I'm sure people have noticed this, but I think it's kinda cool that a new adventurer has everyone he knows from before you took control of him listed in the (Q)uest menu under (p)eople:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Everyone you ever meet or hear about will be listed here with as much information as you know about them. It can alleviate some of the confusion of starting a new game as a Dwarf, because it seems that often when you start, it is in the middle of an attack on your hold, and knowing who is friend and who is foe is crucial if you want to save your home. Or side with the goblins; the way it is right now (broken or not), you can do either. Sometimes, you actually know the goblins in your fortress. Which is odd, but I suppose with how people can take over new sites, integration of peoples might actually be an intended thing.

Learned of the march of an army toward an elven retreat nearby, my human swordman moved there, didn't seem the army arrived as there was no battle.
But exploring around i saw a strange smoke/cloud moving around, making me guess that's some evil area here, but when i looked at the elves dialogue i nearly laughed



"the weather looks to be fine today. It is cold"

So I tried to feed the wolf some man meat

[Wimopy]

You know the problem?
The stomach is in the lower body, not the upper body!

Next time, try feeding by hand, through the mouth?

I thin I may have found a kea nest.

Either the elves are helping the keas, or he stole the elf too.
The entire thing is full of large armor, stone and metal furniture, and a couple gems and weapons.

EDIT: Anothe one, full of clothes this time:

They're not shops, the elves said I should probably try a shopkeeper.

[Wimopy]

Elven Trade Trees? They seem to have the same pattern as dwarven ones, without the supports/roof.

[scriver]

Could be elf rooms?

[palu]

Bu the elves there don't want to trade with me, and nobody got mad at me for just walking off with them.

Hmm... I haven't tried trading with dwarves in the depot yet, and I can't recall if the items were marked as owned/stolen. Somehow dwarves hate my guts by default in adventure mode.

I just grabbed a bunch of goodies from a similar room in a dark fortress and nobody batted an eye, which phrase ties in handily with the reason I came to post in this thread—at the entrance of the tower where I found the room this gobbo was standing around rolling his eyes... literally.



(He was in fact trying to scale the wall for some reason, and when I came running back out he was right above my head)

[Spehss _]

Well this was a really shitty place to build a mountainhome then, eh Lor?

No seriously, there's only me and Lor the farmer and maybe 10 metalsmith forges in this mountainhome and I don't think there's even a way out.

[Nasikabatrachus]

Oh, that's interesting, a zombie dwarf mer—

A ZOMBIE DWARF MERCENARY?!

[superbob]

It is terrifying.

[Bloax]

It was inevitable.

As was this, even if it took half a day worth of kicking the shit out of it.

(and let's be honest why wouldn't you be playing dorf fortress with edgy, edgy gothic letters)
