Is cooking with excessive amounts of curry a useful (not an useful, the -u is directly phonetic) skill in Dwarf Fortress?

If not, then I suppose my most useful skill would be in excruciatingly painful surgery (fantasy tropes never seem to take into account the feasibility of medical care without anaesthetics...).

I also have skill in metallurgy and smelting, if none of you have taken Girlinhat as smith overlord....

Efficiency and esotericism are the true facets of alignment; not good and evil, for both good and evil are subjective. Good and evil are simply chaos -- and order is their absence.

We would have, if she'd popped in long enough. So, congrats - you're our new smith. To the magma forges with you!

since i'm new, i would have to line up properly in the chain of command.

Sign me up as a SPEARDWARF.
Naryar has become a Speardwarf.

Military skills - Adequate speardwarf, novice dodger, adequate armor user, competent fighter, novice wrestler, novice striker, novice observer.

Equipment : -iron mail shirt-, +iron spear+, iron high boot, -iron high boot-, *iron gauntlet*, -iron gauntlet-, +iron helm+

Naryar goes stand at the main entry, vigilant as ever.

I hire you guys.

Urist McMaple has changed AleandSteel's rank to "Spartan Rusher".
Urist McMaple has changed Naryar's rank to "Spartan Rusher".
"Now! Go forth and rush that vile force of sunshine and rainbows."

Give me a shield, I need a shield if I am to go and pull a 300 on these gobs with Ale and Steel.

Hell, I don't think it's gonna be good. It's a goblin siege, it's not like we're two spearmasters.

Also where the hell is Sabreur ? We need more soldiers here damn it !

Besides, I have installed a few traps in the entrance beforehand. That -large serrated iron disc- has even +gabbro mechanisms+ built by me. Maybe they should be used.

We would build a thousand z high wall made of elf-bone blocks and forgotten beast soap. Our tower would be so absurdly high that when we threw goblins from it they would burn up in the atmosphere before exploding on impact. The courtyard would be a petting zoo where everyone would make a daily pilgrimage to hug a kobold. The river would be patrolled by archers to defend against carp. Our dining hall would be in the depths of hell and we would constantly make 300 jokes and laugh maniacally. There would be great and terrible laboratories throughout the fortress where Sphalerite would fire ballistae into artificial oceans and Girlinhat would pry babies away from screaming cheesemakers. We would throw garbage directly into glowing pits and preform horrible science on the demons who come out to complain. We would create elaborate waterways and fill them with plump helmet wine so that no dwarf would ever have to move to get completely hammered. We would have an enormous vault filled with gem and elf bone encrusted socks and absurdly expensive food products. We would name this paradise of the nonsensical and impractical "Incestrapes, the terrible anus of suffering".

I am afraid so. I drink only the tears of forsaken children.
Thankfully there are plenty of those to go around in Dwarf Fortress, and I doubt that anyone is going to miss them.

You do not drink booze ? So you are not a dwarf ? BLASPHEMY ! Kodkod is obviously a denizen of Hell twisted into humanoid form, trying to take over the dwarven civilization !

Obviously it has to be Loud Whispers who's mayor. Among dwarves, whoever talks the most and the longest always winds up mayor - that's how they're elected. I don't see how anyone could be beat Loud Whisper's 11k+ posts.

She's still the mayor, and she has a squad of Giant Desert Crossbow Scorpions...

We must construct additional soap.

Preposterous.
If I owned this place and Hell, I'd rent this place out and live in Hell.
