We definitely want to capture the beast with webs, which if I am right is the giant spider that has been down there for a few years now since my second turn.
It isn't. It's a brand new one. A giant shrimp, to be precise.
I just looked at them properly, and here's the list:
1. Aste - giant crab with poisonous gas (this one has rotten feet from stepping in extract from other FBs)
2. Gorhax - enormous eyeless shrimp with webs
3. On - one-eyed sauropod with fire
4. Ijat - hairy chameleon (lavender coloured, even) with fire.
5. Wami - towering three-eyed mayfly with fire.
6. Nunur Bocashvuthil - giant mud quadruped with poisonous vapours. Should be an easy kill, being mud and all that.
7. Spos Asngeksodor - enormous three-eyed lobster. Has noxious secretions.
8. Anan Ugoshrakust - giant humanoid made of water, has webs.
Has wings. Also an easy kill, so it might be the safest of the FBs to capture for web-work if we want to do that. think this one's in the lower level cavern
9. Stumstu - One-eyed lobster. Has a "hunger for warm blood".
10. One - Gint humanoid made of green zircon (break out the hammers, I guess). Poisonous gas.
11. Isa - Massive skinless 8-legged kangaroo. Poisonous bite (this one has also stepped in rotting extract, so it's got rotten feet as well. We'd do well to work out exactly what extract causes that rot
before any combat.
12. Zolak Omugathingiebob (name's too long to bother with) - giant humanoid, made of flame. Nothing special and theoretically an easy kill.
13.Slalsto - giant one-eyed horse.
Has wings. Deadly dust. This guy's trapped between a bunch of trees, the edge of the map, and the solid rock around it. So it's not a worry.
On the other hand, we've only got two ghosts right now.
I'm now in mid-late summer. Construction has picked up a little, but I don't think I'll be finished by the end of the year. I might be able to get some of the walkways done, but not roofed. The most important thing is done: I've connected the new bridges to the old control systems so we can seal off the outer compound.
Edit: meanwhile, our marksdwarves are beating a beserk horse to death with their crossbows and something/one has just fallen into the moat. So yeah, the wierdness and stuff is still going strong here.
Edit2: New FB added to list.
