Chop off it's limbs, use it as a training dummy.

A husk won't let you do that.

No rules when it comes to lopping off limbs, my friend.

Husks screw the not-rules.

Whoever has the shiny limb-cutter offer is the one who makes/screws the rules.

The rules have been screwed.

That was a legendary axe-candy man, this is a grasshopper.

With every bone broken, so it can only push. It has no "skills" overall. If a axedwarf with a good-enough slicing weapon comes along it can remove the limbs. HAMMAH-TRAINING.


Or it can kill it, either one.

Serrated disc traps come to mind?

I'm just going to say this : It's a completely good idea. I agree. Send your candy clad axe lords to fight husks.

Axelord candy husks? This is directly outside the entrance, if it starts raining call them off.

Yep. That's definitely what I was talking about.

And, its all irrelevant now, everyone's dead. It killed all of the dogs attacking it, then immedietly ran down into my fort. It got to my dining room, and I ordered ever last dwarf and war animal I had to kill it. At first it was the same as before, nothing on the grasshopper, pets being killed one by one. Then a migrant wave appeared during the fight, and they were immedietly conscripted and told to fight as well. Then the grasshopper managed to kill one of the 7 founders, than a second. Everyone started to tantrum. So my dining room was an orgy of blood as everything was killing everything else. During this the dwarven caravan arrived, unloaded in my depot and proceeded to do NOTHING, presumably to terrified to do anything but listen to the screams, moans, yelps and echos of mad laughter that could be heard from beneath their feet. Everyone died, leaving only the grasshopper, its undead body shattered yet still SOMEHOW moving, lounging in the blood soaked living room among the steaming corpses, the merchants, to scared to leave or continue, and the giant raven thrall, STILL attacking that goddamn giant sponge. (The only obvious thing to do. RECALL. With all military skill dwarfs and axes. Best of all I get all of the caravan's free loot and meatshields).

giant raven thrall

SWEET MOTHER OF URIST IT'S HORRIBLE

[WaffleEggnog]

I once had a Giant sponge thrall (or zombie Giant sponge, i cant remember). I was at my friends place and all of a sudden, as he was playing l4d2, i just yell "Ohhhhhh Myyyyy G-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-d!!!". He just walks over, points at my screen and and says "Ohmygodthatsawsome." followed by "your screwed bro". I then replyed "we shall see. If I fail to conquer this Sponge, then the entire settlement of Ancientcheese shall suffer, however, if i succeed, then this day shall be remembered forever in the history of the Sacks of Uniting, and i shall be a Legend. Today, Shit.Shall.Go.Down.". I then proceeded to die painfuly.

[nekronuke]

you could try a nice long tunnel full of weapon traps, with 5-10 serrated discs a piece. that -should- both kill the thralls and fill your fort with delicious thrallflesh burgers.

Uh-oh.
Obsidian casting/freezing, atom-smashing1) or cave-in would be pretty much the only way to kill that. Beheading or bisecting is the only "normal" way to kill a thrall, and, well, sponges don't have a head or distinct upper/lower body, so...

1) although atom-smashing may not work either, given it's a giant sponge.

Of course, there's always the "weaponize it!" approach. Dropping goblins and other not-quite-an-ungodly-abomination invaders into a pit with no way out and a giant sponge thrall to keep them company... priceless!


Oh, and the ultimate dwarven horror story:
Äs Onulcatten, the ghostly Giant Sponge Thrall has risen and is haunting the fortress!

[Garath]

Does thrall dust still rub off sometimes and create more thralls?

[rtg593]

Does thrall dust still rub off sometimes and create more thralls?

If created by dust or ash and is not rained on or passes through water first, yes. (Basically as long as it's not washed off, first.)

If created by a fog, or you wash the thrall first, nothing to create more of em.

Moral of the story, if you're using it to train, wash it first:p
