A new person yay. One, what's your idea. Two, you my friend need a dwarf.

One, be patient. Two, I'll take Unib the weaponsmith. Dwarf me as Flame and set me to make silver serrated disks or something until I'm legendary.

I think it's either the youth of the fort or a testament to your collective organizational skills, because I can actually make sense of this fort. Or I'm still reeling from looking at Murdermachines. Unfortunately this means I can't do my standard 'oh shit where is everything' speech.

Also, is there a way to make a dwarf go insane/berserk on command? If not I'll improvise.

I need to make a character bio also thank you for the complement.

If anyone cares Dodok's real name is Ingiz Laststeel. I think that's a pretty cool name.

EDIT: Some tips for the next overseer, these may be outdated because I'm using the last save.
1. Melt all the individual bolts lying around. We need the metal.
2. Also melt the goblin armor and weapons, we don't need them.
3. Make some helmets, all we have are goblin ones. We even have a master armorsmith, come on!
4. We have sun berries. Put a farm of the surface and start planting!
5. MECHANISMS FOR THE MECHANISM GOD! TRAPS FOR THE TRAP GOD! GODS FOR THE GOD GOD!

1. NO! The bolts must be used to kill more gobs! We can make bismuth bronze in large quantities as it is.
2. NO! We can use the iron that they have to improve our arsenals as it is.
3. We have helmets....
4. NO! Sun berries are Dwarven cannabis!
5. Good idea.

1. The individual bolts lying around don't get restacked, which leads to markdwarves endlessly searching for more ammo if they're not forbidden. So melt the bastards.
2. Item quality matters for combat; goblinite is lowest possible quality. So melting it and reforging it would be worth it just from that angle.
3. See above post - get dat item quality up.
4. Smoke golden syrup erryday 420
5. I have no idea what I'm doing
6. ?
7. PROFIT!

Regarding 2, I think we have access to flux stone and we definitely have plenty of processed coal, so melting down the goblin gear is a much better idea than keeping it as it is now, since

a: steel>iron.
b: our weapons and armour would have a better quality than theirs anyway.
c: better for the framerate. This also applies to the bolts.
d: the Knights wouldn't be very happy about wearing armour that has the symbol of the local goblin civilisation engraved on it, which I think nearly all goblin armour does.
e: our militia only has like twenty members anyway, which is less armour needed than is in a single siege, so there's no point keeping the excess around.

[TheFlame52]

Dammit MDF and Asmoth, you ninjas. Also, I agree with MDF's post, with the addition that rat weed is dwarven cannabis, not sun berries. Sun berries are magic oranges.

"Valley Herb".
That is all.

[Gnorm]

Valley herbs are definitely a depressant, but I've always assumed that sunshine was some sort of drinkable hashish that nobles like to drink at parties.

Also, here's a quote from Steelhold:

". . . 'In fact,' he continued, 'it is not the healing properties of the salve that makes it such a valued item on the black market, but rather the natural properties of the original herb's extracts as a powerful depressant. I have become -- in my experience with rolling various types of cigarettes -- quite familiar with such properties of the valley herb, and I believe that I have found a means to use it to feign death. . . . The extract from the valley herbs, combined with the relaxing qualities of wine, have created a substance that will slowly cause the systems of the body to shut down.'"

So everything that Corley has done can effectively be blamed on Dwarven Pot. Although all that messing about with the 'secret project' with Emdief now makes marginally more sense. (What were you trying to do with that?)
Someone call Nancy Grace. #PotToBlame

I... think I'll be sticking with the plump helmets from now on.

In any case, Flame, you have to post an introduction for your dwarf before getting one. It doesn't have to be anything extensive, just a bit about their personality and why they're at the fortress. You can also include a threat to the elf lover who reads your journal in the first entry, but I don't think that's compulsory.

[jrrocks05]

Plump helmets are dwarven magic mushrooms. I mean hallucinations for the hallucination gods but I like blood for the blood god better

[TheFlame52]

I'm a guy, but I guess I'll sacrifice that for the sake of the narrative.

Flame drifted up through the glowing barrier. She'd had to leave her body behind to undertake this task, but it was in the good care of some of her friends. Besides, she could find a new one. She floated around to find until she found a suitable host. A female dwarf, a skilled weaponsmith, with a husband not at the fort. She figured she would have enough influence to preform the needed task. She entered the dwarf's mind, easing her spirit away from the controls of her body.

Unib, no longer in control of her body, cried out in her mind.

"Ahh! What's happening!"
"Calm down, I just need your body for a while. You'll get it back, and I promise I won't hurt you or anyone else."
"No, get out of my head!"
"Please stop struggling, I'm much stronger than you and it won't do you any good. You'll just hurt yourself."
"Well, alright, as long as you won't hurt anyone."

Her struggles ceased, and Flame took full control of Unib's body.

OOC: I only picked Unib for her profession, but when I looked at her profile she was perfect for the task I need her for. Slow to anger, great awareness of her own emotions, finds helping others rewarding, is willing to compromise, is compassionate? Perfect! Absolutely perfect!

[fractalman]

I advise against bumping into my dwarf. 

[MDFification]

Y'all really tempt me to bring back Emdief. For the love of god, don't make a situation that justifies bringing back Emdief. He's enjoying not appearing in this thread, being Armok's avenging transgendered murderghost, and so on. He has no time for Demongate.

Are you saying that we're not good enough for you?! It's not our fault that the bloodkin that are meant to be laying siege to the place haven't rocked up because their elfish pricks. You know what? Screw you! We'll make our own omicidal transgendered murder ghosts! With blackjack. And hookers! And they will be a hundred times better then Emdief ever was!
