Out of curiosity, I downloaded the last save and gave it a try on my own (hope no one minds). I ran into a potential problem.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I got to the museum and was immediately killed by the vampire cave-fish-man cook, who was already hostile. I guess now that he's been accused, he will have to be dealt with by someone strong before anyone is able to contribute anything more than more corpses to the museum...

In any case, I was right, my computer really can't handle this just yet. So my turn will have to wait until I get my new computer in May. In the mean time, maybe I'll start up my own adventure succession in a smaller, simpler world that I might be able to load and use without making everything freeze up every few minutes... We'll see how it goes.

Well then I will just have to train to kill the serphentine lord

We had killed more werecreatures and then we happened upon another serphent woman. She injected Dakost with poison I feared what it may do... and my fears were held in correct he became fully paralyzed and she bashed in his brains. I then hit her in her lower body spilling her ghastly guts. The serphent fled I chased after her and cut her down. I am carrying Dakost he'll get to to see the museum I will inter him there for now while I continue my adventures. I have fled south for I know the bogeyman will come for me at night now that I am alone. I happened upon the lair of a dead werecreature probably killed by another adventurer I will sleep here tonight.

My dreams had been filled with roars. When I awoke I decided to investigate the lair incase any goods were to be found... and I found something. In the back of the cave was a dragon! I fled and as I did the beast kept spewing fire that I blocked with my shield. Luckily it did not give chase for too long I must remember this location for later when I am stronger.

Page 6: Night at the Museum

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I had searched the town for a waterskin to no avail. So I went to the museum feeling down on my luck to find a bowmen with a bruised heart next to the founder of the museum fighting him. The bowman was struck down by the cavefish man and I saw he was a vampire. I picked up the bowmans copper bolts and began throwing them at the cavefish vampire who was trying to flee from me. I threw the bolts piercing his vampiric skin and he bled to death as he fled outside.

I threw  a bronze arrow from the dead bowman at him a couple tiems and it resulted in this.

My finger hurts pressing enter and anytine my game freezes I know he just dropped 3,000 items

He bled to death... I had to do it solo my spearman wouldn't help

Part 7: Choking Cultists

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I went further up the keep as cultists began attacking me. I killed 2 and then began to play with them choking them and breaking their legs ah delicious their pain was... I found a dead what I assume was a cultist in a room and he had a waterskin! Praise be to the gods...

So we've started this with the idea to fill the museum with wonderfull artifacts, items and happy visitors. A place where young and old can marvel at the wonders of the world. An educational experience for the kids, a place you can visit with the entire family.

We are currently three turns in, and the main hall is coated in blood, intestines and random corpses. There's a huge pile of 3000 items made of human body parts in a corner and remaining members of the staff of the museum are, as I type this, being slowly choked to death by one of our adventurers.

At least were doing this in the true spirit of Dwarf Fortress. Armok will be proud of us.

Actually... He had 3,000 on every body part it appears... I had him drop it once more and then he died... so yeah.... Anyone who wants to clean that up good luck ahahaha

[Bralbaard]

I just checked him in legends mode. If he was indeed wearing one item for each of his kills, then we have a pile of 31494 (!!) items lying there.

You were not kidding when you said your finger hurt from pressing enter when he dropped his loot.

But yeah after the choking and the cultist thing I took a break and watched a movie i'm starting up again

Part 8: Tricking necromancers

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I decided to test mettle against the necromancers. I went to their tower with my spearman compatriot and I entered I found I could speak to the necromancers so I did. I asked them to join me and so they did. They then proceeded to kill my spearman. So I decided I would take them to Dinnerwandered's market and have them skewered. They were then skewered alive as I turned on them and entire market beat the hell out of any zombies they rose. I drank the vampire blood in the flask... but it had no effect on me

I can only assume that the entire civilization was wiped out by the vampire lord and other vampires hiding in the sewers.

Dirlu Tiretwinkles is my target now... seriously what am I killing Edward Cullen?

Oh and my full name is Kaslun Wadsomber the Whirling Anguish


I want to get a Dragon... I went back to the dragon lair I had seen previously but the dragon was gone

Twinklemansions is a short walk to the north... a vampire lives there. I wandered the sewers and I couldn't find anything just a ton of corpses everywhere

[Brewster]

[Bralbaard]

I've added you to the list,

[Siverix]

Excitement! Adventure! Where do I sign up?

[Bralbaard]

I've added you to the end of the list.

[Kromgar]

Totally spaced and forgot about it... but anyway I killed a ton of vampires and dran their blood and nothing happened... I found another vampire and I am going to drink their blood while they live then I am going to infiltrate the necromancers tower and steal their awesome books

[Tehsapper]

Oh, hi.
Could you add me to the list?

Thank you anyway.

[Kromgar]

Bralbaard... I have a question is it ok for me to use dfhack to melt away all of the bone stuff? Some of it landed on a table and I suppose it could count as an exhibit haha but yeah it just looks litterered very very littered. with the bone charms in places.

Also... I killed the second floor of a necromancer tower and stole all their books. I also took the body parts... I left my bag on a table full of books... I forget to give myself reading skills

Good to know you made it, how did your assault on the tower go, It's nice to hear a bit more about the history behind our museums exhibits.  Also, are you going to create a fortress in your remaining time?

About the massive pile of bone trinkets, and human remains: I'd say we leave it for now. It's the same as in a succession fortress, we just have to deal with the mess we create. If it turns out that it destroys the fps in unacceptable ways we could see if we can do something about it, conventional ways of dealing with it would be more fun though, I have something in mind that my adventurer might attempt... (and no, I'm not going to drag all 30.000+ items away one by one)

I've added Tehsapper to the turn-list.
The museum currently contains the following items:

1: A collection of dragon and reptile woman eggs collected by Logic Enpumik.
The famous oologist Logic specialized in eggs of large reptiles, risking his own life he entered a dragon's lair and brought back not only several dragon eggs, but also for comparison, some eggs of reptile men, distant cousings of the mighty dragons.

2: A collection of over 31494 items made of human body parts Leftovers from an awkward incident that led to the death of the entire staff of the museum. Not a particularly valuable collection, it is however too much trouble to remove.  It is whispered that both Antlion12 and Kromgar are responsible for this mess.

3: A mysterious book collection . Nobody has a clue what they are about since nobody at the museum happens to know how to read. Submitted by Kromgar.

And various corpses, body parts and  bloodspatters that have not yet been properly categorized..

Part 8: The end of a Journey

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

After killing countless vampires across the region and drinking their blood and failing to attain vampirism I think Vampirism cannot be transmitted by blood. I have decided to raid the necromancers tower once more. This time I go alone. I slept in a peasants house and awoke at dawn and went east. I went to the cave where I encountered the dragon but he was gone the only reminder he was there was the ash. I slept there once more until dawn dining on the manta ray sweetbread I had bought at the market outside the walls of the fortress everywhere else was abandoned though its quite an odd sight that town. I awoke once more at dawn heading northeast as the tower where I had tricked the necromancers was far to the north east. I arrived not too long from sunset I burst into the doors of the first floor and it appears the other necromancers that were left had reinforced the first floor. I ran and went over a hill and began sneaking. Losing their trail they stopped to look for me and I snuck in I got to the second floor clinging to the ground of the dark tower. I began throwing arrows at the necromancers in the room as I knew they would not let these zombies lie for but a second. The arrows impacted their skulls and they fell like twigs. I began throwing the arrows at the zombies when they suddenly spotted me I ran back downstairs and out of the building hiding once more and sneaking to the front door repeating my arrow throwing ways. The zombies kept dropping I eventually went back up stairs and there were but a few zombies left I sneak attacked a zombie and watched as it crumbled away. I finished the last few and began raiding the books I not being taught to read decided that these were the best item to give to the museum. I shall be immortalized for the dark secrets I will bring to the people and change the face of the world as I knew it. I waited in the tower for hours as I knew I could not go out in the dark. Eventually the light peaked through the crack in the door and I left I do not want to know what lies in the upper levels but it must be the strongest of necromancers and the greatest of their minions guarding their master. I was already tired and I grabbed my legacy so I returned to Dinnerwandered and leaving my pack full of books and body parts on the table. I felt that the necromancers shouldn't be left in the tower so I dropped them in a river to decay into dust never to be risen by their dark masters or apprentices. I suppose I really have 3 items given to the exhibit for when the Serphent man was fleeing my wrath he jumped over tables and dropped his Human Nail crown on  a table and thousands of bracelets and other accessories dropped on another table. I entombed Dakost my most loyal and favorite comrade who was killed by ther serphent woman in a corner of the museum and I left my Blade that slew many a vampire and werecreature next to him. While on the otherside are those who died fighting the serphentine lord. I also left Dakost my miraculous Ironshield that I stole from a tomb while hunting vampires for immortality. I may not be truly immortal but my legacy shall be immortalized forever now. I mean I did kill the entire museum's staff by choking them to death and killed the king of Dinnerwandered. Not to mention a huge supply of books stolen from a necromancers tower. Now I retire here in Dinnerwandered. Perhaps I can find a wife and repopulate the town that was consumed by the vampire king and many other vampires across this land.

Bonus: If you go to the only major market you will find the corpses of the necromacers I took as companions who I slaughtered in the market square.
