Was going to finish up tonight and tommorow, but my English teach had the brilliant idea to give us a five paragraph character analysis due Wednesday, on top of our regular asignment of fifty vocabulary words, and our four paragraphs based on themes surronding those words.  And I also have to memorize all twelve of the Orders of the Sentry by Friday.  So will attempt to finish by Thursday instead.
Also, Gar the 2nd was killed while trying to engage a horse, who by then was named, in axe to hoof combat.  The hoof won, after killing half of our military and another dwarf who was trying to move the dead body to the non-evil zone.  I'm currently mining out numerous veins of tetrahedite, so that we might be able to expand our military to numbers sufficient to retake the outside, and then hold it.  The zombie pit is almost complete, and is currently being stocked with zombies.  I doubt I'll have the time to build a trap, so instead I'm going to make the pit hard to defend against in case some other player accidently 'Forgets' to lock it.

The situation is bad.  Sedme Omsosirum Galeh Kish, a beast forgetten by time itself, has somehow managed to reach us from the lower cavern.   How I know not.  It is a giant rattlesnake, with external ribs providing extra armor.  It has already killed four over the past week, including the masked dwarf.  We were able to lock it in the dining room, but that will only buy us a few hours at most.  I have organized a desperate counteroffensive.  It will come in two parts.  Our standing militia will hit first, followed by a squad of six, all armed with picks, which I will personally lead.  If we are succesful, we will quickly dump it's body in the deepest part of our fort we can find, and lock it away for the rest of time.  If not, then let this journal be a warning to all who come here.  Leave while you still can.

So, reclaim again? Or start another fort somewhere else?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Reclaim!
This me lasted a while... Can I have a new one?

[Lightningfalcon]

I say reclaim.  I really want to see someone fighting Kish. Who, as a side note, was originally stuck in the caverns, until I loaded the save last night and was apparently in the dining room with a trail of dead bodys.  I have absolutely no idea how I had managed to miss that, but I'll blame all the "Urist McWeaver cancels gather web- Needs ten webs" messages.

Alrighty guess next player has a really fun job XD

slowpokez has been pmed

Can I get added to the end of the waiting list for player turns?
Also, should I post a challenge, or is reclaiming a fort full of giant rattlesnakes and zombies enough of one?

Post it. Fail or succeed, it's part of the rules, and tradition

You are to create a fully self sufficient airlock capable of supporting up to ten dwarves.  It must have at least one trade depot, which can be accessed through it's own seperate airlock, three workshops, in order to train the migrants, and anything neccasary to keep the dwarves self succiciant.    The chamber will be occupied by each migrant wave, until either the season ends, or until a new migrant wave arrive. 
Bonus- Construct a dormitary capable of housing ten dwarves, a dining room, and a barracks, to train the dwarves into a militia. 
Second Bonus- Smooth all the stone in the airlock, and then engrave the walls. 
Reward-
Your dwarf will be given a bedroom that is a minumum of 6 by 6 tiles wide, that is too be completely smoothed.
Completion of one bonus- Your dwarf is to be given a personal dining room.
Completion of two bonuses- Your dwarf will be given his own throne room. 
Punishment-
Since the airlock has not been completed, the migrants won't have a safe way of entering the fort.  Your dwarf is too be given a set of armor and a weapon of his choice, and must go out each migrant wave to cover the mirgrants as they attempt to enter the fort.  Once he is able to safely escort a total of fifteen migrants, he may retire from this duty.

I like this idea. It reminds of something said earlier. And the almost death sentence for the dwarf in question means they should probably have a permanent position in the "waiting fortress."

Exactly why we need a bunker.  Without one, all I could do was to try to zerg rush it.  It was that or waiting for it to pick us off one by one.
No, the challenge is not at all related to what anyone said at anypoint earlier in this fort.  Also, you have to give the poor dorf some hope, eh? 

[Ifeno]

2 things regarding the challenge:

1.  How far did you get with your own challenge Falcon?
2.  Don't we already have a bunker challenge / project?
