ARPAD IS DEAD!

I dropped a gobbo's rutherer down there, in the water, and Arpad just stood there, spraying web. So what did I do? I dropped a section of the roof on his head, and he died!

Caveins are always an insta-kill.

Vampires are my arch-nemesi. My current fort has been a victim of bad vampires. ALL, I repeat, ALL, of their victims have been legendaries. Every single one.

Kea Men are the bane of my existence. The only way I feel joy anymore is when I watch my archers fire hails of bolts into the sky blotting out the sun and piercing their bodies.

They're covered in black feathers, have a taste for Dwarven flesh and fly in flocks of unkindness.

Ravens, everywhere.

Hate to do this (well no, I don't) but a group of ravens is not properly called a flock, anymore than a pride of lions is called a pack. A group of ravens is a murder or an unkindness. technically murder is reserved for a group of crows, and unkindness for ravens.

A murder of ravens sounds nicer though and ravens are ever so similar to crows.

Poor fort planning on my part tends to undo stuff that I want to do.

A murder of ravens. 

That explains a lot.. murders of ravens keep bugging LW by coming back as zombies.

Vampires are my arch-nemesi.

Nemesis, n. Plural nemeses.

Vampires.

I've had two this fort. Both got elected mayor. Both would not stay in their secluded burrows. Both took out at least one highly skilled dwarf.

I was watching one of them while she sucked the life out of a child. Her current task was listed as "Conduct Meeting" Which somehow upped the creepyness and annoyance factors.

I'd made a palatial apartment for the second one. He was going to be my lever puller and manager. But he kept tantruming, knocking over his furniture and complaining about being undressed. I never did figure out what he kept doing with the clothes I gave him. Seriously. I'd turn my back for a minute and he's be pants-less and throwing a fit again. I think it might have been some obscure Uniform issue, but I swear he kept ditching them outside his burrow on purpose.

...and my dwarves elected him mayor. o_O


I really hated that guy...I bet he sparkled. I arranged for the hammerer to cave his skull in.

Obviously his superior conversation and social skills convinced the dwarves that they should be subservient to a pantless mayor.. for a reason

My cook, who started pumping out seriously expensive meals WAY faster than I could prepare for the sieges they drew. Fortunately, the ambush that got into the fort after my last soldier died killed him.

My arch Nemesis is almost always water and lack there-of. Mostly because of my poor planning when it comes to food and beer amounts. In one of my most desperate moments i sent a team down to the caves to get to the deeper level. They never came back.

i apologize, water is not alive.

My living Nemesis is the lazy brewer who fails to do his job when more than half the fortress is freaking out. Big sentence, eh? grammernazis love me.

Goddamn animated bodyparts.

None of my undead-raising evil biome embarks have made it past the first season, let alone year.
I suppose the problem could be circumwent with proper embark setup and careful planning, but so far nothing I've tried (e.g. burrowing straight down and walling myself in) works. Water is also a common ...issue, especially on the shut-in embarks. Sure, there's likely to be water in at least one cavern layer, but the problem is getting down there before everybody dies of thirst.

Also, zombies killed my named dorf at Spearbreakers.

First off, though I hate to do this, ravens do not come in murders. It's just unkindness.

They're covered in black feathers, have a taste for Dwarven flesh and fly in flocks of unkindness.

And just as an unkindness is a collection of ravens, a flock is a collection of birds grouped together... To feed.

And they are very hungry.

Metal bars. FPS is certainly a salty bitch that hits you where it hurts.

[Corai]

Crundles.

Goddamn crundles are the bane of my existence. They harass my forts 24/7, they WON'T STOP COMING. And they hospitalized my mayor once.
