Remember: in DF the player is a god. You could manipulate the raws to create an attack focusing the powers of a dying star in a single square easily.

More importantly: would it kill a giant sponge?

I really do not have a clue.

Are we only able to use things in vanilla DF raws or use some of the stuff in our modded raws?  If we can use the modded raws, I'll bring approx. 4000 dragons with me to fight Ollifex.  That should do SOMETHING, right?

[Blizzlord]

I said mod in supernovae attacks. How much harder could it get?

[wierd]

Well, other than being a solar system ending event that would destroy all life on the planet, and bathing the deepest caverns in deadly ionizing radiation and heat....

Not a whole lot is stopping you from modding it in.


Or were you looking more for a tactical nuke?

[Blizzlord]

Due to the fact that the size of a square is relative to what occupies it, you could fit an entire galaxy there if you wanted. So a focused supernova beam would be entirely reasonable.
Still, could it possibly kill the feared giant sponge?

[Oliolli]

In this case I think even tactical nuclear weapons would be a bit too much. Collateral damage, radiation et cetera. Instead something like 105 mm howitzers. Or, you know... Something bigger.

[Gizogin]

Oh, please.  I believe a more subtle option is available.  Namely, we build a particle accelerator and bombard the Ollifex with antimatter.  A few well-placed antiprotons should incapacitate the beast with minimal disintegration of the surroundings.  Or, failing that, we go with Blizzlord's supernova idea.  We simply angle a high-mass star so that its rotation axis points to the Ollifex, then induce a catastrophic gravitational collapse.  The resulting gamma-ray burst will completely obliterate any living thing in its (very wide) path, which will hopefully include the Ollifex.

I had almost forgotten about the gamma ray bursts form supernovae! I guess that is actually a better idea than I originally imagined.

GRB ionizes the atmosphere, overpowers the magnetosphere, and sterilizes the planet.

The ghost busters particle beam gun is far safer (all things considered).

I have a better idea though.  Obsidian casting. Nothing survives obsidian casting (except ghosts like me!)

Being dead already, a magma facial doesn't bother me.  Get the forms ready while I tease the ollifex relentlessly.

[Loud Whispers]

I propose we defeat the Ollifex by summoning an even bigger Oliollifex.

[Splint]

I vote we unleash a herd of Battleyaks!

[wierd]

Yaks eat too much grass.

I propose modding rabbits into "terrible creatures of ahhhhhhh"'s, and unleashing those on the ollifex.

Being tame, we can take them to the butchershop afterwards.

[Splint]

Perhaps I should explain.

Careful breeding programs have resulted in a bloodthirsty flesh eating beast in Yak form. It is known, as the battleyak.

[Gizogin]

GRB ionizes the atmosphere, overpowers the magnetosphere, and sterilizes the planet.

You say that like it'd be a bad thing.

Fine, I'll deal with it myself, without ending all life as we know it (since some people evidently have a problem with it).  With my modding abilities and gross disregard for Physics, it won't be a problem.

Then I had better start talking to the general to see if he'll send some troops.  It may not be 4000, but they might make a difference.  Maybe afterwards I can start some trade between this fort and the citadel.  If that is possible the only stuff that will come in the caravan will be giant animals and the finest armor, sold at bargain rates if I can convince the higher ups!  There is a catch though, the caravans will only go through HFS due to a superiority complex within their minds.  Started about the time they captured a "curious structure" and the surrounding area within HFS.  Best to not mention how you were behind the music attack on HFS.  They had to give up the structure to get away from the noise and only recaptured the previous area conquered after a long battle.

(I support the supernova beam weapon.)
