Expedition Leader's Log

One of our planters is struck by a secretive mood. The base is acacia wood. We'll have to see what he makes.

Today I ordered over 900 items atomsmashed. Today is a good day. More phoenix chicks hatch. Many babies are born. One of the mothers was Fallenangel, who I didn't even know was a woman. Oh well.

Magma lovers rejoice! I have ordered the digging of the main stairwell down through the caverns all the way to the magma sea. I had to change its course many times in order to not break into the caves. Then right as we are about to reach the magma sea, this happens:

It can't reach us, but I'm going to set up an FB trap using the millstone I made. But which cavern to build it in?

I have begun construction on our magma forges. We are not truly imps without the magma from whence we came! Unfortunately, the walk is long and I think we will have to build a small fort down there to support our smelters. The first six smelters are built and told to melt things. In the floors above I think I will put stockpiles for metal bars and things to be melted.

Somehow a kobold managed to make it all the way to the farms before being found by an implet. What was he going after? He got burned to death and one of our farm plots got set on fire.

The guy with the secretive mood went melancholy. Then a goblin ambush led by an elf spearman showed up and shot the hell out of a hunter. This time I sent the military immediately instead of waiting. On the way out, some crossbowmen found two snatchers in the entrance. They get burned and shot to death. Then the same crossbowmen find an ambush of swordsmen led by an elf hammerman. They burn and shoot these guys to death too. Imps are hardcore. Several imps die, but during the battle a recruit wounded in the last ambush cuts the head off a goblin with an adamantine axe. Then a snatcher kills a wood burner before he has time to react. He is burned to death by civilians. A flaming kobold leaps from ambush and dies.

The assault begins on the other squad. A recruit is shot in the head. The spearelf is hit by a fireball only a few steps from an unconscious spearman. From this assault, there is only one casualty but many wounded.

Well, it's Granite now, so on to the next overseer.

Things to do:
 - finish the FB trap
 - expand the magma forges
 - slab the mason's ghost in the entrance
 - chain some singe deer in the entrance so thieves can't scare the citizens
 - replace the captain of the guard as he is paralyzed and a great mechanic

[FallenAngel]

Okay, apparently I am female now.
I can get right on it but I have a few things to do first.

[TheFlame52]

DO NOT USE THE MILLSTONE AS BAIT.

IT IS NOT INDESTRUCTIBLE.

THE FBS WILL DESTROY IT.

FIND SOME OTHER BAIT AND PUT THE MILLSTONE BACK IN MY TOMB.

I REPEAT: DO NOT USE THE MILLSTONE AS BAIT.

[FallenAngel]

What do you MEAN the millstone isn't indestructible?
How easily will it melt?
I'll probably get a better bait-worthy artifact during my turn.
Just trying to do a thing in adventure mode and I'll do the thing.

[TheFlame52]

The FBs walked up to it, destroyed it, and walked away. Also I found out that FBs can't be stunned by cave-ins, so this is a deadly trap only.

On a similar note, I'm going to tell you guys what all the FBs' poisons do.

[FallenAngel]

I just realized the FB is a blob of steam with no special powers.
Do you think a spearimp could kill it?
I've been able to kill titans made of snow or fire by throwing a pebble once or twice.

[FallenAngel]

From the desk of FallenAngel II, local bodysurfer

After my untimely death, I bodyswapped into a body. I swore it was male, but apparently it wasn't. The androgyny of this body is probably the reason why - even Flame was sure I was male. I didn't notice myself until an implet phased out of my back. Anyway, time to resume control of Palacecolor. I've heard reports of forgotten beasts in the caverns, although they shouldn't harm u-

OH MY ARMOK WHY ARE YOU GUYS RUNNING IN AND OUT OF THE CAVERN ACCESS
TH$FFU$FHUFHFU$FHHF

TWO ARE IN THE STAIRWELL TO THE CAVERNS
ARE YOU KIDDING ME
KILL THEM WITH ALL THE FIRES
I'M GOING TO DO ARCANE THINGS
$JHU$GB$UG$GH$

[TheFlame52]

Yeah, but just to be safe, shoot it instead.

Spoiler: Actual FB spoilers (click to show/hide)

Name: Fafire
Description: A huge blob composed of steam.  It has a round shell and it squirms and fidgets.
Attack: none
Poison: N/A
Cavern Level: 2nd
Recommendations: Shoot it and it will die instantly with no risk.

Name: Urai
Description: An enormous hairy serpent.  It has thin wings of stretched skin and it is ravening.  Its slate gray hair is short and even.  Beware its poisonous bite!
Attack: poison bite
Poison: localized pain, dizziness, coughing blood, localized numbness, localized bruising
Cavern Level: 2nd
Recommendations: Just kill it with the cave-in trap. The bite itself will kill any imp with blood loss. Watch out, it can fly.

Name: Udaru
Description: A huge feathered crab.  It has large mandibles and it squirms and fidgets.  Its green feathers are fluffed-out.  Beware its deadly spittle!
Attack: poison spit
Poison: full-body necrosis, localized paralysis, drowsiness
Cavern Level: 2nd
Recommendations: Kill it with the trap. The poison is deadly because it will cause joints to rot, which are inoperable.

Name: Asno
Description: A gigantic one-eyed kangaroo.  It has two long, hanging tails and it has a bloated body.  Its brown hair is long and wavy.  Beware its poisonous vapors!
Attack: poison vapors
Poison: localized paralysis, drowsiness, bleeding
Cavern Level: 3rd
Recommendations: Kill it with crossbowmen or leave it alone. All localized effects are full-body because it's gas, so the gas is deadly.

Name: Ena
Description: A towering one-eyed tarantula.  It has lacy wings and it appears to be emaciated.  Its pale brown exoskeleton is rough and cracked.  Beware its poisonous bite!
Attack: poison bite
Poison: localized paralysis, localized bleeding, localized organ failure
Cavern Level: 1st
Recommendations: The poison isn't that bad, but the bite itself will probably take an imp's limbs right off. Fight it with crossbowmen.

Name: Masru
Description: An enormous eyeless lizard.  It has a pair of squat antennae and it belches and croaks.  Beware its poisonous bite!
Attack: poison bite
Poison: endless nausea, dizziness, localized pain, localized oozing
Cavern Level: 3rd
Recommendations: It's still a forgotten beast, so the bite will kill more than the venom. Use crossbowmen.

Name: Snazog Esmemoklo Aguakon
Description: A great eyeless mayfly.  It has a short trunk and it undulates rhythmically.  Its gray exoskeleton is wrinkled.  Beware its poisonous gas!
Attack: poison gas
Poison: full-body bruising, localized necrosis, drowsiness
Cavern Level: 3rd
Recommendations: Don't come near this motherfucker because you will die.

Name: Dasri
Description: A huge feathered earthworm.  It has wings and it belches and croaks.  Its clear feathers are long and sparse.  Beware its deadly blood!
Attack: poison blood
Poison: localized blisters, drowsiness
Cavern Level: 2nd
Recommendations: The blood isn't that bad, but it can still bite. Use skilled melee or crossbowmen.

Name: Ustesh Juwogosman
Description: A great eyeless elephant.  It has a spiral shell and it undulates rhythmically.  Its pale pink hair is very curly.  Beware its deadly spittle!
Attack: poison spit
Poison: localized necrosis, drowsiness, vomiting blood, bleeding
Cavern Level: 2nd
Recommendations: Don't let this motherfucker spit on you. Use the trap.

Name: Utim
Description: A towering salamander composed of crystal glass.  It has large mandibles and it undulates rhythmically.  Beware its deadly spittle!
Attack: poison spit
Poison: necrosis of the fat, localized bruising
Cavern Level: 3rd
Recommendations: The poison is harmless as long as the hospital is well staffed and mostly empty. Fat necrosis isn't deadly, only muscle and bone. I almost want to see someone get spit on so the doctors will remove their fat. But to kill it use skilled melee or crossbowmen.

EDIT: I don't think they can get into the fort proper without wings, which neither of them have. Unless you made some changes to the fort.

[FallenAngel]

Masru died by way of fire, and Snaznog is in the cavern access, but heavily crippled. Snaznog won't last much longer in the mixture of fire and imp bolts.
Also, Fafire died somehow. Dunno how, probably by a crawling eye sneezing 10 meters away from it.
Utim is also in the cavern access.
THINGS ARE OCCURRING.
Checking the things proves that it tried pushing a crossbowman to death, but the attacks glances away.
And then suddenly (silver impish bolt).
I've managed to keep the FBs stuck in the path to the caverns, and the only one actually using its ability is the one with the globs. Very few have died, surprisingly. Only three recorded deaths so far.
WE CAN KILL DEM BEASTIES

EDIT: I think one of them has wings.
Did you put a door in the cavern access?
There's a gap in the 2nd cavern. And probably one in the third.
EDIT2: Flame seems to be under the effect of Snaznogitis's bruising stage in his everything, since he got trapped between Snaznog and Utim. Note that he has no reason to be there - the underground mining jobs were all complete, and he already went to his room. I'm assuming it was impish stupidity.

[FallenAngel]

...and the inevitable has happened.

*salutes*
May ye forever hurl fireballs at things in wherever the heck we go.

[TheFlame52]

GODDAMNIT

[FallenAngel]

You get used to dying.
(points to FallenAngel the fire imp, FallenAngel the dwarf, and FallenAngel II the dwarf)

[TheFlame52]

I died twice in Murdermachines, but I don't know to what. All I know is that both times I got put in the military.

[FallenAngel]

Neither times in Demongate did I get put in the military. You didn't here, but you got trapped between 3 FBs, and I was put in the military once.
Currently doing things relevant to this thread.

[FallenAngel]

I pray to the elder ones that these forgotten beasts will die soon.

All of this happened within the same frame.
Lucky for us, the glass one has tons of fractures and the organic ones are melting to death.
