[Urist McMalaclypse]

Just started playing the recent release cycle, made a new world and started with an adventurer. I was planning on running a few human adventurers before I got into fortress mode again.

Then I saw it.

There is a large range in the Southwest of the world, named the Praised Mountain for its greatest peak. Most of the range is scorchingly hot year-round.
In that range lie the Blanketed Lakes. A peninsula of lower land extends out into the water, with hills on the far end.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A brook known as the Everseeing Harvester runs through the Silent Hill. The region lies just beyond the reach of the great dwarven nation of the West Boats.

The only person known to have escaped the region alive was the elf Amayi Crazybasins, who passed through the area in 268, taming the ocelots there. She is still alive today, and fought as a leader against the goblins of the Uncommon Plagues starting in 71, when the goblins first attacked her home in the Rosy Swamp. She fought until 514, when she led the attack against the Uncommon Plagues at Tormentgem, which ended in the destruction of that evil fortress. She has a ton of tamed creatures in her profile as well, starting even before the war, and continuing to the present day. I can only conclude that she sought the aid of the fell ocelots of the Silent Hill, and had the power to make them obey.

However, where there is metal, there will be dwarves. When Emung Icysaffron dies or goes into retirement, I intend to colonize the area for the glory of the West Boats.

Oh, you're screwed.

[Vehudur]

Looks like you found your own nice little batch of hell on earth.

Silent hill? Uh oh.

[Mitchewawa]

An army of ocelots, huh. Sounds effective.

[Pokon]

Is this the first sign that the RNG is actualy a troll?


Also, your so, so screwed. Make it a community fort! 

[Girlinhat]

+1 community fort.

Silent Hill, Everseeing Harvester...  This is just ripe for terror.  Any community fort done here must be in the style of Event Horizon.

Community or sucession.

When the time comes, I'll make sure to put the fort in the Community Games section. I'd rather not do a year-by-year community fort, but I have an even better idea. When it eventually collapses in a screaming inferno, I'll hand the save off to someone else. After all, why should horrible death by demonic ocelot stop the place from being reclaimed? That person will control the fort until it collapses in on itself again, repeat until the bowels of hell have been conquered or the ocelots find a way to spread to the forums.

Not sure when that will start, though. I've somehow managed to kill off a couple vampires and a FB in adventure mode without lasting injury. When the time comes, I'll link to that thread here.
EDIT: Strike that, just ran into a well-armed band of goblins, and I'm having a spot of trouble with the halberd sticking out of my chest. I'll post the link once I've written things up properly.

[Flying Dice]

Oh, yeees~


Post an AAR with the save file, perhaps?

[Pokon]

Neverless, the faster our grubby hands can get murdered in the happiest hell on earth the better.

[Urist McMalaclypse]

Oh god, the dwarf civ that borders the Silent Hill (which I naturally chose) has a history of major vampire and werecreature problems, as well as a particularly active Tower overflowing with dwarven necromancers and their servants, if legends mode is to be trusted. I really, really hope I'm far enough away from that Tower.

Thread is at http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=103751.0. I've posted a basic OOC intro, but I need a decent meal before I can finish the pre-embark story. If you want to see the thread before it descends into madness and despair and maybe (oharmoknopleaseletthisbeidlespeculation) armies of skeletal wildcats, look now, because it's not going to last.

[Blizzlord]

Does it give live to that which has fallen? What powers does the weather bring? Hopefully it will be necrotic rain (interpret as you want ) and maximum zombie infestation!

[NRDL]

Build a town-looking fort, abandon, then send an average peasant adventurer there.  Name him what you will, have him survive the horrors that is...

SILENT HILL. 

[Blizzlord]

Let's not forget the beserk dwarf with a giant knife and a pointy helm...
