Ooh, maybe there could be a love quadrangle. <dwarf> -> Rose -> Splint -> Stova.
Juicy~
I don't like it. Not enough fire.
On the subject of fire, I've decided to get around Splint's ban of weaponizing magma by modding in flamethrowers. 
Okay, not really, but I have been thinking about such a mod. I've come up with the following things:
-Due to the problems of their being no appropriate weapon skill and the likely results of dwarves getting into training matches with them, I decided they'll be siege engines like catapults and ballistas. To compensate for being immobile, They will have a much longer range compared to traditional depictions of flamethrowers(maybe around 20-30 squares long).
-Not sure what they'll use as ammo, but probably oil.
Um... Just how exactly do you plan on doing this in the raws? Or are you considering modifying the program itself? For starters, there's not any oil...
There IS a way to make "flamethrowers", but it involves modifying the dwarves themselves to give them the ability to cast fire. and trust me, you DON'T want to do that. Dwarves aren't fireproof. But if you
did want that, this is what you'd do:
1. Create a new special type of stone that turns to vapor when mined. This is possible. Let's call it "flamestone" for now.
2. Cause flamestone's vapor form to transmit a syndrome when inhaled. This is also possible.
3. Design the flamestone syndrome to grant the dwarf the ability to cast streams of flames from their hands constantly. Last I checked, the dwarf has to be either fireproof from the start or they're screwed. Magma imp leather armor is worthless, regardless of what rumors you may have heard. If you want the casters to keep from catching fire, mod the dwarf files. Even then, good luck with not setting your fortress on fire.
4. Have your dwarf mine out the flamestone. The dwarf
may inhale the vapor, and it may not - with about a 33% success rate, in my experience. If it works, congratulations - you have your flame powers. It's not a flame thrower, but it's as close as you can get.
And what happened to Talvi being part of the whole Rose liking people thing? I was waiting for your next update. Talvi wouldn't write about Rose's crush unless it was obvious to her.
