Okay then. Your listing will say Bonehead - someone likely to die, later to be a zombie. A zombie overseer, that'll be flavor alright.

We currently have a terrible track record of getting dwarfings done though. Will have to nag at people about that at some point.

[CognitiveDissonance]

If there's interest, absolutely. We're not dead yet, though. Let's see how Zombi does it.

My personal suggestion? Settle the plot immediately next to Ghoullights, so we can absorb the maximum migrants and zombies that survived.

[Zombi]

'tis fucked.

The best course of action would be to reembark near the original site to try and preserve the zombies, because there are no dwarves to preserve.

[chaosgear]

So Ghoullights is officially beyond saving? Pity.
Was it I who put the wheels in motion to its downfall? Or was it inevitable from the start? Either way, that was fun.

Gah. I tol' ye tae use the dishwasher, but nay, ye had tae go wash those dishes all by hand. Now I'm all dirty too, and I cannae get tae me nice mist bath. Ye bleedin' idiots!

Please put me on the turn list.

Ghoullights: The Blood of Nightmares

     "Aye, yes, I remember that one," blurt out Onum, "Ghoullights it was called? Hoho, we haven't heard of that one in ages."
The human traveler shifted on the hard granite seat, obviously uncomfortable with both the seat and his host. Onum took out a Spearbreakers Mountainhome mug and filled it up with glumprong-flavored dwarven rum. The human traveler slowly took up the mica cup and took little sips at a time, the hard, stinging liquor burning down his throat. "It's pretty much a fable now. Something that colonist parents tell their yo'ng ones befor' they sleep, 'if you don't eat yer' plump helmets, they're gonna throw you into Ghoullights!' hoha, they always fall for it young." The human sighed, and let the liquor take him to his special happy place.

=Throne room, 3 years earlier.=

     "You babbling idiot! What do you mean 'we're running out of silver?'" the king yelled at the viceroy with a thundering voice thought to rival that of Armok himself. "I- I'm sorry sir, b-but th' alliance has pushed us to the very edge. We can n-no longer af-aff-afford to keep those border settlements protected." the viceroy whimpered and retreated to the corner of the subterranean limestone room. The king sat and thought for a minute- then nearly jumped up, to the surprise of many.

"What happened to that- ah- Ghoullights?"



Everyone in the room gasped- forbidden by the previous king to be ever spoken again, the current one had broken the unspoken tradition of 5 years- never again.
"My l-lord, you d-do realize that, that place is cursed, it is hallowed ground... rumored to be where the necromancers emerged themselves! It would be heresy- heresy and suicidal to even mention that name in public, let alone send settlers there!"

And on that day the viceroy was no longer to be seen, nor his family, and nor any of the other people in the room that day.

=Tavern, Present Day=

A well-built, tall dwarf walked into the tavern, and sat down next to the human traveler. Holding several bags worth of seeds and preserved food, he requested a large tankard of ale, paid by the king. When it had been served, the bartender, Onum, asked him where he was heading.

"Ghoullights. Well, not exactly, we're going to settle right next to it."

Both bartender and human looked up and stared at the settler.

I guess we're continuing from the old turn list?

[Halfling]

Radical move, but why not! Let's go on from the old turn list and see where this goes. I really approve of your writing style.

Did you embark already? Because it might be nice to select a location that reaches as far to the north as old Ghoullights, so as to have flux. Flux only exists on the very north edge of the embark, maybe the top row of tiles. Also to have no non-reanimating biomes was kind of the idea, although I guess one faraway tile of non-reanimating is basically the same.

Suggest that you take along lots and lots and lots of wood and dig another tree farm promptly, because both the caverns and the forest are a no-go as a source of wood.

I'll add Impedocles to the turn list.

[Destra]

I look forward to the rendition, and please dwarf me as a female dwarf, don't care beyond that, and I shall be watching :p if u can find one that likes hatches .....

[Yuli Vlasi]

Hey guys, how's the fort going?
...
 

If no one minds I'd like to claim Zasit Ikudoddom as my dwarf. I like his name already, so just dorf him as Zasit so he's easier to recognice. If you are including him in your storytelling, depict him as someone who doesn't talk alot and preferes to make grunting noises instead of using words (very little linguistic ability) and hums strange melodies from time to time.

Grunting noises and musical genius.
He's basically zombie Beethoven.

[CognitiveDissonance]

Hey, I'm glad you liked my idea! I look forward to seeing how this develops.
Which reminds me, I think I'm next on the turn list. Now I'm terrified.

*cough*

Could I ask for Rovod Alathegen? She's a her, which I'm not used to roleplaying, but I like everything about her. So a jeweler/armorsmith/weaponsmith

[joeclark77]

I'd like to try a turn at this.  Put me on the overseer list and the dwarf list.  Any job will be fine.

[chaosgear]

Dwarf me as a miner, if you please.

[Remuthra]

I would like to be dwarfed as an old mechanic, please.

[Destra]

As long as the stuff you make has nothing to do with water, we will be fine :p
