SO..
ON The Second year of a new fort, I got a "Deadly Dust" Forgotton Beast. The resulting "OH SHI-"
However I got VERY Lucky and it went down to my new strip mines instead of up into the fort.
There I was able to seal it up till I could decied what to do...
Next Season I got a Vamp and figured. "AHA! Vamps, very strong, hard to kill, I shall send him in alone to kill the Beast! And if he dies, well hes a Vamp, no big loss!"
I spent the next year working between spiking my vamp in a Danger room into Legdendary status, and making a set of Masterwork Candy Armor after getting a legendary armor smith from an artifact.
Now, Two years after I first sealed the beast I am ready to send in the Vamp in what I am SURE shall be an EPIC Dwarf battle to ring through the ages!!!
I scroll down to where the beast is sealed up in the mines to find to my horror it is NOT there. I find I foolishly had a miner chop into a seam that allowed it to escape! I begin thinking OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT! And go looking for it... A moment later I find it...
It's a corpse.... Being carried by the same miner who dug into it. A quick inspection shows no wounds, no injuries, no coatings of Dust... I quickly check the attack logs and find, to my shagrin.
"The Miner charges the beast with his *Pick Ax* !
The Axe has become lodged in the skull brusing the brain!
The Beast has been struck down!"
Two years of prep work, and I get it down with an axe to the brain.
OH HOW I LOVE THIS GAME.
