I'm going to go adventure down there as a necro, revive the dead, and then retire here. Armok will be pleased.

Even better, that necro can show up as a migrant. If he does, you'll have an immortal overseer raising all of the corpses within the chalice.

Only problem is... those undead might escape and they won't be too friendly as technically 'they' would've caused the downbringing of blablafortressface.

The chalice is sealed, unless I want to drain into the catacombs. I could just have a necro just chilling out on the lip of the chalice, with all his undead swimming around inside it.

Very nice - I like it. I've done something similar, minus the catacombs at the bottom, which I didn't think of... Nice touch. =P And a carpload of bonus points to you for using steel and platinum.

I was of the opinion that blood cannot form anything more than a pool, though, so that's a bit disappointing. =( Maybe we can get Toady to add the possibility of rivers of lava around volcanoes and rivers of blood in evil zones. Then blood would have 1/7 - 7/7 tiles. The rivers of lava is unrelated, but I'd still like to see it.

Easiest way is to head to the modding forums and download DFHack.  Then enter "ssense" command, and it'll run!  But, for my stonesense incurs massive drag time, to the point of slowing my computer to a crawl.  So I tend to use it sparingly and only to take quick looks.
Do you have dual-core or better?

Awesome!
Not really alot more to say here so...
Awesome!

(i also do want blood to be its own liquid, that would be epic)

I'd bet good money that the only reason blood isn't a proper liquid is because Toady knows what we'd do with it - Fill a giant tank with elf blood and use it to drown the elvish caravan for their stuff.

I personally would make blood-steam and cook elves.

We'd do that, yes, among many other things... >.>

Bloody water can emulate the effect to a certain extent. A few goblins were washed into the chalice cuz the trap got jammed. They promptly drowned inside the chalice of blood. I should build a Trade Depot inside the chalice.

UPDATE!!!!


So I built an engraved tunnel next to the catacombs. The bloody water runs down this tunnel through a brass grate and into a hole.

Where it goes to this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The blood of my enemies is combined with the blood of the earth, creating Armok-sanctified obsidian. I am going to use this obsidian to create a giant monolith and road to my fort. I will arm my citizens with blades created from this holy mineral, striking down heresy and spilling blood for him.
 
Edit:

Note to self: Show restraint when draining the chalice.

SKULLS FOR THE PAVED ROADS!

Had to reload the save for that. Anywho, I'm sure the dwarves enjoy drinking booze out of pots forged from magma and goblin blood. And eating delicious sugar roasts off the tables made of magma and elf blood. And the chairs made of magma and kobold blood. While admiring their swords made of magma and human blood.
