If I am to be redwarfed, I'd like a noble, preferably something useful like a bookkeeper or manager. Less likely to die due to self idiocy, and will guilt trip the players so I don't die.

You shall, once I put Your Ghost to Rest.
Or we might wind up with

I have no idea what you are talking about, what hellspawn? I mean yeah everyone seemed to be in a hurry, but I thought they just wanted to get out on the high seas? Upon reflection everyone did seem a bit sad and traumatized after we left though. I tried to cheer them up with my special traveling biscuits (Minced Dwarven Sugar, Minced Louse Meat) but they just threw them at me and cried.

Chapter 13: Repent

I have to seek forgiveness.
Somehow.
A Crewman attacked Me.
He was Hungry.
He wanted My Food, and He tried to stab Me with a Knife.
I dont know what happened. It came over Me again. The same Anger that drove Me to do what I did at Dakassazir.
I remember forcing Him to the Floor, and I remember feeling My Fist strike His Skull many times.
He was unrecongnisable when I was done.
I cried, in sorrow. I swore I would not be this Tyrant any more. I would not be this Lunatic.
I can be better. I must be better.
But it is done now.
It was Self Defense. I only took it too far.
I should have known better.
I should have just disarmed Him.
This could have ended so much better.
But alas, I threw His Body overboard.

This.
Is.
Hell.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The Survivors on the Northern Beach have missing limbs, dented heads, broken bones, and theres blood all over.'

Brewster just collapsed from Pain, before Slowpoke drove off the three Zombies ravaging Him.
His...
Ability to grasp has been lost.

Bluesproto is dead.
Cain is dead.
And...
And General Brewster is Dead.
He fought so valiently by the shore, then a wave washed over. And one of them ravaged His poor broken body.
A Stray Cow Calf Abominable Smoke Zombie kicked His Skull in, whilst He was unconscious from pain.
Im sorry!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

xczxc has been struck down by a child warrior.
This isnt going to end, is it.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Please, everybody, just get inside the mother fucking Fortress.

Galenevil, Me, and Vodrilus are the only ones left ou... Wait a second...
Fishybang is an abominable smoke zombie.
And that was the last thing I saw, before the life left My Body.

I dont know where I am.
I am standing within a wooden room.
And here stands a Table, and Chair.
On the Table there is a white box, and a pen.
And this is My Recount.

This is all I have to offer.

Goodbye.
-Chilton.

----------

My Name is Alkire.
And I have been appointed Mayor, given the death of Chilton.
The poor old man fought to the death, and slew nearly six of the things in His desire for survival.
I knew little about Him, but it matters not, now.

I am sealing the Entrance.
Chilton was too fucking quaint to lock the other survivors outside.
He was committed to saving them.
To My Knowledge, Galenevil and a bunch of Soldiers on the Northern Shore are all thats out there.
They can wait for Us to regroup, and come to save them.
I was out there Myself, on that shore.
I fought, and survived.
And I dont want the hell thats out there, to get in here.
Ever.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Chilton tried to build a Nobles area.
Hmph.
This shall be My Office.

Migrants.
Fan fucking tastic.

Most of them are already maimed or dead.
When next an armed Caravan passes by, I shall rally a Militia to fight alongside them.
Until then...

Oh Vodrilus.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Very few people are inside the Fort.
We need to stabilise things out there. This is hell, and its only getting worse by the day.
Im beginning to see why Chilton was concerned before He went and got Himself killed.

Fuck, fuckity, fuckers, fucking, fucked, fuck.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
You know what?
Ive had enough of this.
Ive had enough of all of You fucking worthless degenerates.
ENOUGH.
YOU WILL ALL FUCKING DIE!

Hi! Im Cyriacus! Im the Mayor now!
Because I damn well said so, dammit.
Anyway. Im going with the troops to fight the Monster, and that asshole Alkire!

Im not sure whats more dangerous.
The Monster, or Alkire.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The Paper Pusher is also dead.
And Uvash the Baby
And Urvad the Chil... GET ALKIRE. Hes on a RAMPAGE.

Alkire killed a Recruit, then collapsed in pain.
He isnt dead yet, but now the best is here.

And that was the last thing I saw, before the life left My Body.

I dont know where I am.
I am standing within a wooden room.

I am Dementyev.
Lets kill this fucker!

Im Spencer.
To Battle!

Its dead.
But its blood, has poisoned us.

My Skin... Its Blistering.
And peeling away.

Help.
Us.
PLEASE.

We need more people inside, or We. Are. Dead.

I have reopened the Entrance.
Alkire was just killed.
Now to hope some of those Migrants are alive out there.

It isnt looking likely.
People are dieing of thirst.
And theres barely enough people inside to do anything.
Armok save Us.

My Name i... Fuck it, Ive already gone Berserk.

------

My name is Tolins!
Lets try and desperately survive!

Everything has ground to a halt.
We just killed a random Trog that somehow got in.
Panopticon is throwing tantrums.
Berserkers have charged outside to kill things for no reason.
Someone out there is trying to kill someone to make something out of their skin.
People are dehydrating.
SEND HELP.

Galenevil is dead.
So much death.

Noone is coming in. The Migrants outside are all being torn up and beaten by the Zombies.
Even a puppy has gone missing now.

Id send a call to arms, and Wed fight the Zombies. But its too late for that.
We are too few.
I cant wait to be unelected.

Its only Late Autumn.

I just received some terrible news.
The Survivors on the Northern Shore are all dead.
Wiped out overnight.

Oh Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Slowpoke is dead, crushed and burnt by the Beast.
Rest in Pieces.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Its dead.
But at the cost of a brave man.

Is it Spring yet.

Nope. Not even Winter.

A Ghost has somehow battered someone, someone was bled out by the Zombies, and We barely have enough Food being made.

The Outpost Liason has arrived.
Rest in Peace.

A Snatcher.
A Fuckin Snatcher.
WASNT THIS ALREADY BAD ENOUGH.
Now Goblins are breathing down our necks.
Five, so far.

The Soldiers with the Caravan are being Pommeled.
The Child Bembul has been Kidnapped.
Wasnt He the son of Brewster?

And now more of that smoke is drifting by.
Right where the armed Caravan is.

Its a fucking infestation out there, and its getting worse.

WINTER!
YES!
I get a BREAK.

As epic and amazing as that update was i vote for a restart from the last save, you could write it off as chilton having copperblazes induced nightmares or something.
Unless the next guy really wants start off with only 5 living dorfs whom are teetering on a knifeedge towards bezerking and babypunching?

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

Not gonna happen.

Why dont We just Restart, Wall Ourselves inside, Wall off some Cavern, and live happily ever after, in perfect harmony and prosperity?
I dont care if We ultimately die, and wind up reclaiming the place, We are not cheating our way to some weird placebo of happiness.

Right.
Its about time We stabilised things.
Getting Migrants inside is futile at the moment, mainly due to Their unwillingness to come in.
The Door is wide open, and Traps prevent the Zombies getting in.
Everything outside is Forbidden.
I have done everything I can, from Burrows to trying to fight.
Im done caring, its time I focus on the Fort itself.

We just caught a bunch of Zombies in Cages.
We shall store them in that big empty Room in the First Floor.
Theres many less Tantrums. Mostly just kids.
The real Berserks are locked outside.

They were Heroes.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Vodrilus is still out there fighting, and killing.
Heres the biggest part of the Killing Field.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Vieto has withdrawn from Society.
Vodrilus is still valiantly battling.
Vieto has seized a Mechanics Workshop.
And now Vieto is making something.
How nice!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I know how We could fix everything, but Im unsure We are even capable at this point.
Stone Fall Traps, and Weapon Traps would be needed.
Ill try it, anyway.

The Zombies seem to have given up on Vodrilus, and Fishybangs Zombie is staring at the sealed back door. Hehe.

My Entrance Plan may actually work.
Itd be good for letting things *in*, but stopping stuff going *out* may be an issue, as per fucking usual.

A Cloud of Abominable Smoke drifts on by outside.
Followed closely by another.

The Horde outside is massive. I doubt We will ever be capable of nullifying Them.

The Entrance is almost ready.
Next We'll just need some Migrants to test it on.
Im pretty sure this is our best bet at this stage.
Oh, also, Vodrilus, You fought valiantly. But You seem to be dead.

You shall all be Redorfed when its sensible to do so, worry not!
And Brewster, Youre succeeded by TWO Daughters!

Its begun raining.
I was half expecting it to rain fucking blood, or something.

Weve all calmed down. Anger shall not be the Death of Us.
We can survive this yet, dammit!

Everyones taking an underground Fishing Break.
Yay.
Nothing could possibly be more important than Fishing.
...Im not being sarcastic. We need Food.

It be late Winter.
Soon We shall hold the Elections.
Im just gonna do some quick Redorfing.
Not everyone, just Brewster, and Slowpoke, and Felecia, and Twangykid. Ill let Panopticon sort the rest out.

You know, My New Entrance may *actually* work.
Im damn well not gonna be the one to test it but, thank Armok.

Another Smoke Cloud.

Vodrilus may end up being our Enemy.





Everything has been Stabilised.
After all the Chaos, I shall actually do some Redorfing.

Bluesproto, Vodrilus, Cain, Galenevil, xczxc, Welcome Back.
Well, (*Name* II) that is.



I actually would test the Entrance, but thatd require Migrants.
Everything has been stabilised, and Were pretty much fine.
Biggest problem lies with the fact that at this stage, most of Our Equipment is on Corpses, Outside. So Expansion may be a big issue.
That wont be impossible to remedy. Just dangerous.
The Original Entrance has been outfitted with what I think is the best bet for a safe entry.
Youll need to add some kind of Pressure Plated Backup Mechanism Thingy to seal it incase a massive wave of the bastards come in but.
There is a fucking army outside, do not try and fight, it will not end well.
You have Food and Water aplenty, thats all good.
Overall, Weve been driven into the dirt a bit, but I did mine out the Hospital. Youll just need to make Beds from Cavern Trees, and itll be good to go.
The Water Thingy never got done.
Forgotten Beasts are the biggest danger right now. If another one comes, it may well wipe us out. I suggest preparing a failsafe of some sort.



Good Luck, Panopticon!
Youre among the few who Weathered the Storm.
Mostly because You just spent the whole Year Cooking.



http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=6007
And theres the Save. I eagerly await ye, Panopticon!

I agree, We shall ensure You stay dead.
Personally, I never Redorf. The most Ill ever do is make, say, Chilton II. I never do that for Myself. Im sure Panopticon can unexistify Ye :)

Got the save, coincidentally my current fort died a horrible death not hours ago, so I can get to playing, it is nigh upon 3 AM here though so don't expect any updates for a dayish.

Once I get started though I'll probably get through my year pretty quick at least.
