When you've supplies trapped on the surface due to scary things loitering there, that's when the cave-in trick can come in handy. Think of it as a 1-shot freight elevator.

PS: Loving this Dwarven Tale.

KEY WORDS: Bodies. Trapped. On. Island.
Looks like time to build new defences.
I'm bringing a marksdwarf next time.

Well that went well.
Another 7 dwarves bite the dust.

[Togre]

Keep at it.  This is becoming epic (at least by my standards).

[TopHat]

It's over.
FPS death (0FPS)

I'm not kidding.
It actually says that.

So long, and Thanks for all the advice and support.
Time to build somewhere else.

So, I guess this is due to stuff getting added/duplicated between loss/abandom and (attempted) reclaim of the site?

Yup.
Too much junk

This is pretty sad, yet entertaining.

Do tell us about your next Terrifying Evil (insert Embark type) here and any possible reclaims you do. Or better yet, do continually video's of it and post it so we can view it

Well, I was thinking....
There's still space in the embark square...
So I'll re-embark next to the previous fort.
Who wants me to post the successes/failures of this exploit?
Also, just found out that the fort is in the "desert of shames"

[Togre]

I'm game.  I find following other people's exploits just as enjoyable as exploiting myself...I mean...yeah, well, I'll read whatever happens.

Brilliant.
I'll get started tomorrow.

*Grabs Popcorn*



Anyone want some?

[TopHat]

Yes please, I'll have some.

[ledgekindred]

Oh god I can't wait for the next attempt.  This was entirely epic, despite only spanning three pages.

I can just imagine the dorfs in the mountainhome being picked to go reclaim being sent there as punishment for horrible, horrible crimes.

Now, before I get started, I'd like to say something:
HOLY MACARONI CHEESE!
800+ views! *faints*

Now I've got that out of my system, and without further ado, thus begins the history of Rocksbridged!
This time, I'm coming prepared. This time, The Umbral Crypts of the Tufted Fortresses are here. ( 5 stars for the RNG)
THE SUPPLIES:
2 picks (copper)
an anvil (iron)
63 units of booze
48 units of meat/fish
20 plump helmet spawn
5 each of pig tail, sweet pod and cave wheat seeds
2 quivers
2 crossbows (copper)
2 bronze war hammers
1 copper shield
25 copper bolts
10 sandstone (-blocks - wall - roof)
21 logs (desert)
5 bituminous coal (fuel)
THE DWARVES:
Proficient Carpenter/mason
Prof. Miner/grower
Prof. Miner/ad. Weaponsmith / com. Armoursmith
Prof. Hammer /shield user
Prof. Hammer /Skilled dodger/ novice wrestler
Prof Marksdwarf/ Competent Mechanic / novice appraise/Judge Of Intent
Prof Marksdwarf/ ad. Archer / competent dodger.

THE PLAN:
Ditch/wall (thanks Krenshala.)
Emergency Wagon cave-in if needed.

Let's see how this goes.




EDIT: saw flyers, so went straight to plan B

A miner and hammerdwarf were KILLED in the cave in, and everyone else was knocked unconscious.
Oops.

[TopHat]

There are two dwarves left, an unhappy miner, and the fine carpenter/ mason. They have 1 pick. That's it.
Realised that my only chance of survival is the caverns, and fled to it....

I now personally hate barn owl man corpses.
EDIT: carpenter now miserable, turns out they survived the barnowlmancorpseolypse by hiding in the corpse stockpile.
Idiots.
Considering ditching the carpenter and leaving him in with the zombies.
More updates later.






EDIT 2: The carpenter, who I've only just realised had broken his leg in THE CAVE-IN FAIL, got nommedby the corpses in the pile, but the Very Unhappy miner made it to the caverns.
There's plants and water, and the dwarf only has a pick and the clothes she's in.

I can't get to the wagon supplies (zombies in the way) but the last dwarf is safe for the moment.
