The Fortress of the hermit has become quite... prosperous.  I'm trying to finish the slabs so I can get rid of all these damnable ghosts, and I'm almost finished with the Cavern base.  Top Gun is feeling content, but I need to get him a room.  The Colossus hasn't killed those zombies.  And to top it all off, a caravan just arrived, then shortly after, a fog rolled in.  Yeah, I am NEVER GOING OUT EVER AGAIN.

Edit: Woo!  The slabs are finished, the ghosts are gone, and now I can focus without all these spirits in my thinkspace!  Hmm... After the Cavern Base is finished, I think I'll train with my sword to keep up the swordsdwarf skill.  Hopefully, I can go hunting afterwards.

Annual Edit: The first year has passed!  I'm counting about... 16 dead dwarves, one Bronze Colossus, two Fog Thralls, whatever those are, one awesome hermit, and one half-completed housing unit.  Somehow, I'm still alive.

Can you indulge us with pictures? _{i like pictures}

[Zinc23]

Sure.  One image coming up: The main area where I embarked, the Hermit's first floor, and the group of starving thirsty immigrants.

[Captain Crazy]

PTW.

Godspeed, hermit. A thousand and one golden mugs for you and your kinsmen!

[Zinc23]

Here we are.  This is the main area outside, and you can see the shrine in the upper left corner.

Ohhhhh.  Thanks.  I'll remember that from now on.  Haven't really done a public playthrough before.

Also: This is the notorious colossus and it's eternal nemisii.  Wait... Nemisis', or nemisii? Whatever.

Every time I've tried to do a hermit run, it's in a normal biome, and the migrants and other people except for my hermit usually die of starvation.  This causes some to go berserk, which leads to killer ghosts, which leads to my hermit getting ripped apart by a dwarven version of Casper, only much angrier.

I should have prioritized slabs more.

You seem to have way more problems, though.  Good luck, it's already quite awesome this early, hope your attempts to cross train go well.

There are now two more of those asshole ghosts floating around!  TOP GUN, GET RID OF THEM BEFORE I ORDER YOU TO CHANNEL INTO THE MAGMA SEA!  Anyway, I turned off my Stoneworking to plant some PH (I was running low) but sort of... forgot to turn them back on.  Anyway, this is the half-assed cavern base, if you're interested.

Ohhhhh no.  I am NEVER leaving this cave again.  Do you know why?  Because, I now have... Let's see...  24 'Fog Thralls' outside, and even though I have no body resurrection in this zone, those motherfuckers seem nigh unkillable, so I'll just stay away for now.  So, anyone for plump helmets?

[Loud Whispers]

Thralls.

He he.

Yes.

Very yes.

[NRDL]

That's a pretty decent dorf you've got there.  Strong, and with good spatial sense.  May the original Urist watch over Top Gun and bless her with evilness and megalomania. 

...But the original Urist never had to deal with thralls.  What are your plans, if you have any, to deal with this threat?

I've read of players unleashing the demons on the thralls...and the thralls won, but still, there must be some casualties, right? 

[Zinc23]

I think I might have an idea...  But that shall come later.  For now, I shall prosper, THEN do absolutely idiotic things that could destroy the world as we know it.  Just wondering though, any good ideas on MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Physics?
