I am so win, I got owned by one of the most pathetic monsters in the game. Mind if you train me to Adequate Axedwarf after this?


PS: Cain, if you ignore me like you did the other guy, I will return as a ghost, with a knife, and do some of my own surgery on your phallus!

Edit:

The dwarf carrying Corai to Cain began to notice that Corai was mumbling about demons and adamanite, and War Cavies.

The spine injury seems lethal. I suggest we do what Corai would have wanted, to be pitted down a 15 z level drop

Its not lethal if its middle spine, I am fine as long as my upper-spine is alright. Middle = cripple, upper = Lungs are dead.


Edit

15 Z level pit? Thats not very nice!

Slap!

Actually, the spine injury doesn't seem to have injured the nervous tissue, despite the severe bone fracture.  Corai should be just fine, although healing will take a while. 

In the real world you'd have to be very careful to ensure that no further spinal damage occurred while moving him with an injury like that, but in Dwarf Fortress that isn't a problem.

When minecarts come, we'll use them as wheelchairs.

*a letter found etched on the floor by Corai's bed*

You see Corai? This is what happens when you label yourself as their enemy. They waltz right up out of wherever they were to try and kill you. You may well have ruined diplomatic relationships with the ancient cave dwellers. FOREVER.
On the other hand it was my expedition so it's my job to take care of you, even if it is only the doctor who can directly help.
Maybe I could ask some miners to quickly get some of that adamantine and use the thread to close up some of your wounds? You DID help to find it after all.
Don't die on my hands, and try to stay away from the caverns in future. I don't think you'll be welcome.

The first I heard about this cave exploration thing was when Erush started begging for permission to work on adamantine cloth.

I do wish people would warn me before doing this sort of thing. I heard the screams and unearthly howls of rage echoing up from the depths of course, but I assumed it was just ordinary alpha labs business. When you live in a fort full of animals, animal trainers, mad scientists and Corai, you get used to hearing terrifying screams.

I suppose the team gets some credit for not leading anything dangerous back into the fort, and I can't deny that they've found incredible wealth down there. Still, I'm not happy that they kept this a secret. We've already had a death in the military this year. We don't need more.

So no, Erush, you can't work with adamantine cloth just yet. Go play with that asbestos stuff instead.

Awesome! Can you make it so that I'm concerned about Corai?

Fishybang was checking on corai when she saw a letter when she opened it up she froze in rage. She knows corai hates the blue metal. And now this guy is saying he ruined diplomatic relations with those beasts? She was going to have a visit, a very plesent visit.

An exerpt from Maxmurder's journal:

'ADAMANTINE! Phenix just told me the expidition in the caverns found adamantine! I dont get exited about much these days but this is incredible. I can just imagine swining my pick into that blue metal... digging myself a little burrow and being surrounded by the sacred metal. Hopefully some is designated for mining! Some say that digging it brings bad luck... Phooey! Superstisious elven talk if you ask me!'

I've always wanted to make weapons of the legendary bluemetal. I hope I get the chance.
