do-and-you-just-listen-because-it's-completely-normal.

Entry #3172

Sus just wandered into my room while I reviewing notes on the HS-X on my PEA. I wasn't really paying attention, but I think he was asking about the HS-X and goblins or something of that sort.

I *know* I locked that damn door. Blasted paleolithic security technology, could foil it with a pair of tweezers and a pebble. I'll see if I can rig up a magnetic locking device at some point.

Entry #3179

Sus threw a party in the meeting hall today. I was bored, so I slipped a little something into the punch. In retrospect, should probably have used more discretion. Saw things that cannot be unseen (I never would have suspected *that* about Talvieno). Still, I suppose I now have some primo blackmail material should the situation ever require it.

Entry #3181

A goblin ambush came today, bringing with them an HS-X. Unlike the previous goblin-integrated HS-X, this one appeared to simply be a common soldier, following orders along with the rest. This brings up the possibility that the HS-X are not simply attempting to conquer the goblins and bring them under their control, but are actually simply integrating into their society just as other species the goblins abduct during childhood.

Entry #3185

Our fabled healthcare system has claimed another victim. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that our "doctors" are actively trying to cause as many deaths due to neglect as possible. I imagine they have a little scorecard pinned up in the offices somewhere and spend hours upon hours arguing over who gets credit for each kill.


Entry #3186

Apparently, the doctors here don't even *have* offices. They just sort of mill around the fortress and go down to the hospital area whenever the mood strikes them, you see. Sounds cushy, if not terribly conducive to proper care of patients.

Entry # 3194

One of our cavern layers has gone up in flames on account of a Forgotten Beast composed of animate flame wandering around. Fortunately, the surveillance devices I installed are certified to continue functioning indefinitely in temperatures of up to 3000 degrees Celsius. Hopefully we'll be able to capture it and use it as a power supply. Successful thermosupernatural power generation should kick-start this iteration's technology by at least three millenia.

Entry #3202

necromancers in the fort. Don't know how many or how far in. I think Sus got caught on the spikewalk, not really sure because of all the confusion -- I suppose we'll find out soo n enough if he survived.

In the event that they make it into the fort, I may be forced to use my backup strategy. I hope it works It has to work. I don't want to die.

The Master will have the GREATEST turn of CARNAGE! Long live The Master!

[Aseaheru]

yay....



oh shit. there goes the fortress.

Day 1460.

Still I lay here. Those sons of bitches never gave a bother to me. Thank Armok I get refreshing Barbarian blood on a daily basis.

[Mitchewawa]

Mitchewawa - year 7 -DECREE: Since he seems hellbent on it, he gets the.... honor, of possibly killing us all by storming the HFS.

I can't guarantee I'll have enough time to take hell with no traps, military only, but I'll see if I can fit it in-between overhauling the military and industries (if I need to).

Also, you still there Master?

[Mr Frog]

military only

Just send the Spawn after them. They appear to be our most effective means of clearing out unholy abominations.

[Talvieno]

Actually, yes... If we could find a way to effectively capture Spawn of Holistic... perhaps cage traps under a very, very long row of retracting bridges... or actually, I doubt that would work, as that requires the creatures to be stunned, and I'm almost positive that Spawn of Holistic cannot be stunned (I think I would've seen it at some point, with all the spawn that showed up during my turn). But if we had some way to capture them... Wait! As far as I know, they can't destroy buildings, so if you could corral a large number into a single room and lock the doors via levers... Perhaps a large spiral room with a sacrificial animal chained in the center as bait, to give plenty of time for a spawn siege to collect... And then funnel them down into hell with a sacrificial miner... holy carp, we'd be sending demons to hell to fight more demons. And I bet you it'd work, too, provided we had enough of them. I figure one SoH to four demons ought to do it.

[Mr Frog]

[blah blah]

If you'll recall, we actually have a pair of Spawn already locked up in our quarantine cells. Sure, rerouting the demons through the cells would put dorf!Draignean at risk of having his nice pretty office trashed, possibly with him still inside, but I'm sure that's a sacrifice we're all willing to make :3

Ahhhhh, but that's only two, and we captured them by quarantining them before they turned. That's hardly an army, if you don't mind me saying so. We need more... Weaponizing demons against more demons sounds completely in line with the Spearbreakers spirit, though, don't you think?

[Splint]

Ok people, I am BACK!

.... What the hell is this, I hardly missed a damned thing...
