Simple. If the Voidspawn win, they're vulnerable to magma, right?

Somehow, I don't think that will work the way you intend.

Y'know, just a hunch...

No, it's simple. We set up a magma cistern connected to the Arena, then, in the event the Voidspawn win, we dump magma all over them. They should melt.

Operative word being "should". This whole thing has "grey goo disaster" written all over it.

I don't know what this grey goo disaster you speak of is. In any case, magma tends to be a pretty solid failsafe, except with demons. I don't hear any better ideas either...

I think we should make a different plan. Like incinerating them... oh.

With MAGMA! This guy has the right idea!

There can be nothing wrong with magma incineration. Burn them all!

[bulborbish]

I'm sure someone will eventually manufacture a danger room. Until then, we'll continue to enjoy massive casualties.

I submit that we should totally wait until we have like a hundred untrained stray dogs set up, plus a breeding stock, and dump the dogs in with captured voidspawn that we plan to send against the clowns. Gotta stock those bugs up with thralls, make sure we have a nice army of the freaks before we open the circus...

Only in Murdermachines do we prepare an army of the undead and crazy to deal with the burgeoning demon threat.

What about a giant magma cannon shaped like a skull?
With eyes that ooze magma and a mouth that leads to the fortress.

And a sign that says "Elves welcome.  No really, we mean it."

Unsure if serious on grey goo, but if serious: it's the nanobot replication doomsday.

Also, the better idea involves a spider named Shelob and a yellow brick road lined with cage traps, plus an industrial-scale sacrificial temple to make the Aztecs weep with pride. NOTHING is totally immune to pointy sticks!

[AnimaRytak]

Voidspawn are immune death due to drowning, decapitation, and dismemberment.
They are vulnerable to bleeding to death, although they are rather resistant, and glory of magma.

I doubt the Voidspawn can make magma into thralls, but okay.

That makes me think of Erfworld: "I want you to uncroak the volcano."

...

Which actually makes it even more scary.

You mean that time almost everyone dies? Yeah, very encouraging...

The current above-ground fort looks kinda ugly, someone should polish it up. By the way, who started building that tower?

Simple. If the Voidspawn win, they're vulnerable to magma, right?

Y'know, just a hunch...

If the magma plan doesn't work after all we could just collide a giant phallus shaped pillar inside the ass-arena and seal them off.

I noticed that the second part of my 'journal' from page 38 is not linked to the first post. Not that it really matters, but for completitions sake I'd prefer my poorly implemented role-play ( ) to be complete.

[Chimpanzee]

Why not place several magma pumps linked to the moat in the arena and flood it if the voidspawn win?

Ah, and now for updates.

Felsite 12, 225

The hopeless dehydrated vessel couldn't stand a chance. All other vessels are distracted with hauling tasks.
Vendix is, unfortunately, definitely dead.

Felsite 17, 225
Several elven and goblin vessels have arrived. One of the goblins was caged, the other wounded a cat and fled.
I hope the elves have brought wood.

Well, they have a little wood, only 21 logs.
Great, now we have 21 more wood in exchange for some bone-decorated iron flute and three gizzard stones.
Now thanks to our dwarves dumping all this worn cloth we have a giant wild boar at the guard post in place of that useless bunny.

Felsite 24, 225

I hope the vessel will grab some limestone rock and become a legendary engraver, or haul some hematite, place it at the top of the workshop and have an 'unfortunate accident'.

Hematite 02, 225

The adrenaline was in a rush, both in my blood and the blood of the combat vessels.
I've ordered the active squads to do the kill.
Dappercat was placing a trap to protect us. He's now nauseous.
? ? ?
All five goblins are dead. Three goblins are dead, and the other two were caught in cage traps. No dorf has been injured more severely than a mere bruise, other than Dappercat, who has already retched many times.
Killing blows have been made by San Diego, Eongaghnacta, and Puff.
Time to clean all this blood and go back to trapping the entrance.

Hematite 17, 225
Finally, after TWO YEARS, 24 MONTHS, or 672 DAYS without it,

The military is finally sparring and not doing demonstration showing how they dodge into the magma moat when attacked by voidspawn.

As for the possessed vessel, he's still hauling stones around. I know by 100% he has something to do with galena, even though his favorite stone is granite.

Hematite 26, 225

Oh finally, took your more than 1 month to get all those rocks.
ONE tetrahedrite and TWO galena? Really? The resulting artifact will most likely forever sit in the finished goods stockpile unused.

Well, that's it for my third session.
I've started working on the arena. I'm trying to continue stretching the voidspawn tunnel to the surface ATM.
The ballistae are almost ready. Now I just need some ammo.

[Wastedlabor]

Stinky goblins. Check my nose for bad injuries, that'll need a lot of nicely scented soap to heal.

If I survive the exposure to such nauseating odours, I'm going to ask the overseer for a light civilian uniform and a dagger for self defense.

[StLeibowitz]

That's what they want you to think.

I see nothing in there about long falls onto sharp things, so I'd say Aztec Sacrificial Pyramid is still go for my next turn!

For curiosity's sake, why aren't they magma-immune ? This makes them slightly less terrifying now, actually

No need to worry beyond this. Your dorf just had a light bruise in his stomach. He's now completely unwounded.

If you change their tissue material's melting point above magma temperature, I think they become immune to magma. Resistant, at least.

AND A KILL FOR PUFF.
