"Sir what's the plan B?"
"Plan B? THERE IS NO PLAN B. USE THE PLAN C, all squads kill it!"

Actually, it was plan K (or D, as per "Dog cluster bomb").

oh shit

it even wasn't a honorable death, I just messed up

so basically it seems I'm a quite successful overseer defeating sieges and giant birds like cutting butter but I just tend to murder all the dwarfs important to the story

Oh well, in my last fortress I made a miner channel itself into the bottomless pit.
He's been missing since...

His title was "feeder", I changed it to "Beastslayer". He is also the mayor. He isn't the most skilled dwarf but he had the best weapons.

I traded with dwarven merchants for what little steel items they brought.

Also we now have a fairly useless lava flood thing.

At least the magma drain is working out well.

"Sir, there's.."
"Don't talk to me! Get away from me!"
"I just.. there is.."
"You what? More news of dwarves burning in lava?"
"Actually.. yes"
"AAAARRAAAAARRAAA"

More artifact crafts I assume.

Haha thank you.

I ordered steel bars and the like from the Mountainhomes. Curiously they don't have iron bars listed, nor any iron ores. How do they make steel?

The possessed dwarf claimed a magma glass furnance.

Luckily this FB is quite slow, I might be able to build walls in time and seal off the main staircase in time.

It moved for a few tiles and the it returned to where it first appeared on map and then vanished O_O.

I now declare my Grand Mausoleum finished!

I have a few weeks more from the last month and then I'm finished.

Hey if for whatever reason that FB comes back just send anyone after it, its made of vomit so one hit will deconstruct it.
Or you could build fortifications around it in a complex web getting scheme....

NAV is now re-dorfed as

FB has returned, or was never away, not sure.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's on! NAV goes solo, but as I learned it wasn't struck down immediately so I sent in reinforcements. It was a pretty bloody business.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A marksdwarf got the kill.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oh.. that dude.. and the artifact thing, somebody will put him down.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

BFEL! Is that you? What.. what are you doing there?
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yep, this is dwarf fortress. Of all the possible dwarves to stand next to the armed soldier when he goes berserk, it has to be BFEL.

BFEL's dog got cut open.

After killing Markers dog the bloodcrazed speardwarf is chasing BFEL! The speardwarf is wearing an artifact rose gold spear. BFEL you ran in the wrong direction!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

BFEL survived and Rimtar Enithzaneg was dealt with.

Some notes to the next overseer:
There are some gold coffins edit:chests in production, NAV's room needs one.
You might want to turn off the useless lava flood on the bedrooms level if FPS is a concern.
Caverns are unsecured.
Dining hall could be more grand I guess.

Save is here: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=7000

Good luck!

I suppose I can resume my turn, if you want. Just, I'm scared of the "report". I'm not the guy who takes notes during a play...

I'm not that good storywriter so I just opted for documenting my turn with colorful pictures. But I skipped over some of my management decisions etc. and tried to write about what I thought were the most important or interesting things.

e: What I wanted to say was that do it in any way you like and it'll be fine IMO :D
