Toodles Ninja!

Vodrilus, its still laggy. But I plan to try and tough out the rest of the turn. Ive been procrastinating it a bit, and now I feel bad about making You all wait :)

Right. Im getting this over with. Normally i can focus on this and do daily updates, like last time.
But because of how long simple things take, im forced to mesh work, and updates. So, lets try and get someone else rolling :P

Sorry for the delay.
Im a slowpoke, what can I say.

It be Malachite.
And I have no idea what im doing right now.

I know whats causing the lag. It aint the items, its the amount of bloody zombies. Theres so many of them, that My Computer, which can run absolutely anything maxed out in every which way, lag.
Bravo Markedangels.
I just hope the next poor sod doesnt have to suffer like this.

The Solution is to somehow have a Zombie Genocide. Possibly followed by a Mass Suicide.
But seriously, they need to die, in order for there to be less lag.
If Magma dont kill Zombies, and Crossbows have gotten two people killed so far, that leaves Us with training up the best mother fucking Military Force known to Dwarfdom, and arming them with Adamantine Everything.

FYI, I couldnt be bothered doing Screenshots. This is fucking taking long enough as it is. Ill only screenshot important stuff. I wont seek out things to tag.

The Asylum is at least making slow, deliberate progress.
Getting the Zombies in once its done will be easy.
But it feels like its taking for-ever.
We are also gonna need a TON of Doors and Levers. Ill make them, to save the next person some grief.
And of course, plenty of Cages and Mechanisms.
Im also building a Mind Maze, and a special Trap Entrance, for Trapping stuff at minimalistic risk to Us.
Thats My Project in its entirety.
And its going swimmingly.
Hell, We already have some captives.
Someone should rig in a system where the cells can be... Um... "Purged".

[This was the end of one Update. I decided not to post it, and to accumulate a bigger, singular update instead of many tiny ones]

Kel the Farmer stands within the Catapult.
Praise unto the glorious Catapult of glory.

Im gonna lock the rest of the Migrants out, and hope they just... die. And lag Me down less.
They are fighting up there, and losing. Thankfully.

Someones taken a Fey Mood.
He has claimed a Craftsdwarf Workshop.

It be Galena.

The Great God... Eh... I mean, Hellish Beast of the Forgotten, Usan, has come. Meh.
Silly walls.

This is kind of epic. A bunch of Migrants are hiding in the abandoned half of the Fort, whilst some Zombies try to stalk Them.
Its an awesome spectac...
Wait a sec...

...We have a problem.
Um...
The Asylum... Kinda... Sorta pierced the Caverns...
Where Usan is.
...............................and all the others.
Um...
SEAL THE FUCKING HOLES!

...And let that be a cliffhanger.

[Again, one long update, instead of many small ones]

Dalex is... Dalex just stabbed Usan in the leg with a Pickaxe, and is now psychopathically bashing the shit out of it at lightening speed.
Hes been poisoned by extract, and hes taken some wounds. He is also Enraged.
So, Dalex. You pretty much went total Rage-Man on Us, and are now hacking up Usan.
You chipped His HEAD.
Not that that means much, considering that Usan just went off after the others, and Lomoth has joined the fight instead.
Fuck it, Screenshot time!
PS: Everyones still just... digging. In the midst of this.


A Woodcrafter is taking a stroll, out into the wilds of the Cavern.

Heres the FBs present currently.
But first, lemme mention the Sponge Men running around.

Usan:


Lomoth:



Buqui



Somehow the epicness is making the lag more bearable.

See, we have a bit of a problem. Noone is taking the jobs to seal off the area.
A Miner was just struck down, named Sigun.
And almost everyone down there is wounded.
We may have to stand and fight, because theyre running out of Miners to kill down there.

Dalex is still fighting, and chipped a Beasts upper body.

Everyone down there is fleeing helplessly into the Caverns. I may need to get the Militia on standby upstairs, because this may be my only chance to get Us into a big group, rather than a scattered mass.



I, Tiltin, am laying down there in agony.


I just wanted to be all Tiltin and stuff! :'(

Dalex has been beaten to shit. Were mostly broken and wounded down here. More of Us are hiding in the Caverns than there are dead.

Tiltin has been struck down.

End Update.

[Again. You get the deal. One long update]

The wall is built. The area, sealed.
Those down there, condemned to die.
Us above, saved, survivors.
Now I have a decision to make.
It took the entire fucking year to dig out that...
PS: Dalex is dead.
*Ahem*
The whole year to dig out that fucking Asylum, and Ill be fucking damned if it was all for nothing. WE FIGHT!
...And Rith will make an Artifact!

Lets do some killing. CONSCRIPT. EVERYBODY.

...Wait, WHAT?!
Welp, lets... just seal that right up...
Totally irrelevant to the beasts. Just... um...
This didnt happen. *ahem*

Ok, ok.
We mayyy have accidentally broke into Hell.
It was a minor misjudgement.
Im not sure how it happened, honestly, because Ive not designated any new digging for ages.
This single tiny hole must have taken months for them to get to, and that makes zero sense.
Hence My confusion.

End Update.

[You know the drill]

I love how My boring turn just became a chain of catastrophic doomsday events.

Mm, walls down. Lets go KILL SOME BEASTS!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvaxPKs8uRQ
LETS GO TO WAR!

Our Warriors are on the Frontline.
Let there be Blood! For ARMOK!
What the fuck else is this damned place for, at this stage.

Yo Vodrilus. You just killed Buqui.
CHEERS FOR VODRILUS!
And no casualties so far.

Vodrilus VS Lomoth.
FIGHT!

Felcis is bashing the living crap out of Lomoth. Weve sustained a ton of injuries in the process of the battle though.
Two casualties, also.
Make that Three.
Reinforcements inbound.
Theres about 35 of us moving in, all up.

Usan has shown up. This aint gonna be pretty.
Two pretty tough Beasts here.
I really hope this wasnt a bad idea :P

Oh look. A Dwarf with a Crossbow, who resorted to bashing Usan, has been killed.
Lemme just switch all the Soldiers to only use Melee Weapons.

Felcis just beheaded Lomoth.
CHEERS FOR FELCIS!
DEATH TO USAN!

...Meanwhile, Rith made a Donkey Bone Crown.
Hooray.

FYI, Usan is a tough motherfucker.



Good News: Tunnel to Hell has been sealed.
Now to kill Usan.

I need a break.

[Yeah yeah. Update Breaks]

Yo, guess what.
A Vile Force of Darkness has arrived, I fucking shit You now.
WHY IS THIS ALL HAPPENING TO ME.
WHY.
ME.
I mean, They cant get in, but fuck.

Usans still fighting, You know. Hes just slowly killing our entire Military.

Fun fact:
Its still fucking Galena.

Im sending down Reinforcements.
Usan may be the death of Us if I dont, despite being torn up as it is, He just refuses to DIE.
Id take another screenshot, but I couldnt be arsed. Just imagine the last one with more corpses.

Bomrek is now in the Catapult.
Praise be the Catapult.

The Goblins, Elves, Migrants, and Zombies are having a massive Brawl.
My FPS hates Me to DEATH.

Good News.
Usan is DEAD. The cunt.

Bad News.
Tohwot Shasttolithbi Gulshebkamca the Forgotten Beast was waiting for the others to die.
Hes just been waiting. He didnt arrive now. Hes joined in, now.



I need a Therapist.

Fuck this. Everyone out of the Underground.
Im walling off the Breach whilst I still can. Weve lost enough lives killing Usan.
*sigh*

Its still Galena.

I need a break.

[La de da, Yeah]

Huh. The Goblins are killing about as many Zombies, as They are Frames Per Second.
Thing is, I dont know how High or Low that number is.
I just know that a smoke cloud will inevitably rush by any second now.
Also, it took an Arrow 6 seconds to fly across My Screen.

Yo dog. I heard You like Blood, So Im taking a snapshot of the surface.



Must. Make it. To the end of the Month.

I was gonna take a picture of the Hospital, but I dont know where the hell it is, so bleh.

Ill just follow a Dwarf using the new F-Key Follow Majuggle.

Found it. Aint really worth a screenie but.

Vieto is currantly Mayor. I couldnt be arsed making a new Me.
Because thats been working out soooooo well.

So, My Cage Entrance is still being built. SNEAKPEAK!



Why does this always happen to Me.
How is it still Galena.
Fuck it.
Break time, deal with it :D

---

Right, now that thats over, would You folks prefer long updates like this, or many short updates? I just did it this way because it had been a while anyway, so I figured, why not take 3 more days and make it even longer.

If Magma dont kill Zombies, and Crossbows have gotten two people killed so far, that leaves Us with training up the best mother fucking Military Force known to Dwarfdom, and arming them with Adamantine Everything.
Remember to only use swords and axes though. Spears won't do shit against them. And concentrate on making weapons, since I don't think that armor-material will make much of a difference against unarmed enemies.

Didn't I install a bridge to seal of the entire adamantine-area? xD

Yeah, there was a Bridge.
I noticed that *after* sealing the area :)

I think Youre alive. You were beaten the fuck up, I know that. In fact, lemme quickly check!

*Vanishes

*Materialises

You did not live. The poisonous air left behind by Usan finished You, and about 19 other soldiers off :)

CHEERS FOR VODRILUS!
And no casualties so far.
Yay! I'm feeling useful.
Nevertheless, I have a feeling that my third (fourth? fifth?) incarnation also joined the dead.
Galena? Still half a year to go...  :o

Well, at least I built some nice tombs for Vodrilus and me. And Twangykid for that matter. A decent grave is much more than most other inhabitants of this fortress could even dream of, provided the corpses can be reached...

With 19people dead, did we lose all our experienced miners?

Btw. I would like a redorf whenever you get more migrants inside.
Name: Felcis II./Felicia III.?(male/female)
Profession: Anyone who does stuff (Soldier, Miner, Smith or whatever)

Not all of them. I think 3 successfully fled into the Cavern, and as a result, survived.

Im pretty sure its only Felcis II. The one that died is just Felcis, so...
Incidentally, We have enough Migrants from last time to just dorf You now.

I'm still surprised to see that any migrants dare set their foot in our Armok-forsaken little deathtrap, known as Markedangels the Waters of Living. But, hey, the last hope of the dwarven race and all that jazz? (Also, where do those caravans come from, in our canon?)

Other Survivors. Remember why We travelled this way? Theres hardly only two Islands in all existance. The remnants of other Civilisations on this land hide away in Strongholds similar to Markedangels, albeit They are more actively involved with one another than We are.
If You go back to My first update, I RPingly send an imaginary Dwarf out to search for civilised Dwarves.

Lets keep this going.

Now of course, nothing is happening, save an above ground War.

How the fuck am I going to restore My Asylum Project.
I may just leave it for the next guy :D

Aaand here comes the smoke cloud.

Are you fucking kidding Me right now.
There be a cave spider, webbing Us in the Asylum.
*About two minutes elapse*
Wait, THATS NOT A FUCKING SPIDER.
Uh... Hi... Agak the Forgotten Beast who is in fact a GIGANTIC HUMANOID COMPRISED OF GRIME AND FILTH THAT SHOOTS WEBS ALL AROUND IT AND HAS WINGS AND UNDULATES WRITHMICALLY.
Where the unholy FUCK did You come from?
SEND EVERYONE BACK DOWN!
Except Thikut, for Thikut is in the Catapult.
How many Beasts are locked down here?
Please, someone, make a tally. Or something.
This might end poorly. It fucking shoots webs.
If We start losing, Im sealing this place for good.

Fight bravely, Men!

Psst! I couldnt be arsed taking screenshots of the redundantly bloody Asylum. If something new and evil happens, Ill screenie.

This is not good. He webs like a machine gun.
Oh, and He webbed a bowdwarf I conscripted. Shame it wasnt a crossbow.

Right. Policy change. Sorry guys down there, but Agak just webs Us so fast We cannot touch Him, and He is slowly killing Us.
Im sealing it.
Were losing about a dozen people here, but honestly, We cannot lose more people to Agak. Im not letting Him be the death of Us.
My sympathies, but This guy is dangerous.

Oh dear Armok. Please tell Me all our Masons arent down there being webbed.
Oh. Shit.
Not good.
Really bad.
Bad.
Bad.
Bad.

Ive assigned the Masonry labor to everyone.
EVERYONE.
No dice.

One survivor literally dragged Themself out, wounded with a broken leg.
...please be a Mason.

It be Limestone.

Ok. Three Dwarves have dragged Themselves out. Luckily, Agak is sated, torturing His captives.
I shit You not, He has Them completely defenseless, and He is just shooting out thick strands of webbing, and nothing else.
They will starve and dehydrate and die down there, alone and motionless around Him.
Rest In Peace down there, folks.

This will not end well.

Break time!

47.

Take away 18, which are those trapped forever in Webs.

So really, 39. About 1/3rd of which are Children, so...

More like, 12ish.
