Wow, three FBs in less than a full season. Do you know their specific arrival dates? You may have broken a record.

It seems that Roomcarnage gets this a lot — no forgotten beasts for a while and then several at once. Perhaps it has to do with crossing wealth or population thresholds against which FB attacks are queued?

In that case, I would think it would result in no fb attacks ever, considering that i don't think Roomcarnage has exported any goods.

I had to stop lurking to say that I've been reading for about a month and am completely hooked.  Your writing has only improved over time; by this point I would classify Roomcarnage as a straight-up horror story.  I can't wait to find out what happens next c:

I can't stop to wait anxiously for the new chapter. This is my first experience with DF, and i find it amazing.
Have you thought about spicing the forgotten beasts up with a nice isometric rendering? I liked it very much, but you seem to stop using it in later chapters...

[primalucem]

This is a remarkable story. Great job.

I can't wait to see how it (inevitably) ends.

Unfortunately, I've been having trouble using Stonesense (the isometric renderer) for some time. The in-game descriptions will have to work for now!

Thanks for all the praise, everyone! Chapter 36 is up.

Two slabs for two perished vampires...

[Shadow Of Fate]

Amazing story as usual. Hopefully, you are able to flood the entire world and trade at least once before you lose the fortress. Also, I have a theory on Rith...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 I believe Rith used Domas as a guinea pig to see if you really were trying to kill the vampires. Before, you weren't particularly careful and you did put them in risky situations. However, they always had an out. Perhaps Rith wanted to be sure of your intentions towards the vampires were as negative as they appeared. Judging from her punishment against Domas, it doesn't appear like she is adverse to using her friends and/or hurting them to get what she wants. Also, I assume the two slabs were for her vampire friends. One for Domas and one for the foul fog zombie vampire. It can't be a coincidence that two vampires die and she ordered two slabs to be made, can it? I get the feeling their sacrifice won't be in vain.

It's an interesting theory! I'm leaving it completely open to interpretation at this point... I think it's more entertaining to see what readers are thinking up regarding the oddest events in the story so far.

Chapter 37 has been posted!

Brilliant little story   I wonder, with the way the Caverns are sealed off, could you possible tunnel near one of the edges and bypass the accumulation of zombie FBs?  Maybe even get some Steel going.  Also query; how are you dealing with the 'same old food/booze' thoughts?  I was under the impression that those in particular were cumulative.

[MDFification]

Maybe even get some Steel going.

That'd be difficult without iron or goblinite.  Hopefully he does have some flux and can buy out all the iron/steel goods in the trade caravan.

[Edmus]

How do you plan on letting caravans through? Airlocks? Trap corridors?

I don't think it's possible to tunnel to the edges in order to allow the caravans to enter. They seem to appear only at the edges of the map unaffected by the lava flooding.

Steel isn't really a possibility - there's no iron anywhere on the map, and no flux. With no prospect of trade, and no goblins, the dwarves of the Momentous Dye are limited to copper.

I deal with the repetitive food/booze thoughts by processing as many individual varieties of each food/booze product as possible. With no access to surface plants, I'm limited to things that can be made with subterranean plants and any animals that I decide to butcher. That means my dwarves are eating roasts made out of dwarven wheat, dwarven sugar, dwarven syrup and (occasionally) dog meat. Alcohol consists of the familiar dwarven wine/beer/ale/rum. It's been enough so far - any morale problems have been offset by the abundance of engravings/copper statues.

How do you plan on letting caravans through? Airlocks? Trap corridors?

Military action.

Fantastic.

I've seen you use the trap/pit method in previous imgur forts, I suppose you could dig something similar here, but its kind of game-breakingly effective.
